Sherborn: Knapp - New workflows for "gold-standard" taxonomy

New workflows for “gold-standard” taxonomy

What is a monograph?
mono – single
graph – writing
One place where all the sum total of knowledge of a topic is presented
“a single document that forms a complete text in itself”

Phylogeny after Weese & Bohs, 2007 Americas Eurasia Australia Africa Global 100% support Leptostemonum clade Brevantherum clade Geminata clade Cyphomandra clade Wendlandii/Allophyllum clade Dulcamaroid clade Morelloid clade Potato clade African non-spiny clade Normania clade Archaesolanum clade Regmandra clade Thelopodium clade Lycianthes Capsicum Jaltomata Witheringia Physalis

Elements we need to do….
Nomenclature (what names are accepted, which are synonyms)
Typification
Description (synthesis of morphology)
Identification of specimens to illustrate concept
??

Other “essential” elements…
Specimens in database (or cited)
Distributions (maps)
Illustrations (types, drawings, photos?)
Molecular data
Phylogenetics
Protologues
