- Usagesearch for term
The association of appearances of a name within a document. If Smith (1955) published an article on Aus bus, and mentioned the name "Aus bus" 14 times within the article (i.e. there are 14 appearances of the binomial), then there would be three usages - "Aus in Smith 1955", "bus in Smith 1955", and (arguably) "Aus bus in Smith 1955". The combination of the name and the reference is a chresonym. In the event that the usages bears on the identity of the taxon, these usages may also be referred to as "Aus sec Smith 1955" or "Aus bus sensu Smith 1955".
