Question

Example of homonym in biology

Answer 1

Answer:

HOMONYMS :

In biology, a homonym is a name for a taxon that is identical in spelling to another such name, that belongs to a different taxon.

For example:

• Cuvier proposed the genus Echidna in 1797 for the spiny anteater.

• However, Forster had already published the name Echidna in 1777 for a genus of moray eels.

• Forster's use thus has priority, with Cuvier's being a junior homonym.

• Illiger published the replacement name Tachyglossus in 1811.
