∙ 6y agoScientific names are unique to one specific 'thing'. Common names change depending on what they're applied to. For example - a Royal python is also known by the name 'Ball python' - but its latin name (python regius) is always the same.
A scientific name provides a universal and standardized way to identify organisms, ensuring accuracy and avoiding confusion due to different common names across languages and regions. Scientific names are based on taxonomy, grouping organisms based on shared characteristics, which can give insight into their evolutionary relationships.

∙ 11y agoScientific names employ the naming system Binomial nomenclature, which lists an organism according to genus and species, as Genus species. This eliminates the potential for multicultural ambiguity and confusion, as scientific names are universal. Also, the nomenclature of an organism tells you about its evolutionary characteristics, something common names usually do not even suggest.

Is there a seo benefit to com domain vs pro?
No seo benefit to having a .com domain name vs another extension domain name. The benefit of a .com is from the user. People may remember your domain name but not remember that it's a .net or .biz or whatever extension. Most individuals automatically type .com - so, if you own the .net version, your competitor will get some traffic (at his .com domain) at your expense. Hope this answers your question.
