Wikispecies:Wikispecies in the literature
This is a list of scientific articles in taxonomy or nomenclature with content that originated in Wikispecies or other Wikimedia projects.
Articles in this list should involve specific material on Wikispecies; merely citing, discussing (i.e. as an example of repository of taxonomic information) or linking to Wikispecies in general is not what this page is about.
