title: Incorporating ecological context: a revised protocol for the preservation of Nepenthes pitcher plant specimens (Nepenthaceae)

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Clarke, C., Moran, J. A. (2011): Incorporating ecological context: a revised protocol for the preservation of Nepenthes pitcher plant specimens (Nepenthaceae). Blumea 56 (3): 225-228, DOI: 10.3767/000651911X605781, URL: https://doi.org/10.3767/000651911x605781Abstract Pitcher plants of the family Nepenthaceae are vines or subscandent shrubs which produce modified leaf organs that in most species serve to attract, trap, retain and digest animals for nutritional benefit. The sole genus within the family, Nepenthes, is abundant and diverse in Malesia. Previous taxonomic treatments of Nepenthes have relied almost entirely on the morphological features of the plants, with characteristics of the pitchers, inflorescences, leaf blades and indumentum being the most informative. Recent ecological research demonstrates that unique morphological characteristics and trap geometries provide useful taxonomic information, but this is often lost or obscured when specimens are prepared for herbaria by pressing them. In this paper, we demonstrate the value of ecological information in distinguishing between controversial montane Bornean taxa and provide a revised protocol for the collection and preparation of Nepenthes specimens, which is designed to maximise the amount of ecological information retained in herbarium material.Published on 5 October 2011

title: Knodus shinahota (Characiformes: Characidae) a new species from the río Shinahota, río Chapare basin (Mamoré system), Bolivia

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Ferreira, Katiane M., Carvajal, Fernando M. (2007): Knodus shinahota (Characiformes: Characidae) a new species from the río Shinahota, río Chapare basin (Mamoré system), Bolivia. Neotropical Ichthyology 5 (1): 31-36, DOI: 10.1590/S1679-62252007000100004, URL: http://www.scielo.br/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S1679-62252007000100004&lng=en&tlng=enKnodus shinahota, new species, is described from río Shinahota, a tributary of the upper rio Mamoré basin, Província de Tiraque, Cochabamba State, Bolivia. The new species can be distinguished from all congeners except K. chapadae and K. geryi by having six rows of scales between the lateral line and the dorsal-fin origin (vs 4 or 5 rows of scales in the other species). Knodus shinahota differs from K. chapadae by possessing more rows of scales between the lateral line and the pelvic-fin origin (5 vs 3½ or 4, respectively) and more lateral line scales (38-41 vs 36-38, respectively). It differs from K. geryi by possessing more rows of scales between the lateral-line and the pelvic-fin origin (5 vs 4, respectively); fewer branched anal-fin rays (17- 20 vs 15-17, respectively), and by lacking the two symmetric, large, dark, blotches on the basal portions of the caudal-fin lobes that characterize K. geryi.Knodus shinahota, espécie nova, é descrita do río Shinahota, um afluente do alto da bacia do rio Mamoré, Província de Tiraque, Estado de Cochabamba, Bolívia. A espécie nova pode ser distinguida de todas as suas congêneres exceto K. chapadae e K. geryi por ter seis fileiras de escamas entre a linha lateral e a origem da nadadeira dorsal (vs 4 ou 5 fileiras de escamas nas demais espécies). Knodus shinahota difere de K. chapadae por possuir mais fileiras de escamas entre a linha lateral e a origem da nadadeira pélvica (5 vs 3½ ou 4, respectivamente) e mais escamas na linha lateral (38-41 vs 36-38, respectivamente). Difere de K. geryi por possuir mais fileiras de escamas entre a linha lateral e a origem da nadadeira pélvica (5 vs 4, respectivamente); menos raios ramificados na nadadeira anal (17-20 vs 15-17, respectivamente), e pela falta das duas grandes manchas escuras, simétricas, basalmente nos lobos da nadadeira caudal que caracteriza K. geryi.

title: Passion and combat on a floral stage: a new species of Uvariopsis (Annonaceae) from Monts de Cristal, Gabon, with notes on its unique pollination ecology

