[Taxacom] Integrative taxonomy

[Nadia Talent]

Dear Arélien,

I'm very sorry to say, that as a botanist I find it extremely difficult to read further than the statement: "Since the advent of Linnaean nomenclature in 1758, taxonomists have been describing and naming thousands of species every year". 1753 is the date of Species Plantarum.

Best regards,
Nadia Talent
