Most of the curiosities in biological nomenclature appear in scientific
names of organisms and of genes, probably because that's where most of
the naming occurs. (There are about
1.4 million
named species and 30,000 human genes.) However, curiosities show up in
other biological nomenclature, too. This section collects them, as well as
stories about naming names that don't fit well elsewhere.
