| Predator from a tank: New water mite genus from bromeliad phytotelmata Posted: 06 Aug 2015 08:21 AM PDT During an extensive sampling of the water mite fauna across the Atlantic rainforests of Brazil, a new mite genus has been proposed and diagnosed. The research also led to the discovery of a new species, called Bromeliacarus cardoso after its collection point, the State Park of Ilha do Cardoso, São Paulo, Brazil. |
| Dark and marked: Strikingly colored new fleshbelly frog from the Andean cloud forest Posted: 06 Aug 2015 08:20 AM PDT Carrying itself with a dark mask on its face and a broad shapeless white mark on its chest, a frog had been jumping across the Peruvian cloud forests of the Andes unrecognized by the scientific world. Now, this visibly distinguishable species has been picked up by researchers from its likely only locality, a cloud forest near Cusco in Peru, at 2,350 m elevation. |
| World-famous, yet nameless: Hybrid flowering dogwoods named by scientists Posted: 05 Aug 2015 11:02 AM PDT Garden lovers and horticulturalists now have two new species names to add to their vocabulary and memory. The world's most commercially successful dogwood garden trees have finally received proper scientific names decades after their introduction into horticulture. The big-bracted, or flowering, dogwoods are beloved trees with cloud-like branches blossoming in early spring in white, sometimes red or pink. |
