#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.

Beetles of the genus #Cheironitis (#Scarabaeinae) are characterized by a strikingly #robust #morphology in the #adults, while the larvae usually resemble cockchafer grubs. These are #dungbeetles that exhibit #broodcare. They are widespread in #arid regions of the #Palearctic and #Afrotropical regions. YuHeng Wang et al. (2025) described, i.a., the new species C. #aiweiae from #ShirenGou (Xinjiang Uygur). #Biodiversityresearch © this text #StefanFWirth
