*the modern system of naming ‘organisms’*
.
*he is known as the ‘father’ of ‘modern taxonomy’*
.
(many of his writings were in ‘latin’)
(and so his name is rendered in ‘latin’ as carolus linnæus)
((after 1761 carolus a linné))
.
(‘linnaeus’ was born in the countryside of ‘småland’ in ‘southern sweden’)
(he received most of his ‘higher education’ at ‘uppsala university’ + began giving lectures in ‘botany’ there in ‘1730’)
(he lived ‘abroad’ between ‘1735’ – ‘1738’, where he ‘studied’ + also published the 1st edition of his systema naturae in ‘the netherlands’).
(he then returned to ‘sweden’ where he became professor of ‘medicine’ + ‘botany’ at ‘uppsala’)
(in the ‘1740s’, he was sent on several ‘journeys’ through ‘sweden’ to ‘find’ + classify ‘plants’ + ‘animals’)

.
*he is also considered as one of the founders of ‘modern ecology’*
.
(in ‘botany’ + ‘zoology’, the abbreviation L. is used to indicate ‘linnaeus’ as the ‘authority’ for a species’ name)
(in older publications, the abbreviation ‘linn’ is found)
(linnaeus’s remains comprise the ‘type specimen’ for the species homo sapiens following the ‘international code’ of ‘zoological nomenclature’)
.
(…(since the sole ‘specimen’ that he is known to have examined was himself)
