	57. 213 Accesses	Commentary Zoological nomenclature in the digital era Alessandro Minelli Frontiers in Zoology 2013, 10:4 (4 February 2013) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| PubMed \| Editor’s summary Alessandro Minelli calls for radical changes to zoological nomenclature and envisages a future where the act of registering a name, with accompanying taxonomic data, would confer the availability of that name in the same way that publication does currently.
	58. 207 Accesses	Research Galápagos and Californian sea lions are separate species: Genetic analysis of the genus Zalophus and its implications for conservation management Jochen BW Wolf, Diethard Tautz, Fritz Trillmich Frontiers in Zoology 2007, 4:20 (15 September 2007) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| PubMed \| Cited on BioMed Central \| Editor’s summary According to molecular evidence, Galapagos sea lions should be classified as a separate species, phylogenetically distinct from the Californian and Japanese sea lions. These findings should be taken into consideration for conservation of the species.
