Abstract

xvi the same type genus, and their names are formed from the stemof the name of the type genus (Art. 29.3] with appropriate change of suffix [Art. 34.1]. The name has the same authorship and date at every rank." Such changes of rank and concomitant changes of endings as elevation of a subfamily to family rank or of a family to superfamily rank, if introduced subsequent to designation of the original taxon or based on the same nominotypical genus, are nomina translata. In the Treatise it is desirable to distinguish the valid alteration in the changed ending of each transferred family-group name by the term nomen translatum, abbreviated to nom. transl. Similarly for clarity, authors should record the author, date, and page of the alteration, as in the following example.

How physical and biotic factors affect brachiopods from the Patagonian Continental Shelf

“…The nature of substrates would therefore be one of the primary factors, as found by Foster (1989). It is also important to note that brachiopods in general show great morphological variability or phenotypic plasticity (Alexander, 1977;Topper et al, 2017;Williams et al, 2006) which allows them to adapt to a wide range of habitats (Williams et al, 2006), where substrate type influences by inhibiting or promoting shell growth in a particular direction (Topper et al, 2017). In the case of M. venosa, which was registered along the whole latitudinal gradient, the highest values for mean body size were found at two stations (43 and 35), corresponding to 46°S and 51°S latitudes, respectively (Fig.…”
