If you want to be a scientist, you enroll in 4-10 years of higher education. If you want to be an artist, you go to art school and learn a classic technique. Two choices; a binary. Right?Or, could it be that there's an entire spectrum of choices in between? In this episode, we explore the places where art and science connect with three talented people who have a foot in both worlds. Aissa Domingo is an artist, photographer, and illustrator, Nicole Parish is an artist and naturalist, and Kathleen Baraan is a nature-based art educator. All three have unique perspectives on the shared practice of art and science, and our discussion reveals how important art is to telling scientific stories.See more of Aissa's work on her website: https://aissadomingo.com/wp/And Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aissa_domingo/And more of Nicole's work on hers: https://www.soundoftheforest.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_soundoftheforest_/Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/soundoftheforest.bsky.socialTik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@soundoftheforestAnd follow Kathleen's work on her website: https://beacons.ai/deartoourheartsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/deartoourhearts/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/deartoourhearts/A transcript of this episode can be found here: Aissa Domingo, Kathleen Baraan, and Nicole Parish - TranscriptOther resources and people mentioned in this episode:Leonard Co: https://www.philippineplants.org/General/AboutLeonard.htmlBaba Dioum: https://biographycentral.com/biography/baba_dioumWild Wonder Foundation's prompts for nature journaling: https://www.wildwonder.org/store/p/nj-zineThe Philippine Taxonomic Initiative: https://phtaxa.org/Be sure to follow New Species on Bluesky (@newspeciespodcast.bsky.social) and Instagram (@NewSpeciesPodcast) and “like” the podcast page on Facebook (www.facebook.com/NewSpeciesPodcast).Music in this podcast is "No More (Instrumental)," by HaTom (https://fanlink.to/HaTom)If you have questions or feedback about this podcast, please e-mail us at NewSpeciesPodcast@gmail.comIf you would like to support this podcast and enjoy free bonus episodes, please consider doing so at https://www.patreon.com/NewSpeciesPodIf you would like to make a one-time contribution to this podcast, you can do so at https://buymeacoffee.com/newspeciespod
THE FLOW OF GRACE AND FAITH The Gift of God's Grace shifts the burden of spiritual growth from us to the divine Creator God – and the very logos DNA design of being a New Creation in Christ makes the pursuit of holiness no longer a behavioural project but the natural manifestation of a new grace-filled nature. Grace is not an add on to become more spiritual - it is the Primal Source and the genetic blueprint of the New Creation. Ephesians 2:4-10 (ESV) 4. But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, 5. even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved— Paul says that before Jesus died on the cross and rose from the dead and sent the Holy Spirit all of humanity was in a state of being "dead in trespasses." it is a description of a state of spiritual being - dead-end. We once were lost (vs 1-3) but now are found in Christ. He says we were trying to achieve spiritual output from a dead-end source without the life of Jesus. A dead-end nature cannot rehabilitate itself; it require a different kind of life entirely. If a person does not have a revelation of being reconciled katalasso –being conjoined in spirit with the Spirit of God and made partakers of the divine nature. No behavioural modification bridges the chasm between Old Creation consciousness and Spiritual age to age life. This state of total "Deadness" demands faith in the divine intervention that is above and beyond the human system. 6. and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus. The Divine Initiative of God was an act of death and resurrection for our sakes that was entirely apart from human faith, obedience, or response. God acted out of love to give his life to humanity. This was the act of universal reconciliation – katalasso – the divine outcome of the incarnation of Jesus and his death and resurrection and sending of the Holy Spirit. But for it to become a conscious reality for us it requires our faith in that act of divine reconciliation. Paul calls us a New Creation – a creation model and not an evolution model – not trying to improve the old one. This is not just some legal status but a spiritual merger where the individual is woven into the life of the Divine. This union is categorized by three specific dimensions of being "Together with Christ". Verses 5 and 6 Made alive together: The new life-essence that terminates the state of deadness. Raised up together: The elevation into a higher state of being. The word id ontology. Seated together: The establishment of a new position of authority and rest, centred in the divine life rather than human effort. 7. so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. 8. For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9. not a result of works, so that no one may boast. This Gift of Grace shifts the burden of spiritual growth from us to the divine Creator God – and the very logos DNA design of being a New Creation makes the pursuit of holiness no longer a behavioural project but the natural manifestation of a new nature. Grace is not an add on to become more spiritual - it is the Primal Source and the genetic blueprint of the New Creation. The way this New Creation model works is by shifting from "trying to acquire grace " to "permitting the flow of grace " In the old framework, we try to earn or generate spiritual value. In the New Creation model, we acknowledge that the grace life-force is already in effect. This is the "Logos logic" (vs.8) of Paul – see also in Romans 5. Romans 5:2. Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God Faith does not create grace; it accesses a pre-existing faith/grace system because Grace is the gift of the act of Divine Universal Reconciliation.Faith is the how-to of Access: Faith is not an achievement that produces salvation. It is the process of conscious agreement of letting the grace and faith OF Jesus flow from our spirit to our soul. It is the act of not frustrating the grace but allowing Spirit life to manifest through to the human soul as though through a pipeline connection. The operation of our faith is simply turning on the valve of the ‘faith of God' and not resisting or frustrating the flow of grace – and for this we are accountable. In the diagram - there is a red and yellow vertical line that represents Jesus bringing his human and divine Holy Spirit life into the life of humanity, represented by a horizontal purple pipeline. At that point there is a yellow circle representing the fullness of the grace (gift) of God's life. That life begins to flow from left to right as a pipeline of the grace of God right to the end where there is a bubble that represents our soul. Halfway along the pipeline there is a yellow circle which represents a ‘faith valve'. That faith valve is where our faith in Christ is able to turn on or off the faith OF Christ and either maintain or frustrate the flow of grace to our soul. Galatians 2:20 And the life I now live in the flesh (the embodiment of my soul) I live by the faith OF the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I do not frustrate the grace of God, for if righteousness (alignment with God) were through the law, then Christ has died in vain Our soul bubble at the end will either be filled with a grace-filled hatch of yellow and purple or by stark lines of our own human effort. It is in our soul bubble where we meet the outside world – seen for who we are in our emotional and cognitive and spiritual life, along with the signs of bodily stress or calm. It will reflect a self-willfulness that has frustrated the grace or a self willingness that reflects the grace that puts God on display in our life. Our faith is not merely a personal belief in Christ, but belief in the faith OF Christ - Christ's own faith and life already operating within us. Galatians 2:16"Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ..." Again:"...that we might be justified by the faith of Christ." Galatians 3:22 The scriptures have concluded all under sin, that the promise by the faith of Jesus Christ might be given to us who believe - our faith participates. Ephesians 3:12 In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him." (KJV) Philippians 3:9"not having mine own righteousness... but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith." Romans 3:22"Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe." 9. Revelation 14:12 "Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus." 10. Hebrews 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith." 11. Phil. 2:13 For it is God who works in you both to will and to do of His good purpose. 12. Phil 1:6 he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion …because I hold you in my heart, for you are all partakers with me of grace. Our faith is therefore not an independent human achievement but a sharing in the faith life of the Son through the indwelling Spirit. Spiritual health is not about "getting" more of God's life but about accessing and "permitting the flow of the fulness of God's life" by turning on the tap of faith for the flow of grace that is already provided. This is perhaps the deepest implication of Paul's repeated phrase, "the faith of Christ”.Top of Form 10. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. This distinction introduces a new ledger of accountability. Under the old human performance framework, people are judged by their willpower to adhere to external rules in honouring God. Under the New Creation model, the only measure of accountability is our access to the provided age-to-age life. This demolishes self-effort religion, as it proves that a legal pardon only juggles the ledger, whereas an ontological shift (a change in essential being) changes our very nature itself. This internal mechanism of faith naturally leads to the external manifestation of what Paul calls God's Workmanship (vs.19) The doing of "good works" is the natural fruit of a new nature rather than the "forced labour" of the old self. In this model, we can function as a "display case" for divine grace. This is the ultimate Workmanship (poema): Holiness becomes the spontaneous outward display of an internal change of a divine/human species, where the divine life is literally woven into the fabric of our spirit in the new mind and the new heart. This integration is the only process capable of the "salvation of the soul"—a feat that legal pardon is structurally unable to achieve. That's why I run the course. Old Self Framework (Effort) New Creation Framework (Expression) Frustrating the Spirit through strain "Being still" and "flowing" This "Expression Over Effort" model is the subjecting of self-will to God's will. When this happens the strain of religious performance is replaced by the natural "flowing" of the New Creation. This ceasing of self-will is the terminal point of the old nature and the realization of the soul's salvation. It is called Repentance from dead works. (Hebrews 6:1) The life of the Creator is woven into the very fabric of our mind (1Corinthians 2:16). This is not a psychological adjustment; it is a structural reality. Please understand! Superseding the Rehabilitation Myth: We must stop attempting to improve the old nature through more persuasive social rules. What was dead accepts a katalasso reconciled life Cultivating Permission over Performance: The goal of spiritual growth is the "being still" that allows the life of Christ to become the prime mover, resulting in the natural expression of the New Creation. The "rest of the New Creation" is realized only when we stop trying to improve the old self and begins letting the New Creation live through us. When the strain of self-resurrection ends, the authentic life of the New Species begins.

