Taxacom: geographic boundaries

[John Grehan]

Just a note on another case of geographic politics which in this case
caught me by surprise. I was using a map that has what was, for me, pretty
standard country boundaries, but one of my co-authors informed me that if
those boundaries were used it would create an impossible situation for
them. We found a way out by just removing all political boundaries from the
map. At least in this case there was a viable option, but it just goes to
show how easily politics can throw up a tripwire for taxonomy. I have
deliberately not been specific about the details.

Cheers, John Grehan
