The Bulletin of Zoological Nomenclature (2001-2007)

Cases

These are applications for Commission action to set aside the provisions of the Code in circumstances where their strict observance would cause instability or confusion.

 

Comments on Cases

Publication of an application in the form of a Case is an invitation for any person to contribute comments, which may also be published. Comments on Cases are published on this website.

 

Opinions

The Commission makes a ruling, called an Opinion, on a case only after a suitable period for comments. All Opinions are published in the Bulletin of Zoological Nomenclature and abstracts of recent Opinions are published on this website.

 

General Articles & Nomenclatural Notes

The Bulletin also contains General Articles and Nomenclatural Notes relevant to zoological nomenclature; such contributions are invited and should be sent to the Secretariat.
