My historical essay on biological nomenclature, from prehistory to the 21st century, was just published in Zoologica Scripta. It is, to an extent, a condensed version of my book, but it includes a new section, notably on glottochronology. See: doi.org/10.1111/zsc.12…

The direction of the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle (Paris) wants to move many of its collections to Dijon, 2h of train away from Paris. Imagine the impact on collections-based research, curators, etc. Please help prevent this by signing this: chng.it/7J9mPHby9Y
