Abstract
By defining a closure operator on effective equivalence relations in a regular category C, it is possible to establish a bijec- tive correspondence between these closure operators and the regu- lar epireflective subcategories L of C. When C is an exact Goursat category this correspondence restricts to a bijection between the Birkhoff closure operators on effective equivalence relations and the Birkhoff subcategories of C. In this case it is possible to pro- vide an explicit description of the closure, and to characterise the congruence distributive Goursat categories.
