商品描述

The Hierarchies in Biological Systematics: A Conceptual Perspective examines the diverse hierarchies shaping the field of biology. From the overarching cognitive frameworks to the specific classifications that define biological taxonomy, this book is a comprehensive analysis of hierarchical structures and their inherent complexities.

Through a conceptual lens, the author explores the fundamental parameters of hierarchies, their fuzziness, and the principles guiding their substantiation, elaboration, and implementation. The book also delves into the ongoing debate between ranked and rankless taxonomic hierarchies, highlighting the author's view of the unique rationality of ranked systems while critically assessing their limitations.

Whether you are a researcher, student, or professional in biological systematics, this book offers valuable insights into the conceptual underpinnings of hierarchical classifications and their role in advancing scientific understanding.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

《生物系統學中的階層:概念視角》探討了塑造生物學領域的多樣階層。從總體的認知框架到定義生物分類學的具體分類,本書對階層結構及其固有的複雜性進行了全面的分析。

透過概念的視角,作者探討了階層的基本參數、其模糊性,以及指導其證實、闡述和實施的原則。本書還深入探討了有序和無序分類階層之間的持續辯論,突顯了作者對有序系統獨特理性的看法,同時批判性地評估其局限性。

無論您是生物系統學的研究者、學生還是專業人士,本書都提供了對階層分類概念基礎及其在推進科學理解中的角色的寶貴見解。

作者簡介

Igor Ya. Pavlinov was, until his retirement in 2018, the leading researcher and the chief of the Mammal Division at the Zoological Museum, Lomonosov Moscow State University. He is still affiliated with the Zoological Museum, where he is a curator of mammals. His doctoral dissertation was Cladistic approach to phylogenetics and systematics: Theoretical foundations of evolutionary cladistics (1997). His principal research interests are in theoretical systematics and phylogenetics, systematics of mammals (mainly rodents), and morphometrics. He is the author of several dozen books on natural history, including Cladistic Analysis: Methodological Issues (1990), Evolution of Life (2001), Systematics of Mammals of the World (2003), Foundations of the Contemporary Phylogenetics (2005), Nomenclature in Systematics (2015) and its successor Taxonomic Nomenclature--What's in a Name: Theory and History (2022), Foundations of Biological Systematics (2018) and its successor Biological Systematics: History and Theory (2021), Mammals of Russia: A Guide (2019), The Species Problem. A Conceptual History (2023), and several books on particular orders and families of mammals.
