The new Ark
We are going to be @Cellarislab, a project dealing with modern biotechnologies to save #endangered #wildlife from #extinction.
Building in progress.

Happy 100th birthday to Sir David Attenborough — a life devoted to revealing the beauty and fragility of life on Earth.
We take inspiration from this vision of science in service of biodiversity.

#NewSpeciesAlert - 𝐺𝑦𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑜𝑚𝑖𝑚𝑢𝑠 𝑎𝑚𝑎𝑜𝑘𝑎𝑖, 𝐺𝑦𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑜𝑚𝑖𝑚𝑢𝑠 𝑗𝑜ℎ𝑛𝑝𝑎𝑥𝑡𝑜𝑛𝑖, 𝐺𝑦𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑜𝑚𝑖𝑚𝑢𝑠 𝑗𝑜ℎ𝑛𝑠𝑜𝑛𝑖, and 𝐺𝑦𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑜𝑚𝑖𝑚𝑢𝑠 𝑎𝑙𝑒𝑝𝑖𝑠, four new species of flabby whalefish (Beryciformes, Cetomimidae) are described in a new study published in @ZooKeys_Journal.

The authors also document three new species groups of 𝐺𝑦𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑜𝑚𝑖𝑚𝑢𝑠 and provide an identification key to the species groups and all known species.

Four new species of the whalefish genus 𝐺𝑦𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑜𝑚𝑖𝑚𝑢𝑠 Parr, 1934, with the establishment of three new species groups (Beryciformes, Cetomimidae)

Su Y, Paxton JR, Ho H-C (2026) Four new species of the whalefish genus 𝐺𝑦𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑜𝑚𝑖𝑚𝑢𝑠 Parr, 1934, with the establishment of three new species groups (Beryciformes, Cetomimidae). ZooKeys 1279: 57-95. https://t.co/26AULw2q8g

𝗔𝗯𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁
Four new species of the flabby whalefish genus 𝐺𝑦𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑜𝑚𝑖𝑚𝑢𝑠 Parr, 1934 are described based on female specimens: 𝐺. 𝑎𝑙𝑒𝑝𝑖𝑠 sp. nov. from the southern Atlantic, 𝐺. 𝑎𝑚𝑎𝑜𝑘𝑎𝑖 sp. nov. from the Northern Hemisphere, 𝐺. 𝑗𝑜ℎ𝑛𝑝𝑎𝑥𝑡𝑜𝑛𝑖 Su & Ho, sp. nov. from the Pacific and Atlantic, and 𝐺. 𝑗𝑜ℎ𝑛𝑠𝑜𝑛𝑖 sp. nov. from the northern Pacific.

Each of the new species differs from congeners in the length of gill filaments on fourth gill arch, numbers of dorsal- and anal-fin rays, gill rakers, head and lateral-line pores, anal lappets and vertebrae, distribution of cavernous tissue, and the shape and length/width ratio of copular tooth plate.

Moreover, three species groups are defined: 𝐺. 𝑏𝑟𝑢𝑢𝑛𝑖 species group, 𝐺. 𝑔𝑟𝑎ℎ𝑎𝑚𝑖 species group, and 𝐺. 𝑚𝑦𝑒𝑟𝑠𝑖 species group. Each group differs in the length of gill filaments, numbers of anal lappet and gill rakers, and distribution of cavernous tissue. Diagnostic characters and detailed descriptions of the new species are provided and compared to congeners, with variations discussed.

Finally, an identification key to species groups and all known species is provided.

Often labeled “the world’s most dangerous birds,” cassowaries just got even more intriguing.

The aggressive, flightless birds have structures on top of their heads called casques, the purpose of which has long confused scientists.

To the human eye, casques look fairly plain—but new research finds this headgear fluoresces under ultraviolet light, possibly aiding the birds’ visual displays.

👀 There’s a new “chonk” parrot livestream going viral… and yeah, you need to see this.

It's of Raikura the kākāpō, holding it down in an underground nest with her brand-new chicks.

Sad news for conservation. Dr. Biruté Galdikas dedicated her life to protecting orangutans and their habitat. Her work reminds us that protecting wildlife also means protecting ecosystems and fighting illegal trade.We must continue.

The tooth-billed pigeon (Didunculus strigirostris), also called "manumea" or "tandduva", is a large pigeon endemic of Samoa. This cousin of the dodo was found again in october and november 2025 in the forest of Uafato, after 5 years of absence.

Rediscovery of the sailback houndshark, 𝐺𝑜𝑔𝑜𝑙𝑖𝑎 𝑓𝑖𝑙𝑒𝑤𝑜𝑜𝑑𝑖, one of the world's rarest sharks. Recorded during a survey of artisanal fishers in Madang, PNG, the first verified record since its description of a single specimen in the 70s.
