This is a favourite! As a small trivia, Descourtilz died and was burried in the very small city of "Riacho", in Espírito Santo, Brazil. The location of the grave is unknown, but I have this little impulse in me to go try and rediscover it. Who knows? morrodomoreno.com.br/materias/via...

Today I am adding Structured Data for Broinowski's The Birds of Australia! commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Categor... While our current focus is on South America and Africa, there is a decent amount of southern birds that are common to SA, AF and Australia, like the black-browed albatross.

Well, some may call my actions in regard to @inaturalist.bsky.social here a bit obsessive. I call it persistent. And dedicated. And fun. Oh, AND obsessive.

One thing @biodivlibrary.bsky.social is increasingly doing is becoming a home for "orphaned" journals (and their @crossref.bsky.social DOIs). Even major publications such as Mycotaxon can come to an end, which raises the question who looks after them one they stop publishing?
