Abstract
An article published last year in this journal (Ferreira et al., 2023) advocated the use of the name Crassostrea gasar (Dillwyn, 1817) for an amphi-Atlantic mangrove oyster. We challenge this terminology, which is not supported by the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, and defend the status quo accepting the name Crassostrea tulipa (Lamarck, 1819).
期刊介绍:
Zoologischer Anzeiger - A Journal of Comparative Zoology is devoted to comparative zoology with a special emphasis on morphology, systematics, biogeography, and evolutionary biology targeting all metazoans, both modern and extinct. We also consider taxonomic submissions addressing a broader systematic and/or evolutionary context. The overall aim of the journal is to contribute to our understanding of the organismic world from an evolutionary perspective.
The journal Zoologischer Anzeiger invites suggestions for special issues. Interested parties may contact one of the editors.
