Collaboration with ZooKeys ![]() ![]() A collaboration between Wikispecies and ZooKeys has been announced. PhytoKeys also joined the collaboration in November 2010. Images of species from ZooKeys and PhytoKeys will be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons and used in Wikispecies. Distinguished Author![]() José Vicente Barbosa du Bocage A Portuguese zoologist and politician. He was the curator of Zoology at the Museum of Natural History in Lisbon. His work at the Museum consisted in acquiring, describing and coordinating collections, many of which arrived from the Portuguese colonies in Africa, such as Angola, Mozambique, etc. He published more than 200 taxonomic papers on mammals, birds, and fishes. In the 1880s he became the Minister of the Navy and later the Minister for Foreign Affairs for Portugal. The zoology collection at the Lisbon Museum is called the Bocage Museum in his honor. He was responsible for identifying many new species, which he named according to the naturalist who found them. |
Species of the monthIsland FoxUrocyon littoralis (Baird, 1857) Some facts about this small caniform carnivoran:
An interesting phylogenetic detail about the Island fox – or rather Urocyon, the genus – is that whole genome sequencing (WGS) indicates that it's the most basal genus of all living canids. Fossils of their ancestors found in Kansas date to the Upper Pliocene (circa 2.6–3.6 million years ago), with some undescribed specimens dating even older. See Lindblad-Toh, K. et al. 2005.
