with plants and animals. The study
of biological, osteological, and
botanical remains, archaeological
sites, sciences, related fields.

AEROBIOLOGY
AEROBIOLOGY
Aerobiology is a branch of biology
that studies organic particles, such
as bacteria, fungal spores, very small
insects and pollen, which are passively
transported by the air.
One of the main fields of aerobiology
has traditionally been to measure and
report quantities of airborne pollen
as a service to allergy sufferers.
In 2002, algae and other small water-
borne organisms were discovered to
inhabit clouds. A large cloud has about
as much water as a shallow lake of the
same geographic size.

BOTANICAL
NOMENCLATURE
Botanical nomenclature is the formal
naming of plants, from a scientific
point of view. It has a long history,
going back perhaps to Theophrastos,
but anyway back to the period when
Latin was the scientific language
throughout Europe.
This gives every plant species a name
which remained the same no matter what
other species were placed in the genus,
and thus separated taxonomy from the
nomenclature.

The Nomenclature Codes
"the Codes of nomenclature"
are the rulebooks that govern
biological nomenclature.
After the successful introduction of
two-part names for species by Linnaeus
it became ever more apparent that a
detailed body of rules was necessary
to govern scientific names.
From the mid-nineteenth century onwards
there were several initiatives to arrive
at worldwide-accepted sets of rules. In
the course of time these became the present
Nomenclature Codes governing the naming of:
animals:
(ICZN)
plants:
Fungi, cyanobacteria
ICBN with supplementary Codes
bacteria:
(ICNB)
viruses:

NAME
A botanical name is a formal scientific
name conforming to the International
Code of Botanical Nomenclature (ICBN).
The purpose of formal name is to have
a single name that is accepted and used
worldwide for a particular plant or
plant group.
The International Code of Nomenclature
for Cultivated Plants (ICNCP) regulates
the naming of cultivars, cultivar Groups
and graft-chimaeras.

ZOOARCHAEOLOGY
ARCHAEOZOOLOGY
Zooarchaeology (or Archaeozoology)
is the study of animal remains from
archaeological sites.
The remains consist primarily of the
hard parts of the body such as bones,
teeth, and shells. Such remains may
represent the food refuse of ancient
populations as well as animals used
for transportation, farm labor,
clothing, decoration, or pets.
