This contribution is fifth in a series of articles in Integrative and Comparative Biology that was initiated by Schwenk et al. (2009) and followed by Satterlie et al. (2009), Denny and Helmuth (2009), and Denver et al. (2009). Here, our intent is to be provocative and to stimulate further discourse. Like other contributors we have our own biases, and as it should be clear to the readers, we approach this task as evolutionary biologists, specifically systematists.
