title: Novel Tube Fishway successfully attracts and lifts wild fish

description: Barriers have significantly disrupted fish movement and migration, contributing to global population declines. The Tube Fishway offers a novel solution for upstream passage that uses the flow of water through pipes to lift fish upstream. Potential design advantages include reduced water demands, and an ability to retrofit to existing barriers or sites with space constraints. This study presents the first Tube Fishway deployment that attracted and safely transported wild fish. Installed downstream of Ewen Maddock Dam (Australia), the fishway operated over 20 experimental hours and successfully transported 230 fish across eight species over a height of 3.4 m. The most effective configurations included a one-way cone trap with a 3-minute attraction interval and 0.26 m/s attraction flow (25 fish/h), or combined attraction and auxiliary flows of 0.13 m/s and 0.28 m/s, respectively (29 fish/h). DIDSON acoustic camera footage indicated auxiliary flow enhanced fish activity near the entrance, while the fishway’s operational surge temporarily deterred fish activity for up to 80 s. This field validation confirms the capacity of the Tube Fishway to transport wild fish. Operational parameters including entry design, flow configuration, and timing, can influence the fishway’s effectiveness. These findings support the development of the Tube Fishway as a solution for restoring riverine connectivity. The novel Tube Fishway system was implemented in the field for the first time and attracted and lifted 230 wild fish.Using a cone trap at the fishway entrance consistently achieved higher fish counts.Acoustic camera results indicated that the fishway’s operation would deter fish activity, however this was restored after 80 s.

title: Increasing our knowledge of Brazilian bamboos: two new species of Chusquea subg. Rettbergia (Bambusoideae, Poaceae)

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Mota, Aline Costa, Oliveira, Reyjane Patrícia De, Clark, Lynn G. (2014): Increasing our knowledge of Brazilian bamboos: two new species of Chusquea subg. Rettbergia (Bambusoideae, Poaceae). Phytotaxa 161 (3): 201-210, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.161.3.3, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/phytotaxa.161.3.3AbstractBrazil includes a very high diversity of bamboos, but this diversity is far from completely known. We increase the list of Brazilian woody bamboos by describing two new species of Chusquea, which belong to subgenus Rettbergia. Chusquea ciliatifolia sp. nov. differs from other species of this subgenus by its mottled culms, distinctly ciliate margins of the foliage leaf blades and pilose synflorescences; and C. mirabilis sp. nov. by the presence of branches with sericeous girdles. Both C. ciliatifolia and C. mirabilis occur exclusively in the Atlantic Forest, from the states of Bahia and Minas Gerais, known only from five and three populations, respectively. Comments on morphology, taxonomic relationships, ecological aspects, and conservation status of these new species are provided.

title: Don’t go with the flow: cranial adaptations of stream tadpoles in the Afrobatrachian family Arthroleptidae

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Schweiger, Susan, Rödel, Mark-Oliver, Hammel, Jörg. U., Müller, Hendrik (2024): Don’t go with the flow: cranial adaptations of stream tadpoles in the Afrobatrachian family Arthroleptidae. Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society 202: 1-17, DOI: 10.1093/zoolinnean/zlae114ABSTRACTArthroleptidae are an ecologically diverse group of sub-Saharan frogs. Arthroleptid tadpoles predominately occur in slow flowing to torrent waters. Their musculoskeletal system and the relationship between tadpole morphology and lifestyle are poorly understood. Here, we investigated the cranial morphology of four arthroleptid tadpoles occurring in different microhabitats: Leptopelis parkeri, Astylosternus occidentalis, Trichobatrachus robustus, and Nyctibates corrugatus. The crania of the tadpoles of A. occidentalis, N. corrugatus, and T. robustus are highly modified relative to L. parkeri, with wide and partly or completely fused cornua trabeculae, a fused cartilago labialis superior, as well as several modifications of the palatoquadrate, such as a broad commissura quadratocranialis and a processus ventralis which expands the surface for the origin of the large m. orbitohyoideus. The processus hyoquadratis is an evolutionary novelty, forming a functional unit together with the ceratohyale in the cranium of N.corrugatus. Finally, we compared the cranial morphology of these arthroleptids to other lotic and non-lotic species. Although the processus ventralis is not a generalized feature of the cranium in lotic species, it is not present in lentic species.

ZooKeys 1247: 63-88, DOI: 10.3897/zookeys.1247.155348AbstractEudigraphis huadongensis Yang & Bu, sp. nov. from east China is described and illustrated. The new species is compared with other congeners in detail and observations about its embryonic and post-embryonic development are provided. The complete mitochondrial genome of the new species is also analyzed, which represents the first published mitogenome of Polyxenida. The genetic divergence between E. huadongensis sp. nov. and its congeners was analyzed using Neighbor-Joining inference based on COI gene sequences. Eudigraphis huadongensis sp. nov. clustered with E. nigricans and E. kinutensis, supporting the morphological identification. The newly assembled mitogenome is 15,206 bp in length and its gene order is unique, possibly representing a pattern among Polyxenida species.

