    The Evolutionary Species Concept provides the ontological basis for understanding species. Operationalizing this concept requires both discovery modes and evaluation criteria for identifying and assessing evolutionary species.

    Area of Science:

    • Evolutionary biology
    • Species concepts
    • Historical ecology

    Background:

    • The Evolutionary Species Concept (ESC) is central to understanding species' roles in evolutionary biology.
    • Current operational species concepts often lack either robust discovery modes or comprehensive evaluation criteria.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To link the ontology of species (ESC) with the epistemology of biological studies.
    • To establish necessary components for scientifically identifying and validating evolutionary species.

    Main Methods:

    • Defining discovery modes for identifying potential evolutionary species.
    • Establishing evaluation criteria for assessing discovered entities.
    • Utilizing phylogenetic analysis within a hierarchical research program.
    Keywords:

    Main Results:

    • Neither discovery modes nor evaluation criteria alone are sufficient for assigning species status.
    • Operational historical species concepts focus on discovery, while non-dimensional concepts focus on evaluation.
    • A combination of both is necessary for robust species identification.

    Conclusions:

    • A hierarchical research program, starting with phylogenetic analysis, is essential for advancing species concept debates.
    • Integrating ontological and epistemological approaches is crucial for advancing evolutionary species identification.
    • The Evolutionary Species Concept, when operationally defined, provides a framework for rigorous species delimitation.
