[Taxacom] Diagnosing species

[Bob Mesibov]

That "Diagnosing species" steam-venting post was prompted by reading an 
inspiring preprint from Richard Zander:

Zander, R. 2007? When biodiversity study and systematics diverge. 
Biodiversity.

and two highly recommendable papers by the Austrian botanist Elvira 
Hoerandl:

Hoerandl, E. 2006. Paraphyletic vs monophyletic taxa - evolutionary vs 
cladistic classifications. Taxon 55(3): 564-570.
Hoerandl, E. 2007. Neglecting evolution is bad taxonomy. Taxon 56(1): 1-5.
