Greetings,
I just posted a revised version of the PhyloCode. It differs from
the Oct. 2003 version (which is still available on the web site in
PDF and MS-Word format) in the following ways:
Two references were added to the Preface (Mishler 1999, Pleijel and
Rouse 2003).
The definition of clade (Art 2.1, glossary) was modified slightly.
A new Note 4.2.1 was added (concerning peer review).
Important: Several changes were made in the recommended wordings of
definitions and standard abbreviations in Note 9.4.1.
Recommendation 9.4A was reworded.
A new Art. 9.5 was added (the meaning of "extant" in crown clade definitions).
A new Art. 9.8 was added (use of complex apomorphy as a specifier).
Rec. 9E was expanded to cover the citation of an apomorphy in a
qualifying clause.
A new Rec. 9F was added (use of a complex apormorphy as a specifier).
A new Note 11.5A.1 was added to clarify that the reference to naming
species in Rec. 11.5A concerns naming them under the rank-based codes.
Slight rewording of Art. 11.8.
A parenthetical comment was added at the end of Art. 11.9, Example 1
(concerning a complex apomorphy).
Several changes were made in Rec. 11C. The reference to form genera
was replaced by morphotaxa as a result of the abandonment of the form
genus concept in the ICBN. There are several other minor changes in
this recommendation.
There is a small change in Rec. 11D (addition of a reference to Rec. 11A).
There are several changes that make it possible to use an apostrophe
as an optional pronunciation aid after the establishment of a name
(but clarifying that the apostrophe is not part of the orthography):
rewording of 17.1, deletion of 17.1.1 and old 17.2, addition of Note
18.1.2, and deletion of 18.7.
There is a change in the definition of paraphyletic in the glossary
and a related minor change in the definition of monophyletic.
There is a change in the definition of synapomorphy in the glossary.
Various corrections in html version of Appendix A (it was already
correct in the Word and PDF versions).
Various typos and formatting errors were corrected.
------------------------------------------------------------
Various people contributed to these modifications, but
special thanks go to David Marjanovic and Michel Laurin for their
meticulous reading of the October version and many good suggestions
for improvement.
Happy holidays everyone.
Phil
