• W2341175010 abstract "Linnean Taxonomy has been ripped from its philosophical foundations, plastered with additional conventions and moulded to serve a variety of functions. Little remains of its original formulation and even that which does has been criticized for being unsuitable for classifying an evolving biota. The chief target for attack is the Linnean rank (Genus, Family, Order etc.). Here, I argue that, while most ranks cannot be defended, the genus and species should be retained as the binomial. This is for practical reasons. Genera are recognized by discrete characters whereas species rarely are. Different workers have very different ideas of species, both theoretically and in recognition criteria. In naming the world our efforts will be more fully rewarded if we concentrate on compiling lists of genera as a proxy for biodiversity estimates. Carl Linnaeus (1707–1778) laid the foundations of our current systems of taxonomy which are now administered through the various international codes of nomenclature. Nowadays, we accept that it is a system much modified from that which he set up, and some (de Queiroz 1992; Ereshevsky 2001) would say it has outlived its usefulness and deserves to be replaced. So, in answering this question posed by the above title most people would probably agree that the only thing left of Linnaeus is his skeleton, lying beneath an inscribed slab in Uppsala Cathedral. We no longer share Linnaeus’ belief that all of biodiversity was specially created on an island called Paradise, located somewhere in the Indian Ocean. We no longer believe that there is a fixed number of animals and plants. We no longer believe that order in the natural world can be reflected using essentialism and the principles of logical subdivision, and we question many of Linnaeus’ practical methods for classifying life, especially the use of ranks (Class, Order, Family, etc.) and the monothetic recognition of groups (groups recognized on the variation of a single feature). Yet, I suggest that there are some elements of the system of taxonomy and nomenclature started by Linnaeus (here called Linnean Taxonomy) that we need to maintain in order to provide effective communication about relationships between organisms, to meaningfully discuss patterns of biodiversity, and in order to be effective in bringing our taxonomic conclusions to as wide an audience as possible. I use the phrase Linnean Taxonomy, rather than refer directly to Linnaeus because many aspects of Linnean Taxonomy are modifications of those proposed by Linnaeus himself." @default.
