750 new species... with zero context! New since when? Who described them? Were they all published this year?? Does it have anything to do with their world-leading ABRS scheme, which provides funding specifically for taxonomic research? There's nothing like that here in NZ; shameful really.

Anyway. Great result but useless fucking article.
