similar plumage or other anatomicaltraits.Darwin recognized the fact that not all similar-looking creatures are necessarily biologically related when he produced his theory of evolution.With the general acceptance of Darwinism,taxonomy changed focus,utilizing more sophisticated methods to trace the biological links between species.The field advanced,but the complex nature of identifying species means that it remains full of pitfa11s.Even taxonomists,let alone nonspecialists, cannot always be sure that they have identified species accurately.
