This contribution is fifth in a series of articles in Integrative and Comparative Biology that was initiated by Schwenk et al. (2009) and followed by Satterlie et al. (2009), Denny and Helmuth (2009), and Denver et al. (2009). Here, our intent is to be provocative and to stimulate further discourse. Like other contributors we have our own biases, and as it should be clear to the readers, we approach this task as evolutionary biologists, specifically systematists.
本贡献是综合比较生物学系列文章中的第五篇，该系列文章由 Schwenk 等人（2009 年）发起，随后 Satterlie 等人（2009 年）、Denny 和 Helmuth（2009 年）以及 Denver 等人（2009 年）也参与其中。在这里，我们旨在提出一些有争议的观点，并激发进一步的讨论。与其他撰稿人一样，我们也有自己的偏见，而且读者应该清楚，我们作为进化生物学家，特别是系统生物学家，来完成这项任务。
