a tradução do SP pfv

[LuisVentura]

Boas a todos,

 

deve estar para aqui a fazer uma pergunta mesmo basica mas que sinceramente desconheço a resposta,

Qual é o significado/tradução do Sp. nos nomes dos peixes?

 

nunca perguntei e como tenho andado a ver algumas especies novas isto aparece imenso, so não sei é o seu significado.

 

 

obrigado pela clarificação.

Abbreviated names

Books and articles sometimes intentionally do not identify species fully and use the abbreviation "sp." in the singular or "spp." in the plural in place of the specific epithet: for example, Canis sp. This commonly occurs in the following types of situations:

 

The authors are confident that some individuals belong to a particular genus but are not sure to which exact species they belong. This is particularly common in paleontology.

The authors use "spp." as a short way of saying that something applies to many species within a genus, but do not wish to say that it applies to all species within that genus. If scientists mean that something applies to all species within a genus, they use the genus name without the specific epithet.

In books and articles, genus and species names are usually printed in italics. If using "sp." and "spp.", these should not be italicized.
