Diversity, Nomenclature, and Taxonomy of Protists
Abstract
The new classification of protists from the International Society of Protistologists (Adl et al., 2005) could not apply both the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature and the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature because the two are incompatible. The classification designated one name for each clade where multiple names from different codes had previously existed, traced authorities, and provided a classification based on nameless ranks. Here we review important issues that remain to be resolved. Current rules governing validation of new species, from various codes of nomenclature, have become an impediment to naming of new protists. Standard requirements for protist species descriptions and type specimens need to be modernized to accommodate the rapid discovery of new species made possible by modern microscopic and molecular techniques. Although we agree with the criticisms of the botanical and zoological codes made by proponents of the Phylocode, we did not all agree that the current Phylocode is the solution, nor does it currently address species typification. Accordingly, new guidelines are needed to govern standards in protist species descriptions and classification.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
