[Taxacom] Expressing synonymy as a schematic

[Tony.Rees at csiro.au]

Dear Taxacomers,

Searching for information on a particular taxon name on the web, I happened upon a nice schematic which I thought well expressed the complex taxonomic and nomenclatural history for a species of nematode, Panagrellus redivivus, on p.23 (Figure 2) of the following paper by Ferris, 2009:

http://plpnemweb.ucdavis.edu/nemaplex/FerrisPublications/pdf%20files/165Ferris2009.pdf

(a taxon which has moved through 8 genera and 21 treatments, under a variety of epithets, at last count according to this diagram).

I was thinking that this is a particularly neat method for expressing such changes through time but was also wondering if readers have other suggestions or examples as well.

Regards - Tony
