Brogan Pett is our guests and he talks about his recent paper in which he and his coauthor describe a new species of spider from Madagascar in the March 14th issue of Zootaxa. Brogan is a doctoral researcher in the Centre for Ecology and Conservation at the University of Exeter in the UK. Additionally, Brogan serves as the research director of SpiDervERse, a workgroup of the Belgian nonprofit organization Biodiversity Inventory for Conservation (BINCO). We discuss these unique spiders, their less explored habitat, the incredible undescribed diversity of this group of spiders in Madagascar, ! The title of the paper is “A new species of Copa (Araneae: Corinnidae: Castianeirinae) from dry forests in the north west of Madagascar.” The paper is currently available here: https://www.mapress.com/zt/article/view/zootaxa.5115.2.7 To learn more about Brogan Pett, follow him on Twitter, @broganConBio, and follow the Biodiversity Inventory for Conservation (BINCO), @BINCOnpo.
