[Taxacom] Subspecies in insect species

[Kenneth Kinman]

Hi All,
      Barna Páll-Gergely sent me the weblink below to his paper on subspecies in invertebrates.  It is quite interesting.  Note that the abstract states that researchers "should maintain and use the rank subspecies in order to provide a stronger status for the species rank, and avoid taxonomic inflation."   I agree.

Subject: Subspecies in insect species

Dear Colleagues,

Please see my fresh paper on the subspecies topic (not only about snails, we discussed insects as well).
I'm sorry I don't know how to respond to  a question in Taxacom, so I decided to write you.
Here is the paper:

Best wishes: Barna
