Abstract:
With this inaugural issue, the International Society for Phylogenetic Nomenclature (ISPN) is launching its new journal, the Bulletin of Phylogenetic Nomenclature (BPN). The inauguration of the Bulletin of Phylogenetic Nomenclature marks another important stage in the development of a phylogenetic approach to nomenclature for the general taxonomic reference system of biology, and it is the hope of the ISPN that this journal will help to facilitate and promote the adoption of that approach.
