Nomenclatural instability and society

[Nicolas Bailly]

Dear Taxacomers,

Have you got some references about the impact of nomenclatural instability
on the users from the whole society (lawyers, customs, etc.) ?

=46or example, in a recent issue of Fisheries, there is a plea to work on
mollusk phylogeny to improve the management.

But I have not found a real example with data on the impact for laws or
else of a scientific name change.

Thanks a lot for help.
