I appreciate Mariappan and Balasundaram for taking a lead in highlighting flaws in taxonomical literature which have not only led to wrong scientific interpretations, but also monetary loss. Mistakes of this kind are a result of poor knowledge on the subject, because of which we are unable to estimate how many species of animals and plants exist today.

Abstract


I appreciate Mariappan and Balasundaram for taking a lead in highlighting flaws in taxonomical literature which have not only led to wrong scientific interpretations, but also monetary loss. Mistakes of this kind are a result of poor knowledge on the subject, because of which we are unable to estimate how many species of animals and plants exist today.
