| There are probably as many bird phylogenies as there are avian taxonomists. |
|
| Insect taxonomists, describing the cosmopolitans, have carefully spelled out their breeding sites. |
|
| It is true that most taxonomists and conservationists work on shoestring budgets. |
|
| So far taxonomists have identified less than two million distinct species, mostly mammals and birds, such as this crowned crane of East Africa. |
|
| The dartfishes have been taxonomically mobile in recent years and some taxonomists now include them in the wormfish family. |
|
| The Canada Goose is a highly variable species which has long caused headaches for taxonomists. |
|
| But taxonomists rarely actually test interbreeding with live animals or plants to see if they could actually produce healthy, fertile offspring. |
|
| It is an essential tool for taxonomists, pointing them to the species found in our waters and then suggesting pertinent taxonomic references. |
|
| When taxonomists separate populations into different species, they look at the genetic divergence between them. |
|
| Census taxonomists who study zooplankton, for example, were given a unique opportunity to take the identification process to sea. |
|
| Charles Darwin divided taxonomists into lumpers and splitters. |
|
| At the Museum, the samples are more finely sorted in order to allow the international network of taxonomists to mobilise. |
|
| For mushroom growers, the most practical approach to the subject of taxonomy is to rely on taxonomists. |
|
| Furthermore, we took advantage of the expertise of over sixty taxonomists from around the world to validate the information in the catalogue. |
|
| Later taxonomists proved less welcoming, however, and the chimp was reclassified in 1816 into its own genus, Pan, where it has remained until this day. |
|
| The new system means that museum staff can set up the microscope on request to let taxonomists look at the specimen over the web. |
|
| However, the international group of taxonomists working under the auspices of EPPO was satisfied that X. californicum is a good species. |
|
| Indeed, the lack of taxonomists was identified as being one of the main problems that explains the absence of inventories in certain regions. |
|
| Other taxonomists insist that the wild artichoke gave rise to the cultivated cardoon, while still others feel it was the cardoon that begat the artichoke. |
|
| Around 120,000 species of fungi have been described by taxonomists, but the global biodiversity of the fungus kingdom is not fully understood. |
|
|
|
| In 1982 Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden plant taxonomists Donovan and Helen Correll published the latest complete flora for these islands. |
|
| Often taxonomists prefer to use phylogenetic analysis to determine whether a population can be considered a subspecies. |
|
| Neither water molds nor slime molds are closely related to the true fungi, and, therefore, taxonomists no longer group them in the kingdom Fungi. |
|
| The Canadian Museum of Nature's Data Bank of Canadian Systematists holds the names and areas of expertise of over 500 systematists and taxonomists working in Canada. |
|
| Essentially, it is as if we, the practicing taxonomists, are being taken to court: the burden of proof is on the taxonomist, and the proof remains traditional, morphological characters. |
|
| For example, the Treaty acknowledges only implicitly the fact that taxonomists and breeders disagree about what is included within a particular crop gene pool. |
|
| For early detection and control of invasive species, it is essential to have trained and qualified taxonomists to determine which species are alien. |
|
| The presence of botanists, taxonomists or parataxonomists on the teams will enable the collection of information on rare plant and animal species restricted to specific sites. |
|
| The development of taxonomists and taxonomic resources is an essential component in providing a baseline on native species and in the correct identification of pests. |
|
| For instance, publicly funded taxonomists could train local staff to make more complete inventories, and biologists could contribute to the design of appropriate solutions to conserve specific fauna and flora species. |
|
| An international group of taxonomists, under the auspices of EPPO, is currently making a morphological study of the species complex to try to clarify the relationships within it. |
|
| There is a need to train more taxonomists and ecologists, to establish and maintain biodiversity databases, and to establish and better care for reference collections. |
|
| For example, British ichthyologist Peter L. Forey, one of the principal elopomorph taxonomists, and coworkers classify the anguilliforms and saccopharyngiforms together in an expanded Angulliformes. |
|
| The bottom line is that the author is condemning conservationists, but pointing the proverbial finger at the taxonomists the entire time, for no discernable reason. |
|
| Subdivide the African population, as some taxonomists propose, and perceptions of scarcity may shift. The trouble is that the idea of what defines a species is a lot more slippery than you might think. |
|
| If these species are not defined by interfertility, which obviously they are not, are they real, or just the convenient conventions of taxonomists? |
|
| To date, biologists and taxonomists have identified 1.7 million species through traditional methods such as capturing and mounting specimens or drawing, photographing and describing them. |
|
| Once they have been sorted, the samples will be sent to a large panel of taxonomists, who will carry out morphological characterisation and identification. |
|
| Biologists and taxonomists have made many attempts to define species, beginning from morphology and moving towards genetics. |
|
| At various times in the past, taxonomists included many species in the genus Gadus. |
|
|
|
| The classification of the clymene dolphin has long been a challenge to taxonomists, who initially considered the clymene to be a subspecies of the spinner dolphin. |
|
| So far, taxonomists have described roughly 297,500 plant species. |
|
| The bad news is that phylogeny production is overwhelming the few avian taxonomists with the training and desire to produce modern classifications. |
|
| Taxonomists are interested in them as well because the rate of new species discovery is proportionally high relative to that of other fish trematode groups. |
