I hope to get a few posts up in the next few weeks as I get a handle on some of the projects, <a href='http://www.biodiversityinfocus.com/blog/2012/01/30/mushroom-monday/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

That&#8217;s right, Ms. Sasha Fierce has been bestowed with the taxonomic honour of patronymy by Australian dipterists Bryan Lessard and David Yeates.

A new paper published Tuesday in PLoS ONE (Core et al, 2011) is certainly not helping this Detrimental Diptera Dillema (DDD), announcing that a species of scuttle fly (Phoridae) has been discovered parasitizing <a href='http://www.biodiversityinfocus.com/blog/2012/01/04/the-good-the-bad-and-the-zombees/'>[...]</a>]]></description>
