How many taxonomists are there?
Essential Reading.
There is only a limited number of papers and reports that give information on the status and development of the taxonomic capacities, especially the human capacities. Our working database with 350 contributions on taxonomy, DNA-Taxonomy, Barcoding and cases studies will soon be online. The data base include abstracts and links to online sources.
The whole issue 1444 of volume 359 of the “Philosophical Transactions: Biological Sciences” is devoted to taxonomy and its sattus and development.
