Lady Gaga found in the Costa Rica Paramo Forest

In the mist of the Costa Rica Paramo Forest at 10,938 ft. above sea level a unique fern species with its DNA code "GAGA" and its natural way to reproduce by spores that can become male, female or both, was discovered by Kathleen Pryer Biology Professor at Duke University and named after pop star singer Lady Gaga for her efforts to advance equality, respect to diversity as well as personal freedom.

Gaga germanotta is now a new species that joins and renames to "Gaga" the six unique ferns of Costa Rica: Gaga marginata, Gaga hirsuta, Gaga angustifolia, Gaga cuneata, Gaga harrisii and Gaga Kaulfussii.
