As a study case in this context, the present work aims at increasing the floristic knowledge of a reclaimed land now turned into an agricultural lowland with scarce patches of natural habitats. The study area is named Piana di Rosia, and it is located in southern Tuscany (Italy). The compiled checklist consists of 451 specific and subspecific taxa of vascular plants. The life-form spectrum shows a predominance of hemicryptophytes, followed by therophytes. The chorological spectrum highlights a co-dominance of Euri-Mediterranean and Eurasian species along with many widely distributed species. The checklist includes seven species of conservation concern, three Italian endemics (Crocus etruscus Parl., Polygala vulgaris L. subsp. valdarnensis (Fiori) Arrigoni, and Scabiosa uniseta Savi), 41 alien species, 21 segetal species, and 11 aquatic macrophytes of which five helophytes and six hydrophytes. This study suggests that irreversible land-use changes in wetlands can lead towards a simplification of the flora. However, despite the deep transformations that the former wetland has undergone, the presence of some aquatic and protected taxa is interesting. From a conservation point of view, the natural value of this agricultural area could be enhanced and its current management partly reconsidered, thus preserving the remnants of naturalness present.","publicationDate":"2021-01-01","doi":"10.3897/italianbotanist.11.62040","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/italianbotanist.11.62040","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["IT"],"source_details":{"id":77,"name":"Italian Botanist","slug":"italian-botanist","issn_l":"2531-4033","openalex_id":"S4210221877","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210221877","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210221877","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://italianbotanist.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/77/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/italian-botanist/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-italian-botanist.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-italian-botanist.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Bonari","Gianmaria"],"keywords":["Agroecosystem"],"topics":["Mediterranean and Iberian flora and fauna","Plant and Fungal Species Descriptions","Botany and Plant Ecology Studies"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W3128922672","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/italianbotanist.11.62040","mag":"3128922672","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W3128922672"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":12469,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[67.77417,25.40972]}]},"bbox":[67.77417,25.40972,67.77417,25.40972],"properties":{"title":"Anatomical characteristics of fossil wood collected from the Manchar Formation (Miocene), Thano Bula Khan, Sindh, Pakistan","type":"article","abstract":"The characterization of petrified wood provides valuable information about paleoclimatology and geological history and helps to reconstruct the past forest flora of different parts of the earth. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the anatomical characteristics of fossil wood of the Miocene age collected from the Manchar Formation exposed at Thano Bula Khan, Sindh, Pakistan. In order to carry out a detailed anatomical investigation, three-dimensional sections were prepared using a petrotome. The microscopic analysis allowed us to study vessel size and arrangement, wood parenchyma, fibers, and xylem rays. Based on the comparison between recent and fossil wood, we concluded that the investigated characters are comparable with those of the genus Atalantia Corrêa of the Rutaceae family. Therefore, it was named as Atalantioxylon thanobolensis sp. nov. with reference to the location of Thano Bula Khan from which the fossil wood was collected.","publicationDate":"2021-01-01","doi":"10.3897/italianbotanist.11.60344","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/italianbotanist.11.60344","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["PK"],"source_details":{"id":77,"name":"Italian Botanist","slug":"italian-botanist","issn_l":"2531-4033","openalex_id":"S4210221877","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210221877","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210221877","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://italianbotanist.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/77/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/italian-botanist/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-italian-botanist.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-italian-botanist.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Soomro","Noorulain"],"keywords":["Atalantioxylon thanobolensis sp. nov.

Research led to the identification of 101 taxa of bryophytes (21 liverworts and 80 mosses), among which two liverwort and 10 moss species are new records for the Umbria region, while four are confirmed. The study offers new outcomes on neglected aspects of the flora of central Italy and represents a considerable improvement of the floristic, biogeographical and ecological understanding of its bryophytic component. Additionally, the area turn out to be significant from the conservation point of view both nationally and internationally considering that it harbours high diversity of bryophytes species among which many rare, threatened and interesting species occur. Eighteen species of conservation interest in Italy are recorded during the latest investigation (all in category NT – near threatened). Additionally two species that are considered data deficient in Italy are present in the researched area (Conocephalum salebrosum and Fissidens curvatus). Also, there is a small populations of a species vulnerable (Marchantia paleacea), endangered (Bryum calophyllum) and data deficient (Fissidens curvatus and Barbula bolleana) in European scale.","publicationDate":"2020-01-01","doi":"10.3897/italianbotanist.10.54885","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/italianbotanist.10.54885","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["IT"],"source_details":{"id":77,"name":"Italian Botanist","slug":"italian-botanist","issn_l":"2531-4033","openalex_id":"S4210221877","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210221877","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210221877","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://italianbotanist.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/77/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/italian-botanist/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-italian-botanist.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-italian-botanist.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Poponessi","Silvia"],"keywords":["Bryophyte"],"topics":["Bryophyte Studies and Records","Botany and Plant Ecology Studies","Lichen and fungal ecology"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W3089346003","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/italianbotanist.10.54885","mag":"3089346003","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W3089346003"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":12459,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[11.16633,42.37083]}]},"bbox":[11.16633,42.37083,11.16633,42.37083],"properties":{"title":"Anthyllis cytisoides           L.