Crayfish, Crawfish, Crawdad; no matter what you call them, If you live in the southeastern United States, their biodiversity hotspot is in your backyard! Astacologist (crayfish biologist) Dr. Zack Graham joins us on this episode to tell us just how wild these freshwater crustaceans are. He shares just a bit of his knowledge on their biodiversity, interesting behaviors, their impact on American culture, and some of the unique threats they continue to face. At the end of the day, why do crayfish matter? Zack says, “I think at a basic level, humans are just generally curious about what's going on out in nature. And that's what really fuels a lot of my work, just trying to understand what has happened in the past, what's going to happen in the future to these animals that have been living on earth for over 300 million years. They've been here for a very long time. So I think, you know, they kind of have a right to be here and to be protected and to be studied and understood.”A transcript of this episode can be found here: Zack Graham - TranscriptEpisode image credit: Zack GrahamLearn more about Zack's lab: https://crayfish.westliberty.edu/You can also follow them on facebook: www.facebook.com/wlucrayfishAnd on Instagram: @wlucrayfishlabYou can order Zack's book here: https://uncpress.org/9781469685731/crayfish-crawfish-crawdad/Learn more about the International Association of Astacology: https://www.astacology.org/default.asp?uid=GuestPeruse the American Crayfish Atlas: https://americancrayfishatlas.web.illinois.edu/And check out some beautiful crayfish photos from Zack's adventures: https://www.flickr.com/photos/196391561@N03/Be sure to follow New Species on Bluesky (@newspeciespodcast.bsky.social) and Instagram (@NewSpeciesPodcast) and “like” the podcast page on Facebook (www.facebook.com/NewSpeciesPodcast).Music in this podcast is "No More (Instrumental)," by HaTom (https://fanlink.to/HaTom)If you have questions or feedback about this podcast, please e-mail us at NewSpeciesPodcast@gmail.comIf you would like to support this podcast and enjoy bonus episodes, please consider doing so at https://www.patreon.com/NewSpeciesPod

