On Words, Tests, and Applications: Reply to Faith et al
نویسندگان
چکیده
Faith et al. (2003) strongly criticize our paper (Posadas et al. 2001). Their criticisms are based on what they consider our “ill definitions” and “erroneous applications” of the words complementarity, endemism, and biodiversity. The objectives of our reply to Faith et al. are to demonstrate that their criticisms do not satisfy epistemological and methodological tenets and to compare some aspects of the methods used by Posadas et al. (2001) and Faith et al. (2003) when applied to a real case.
