One of the counter-intuitive things a new Wikipedian has to adjust to is the
convention on capitalization of titles: Only the first word is capitalized
unless it is a proper noun. This is not natural as all words in a title are
conventionally capitalized. We do that so that links from within text do not
need to be capitalized.

In the case of species names we are now making an exception, creating
another counter-intuitive requirement: in text all words in the name of a
species must be capitalized. Again in contradiction to expected usage.
Having adopted the convention that in titles all words in a species name are
capitalized we are now forced to have them capitalized in text in order that
links work.

So we have three choices: put the titles of species in the usual first word
only capitalized format; capitalize all words of a species name in text; or
made a redirect for each species to the all caps format.

This is not a major issue with me. I guess I only want to see a definite
convention established.
