RAOU
SWITCHES TO PHYLOGENETIC SPECIES CONCEPT.
The RAOU in a major reversal of
previous standards has scrapped its Advice to Contributors that nomenclature
should follow Christidis & Boles (1994) and switched to the PSC. You may
now read of the Campbell Albatross and meet the genus Thalassarche
in the pages of EMU.
Can standards plummet any lower (and Clive
Minton described as an amatuer!).
