The secret species of New Guinea
More than 1,000 new species have been discovered in the forests, wetlands and waters of New Guinea over the last ten years, according to report released this week from the conservation organization WWF. The newly-described species include 218 plants, 580 invertebrates, 71 fishes, 134 amphibians, 43 reptiles, 2 birds and 12 mammals. We've pulled out a few photo samples.
A monitor lizard discovered on tiny islands off the Vogelkop (Bird's Head) Peninsula of Papua in Indonesia is pictured here. Along with this and other discoveries, researchers say that their list of lizards and other new species from the region may even go higher as several new species already have been found but are awaiting further analysis and official scientific descriptions

As for food, less sea ice is projected to reduce krill, the shrimplike invertebrates that penguins rely on. Could Emperor penguins adapt by moving to dry land? Two colonies do live on land and have remained stable over 20 years, the IUCN says,
Trout can significantly impact our native fish, amphibians and invertebrates. As trout expand to new streams and rivers, actively aided by one body under statute, they squeeze native species habitat to less preferred areas or water bodies.
In September, the commission directed staff to examine the 61 fish, invertebrates, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals on the state's list of protected species, and closely review those that had not been studied in the past decade.
In all, only 1 percent of the world's invertebrates have been assessed: from 39 percent of the world's corals to 0.03 percent of the world's spiders. Researchers have assessed over 3000 insects, the most numerous life forms described on Earth,
Oregon Invasive Species: Spiders from Spain and Other Thoughts
An email in my Inbox this week included a question about importing spiders from Spain! Are there any regulations? Is a permit required? I’ve handled some interesting questions, but never this particular one. Working through our partners at US Department of Agriculture (USDA), we asked for more information—always a good first step, especially in this case, where the desired species du jour was the Mediterranean recluse, There are a couple of interesting philosophical questions behind proposing regulations for non-native invertebrates. First, should the state use an “Approved List” or “Prohibited List” approach? An approved list would mean that species not on the list would be prohibited. A prohibited list would work the opposite way; only the species on the list would be prohibited—everything else would be allowed. In informal regulatory circles, these approaches are referred to as: “When in doubt, keep it out,” versus “Not a clue, let it through.” Anyone detect an echo of “Big Government” vs. “Personal Freedom?” Most government regulations in this arena use prohibited lists, e.g., Oregon’s noxious weed lists. If a plant isn’t on the list, you can import it, propagate it, and sell it. Oregon uses a different approach for birds, fish, mammals, and other vertebrates. If it’s not on Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife’s approved list (actually several lists for non-regulated, controlled, noncontrolled species), it’s prohibited. Here is the regulation: The Oregon Department of Agriculture (ODA) is proposing to use a similar approach for invertebrates, such as insects, centipedes, earthworms, etc. We think it makes sense to publish an approved list of the invertebrates that are used for pet food, classrooms projects, biological control, etc. These would not require a permit. Odd balls like spiders from Spain would require a permit. That would give ODA the ability to assess the risk of a proposed introduction and deny the request or impose safeguards if there is a risk of the species becoming a problem. The second big question we’re wrestling with is where to draw the line on what species to include in the regulation. Should we focus just on agricultural pests, just insects, or every little critter that walks on the land or flies through the air? What about bees, spiders, millipedes, mites, earthworms, and nematodes? I have personally handled requests for bees from China, earthworms from Belgium, lightning bugs from North Carolina, and snails from California. The reality is we live in a global market that includes trade in all sorts of live animals. (1) A disease, microscopic organism, insect, nematode, arthropod, parasite or a noxious weed as defined in ORS 569.175, capable of having a significant adverse effect on the environmental quality of the state or of causing a significant level of economic damage in this state, including but not limited to damage to agricultural, horticultural or forest plants, crops, commodities or products; and (2) Any biotic agent identified in an order or rule of the State Department of Agriculture as capable of having a significant adverse effect on the environmental quality of the state, or of causing a significant level of economic damage in this state, including but not limited to damage to agricultural, horticultural or forest plants, crops, commodities or products.
