First, in 1942, he published "Systematics and the Origin of Species".
The audience, a rather awkward-looking bunch of men in suits eating canapés, was treated not to Prince, but to a collection of standards by bands with names like The Hypothecators and The Systematics.
The column argues that systematics is being "debauched by over-eager taxonomists, trying to help conservation" by more finely subdividing species.
The recent increase in species numbers is largely due to the explosion of detailed genetic data that reveals the evolutionary independence of populations, and to changing theoretical concepts of what a species is, inspired in part by the new genealogical data and the conceptual revitalization of phylogenetic systematics.

Research has always been important at the park, and many new insights into bird behaviour, breeding, and systematics have emerged from the work carried on there.
The point is that a theory of systematics may not in methodology be particularly evolutionary, but this is not to say that its understanding or interpretation is not evolutionary through-and-through.
The methodology of phylogenetic work rests on two approaches at present: numerical taxonomy (phenetics) and phylogenetic systematics (cladistics).
The next major change in the systematics of lower forms came through an advancement in the concept of the composition of the biotic world.
The present classification was adopted in the early 1970s, when the logic of phylogenetic systematics was beginning to be appreciated, and the taxonomy of the order Primates was reorganized so as to make taxa equivalent, as far as possible, to clades.
