[Taxacom] Panbiogeography bibliography

[John Grehan]

Karl's comment does raise the interesting question as to whether the
threshold needs to be 50% by other authors, or is it really not that
important? Maybe the diversity of interest in terms of specialization
and regions of activity are the best measure of growth in this science,
or is it the range and quality of publication outlets. Certainly I never
expected criticism for being productive.
