A paradigm shift in our view of species drives current trends in biological classification
JM Padial, I De la Riva - Biological Reviews, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Discontent about changes in species classifications has grown in recent years. Many of
these changes are seen as arbitrary, stemming from unjustified conceptual and …
