The new and improved PhyloCode, now with types, ranks, and even polyphyly: A conference report from the First International Phylogenetic Nomenclature Meeting

Abstract

A report from the first International Phylogenetic Nomenclature Meeting is presented. The meeting revealed that the PhyloCode, once implemented, will itself not require adherence to the three major tenets of philosophy that proponents have claimed required its creation. These include the abandonment of (1) non-monophyletic taxa, (2) ranks, and (3) types. © The Willi Hennig Society 2005.
