Taxonomic Repeatability: An Experimental Approach

Moss, W. W. (Div. Entomol., U. Calif., Berkeley 94720). 1971. Taxonomic repeatability: an experimental approach. Syst. Zool., 20:309-330.-Two groups of workers from two universities assigned phenetic similarities, intuitively and numerically, to two sets of test objects (Caminalcules). The results of these studies were analyzed for correspondence and relative variability, and contrasted in various ways. [Numerical phenetics; Experimental taxonomy.]
