How species’ names follow a binomial nomenclature.
Introduction:
Binomial nomenclature is a method of naming organisms using a two-term naming system. Each species is classified under different taxonomical levels based on their similarities. So, organisms should have a common naming system to identify them. Binomial nomenclature system was introduced by the scientist Carolus Linnaeus. According to his nomenclature system there are some rules to follow.

Choices: Principle of binomial nomenclature, principle of priority, principle of coordination, principle of the first reviser, principle of homonymy, principle of typification When Rattus as a genus name was established, its species name, Rattus norvegicus was also automatically established. Noctua Linnæus, 1758 (Lepidoptera) and Noctua Gmelin (Sauropsida) Limax maculatus was established in 1837 by Nunneley. However, it was found that Wiktor has already established Limax maximus (Gastropoda) in 1758. Since L. maximus was the senior synonym, it takes precedence over L. maculatus and it was used for the species.
