An aggregate may be denoted by a group name interpolated in parentheses.” — The Berlin/MoreTax model notes:“[these] aren't taxonomic ranks but cirumscriptions because on the one hand they are necessary for the concatenation of the fullname and on the other hand they are necessary for distinguishing the aggregate or species group from the microspecies.” |
