title: Nomenclatural historians are kindly requested to respect the intent of the Code: “ Nomenclatural parsimony ” and the case of the Nose-horned Viper, Vipera ammodytes (Linnaeus, 1758)

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Wüster, Wolfgang, Böhme, Wolfgang, Denzer, Wolfgang, Kaiser, Hinrich (2025): Nomenclatural historians are kindly requested to respect the intent of the Code: “ Nomenclatural parsimony ” and the case of the Nose-horned Viper, Vipera ammodytes (Linnaeus, 1758). Zootaxa 5696 (3): 385-397, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5696.3.4, URL: https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5696.3.4AbstractScientific biological nomenclature underpins all knowledge exchange on biodiversity and works best when the names of organisms are stable. However, science-driven changes to zoological nomenclature are essential to reflect advances in knowledge. In contrast, process-driven changes resulting from historical discoveries followed by strict application of the Code can destabilise nomenclature without representing any gain in taxonomic knowledge. We illustrate this problem using the example of the European Nose-horned Viper, Vipera ammodytes (Linnaeus, 1758): its Linnaean type was recently reassessed and found not to originate from the western Balkans, as long assumed, but from near Istanbul, European Türkiye. The transfer of the name V. ammodytes ammodytes from its long-standing prevailing usage to the eastern subspecies widely known as V. a. montandoni Boulenger, 1904 would greatly impede the interpretation of a large body of literature and complicate communication about an iconic, widely known venomous snake of public health importance. We emphasise the imperative of nomenclatural parsimony (i.e., the need to minimise changes) when deciding between different possible courses of action required by historical discoveries. We urge researchers into nomenclatural history to safeguard long-established, widely used names, including through petitions to the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature.

title: Essential oils from Eucalyptus species: a review of their activities, applications, and the Brazilian market

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Rodrigues, Mayara, Mazzafera, Paulo (2025): Essential oils from Eucalyptus species: a review of their activities, applications, and the Brazilian market. Acta Botanica Brasilica (e 20240111) 39: 1-21, DOI: 10.1590/1677-941X-ABB-2024-0111ABSTRACTEssential oils are volatile, lipophilic substances mainly composed of terpenes, derived from secondary metabolism. Widely used in pharmaceutical, agricultural, and cosmetic industries, essential oils from eucalyptus species are particularly notable for their economic and biological significance. This review explores the antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antiviral, and insecticidal activities of essential oils from various eucalyptus species and their isolated constituents, such as eucalyptol and α- terpineol. Because eucalyptus represents 96.7% of the reforested area in Brazil, economic analyses focused on the Brazilian market, highlighting a 25-year trajectory of production and trade, the dominance of eucalyptolrich oils, and the growing demand for sustainable and high-quality products. Future market prospects include expanding the use of underutilized species, improving oil formulations for enhanced stability and bioavailability, and meeting stringent international quality standards. Addressing these challenges and opportunities underscores the essential role of ongoing research in leveraging eucalyptus essential oils as versatile and sustainable bioresources.

title: Types matter: taxonomic status of Chanodichthys oxycephalus (Bleeker, 1871) (Cypriniformes, Xenocyprididae) and some relevant species of East Asia

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Chen, Xiao, Su, Shiping, Zhang, Xiaohua, Van der Laan, Richard, Zhang, E (2025): Types matter: taxonomic status of Chanodichthys oxycephalus (Bleeker, 1871) (Cypriniformes, Xenocyprididae) and some relevant species of East Asia. ZooKeys 1257: 285-303, DOI: 10.3897/zookeys.1257.120512AbstractIssues concerning the identification of Chanodichthys oxycephalus are addressed. This species is a senior synonym of Ch. oxycephaloides and is restricted to the Chang-Jiang basin and adjacent lakes. Specimens previously identified as Ch. oxycephalus, represent misidentifications of either Ch. abramoides or Ch. dabryi. Chanodichthys oxycephalus, Ch. abramoides, and Ch. dabryi are confirmed as three distinct species. Chanodichthys dabryi shinkainensis is treated as a junior synonym of Ch. abramoides. Additional comments are provided on some cultrin fishes from Lakes Dongting and Xingkai mentioned in earlier literature. This study clears up the taxonomic confusion surrounding associated species.

