//first impression: nEW PERSON WHAT DO now: hhh cute as heckie and really cool too. also cloneslash. hhhhhh
//insert blushy picture bc i switched to mobile//OKAY YES BUT FLORRIE YOU HAVE ALWAYS BEEN ONE OF MY SENPAIS LIKE *fans self* ur too cute tho. also yes cloneslash. and Zoclone in general.
Damn, how does one get into the business of describing new species? And new species of vertebrates, no less! Do you do the field work portion of said business as well? There's definitely still a ten-year-old inside me who just wants to romp around the jungles hunting for undescribed species of bugs and birds.
It is not exactly easy. it helps to have a specific focus - a group of animals that one knows particularly well, and to know the scientists at the top of that particular field. But generally I think if you are really that interested in taxonomy, and you are at least relatively close to an active research museum/natural history collection where there are some taxonomists at work, if you show genuine interest and knowledge of the taxa they are working on, it should be possible to make yourself opportunities to start describing species with carefully worded emails to the right people. (it helps to really like bugs, because the number of vertebrate taxonomists is pretty low in comparison, and there is no guarantee that your local museum is going to be working on any new vertebrate species)
I have not yet done any of the collecting work for my taxonomic research, but that will change relatively soon.
New birds are extremely rare to find, but new species of bugs can basically be found wherever you go if you know where and especially how to look.
The really hard thing with taxonomy is finding the funding to do it. There is no easy way to get around that problem. buggirl has had fantastic success funding her taxonomic project on the spiders of Yasuni through crowd funding (congrats, Andrea for reaching your goal!), and I like to imagine that I too might have similar results when it comes to my time to do the same, but we will see.

The tiniest bit of small broke the frown that had been on the brunet's face all day, due to the machines giving him problems, a hand reaching up from its place at his side to feel the flower Lalna had just tucked behind his ear.
"Thank you for the flower, although I didn't take you as the kind of person to do this..."

Hey, in regards to your recently posted coolness on wing (re)assembly, I thought you might be interested to know that scientists working on bird wings (like the ones in my flight lab) have a special method for preparing feathers exactly as they occur naturally on the wing. Essentially they remove the feathers along with tendons, fat and skin, then carefully remove the tendons and fat until only feathers and skin remain. These are then dried in position and need no other form of preservation.
Also, sometimes we want to model an entire wing in the wind tunnel or something like that. It’s actually far easier to prepare the whole wing, rather than just the flight feathers. Essentially, you cut the bone in the middle of the humerus, remove all the muscle left on the humerus (and probably some tertials and scaps; for big birds, you also remove the humerus’s “marrow”), then pin it into the position you want (gliding, stooping, folded, spread, etc.) and let it dry for a few days. Bam! Wing!
Oh wow. That’s amazing and absolutely fascinating :’D Thankyou for sharing!
I’d love to have a go at preparing a wing like that (although I do hope it wouldn’t have to involve some poor garden bird meeting an unfortunate end).
Also wow that link to wing photos off your blog sidebar is cool as heck.
Everyone look at these cool wing pictures.
