Abstract

Commentary is provided on the use of barcoding and metabarcoding in diatom studies and its broader relevance to the principles of taxonomy. The claims that taxonomy, however it is performed, is time-consuming and that it requires extensive expertise, due to a constantly evolving taxonomy, are questioned as good, even useful, criteria by which to judge a science.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Phycology was founded in 1965 by the Phycological Society of America. All aspects of basic and applied research on algae are included to provide a common medium for the ecologist, physiologist, cell biologist, molecular biologist, morphologist, oceanographer, taxonomist, geneticist, and biochemist. The Journal also welcomes research that emphasizes algal interactions with other organisms and the roles of algae as components of natural ecosystems.
