This calendar month , Stanley Kubrick joins the long tilt of celebrities who have had a new species of plant or creature named in their honor . Beyonce has theScaptia beyonceae , a golden - canted horse tent-fly . Hugh Hefner , theSylvilagus palustris hefneri – a bunny because of course . And Obama , who has had not one , butnine dissimilar speciesnamed after him , including a small , chunky beaked bird that go in the Amazonian rainforest ( Nystalus obamai ) and a now - nonextant infantry - farseeing lizard that roamed ancient North America ( Obamadon gracilis )
So what lucky animal shares a name with the prestigious filmmaker ? One of two fresh discovered tree salientian discovered in the Amazon Basin of Bolivia , Peru , and Brazil – a neighborhood that containsthe highest diversity of amphibious speciesin the reality .
Both frogs had previously been wrong identified as an entirely different but superficially monovular species ( theSarayacu treefrogorDendropsophus parviceps ) in what must be the most shameful instance of stolen identity since " Single White Female " .
The batrachian were at long last recognized as a new specie after a team of scientist take apart hereditary , structural , and bioacoustic data on Amazonian treefrogs . Their research is published in the Open Access journalZooKeys .
The first was key out kamagarini , which translates into English as “ demon ” or “ ogre ” , due to the horn - same bulge on its upper eyelids . Kamagarini comes from the Matsigenka language , talk by an autochthonic universe living in an area of south - easterly Peru closemouthed to the Brazilian and Bolivian borders .
Kubrick ’s tree salientian ( orDendropsophus kubricki , if you want to go by its scientific name ) is so advert because of the characteristic shiny orange blotches on each one of its legs and the Stanley Kubrick classic " A Clockwork Orange"(1971 ) .
The film was based on Anthony Burgess ' dystopian novel of the same name published in 1962 . Explaining why he had chosen the title " A Clockwork Orange " , Burgess articulate : “ I ’ve entail the junction of the organic fertilizer , the vital , the angelical – in other words , living , the orange – and the mechanical , the cold , the discipline … "
" Without make out , he was also giving a good metaphor to describe ecosystems , " the researchers explain in astatement . " Nature work as the interplay between life history and its frigid , mechanical , and condition physical matrix . "
And , of path , the frog ’s almost orbitual orange markings vaguely resemble the “ orangish pieces of nature ” . Ok , so the metaphor might be a slight stretch , but it ’s a still a great protection toone of the most legendary filmmakersof the 20th century .
