[Taxacom] DEST - Training course on Biological Nomenclature (Paris, 28 May - 1 June 2012)

[Hendrik Gheerardyn]

Dear all, 
 
The
Distributed European School of Taxonomy is offering a five day training course
on BIOLOGICAL NOMENCLATURE at the MNHN in Paris. This training will provide an
overview of the history and epistemology of biological nomenclature, and a
discussion of the relationships between phylogeny, taxonomy and nomenclature.
The zoological and botanical codes will be presented in detail, the other codes
more briefly. Recent problems and projects of nomenclature, including
alternative systems, will be discussed. The training will combine lectures with
practical exercises on zoological and botanical nomenclature and on
transforming phylogenetic data into a taxonomy and a nomenclature.
