The New York singer joins the list of celebrities who are considered by scientists to baptize species discovered
Scientists at the University of Montenegro discovered a mite on the coral reef in the Mona Passage on the border between Puerto Rico and Dominican Republic.
Scientific discovery has caused a stir by the name chosen to christen the animal, 'Litarachna lopezae'. The name was chosen in honor of the singer Jennifer Lopez.
According to biologist Vladimir Pesic, author of the published study, it was very easy to make the decision to appoint thus mite.
"The reason behind the unusual choice of name for this new species is ... simple songs and videos J.Lo kept the team in a continuous good mood when writing the manuscript and saw the World Cup in 2014" Pesic, who works for the University of Montenegro said.
Pesic said that this is just a gesture of thanks to the singer to keep the mood in the team work through their songs and videos.
The species concerned were collected at a depth of nearly 70 meters during the period 2010 to 2012 also contributed research in the University of Puerto Rico and the Institute of Caribbean Coral Reefs.
J.Lo joins the list of celebrities who have given their name to dozens of agencies, such as Mick Jagger, Bono called Spider and the marine parasite named Bob Marley.
