What does the species name of an orgnisam include? :eek:

tboma, this is a non-question, you have to be more specific.

It include the genus, which is capitalized, and the species name, which is not.

So for a human being, the species name is Home sapiens.
BOTH should be in italics.

For a cat, it is Felis catus.
For a California poppy, Eschscholzia californica.

People often get this wrong in print, so don't be confused by websites and newspapers that have it different.

Does this answer your question?
