[QUOTE="Metalman2004, post: 135620, member: 7681"] Common names don’t follow any established rules and therefore don’t mean much. Each common name potentially refers to multiple scientific names and multiple common names are used for each given scientific name. Although scientific names do change with pear-reviewed scientific papers, they actually describe distinct species. Stick with scientific names if you want to be sure of the actual species you are talking about. Common names can get confusing really quick because they don’t have an established meaning. [/QUOTE]
