Just a fraction of the species on our planet are known to science, but more are described and published every day.

Join us on our journey to better understand the wonderful biodiversity of our planet!Be sure to follow New Species on Twitter (@PodcastSpecies), and support the podcast at https://www.patreon.com/NewSpeciesPod
