Changes in the ALDH Nomenclature

Last modified January 19, 2001

A few changes in the ALDH nomenclature were made by the nomenclature committee, some of which were suggested by Greg Duster.  The list below includes give both names--New and Old, along with Species and Trivial name, so the nomenclature can be kept current. Old names should be replaced by new names or at least cross-referenced to new names. These changes will be updated in the the nomenclature files.
