Skimming Exercise

Skim reading can be a useful technique when researching. This skill involves reading a longish text or parts of one in order to get the gist (the main idea) of what it contains. The aim is not to get a detailed understanding but rather an overview of a text that may be relevant to your enquiry. Skim the below text and then answer the questions below

Questions
  1. What is the main concept discussed by the text?
  2. What is the main point of the first paragraph?
  3. Which stage is not a part of the process for describing a new species?
  4. What does the scientific names of the two species of shrimp consist of?
  5. What is not permitted when naming a new species?
