    Wheeler and Meier is the best general introduction to the debate
    [caveat - the positions presented as "phylogenetic" are not al phylogenetic]. But I would recommend this piece and the book it comes in if you can locate it:

    Mayden, R. L. 1997. A hierarchy of species concepts: the denoument in the saga of the species problem. In Species: The units of diversity, edited by M. F. Claridge, H. A. Dawah and M. R. Wilson. London: Chapman and Hall.
