[Taxacom] Top 10 Species Nominations Deadline!

[Kenneth Kinman]

Hi Mary,
      I'm pretty sure you meant that the March 25th deadline was for
nominations of the top 10 Species for 2011 (not 2010).  However, I
wonder if the nominations are restricted to living species only (or are
new fossil species also allowed as potential candidates?).

It?s that time of year again!  Nominations for the Top 10 Species ( 
http://species.asu.edu/Top10) for 2010 will close on *March 25th*. Last 
year, the Top 10 received excellent PR (including a top 10 Tweets and
many stories in magazines, newspapers, and radio), and the same response
is anticipated this year.  The "Top 10 Species" draws attention to
biodiversity, taxonomy, exploration, and our planet.

*If you want to nominate a new species*, send your nomination directly
to Sara Pennak at IISE (Sara.Pennak at asu.edu 
<mailto:Sara.Pennak at asu.edu><Sara.Pennak at asu.edu> ). 
In your nomination, please include (1) why you are nominating the new
species; and (2) a link to the pdf where the species was described (or
at least the first author's name). Please send nominations to Sara *by
March 
25.* 
For some interesting biodiversity stats, take a look at the State of the
Observed Species (SOS) Report for 2011 ( 
http://timgostony.com/iisetemp/SOS2011_FINALr.pdf) at and the
Retrospective 
for the decade (http://timgostony.com/iisetemp/RetroSOS__FINAL.pdf).
These 
are produced each year in conjunction with the Top 10 New Species. 
Sincerely,
