Woo-hoo! Hot off the presses, 9 new cryptic species of Dasycerus from the southern Appalachians! And they all look exactly like this one (except, of course, in their male genitalia). This rove beetle looks about as unstaphylinid-like as one could imagine. doi.org/10.1093/isd/ix…

Say hi to Scarabaeus sakalava, the first animal species described entirely using semantic languages! In our most recent paper, Sergei Tarasov 🇺🇦 and I implemented #Phenoscript to describe this new Malagasy #dungbeetle from scratch. Check it out at bdj.pensoft.net/article/134364/

The initial description of this new scarab beetle is composed directly in Phenoscript, replacing the traditional natural language format. Curious about how this works? Check out doi.org/10.3897/BDJ.12… #beetles #taxonomy #Phenoscript Giulio Montanaro Sergei Tarasov 🇺🇦 Luomus
