title: Are fisheries regulations influencing the biology and reproduction of the surmullet Mullus surmuletus Linnaeus, 1758 on the south-eastern coasts of France (NW Mediterranean)?

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Bănaru, Daniela, Diréach, Laurence Le, Crest, Guillaume, Tenaille, Melissa, Harmelin-Vivien, Mireille (2022): Are fisheries regulations influencing the biology and reproduction of the surmullet Mullus surmuletus Linnaeus, 1758 on the south-eastern coasts of France (NW Mediterranean)? Cybium 46 (1): 19-28, DOI: 10.26028/cybium/2022-461-003, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.26028/cybium/2022-461-003Abstract. – The surmullet Mullus surmuletus Linnaeus, 1758 is one of the main target and high value species for small coastal fisheries in the North-Western Mediterranean. Morphometric and reproduction indices of surmullet were determined in fisheries regulated and non-regulated zones neighbouring the Port-Cros National Park (South-Eastern France) in autumn 2019 and spring 2020. Total length of individuals ranged between 12 and 32 cm, with a mode between 17 and 23 cm. Significantly larger individuals were measured in the regulated fishing zones than in non-regulated ones, and in autumn rather than in spring. Females dominated in all zones and seasons, particularly in size classes&gt; 24 cm in spring. Higher gonadosomatic index and more advanced gonadal development stages were observed in both sexes in spring than in autumn. Higher percentages of individuals with mature gonads and high gonadosomatic index were found in the fisheries regulated zone, engendering a higher reproductive potential. These results highlighted the importance of fisheries management with regard to the life-history traits of targeted fish species.

title: Lerista karichigara sp. nov. (Scincidae; Sphenomorphini), a new fossorial skink from Australia's underexplored Gulf Plains Bioregion

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Zozaya, Stephen M., Vanderduys, Eric, Macor, Scott A., Read, Wesley J., Amey, Andrew P. (2025): Lerista karichigara sp. nov. (Scincidae; Sphenomorphini), a new fossorial skink from Australia's underexplored Gulf Plains Bioregion. Zootaxa 5613 (2): 262-278, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5613.2.3AbstractWe describe a new species of fossorial skink, Lerista karichigara sp. nov., from the Gulf Plains Bioregion of northern Queensland, Australia. The new species lacks forelimbs, has hindlimbs with two toes, and is characterised by a colour-pattern of fine, dark longitudinal lines. Although field guides and keys available at the time of publication would identify this species as L. wilkinsi, it differs from that allopatric species in several respects. Notably, L. karichigara sp. nov. has only two supraciliaries that do not contact each other (versus four, with the first three in a continuous row), and a snout shape that is sharper in profile. Mitochondrial DNA sequence data indicate L. karichigara sp. nov. is deeply divergent from other known Lerista species and is possibly sister to a clade of nine species from north-eastern Australia, referred to here as the L. wilkinsi clade. Lerista karichigara sp. nov. appears to be the first vertebrate recognised as endemic to the Gulf Plains Bioregion, an expansive and poorly surveyed region of tropical northern Australia. We also report new geographic records for L. vanderduysi and L. emmotti, which extend their known distributions.

The species description is based on scale morphology studied using scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Mallomonas uralensis sp. nov. belongs in section Torquatae and is most similar to representatives of the series Mangoferae. The main distinctive features of the new species are papillae and small circular pits located on the surface of the shield; a raised, wide anterior submarginal rib, covered with several parallel rows of minute papillae and surrounded on the outer and inner sides by rows of depressions; narrow anterior flanges bearing one row of minute papillae; and the presence of spines on the most of the body scales.

