Binomial Names 
<code>is_binomial</code> tests for valid binomial names,
<code>generic_name</code> extracts the genus to which the species belongs,
<code>specific_name</code> extracts the species within the genus.

Preprocessing tools and biodiversity measures
(species abundance, species richness, population heterogeneity and
sensitivity) for analysing marine benthic data. See Van Loon et al.
(2015) <doi:10.1016/j.seares.2015.05.002> for an application of
these tools.
