An interesting scientific paper on #Gilliesieae (#Amaryllidaceae), which have a limited distribution in #Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, and Peru. The authors N. García and Miersia (2026) describe four #newspecies of genera #Gilliesia and #Miersia. All species are found only in specific regions of Chile and are therefore #endemic. The authors also amplified and sequenced #DNA sequences to reconstruct the #phylogenetic positions of the new species. #Biodiversityresearch

Some beautiful photos from #Christchurch #photographer https://PaulFrancis.nz which the lads bought and had framed at #VanUfflens as a 30th anniversary present for wifey and I. They’ve come out really well!

This is a weka, a flightless bird of NZ. They are cheeky birds and can be quite inquisitive.

I was today years old when I discovered that "Lumbricus badensis", europe's longest earthworm, endemic to the black forest in Germany, exists. There is even an discovery trek located on Belchen mountain about the species! Nature never ceases to amaze me 🙂 🪱