While giving a tour in the Ecuadorian Amazon, Alex Bently identified a clump on a leaf as a dead spider parasitized by a Cordyceps fungus. When it moved under his touch, he realized that it was actually a unique case of mimicry, and worked with David Ricardo Díaz Guevara and Nadine Dupérré to describe it as a new species. In this episode, Alex shares the unique nature of this spider, as well as what we can learn from it about the complex relationships that can occur between fungi and other organisms.

Freshwater shrimps are difficult to study. They're nocturnal, they live in leaf litter, and yet they are involved in both commercial fishing and the pet trade, making research on their diversity critical. Dr. Prakash Sanjeevi and Maclean Santos have a new strategy for adapting to these challenges: harnessing the power of community. Through educational videos, social media, workshops, and more they provide training to already-interested hobbyists, who in turn help them find rare specimens for papers like this one, in which they redescribe a species that hadn't been seen in Indian waters for 72 years. “I truly feel that it is not the talent which survives the long term in this research game, It is more of the hard work and it is more about how much you like the species because if you love a species, you will work really hard for the species” says Maclean. Listen in as we discuss the fascinating morphology, biology, and joy provided by these freshwater shrimps.Maclean Santos and Prakash Sanjeevi's paper “Rediscovery of the genus Atyopsis Chace, 1983 (Decapoda: Atyidae) in mainland India following a 72-year gap” is in volume 5722 of Zootaxa.

“I hope that individual taxonomists take a step back and really think about the choices they make when it comes to collaboration…I want taxonomists to consider equity in their work, and not just consider that but actively support actions that are making a difference in the way we do science.” Cláudia Xavier's words here address the issue that is the focus of her new paper; who actually gets the opportunity to be a taxonomist? In this episode, I talk to Katherine and Cláudia about their experiences writing this paper, but also being taxonomists in a field that wasn't built with everyone in mind. They tell me the stories of two marginalized taxonomists who made outsized impacts on their field, and how they hope their research lays the foundation for a more equitable and just arachnology in the future.Katherine Montana and Cláudia Xavier's paper “If history is written by the victors, who describes the spiders? Species author trends reflect gender and geopolitical disparities in biodiversity science” is in volume 146, issue 1 of the Biological Journal of the Linnean Society.

