To all,
I am currently trying to compose a taxonomic list of various species and
have run into some trouble. I am finding multiple names used for domestic
chickens. I have seen Gallus gallus, Gallus gallus domesticus, and Gallus
domesticus. Yet I cannot find an authoritative source to say which is the
currently accepted name. If someone could send me the citation for a
source that would have this information I would greatly appreciate it.
Also can anyone tell me of a good source for reptile names? I found a good
source for reptiles of North America but any species not found here I have
to hunt down individual source information on.
Thank you for your time,
Jeff Alfred
