Zhang - who is actually Sharkey's academic "grandson", having studied under one of Sharkey's former students - was so frustrated that ZooKeys continued to publish papers from Sharkey et al. that he tweeted to the journal, "I'm done with you, go find a new subject editor." Earth is teeming with unknown species, and they're dying off faster than ever. now biologists a r e in an urgent battle over an old question: How should humanit y cata log life? Meier and Sharkey have gone back and forth in journal articles over whether Sharkey's method unfairly equates BINs, which are changeable categories whose boundaries can shift as new data is added, with species, which are meant to be stable reflections of separate evolutionary histories (despite being muddled by differences across geographic ranges, niches, and populations). In the years when Sharkey was working on his PhD, a project to name and describe 100 species of braconid, he visited some 10 museums across North America and Europe just to examine long-dead wasps.
