{"product_id":"advent-of-phylocode-hardback","title":"Advent of PhyloCode - Hardback","description":"\u003cp\u003eBiological nomenclature is an essential tool for storing and retrieving biological information. Yet traditional nomenclature poorly reflects evolutionary theory. Current biological nomenclature is one of the few fields promoting deliberately vague usage of technical terms. A new code based on evolutionary studies and phylogenetic results (the PhyloCode) will be a major milestone in biological nomenclature. Unfortunately, The PhyloCode and the companion volume are highly technical publications intended for practicing systematists. This book will reach a broader readership of those using nomenclature but who remain unaware of its theoretical foundations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKey Features\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eResponds to the biodiversity crisis and the recent implementation of the PhyloCode\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSummarizes the spectacular progress of phylogenetics which makes it both increasingly easy and crucially important to define precisely taxon names\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides a 300-year historical perspective featuring high-profile characters, such as Linnaeus and Darwin\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSummarizes for a broad readership a widely scattered, highly technical and underappreciated scientific literature\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDocuments the activities of the International Society for Phylogenetic Nomenclature, a scholarly society in which the author has played a prominent role\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45601130840302,"sku":"9780367552886","price":164.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/advent-of-phylocode-hardback","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
