Abstract

The Executive Board of the International Committee on Systematics of Prokaryotes (ICSP) read with much interest the recent comment by Lloyd and Tahon (Science depends on nomenclature, but nomenclature is not science. Nat. Rev. Microbiol. 20, 123–124 (2022))1. The authors raise various criticisms of recent ICSP activities to which we respond here.
