Talking with a student this morning about taxonomy, nomenclature, and the ICZN, which lead to this semi-regular reminder that @Nature published the formal taxonomic description of the Loch Ness Monster in 1975. https://t.co/YPu4l1P8xL
A teacher at my secondary school took early retirement to look for the Loch Ness monster. It is why theh stopped teaching classics. He had helped come up with the Latin name for the monster Nessiteras rhombopteryx. https://t.co/O9KGAxSYIy

Whoa! In 1975, @Nature published this article about the taxonomic classification of the Loch Ness Monster. "The food of Nessiteras rhombopteryx is probably mainly fish, including salmon." https://t.co/G4n3F2UidF https://t.co/LQJOEn7GEz
@ImmunoCatAccnt The "Surgeon's photo" of Loch Ness (published in 1934), which was ultimately a fake, but was also the subject of a Nature paper in 1975 https://t.co/0lWvqSF9lS For those upset @Nature won't publish your work https://t.co/5TNe3ffVY8
classic high-quality Nature paper https://t.co/mjKws4obrq
https://t.co/FBuwv7PUDp 'Nessiteras rhombopteryx' That isn't an anagram for 'Monster Hoax by Sir Peters S' There aren't enough letters and the journalist who stated even Sir Peter thought the Robert Rines photos were fakes was probably a Mason.

Naming the Loch Ness monster https://t.co/G6bqm5JlHM
Yes, this happened. But when someone worked out that the "scientific" name was an anagram of "Monster hoax by Sir Peter S." - the naturalist admitted it was all a joke. Bloody good anagram, though, and plausibly explained with Greek references.
It’s true! https://t.co/dgUzGDoLFr
@Bob_Fischer @forteantimes @nature And I just noticed that the Nessiteras rhombopteryx paper was published almost exactly 45 years ago today https://t.co/wEkyqvZc65
Astonishing: the Loch Ness monster's scientific name was worth a @Nature publication?! Wtf, I am seriously reconsidering now to rewrite my thesis as a fairy tale... https://t.co/TxrDe0bXIJ
Wer glaubt, das Loch Ness Monster hätte keinen offiziellen Namen irrt. Es gibt dazu sogar eine Nature-Publikation aus dem Jahr 1975. Wer wissen will, was es damit auf sich hat, hört weiter »Zukunft denken« und freut sich auf das Gespräch mit Prof. Zachos
@TerribleLagarto I'm sorry, but don't you mean Nessiteras rhombopteryx https://t.co/Mr3Ekmr5FE
@hammerheadbat Better safe than sorry ;) https://t.co/WTKT4Ij2F0
Culminating in a some exiting photos; a planned symposium in Edinburgh (of zoologists, conservation orgs and policy makers); and a @nature paper proposing Nessie a scientific name: Nessiteras rhombopteryx, 'Ness wonder with a diamond fin.' https://t.c
A good place to look for anomalies is in NATURE. Consider this article about the Loch Ness monster in this esteemed journal - 1975. #nature #lochness #science https://t.co/4b3eAn8E6A
@dfburr @DunsPitcus @CaityJMcK https://t.co/G6bqm5JlHM My Latin teacher was Alan Wilkins and he knew Peter Scott
The day you find an article on nature where authors show the "concluding" evidence about the existence of the Loch Ness monster, propose a scientific name and even describe the morphology of the species. 😂 https://t.co/OjCdybP0GT https://t.co/2FE9Pyc0vn

@orchiddelirium @DanChallender It's obvious the MP hasn't got more pressing matters or the heat has gone to their head! Maybe we could get the Loch Ness monster added to the list although it may already be projected see https://t.co/P34UPZyZH0
@JordanCollver @mark_carnall @TetZoo If you're looking for a fun example, I recommend this paper, published in Nature (yes, that Nature) describing the Loch Ness Monster from "photos" – https://t.co/AfXXKAO4Mm
@ee_gutierrez @schatzimanolis @IDoubtIt Nessie also has been given a scientific name: https://t.co/3XkL9Nz5lg that doesn’t mean the #ICZN @ZooNom or anyone else has to pay any attention to it
@Endy_Snow Nessiteras rhombopteryx no existe?? qué le pasa a la gente??? https://t.co/pv2HFwCBJm
