Journal ArticleDOI

Photography-based taxonomy is inadequate, unnecessary, and potentially harmful for biological sciences

Luis M. P. Ceríaco, +494 more
- 23 Nov 2016 - 
TL;DR: The question whether taxonomic descriptions naming new animal species without type specimen(s) deposited in collections should be accepted for publication by scientific journals and allowed by the Code has already been discussed in Zootaxa.
Journal ArticleDOI

Discovery of the world's highest-dwelling mammal.

TL;DR: A scientific mountaineering expedition to survey the high-altitude rodent fauna of Volcán Llullaillaco in the Puna de Atacama of northern Chile captures a specimen of the yellow-rumped leaf-eared mouse that represents an altitudinal world record for mammals, far surpassing all specimen-based records from the Himalayas and other mountain ranges.
Journal ArticleDOI

Description of a new shrew of the genus Cryptotis (Mammalia: Soricomorpha: Soricidae) from the Sierra de Aroa, an isolated mountain range in northwestern Venezuela, with remarks on biogeography and conservation

TL;DR: The clear morphological differentiation of the new species with respect to its Andean relatives suggests that its ancestors colonized the Sierra de Aroa several glacial maxima ago, when montanevegetation belts were lower than today.

A new species of Cryptotis (Mammalia, Eulipotyphla, Soricidae) from the Sierra de Perijá, Venezuelan-Colombian Andes

TL;DR: The Sierra de Perijá population of small-eared shrews is described as a new species in the predominantly South American C. thomasi species group, and it is revealed that they possess a unique suite of morphological and morphometrical characters.
