Yes, I agree that the importance of the 'reality' that any categorization
represents is an issue in itself.
Perhaps their interest in categorizing organisms to purely reflect their
genetics rather than their ecological functions has made taxonomists less prone
to justifying categorizations tha

Burak, you are correct that an ecoregion is a specific piece of real estate. I
guess I have been bothered considerably over the years by attempts to assign
Clementsian community meaning to all the various ways we divide natural real
estate. Sure, a "Cross Timbers Ecoregion" is a defined piece
David, I don’t understand your distinction between something that is 'real' in
nature versus something that is 'not actual, real, or concrete'. Whether
something is real or not depends on the context in which it is used.

I can't disagree with most of what most posters have said regarding this matter
(the question of species and the question of ecoregions, I can disagree with
the perception that people generally throw stones at fellow scientists in
disciplines other than their own).