Hump Day is finally here with some really warm weather expected. Also looking at some rain tonight. Gonna try to get some yard work done before the showers begin. In the news this morning, the results of yesterday's elections in Wisconsin, President Trump announces a cease-fire with Iran, and the UW Board of Regents voted yesterday to fire the UW President. In sports, the Brewers dropped a game to the Red Sox yesterday, the Bucks also lost last night to Brooklyn, a wild dust-up between the Angels & Braves, the favorites to win next year's NCAA men's national championship, and some pics of Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel are going viral. We talked about what's on TV today/tonight and we discussed the very expensive reshoots that were required for the Michael Jackson movie that comes out later this month. Cute story about a seal at the New England Aquarium who's obsessed with his rubber duckie, and a college student in Vietnam is being called a hero after running into a burning building & saving seven people from the fire. Now that Artemis II is on it's way back to Earth, people are talking about what's next for the program. And that will eventually be living on the surface of the moon. Which could lead to a new species of human beings, apparently. Plus, did you see the "Full House" video they released? Elsewhere in sports, Bears legend Steve McMichael had CTE at the time of his death last year, a look at the schedule of the NCAA Frozen Four which kicks off tomorrow, a baby is born at an NHL game, and a bunch of very expensive hockey sticks are stolen during an extremely Canadian crime. Speaking of things that are expensive…check out this house in Seattle that's a bit out of it's price range. We're a few weeks removed from the whole "CEO's eating their own food" trend, but the McDonald's CEO is still trying to explain what went wrong during his video with the Big Arch burger. Taco Bell announced that they're going to be adding steak & guac nacho fries to their menu, young people are discover "Farmer's Coke", and Doritos became too expensive for the Walmart shelves! A house painter is suing UNC football coach Bill Belichick, and in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a unique way some schools in #Florida are trying to battle against school shooters, an angry beaver in NJ is captured after it terrorized & attacked residents, a guy in Utah got busted doing 112mph in a 70mph zone with his mom…grandmom..and a 16 year-old girl in the car, and a #FloridaWoman was also speeding and assaulted an officer who arrested her.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The Western Ghats of India are one of the world's most important biodiversity hotspots, home to thousands of endemic species and remarkable ecological diversity. In this episode of the Think Wildlife Podcast, we speak with Abinesh Anbazhagan, a PhD scholar at Pondicherry University whose research explores herpetology, biodiversity discovery, and the growing role of technology in wildlife conservation.Abinesh's work focuses on documenting biodiversity in the Nilgiris landscape, a region that forms a crucial part of the Western Ghats ecosystem. Over more than a decade of research, his work has contributed to large-scale biodiversity indexing projects that have documented thousands of terrestrial species in the region. These efforts are critical for understanding the distribution of species and identifying areas that require urgent conservation attention.One of the most exciting aspects of Abinesh's research is the discovery and description of new species. Recent work has resulted in the identification of previously unknown species of arthropods and fireflies, as well as the rediscovery of species believed to be lost or extremely rare. Discoveries like these highlight how much remains unknown about biodiversity in even well-known landscapes such as the Western Ghats.The episode also explores Abinesh's research on reptile ecology, including geckos, snakes, and tarantulas, and his current PhD research focusing on pit viper ecology in island ecosystems. Understanding the ecology and distribution of these species is vital for conservation, particularly because many reptiles and amphibians are highly sensitive to environmental change and habitat disturbance.A major theme of the conversation is the increasing role of technology in modern wildlife research. From camera trapping and telemetry to GIS modeling, machine learning, and molecular genetics, technological tools are transforming the way scientists monitor species and ecosystems. Abinesh explains how tools such as DNA barcoding, phylogenetic analysis, and satellite-based spatial data are helping researchers identify species, map habitats, and detect emerging conservation threats.The discussion also highlights the importance of traditional ecological knowledge and community participation in conservation. Indigenous communities and local forest watchers often possess deep knowledge of species behavior, habitats, and seasonal patterns. Integrating this knowledge with scientific research can significantly improve conservation outcomes and strengthen long-term ecosystem stewardship.Abinesh also discusses the key threats facing biodiversity in the Nilgiris region, including deforestation, invasive species, habitat encroachment, pesticide pollution, and artificial light at night. These pressures can have serious consequences for endemic species, particularly reptiles and amphibians that rely on specific temperature ranges and microhabitats for survival.Climate change presents another major challenge for wildlife in mountainous ecosystems like the Western Ghats. Many species are adapted to narrow climatic conditions and may be forced to shift their ranges to higher elevations as temperatures rise. For species already restricted to mountain peaks or isolated habitats, this could lead to local extinctions.This episode provides a fascinating look at the intersection of taxonomy, technology, and conservation science in one of the most biologically rich regions of the world. From rediscovering species thought to be extinct to exploring how artificial intelligence can transform wildlife monitoring, the conversation highlights the importance of continued research and collaboration in protecting biodiversity.Subscribe to the Think Wildlife Podcast for more conversations with scientists, conservationists, and wildlife researchers working to protect biodiversity around the world.#WesternGhats #Herpetology #SpeciesDiscovery #BiodiversityResearch #WildlifeScience #SnakeEcology #ReptileResearch #ConservationScience #WildlifePodcast #ThinkWildlife Get full access to The Think Wildlife Podcast at anishbanerjee.substack.com/subscribe

Sometimes, a collection of new species turns out to be… no new species!Takahiro Sugiyama, Ryutaro Goto, and Chloé Fourreau began studying the unique ectoparasitic scale worm Gastrolepidia clavigera in part because of its fascinating diversity of color, likely contributing to its ability to camouflage on sea cucumbers. After some genetic work, they found that this entire rainbow of scale worms all actually seem to belong to the same species!

Donard Geci fell into studying spiders by accident, but now he can't imagine his life without them. He's one of the only arachnologists in the Balkans, a hotspot for spiders as well as plenty of other flora and fauna. It's difficult, he says, “but you have many things to do here because many groups are unexplored.”Trapdoor spiders are masterful architects, and there is so much work to do in order to better understand their relationships to one another. Fortunately, Donard isn't deterred at all and wants to encourage even more scientists to study the amazing quantity of life found in the Balkans. Donard Geci's paper “Trapdoor spiders of the family Nemesiidae Simon, 1889 (Araneae: Mygalomorphae) from Kosovo” is in volume 20, issue 2 of Arachnology.

