title: The Okuru skink (Oligosoma carinacauda sp. nov) of South Westland, New Zealand-simply elusive or extinct?

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Bell, Trent, Patterson, Geoff B. (2024): The Okuru skink (Oligosoma carinacauda sp. nov) of South Westland, New Zealand-simply elusive or extinct? Zootaxa 5536 (1): 123-138, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5536.1.4, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5536.1.4AbstractA small brown, longitudinally striped skink from Okuru, South Westland, New Zealand is described as Oligosoma carinacauda sp. nov. It is distinguished from all congeners by the combination of three supraocular scales and a keeled tail. The species is known only from a single specimen, collected from sphagnum moss within supralittoral dune habitat at Mussel Point, Okuru in 2000. Follow-up targeted surveys undertaken since by expert herpetologists have failed to relocate the species to date. As it is known that many New Zealand lizard species face a perilously uncertain future due to anthropogenic-induced pressures such as habitat loss, predatory pests, and climate change, there are serious concerns for the survival of this species.

The two described congeners, O. panamae (Snyder, 1924) and O. formosulus Cuezzo and Cancello, 2009 both have dimorphic soldiers and workers. It is now demonstrated that the major worker hindgut of all three Obtusitermes species are unique among other termite taxa in due to the first proctodeal segment connected to the third proctodeal segment by a very long and tubular enteric valve (second proctodeal segment) with weak armature at both ends and a curvature of 180°. Additionally, Obtusitermes monomorphus is compared with other small monomorphic nasutitermitines of Panama.

title: Simulated Nanopore amplicon sequencing dataset

description: The amplicon sequencing dataset was generated based on a collection of 154 high-quality haplotype sequences from 77 samples (Gueuning et al., 2023). These haplotype sequences were created from two overlapping long-range amplicons, spanning the full-length ABO gene and flanking regulatory region.

The dataset contains 77 FASTQ files, and each file contains 6,000 reads of fragmented amplicons that mimic Nanopore reads produced by the rapid sequencing kit and also contains a samplesheet CSV file (samplesheet_simData.csv), which can be used as an input for the NanoABO pipeline.

The new species is distinguished from other Austrolebias species by the unique male pigmentation pattern of the dorsal fin, with black vertical bars elongated from the base to the medial portion of the fin, and by the pattern of transversal black bars on the body, which become gradually shorter and fainter towards caudal peduncle. It is also distinguished from all species of the A. adloffi species group by the lower body depth and head (except in A. reicherti), lower anal fin base length and caudal fin length in males, and the lower head depth (except in A. reicherti) and anal fin base length in females. In addition, A. bagual females do not have the pair of black spots arranged vertically in close proximity on the posterior portion of caudal peduncle typical of most species of the A. adloffi group.

Most species have a strong solid body and brown complexion pigmentation. Here, field survey conducted in the month of December 2023. Photographic record from Astaranga, Odisha in India. In this paper deals with slender giant moray (Strophidon sathete Hamilton, 1822) with their ecological and distribution status.

title: Fossils of the oldest diplodocoid dinosaur suggest India was a major centre for neosauropod radiation

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Bajpai, Sunil, Datta, Debajit, Pandey, Pragya, Ghosh, Triparna, Kumar, Krishna, Bhattacharya, Debasish (2023): Fossils of the oldest diplodocoid dinosaur suggest India was a major centre for neosauropod radiation.

Here we report the first ever remains of a dicraeosaurid sauropod from India, Tharosaurus indicus gen. et sp. nov., from the Middle Jurassic (early–middle Bathonian) strata of Jaisalmer Basin, western India. Known from elements of the axial skeleton, the new taxon is phylogenetically among the earlier-diverging dicraeosaurids, and its stratigraphic age makes it the earliest known diplodocoid globally. Palaeobiogeographic considerations of Tharosaurus, seen in conjunction with the other Indian Jurassic sauropods, suggest that the new Indian taxon is a relic of a lineage that originated in India and underwent rapid dispersal across the rest of Pangaea. Here we emphasize the importance of Gondwanan India in tracing the origin and early evolutionary history of neosauropod dinosaurs.

ZooKeys 1244: 225-237, DOI: 10.3897/zookeys.1244.141409AbstractAnemonefishes (Teleostei, Pomacentridae) comprise approximately 28 species of damselfishes that exclusively live symbiotically with sea anemones. Distribution ranges vary, with some species only found in few isolated islands and others with ranges that span almost the entire Indo-Pacific. The orange-fin anemonefish, Amphiprion chrysopterus shows a wide distribution, from Australia to French Polynesia, extending north to Micronesia and the Marshall Islands. Two main color morphs exist, with a morph that displays a white tail and a second morph that has an orange tail. In French Polynesia, only the orange-tail morph is present, while in the rest of the range, the white-tail morph is prevalent, while the orange-tail morph is also present, but very uncommon. Here we assessed the potential presence of a cryptic species in French Polynesia based on morphology, mitochondrial markers, and full genome sequencing. Morphological and genetic results were consistent in identifying a separate group in French Polynesia, which we describe here as a new species: the Polynesian anemonefish, Amphiprion maohiensis.

Zoosystematics and Evolution 100 (3): 851-862, DOI: 10.3897/zse.100.120224AbstractThe Gaoligong Mountains are characterized by large variations in elevation and topography, which support high levels of biodiversity and endemism that remain largely understudied. Herein, based on the integration of morphological comparisons and phylogenetic reconstruction, we describe a new species of Rhacophorus from the northern Gaoligong Mountains, Yunnan Province, China. The new species, Rhacophorus dulongensis sp. nov., is morphologically distinguishable from its congeners based on the differences in body size, head length, tibia length, snout and tongue shape, toe webbing formula and coloration, ventral skin texture and coloration, dorsal pattern and coloration, body macroglands, iris coloration, and pattern of markings on flanks. Phylogenetically, it differs from its congeners by uncorrected p - distances of&gt; 4.8 % for the 16 S rRNA gene fragment. Rhacophorus dulongensis sp. nov. is likely to be found in Myanmar, considering its type locality lies close to the China-Myanmar border. The phylogenetic analysis revealed that the “ widespread ” species, R. rhodopus, is a species complex and a composite of five distinct lineages. The results revealed that R. napoensis is also found in Vietnam, making it a new country record for Vietnam. Interestingly, R. dulongensis sp. nov. likely breeds in bamboo, a hidden behavioral characteristic that makes them easy to overlook. Given the ongoing habitat loss and degradation in the region, further biological exploration is urgently needed in the Gaoligong Mountains as a biodiversity reservoir.

The presently reported specimens represent the first records of D. hasseltii based on voucher-specimens from Taiwanese waters, as well as the northernmost record in the western Pacific Ocean. Detailed description and comment on the Taiwanese records are provided.
