Here are the Editor's Picks articles for the Biology Site! These are the top ten articles that your Biology Editor feels are most important for you to read. Enjoy!

1. Binomial Nomenclature - Fun With Names
Taxonomists, those who come up with specific names for organisms, don't necessarily fall into the category of stodgy, boring old scientists as many folks might believe.

2. Binomial Nomenclature
Binomial Nomenclature is the system of designating plants and animals by two 'latinized' words signifying the genus and species. Why is this system important in the scientific world?

3. Biological Classification
In the 1700's, a Swedish scientist named Carl Linnaeus undertook the difficult task of organizing all living things together by type. Remarkably, the Linnean hierarchy developed then is still used in today's scheme of biological classification.

4. Agroforestry - An Introduction
Agroforestry, as the name implies, is the process of combining the practices of agriculture and forestry in order to create beneficial biological interactions.

5. Cell Theory - What is Cell Theory?
First developed in the mid-17th century, cell theory is one of the foundations of the science of biology.

6. What is the Scientific Method?
Biologists acquire scientific knowledge by use of what is known as the scientific method. Following the steps of the scientific method ensures that scientists have an orderly way of gaining information about the biological world.

7. Biomes
Biomes are major ecological regions within which the biotic (living) communities, both plant and animal, are similar in general characteristics and in their relationship to the abiotic (non-living) physical environment.

8. What are Calories?
There's always a lot of talk about calories, especially when speaking in terms of weight loss. How many calories are too many? Does it matter what type of calories we consume? But, do most people really understand exactly what a calorie is and how calories work?

9. Cell Types - The Three Major Cell Types
We know that cells are the building blocks of all life. In this article, we learn about the three major types of cells and how they differ from one another.

10. Botany - An Introduction to Plant Biology
Botany is the branch of biology that deals with the study of plants, including their structure, properties, and biochemical processes.
