Re: [ECOLOG-L] errors in ecology due to bad taxonomy

I am surprised that no one has mentioned the problems caused by good taxonomy. I don't do much work on the species level, but from time to time a species I have worked on gets reclassified and this can lead to real confusion. Fortunately search engines seems to be able to cope with this -- I

Re: [ECOLOG-L] errors in ecology due to bad taxonomy

Why limit it to systematics? Universities are increasingly being less dominated by animal and plant ecologists and zoologists/botanists and increasingly replaced by those who study systems, processes, and big-picture events. The problem is that it is just as important to recognize the big picture

Re: [ECOLOG-L] errors in ecology due to bad taxonomy

It takes a fuzzy mind, to sing a fuzzy song . . . . . . as the old country song might be adapted here . . . Good taxonomy first led us to Leymus, then to Elymus, then back to Leymus. I've never looked this up, but (puff, puff) continue to preserve and propagate as much confusion as I can by
