In zoological nomenclature, author citation refers to listing the person (or team) who first makes a scientific name of a taxon available. This is done in a scientific publication while fulfilling the formal requirements under the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature,〔(International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, Fourth Edition, 1999 (online version) )〕 hereinafter termed "the Code". According to the Code, "the name of the author does not form part of the name of a taxon and its citation is optional, although customary and often advisable" (Article 51.1), however Recommendation 51A suggests: "The original author and date of a name should be cited at least once in each work dealing with the taxon denoted by that name. This is especially important in distinguishing between homonyms and in identifying species-group names which are not in their original combinations". For the purpose of information retrieval, the author citation and year appended to the scientific name, e.g. genus-species-author-year, genus-author-year, family-author-year, etc., is often considered a "de facto" unique identifier, although for a number of reasons discussed below, this usage may often be imperfect. == Rank matters == The Code recognises three groups of names, according to rank: *family-group names, at the ranks of superfamily, family, subfamily, tribe, subtribe (any rank below superfamily and above genus). *genus-group names, at the ranks of genus and subgenus. *species-group names, at the ranks of species and subspecies. Within each group, the same authorship applies regardless of the taxon level to which the name (with, in the case of a family-group name, the appropriate ending) is applied. For example, the taxa that the red admiral butterfly can be assigned to: *Family: Nymphalidae Swainson, 1827 so also * * Subfamily: Nymphalinae Swainson, 1827 and * * Tribe: Nymphalini Swainson, 1827 *Genus: ''Vanessa'' Fabricius, 1807 so also * * Subgenus: ''Vanessa (Vanessa)'' Fabricius, 1807 *Species: ''Vanessa atalanta'' (Linnaeus, 1758) so also * * Subspecies: ''Vanessa atalanta atalanta'' (Linnaeus, 1758) *: (The parentheses around the author citation indicate that this was not the original taxonomic placement: in this case, Linnaeus published the name as *: ''Papilio atalanta'' Linnaeus, 1758.) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Author citation (zoology)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