PhytoKeys 244: 15-22, DOI: 10.3897/phytokeys.244.119306AbstractRecent fieldwork conducted in Sumatra resulted in unusual collections of the conspicuous ginger genus Geocharis, a genus that harbours a total of six species distributed in Sumatra, the Malay Peninsula, Borneo and the Philippines. After carefully reviewing types and protologues of existing taxa, we conclude that the recent collections represent a new species described here as Geocharis globosa, which is similar to G. aurantiaca, G. rubra and G. radicalis by the flowers spreading evenly in all directions but differs from these by the less divided labellum and by the unstructured and smooth globose fruits. We provide a detailed description and a photographic plate as well as a preliminary Red List Assessment for the new species. With the new species added to Geocharis macrostemon and G. radicalis, the number of species in Sumatra hereby increases to three. A recircumscription of the genus is provided, taking into account the unusual fruit character of the new species.

title: Lost & Found - Rediscovery of H. Hauffen’s Carychium material in the Dominik Bilimek Collection, BOKU University, including a contemporary assessment within the genus Zospeum (Gastropoda, Ellobioidea, Carychiinae)

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Lukeneder, Petra, Ottner, Franz, Harzhauser, Mathias, Winkler, Viola, Metscher, Brian, Ruthensteiner, Bernhard, Jochum, Adrienne (2024): Lost & Found - Rediscovery of H. Hauffen’s Carychium material in the Dominik Bilimek Collection, BOKU University, including a contemporary assessment within the genus Zospeum (Gastropoda, Ellobioidea, Carychiinae). Subterranean Biology 49: 97-116, DOI: 10.3897/subtbiol.49.130692AbstractThe syntypes of Carychium reticulatum Hauffen, 1856 and Carychium bidentatum Hauffen, 1856, thought to be lost to science, have been rediscovered in a recent inventory of the shell collection of Domink Bilimek (1813–1884) at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences in Vienna, Austria (BOKU). In this work, we present (1) the historical context of the Dominik Bilimek and Heinrich (also: Henrik) Hauffen collections and (2) provide a contemporary image dataset of Hauffen’s original material while considering today’s taxonomic understanding of the genus Zospeum. We clarify the taxonomic status of the syntypes by using light microscopy, Scanning Electron Microcopy (SEM) and 3 D X-ray Micro-CT data in conjunction with Hauffen’s original illustrations and compare them to contemporary investigations of their closest congeners. Analysis of Zospeum reticulatum (Hauffen, 1856) is supported by historical documentation from Heinrich Hauffen’s original annotations and Bilimek’s diary entries, as well as from individual collection labels in Hauffen’s own script (verified by archive material from the Archive of the National Museum of Slovenia, NMS). Hauffen’s descriptions are based on apertural morphology and shell microstructure. Our re-investigation of Zospeum reticulatum provides corroborating evidence supporting its assignment to Zospeum spelaeum (Rossmaessler, 1839) while that of Carychium bidentatum corroborates its status as junior synonym of Zospeum costatum (Freyer, 1855).

The two new species are phylogenetically and morphologically allied to the wynadensis clade and can be distinguished from other species of the wynadensis clade and each other by a combination of nonoverlapping morphological characters including body size, homogeneous dorsal pholidosis, the number of femoral pores and poreless scales separating these series, the number of ventral scales across the midbody and longitudinal scales from mental to cloaca, the number of dorsal granules around the body; and an uncorrected pairwise ND2 sequence divergence of 8.2–22.9 % (16S 4.2–12.2 %) from all other members in the clade. These are the first members of the wynadensis clade known from south of the Palghat Gap apart from C. bireticulata, a putative junior synonym of C. sisparensis that is likely to be distinct owing to morphological differences and geographic distance. Cnemaspis sanctus sp. nov. is from low coastal hills in Kanyakumari District at the southern tip of the Western Ghats and Cnemaspis persephone sp. nov. is from the Anaimalais, Anaimalai Tiger Reserve. Many more undescribed species of the wynadensis clade and South Asian Cnemaspis are likely to be found across the southern Western Ghats.

title: Morphological and molecular identification for two new species of woodinhabiting macrofungi (Basidiomycota) from Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, China

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Yang, Yang, Li, Rong, Liu, Chaomao, Zhao, Changlin (2023): Morphological and molecular identification for two new species of woodinhabiting macrofungi (Basidiomycota) from Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, China. Phytotaxa 591 (1): 1-18, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.591.1.1, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1094/PDIS-04-22-0755-PDNAbstractTwo new wood-inhabiting macrofungal species, Coniophora yunnanensis and Resupinatus yunnanensis are proposed based on a combination of morphological features and molecular evidence. Coniophora yunnanensis is characterized by annual basidiomata with odontoid hymenophore with olivaceous to brown hymenial surfaces, a monomitic hyphal system with simple septate generative hyphae, and yellowish basidiospores. While, R. yunnanensis is characterized by resupinate to cupulate basidiomata with greyish to greyish-brown hymenophore, a monomitic hyphal system with clamped generative hyphae and ellipsoid basidiospores measuring as 4.5–9 × 3.5–7 µm. The phylogenetic analyses based on molecular data of ITS+nLSU sequences showed that C. yunnanensis and R. yunnanensis nested within Agaricomycetidae, in which C. yunnanensis clustered into the family Coniophoraceae (Boletales), and R. yunnanensis grouped into family Pleurotaceae (Agaricales). The phylogenetic tree derived from ITS sequences revealed that C. yunnanensis grouped into genus Coniophora, in which it grouped with C. marmorata. Additionally, R. yunnanensis clustered into genus Resupinatus and then was sister to R. conspersus.
