Concept information
Preferred term
univocality
Definition(s)
- One of the qualities that a nomenclatural system should have: in a good nomenclatural system, allocation of a nomen to a taxon must be univocal, i.e. it should not allow ambiguity in either sense: given a taxonomy, a taxon must receive one single nomen, in all countries worldwide and by all taxonomists, whatever their opinions or tastes. Of course, this requirement does not concern distinct taxonomies of the same group: each taxonomy implies its own nomenclature. (Dubois 2005c)
