Talk:Cetartiodactyla

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

If this coinage was introduced in Grauer, D. and D. Higgins. 1994. it should be attributed to them. --Wetman 06:36, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)

according to the animal diversity website (university of michigan), the super order of the cetartiodactyla is exist.

[edit] More common

There was a recent edit switching things around, stating that the term is most comonly used to unite the two orders at a superordinal level instead of uniting the two into a single order. I have seen almost no incident where the term is used uniting them at a superordinal level, but there was a period where it seemed almost half the issues of Systematic Biology were using the term to refer to the unification into a single order. There were also other odd changes such as instead of calling Cetartiodactyla a clade, the edit called it a "phylogeny". Mostly it seemed to be an edit from an informed user so I thought it would be prudent to explain my reversion. --Aranae 16:33, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
