Emphasis is more on new discoveries now than ever - and your example of this amazing beetle brilliantly highlights the issue at hand - where do we have access to grants to find what we've lost, on the other hand, we have people bidding on discovering a new species in-their-name. Thank you for sharing this paper! This ground beetle, I hope, resurrects as a Lazarus species. :)Aniruddha Dhamorikarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04353702396880646873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126865061920461436.post-47012785033000857842019-05-07T16:20:31.326+05:302019-05-07T16:20:31.326+05:30Gosh, I thought I had responded to this Aniruddha ...Gosh, I thought I had responded to this Aniruddha but it seems it did not appear!

With more and more preference given to 'new discoveries' we sure as hell are not worried about what happens to a certain species post-discovery - what a classic example(s) you have shared, Shyamal! As always, a captivating read. I wish I could join you in the hunt for the flight-less ground beetle!Aniruddha Dhamorikarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04353702396880646873noreply@blogger.com
