We published a new study in npj Biodiversity showing how geopolitical inequalities continue to shape biodiversity documentation of new mammal species 🦇🐒🦥📚 🌐. Follow the thread 🧵(1/9)! @mmoroti.bsky.social @karolceron.bsky.social @natureportfolio.nature.com @agenciafapesp.bsky.social

Did you know? Many of our papers are #OpenAccess... ...Like this one!🔓 doi.org/10.1111/jse.... Moroti et al. report that historical shifts, geographic biases, and biological constraints shape #mammal species discovery. Read for 🆓 @wileyecology.bsky.social #systematics #biodiversity
Global distribution of mammal species described between 1990 and 2025. Each point on the map represents a species’ type locality, while donut charts indicate the proportion of species described within each taxonomic order. Points are colored according to their respective taxonomic order, with rodents in blue, bats in green, and the different shades of red representing other mammals.

I'm happy to be part of this Special Feature from @royalsocietypublishing. As a researcher from the Global South, I applaud this initiative and invite everyone interested to check out our paper on the geopolitical impacts on the description of new terrestrial mollusc species. Follow the thread! 🧵🌐
