New species endangered biological protection by "snow hiding"

In the high Himalayas, a faint yellow light flashed through Paul Egan's eyes. This poppy plant Egan finally discovered that in fact, this delay is not uncommon. A recent research report published in Contemporary Biology stated that on average, from the first discovery of a new species sample to the Descriptions of this species are published in the literature, often separated by more than 20 years. Researchers claim that even some organisms that have already collected samples have already become extinct before being included in the literature. To quantify the time between discovery and publication, the French National Museum of Natural History ecologist Beno? Fontaine and colleagues investigated 16,994 new species officially published in 2007. The researchers randomly selected 600 species for detailed analysis. It was found that these species were separated from the initial discovery and collection of samples to the official publication in the scientific literature, with an average interval of 21 years, with an intermediate value of 12 years. Fontaine calls this time difference the "idle period" of the species. Although the concept of a "idle period" of a species is not novel, it has never been quantitatively measured before. Quentin Wheeler, director of the International College of Species Discovery, Arizona State University, said that in fact, in the previous centuries Newly collected species will be routinely dust-covered for decades before they are written into papers.

Samples are collected and then brought back to the laboratory for research. The literature must be searched in detail to ensure that no one has defined this species before. They also have to go to different locations to test other species, or use DNA evidence to help determine the identity of potential new species. Various factors that may affect the “idle period” of the species were investigated. Since the average individual income is less than 35,000 US dollars, the "idle period" of new species discovered in the country is shorter. Also, the "idle period" of new aquatic species is significantly shorter than that of new terrestrial species. Some high impact factor journals do not often publish papers that simply describe new species. Therefore, a young researcher may choose to publish more complex, hypothesis-based papers in good journals in order to obtain a permanent position, and shelv some papers describing the findings for later publication. Due to the impact of human activities, the extinction rate of species has increased in recent years, and a species may become extinct within the "idle period", and some species are already on the verge of extinction when they are published.



Good grilling is like meditation. It is a whole-sensory experience that engages the senses and focuses the mind when done right. Sometimes, the process itself is even more important than the final product. When you have the right setup and Barbecue Tools, this process can take you back to times when life was more simple just. The right barbecue tools make a lot of difference when trying to get a great meal and cooking experience at the same time.
