title: Redescription of Euastacus clydensis Riek, 1969 (Crustacea: Parastacidae), a valid species of spiny crayfish from southern New South Wales, Australia

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Wal, Cara Van Der, Ahyong, Shane T., Lo, Nathan, Ho, Simon Y. W., Mccormack, Robert B. (2022): Redescription of Euastacus clydensis Riek, 1969 (Crustacea: Parastacidae), a valid species of spiny crayfish from southern New South Wales, Australia. Zootaxa 5222 (3): 285-297, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5222.3.6AbstractThe Giant Sydney Crayfish (Euastacus spinifer (Heller, 1865)) was thought to have a wide range in New South Wales, Australia, spanning some 600 km north–south. A recent extensive molecular phylogenetic and population genomic analysis of E. spinifer across its geographical range revealed strong population structure corresponding to several major geographically correlated clades, the southernmost clade being the most genetically divergent and clearly a separate species. This southern clade corresponds to the junior synonym E. clydensis Riek, 1969 and is sister to the clade comprising the remaining populations of E. spinifer and Euastacus vesper. We formally remove E. clydensis from the synonymy of E. spinifer, increasing the recognised number of species of Euastacus to 54. Euastacus clydensis is redescribed based on type and other material, and is distinguished from E. spinifer by differences in abdominal spination and the form of the antennal scaphocerite. Euastacus clydensis has a restricted southern New South Wales range in the Shoalhaven and Jervis Bay– Clyde River catchments, from Moss Vale south to the vicinity of Clyde Mountain; much of the known range of E. clydensis was burnt in the 2019–2020 eastern Australian megafires.Key word: Astacidea, Decapoda, Euastacus, freshwater crayfish, Australia

title: A new species of the genus Murina (Chiroptera, Vespertilionidae) from the Southeastern Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, China

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Luo, Pengfei, Mao, Mingle, Yan, Chengrui, He, Qingqing, Yang, Qin, Deng, Huaiqing, Xiao, Ning, Zhou, Jiang (2025): A new species of the genus Murina (Chiroptera, Vespertilionidae) from the Southeastern Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, China. Zoosystematics and Evolution 101 (3): 983-997, DOI: 10.3897/zse.101.147349AbstractThe tube-nosed bats (genus Murina) are small insectivorous mammals that are primarily distributed in South, East, and Southeast Asia. The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) has long been an understudied region in bat surveys, especially for species of small arboreal bats, including Murina. In 2023, we surveyed the southeastern QTP and collected seven individual specimens of Murina. The specimens were identified using combined morphological and molecular data (the mitochondrial Cyt b gene). Phylogenetic analyses identified three unknown clades: Murina sp 1, Murina sp 2, and Murina sp 3. Murina sp 1 was most closely related to M. pluvialis, with a genetic distance of 0.09. Murina sp 2 was most closely related to M. shuipuensis, with a genetic distance of 0.13, and Murina sp 3 was most closely related to M. chrysochaetes, with a genetic distance of 0.15. All three species delimitation methods supported the partitioning of Murina sp 1, Murina sp 2, and Murina sp 3. Herein, we describe a new species, Murina chayuensis sp. nov. (Murina sp 1.), that is similar to M. annamitica and M. lorelieae. Owing to the limited number of specimens, Murina sp 2 and Murina sp 3 are not described in this study. Our results highlight the overlooked diversity of bats in the southeastern QTP, and thus this group warrants further surveys and taxonomic studies.

title: One hundred years of solitude: The rediscovery of Pristimantis ruidus (Anura, Strabomantidae) in the southern Andes, Ecuador and its phylogenetic relationships

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Sánchez-Nivicela, Juan C., Székely, Diana, Salagaje M., Luis A., Astudillo-Abad, Nicolás, Culebras, Jaime, Ortiz, Ernesto Arbeláez, Székely, Paul (2024): One hundred years of solitude: The rediscovery of Pristimantis ruidus (Anura, Strabomantidae) in the southern Andes, Ecuador and its phylogenetic relationships. Zoosystematics and Evolution 100 (3): 1107-1120, DOI: 10.3897/zse.100.119662AbstractWe report the rediscovery, a century after its last record, of two specimens of Pristimantis ruidus from approximately 6 km northeast of its type locality, in a montane forest from the western Andes of southern Ecuador. This species, described by John D. Lynch in 1979, based on specimens collected in 1922 by George H. Tate, was previously known only from the type series, all specimens originating from a single locality (Molleturo, Provincia Azuay, Ecuador, 2317 m elev.). The rediscovery occurred in November 2022 in the Reserva de Conservación Quitahuaycu, Molleturo Parish, Azuay Province. The two specimens, both females, are characterised by rough skin with numerous rounded low warts and tubercles on their dorsum, a W-shaped occipital fold, tympanum and tympanic ring not externally visible and by the lack of cranial crests, characters that correspond with the description of the holotype. We evaluate the phylogenetic relationships, based on two mitochondrial genes (12 S and 16 S rRNA) and one nuclear gene (RAG- 1). These analyses reveal Pristimantis ruidus as a member of the subgenus Huicundomantis, being most closely related to P. philipi, a species with a distribution restricted to the paramo of the same mountain region (Macizo del Cajas). Pristimantis ruidus co-exists with Pristimantis jimenezi, three additional species of Pristimantis and one Noblella with uncertain taxonomic status. This rediscovery underscores the urgency of implementing effective conservation and monitoring measures for the few remnants of the original ecosystems from western Ecuador, which face ongoing anthropogenic threats and harbour a diversity that remains insufficiently studied.

title: Characterization of the nutlet morpho-anatomical features of 12 Stachys taxa (Lamiaceae) from Turkey and its systematic practice

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Karaismailoğlu, Mehmet Cengiz, Güner, Özal, Akçiçek, Ekrem (2022): Characterization of the nutlet morpho-anatomical features of 12 Stachys taxa (Lamiaceae) from Turkey and its systematic practice. Phytotaxa 558 (2): 203-218, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.558.2.4, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/phytotaxa.558.2.4AbstractThis study contains the nutlet morpho-anatomical characters of 12 taxa, 9 of which are endemic, belonging to subsection Multibracteolatae of section Fragilicaulis of the genus Stachys from Turkey in a systematical context with utilizing cluster and principal component analyses. Morphological characteristics such as the shape, color, size, surfaces and microstructures of the nutlets have been examined with using light and scanning electron microscopes. Anatomically, the structures and thicknesses of the pericarp have been investigated. The consequences have disclosed that the taxa are macro-morphologically different from each other in terms of shape, color, size, presence of wings and trichomes of nutlets. Nutlet sizes range from 2.23 mm to 3.43 mm in length, and from 1.25 mm to 2.22 mm in width. As, S. laetivirens and S. megalodonta subsp. megalodonta are of the largest nutlets, S. megalodonta subsp. mardinensis and S. mardinensis have the smallest nutlets. Unlike the other taxa examined, S. megalodonta subsp. mardinensis and S. baytopiorum bear wing on the nutlet. Also, S. megalodonta subsp. megalodonta is unique with non-glandular trichomes on nutlet among the examined taxa. Nutlet surface ornamentation is clustered into 6 types: reticulate, reticulate-areolate, scalariform, verrucate, alveolate and reticulatefoveate. The most common type is reticulate, while scalariform, alveolate and reticulate-foveate ornamentation types are noticed as taxon-specific. Anatomically, the structure and thickness of the pericarp and its parts are the significant characters that reveal inter-specific correlations among the examined taxa. A diagnostic key is offered for the recognition of the studied taxa based on the nutlet characters.
