title: A new species of Gracixalus (Anura, Rhacophoridae) from Guangxi, China, with comments on the taxonomy of Orixalus

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Luo, Jiaqi, Zhang, Ben’an, Pan, Yuanqiang, Yu, Guohua (2025): A new species of Gracixalus (Anura, Rhacophoridae) from Guangxi, China, with comments on the taxonomy of Orixalus. Zoosystematics and Evolution 101 (1): 369-388, DOI: 10.3897/zse.101.135742AbstractA new treefrog of the genus Gracixalus, Gracixalus huaping sp. nov., is described based on the specimens collected from Huaping National Natural Reserve, Guangxi, China. Both maximum likelihood analysis and Bayesian inference found that the Huaping population formed a distinct lineage as sister to Gracixalus jinxiuensis. It was strongly supported that Gracixalus consists of four distinct clades. Morphological analysis suggested that the new species can be distinguished from other known congeners by a combination of the following morphological characters: size small, SVL 26.6–28.8 mm in males and 29.8–32.8 mm in females; vomerine teeth absent; dorsal surface yellowish brown; internal vocal sac and linea masculina present in males; vocal sac opening oval and rim of the opening dark brown; throat smooth; iris golden brown; flanks granular with white blotch. In addition, we agree that the genus Orixalus is a junior subjective synonym of Gracixalus and consider that more studies are needed to investigate the species diversity and taxonomy of genus Gracixalus.

title: Gelasia attariana (Scorzonerinae, Cichorieae, Asteraceae), a new species from NW of Iran, inferred from morphological and molecular data

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Ebrahimi, Atefeh, Hatami, Elham, Safavi, Seyed Reza, Mirtadzadini, Mansour (2023): Gelasia attariana (Scorzonerinae, Cichorieae, Asteraceae), a new species from NW of Iran, inferred from morphological and molecular data. Phytotaxa 597 (2): 165-174, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.597.2.6, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/phytotaxa.597.2.6AbstractGelasia attariana is described as a new species from northwest of Iran, near the border to Azerbaijan. The new species is morphologically similar to G. cinerea and G. wendelboi, mainly because of sharing caulescent perennial life form, entire lanceolate leaves with 3–7 parallel veins, tomentose indumentum of phyllaries and glabrous achenes without carpopodium, but differs in plant height, indumentum type of stems and leaves, length/width ratio of leaves, leaves color, apex of leaves and length of achenes and pappus. Morphological comparisons and taxonomic relationships of G. attariana with its closely related taxa are discussed. Consistent with morphological data, molecular evidences based on nrDNA ITS sequences confirmed that the new species can be recognized as a distinct taxon from its close relatives. Description, images of living plants and distribution map of the new species are also provided.

title: Comolia paraensis (Melastomataceae), a striking new species of Marcetieae endemic to Pará, Brazil

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Silva, Diego Nunes Da, Rocha, Maria José Reis Da, Guimarães, Elsie Franklin, Guimarães, Paulo José Fernandes (2024): Comolia paraensis (Melastomataceae), a striking new species of Marcetieae endemic to Pará, Brazil. Phytotaxa 646 (2): 181-192, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.646.2.7, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/phytotaxa.646.2.7AbstractDuring the preparation of the taxonomic review of Comolia, some taxonomic novelties were found. Here we describe Comolia paraensis, a new species endemic to the Brazilian state of Pará, preliminary categorized as Endangered. This species occurs in the campinas around Oriximiná and in the stony Amazonian savannas of Monte Alegre and Óbidos. Comolia paraensis is morphologically similar to C. kuhlmannii and C. veronicifolia, two taxonomic entities that here were considered distinct from C. villosa. Comolia paraensis is illustrated, compared with similar species, and notes on its geographic distribution and preliminary conservation status are provided. We also discuss the succulence found in the branches of the population from Monte Alegre, something unprecedented within Marcetieae, but commonly reported in Pyramieae and Sonerileae.

Phytotaxa 600 (5): 291-300, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.600.5.4, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/phytotaxa.600.5.4AbstractHydnellum (Bankeraceae, Thelephorales) is a stipitate hydnoid genus with spinous hymenophore, brown tuberculate basidiospores, and very tough, corky, or leathery flesh. This genus is widely distributed in the northern hemisphere, and many species are committed to mycorrhizal relationships with certain trees. In this study, one new species of Hydnellum, H. ailaoense sp. nov., was proposed, described and illustrated here. Its phylogenetic position was evaluated using two genomic loci (nLSU and ITS). The phylogenetic result shows that H. ailaoense and H. underwoodii group together and form a sister branch with a strong support value. Morphologically, H. ailaoense differs from other Hydnellum members in its pileus uplifted squamosa, margin brownish beige to grey, and the tuberculi of basidiospores usually isolated or grouped in 2 or more.

title: Pocillopora tuahiniensis: a new species of scleractinian coral (Scleractinia Pocilloporidae) from French Polynesia

