Please forgive the bulk of papers I have selected for discussion. The large phylogeny papers are simply examples of implementing Phylogenetic Nomeclature, so focus only on the taxonomy and not the phylogenetics. There are two short papers that present two sides of a relatively recent PhyloCode debate, which may form the bulk of our discussion, so please focus on them. I have uploaded the bundle of pdfs to the Drop Box, in a zip file:

+
====Summary of papers====
+
 
+
Read these papers in their entirety:
+
* Pickett, K. M. 2005. The new and improved PhyloCode, now with types, ranks, and even polyphyly: a conference report from the First International Phylogenetic Nomenclature Meeting. ''Cladistics'' 21: 79-82.
+
* Laurin, M., K. de Queiroz, P. Cantino, N. Cellinese, and R. Olmstead. 2005. The PhyloCode, types, ranks and monophyly: a response to Pickett. ''Cladistics'' 21: 605-607.
+
Example of higher-level taxa (unranked, of course) in plants [the first paper is the phylogenetic taxonomy, and the second gives the complete phylogeny]:
+
* Stefanovic, S., D. F. Austin, and R. G. Olmstead. 2003. Classification of Convolvulaceae: A phylogenetic approach. ''Systematic Botany'' 28: 791-806.
+
* Stefanovic, S., L. Krueger, and R. G. Olmstead. 2002. Monophyly of the Convolvulaceae and circumscription of their major lineages based on DNA sequences of multiple chloroplast loci. ''American Journal of Botany'' 89: 1510-1522.
+
Example of an "''incertae sedis''" animal species:
+
* Dayrat, B. 2005. Advantages of naming species under the PhyloCode : An example of how a new species of Discodorididae (Mollusca , Gastropoda , Euthyneura , Nudibranchia , Doridina ) may be named. ''Marine Biology Research'' 1: 216-232.
+
 
+
In the interest of conservation, please avoid printing the phylogenetics papers unless you'll want them later; we'll have enough laptops to share phylogeny images at the meeting.
