2) Increased understanding and communication.

Various cultures and societies shape individual names for a particular organism. However, binomial nomenclature breaks this barrier to allow the scientific community to communicate more efficiently.

For example, the panther or mountain lion can simply become Puma concolor — thus, eliminating confusion. I hope this helps.
