Linnaeus was relieved of his duties in the Royal Swedish Academy of Science in 1763, but continued his work there as usual for more than ten years after.[86] In 1769 he was elected to the American Philosophical Society for his work.[124] He stepped down as rector at Uppsala University in December 1772, mostly due to his declining health.[85][125] The establishment of universally accepted conventions for the naming of organisms was Linnaeus's main contribution to taxonomy—his work marks the starting point of consistent use of binomial nomenclature.[157] During the 18th century expansion of natural history knowledge, Linnaeus also developed what became known as the Linnaean taxonomy; the system of scientific classification now widely used in the biological sciences.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-7895.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-7895.txt