The Reserve, located in the central Apennines, covers about 3.2 km2 at altitudes ranging from 820 to 1,491 m a.s.l. It has been owned and managed as a strict reserve by the University of Camerino since 1970: all the anthropic activities ceased about 50 years ago, except for a minimal area where mowing and cattle grazing are still allowed.        The floristic list consists of 789 specific and subspecific taxa belonging to 81 families and 352 genera. Two species are new for Italy (Taraxacum calocarpum and T. pulchrifolium) and 14 for Marche regional flora. Compared to previous floristic studies, we found 127 more taxa but we showed a certain stability in the life-form spectrum, suggesting limited effects of dynamic processes related to climate and land-use changes. The negligible number of alien species (11) is probably related to the limitations to anthropic activities in the Reserve. The occurrence of taxa never recorded for Italy and Marche highlights the floristic value of the Reserve for species conservation in the central Apennines.","publicationDate":"2020-01-01","doi":"10.3897/italianbotanist.9.50032","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/italianbotanist.9.50032","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["IT"],"source_details":{"id":77,"name":"Italian Botanist","slug":"italian-botanist","issn_l":"2531-4033","openalex_id":"S4210221877","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210221877","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210221877","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://italianbotanist.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/77/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/italian-botanist/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-italian-botanist.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-italian-botanist.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Ballelli","Sandro"],"keywords":["Central Apennines"],"topics":["Mediterranean and Iberian flora and fauna","Botany and Plant Ecology Studies","Mycorrhizal Fungi and Plant Interactions"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W3036006892","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/italianbotanist.9.50032","mag":"3036006892","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W3036006892"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":12452,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[13.4092,42.65974]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[13.42585,42.25678]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[14.04057,41.86374]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[13.41242,41.49236]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[16.12948,39.88092]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[16.12444,39.87938]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[11.02569,45.43509]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[9.17214,45.49123]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[9.17404,45.49083]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[16.70214,40.7489]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[13.07112,43.13697]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[9.57397,44.22375]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[9.00778,44.57264]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.99264,44.56772]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.27501,44.15403]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[9.23787,45.48501]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[9.23862,45.48258]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.98365,44.51802]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[9.17725,44.53926]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[9.17537,44.55959]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.97936,44.57487]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[13.84431,43.07548]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[13.73792,43.16826]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[13.07145,43.13699]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[13.70478,43.17332]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[13.05502,43.20674]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[14.4806,40.68986]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[16.05121,40.12685]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[15.92994,39.9423]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[15.01583,41.66833]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[14.82639,41.81944]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[16.11472,40.04223]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[7.74062,45.76153]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[16.44281,39.9725]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[9.02079,44.58979]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[10.23121,44.06237]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[10.23097,44.05896]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[10.28495,44.06174]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.86994,40.91962]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[7.99439,44.11036]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[9.68043,44.25064]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[10.22108,44.06619]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[16.44073,40.92602]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[9.96347,44.09816]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.87038,40.91994]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[16.42455,40.0491]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[9.97788,44.07618]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[11.14307,45.51918]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[10.915,45.42051]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[12.74431,43.39232]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[11.48655,43.83027]}]},"bbox":[7.74062,39.87938,16.70214,45.76153],"properties":{"title":"Notulae to the Italian native vascular flora: 9","type":"article","abstract":"In this contribution, new data concerning the distribution of native vascular flora in Italy are presented.

Delile meadows was evaluated on the northern coast of Lazio, Italy (central Tyrrhenian, Mediterranean sea). This is an infra-littoral zone with a wide range of anthropogenic activities and high geo-morphological variability, which reflects heterogeneity in shoot density, leaf morphology and biomass in fragmented patches. Genetic variability in populations corresponds to the formation of 3 sub-clusters, in the diverse impacted zones (north, centre and south), being correlated to the geographical distance between sites. AMOVA estimated a high genetic variation showing 43.05% individual differences within populations with a marked differentiation among the populations (56.9%) indicated by Fst value (0.57). These results revealed the role of the genetic structure of seagrasses for determining selectivity of fragmented habitat, in response to natural drivers. They showed that site-specific self-recruitment is related to biodiversity capacity and to the geo-morphological characteristic of the coast.","publicationDate":"2020-01-01","doi":"10.3897/italianbotanist.9.46426","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/italianbotanist.9.46426","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["IT"],"source_details":{"id":77,"name":"Italian Botanist","slug":"italian-botanist","issn_l":"2531-4033","openalex_id":"S4210221877","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210221877","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210221877","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://italianbotanist.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/77/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/italian-botanist/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-italian-botanist.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-italian-botanist.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Gnisci","Valentina"],"keywords":["AMOVA"],"topics":["Marine and coastal plant biology","Coastal wetland ecosystem dynamics","Marine Biology and Ecology Research"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W3000025037","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/italianbotanist.9.46426","mag":"3000025037","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W3000025037"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":12446,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[16.61615,40.66453]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[17.19056,40.56632]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[14.14273,42.11324]}]},"bbox":[14.14273,40.56632,17.19056,42.11324],"properties":{"title":"Chromosome numbers for the Italian flora: 8","type":"article","abstract":"In this contribution, new chromosome data obtained on material collected in Italy are presented.

