Practical applications for systematics and taxonomy in North American freshwater gastropod conservation

摘要: AbstractThe roles of systematics in the field conservation biology are well understood and accepted for many organisms. However, role taxonomy has not been reviewed context species protection management freshwater gastropods. We provide a thorough review relevant theoretical literature illustrate with recent examples delineation North American gastropods that these fields play key practical designation units. summarize some aspects can confound taxonomic efforts. Based on our review, we recommend effective plans include systematic research necessary to recognize unique organismal lineages as primary This strategy must be combined consistent rigorous nomenclature, taxonomy, dissemination findings so all pa...
