A group of scientists have named a newly-discovered species of millipede after Taylor Swift.

In a tweet on Saturday (April 16), Dr. Derek Hennen shared the names of some of the 17 species (loài) of the insect (côn trùng) that he and his Virginia Tech team – Drs. Jackson Means and Paul Marek – had shared in a new paper published by ZooKeys.

Discovered in the US state of Tennessee, the Nannaria swiftae – or Swift Twisted-Claw Millipede – was ascribed (đổ tại, đổ cho; gán cho, quy cho) the name by Hennen because he is a big fan (người hâm mộ) of Swift.

“I wanted to show my appreciation by naming this new species from Tennessee after her,” Hennen wrote, “A high honor!”

Per Rolling Stone, Hennen elaborated (nói thêm chi tiết): “Her music helped me get through the highs and lows of graduate school (đại học), so naming a new millipede species after her is my way of saying thanks.”

Hennen explained in his Twitter that he and the other scientists had spent five years searching for the millipedes in the Appalachian Mountains. So far, the Nannaria swiftae has only been discovered in Tennessee, Swift’s home state.
