Hey guys, what is this with the adversarial subject line? Are these two (C&B & IOC) in conflict, as suggested by the “vs”? Aren’t we discussing a comparison? Surely it should be “C&B cf IOC taxonomy”, rather than “C&B vs IOC taxonomy”.
Oh and another very minor point, I for one am reasonably interested in processes of speciation and how we assess the degree of separation between populations, at this point in history and where we set a arbitrary boundary of differentiating separate forms as species. So I think of those discussions as interesting. Yet whilst I respect other’s wishing to care but sorry but I don’t care how these things impact on individual’s tallies on tick lists. I wonder if I am alone on this.
