Taxinomistae: Species in Periculo
"Taxinomistae: Species in Periculo"
"Taxonomists: An Endangered Species"
Wah:
Taxonomists: an endangered species
But:
Mourning the loss of taxonomy is a useless endeavor, like writing posts on the demise of the glass Coke bottle. Taxonomy will wane, even with the stimulus of molecular data, and few people will go into biology with the aim of identifying and classifying the diversity of life. In the long run, that will severely hurt not just evolutionary biology, but biology as a whole. For just as nothing makes sense except in the light of evolution, so nothing in evolution makes sense except in the light of taxonomy.
YAY!
