The May 2026 issue of the Zoologica Scripta (55:3) compiles exciting papers on animal taxa ranging from varunid crabs to the Bar-tailed Lark. The featured paper by da Zhao et al. uses degraded genetic material from museum specimens and addresses various methodological issues.
Enjoy the reading.
Just finished 'Irans moderne historie' by Hulda Kjeang Mørk. An easy to read introduction that I can highly recommend to those that wish to learn more about the country than what we use to hear in the day to day news. (the book is in Norwegian)
