Anopla/Enopla and changes in higher rank taxonomy

edit

I am a researcher working with systematics, taxonomy, biodiversity, and I work mainly with marine invertebrates with special research interest in the group Nemertea. At the last conference on nemertean biology in August 2018 a proposal of dismissing the higher ranks Anopla and Enopla was written, resulting in the current taxonomic status visible in WoRMS - the world register of marine species:

http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=152391

The publication with the proposal is named "Nemertean taxonomy-Implementing changes in the higher ranks, dismissing Anopla and Enopla" and was published in Zoologica Scripta (Vol. 48, nr 1, s. 118-119, [1]) in agreement with a number of 30+ researchers associated to the group Nemertea. I would like this information to reach wikipedia in a way that makes sense also with regard to the taxonomic history. Therefore, I suggest a change in taxonomy in wikipedia so that it reflects the taxonomy in WoRMS, and that we add information about the taxonomic changes to the pages Anopla and Enopla.Malin Strand (SLU) (talk) 15:49, 26 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

I've implemented the revised taxonomy for Nemertea as presented on WoRMS, moving the families to the appropriate higher taxa. Unfortunately, pages such as this have few if any watchers and it's best to ask questions at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Animals. In the unlikely event you see this message, we do appreciate input from experts. The WP:COI rules were written to avoid people writing about themselves or their organisations, rather than to discourage experts.  —  Jts1882 | talk  15:55, 28 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