Light stress on plants can also result in developmental instability, which can manifest as increased fluctuating asymmetry in leaves or other organs. The relationship between light conditions and fluctuating asymmetry has been documented in experimental populations, but has been less frequently observed in the wild. Here, we studied how leaf surface area and fluctuating asymmetry correlate with light intensity in a wild population of Adenostyles alliariae (Asteraceae). We found strong evidence that leaf surface area increases and weak evidence that fluctuating asymmetry increases as light intensity decreases. Our results help to elucidate the relationship between light stress and developmental instability under naturally occurring conditions.","publicationDate":"2019-01-01","doi":"10.3897/italianbotanist.8.39393","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/italianbotanist.8.39393","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["IT"],"source_details":{"id":77,"name":"Italian Botanist","slug":"italian-botanist","issn_l":"2531-4033","openalex_id":"S4210221877","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210221877","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210221877","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://italianbotanist.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/77/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/italian-botanist/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-italian-botanist.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-italian-botanist.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Francis","Bailey"],"keywords":["fluctuating asymmetry"],"topics":["Morphological variations and asymmetry","Leaf Properties and Growth Measurement","Seed and Plant Biochemistry"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2992581249","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/italianbotanist.8.39393","mag":"2992581249","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W2992581249"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":12436,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[10.28416,44.47278]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[16.08722,39.34085]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[13.51305,42.2125]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[11.82518,43.80902]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[10.67218,43.71388]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[11.09556,44.22385]}]},"bbox":[10.28416,39.34085,16.08722,44.47278],"properties":{"title":"Chromosome numbers for the Italian flora: 7","type":"article","abstract":"In this contribution, new chromosome data obtained on material collected in Italy are presented.

In this study, we investigated the epiphytic lichen flora of a small forest patch included in the Majella National Park (Abruzzo), whose old growth features and naturalness reflect its long lasting spiritual role that perfectly fits with the concept of Sacred Natural Site. Results revealed that the “Bosco di Sant’Antonio” hosts a rich and interesting epiphytic lichen flora, thus indicating the potential of this Sacred Natural Site for lichen conservation. Fifty-six species were found including two species newly recorded in Abruzzo, two red-listed species, and the sensitive species Lobaria pulmonaria. This study corroborates the hypothesis that sacred forest sites are relevant for the conservation of specialized epiphytic lichens. In particular, in the Italian forest landscape where old-growth stands are practically absent, sacred forest sites may provide unique old-growth structures and buffer anthropogenic disturbance.","publicationDate":"2019-01-01","doi":"10.3897/italianbotanist.7.34639","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/italianbotanist.7.34639","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["IT"],"source_details":{"id":77,"name":"Italian

