It is clear to me, give the tone of the debate, that the usual naming
convention should apply for species, to wit, only the first word in a title
should be capialized unless the word is a proper noun, which species names
are not. This is in line with the usual Wikipedia practice, making an
exception in this (or any other case) is only a source of heat and detracts
from the work at hand.

I don't propose any big effort to "correct" articles, but just making plain
that species names are not an exception to the general rule with editing
changes as the opportunity arrises.
