List at least 3 criteria by which species are named.

Expert Solution

1. Holotype must be designated

It must be ensured that the specimen acts as the identifier for the entire species
No strain specific characteristic must be used for identification because that feature might not be present in other strains of same species
Any such additional features are called paratypes and they must also be identified by a a taxonomist

2. A description of the new species is necessary

The new species must be defined on various parameters like behaviour, anatomy, morphology, etc
The information regarding the origin of the holotypes and paratypes must be provided
A new name is then assigned to it : the genus and the species

3. Publishing of the data in open domain

The new data must be published in a form that is accessible worldwide
The advent of information era has made this process area because publishing in electronic/digital form of the data is also permissible

c++ Create a class named EvolutionTree which will hold a list of species and their expected age, and allow a user to search for a particular species or an age. EvolutionTree should have private data members: species (a string array of size 400 with all the species) speciesAges (an int array of size 400 for all the species' ages). EvolutionTree should have a default constructor which should initialize the species array to empty strings ("") and initialize the speciesAges array...

You have discovered a new species of vampire bat in South America (which you have named Desmodus knoxensis!), and you wish to answer several questions about its behavior. Given the fact that D. knoxensis females and juveniles roost together in hollow trees like other vampire bats, you hypothesize that vampire bat roosts act as information centers, a hypothesis that requires FOUR pieces of evidence (list them below). Based on your knowledge of a related vampire bat species (D. rotundus), what...
