Despite the widely held belief that modem biological taxonomy is evolutionary, some of the most fundamental concepts and principles in the current system of biological nomenclature are based on a nonevolutionary convention that pre-dates widespread acceptance of an evolutionary world view by more than a century. The development of a phylogenetic system of nomenclature requires reformulating the...
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 کامل"Numerical ranks"to improve biological nomenclature of higher groups
Simple method to improve traditional approaches to name taxa of higher ranks has been proposed. Instead of base name + postfixes (which vary between codes of nomenclature and sometimes not standardized at all), use numerical prefixes, where numbers designate the rank of taxon, from lowest (species = 1) to highest (kingdom = 7). This “numerical ranks” method is not only more simple and straightf...
متن کاملOn Rickettsia Nomenclature
his issue of Emerging Infectious Diseases contains 2 independent reports of Rickettsia sibirica infections in Spain and Portugal. The authors identify the agent both as a subspecies (1) and as a strain (2). This inconsistency refl ects a lack of consensus regarding the use of subspe-cies designations for Rickettsia taxa, so appropriate designation of these pathogens as strains or subspecies rem...
