The First International Phylogenetic Nomenclature Meeting convened in Paris from July 6–9, 2004 in the Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle. This meeting marked a turning point in the history of biological nomenclature — the inauguration of a new society (the International Society for Phylogenetic Nomenclature) that will soon launch a code of phylogenetic nomenclature (the PhyloCode) that will represent a fundamental change in the way in which taxon names are defined.
