“…When describing new species, it is worth acknowledging that local people are often familiar with their biology, behavior, meaning, value, uses, and other aspects long before they are described for science ( 61 – 64 ). Including local names, terms, and knowledge ( 65 – 67 ), and/or working directly with local communities to select new species names ( 68 ), are simple ways to honor and integrate communities with scientific pursuits and to generate local pride and awareness that can dovetail with conservation efforts ( 69 ). Reviewers and editors of manuscripts describing new species can suggest incorporating local knowledge if such data are not already included.…”

Field biology is an area of research that involves working directly with living organisms in situ through a practice known as “fieldwork.” Conducting fieldwork often requires complex logistical planning within multiregional or multinational teams, interacting with local communities at field sites, and collaborative research led by one or a few of the core team members. However, existing power imbalances stemming from geopolitical history, discrimination, and professional position, among other factors, perpetuate inequities when conducting these research endeavors. After reflecting on our own research programs, we propose four general principles to guide equitable, inclusive, ethical, and safe practices in field biology: be collaborative, be respectful, be legal, and be safe. Although many biologists already structure their field programs around these principles or similar values, executing equitable research practices can prove challenging and requires careful consideration, especially by those in positions with relatively greater privilege. Based on experiences and input from a diverse group of global collaborators, we provide suggestions for action-oriented approaches to make field biology more equitable, with particular attention to how those with greater privilege can contribute. While we acknowledge that not all suggestions will be applicable to every institution or program, we hope that they will generate discussions and provide a baseline for training in proactive, equitable fieldwork practices.

Although many field biologists already structure their field programs around these principles or similar values, executing equitable research practices can prove challenging and requires careful consideration, especially by those in positions with relatively greater privilege. Based on experiences and input from a diverse group of global collaborators, we provide suggestions for action-oriented approaches to making field biology more equitable under these guidelines, with particular attention to how those with greater privilege can contribute. While we acknowledge that not all suggestions will be applicable to every institution or program, we hope that they will generate discussions and provide a baseline for training in proactive, equitable fieldwork practices.

“…Our molecular analysis relied on comparisons of two genetic markers, 16S and COI , which are consistently used across systematic studies of amphibians (e.g., Acosta-Galvis et al, 2020 ; Batista et al, 2014a , 2014b , 2014c ; Chambers & Hebert, 2016 ; Jorge et al, 2020 ; Lötters et al, 2011 ; Nagy et al, 2012 ; Vieites et al, 2009 ). The K2P genetic distance of Atelopus fronterizo sp.…”