There are plenty of taxonomists who use museum collections as a resource, but not everyone makes collections the basis of their work. Rodrigo Dios studies Tachinid flies, a group that displays some of the most diverse parasitism behavior of all animals. By reorganizing and rediscribing museum specimens, he finds that we have a lot to learn from both flies and museum collections. “It's crazy,” says Rodrigo, about working in collections. “You can actually assess all this knowledge, all this variation between time and between space as well. It's like infinite knowledge.”Rodrigo Dios' paper “Taxonomic update on Cordyligasterini, new generic synonyms and new species of Neosophia Guimarães” is in volume 29 of Entomological Science.

Willow, Maple and Mahogany are the facility's newest “animal ambassadors.”
Have a million new species just been discovered?That's the claim made by Dr Oliver Vince, co-founder of a company called Basecamp Research, who are collecting genetic data to train AI systems. The hope is that they'll be able to use this to discover new medicines.But is this number a good one? Rob Finn, from the European Bioinformatics Institute, explains what is being counted and how you go about counting them.Credits: Presenter and producer: Tom Colls Production co-ordinator: Brenda Brown Sound mix: Dave O'Neill Editor: Richard Vadon

“The queen especially was not like, like totally not like mad mad, but like mad at him…”That analysis is from Charleigh (age 6 ), who I talked to along with her dad Jesse (older than 6) about the 1998 classic A Bug's Life! We discussed serious matters such as the number of legs ants have, if insects have blood, and if the movie missed an opportunity by not including a dung beetle (I think they did). Charleigh and Jesse co-host the amazing podcast arthropod adventures, which teaches listeners about arthropods they might see in their backyard. Stay inquisitive and never stop learning with me as I talk to them in this very silly bonus episode!Our ratings:Scientific accuracy

Do you ever wonder if your pet could be a new species? Paleontologist Benedikt Kästle took a closer look at his, and it led to a brand new genus and species! Also known as woodlice, these popular pets are easy to keep and easier to enjoy for the way they skitter and roll up. Benedikt explains that his scientific background can help members of the isopod community connect the valuable experience they have from rearing isopods to the broader research community, where much about isopods is still unknown.Benedikt does this both through his instagram account and in his conversations with hobbyists from around the world, and it makes an impact. This new species is one of many that went undescribed for many years. Now its name is known from Martinique to Germany and beyond. Listen to this episode for a story that celebrates the humble roly poly in all its diversity and mystery.Benedikt Kästle's paper “Description of a new genus and species of terrestrial isopod (Oniscidea, Armadillidae) endemic to Martinique” is in volume 47 issue 29 of Zoosystema.

Stoneflies, or Plecoptera, are an order of insects with around 4,000 species. But that's about to change. In her paper “Stonefly systematics: past, present, and future,” Anna Eichert and her colleagues from around the world map out the way stoneflies have changed as a group over time, some of the factors that shape our current understanding of the stoneflies, and what can change in the future to make sure our knowledge of stonefly diversity continues to grow. Learn from Anna's account of her experiences and her passion for stoneflies in this episode, and next time you encounter a stream, flip over a rock or two.Anna Eichert's paper “Stonefly systematics: past, present, and future” is in volume 9, issue 4 of Insect Systematics and Diversity.

