• Notes:
  • 📧 The e-mail address of the corresponding author given in the effective publication is not functional any more.
  • 💁 Taxonomists who have recently focused on this group are the corresponding authors of Huang et al. (2025). Editors in search of reviewers are advised to consider additional criteria such as whether a taxon is covered by one of the ICSP subcommittees.
  • 😢 The terminology used by the authors is in line with many other taxonomic studies and does not negatively affect their main results; some improvements may nevertheless be possible. Contrasting the term "chemotaxonomic" with "phenotypic" is not recommended. Whether taxa can have "members" is debatable. See the LPSN phylogeny page for details. Publication: Göker M.
