Phylogenetic nomenclature, hierarchical information, and testability.
In a continuing debate about the usefulness of phylogenetic nomenclature, Platnick (2012) has apparently conceded the two main points of our previous paper (de Queiroz and Donoghue 2011) by providing no counter-arguments. First, contrary to Platnick’s previous assertions, when appropriate comparisons are made (i.e., between taxonomies consisting of the same-named groups), there are no differenc...

متن کاملREPRINT Biological Nomenclature from Linnaeus to the PhyloCode
Linnaeus and other 18th Century naturalists practiced nomenclature in a way that associated taxon names more strongly with taxa (groups) than with the categorical ranks of the taxonomic (“Linnaean”) hierarchy. For those early naturalists, ranks functioned merely as devices for indicating hierarchical position that did not affect the application or spelling of taxon names. Consequently, taxa did...
متن کاملThe defínitions of taxon names: a reply to Stuessy
Phylogenetic nomenclature (e.g., de Queiroz & Gauthier, 1990, 1992, 1994; Camino & de Queiroz, 2000) is an alternative to the traditional system of nomenclature described in the bacteriological, botanical, and zoological codes (e.g., Sneath, 1992; Ride & al., 1999; Greater & al., 2000). The most fundamental difference between phylogenetic and traditional nomenclature concerns the manner in whic...
متن کاملPoint of view Misunderstandings about the phylogenetic approach to biological nomenclature: a reply to Lidén and Oxelman
Although adoption of an explicitly phylogenetic perspective has had profound effects on both methods of systematic analysis (e.g., synapomorphy) and concepts of taxa (e.g., monophyly), it has, until recently, had little effect on the principles and rules of biological nomenclature. This situation is now changing as several authors have started to develop and put into use a system of nomenclatur...
