A Rose Is a Rose by Any Other Name, or Is It?

In this presentation, J.R. Blair will explore scientific name changes of fungi in the past few decades. Starting with a primer on taxonomic hierarchy (Domains, Kingdoms, Phyla, etc.), the Binomial System of Nomenclature, and species concepts, he will discuss the reasons that species names are changed and why higher level relationships (such as Genus and Family) have been shuffled by the scientific community.
