Thus, as a fish species extends its depth range, it also acquires a broader taxonomic range of endoparasites.
The measures of taxonomic distinctness used here provide a summary of this structure, and they suggest possible evolutionary scenarios.
Rarity was also evenly distributed among taxonomic units.
Flower visitors were grouped on the basis of their body size and taxonomic position.
Unimodal distributions were more common than monotonic decline, and independent of region, scale and taxonomic level.
The purpose was rather to provide the linguistics with a very refined, general purpose, linguistically motivated source of taxonomic knowledge.

If the purpose of taxonomic ranking is to assess whether there are differences in an evolutionary pattern between taxa, it is essential to be consistent.
For one thing, our taxonomic considerations have shown that the nature of collectives is not easy to pin down.
Which is in essence how taxonomic autobiography could work, a process of witnessing which names the subject into objective being.
