Eric,

I'm reading Veron's book "Corals in Space and Time" (don't ask me why...I guess I didn't have enough to read!) and I have a question. He draws a pretty clear distinction between "taxonomy" and "systematics". According to his definition, they are two totally different concepts. However, in our course-long project, one of the areas we are to address is "taxonimical systematics". Now I'm confused!

Systematics is a type of study..taxonomy is a process...for our purposes they are the same. We are doing taxonomical systematics
