3. According to Simpson(1961) taxon is a group of real organisms recognized as formal unit at any level of hierarchic classification
4. Elton(1947) acknowledged the progress in ecology depends upon accurate identifications of species.

11. Simpson in1961 published extensively on the taxonomy of fossil and extinct mammals.
12. Thomas E.Mittler was an Austrian entomologist.
13. Frederick Smith work edin the zoology department of British Museumfrom1849. he describe 25genera,702 species
14. Mayr in1982 provided a details of various periods of History of Taxonomy
15. Buffon prepared the way for the biological species concept,
16. Anderson 1763 (Botanist) applied this design for the classification of plants
17. Cuvier recognized five phyla
18. Van Baer, Owen divided all species in to limited no. of groups each representing a distinct type
19. By 1955 taxonomy reach such a status that it was called taxonomic explosion
20. The species which are found in a particular region,called endemic species.
21. A cline is the gradual change in the phenotypes and genotypes
22. A clade is a group of organisms that evolved from a common ancestor
23. Typological species concept This concept was proposed by Aristotle and Plato
24. Electrophoretic This method determine the in the isozyme and allozyme.
25. Process to determine that which character is more reliable is called weighting.

28. Less crowded conditions transitional phase
29. Separate rearing Solitary phase
30. These phases differ in anatomy,colour and behavioral characteristics distinct species
31. A curator is a person Curation is process
32. When the holotype of the species is the only specimen known to science, it is known as monotype.
33. Specimens collected at type locality are called Topotypes.
34. Population that occurs at the type locality is called Topotypical population.
35. Conservation can may be avoided in Zoology as these names fall in formal category of Nomen oblitum.
36. A name published without satisfying the condition of availability is called nomen nudum
