Seed bugs of the world, rejoice! One of the original "Species Files" has finished migrating to TaxonWorks and we've added a TaxonPages front-end to it.

#lygaeoidea, #taxonomy, #integrativeTaxonomy

My 5th paper of 2022 was an opinion led by Alireza Zamani, arguing against #MinimalistTaxonomy and for #IntegrativeTaxonomy, with specific reference to the recent work on Sharkey and colleagues on Braconid wasps.

I appear on the latest episode of the New Species Podcast, talking about the score of new frog species we described from Madagascar. This is #IntegrativeTaxonomy and #Museomics in action. Check it out:

#introduction
Hi everyone! 👋 First time I'm tooting!
I'm an Italian #entomologist doing my #PhD at the Institute of Evolutionary Biology #IBE in Barcelona.

I study the #diversity and #evolution of the European #ant fauna using #IntegrativeTaxonomy, #genetics (mainly #barcoding), and #genomics (#UCEs). I also work on #InvasiveAlienSpecies and #butterfly #phylogeography.

I love beer, #Rstats, maps, and turning over stones. Ah, I'm also an #iNaturalist addict!
