International Society for Phylogenetic Nomenclature (ISPN)

The International Society for Phylogenetic Nomenclature (ISPN) is an organization that aims to create a standardized naming system for living organisms based on their evolutionary relationships. It promotes rules and guidelines to ensure that species are named in a way that reflects their genetic connections. By establishing clear naming conventions, the ISPN helps scientists communicate more effectively about biodiversity and evolutionary history, making it easier to understand and study the relationships among different species. This is particularly important as our understanding of genetics and evolution continues to evolve.
