Scientists have described a new land snail species, Acinolaemus altus, from Myanmar. The finding was published in the open-access journal ZooKeys, with the species treatment made freely available through the Plazi research platform. The discovery highlights Myanmar's understudied mollusc biodiversity and adds to the growing Acinolaemus genus. Researchers and biodiversity observers have been sharing the news, praising the open-access publication and FAIR data practices that make the description freely accessible to the scientific community.
Why now: The description of a new species in a biodiverse, under-researched country draws attention from the biodiversity and taxonomy community.
