传统命名法和系统发育命名法的比较

综述了传统的生物命名法和系统发育命名法。在系统发育命名法下，不需要等级，分类群的名称将根据血统给出定义。目前提出的系统发育命名法不仅与林奈的等级制度有冲突，而且与命名类型的概念也有冲突。虽然系统发育方法可以增加名称应用的明确性和普遍性，但它可能以牺牲一个给定名称所代表的分类单元的分类灵活性和边界稳定性为代价。就如何设计一套命名法以适应这两种制度提出了建议。
The traditional method of biological nomenclature and the phylogenetic nomenclature method are reviewed. Under a phylogenetic nomenclature, ranks would not be required, and names of taxa would be given definitions based on descent. The phylogenetic nomenclature method, as currently proposed, would be in conflict, not only with the Linnaean hierarchy, but also with the notion of nomenclatural types. While the phylogenetic method would increase explicitness and universality regarding the application of names, it may do so at the expense of taxonomic flexibility and circumscriptional stability of a taxon represented by a given name. Suggestions are provided on how a code of nomenclature could be designed so as to accommodate both systems.
