International Code of Phylogenetic Nomenclature (PhyloCode)

Appendix C. Equivalence of Nomenclatural Terms Among Codes

Equivalence table of nomenclatural terms used in this code, the Draft BioCode and the current biological codes, except the International Code of Virus Classification and Nomenclature (patterned after a similar table in the Draft BioCode). The criteria represented by terms treated here as equivalent are not always exactly the same (e.g., establishment of a clade name in this code requires a phylogenetic definition, which is not a requirement of any other code).
