Taxonomy: For all marine species, Project Gastropods uses the taxonomy in the online database WoRMS. When starting a new article, do not use sources of taxonomic information that predate the 2017 revision for all gastropod groups ("Revised Classification, Nomenclator and Typification of Gastropod and Monoplacophoran Families" by Philippe Bouchet & Jean-Pierre Rocroi, Bernhard Hausdorf, Andrzej Kaim, Yasunori Kano, Alexander Nützel, Pavel Parkhaev, Michael Schrödl and Ellen E. Strong in Malacologia, 2017, 61(1–2): 1–526.) (can be dowloaded at Researchgate.net), substituting the previous classification of 2005 Taxonomy of the Gastropoda (Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005).

Are there any reputable sources of Lamarck's signature? I've found this but I am unsure as to its authenticity. --Hands1236Meme (talk) 01:45, 14 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

A note edit

This article duplicates Lamarck, but there is much more information there. I think we may suppress this one. --FvdP 23:14 Nov 28, 2002 (UTC)

Abbreviations of name as author edit

The article mentions the abbreviation "Lam." What about "Lmk."? And the Catholic Ency says "Lm." is used in zoology. Nurg (talk) 10:07, 10 February 2018 (UTC)Reply

Lamarckism or Lamarckianism edit

Latest comment: 5 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

This article uses the term "Lamarckism" for the theory of evolution that Lamarck put forth, but I thought the term was "Lamarckianism". Vorbee (talk) 08:39, 16 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

Lamarckism is by far the more widely used term, familiar from many textbooks and journal articles. Google confirms this experience, giving it about 300,000 hits, of which Scholar finds 25,000; Google finds about 15,000 for Lamarckianism, of which Scholar finds about 2,000.