PhytoKeys 262: 129-144, DOI: 10.3897/phytokeys.262.161687AbstractSinosenecio yaanensis K. Huang & Z. X. Fu (Asteraceae) is described as a new species from Tianquan County, western Sichuan, China. It resembles S. chienii and S. homogyniphyllus in its scapigerous habit and palmately veined ovate to ovate-cordate radical leaves, but differs in several stable traits. Its leaves are subcoriaceous with whitish blotches adaxially and a purplish red abaxial surface, whereas S. chienii has submembranous blades that are pale green on the abaxial surface, while S. homogyniphyllus has smaller membranous leaves. Sinosenecio yaanensis produces 3–10 (vs. 2–9 in S. chienii and mostly solitary in S. homogyniphyllus) capitula, ca. 8 (vs. 10–12 and 8–17) ray florets, and lacks a pappus (vs. absent or rarely with short hairs). Phylogenetic analyses based on chloroplast genomes and ITS sequences place S. yaanensis within the Sinosenecio – tussilaginoid assemblage corresponding to the Tussilagininae subtribe, clustering with S. chienii and S. homogyniphyllus.

title: New morphological data on Kurzia longirostris (Daday, 1898) (Crustacea, Branchiopoda) from the Congo River Basin

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Moreira-Silva, Camila, Sousa, Francisco Diogo Rocha, Elmoor-Loureiro, Lourdes M. A., Isumbisho, Mwapu, Sarmento, Hugo, Borges, Alberto V., Perbiche-Neves, Gilmar (2025): New morphological data on Kurzia longirostris (Daday, 1898) (Crustacea, Branchiopoda) from the Congo River Basin. ZooKeys 1257: 339-354, DOI: 10.3897/zookeys.1257.141692AbstractAfrica is recognized for its high levels of endemism across many groups of organisms, including Cladocera. Several studies contributed to our understanding of the diversity and geographic distribution of some groups of Chydoridae on this continent. The literature, however, points to species presumed to occur naturally on other continents, suggesting that both diversity and endemism in Africa continue to be underestimated. Despite the absence of more comprehensive knowledge about the morphology of Kurzia longirostris (Daday, 1898) from the terra typica (Oriental region), our findings revealed small morphological differences between populations of the Congo River when compared with literature reports. Looking at the high morphological variability along the range of its geographic distribution, it becomes clear that K. longirostris might be indicated as a species complex. Thus, the idea of continental endemism should be tested in a future revision of the group.

title: New specimens of Helicops boitata (Serpentes: Dipsadidae: Hydropsini), with data on morphological variation and behavior

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Valle-Alvarenga, Gabriela Do, Curcio, Felipe F., Moraes-Da-Silva, Antonio, Walterman, Suellen S., Rosa, Luana G. S., Campos-Filho, Luiz V. S., Strüssmann, Christine (2024): New specimens of Helicops boitata (Serpentes: Dipsadidae: Hydropsini), with data on morphological variation and behavior. Zootaxa 5477 (3): 358-366, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5477.3.5, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5477.3.5AbstractWe report data on morphological variation and behavior of the recently described watersnake Helicops boitata, previously known strictly from the holotype. Our data come from five new specimens fortuitously found in a private area near the type locality, in the Brazilian Pantanal wetlands. The expanded sample revealed polymorphism in at least two scalation features previously assumed as diagnostic of the species (i.e., undivided condition of the cloacal plate and nasal scales) and confirmed the uniqueness of the ventral color pattern, as well as the divided condition of the foremost ventral shields. In addition, three individuals collected alive also exhibited the same harmless behavior reported to the holotype, a rather unusual feature among snakes of the genus Helicops. Other new behavioral observations include mostly nocturnal activity (in contrast with the previous data) and the ability to dig galleries in the soft substrate when attempting to escape. The finding of five individuals very close to each other suggest aggregations in habitats prone to retain humidity in the dry season of the Pantanal. Low abundance rates and possible habitat restrictions might render Helicops boitata particularly susceptible to seasonal fire episodes that consume large extensions of the wetlands, including temporarily dry flooding fields in which aquatic reptiles find refuge during the seasonal droughts.

