  Pickett, K. M. 2005. The new and improved PhyloCode, now with types=
,
ranks,
    and even polyphyly: a conference report from the First Internatio=
nal
    Phylogenetic Nomenclature Meeting. _Cladistics_ 21(1): [posted on=
line
    before print, no page numbers] (doi:10.1111/j.1096-0031.2004.0004=
8.x)

Abstract:
  "A report from the first International Phylogenetic Nomenclature Me=
eting
is
   presented. The meeting revealed that the PhyloCode, once implement=
ed,
will
   itself not require adherence to the three major tenets of philosop=
hy
that
   proponents have claimed required its creation. These include the
   abandonment of (1) non-monophyletic taxa, (2) ranks, and (3) types=
."

  Cheers,

Jaime A. Headden

  Little steps are often the hardest to take.  We are too used to mak=
ing leaps in the face of adversity, that a simple skip is so hard to =
do.  We should all learn to walk soft, walk small, see the world arou=
nd us rather than zoom by it.
