Microbial species paper accepted

Do you remember a series of posts I did on microbial species? Well it evolved into a paper that has just been accepted, with some very constructive criticisms by a reviewer, for History and Philosophy of the Life Sciences. I thank all my commenters for suggestions and help.

But in the revision process I worked out some clearer ideas than I started with, and I am now a partisan for a current species "concept" - Alan Templeton's cohesion concept.