The study area, located in the province of Siena, has an extension of 2.26 km2 and hosts a heterogeneity of habitats like rocky outcrops, woodlands, meadows and riparian formations. The prevalent geological type is an acidic sedimentary rock known as diaspri formation (jasper). The checklist of vascular flora consists of 501 taxa and includes six endemics and 13 alien species, among which Vitis labrusca is a newly-found species for the Province of Siena along with the native Rosa balsamica and Rosa squarrosa. The most interesting species, such as Anthoxanthum aristatum, Gagea bohemica, Paragymnopteris marantae, Saxifraga granulata, and Teesdalia coronopifolia, are found on acidic rocks. Species of the Italian Red List, such as Ruscus aculeatus, and species of Regional conservation interest, such as Centaurea aplolepa subsp. carueliana, Ervilia loiseleurii, and Vicia nigricans, were recorded. The chorological spectrum reveals a dominance of Mediterranean species indicating warm climate conditions and mild winters whereas the life-form spectrum shows a slight dominance of hemicryptophytes followed by therophytes. However, a clear dominance of one life-form type over the other is lacking, since the acidic and dry rocky substrate partially compensates for the humidity provided by the stream. This study highlights the relevant floristic value of the Miniera di Murlo area and supports the possible creation of a protected area or its inclusion in the adjacent one.","publicationDate":"2019-01-01","doi":"10.3897/italianbotanist.7.33763","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/italianbotanist.7.33763","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["IT"],"source_details":{"id":77,"name":"Italian Botanist","slug":"italian-botanist","issn_l":"2531-4033","openalex_id":"S4210221877","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210221877","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210221877","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://italianbotanist.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/77/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/italian-botanist/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-italian-botanist.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-italian-botanist.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Cannucci","Silvia"],"keywords":["Central Italy"],"topics":["Mediterranean and Iberian flora and fauna","Botany and Plant Ecology Studies","Mycorrhizal Fungi and Plant Interactions"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2936777364","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/italianbotanist.7.33763","mag":"2936777364","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W2936777364"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":12423,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[13.5175,42.23083]}]},"bbox":[13.5175,42.23083,13.5175,42.23083],"properties":{"title":"Lathyro asphodeloidis-Klaseetum lycopifoliae, a new plant association in the alliance Cynosurion cristati Tüxen, 1947 in Central Apennines","type":"article","abstract":"This study presents a new plant association discovered in the Central Apennines and named Lathyro asphodeloidis-Klaseetum lycopifoliae.

Marmore Waterfalls may represent an important area for the conservation of fungal diversity, due to the presence of 34 species matching those included in Red Lists of several European countries.","publicationDate":"2019-01-01","doi":"10.3897/italianbotanist.7.33308","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/italianbotanist.7.33308","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["IT"],"source_details":{"id":77,"name":"Italian Botanist","slug":"italian-botanist","issn_l":"2531-4033","openalex_id":"S4210221877","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210221877","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210221877","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://italianbotanist.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/77/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/italian-botanist/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-italian-botanist.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-italian-botanist.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Venanzoni","Roberto"],"keywords":["Ascomycota"],"topics":["Mycorrhizal Fungi and Plant Interactions","Plant Pathogens and Fungal Diseases","Lichen and fungal ecology"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2923213891","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/italianbotanist.7.33308","mag":"2923213891","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W2923213891"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":12418,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[10.2702,44.05614]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[16.30727,39.60523]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[10.83002,45.85846]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[11.06152,45.88866]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[10.89772,45.88428]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[10.81784,46.50168]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[7.90347,45.32806]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[7.89865,45.32652]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[7.60374,45.15325]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.07407,45.42672]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.06507,45.43904]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.03392,45.20483]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[7.42867,44.73092]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[11.12242,45.82923]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[16.21516,39.89715]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[16.21793,39.38906]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[15.55037,40.14015]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[11.35843,43.18479]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[10.1122,45.94831]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[10.13379,45.9425]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[10.23359,45.93227]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[10.11441,45.95876]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[10.10894,45.96766]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[10.15154,45.8775]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[11.38061,43.13903]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[16.54677,39.3834]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[11.38061,43.13901]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[11.34107,42.69691]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[11.38054,43.13899]}]},"bbox":[7.42867,39.3834,16.54677,46.50168],"properties":{"title":"Notulae to the Italian flora of algae, bryophytes, fungi and lichens: 6","type":"article","abstract":"In this contribution, new data concerning bryophytes, fungi, and lichens of the Italian flora are presented.

These plants share the same chromosome number (2n = 2x = 8) and ITS sequence with C. biflorus s. str.","publicationDate":"2018-01-01","doi":"10.3897/italianbotanist.6.28729","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/italianbotanist.6.28729","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["IT"],"source_details":{"id":77,"name":"Italian Botanist","slug":"italian-botanist","issn_l":"2531-4033","openalex_id":"S4210221877","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210221877","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210221877","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://italianbotanist.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/77/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/italian-botanist/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-italian-botanist.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-italian-botanist.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Roma-Marzio","Francesco"],"keywords":["Chromosome number"],"topics":["Saffron Plant Research Studies","Plant Diversity and Evolution","Plant and Fungal Species Descriptions"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2889716595","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/italianbotanist.6.28729","mag":"2889716595","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W2889716595"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":12405,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[9.25169,40.0167]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[14.08616,42.24001]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[13.82154,42.26617]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[13.58103,42.77121]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[13.71175,42.48856]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[16.51416,39.9061]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[15.79295,41.67159]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[16.85895,40.62703]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[16.4228,40.90396]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[12.61409,42.43125]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[13.09325,42.56035]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[14.19852,40.54905]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[14.19824,40.55713]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[14.22935,40.55938]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[14.23714,40.55671]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[14.25192,40.54341]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[16.21204,41.0204]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[13.04959,42.44698]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[12.96242,42.44231]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[12.90438,42.51347]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[12.99754,42.46443]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[12.99214,42.44679]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[12.91424,42.49041]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[12.9031,42.49889]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[11.62541,42.51089]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[14.49671,40.64685]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[16.45105,40.04053]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[10.33493,43.73703]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[12.57258,43.35189]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[14.21869,42.45092]}]},"bbox":[9.25169,39.9061,16.85895,43.73703],"properties":{"title":"Notulae to the Italian native vascular flora: 5","type":"article","abstract":"In this contribution, new data concerning the distribution of native vascular flora in Italy are presented.

