93 The naming of organisms (and plant communities)
hypotype: (zool., obsol.) a described or figured specimen, other than the
type, used in a publication extending or correcting the knowledge of
a previously defined species; a subsequent or supplementary type;
see also apotype, epitype, heutotype, plesiotype.
i.e., [id est]: that is.
IAMS: (obsol.) the International Association for Microbiological Societies;
since 1979 the International Union of Microbiological Societies
(q.v.).
IAPT: see International Association for Plant Taxonomy.
IBC: see International Botanical Congress.
ibid., [ibidem]: in the same place; used as short-hand when referring again
to a just-cited publication, or in a list of specimens examined where
one is from the same locality as the last cited.
ICB: see International Committee on Bionomenclature.
ICBN: see International Code of Botanical Nomenclature.
ichnogenus: an ichnotaxon (q.v.) in the rank of genus.
ichnospecies: an ichnotaxon (q.v.) in the rank of species.
ichnotaxon: (palaeo. bio., palaeo. zool.) a taxon based on a trace fossil or
the fossilised work of an animal, including burrows, borings and
etchings, tracks and trackways, coprolites, gastroliths, regurgitaliths,
nests, woven cocoons, spider webs, leaf mines, some types of galls,
bite and gnaw structures; names of ichnotaxa do not compete in
priority with a name established for an animal, even the animal that
formed or may have formed the trace fossil; see also work of an
animal.
ICNB: see International Code of Nomenclature of Bacteria.
ICNCP: see (1) International Code of Nomenclature of Cultivated Plants.
(2) International Commission for the Nomenclature of Cultivated
Plants.
