The “Our Planet Reviewed” Mitaraka 2015 expedition: a full account of its research outputs after six years and recommendations for future surveys

“…From these data of the period prior to the survey (e.g. 2003-2013, analysed by Brûlé & Touroult 2014, it is possible to compare the production of new species in the 5.5 years period between July 1, 2015 December 31, 2020 and to infer the proportion that can be directly assigned to the Mitaraka survey (i.e. species described on the basis of Mitaraka 2015 survey specimens only).…”