(Liliaceae) in the northern Apennines (Italy)","type":"article","abstract":"Relationships between age, time of emergence, and leaf traits of individuals were investigated in a population of Erythronium dens-canis L. in a hilly woodland area named Farneto-C, near Bologna, Italy. In 2015, 591 individuals were counted, 19 of which were flowering (FLO), 442 were mature non-flowering (MNF) and 130 were juveniles (JUV). FLO emerged at the end of February, whereas most MNF and JUV appeared at the middle and end of March, respectively. The mean aboveground survivorship of MNF was 24 days. Most MNF had large, oval to shield-shaped leaves with red-brown mottling, whereas most JUV leaves were smaller, usually oblong or lanceolate with a rough maculation or none. These results suggest that both timing of emergence and leaf shape are related to the age of the bulb. Based on leaf background, plants were classified into three major types with a likely genetic basis in the 2015 and 2016 surveys (the latter limited to FLO): a dominant silvery type (SLV, 62–74%), silvery-and-green type (S&G, 23–32%), and a less frequent vivid-green type (GRN, 3–5%). Several subtypes were also identified, but only one was dominant within each type. The three basic patterns appear to be phenotypically stable and no differences between MNF and FLO were found; once the juvenile stage has passed, each plant produces the same leaf type year after year. In addition, our results on the discoloration time-course of red-brown spots suggest that the functional role of leaf mottling is not related to pollinator attraction.

A short description of these closely related clovers, based on the study of fresh plant material, revision of herbarium specimens, and analysis of the relevant literature, is provided. Diagnostic features were highlighted by means of high-resolution digital images and, accordingly, an identification key is given. Trifolium spumosum, T. vesiculosum, T. mutabile and T. setiferum are reported to be distributed throughout Italy. We have updated the Italian distribution of the first three species by providing new occurrences from Tuscany, Umbria, Campania, Basilicata, and Calabria and by correcting previous references. The current presence of T. multistriatum in southern Italy is confirmed by our study, while T. setiferum must be excluded from the flora of Sicily. The study resulted in five new regional occurrences and 16 changes of presence status. Finally, intermediate forms between T. vesiculosum, T. multistriatum and T. mutabile were found both in living material and in the revised herbarium specimens.","publicationDate":"2016-01-01","doi":"10.3897/italianbotanist.2.10361","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/italianbotanist.2.10361","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["IT"],"source_details":{"id":77,"name":"Italian Botanist","slug":"italian-botanist","issn_l":"2531-4033","openalex_id":"S4210221877","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210221877","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210221877","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://italianbotanist.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/77/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/italian-botanist/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-italian-botanist.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-italian-botanist.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Scoppola","Anna"],"keywords":["Central and southern Italy"],"topics":["Plant Parasitism and Resistance","Plant and animal studies","Botanical Research and Chemistry"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2531090184","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/italianbotanist.2.10361","mag":"2531090184","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W2531090184"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":12374,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[11.36667,46.05]}]},"bbox":[11.36667,46.05,11.36667,46.05],"properties":{"title":"Second record of Hammarbya paludosa (L.)

Ten oak and ten beech leaf-filled, defaunated litterbags were placed under an oak tree, and the same were placed under a beech tree (forty litterbags in total). Five litterbags of each type were collected six and twelve months after the beginning of the experiment, in June and December, respectively.         Microarthropod fauna differed between the two sampling events, showing higher diversity and abundance in winter, reflecting the progress of colonization. Microarthropod faunal abundance and species numbers in litterbags filled with oak leaves and placed under the oak trees were significantly higher than those in the other types of litterbags, suggesting the adaptation of the local microarthropod community to this type of litter. The trophic composition of microarthropods showed a higher diversity at the end of the experiment, with increased ratios of predatory and fungivorous taxa, indicating more diverse and easily accessible food resources. Litter dry mass declined continuously for beech litter, while the rate of decline slowed in oak litter between the first and the second sampling events, probably due to the more robust structure of oak leaves compared to beech.","publicationDate":"2026-01-01","doi":"10.3897/caucasiana.5.e169526","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/caucasiana.5.e169526","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["GE"],"source_details":{"id":76,"name":"Caucasiana","slug":"caucasiana","issn_l":"2667-9809","openalex_id":"S4210198213","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210198213","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210198213","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://caucasiana.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/76/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/caucasiana/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-caucasiana.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-caucasiana.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Murvanidze","Maka"],"keywords":["decomposition"],"topics":["Ecology and Vegetation Dynamics Studies","Collembola Taxonomy and Ecology Studies","Forest Ecology and Biodiversity Studies"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W7147003419","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/caucasiana.5.e169526","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W7147003419"},"openalex_open_access_status":"diamond","locations":[]}},{"id":12359,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[44.8,41.7]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[81.61667,47.28333]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[82.1,47.16667]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[82.3,47.05]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[69.61667,40.28333]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[69.93333,41.68333]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[81.46667,50.45]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[66.81667,38.76667]}]},"bbox":[44.8,38.76667,82.3,50.45],"properties":{"title":"A revalidation and redescription of the orb-web spider Araniella tbilisiensis (Mcheidze 1997) (Araneae: Araneidae)","type":"article","abstract":"Based on the female lectotype from the D.E.

