Being a biologist, and having actually studied giant pandas, I vote for common name first, then scientific name. While scientific names are certainly more standardized than common ones, I wouldn't think much of our audience would use scientific names for their searches. If they did use a scientific name, would CZ still pull up the article if the scientific name were in the title, or even the body of the article somewhere?
