"This book suggests an in-depth look at nomenclature in systematics instead of providing another ""instruction for use"" of various Codes of nomenclature. The focus is on ideas of what taxonomic nomenclature is as a part of the professional language of systematics considered in its full historical and conceptual scope. Basic concepts of nomenclature are outlined, and their development characterized; a hierarchy of fundamental principles of nomenclature are summarized; and the relationship between taxonomic nomenclature and taxonomic theory discussed. This book is addressed to those who would like to go beyond the boundaries of existing Codes to look at the subject from a more general, mostly theoretical standpoint.

Key Features

• Provides a review of the role of nomenclature in systematics

• Reviews the conceptual scope and historical contexts of nomenclature

• Analyzes fundamental principles of nomenclature

• Outlines the historical development of nomenclature
