Taxon Name Publication Rate

Name publication dates can be an indication of species discovery. Date of publication of new combinations (with paranthetical authors) can be an indication of revisionary activity. This graph gives an indication of the number of new taxon names and new taxon name combinations published by year (all ranks) for the selection above.