title: Otocinclus batmani, a new species of hypoptopomatine catfish (Siluriformes: Loricariidae) from Colombia and Peru

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article A, Pablo Lehmann (2006): Otocinclus batmani, a new species of hypoptopomatine catfish (Siluriformes: Loricariidae) from Colombia and Peru. Neotropical Ichthyology 4 (4): 379-383, DOI: 10.1590/s1679-62252006000400001, URL: https://doi.org/10.1590/s1679-62252006000400001A new species of the hypoptopomatine catfish genus Otocinclus is described from two localities in the upper Río Amazonas basin: a tributary of the Río Puré in Colombia and two tributaries to the Río Amazonas near Iquitos in Peru. The new taxon can be easily distinguished from all congeners, except Otocinclus cocama, by having a single, intensely pigmented, vertical Wshaped caudal fin spot and by having three discrete dark bands on dorsum, between the dorsal-fin base and the caudal fin. Otocinclus batmani differs from O. cocama by the absence of vertically elongated blotches from the dorsal midline to the ventral border of flanks, and by lacking a posterior extension of black pigmentation on the base of two central caudal-fin rays. Phylogenetic relationships of the new species are investigated and it is possibly more closely related to a clade formed by O. huaorani, O. mariae, O. bororo, O. mura, and O. cocama.Uma nova espécie de bagre hypoptopomatineo do gênero Otocinclus é descrita de duas localidades na bacia do alto rio Amazonas: um tributário do rio Puré na Colômbia e dois igarapés tributários do rio Amazonas próximo a Iquitos no Peru. O novo táxon pode ser facilmente distinguido dos demais congêneres, exceto Otocinclus cocama, por uma mancha vertical em forma de W, densamente pigmentada localizada na porção posterior da nadadeira caudal, e pela presença de três bandas discretas escuras no dorso, entre a base da nadadeira dorsal e a nadadeira caudal. De Otocinclus cocama ela é diferenciada pelo padrão de colorido composto de uma grande faixa escura lateral (vs. faixas verticais alongadas nos flancos) e pela ausência de pigmentação negra prolongada na base dos dois raios centrais da nadadeira caudal. As relações filogenéticas da nova espécie são investigadas e ela é possivelmente mais proximamente relacionada a um clado formado por O. huaorani, O. mariae, O. bororo, O. mura e O. cocama.

title: Ooceraea hainingensis sp. nov.: A new Chinese Ooceraea (Hymenoptera, Formicidae, Dorylinae) species with a dealate queen, closely allied to the queenless clonal raider ant O. biroi

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Gao, Qionghua, Long, Jiliang, Liu, Chengyuan, Liu, Haoyu, Ran, Hao, Lacy, Kip D., Kronauer, Daniel J. C. (2024): Ooceraea hainingensis sp. nov.: A new Chinese Ooceraea (Hymenoptera, Formicidae, Dorylinae) species with a dealate queen, closely allied to the queenless clonal raider ant O. biroi. ZooKeys 1205: 101-113, DOI: 10.3897/zookeys.1205.118358AbstractThe clonal raider ant, Ooceraea biroi, is a queenless species that reproduces asexually, and these traits make it an attractive model system for laboratory research. However, it is unclear where on the ant phylogeny these traits evolved, partly because few closely related species have been described and studied. Here, we describe a new raider ant species, Ooceraea hainingensis sp. nov., from Zhejiang, China. This species is closely related to O. biroi but can be distinguished by the following features: 1) workers of O. hainingensis sp. nov. have an obvious promesonotal suture and a metanotal groove, whereas these characters are ambiguous in O. biroi; and 2) the subpetiolar process of O. hainingensis is prominent and anteroventrally directed like a thumb with sublinear posteroventral margin, while in O. biroi, it is anteroventrally directed but slightly backward-bent. Molecular phylogenetic analyses confirm that O. hainingensis is genetically distinct from O. biroi. Importantly, unlike O. biroi, O. hainingensis has a queen caste with wings and well-developed eyes. This suggests that the loss of the queen caste and transition to asexual reproduction by workers is specific to O. biroi and occurred after that species diverged from closely related congeneric species.
