☆ Naming a species after a celebrity may do more harm than good
  + stars: | 2023-11-12 | by ( Jenny Mcgrath | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +10 min
But it's very difficult to change a species' scientific name, and that can lead to regrets. The list of species named for celebrities is lengthy and includes everything from flies (Beyoncé) to lichen (Oprah Winfrey) to lizards (Lionel Messi). An eponym is a scientific species name based on a person, either real or fictional. AdvertisementAdvertisementUniversity of Oxford biologist Katie Blake and her co-authors found that species with celebrity names had almost three times as many page views on Wikipedia as non-famously monikered control species. AdvertisementAdvertisementSome examples include Adolf Hitler, Cecil Rhodes, and George Hibbert, all of whom have species named after them.

☆ Scientists named a new snail after Jimmy Buffet's song 'Margaritaville' because it doesn't move but is somehow bright yellow
  + stars: | 2023-10-10 | by ( Rebecca Cohen | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +2 min
The bright yellow snail inspired its name Cayo margarita — a nod to Jimmy Buffet's song "Margaritaville." Scientists aren't sure why the snail is so yellow but think it may be a defense mechanism. AdvertisementAdvertisementScientists discovered a mysterious new species of sea snail in the Florida Reef, and named it as a tribute to Jimmy Buffet's famous song "Margaritaville." The new species is called "Cayo margarita," according to a paper published by a group of scientists in Peer J journal. But, strangely, when fish approached the bright snail, they didn't eat it.

See what it's like to vacation on its cruise line and at some of its resorts and RV parks. A hotel room at Camp Margaritaville RV Resort and Lodge in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. Now, there are Margaritaville hotels in what seems like almost every major vacation destination in the US from San Diego, California to Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Brittany Chang/InsiderThe first Camp Margaritaville RV resort — which focuses on "upscale camping" — opened in Georgia in 2019 as a "surprise" hit, Jim Wiseman, the president of development at Camp Margaritaville, told Insider in 2021. To create this floating Margaritaville hotel, the brand refurbished the over 30-year-old flagship vessel of budget cruise line Bahamas Paradise Cruise Line, which has since rebranded to Margaritaville at Sea.
