I will stop writing as much on this list and more on environmental
informatics but I do believe that one will find the biodiversity indicator
issue (loss or gain) to be a Taxonomic issue. As I indicated I do not
think the necessity of naming will be the technical issue for that will be
the means to mine the data. I do not understand what Croizat meant to do
with "New Systematics" but you all will have to wait till I compose on
Croizat's X in Taxogeny for now I tend to limit my thinking to only two
genera while attempting to address everything.BSM. I am close to concluding
that the term "environmental resistence" or "environmental pressure" does
not exist and is a throw forward (not 'throwback') from the industrial not
the information revolution"". ::
