🇽🇰 In a series of #caddisfly discoveries from Kosovo, described in our #Biodiversity #Data #Journal, Halil Ibrahimi points to #species #conservation as "a crucial step toward sustaining the #ecological integrity.” 🗞️ In a new story, BBC Wildlife Magazine reports on the latest #species described in #BiodiversityDataJournal: Tinodes lumbardhi, which was found in Kosovo’s Bjeshkët e Nemuna National Park: https://lnkd.in/dAqdWY2e Last year, Ibrahimi's team discovered a caddisfly species they described as Potamophylax #kosovaensis. Found in a region already known for its ecological significance, the species was considered #endangered right away. Find more about it on our blog: https://lnkd.in/dTaz5tJm Back in 2020, the team named another previously unknown caddisfly species from Kosovo after the Coronovirus in an attempt to bring attention to “another silent pandemic occurring on freshwater organisms in Kosovo’s rivers.” See more: https://lnkd.in/dnF95Nsn #entomology #taxonomy #insectsicence #scholarlypublishing #scicomm #scholcomm #openaccess
