@amcuervo That paper is otherwise pretty cool. Too bad they didn't remove the sp. description and submit that separately in a proper avian taxonomy journal. Also, the diagnosis doesn't really fit ICZN Article 13.1.1 and 13A & 13B, in my view. :-)

Of course #Colombia is a global biodiversity hotspot! 🌿 🌸 🌳 🌾 🌴 🌱 Unfortunately it's also one of the globe's darkest of the "darkspots" of botany = areas predicted to have many undescribed species & named species not yet georeferenced. @MHNuniandes @ICNUNAL @inst_humboldt
Here we unveil 33 global priorities for plant collecting where current evidence suggests there will be most scientific discoveries. #biodiversity #conservation

@ColombianMaps Fascinating that official #Bogotá maps always put east “up” (north to the left). I guess when they were printed, people liked their paper ‘landscape’ not ‘portrait’? Do other oblong-shaped cities do this?
