#Skinks are no very tiny #lizards (#Squamata). The #ongoing #discoveries of even larger #new animal and plant #species like this new species from China indicate that #biodiversityresearch is indeed internationally on its good way to counteract the motto " too #manyspecies too #littletime". The ongoing #awareness of #biodiversity research as important part of understanding and counteractung the effects of the increasing human made #globalwarming is a crucial step.

An interesting scientific paper on #Gilliesieae (#Amaryllidaceae), which have a limited distribution in #Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, and Peru. The authors N. García and Miersia (2026) describe four #newspecies of genera #Gilliesia and #Miersia. All species are found only in specific regions of Chile and are therefore #endemic. The authors also amplified and sequenced #DNA sequences to reconstruct the #phylogenetic positions of the new species. #Biodiversityresearch
