3.That means taxonomists created the entire category of lesser ape just to single out the poor gibbon as the weird kid on the playground.

4.Writing in the journal Nature last year, the British biologist G. H. Godfray noted that there is a chronic lack of prestige and resources for taxonomists everywhere.

英国植物学家G.H.戈弗雷不久前在为《自然》杂志写的一篇文章，哪的分类学家都经常“缺少地位和资源”。

5.The taxonomist sometimes overlooks whole species in favour of those groups currently under study, while the ecologist often cotlects only a limited number of specimens of each species, thus reducing their value for taxonomic investigations.
