   Taxonomists, in almost any biological field, have heard of Carolus Linnaeus. His two prime contributions were: (1) to establish conventions for the naming of living organisms using binomial nomenclature (the genus name followed by the species name), and (2) developing an hierarchical system for classification of organisms.
