Salticid taxonomy and systematics for PhD and everything else about them for fun! Into natural history, Indian classical music, beers, and procrastination.

Iranattus rectangularis, known only from a male specimen from Iran, is now reported in India, including a female specimen. *(collage) figure from the paper.
Researchers redescribe two Iranattus species, placing the jumping spider genus in the subtribe Plexippina based on phylogenomic evidence. đź”— . #taxonomoy #Salticidae

I am convinced that the obsession with lawn grass in North America is an oil and gas lobby. The energy consumption involved in growing it and mowing it when it grows is redundant. And I’m not counting the energy used in processes surrounding the core objective!.

What a shame. There are many billion $$ to rage wars but the governments can’t afford few million $$ to support museums.
Duke's destroying a globally recognized generational legacy. I know 15 biology faculty and curators who trained at Duke's herbarium, just in my 10 years there. 2023's Climate Commitment "for life"? A budget is a moral document and Duke has shown its cards.
