20.500.12556/DiRROS-19332 Improving taxonomic practices and enhancing its extensibility—an example from araneology Planetary extinction of biodiversity underscores the need for taxonomy. Here, we scrutinizespider taxonomy over the last decade (2008–2018), compiling 2083 published accounts of newlydescribed species. We evaluated what type of data were used to delineate species, whether data weremade freely available, whether an explicit species hypothesis was stated, what types of media wereused, the sample sizes, and the degree to which species constructs were integrative. The findings wereport reveal that taxonomy remains largely descriptive, not integrative, and provides no explicitconceptual framework. Less than 4% of accounts explicitly stated a species concept and over one-thirdof all new species described were based on 1–2 specimens or only one sex. Only ~5% of studies madedata freely available, and only ~14% of all newly described species employed more than one line ofevidence, with molecular data used in ~6% of the studies. These same trends have been discovered inother animal groups, and therefore we find it logical that taxonomists face an uphill challenge whenjustifying the scientific rigor of their field and securing the needed resources. To move taxonomyforward, we make recommendations that, if implemented, will enhance its rigor, repeatability, andscientific standards. taxonomy taxonomic crisis species concepts data management monographic research Araneae taksonomija vrstni koncepti podatkovno upravljanje monografske raziskave biodiverziteta true false true Angleški jezik Latinski jezik Neznano 2024-07-16 03:43:09 2024-07-16 12:12:43 2024-07-17 03:59:12 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2022 0 0 Nasl. z nasl. zaslona; Opis vira z dne 1. 2. 2022; 1-15 str. iss. 1 Vol. 14 2022 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2021-12-23 591 1424-2818 10.3390/d14010005 95806211 https://www.mdpi.com/1424-2818/14/1/5/htm 1 c2b5ce4d-4314-11ef-b487-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=26656 RAZ_Bond_Jason_E._2022.pdf RAZ_Bond_Jason_E._2022.pdf 1 FD5322CBB1D03D0EA39D7BA1CE191DC9 4b939f4fbcd8ea11c1d4f252ddad3c810ce37c2d2d7edf790d0bbb6eb795f0b9 17b8edcd-434c-11ef-b487-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=26703 Nacionalni inštitut za biologijo 0 0 0
