I am editing a paper utilizing the term "neospecies". I am interested in
how those here define and thus apply this term to a give taxon. Is this a
new species (of recent evolutional origin), a pseudo species (not yet a
species), or what. If there is some standardized definition of this I'd
like to know. My concern is that different readers will take this to mean
different things. The authors apply this to a full species that may have
originated from a "recent" past hybridization.
