Talk:Reticularia

Reticularia

yes, could you please draft a comment based on my text. Art 1.4 has a priority Certainly! Here's a draft comment you can use to address the issue: Dear Editors, I am writing to address an important issue in the recent publication by Doweld (2022), where it is claimed that the genus Reticularia M‘Coy, 1844 should be rejected as a junior homonym of Reticularia Bulliard, 1788 (Myxogastrea, Fungi) and Reticularia Baumg, 1790 (Fungi). This claim contradicts Article 1.4 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN, 1999), which explicitly states that “zoological nomenclature is independent of other systems of nomenclature in that the name of an animal taxon is not to be rejected merely because it is identical with the name of a taxon that is not animal.” Article 1.1.1 also reinforces this principle. Given the priority of Article 1.4, the generic name Reticularia M‘Coy, 1844 and the family-group name Reticulariidae Waagen, 1883, based on it, should remain valid. The claim made by Doweld (2022) appears to be a misapplication of the ICZN rules. I urge the authors and the editorial team to review this matter and ensure that the correct nomenclatural rules are followed to maintain the integrity and accuracy of the scientific record. Thank you for your attention to this important issue. Sincerely, M.Ghobadi Pour 2A00:23C8:498F:2201:940B:E916:BD0B:B969 11:42, 19 January 2025 (UTC)
