Things to note:

  • Usually the taxobox heading is the common name of the family in bold type. When the common name is used, it should be pluralized. The ''article title, however, should always be in the singular.
  • If there is no suitable common name, use the scientific name instead.
  • Watch out for taxonomic issues. It's a minefield out there!
