Phylonyms is an implementation of the PhyloCode, which is a set of principles, rules, and recommendations governing phylogenetic nomenclature - a system for naming taxa by explicit reference to phylogeny. In contrast, the current botanical, zoological, and bacteriological codes name taxa by reference to taxonomic ranks (e.g., family, genus) and types. This volume includes nearly 300 clades/accounts, drafted by experts, and establishes nomenclatural precedence for many PhyloCode-based names. Phylonyms is meant to provide a foundation for the future use of a naming system grounded in explicit phylogenetic hypotheses.
