How many species in the Southern Ocean? Towards a dynamic inventory of the Antarctic marine species (2011, background): “Among other aspects of the taxonomic impediment, the present rate of description of new taxa is far too slow, and only an extremely sound approach will allow tackling the magnitude of the task (see Wheeler, 2008b).”
Undisciplined thinking: morphology and Hennig’s unfinished revolution (2008, methodology): “I strongly urge that, as taxonomy progresses into its next stage, what we might call the ‘New Taxonomy’ (Wheeler, 2008c) or ‘Cyber-Enabled Taxonomy’, that we use the emerging cyber-infrastructure to re-establish vibrant supplies of diverse data, especially morphology.”
Mapping the biosphere: exploring species to understand the origin, organization and sustainability of biodiversity (2012, background): “Such publications, whether electronic or printed on demand, would amount to monographs that never go out of date and include keys, checklists, maps and descriptions that include all the latest advances in information and understanding (Wheeler, 2008).”
