NelsoN F GomeS - Revisão Sistemática de Monodelphis AND MUCH MORE

"UM DOS" objetivos da criação deste BLOG.....foi fornecer uma atualização constante para o trabalho acima citado.
Este trabalho foi publicado em mídia eletrônica e distribuído para os principais Museus da Europa e Estados Unidos.
Vem sendo citado pelos mastozoólogos mais competentes e respeitosos dessa área.

.....Mas até hoje....alguns elementos de 5ª categoria, ainda me citam timidamente. 

Que falta de vergonha !

Gomes, N.F. 1991. Revisão Sistemática do gênero Monodelphis (Marsupialia).

I was the first to recognize M. glirina and "some elements" insist on not credit me. 

I was the first to recognize erythrism in adult old males of M. americana, but they paid no attention. 

I was the first to point out the dimorphism of M. scalops and the change of coat in adulthood. 

I build a phylogeny with solid foundations showing the importance of paedomorphosis as an evolutionary mechanism. 

I was also the first to recognize the affinities of M. dimidiata group (M.dimidiata and M. brevicaudis), 

I distinguish it from M. brevicaudata group, with which they were confused. Also detected the relationships between species M. amazonica and M. touan, respectively from right. and left. banks of the Amazon River. 

All without the MOLECULAR !

I showed the link between the evolution of biomes and biogeography of the genus Monodelphis. 

I associated this model to other phylogenies. 

I proposed a biogeographical GLOBAL model. 

.....and I described three new species! (YES I DO). 

NOW one MORE....

I rediscovered M. sorex (a synonym to M. dimidiata, but not to M. brevicaudis Olfers, 1818). 

Rational we are ? What is the right thing to DO ?
