I'm done with Europe & now I'm off to New Guinea & the adjacent Papuan islands (& it's only week 2 of #MelbourneLockdown). Soon all these beautiful species descriptions/illustrations will have DOIs #RetroPIDs. https://t.co/rALPHdfXOn (Gould 1875-88) @BioDivLibrary @SILibraries

The Great Auk "is found in abundance along the rugged coasts of Labrador...and we may conclude that its range is extended throughout the whole of the arctic circle." (Gould 1837). By ~1850, this abundant species was extinct. https://t.co/VvMeSfiv7g via @BioDivLibrary @SILibraries

Or, if you'd prefer to wallow in the blues, here's a Blue Thrush (Le Merle bleu), a Blue Tit (La Mésange bleue) & a Blue-throated Warbler (Le Bec-fin gorge bleue).

If you're feeling blue about the now-extended #MelbourneLockdown, here's a pink flamingo (Le Flamant) to cheer you up. I'm now working on v.4 of Gould's "Birds of Europe". The stunning plates are lifting my spirits. DOIs to come. #RetroPIDs https://t.co/RR2i7vTV9L @BioDivLibrary

Every species description in every volume of Gould's The Birds of Australia now has a DOI, a unique identifier enabling the persistent linking, sharing, citing & tracking of this spectacular content. @BioDivLibrary @atlaslivingaust @CrossrefOrg https://t.co/Czm2LSxIWQ #RetroPIDs

The 1794 species descriptions from The Zoology of New Holland (the 1st book of Australian animals) now have DOIs & are part of the great linked network of scholarly research! #RetroPIDs

Hot off the DOI press: every species description in "A specimen of the Botany of New Holland", the first published book on the flora of Australia (1793-5), now has a DOI & is thus persistently discoverable, citable & trackable (📗 digitised for @BioDivLibrary by @HarvardLibrary)
