There seemed no possibility of assessing the overall congruence of organismal and molecular trees, because microbial systematists had given up on the former and since the mid 1950s have been content with more practical schemes aimed at reliable species-level identification (38, 39).

Phylogenetic systematists disagree on all these issues, although finding one that has abandoned each and every feature of evolutionary systematics might be hard, outside of Brent Mishler.

While several early avian systematists also linked hoatzins with columbiforms, Sorenson et al. (2003) noted that their results were poorly supported.

But there is less criticism of those systematists termed ‘lumpers’: those who synonymise species and/or genera and are prepared to accept considerable variation within their concept of species and genera.
