Citizen scientists discover new 'snug' in Bru
Teams of citizen scientists on expeditions in the tropical rainforest of Brunei (Borneo) have discovered a new species of ‘semislug’. Working with the scientific travel agency Taxon Expeditions, they managed to study the specimens, even analyse their DNA, in a field camp in the heart of the forest. The new species, published this week in the Biodiversity Data Journal, has been named Microparmarion sallehi, after the field centre’s supervisor.