Traditionally under-recorded due to its small size and elusive behaviour, the species' presence has remained uncertain, with only a few historical or unverified records. In this study, we analysed barn owl (Tyto alba) pellets collected across eastern Georgia between 2023 and 2025 to assess the presence of S. etruscus in the region. From a total of 6,627 prey items extracted and identified, 41 individuals of S. etruscus were found in pellets from 12 different locations in Kakheti and Kvemo Kartli regions. These findings significantly expand the known distribution of the species in Georgia and suggest that it is more common in lowland habitats than previously believed. Given the barn owl’s relatively small foraging range, the occurrence of S. etruscus remains in pellets is a reliable indicator of its local presence. Our results highlight the value of raptor pellet analysis in detecting elusive small mammals and suggest that S. etruscus may have been previously overlooked due to methodological limitations in traditional trapping surveys. This study provides a new foundation for understanding the distribution and habitat preferences of this poorly known species in the Caucasus.","publicationDate":"2025-01-01","doi":"10.3897/caucasiana.4.e162106","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/caucasiana.4.e162106","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["GE"],"source_details":{"id":76,"name":"Caucasiana","slug":"caucasiana","issn_l":"2667-9809","openalex_id":"S4210198213","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210198213","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210198213","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://caucasiana.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/76/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/caucasiana/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-caucasiana.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-caucasiana.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Kitel","Denis"],"keywords":["Suncus etruscus"],"topics":["Animal Ecology and Behavior Studies","Wildlife Ecology and Conservation","Plant and animal studies"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4414440334","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/caucasiana.4.e162106","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4414440334"},"openalex_open_access_status":"diamond","locations":[]}},{"id":12349,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[44.89389,41.715]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[44.86583,41.7325]}]},"bbox":[44.86583,41.715,44.89389,41.7325],"properties":{"title":"Yodelling death – on interspecific aggression in overwintering Black-throated Divers (Gavia arctica) (Aves: Gaviidae)","type":"article","abstract":"Two cases of interspecific aggression by overwintering black-throated divers directed at great crested grebes Podiceps cristatus, are for the first time described from Georgia and the South Caucasus. In one case, the attack on a pair of great crested grebes had a fatal outcome for one grebe. The reasons for interspecific aggression outside the breeding season and the biological basis of this behaviour is discussed and observations compared with available literature. Due to the anecdotal nature of current knowledge of this puzzling issue no explanation for interspecific aggression per se is provided. The previously published hypothesis that competition for fish prey might play a role is supported. Observed interspecific aggression included adopting the aggressive display postures and performing actions used in territorial defence typical for the black-throated diver and the four larger Gavia species, such as fencing, crouching, bill-dipping, rushing, bow-jumping, and wing-flapping. Calls uttered during attack are a characteristic shortened form of the territorial yodel. A previously unpublished behaviour possibly linked to interspecific aggression of black-throated divers is described. Observation data obtained from 2021-2025 show that the black-throated diver is a regular passage migrant and winter guest at Tbilisi reservoir, emphasising the importance of the reservoir as a migration stop-over for the species in inland Georgia.","publicationDate":"2025-01-01","doi":"10.3897/caucasiana.4.e151878","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/caucasiana.4.e151878","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["GE"],"source_details":{"id":76,"name":"Caucasiana","slug":"caucasiana","issn_l":"2667-9809","openalex_id":"S4210198213","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210198213","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210198213","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://caucasiana.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/76/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/caucasiana/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-caucasiana.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-caucasiana.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Schröter","Asmus"],"keywords":["arctic diver"],"topics":["Animal Ecology and Behavior Studies","Wildlife Ecology and Conservation","Plant and animal studies"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4414184116","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/caucasiana.4.e151878","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4414184116"},"openalex_open_access_status":"diamond","locations":[]}},{"id":12348,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[44.1352,41.9927]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[44.6995,41.7796]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[44.8202,41.5893]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[44.7337,41.7414]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[42.0593,41.9565]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[44.7788,41.7574]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[44.7484,41.7125]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[44.7326,41.7489]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[44.9422,41.5778]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[45.3347,41.5465]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[45.5444,41.6159]}]},"bbox":[42.0593,41.5465,45.5444,41.9927],"properties":{"title":"New data on spiders (Arthropoda, Arachnida, Araneae) of Georgia with description of a new species from Tegenaria lyncea group","type":"article","abstract":"In this paper we present new faunistic and regional data on the Agelenidae, Gnaphosidae, Linyphiidae, and Lycosidae of Georgia.

