The theoretical foundation of the ''PhyloCode'' was developed in a series of papers by [[Kevin de Queiroz|de Queiroz]] and [[Jacques Gauthier|Gauthier]],<ref>{{cite journal|last=de Queiroz|first=K.|author2=J.

Whenever possible, the writers of the ''PhyloCode'' used the draft ''[[BioCode]]'',<ref>{{cite journal|last=Greuter|first=W.|author2=D. L. Hawksworth |author3=J. McNeill |author4=A. Mayo |author5=A.

Thus, the organization of the ''PhyloCode'', some of its terminology, and the wording of certain rules are derived from the ''BioCode''. Other rules are derived from one or more of the rank-based codes, particularly the botanical<ref>{{cite book|last=Greuter|first=W. |author2=F. R. Barrie |author3=H. M. Burdet |author4=W. G.

However, many rules in the ''PhyloCode'' have no counterpart in any code based on taxonomic ranks because of fundamental differences in the definitional foundations of the alternative systems.  Note that the PhyloCode does not govern the names of species, whose rules of availability, typification, etc., remain regulated by the requisite traditional Code of Nomenclature.
