Many systematists appear to see research into automated identification systems as a threat to their field and their livelihood. Ironically, however, systematics has much to gain both practically and theoretically from the further development and use of such systems. It is now widely recognized that the days of systematics as a field populated by mildly eccentric - and often independently wealthy - individuals pursuing knowledge in splendid isolation from funding priorities and economic imperatives are well past. In order to attract both personnel and resources, systematics must transform itself into a large, coordinated, international scientific enterprise (Wheeler, 2(X)3, p. 4).
