This book is an extended argument for abandoning the species rank. Instead, the author proposes that the rank of "species" be replaced by a pluralistic and multi-level view. In such a view, all clades including the smallest identifiable one would be named and studied within a phylogenetic context. What are currently called "species" represent different sorts of things depending on the sort of organisms and processes being considered. This is already the case, but is not formally recognized by those scientists using the species rank in their work. Adopting a rankless taxonomy at all levels would enhance academic studies of evolution and ecology and yield practical benefits in areas of public concern such as conservation. KEY FEATURES Proposes the replacement of restrictive species concepts with a pluralistic view Suggests abandoning the formal taxonomic rank of "species" Considers zoological, botanical, and microbiological aspects of the species level Deals with practical issues such as conservation, inventories, and field guides.

"Animals are increasingly recognized as fit and proper subjects for historians, yet their place in conventional historical narratives remains contested. This volume argues for a history of animals based on the centrality of liminality - the state of being on the threshold, not quite one thing yet not quite another. Since animals stand between nature and culture, wildness and domestication, the countryside and the city, and tradition and modernity, the concept of liminality has a special resonance for historical animal studies."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

Ce livre est le résultat d'une enquête systématique portant sur les différences zoologiques notées et stigmatisées dans la représentation grecque des animaux à partir des témoignages littéraires. Il étudie, sous la forme d'un dictionnaire critique et encyclopédique, toutes les classes d'animaux, aussi diverses et hétérogènes soient-elles, que les Grecs anciens ont formées, au cours d'un millénaire (d'Homère à Élien) pour mieux appréhender le monde animal et en conjurer l'éparpillement. L'analyse des critères classificatoires et des termes de classement en zoologie, dans la mesure où elle touche à une activité déterminante dans la structuration mentale des cadres du réel, met en lumière des caractéristiques plus générales de la culture.
