Spida of Love

Systematics makes The Colbert Report.



The paper describing Aptostichus stephencolbertio by Jason Bond and Amy Stockman has been published in Systematic Biology doi:10.1080/10635150802302443. Jason described also described Aptostichus angelinajolieae in the same paper, but I guess she is otherwise engaged.

Amber spider

Really just a shameless attempt to get one over David Shorthouse, but there has been some buzz about Very High Resolution X-Ray Computed Tomography (VHR-CT) of a fossil of Cenotextricella simon.


The paper describing the work is in Zootaxa (link here). Zootaxa is doing great things for taxonomic publishing, but they really need to get some sort of stable identifier set up. Linking to ZooTaxa articles is not straightforward. If they had DOIs (or even OpenURL access) they wuld make it much easier for people to convert lists of papers that include ZooTaxa publications to lists of resolvable links.