The genus Adelopsis is one of the many groups of LBB's, ‘little brown beetles' that often get left behind or unidentified by researchers. Eduardo Gomyde is a scientist giving them a closer look. “We're not just identifying species,” he explains, “but we are also analyzing and understanding the finer scale of the [features] that help us to differentiate them.”Using Scanning Electron Microscopy, Eduardo and his coauthor carefully examined the tiniest of details. To find these specimens they had to sort through countless vials of “bycatch”, material leftover from other research that gets deposited in museum collections. Listen in as Eduardo describes his work, and learn about the great joy he takes in giving the LBB's the attention and care they deserve.Eduardo Gomyde's paper “Revisiting the concept of ‘ultra evolved' aedeagi of Adelopsis Portevin, 1907 (Coleoptera: Leiodidae: Cholevinae: Ptomaphagini) using scanning electronmicroscopy, with description and redescription of species” is in volume 17 issue 1 of Megataxa.It can be found here: https://doi.org/10.11646/megataxa.17.1.3A transcript of this episode can be found here: Eduardo Gomyde - TranscriptNew Species: Adelopsis boraceia, Adelopsis monticola, Adelopsis vanini, Adelopsis gibber, Adelopsis ilhabela, Adelopsis caeteh, Adelopsis gandarela, Adelopsis sacerdotisEpisode image credit: Eduardo GomydeListen to Eduardo and I discuss the movie Mosquito Man on a free bonus episode: https://www.patreon.com/posts/mosquito-man-144374393Be sure to follow New Species on Bluesky (@newspeciespodcast.bsky.social) and Instagram (@NewSpeciesPodcast) and like the podcast page on Facebook (www.facebook.com/NewSpeciesPodcast).Music in this podcast is "No More (Instrumental)," by HaTom (https://fanlink.to/HaTom)If you have questions or feedback about this podcast, please e-mail us at NewSpeciesPodcast@gmail.comIf you would like to support this podcast and enjoy bonus episodes, please consider doing so at https://www.patreon.com/NewSpeciesPod

How much do you know about lichens? These incredible taxa are understudied, but today's guest is making sure they're not undervalued. “You can't look at lichens under a microscope and not become immediately obsessed,” says Dr. Erin Manzitto-Tripp. “It's an endless world of magnificent, beautiful biodiversity.”Erin works in the mountains of Colorado to describe new species of lichens along with the rest of her fantastic lab. For this paper they called not just on the power of nature, but also on the power of music. These three new species are named after the Indigo Girls, the individual members of the band and the band itself, in thanks for the many gifts Erin and others have received through their music.Erin Manzitto-Tripp's paper “The Thin Horizon of a Plan is Almost Clear: Towards a Lichen Biodiversity Inventory of the Southern Rocky Mountains, USA” is in volume 712 issue 3 of Phytotaxa.

The Cretaceous insects in the family Umenocoleidae have been difficult to classify, but for Soo Bin Lee they are a window into one of the most interesting periods of our prehistoric world. While closely related to the modern cockroaches in order Blattodea, fossil Umenocoleids have been found and researched across the world and found to be present across a larger portion of geologic time than expected. They're linked to the Cretaceous Terrestrial Revolution, an important period of change when angiosperms, or flowering plants, exploded in diversity and prevalence and changed the development of insects as a result. By examining the tiny and delicate wing venation of fossils, Lee and his coauthors were able to uncover and untangle a new chapter in our knowledge of prehistory. Listen in as Lee draws us into the world of prehistoric creatures, environmental change, and the beauty and complexity of wings.Soo Bin Lee's paper “A new Albian genus and species and two other new species of Umenocoleidae (Dictyoptera) from South Korea” is in volume 166 of Cretaceous ResearchIt can be found here: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cretres.2024.106013A transcript of this episode can be found here: Soo Bin Lee - TranscriptNew Species: Umenocoleus minimus, Pseudoblattapterix weoni, Petropterix koreaensisBe sure to follow New Species on Bluesky (@newspeciespodcast.bsky.social) and Instagram (@NewSpeciesPodcast) and like the podcast page on Facebook (www.facebook.com/NewSpeciesPodcast).Music in this podcast is "No More (Instrumental)," by HaTom (https://fanlink.to/HaTom)If you have questions or feedback about this podcast, please e-mail us at NewSpeciesPodcast@gmail.comIf you would like to support this podcast and enjoy bonus episodes, please consider doing so at https://www.patreon.com/NewSpeciesPod
