The PhyloCode is a set of principles, rules, and recommendations governing phylogenetic nomenclature, a system for naming taxa by explicit reference to phylogeny. In contrast, the current botanical, zoological, and bacteriological codes define taxa by reference to taxonomic ranks (e.g., family, genus) and types. This code will govern the names of clades; species names will still be governed by traditional codes. The PhyloCode is designed so that it can be used concurrently with the rank-based codes. It is not meant to replace existing names but to provide an alternative system for governing the application of both existing and newly proposed names.Key FeaturesProvides clear regulations for naming cladesBased on expressly phylogenetic principlesComplements existing codes of nomenclatureEliminates the reliance on taxonomic ranks in favor of phylogenetic relationshipsRelated Titles:Laurin, M.

Phylonyms is an implementation of PhyloCode, which is a set of principles, rules, and recommendations governing phylogenetic nomenclature. Nearly 300 clades - lineages of organisms - are defined by reference to hypotheses of phylogenetic history rather than by taxonomic ranks and types. This volume will document the Real World uses of PhyloCode and will govern and apply to the names of clades, while species names will still be governed by traditional codes.Key FeaturesProvides clear regulations for implementing new guidelines for naming lineages of organismsincorporates expressly evolutionary and phylogenetic principlesWorks with existing codes of nomenclatureEliminates the reliance on rank-based classification in favor of phylogenetic relationshipsRelated Titles:Laurin, M.
