While creating a phylogenetic tree for a genus of insects, a taxonomist finds conflicting information between a recently published monograph and a classical museum catalogue. Which resource should be prioritized and why?
The museum catalogue, due to its historical precedence and established nomenclature.
The monograph, as it likely incorporates newer molecular data and revised classifications.
Equal weight to both, synthesizing the information.
Neither, consult a field guide for practical identification.
