21世纪的分类学“Taxonomy for the twenty-first century”
2004年9月，在英国皇家协会的Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society Biological Sciences特别专刊上发表了一系列有关分类学研究现况和将来的综述文章。Allen Herre推荐这期的文章是极其有用的资源，它告诉我们什么是分类学以及他将来的发展趋势。 如下是这期专刊上文章的列表：

“DNA barcoding of life” the 29 October 2005 issue of Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society Biological Sciences is devoted to papers presented at the First International Barcode Conference held at The Natural History Museum, London, 7-9 February 2005, a gathering that included 220 participants from 44 countries. By special arrangement with The Royal Society, this issue is available to members and visitors to the Consortium of the Barcode of Life site.
