PhyloCode is a set of principles, rules, and recommendations governing phylogenetic nomenclature, a system for naming taxa by explicit reference to phylogeny. In contrast, systems, as embodied in the current botanical, zoological, and bacteriological codes, define taxa by reference to taxonomic ranks (e. g., family, genus) and types. This edition will govern the names of clades, while species names will still be governed by traditional codes. PhyloCode is designed so that it can be used concurrently with the rankbased codes. It is not meant not to replace existing systems but to provide an alternative system for governing the application of both existing and newly proposed namesKey selling features:Provides clear regulations for implementing new guidelines for naming lineages of organismsIncorporates expressly evolutionary and phylogentic principlesWorks with existing codes of nomenclatureEliminates the reliance on rank-based classification in favor of phylogenetic relationships | International Code of Phylogenetic Nomenclature (PhyloCode) by Kevin De Queiroz, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
