- Abstract
Significance: This paper serves as a commentary on a recently published paper by Lawley et al. (PeerJ 2021;9, e11954). We caution the adoption of practices in the taxonomy of Scyphozoa by Lawley et al. on the basis that they may lead to taxonomic splits and parallel taxonomies in the face of a concerted push towards integrative taxonomy.
