It is not every day that a new vertebrate species is discovered! Many congratulations to authors Rodet Rodriguez-Silva, Patricia Torres-Pineda and James on this fruitful Caribbean collaboration, which was published this week in the journal Zootaxa. The work was funded by the National Geographic Society and the Caribaea Initiative.
Fantastic to see James using the skills acquired during his Masters fieldwork to expand our knowledge of Caribbean biodiversity - which of course is the first step towards effectively conserving it.
Looking forward to many more exciting discoveries and achievements from James, as he embarks on his PhD at the Université des Antilles.
