Lepidothelphusa menneri n. sp. (Crustacea: Brachyura: Gecarcinucidae), first record of the genus from Kalimantan, Indonesia
The gecarcinucid freshwater crab genus, Lepidothelphusa Colosi, 1920, is known only from Sarawak in northern Borneo, with six recognised species i.e. Lepidothelphusa cognettii (Nobili, 1903); L. flavochela Grinang & Ng, 2015; L.doi.org
New species concept just dropped ... no, wait, it actually seems useful. Wayne Maddison & Jeannette Whitton published in @SystBiol's #DiamondOA BSSB so it's free to read and free to authors. Even if the concept itself doesn't take off, I think lots of lectures are going to use the figures and ideas.

The Species as a Reproductive Community Emerging From the Past
Biologists and philosophers of science have been unable to fully resolve the decades-long controversy as to what kind of unit of living biodiversity should receive the valued label “species”: reproductive communities (among sexual organisms), genealo…ssbbulletin.org

Very happy to share our new publication in PLOS ONE:
KIPEs3: Automatic annotation of biosynthesis pathways

Flavonoids and carotenoids are pigments involved in stress mitigation and numerous other processes. Both pigment classes can contribute to flower and fruit coloration.doi.org
Psst -- look whose article made its way into the Communications of the @ACM...

New study: "We find that scientists are overwhelmingly (95%) failing to publish their #code and that there has been no significant improvement over time, but we also find evidence that code sharing can considerably improve #citations, particularly when combined with #OpenAccess publication."

Code sharing increases citations, but remains uncommon
Biologists increasingly rely on computer code, reinforcing the importance of published code for transparency, reproducibility, training, and a basis for further work.www.researchsquare.com
Hi again #Mastodon!
I joined the fediverse when a lot of my community had not migrated from the bird site, so could only partially reconstruct it here using automated tools. If I followed you there and don’t here, say hi and let’s reconnect!
For those who don’t know me, I am a #virologist by training with almost 20 years of experience as a #science #editor, a passion for #microbiology and all science really, #OpenScience #openaccess & people
Have a lovely day everyone
This is how you do #openaccess:
"At an estimated cost of €30 (US$34) per publication, Psicológica can increase its output without incurring substantial extra costs."
Why we think every scholarly organization, but in particular scholarly societies, should not just migrate to #Mastodon, but host their own instances - and what that has to do with the journals many scholarly societies use to generate revenue:
The US National Science Foundation (#NSF) just released the draft update to its #OpenAccess policy, as requested by the #Biden #OSTP (#NelsonMemo).
https://nsf-gov-resources.nsf.gov/2023-06/NSF23104.pdf
I'm digesting it now but wanted it to share first.
Tho released today, it's dated Feb 23, 2023. (Why?)
Some of the #publishers fighting #BookBans and celebrating #PrideMonth are also suing the @internetarchive. "If anything, Pride Month should be the moment in which publishers join librarians in their efforts to make as much knowledge as available as possible to as many people as possible. #OpenAccess is thus an essential tool in the fight for #LGBTQIA+ rights and minority rights in general."

Kudos to the Royal Astronomical Society (@royalastrosoc) for converting all its #journals to #OpenAccess, starting in 2024 — and for having a #Mastodon account.

Interesting #paper on the availability of #statistical #code in European Urology papers. And a checklist to get us all thinking about how good the code we share is.
thanks for finding and posting it first @MarkKelson
