“With the present RITHM of 1,500 #species identified a year, it would be necessary about 8 CENTURIES to complete the INVENTORY of our #biodiversity” Lewinsohn & Prado, 2005

That if ALL #taxonomists would be dedicated ONLY to the description of NEW #species.

Only in #Brazil, the number of UNKNOWN #species for some taxa varies from 10ths to hundreds of thousands. Even the MOST CAUTION estimates indicates that there are 7-fold more species TO BE described than the already known 200,000 ones.

According to the Barcode of #life initiative, given the REDUNDANCY among #taxonomists, we would need at least 12.000 professionals just to DESCRIBE new #species and get to know all the #biodiversity on the #planet.

According to the Global #Taxonomy Initiative there are, today, all over the world, in between 5 and 7 thousand professional #taxonomists, capable of identifying, each, about 1,000 known #species.

There are NOT enough #taxonomists in the #world to describe ALL the #species that we DON’T know. Thread 🧵👇

#coherence is an #statistical concept: If A is > than B, and B is > than C. Then, by coherence, A is > than C. #Humans, however, may not be coherent. You may prefere wine 🍷 over beer 🍻 and beer over whisky 🥃, but prefere whisky over wine. Go figure… #science #behavior #mind

We WORK in our #MIND!
While at my MSc at @FURG I overheard prof Elton Colares say to an #undergraduate #student: “Despite what it may seem, a #scientist’s work is NOT done at the BENCH. A scientist’s work is about READING and WRITING.”
It’s about THINKING!