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Johnston, Erika C., Burgess, Scott C. (2023): Pocillopora tuahiniensis: a new species of scleractinian coral (Scleractinia Pocilloporidae) from French Polynesia. Zootaxa 5369 (1): 117-124, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5369.1.5, URL: https://www.mapress.com/zt/article/download/zootaxa.5369.1.5/52231AbstractPocillopora tuahiniensis sp. nov. is described based on mitochondrial and nuclear genomic data, algal symbiont genetic data, geographic isolation, and its distribution pattern within reefs that is distinct from other sympatric Pocillopora species (Johnston et al. 2022a, b). Mitochondrial and nuclear genomic data reveal that P. tuahiniensis sp. nov. is a unique species, sister to P. verrucosa, and in a clade different from that of P. meandrina (Johnston et al. 2022a). However, the gross in situ colony appearance of P. tuahiniensis sp. nov. cannot easily be differentiated from that of P. verrucosa or P. meandrina at Mo’orea. By sequencing the mtORF region, P. tuahiniensis sp. nov. can be easily distinguished from other Pocillopora species. Pocillopora tuahiniensis sp. nov. has so far been sampled in French Polynesia, Ducie Island, and Rapa Nui (Armstrong et al. 2023; Edmunds et al. 2016; Forsman et al. 2013; Gélin et al. 2017; Mayfield et al. 2015; Oury et al. 2021; Voolstra et al. 2023). On the fore reefs of Mo’orea, P. tuahiniensis sp. nov. is very abundant ≥ 10 m and is one of the most common Pocillopora species at these depths (Johnston et al. 2022b). It can also be found at a much lower abundance at shallow depths on the fore reef and back reef lagoon. The holotype is deposited at the Smithsonian Institution as USNM-SI 1522390 and the mtORF Genbank accession number is OP418359.

title: Drivers of Indian pangolin (Manis crassicaudata) mortality in Central and Western Pakistan

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Ahmad, Tariq, Li, Bo (2024): Drivers of Indian pangolin (Manis crassicaudata) mortality in Central and Western Pakistan. Mammalia 88 (5): 407-417, DOI: 10.1515/mammalia-2024-0024, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1515/mammalia-2024-0024Abstract: The Indian pangolin (Manis crassicaudata) is the only member of the order Pholidota found in Pakistan. The current study was designed to compare the mortality rate and causes of mortality of Indian pangolin from eight districts, i.e., four from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and four from Punjab, Pakistan during 2019 – 2022. Data were collected by using self-designed questionnaires (n = 340) and social media reports. Most of the data were collected from Facebook 53 %, followed by Instagram (22 %), WhatsApp (17 %), and OLX (10 %). Mean and standard deviation were computed for district-wise killing (mean ± SD 15.25 ± 10.21), season-wise killing (mean ± SD 30.50 ± 9.8), month wise killing (mean ± SD 10.38 ± 4.19) and area wise killing (mean ± SD 40.7 ± 17.6). The killing of 179 Indian pangolins was recorded in four districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, while in Punjab 59 Indian pangolins were killed. According to interviewees, 33 % of the mortality of Indian pangolin was caused by illegal killing followed by human settlement (17 %), agricultural practices (13 %), mites and ticks (11 %), natural mortality (8 %), accidents (7 %), myth (6 %), and floods (5 %). District wildlife departments of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Punjab arrested many people (KPK n = 83, Punjab n = 57) during 2019 – 2022. The highest fines were imposed by the Chakwal Wildlife Department, i.e., 20,000 – 60,000 PKR along with 1 – 4 months of imprisonment sentences. Eight dead pangolins were recovered among those six were male (75 %) and two were female (25 %). Principal component analysis (PCA) showed that PC appears to be influenced the most by mites and ticks (MT), myth, natural mortality (NM) and “ flood ” given their strong loadings. PC2 was heavily influenced by killed for illegal trade (KFIT), accident, and agriculture practices (AP) due to their significant negative loadings. PC3 has NM and AP as the dominant variables, KFIT, also playing a role but in the opposite direction. PC4 showed strong influences from NM (negative) and flood (positive). We concluded that the illegal killing of Indian pangolin is very high. Conservation efforts are crucial to protect these unique and endangered creatures.

title: Laboratory evaluation of insecticides for the control of Delia planipalpis (Diptera: Anthomyiidae), a nascent pest of broccoli (Brassicaceae) in Mexico

The Canadian Entomologist (e 2) 157: 1-14, DOI: 10.4039/tce.2024.43, URL: https://doi.org/10.4039/tce.2024.43AbstractThe radish fly, Delia planipalpis Linnaeus (Diptera: Anthomyiidae), is an emerging pest of broccoli and brassicaceous crops (Brassicaceae). The fly oviposits close to the stem of broccoli plants, and larvae feed within the stem and then pupate in the soil. Due to D. planipalpis ’s recent appearance as a pest, no insecticides are registered for its management in Mexico. This study evaluated the efficacy of 13 synthetic and biological insecticides against different developmental stages through laboratory bioassays. Neonicotinoid-based products were highly toxic to the larvae, especially when applied via root irrigation, with thiamethoxam, clothianidin, and imidacloprid showing systemic activity. Thiamethoxam- and spinetoram-based products were also effective when applied to the stem oviposition site as a spray. A clothianidin-based product demonstrated moderate ovicidal activity, and bifenthrin had moderate residual activity against adult flies. A pyriproxyfen-based product effectively suppressed adult emergence. Products based on spirotetramat, neem (Meliaceae), and Tagetes (marigold) (Asteraceae) extracts and the microbial insecticide Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis (Bacillaceae) were ineffective against this pest. Spinosad and Sterneinema feltiae (Rhabditida: Steinernematidae) were not highly effective but could be used together with other control strategies in organic production. Neonicotinoids, spinetoram, and pyriproxyfen are promising options to validate in field trials for the management of D. planipalpis in broccoli.
