Ehrlich and BSC

[Michael Gochfeld]

Although some of us were raised on the biological species concept and 
argued vociferously with the cladists (or failed to understand why it 
was such an issue), it should be recalled that Paul Ehrlich 
(lepidopterist) published a thought provoking paper HAS THE BIOLOGICAL 
SPECIES CONCEPT OUTLIVED ITS USEFULNESS in 1961. Although this paper 
shook my "faith", it did not dissuade me from employing the BSC in my 
own research. 

It's still timely. 

M. Gochfeld
