I am seeing a lot of news in the press (at least in Spain) saying that botanists "have decided to get rid of all offensive names on plants". As always some media do not contrast and misinform, this is what has happened. 👇🏻

My research on the Australian azure butterflies – genus Ogyris - has just been published, with the discovery of a new species. 1/4

Species are going extinct before we discover them
Have you ever wondered, why is there no service to support taxonomic species descriptions?
The @oceanspecies_ project @Senckenberg proposes a new model to accelerate taxonomy. Out now in #Bioessays

Have you heard the news?! A stink bug new to science was discovered on our Wudjari Esperance Bush Blitz! The pea-sized stink bug resembles the spiky leaves of its host plant, a Hakea sp. If you take a closer look, you can see it also has curved horns and bright yellow tusks!

Be wary of species records on @atlaslivingaust when they are from @inaturalist - SO many incorrect #Australian #bee identifications. Crowd consensus does not equal taxonomic verification. We should be investing in #taxonomy @australtaxonomy

Very impressed with @RubySeadragon's work on weedy seadragons, using genomics to explore structure and gene flow, and wildlife forensics to track origin of illegally-collected animals 🐉 with Greg Rouse too! rdcu.be/ddhKM

There are so many undocumented species awaiting discovery in herbaria and museums, including several new triggerplants I’ve unearthed at the Northern Territory Herbarium in the past 2 weeks.
More taxonomists please👇
"Many new species are only now being discovered because they’re rare, isolated, or both — factors that also make them easier to wipe out". Thank you @katarinazimmer @undarkmag for highlighting the urgent need to catalog the worlds biodiversity. undark.org/2023/05/29/discov…

Forget catdog, have you heard of catshark? 🦈
Researchers have identified this new species after finding the shark’s eggs and matching them to those in our Australian National Fish Collection.

We just published a new paper at @PlantEnvInterac @wileyplantsci with some sobering findings. Our latest research at @Science_DBCA sheds light on future forest composition in Western Australia under a climate change scenario. Read the full study here: doi.org/10.1002/pei3.10108

We love taxonomists! ❤️
Today we’re celebrating the scientists who know what’s what in the world of plants and algae for #TaxonomistAppreciationDay.
We asked a few #TeamCSIRO taxonomists to tell us about a species that is special to them. spr.ly/60143fgQC

New paper in @ESAFrontiers. We analysed >1 million @inaturalist records of Australian terrestrial invertebrates (as of Dec. 2021) and assessed 'recognition' (% ID'ed to species) and 'completion' (% of all known species recorded) across 39 broad taxa
