Taxacom: On species diagnoses and DNA-based descriptions in taxonomic practice

[Thomas Pape]

A paper of broad interest to taxonomists:

Rheindt, F.E. .... Pape, T.  (2023) Tightening the requirements for species diagnoses would help integrate DNA-based descriptions in taxonomic practice. - PLoS Biology 21(8): e3002251. https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdoi.org%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pbio.3002251&data=05%7C01%7Ctaxacom%40lists.ku.edu%7Cb8e2c11849604a8e483a08dba4a1c723%7C3c176536afe643f5b96636feabbe3c1a%7C0%7C0%7C638284787001037848%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=%2BvAWlIv6eNvp%2FAAY%2FraSeiDcawpT2s3qQw5yle073WE%3D&reserved=0

Last sentence goes like this:
"Biologists all over the world should weigh-in now across all the relevant forums, providing the framers of future editions of the Codes with the strongest possible foundation for revising the criteria for Code compliance in the naming of species."