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Couvreur, Thomas L. P., Niangadouma, Raoul, Nguimbit, Igor, Paradis, Anne-Hélène, Dagallier, Léo-Paul M. J., Baudoin-Huit, Lola, Collin, Myriam, Haran, Julien M., Droissart, Vincent (2025): Passion and combat on a floral stage: a new species of Uvariopsis (Annonaceae) from Monts de Cristal, Gabon, with notes on its unique pollination ecology. Plant Ecology and Evolution 158 (2): 294-308, DOI: 10.5091/plecevo.152843AbstractBackground and aims – Gabon is a major centre of biodiversity. We describe a new species from the tropical plant family Annonaceae: Uvariopsis niangadoumae sp. nov., known from a single population in the Monts de Cristal National Park.Material and methods – Field work was conducted to collect plant specimens and observe floral visitors. Pollen samples were collected and prepared for microscopic analysis. The phylogenetic tree of Uvariopsis was reconstructed using a maximum likelihood method and based on hundreds of nuclear markers. Pollination biology was studied using a DIY camera trap (PICT) placed near a female flower to record floral visitors and their behaviour for one full day. Several flower visitors were collected and identified using DNA barcoding.Key results – Uvariopsis niangadoumae is a tree reaching five metres tall, characterized by strong-scented leaves, few-flowered cauliflorous foul-smelling flowers, and large pollen grains shed in tetrads. The species is endemic to a small area within the Monts de Cristal National Park. Phylogenetic analysis places U. niangadoumae within the “ large-leaved clade ” species complex with now five taxa. Pollination is diurnal, and the primary pollinator is a rove beetle (Staphylinidae), which uses the female flowers as a mating site, with males fighting for control of the flower. The rove beetles might be attracted by a chemical cue, the foul scent of the flowers, and visual cues, with the inner part of the petals resembling mushrooms.Conclusion – These results emphasize once again the importance of the Monts de Cristal National Park for biodiversity and highlight conservation concerns for the newly described species. The new species is monitored regularly, especially for fruiting individuals, to support ex situ propagation. The Kinguélé Aval project maintains a conservation nursery with 56 species, including 20 individuals of this new species.

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Azari-Hamidian, Shahyad, Norouzi, Behzad, Maleki, Hannaneh, Rezvani, Seyed Mahmoud, Pourgholami, Morteza, Oshaghi, Mohammad Ali (2024): First record of a medically important vector, the Asian tiger mosquito Aedes albopictus (Skuse, 1895) (Diptera: Culicidae), using morphological and molecular data in northern Iran. Journal of Insect Biodiversity and Systematics 10 (4): 953-963, DOI: 10.61186/jibs.10.4.953, URL: https://doi.org/10.61186/jibs.10.4.953ABSTRACT. Iranian mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) include 73 species across eight genera. The fauna of mosquitoes in Guilan Province comprises 34 species classified into seven genera. A faunistic study of mosquitoes was conducted with emphasis on an aggressive biter mosquito reported by local people in Anzali and Rasht Cities of Guilan Province, northern Iran. Collections were made by hand catches using manual aspirators, light traps, BG lure traps and ovitraps during August–November 2023 in all 17 counties of the province. Species identification was carried out using morphological keys and molecular analysis of the barcode region of the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene. In total, 29 larvae and 896 adult specimens were collected which were not recognized as a species previously known to occur in the province. The aggressive biter mosquito was morphologically identified as Aedes albopictus (Skuse, 1895). The sequences of the barcode region of the COI gene of the species were generated for the first time in the country. This species was collected in 14 counties of the province. Thus, the mosquito fauna of Guilan Province increased to 35 species.

PhytoKeys 263: 17-23, DOI: 10.3897/phytokeys.263.166400AbstractAster xuelinii, a new species from Gansu Province, China, is described and illustrated based on morphological and phylogenetic evidence. The new species is superficially similar to A. dolichopodus Y. Ling in that both have nearly entire leaves, synflorescence solitary at branch tips or arranged in corymbiform clusters, and ray floret color. However, it differs from A. dolichopodus in having peduncles 6–9 cm in length and 12–14 ray florets, versus 2.5–15 cm in length and 19–26 ray florets. Phylogenetic analyses of nuclear ribosomal ITS and ETS sequences, as well as the chloroplast trnL-F region, place this new species within the genus Aster, where it forms a well-supported clade with A. taliangshanensis Y. Ling. A. xuelinii differs from A. taliangshanensis in that the latter has stems often purplish-red in the upper part, capitula typically arranged 1–3 at branch tips forming a loosely corymbiform synflorescence, and a higher number of ray florets (50–60), which are bluish-purple. Furthermore, detailed morphological descriptions, diagnostic illustrations, and ecological habitat characteristics are provided, supporting the classification of this new species.

