First, we can erase the dichotomy between "naturalists" and "scientists," the supposition that one can be either an old-fashioned "ologist" or a builder of conceptual frameworks, but not both. Si monumentum requiris, circumspice: we have no lack of role models. If Ernst Mayr could publish on both ornithology and evolutionary theory throughout a lifetime (Gill 1994), if E. o. Wilson could make major contributions not only to ecology and sociobiology but also to myrmecology (Wilson 1994), if Willi Hennig could both elucidate the systematics and evolution of Diptera and lay the foundation of modern phylogenetic method, why should their successors not aspire to do likewise?
