Opinion Pieces
Systematic methods and interpretations remain contentious, perhaps especially in the field of biogeographic reconstruction. In the Lepidoptera, for which data are as good as for any organisms, studies of current and historical distributions abound. Unexpected, counter-intuitive and controversial patterns are proposed and countered. In Early View (see left side panel) we publish a counter and a defence concerning the use and interpretation of algorithms to derive an evolutionary history of Vanessa butterflies. We encourage non-polemical debate on such pressing issues in our field in the form of Opinion pieces. Further, we encourage authors to submit a well reasoned response to a systematic paper published in another journal that is less responsive to debate. To encourage wide dissemination, we are making all Opinion pieces, plus any underlying paper, free to all.
