 Transformed Cladistics, Taxonomy and Evolution
Philosophers of science, zoologists interested in taxonomy and evolutionary biologists will find this a compelling study of an area of biological thought that has recently been attracting a great deal of attention.
This book examines the relationship between classification and evolutionary theory, with reference to the competing schools of taxonomic thinking.
Through this analysis the author attempts to formulate criteria, of an objective and consistent nature, that can be used to judge competing methodologies and theories without resorting to any particular theoretical standpoint for justification.

Crossocheilus oblongus (Cuvier and Valenciennes, 1842) This is a close relative to Siamese Algae Eater, and it is possible that specimens of this fish are sometimes found in schools of Siamese Algae Eater or "false siamensis".
To those interested in the fine, but admittedly boring details of taxonomy, the genus Crossocheilus differs from Epalzeorhynchus by rhynal lobes (nasal lobes).
The fish is also known as Siamese Flying Fox, and Siamese Fox.

 A Compendium of On-Line Soil Survey Information : Classification
The World Reference Base project is probably the best linga franca, for three reasons: (1) it is intended to cover all soils of the world, (2) it was built with participation from almost all "schools" of classification, and (3) it tries as much as possible to use similar definitions, limits etc. as other systems.
The emphasis is on soil morphology, and a major difference with Soil Taxonomy is that soil climate is not part of the system, except in so far as the effects of climate affect soil properties.
Soil Taxonomy was designed to group soil series in the USA in increasingly-general interpretive groups, whereas World Reference Base and its predecessor FAO Legend were designed to understand and organize world soil geography.

 Nearctica - Evolution - Systematics - A Simple Introduction to Systematics
This component of systematics is sometimes called taxonomy, although systematics and taxonomy are sometimes used equally.
The truth is that the underlying principles used by most evolutionary systematists are basically nearly equivalent to those of the cladist despite the arguments that arose between the two schools.
Systematics deals with the description of biological species, the development of classifications of these species so that information about them may be readily retrieved, and the study of the evolutionary relationships between them.

Griffiths’ attempt to incorporate cladism in HPC theory is at odds with cladism itself.

 Q&L/Musings Guest Essay
Baughman's taxonomy divided American poets among several "schools" which shared little save that their members were contemporary with one another and were writing in the same language (though even that often seemed open to debate).
The Confessional poets of the 1960s-- Robert Lowell, Anne Sexton, Sylvia Plath, W.D. Snodgrass -- remain one of the chief influences on the poets of this generation, though the effects of novelty, in an age of "trash-talk" television, have certainly worn off poets' attempts to shock with the explicitness of their personal revelations.
It is difficult to think of a single poet writing today who is so passionate about the metrical questions addressed by the Black Mountain poets, perhaps because open forms so completely dominate American poetry today that arguing about their validity is a moot point.
