Phylogenetic nomenclature
Phylogenetic nomenclature is a method of nomenclature for taxa in biology that uses phylogenetic definitions for taxon names as explained below.

Especially in recent decades (due to advances in phylogenetics), taxonomists have named many "nested" taxa (i.e. taxa which are contained inside other taxa).

Phylogenetic nomenclature
The principles of traditional rank-based nomenclature are incompatible logically with all taxa being strictly monophyletic.
