Three years of hard work are condensed here! New ideas to get the best out of NGS to contribute to the recognition of cryptic Neotropical mammalian diversity. @PeerJLife https://t.co/cOiNqFahVQ #Biodiversity #Bioinformatics #MolecularBiology #Zoology

seems like the proposal for a new name to the northern giant hummingbird (Patagona chaski) was unnecessary, and is now been 'synonymized' by a century-old name: peruviana

The late Ecuadorian ornithologist Fernando Ortiz Crespo was right (I highly recommend his 1974 paper)

¡Tenemos una nueva especie de ave endémica para Colombia!

Se trata del Saltarín Dorado (Chloropipo flavicapilla) una especie rara, poco conocida, y amenazada de bosques de niebla andinos.

En mi nueva investigación publicada en @OrnitologiaCol demuestro que la especie sólo habita en Colombia, y no está en Ecuador como antes se pensaba.

Humanity’s actions have committed us to a warming climate. Although there is no turning back, some paths are open to avoid catastrophic #ClimateChange.

A special issue underscored the urgent choices we face to adapt. Learn more on #WorldEnvironmentDay: https://t.co/WwYgzDaCbV

It's #FossilFriday! Take a bite out of the weekend with Dilophosaurus wetherilli, a carnivore that lived ~194 mya during the Early Jurassic. Its name, which means “double-crested reptile,” comes from the paired crests on its skull—which were possibly used for display.

Leaders who ignore the science of #ClimateChange are failing their people.

Turns out 102 kg of carcasses brought to a nest by Harpy Eagles can seriously affect the local soil and plants! Incredible work here.
