Dipterist extraordinaire David Yeates writes : If accepted, a recently proposed amendment to the ICZN allows for electronic publication of taxonomic names…. [T]he logical implications of this proposal are many and far reaching. For example, this change may lead to further advances so that zoological taxonomy bypasses traditional journal publication entirely … I agree with Yeates. Taxonomy will migrate from paper journals to online databases, and this will happen sooner rather than later
