Would you expect a field guide to have common names as well as scientific names?

How do you find common names for scientific names of protists?

Give an example of an animal that has one scientific name but two or more common names?

Why is it best for scientists to use the scientific name of an organism instead of a common name?
Using the scientific name ensures clarity and precision, as common names can vary across regions and languages. Scientific names follow a standardized naming system (binomial nomenclature) which helps scientists accurately identify and classify organisms worldwide.
Why are scientific names used to describe organisms rather than common names?
Common names might not be as common as you think. Organisms can be known by several different common names, depending on when and where you are. Inversely, several different plants may be referred to with the same common name, depending on their similarities. Scientific names never change, and no two differing organisms have the same scientific name. This allows for a better understanding and grouping of organisms within the scientific community.

Why are plants given a scientific name along with a common name?
Scientific names are exact. They tell us the genus and species that the animal or plant belongs to and only one scientific name is given to each species. Common names, on the other hand, are abundant with many species having two or more common names. Let's look at the cougar as an example. Its scientific name is Puma concolor. It's common names include cougar, Florida panther, panther, puma, catamount and mountain lion. A puma is neither a panther nor a lion. It is in a genus that it shares with the jaguarundi so you can see where confusion would come in.