ZooKeys 1251: 17-38, DOI: 10.3897/zookeys.1251.153705AbstractA new species of the genus Diploderma is described from the upper Dadu River Valley in the Hengduan mountains of Sichuan Province, China. Phylogenetic analyses based on the mitochondrial ND 2 gene revealed that the new species, Diploderma bifluviale sp. nov., forms a distinct lineage within the Diploderma flaviceps group with an uncorrected genetic distance of ≥ 3.88 %. Morphologically, the new species differs from its congeners by a combination of characters, including a shorter snout-vent length (SVL 62.51–72.55 mm), a shorter tail (TAL / SVL ratio 1.37–1.56), concealed tympanum, absence of a gular spot, and lemon-chiffon dorsolateral stripes with serrated edges in males. Additionally, Diploderma bifluviale sp. nov. exhibits unique coloration traits such as a wheat-colored tongue and the fourth toe with claw reaching either the tympanum or the area between shoulder and tympanum when hind limbs adpressed forward. The species inhabits semi-arid shrublands in warm-dry valleys at elevations of 2,187 –2,525 m – a habitat that is distinct from those of its closest relatives. This discovery highlights the understudied biodiversity of the upper Dadu River. Diploderma bifluviale sp. nov. represents the 49 th species of the genus and expands our understanding of morphological and ecological diversity within the D. flaviceps group.

title: Integrative taxonomy reveals a new unstriped Ichthyophis Fitzinger, 1826 from Vietnam and provides new data on diagnostic osteological traits for Asian tailed caecilians (Gymnophiona: Ichthyophiidae)

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Poyarkov, Nikolay A., Skorinova, Dana D., Bragin, Andrey M., Kolchanov, Veniamin V., Gorin, Vladislav A., Trofimets, Alexey V., Yuzefovich, Alexander P., Le, Dac Xuan, Nguyen, Tan Van, Skutschas, Pavel P. (2025): Integrative taxonomy reveals a new unstriped Ichthyophis Fitzinger, 1826 from Vietnam and provides new data on diagnostic osteological traits for Asian tailed caecilians (Gymnophiona: Ichthyophiidae). Vertebrate Zoology 75: 405-440, DOI: 10.3897/vz.75.e149399AbstractHerein we examined the cranial osteology of 15 species of Ichthyophis (I. asplenius, I. beddomei, I. glutinosus, I. kohtaoensis, I. larutensis, I. mindanaoensis, I. multicolor, I. nguyenorum, I. nigroflavus, I. sikkimensis, I. singaporensis, I. supachaii, I. tricolor, I. weberi, and Ichthyophis sp. from northern Vietnam) with a special emphasis on the temporal region. We presented the first detailed description of the cranium and the atlas of an Ichthyophis species based on micro-CT scanning data. We discuss the implications of temporal region composition for the systematics of this group and the evolution of the cranium in Gymnophiona as a whole. We further provided comments on a jaw-closing mechanism and reported on the presence of phylogenetically basal cranial features in ichthyophiids that are also found in stem caecilians. Our detailed morphological description was based on a specimen from a previously unknown population of unstriped Ichthyophis from northern Vietnam. We consequently described this population as a new species based on morphological and molecular (3967 bp from cyt b, 12 S rRNA, and 16 S rRNA mitochondrial DNA genes) lines of evidence. We provide comparisons of external morphological traits of the new species with its congeners and further compare its cranial osteological features with other Ichthyophis for which skull descriptions exist. The new species differs from the morphologically similar species I. yangi and I. chaloensis by a significant divergence in cyt b and 16 S rRNA mitochondrial DNA gene sequences (p = 6.5 % – 6.9 % and p = 4.5 %, respectively). The new species is currently known only from evergreen forests of Xuan Lien National Park (Thanh Hoa Province) and Pu Hoat (Nghe An Province) Nature Reserve, northern Vietnam, and was recorded at elevations of 700–800 m asl. We suggest the new species be considered Data Deficient (DD), following the IUCN’s Red List categories.
