Genus is a taxonomic rank used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms as well as viruses. In the hierarchy of biological classification, genus comes above species and below family. In binomial nomenclature, the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus.
In taxonomy, binomial nomenclature, also called binominal nomenclature or binary nomenclature, is a formal system of naming species of living things by giving each a name composed of two parts, both of which use Latin grammatical forms, although they can be based on words from other languages. Such a name is called a binomial name, a binomen, binominal name, or a scientific name; more informally it is also historically called a Latin name.
Columbidae is a bird family consisting of doves and pigeons. It is the only family in the order Columbiformes. These are stout-bodied birds with short necks and short slender bills that in some species feature fleshy ceres. They primarily feed on seeds, fruits, and plants. The family occurs worldwide, but the greatest variety is in the Indomalayan and Australasian realms.
Starlings are small to medium-sized passerine birds in the family Sturnidae. The Sturnidae are named for the genus Sturnus, which in turn comes from the Latin word for starling, sturnus. Many Asian species, particularly the larger ones, are called mynas, and many African species are known as glossy starlings because of their iridescent plumage. Starlings are native to Europe, Asia, and Africa, as well as northern Australia and the islands of the tropical Pacific. Several European and Asian species have been introduced to these areas, as well as North America, Hawaii, and New Zealand, where they generally compete for habitats with native birds and are considered to be invasive species. The starling species familiar to most people in Europe and North America is the common starling, and throughout much of Asia and the Pacific, the common myna is indeed common.
In biology, a monotypic taxon is a taxonomic group (taxon) that contains only one immediately subordinate taxon. A monotypic species is one that does not include subspecies or smaller, infraspecific taxa. In the case of genera, the term "unispecific" or "monospecific" is sometimes preferred. In botanical nomenclature, a monotypic genus is a genus in the special case where a genus and a single species are simultaneously described. In contrast, an oligotypic taxon contains more than one but only a very few subordinate taxa.
In zoological nomenclature, a type species is the species name with which the name of a genus or subgenus is considered to be permanently taxonomically associated, i.e., the species that contains the biological type specimen. A similar concept is used for suprageneric groups and called a type genus.
Dendroceros is a genus of hornworts in the family Dendrocerotaceae. The genus contains about 51 species native to tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world.
The Notothyladaceae is the only family of hornworts in the order Notothyladales.
Monosolenium tenerum is a weedy species of liverwort found in east Asia. It is the only species in the genus Monosolenium and the family Monosoleniaceae.
Andrewsianthus is a genus of liverworts in the family Lophoziaceae.
Frullania is the only genus of liverworts in family Frullaniaceae. It contains the following species:
Kurzia is a genus of liverworts in the family Lepidoziaceae. It contains the following species. Kurzia crenacanthoideaG. Martens is a synonym of Kurzia gonyotricha(Sande Lac.) Grolle.
Luteolejeunea is a monotypic genus of liverwort in family Lejeuneaceae. It only contains the one species, Luteolejeunea herzogii(Buchloch) Piippo.
Haplomitriopsida is a newly recognized class of liverworts comprising fifteen species in three genera. Recent cladistic analyses of nuclear, mitochondrial, and plastid gene sequences place this monophyletic group as the basal sister group to all other liverworts. The group thus provides a unique insight into the early evolution of liverworts in particular and of land plants in general.
Jensenia is a bryophyte plant genus in the liverwort family Pallaviciniaceae. It has been treated as a subgenus of Pallavicinia by several authors, though a set of features seems to set it apart as a genus. The six or seven species of the genus belong to a southern, possibly Gondwana element.
Calycularia is the only genus of liverwort in the family Calyculariaceae. It was formerly included within the Allisoniaceae, and it includes only two species.
Samuli Piippo is a Finnish competitive archer. A late beginner in competitive archery, Piippo made his debut on the Finnish national team at the age of 33, and roused a major surprise in his sporting career by booking one of the three individual Olympic places to Rio 2016 at the European Championships in Nottingham, Great Britain. While training full-time at a local archery range in his current residence Oulu, Piippo works as a web applications designer for an information technology firm.
Heteroscyphus is a genus of liverworts in the family Lophocoleaceae. 87 species was accepted in this worldwide group in 2019.
Lophocolea is a genus of liverworts belonging to the family Lophocoleaceae. The genus has a cosmopolitan distribution.
