Predictors of taxonomic splitting and its role in primate conservation

2021-09-11

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Species are the main unit used to measure biodiversity, but different preferred diagnostic criteria can lead to very different delineations. For instance, named primate species have more than doubled in number since 1982. Such increases have been attributed to a shift away from the ‘biological species concept’ (BSC) in favour of less inclusive species criteria. Critics of recent changes in prima...
