A new integrative #taxonomy study revisits the classification of 𝘚𝘱𝘰𝘯𝘨𝘪𝘱𝘩𝘰𝘳𝘢 𝘭𝘦𝘸𝘪𝘴𝘪, a large #earwig with a unique association with the #fungus 𝘊𝘳𝘺𝘱𝘵𝘰𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘶𝘴 𝘷𝘰𝘭𝘷𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘴.
Morphological, genetic and developmental evidence supports reinstating it as 𝘚𝘱𝘰𝘯𝘨𝘰𝘷𝘰𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘹 𝘭𝘦𝘸𝘪𝘴𝘪: doi.org/10.3897/zook...
Then it turns out (after further analysis and comparison and checking old literature not yet digitized), that it should be described as a new species, one that was collected decades earlier and has been hidden in a collection waiting for a taxonomist to discover it. #newspecies #taxonomy
Two new #flatworm species have been described - 𝘊𝘳𝘺𝘱𝘵𝘰𝘱𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘶𝘴 𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘴 and 𝘓𝘪𝘮𝘯𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘢 𝘰𝘣𝘴𝘤𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘳𝘪𝘥𝘪𝘴 - reviving genera not reported for nearly a century.

In March’s blog, I consider how straying from taxonomy design best practices can lead to foundationally unsound semantic models. #taxonomy

Graph databases are changing how we think about data. It's not just about storing information. It is about understanding how everything connects. When you layer in taxonomies and explainable AI, those connections become actually useful. #ExplainableAI #KnowledgeGraphs #Taxonomy
We are drowning in data but still questioning if we can trust it. Other countries are treating data quality like a national priority. The U.S. is still piecing it together. Better systems, smarter standards and solid taxonomy are not optional anymore. #DataQuality #Taxonomy
