Manual for proposing a part of the list of available names (LAN) in zoology
Article 79 of the Fourth Edition of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature
(henceforth Code) describes an official List of Available Names in Zoology
(henceforth LAN), consisting of a series of “Parts” (of defined taxonomic and temporal
scope), compiled by relevant experts. The LAN represents a comprehensive inventory
of names available under the Code. The aim of this manual is to define a procedure
for implementing Article 79, with format suggestions for zoologists aiming to create
a Part of the LAN for family-group, genus-group, or species-group names in zoological
nomenclature. Because the LAN may serve as an important basis for retrospective
content in ZooBank, the structure outlined here is designed to allow easy importation
to ZooBank.Peer Reviewe