The research, conducted between 2016 and 2022, identified 19 fish species, including nine native to the Kura River basin and ten introduced or invasive species. The construction of a hydro power plant (HPP) dam in the 1980s and other subsequent anthropogenic activities have significantly altered the river ecosystem, creating distinct upstream, reservoir, and downstream sections with varying fish communities.     The study reveals a concerning ongoing impact of anthropogenic factors on the Algeti River's fish fauna and whole ecosystem. The dam impedes fish migration; in addition, pollution, particularly in the mid-downstream section, has led to habitat degradation and a decline in native species. The introduction of non-native species, including predatory and bioturbator species, poses a substantial threat to the native fish populations.     Our findings highlight the urgent need for conservation action to mitigate these threats. While the river's headwaters are within a protected area and some species are on the Red List of Georgia, alone these designations are insufficient safeguard. Effective conservation strategies must include stricter enforcement against illegal activities like poaching, as well as better pollution control and habitat management to preserve the Algeti River's biodiversity. This baseline study provides critical data for future research and conservation planning in this ecologically important region.","publicationDate":"2025-01-01","doi":"10.3897/caucasiana.4.e155494","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/caucasiana.4.e155494","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["GE"],"source_details":{"id":76,"name":"Caucasiana","slug":"caucasiana","issn_l":"2667-9809","openalex_id":"S4210198213","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210198213","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210198213","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://caucasiana.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/76/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/caucasiana/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-caucasiana.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-caucasiana.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Epitashvili","Giorgi"],"keywords":["Artificial barriers"],"topics":["Fish Ecology and Management Studies","Fish Biology and Ecology Studies","Aquatic Invertebrate Ecology and Behavior"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4411373821","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/caucasiana.4.e155494","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4411373821"},"openalex_open_access_status":"diamond","locations":[]}},{"id":12342,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[44.6457,41.6389]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[43.3965,41.5843]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[44.7009,41.6758]}]},"bbox":[43.3965,41.5843,44.7009,41.6758],"properties":{"title":"From burrows to spotlight: first description of the female of Eresus lavrosii Mcheidze, 1997 (Araneae, Eresidae), with notes on the natural history","type":"article","abstract":"Eresidae      (velvet spiders) is a relatively small family of spiders, most-diversified in the African continent.

Koch, 1879; Aituaria eriashvilii (Marusik, 1987); Evippa sjostedti Schenkel, 1936; Lathys cf. lehtineni Kovblyuk, Kastrygina & Omelko, 2014; Zelotes segrex (Simon, 1878); Lathys lehtineni Kovblyuk, Kastrygina & Omelko, 2014; Maculoncus obscurus Tanasevitch, Ponomarev & Chumachenko, 2016) are barcoded for the first time. In addition, 12 new regional records for 10 species are provided. The collecting information for each record is provided in detail, together with a discussion of the barcoding results and remarks, supported by 48 diagnostic drawings of 22 first-recorded species. A potential synonymy of Pelecopsis odontophora (Kulczyński, 1895) with P. parallela (Wider, 1834) and Bassaniodes loeffleri (Roewer, 1955) with B. pseudorectilineus (Wunderlich, 1995) is discussed.","publicationDate":"2024-01-01","doi":"10.3897/caucasiana.3.e120883","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/caucasiana.3.e120883","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["AZ","GE"],"source_details":{"id":76,"name":"Caucasiana","slug":"caucasiana","issn_l":"2667-9809","openalex_id":"S4210198213","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210198213","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210198213","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://caucasiana.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/76/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/caucasiana/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-caucasiana.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-caucasiana.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Seropian","Armen"],"keywords":["Aranei"],"topics":["Spider Taxonomy and Behavior Studies","Lepidoptera: Biology and Taxonomy","Hymenoptera taxonomy and phylogeny"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4395664731","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/caucasiana.3.e120883","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4395664731"},"openalex_open_access_status":"diamond","locations":[]}},{"id":12320,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[48.88506,38.42428]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[49.46578,37.50775]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[50.56714,36.9875]}]},"bbox":[48.88506,36.9875,50.56714,38.42428],"properties":{"title":"Length-weight relationships of four difficult-to-sample Caspian endemic gobies (Teleostei: Gobiidae): Benthophilus persicus, Benthophilus baeri, Knipowitschia longecaudata, and Hyrcanogobius bergi","type":"article","abstract":"The present study provides the length-weight relationships (LWRs) for four difficult-to-sample Caspian endemic gobies for the first time: Benthophilus persicus, Benthophilus baeri, Knipowitschia longecaudata, and Hyrcanogobius bergi.

