Feeling very honored to have a new species to science named after me, w/ a specimen I collected in 1995 as type specimen, & stoked it's a pepper plant (#Piper), a beautiful group of mainly #understory #plants🙂🍃🌎onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111… #Yasuni #Ecuador #biodiversity #NewSpecies
Warm congratulations to #botanists William Trujillo & Henrik Balslev on this taxonomic discovery - & warm thanks for the gracious recognition! 🙂🍃
@JCSvenning Dr Svenning congratulations!!!!! You must post a picture of the Piper soon. What's the species?
@JCSvenning Yet another deserved accomplishment. Congrats @JCSvenning
@JCSvenning I'll keep my eyes open for Piper svenningii next time I visit Yasuní. Congrats!
@JCSvenning Having your name given to a new species for science is certainly one of the largest honors I could imagine. Congratulations to the botanists and you! Piper species are so difficult!!
