if you were to write a scientific article about domestic cats and use binomial nomenclature, how would you refer to cats in your article?
Any binomial nomenclature includes the genus name followed by the specific epithet. The genus name indicated the genus from which the organism belongs and the specific epithet indicates the species.
To write the binomial name of an organism we have to italicize the name. The first letter of the genus will be in the capital letter but the first letter of the specific epithet will be in small letter. We also have to mention the name of the scientist who named the organism using that binomial nomenclature.
For example, the scientific name of the domestic cat which is binomial is--- Felis catus Linn. Here, Felis is the genus, catus is the specific epithet and Linn. is the abbreviation for Carolus Linnaeus who has given this binomial name.

If you were reading a scientific article, how could you tell that the research was approved by an oversight committee?
Linnaeus' two major contributions to taxonomy were binomial nomenclature for species and a ranked system of taxa. What are the uses and purposes of taxonomy and nomenclature? How well does the Linnaean system work for those purposes? Are there other possible purposes that might require a different system? What benefit can you see of learning and using taxon names? How does taxonomy help us understand biology? What are the advantages and disadvantages of retaining use of formal Linnaean ranks for...
Chapter 6, Section 1-CI, Exercise 019 How Many Household Cats Hunt Birds? “Domestic cats kill many more wild birds in the United States than scientists thought,” states a recent article.1 Researchers used a sample of n=140 households in the US with cats to estimate that 35% of household cats in the US hunt outdoors. 1Milius, S., “Cats kill more than one billion birds each year,” Science News, 183(4),February 23, 2013, revised March 8, 2014. Data approximated from information give in...
In domestic cats there are many genes that affect coat colour and pattern. One of these loci is called spotting. Phenotypes associated with alleles at the spotting locus are incompletely dominant. Homozygous individuals of one type (SS) have white hair on more than 50% of their bodies, heterozygous individuals (Ss) have white hair on less than 50% of their bodies (commonly confined to underparts such as the legs/feet, belly, and chin), and homozygous individuals of the other type (ss) have...
Cats as Subsidized Predators A recent conservation study in the prestigious journal Nature became a huge story (and controversy) among animal lovers. This study showed that domestic cats in the US kill a median of 2.4 billion birds and12.3 billion mammals per year. Many of these birds and mammals are native species (not just invasive, non-native urban pests). Owned (pet) cats had less impact than unowned cats, but outdoor pet cats still caused substantial wildlife mortality. For Week 4's discussion,...
You have become concerned about the practice of setting up feeding stations for feral cats. You really like cats, out research links large populations of feral cats to high mortality of songbirds, small reptiles and amphibian, as Teral cats often utilize these as a food source Community advocates for the feeding stations insist that the cal populations are stable and not a problem. You find a researcher who has been collecting data on populations of teral cats (often called community...
In 500 words write this post Now that you know a little bit about scientific management (Taylorism), I would like you to think about where you can see the principles of scientific management at work in the world today. In your place of work? In schools, colleges, and other educational institutions? In restaurants, grocery stores, pharmacies, and other retail establishments? In your classroom? Give me a few examples of what you have encountered personally.
