taxonomy Review

Abstract

This book of 261 pages was published on 27 June 2025, only one year after a symposium held at the Systematics Association biennial meeting on the University of Reading campus, England, where nine of the 14 book chapters were performed as oral presentations. The scientific program of the Reading Meeting included three symposia: besides “State and theory of New Taxonomy”, from which the book under review emerged, “New perspectives on the Tree of Life”, and “New gatekeepers of taxonomy: acceleration of taxonomy and influence of Big Data and Artificial Intelligence”, with the two first-mentioned symposia held simultaneously.
