Phylonyms

<p><em>Phylonyms</em> is an implementation of <i>PhyloCode</i> which is a set of principles rules and recommendations governing phylogenetic nomenclature. Nearly 300 clades - lineages of organisms - are defined by reference to hypotheses of phylogenetic history rather than by taxonomic ranks and types. This volume will document the Real World uses of <i>PhyloCode</i> and will govern and apply to the names of clades while species names will still be governed by traditional codes.</p><p>Key Features</p><ul> <li>Provides clear regulations for implementing new guidelines for naming lineages of organisms</li> </ul><ul> <li>incorporates expressly evolutionary and phylogenetic principles</li> </ul><ul> <li>Works with existing codes of nomenclature</li> </ul><ul> <li>Eliminates the reliance on rank-based classification in favor of phylogenetic relationships</li> </ul><p>Related Titles:</p><p>Laurin M. <i>The Advent of PhyloCode: The Continuing Evolution of Biological Nomenclature </i>(ISBN 9780367552886)</p><p>Rieppel O. <i>Phylogenetic Systematics: Haeckel to Hennig</i> (ISBN 9781498754880)</p><p>Cantino P.
