taxonomists

The ultimate goal of taxonomists is to assist in communicating about organisms via well-informed classification schemes.

For those taxonomists types the taxon in question is here, on a new type of taxon-page.

There are three primary camps in systematics; cladists, pheneticists, and evolutionary taxonomists.

It's a vague concept and the taxonomists who decide whether something is a new species are academics, who are all on the far left.

There is an concept in this video that perfectly encapsulates why taxonomists (in this case those who describe Earth's biodiversity) are so critical, and why their work has the impact it does.

Super-spores from entirely new types of organisms would be spotted by taxonomists.

Much of the faceted search experiences are manually determined by taxonomists.

It isn't an objective fact of the universe, it is itself a human expression, saying as much about the taxonomists as the subject of their taxonomy.

No, the taxonomists don't know any better!

So instead you define a metaobject protocol for each of the various connector types and allow many different implementations of the basic connector types that were identified by the taxonomists.

Don't we have any budding taxonomists here?

The cladists hold that genealogy alone should determine classification and pheneticists contend that similarity over propinquity of descent is the determining criterion while evolutionary taxonomists say that both genealogy and similarity count in classification.

To put the scale of this problem in perspective, last year taxonomists "discovered" 260 new species of freshwater fish alone [2].

Mere human taxonomists can't just "classify" away the fact.

Taxonomists don't have a trademark on "Canis familiaris" but we tend to respect their opinion on what is or isn't a "Canis familiaris".

If someone points to a dingo and tells me "that's a Canis familiaris", I say "it isn't, according to taxonomists" and they told me "who died and made taxonomists the sole authority" I would raise an eyebrow.

Taxonomists need basically a good eye for picking subtle differences in 3D structures and an encyclopedic knowledge of the life forms.

Taxonomists are scientists who can catalogue specimens of animals and plants into species, and argue about what is a species and what is two species.
