Default Re: Time to do some relearning/forgetting names...

They don't really make an argument against Grant's taxonomy. If you look at their phylogram (S3) it is pretty much identical to the one in Grant's paper. Seeing as how Grant's taxonomy makes so much sense in practical terms, and is based on strong phylogenetic data, I don't see how this paper would make us change back. It is more about the pattern and timeline of speciation and less about taxonomy.

I say let's keep Grant's taxonomy.
