Each different Hylomys species appears to live in a slightly different habitat—some in lowland forests and some at higher altitudes.
Finding animals that are the result of millions of years of evolution and are unique to one area of tropical forest, said Dr. Hinckley, “is a bit like the inclusion of a Picasso in an art gallery or the discovery of an archaeological site in a city.”.
“It gives these places additional value, and hopefully funding to protect such an important heritage.”
The discovery is published in the Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society.