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Mendoza-Penagos, Cristian Camilo, Juen, Leandro, Vilela, Diogo Silva (2022): Heteragrion calafatiensis (Odonata: Heteragrionidae) sp. nov. from Northern Brazil. Zootaxa 5124 (2): 223-229, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5124.2.7AbstractThe Neotropical genus Heteragrion Selys, 1862 is the second most speciose among the Neotropical Zygoptera. However, most of its species are poorly known regarding their biology, distribution, and taxonomy, especially those from undersampled areas like Northern Brazil. Here we describe Heteragrion calafatiensis sp. nov. from the coastal environments of the Brazilian Amazon of Pará state (Holotype ♂, Brazil, Pará, municipality of Magalhães Barata, near the Marapanim River, (-0.863291, -47.668058, 20 m, 26.ix.2021), C.C. Mendoza-Penagos leg, in UFPA). This is the nineth Heteragrion species recorded for the Northern region of Brazil. The new species can be separated from congeners by cercal morphology and thoracic coloration pattern.

title: A new species of Americabaetis (Ephemeroptera: Baetidae) from Itatiaia National Park, Brazil

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Marulanda-Lopez, Jhon Faber, Salles, Frederico Falcão (2023): A new species of Americabaetis (Ephemeroptera: Baetidae) from Itatiaia National Park, Brazil. Zoologia (e 22054) 40: 1-10, DOI: 10.1590/S1984-4689.v40.e22054, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/s1984-4689.v40.e22054ABSTRACT. A new species of Americabaetis Kluge, 1992 is described based on nymphs and subimagos from Itatiaia National Park, close to the border of Minas Gerais and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The new species can be differentiated from the remaining species of the genus based on the following combination of characteristics: (1) frontal keel present, (2) right mandible with angle between incisors and mola obtuse, (3) paraglossa nearly twice longer than wide, (4) fore femur with 40–42 long, apically acute, simple setae in outer margin, (5) gills grayish with pigmented tracheation, (6) distinctive abdominal color pattern (two white posterolateral spots on abdominal terga IV and VII, white medial band running along abdominal terga, and lateral margins washed with brown), (7) posterior margin of abdominal terga with triangular spines, and (8) paraproct marginally with 12–14 spines. Given the development of the labial palp segment III, shape of the apex of the lingua, and robustness of the body, the new species is somewhat similar to A. labiosus and A. titthion. It can be readily distinguished from A. titthion by the absence of meso and metasternal projections and by the shape of spines on the posterior margin of abdominal terga (triangular on the new species, blunt on A. titthion). The main differences between the new species and A. labiosus are the paraglossa length/width ratio (2.3x in the new species, 2.5x in A. labiosus), the relative length of the maxillary palp (longer than galea-lacinia in the new species versus subequal in A. labiosus), as well as pigmentation of tracheae on gills (which is absent in A. labiosus). The abdominal color pattern of A. itatiaia sp. nov. is also very distinctive in relation to A. labiosus and A. titthion.

PhytoKeys 256: 221-238, DOI: 10.3897/phytokeys.256.148573AbstractHiptage (Malpighiaceae) is a genus almost exclusively native to Asia, with a single species, Hiptage benghalensis, being a noxious invasive plant in several areas of the world and particularly threatening the native flora of the Mascarene Islands. Whereas 17 Hiptage species have been reported from Vietnam, there is currently no available genetic information that could be used to confirm the species diversity in the country. Through a study combining phylogenetic and morphological analyses of newly-collected samples and herbarium specimens, we were able to accurately identify five Hiptage species in Vietnam. One of these, Hiptage aptera, represents a species new to science. Specimens of the new species show white to slightly pink petals, erect to forward-curved petals, eight tiny calyx glands and wingless fruits, a unique feature within this genus. Our results strongly support Vietnam as one of the diversity centres of the Hiptage genus with 18 species out of the 48 species. Although we could not determine the source of introduction of Hiptage in the Mascarenes Archipelago, our findings highlight the genetic similarity of all Hiptage benghalensis samples collected in its secondary distribution areas, suggesting a probable single introduction. This is consistent with historical reports dating the plant’s introduction to the Mascarenes to the 18 th century.
