Taxonomy: For all marine species, Project Gastropods uses the taxonomy in the online database WoRMS. When starting a new article, do not use sources of taxonomic information that predate the 2017 revision for all gastropod groups ("Revised Classification, Nomenclator and Typification of Gastropod and Monoplacophoran Families" by Philippe Bouchet & Jean-Pierre Rocroi, Bernhard Hausdorf, Andrzej Kaim, Yasunori Kano, Alexander Nützel, Pavel Parkhaev, Michael Schrödl and Ellen E. Strong in Malacologia, 2017, 61(1–2): 1–526.) (can be dowloaded at Researchgate.net), substituting the previous classification of 2005 Taxonomy of the Gastropoda (Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005). If you need help with any aspect of an article, please leave a note at the Project talk page.

Ranked taxon (Order-level) edit

Latest comment: 12 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

According to this [1] site run by the University of Michigan, this is an order, not an unranked taxon as we now have it on Wiki. This must be changed not only here but on all TaxoBox links to this Article. The Mysterious El Willstro (talk) 20:38, 18 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

As it says quite clearly on the template on the top of this page, in the Gastropods Project we are using the taxonomy of Bouchet & Rocroi (2005), the most up-to-date overall system for classifying gastropods and the only one that is based to a large extent on molecular research (DNA and RNA) rather than just morphology. Stylommatophora is treated as a clade by B&R. We cannot piece together different chunks of taxonomy from various sources; we have to stick to one system.
