"This accomplishment is a first
major step towards completing the Linnaean enterprise, which is essential
for mapping Earth's still poorly known fauna. With the firm foundation
ZooBank aims to provide, the rest of biology will be immensely strengthened,
and humanity correspondingly benefited"
Edward O. Wilson, Harvard
Professor, and the leading authority on biodiversity.
"This is a hugely significant
step for animal conservation. With ZooBank in place we will all
have access to a single reference list of animal names, and so
discussions about priority species and habitats can proceed with
greater clarity and speed."
Georgina Mace OBE, Director of Science,
Zoological Society of London.
