Notes

  1. Note that CSC is a subtype of the evolutionary species concept (ESC) which states species as ‘an entity composed of organisms which maintains its identity from other such entities through time and over space, and which has its own independent evolutionary fate and historical tendencies’ (Mayden 1997).