Overall, 52 species were recorded during the study. The most abundant oribatid mite species were Steganacarus carinatus, Aleurodamaeus setosus, Xenillus tegeocranus, Ceratoppia bipilis, Oribatula tibialis, and Punctoribates punctum. Interestingly, 23 species of oribatid mites were recorded for the first time from the limestone quarry of Saskhori, and one species (Liacarus oribatelloides) was a new record for the Caucasus fauna. The following indices were analyzed: abundance (N), species diversity (S), Shannon’s diversity index (H), and Pielou’s evenness index (J’). Regarding the obtained results, the highest density of oribatid mites was recorded in the habitat with Shibliak shrubbery (332 inds/m2), while the forest habitat was characterized with the highest value for Shannon’s diversity index (2,64). In the publication, we also provide a detailed morphological description of the newly recorded species L. oribatelloides, with the respective illustration, as no figures are given in its original description.","publicationDate":"2023-01-01","doi":"10.3897/caucasiana.2.e110495","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/caucasiana.2.e110495","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["GE"],"source_details":{"id":76,"name":"Caucasiana","slug":"caucasiana","issn_l":"2667-9809","openalex_id":"S4210198213","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210198213","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210198213","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://caucasiana.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/76/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/caucasiana/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-caucasiana.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-caucasiana.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Arabuli","Tea"],"keywords":["Caucasus"],"topics":["Study of Mite Species","Invertebrate Taxonomy and Ecology","Rangeland and Wildlife Management"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4388762291","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/caucasiana.2.e110495","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4388762291"},"openalex_open_access_status":"diamond","locations":[]}},{"id":12306,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[46.53333,41.18333]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[46.36528,41.2375]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[46.56667,41.16]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[46.64667,41.11111]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[45.97222,41.22028]}]},"bbox":[45.97222,41.11111,46.64667,41.2375],"properties":{"title":"A new species and family of beetle for Georgia (Sakartvelo): Arrhaphipterus schelkownikoffi Reitter, 1893 (Coleoptera: Rhipiceridae)","type":"article","abstract":"Abstract                                                    Arrhaphipterus schelkownikoffi           Reitter, 1893, is reported from Georgia for the first time.

Here, we record the greater horseshoe bat (Rhinolophus ferrumequinum) and the lesser mouse-eared bat (Myotis blythii) as hosts of C. lectularius from two Georgian and one Armenian sites. A summary of all known published records of bat-associated populations of C. lectularius shows they are both scattered and restricted to the Palearctic only. Observations of C. lectularius from bat colonies in Georgia and Armenia were made in old buildings or ruins, like churches or monasteries, but not in caves, despite a specific search. This supports previous studies suggesting that 1) bat-associations of common bed bugs are very rare outside Central Europe and 2) almost never occur in caves. We discuss climatic conditions and host preferences as possible factors for these findings and the implications for the origin of the human bed bug interaction.","publicationDate":"2023-01-01","doi":"10.3897/caucasiana.2.e104244","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/caucasiana.2.e104244","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["AM","GE","IR"],"source_details":{"id":76,"name":"Caucasiana","slug":"caucasiana","issn_l":"2667-9809","openalex_id":"S4210198213","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210198213","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210198213","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://caucasiana.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/76/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/caucasiana/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-caucasiana.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-caucasiana.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Ghazaryan","Astghik"],"keywords":["Bed bug"],"topics":["Dermatological diseases and infestations","Bat Biology and Ecology Studies","Insects and Parasite Interactions"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4385233565","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/caucasiana.2.e104244","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4385233565"},"openalex_open_access_status":"diamond","locations":[]}},{"id":12300,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[44.77361,41.76948]}]},"bbox":[44.77361,41.76948,44.77361,41.76948],"properties":{"title":"The first barcode-assisted record of Tropidopola turanica Uvarov, 1926 (Orthoptera, Acrididae) from Georgia","type":"article","abstract":"Abstract                The genus Tropidopola (Insecta, Orthoptera) is recorded in Georgia for the first time.

Georgia is situated in the middle of this area, between the ranges of the Greater and Lesser Caucasus, a position providing exceptionally balanced environmental conditions for its flora and fauna. Animal groups of low mobility, such as land snails, are important indicators of the past and present geographic and climatic events shaping these unique ecosystems. We give an overview of the land snail family Clausiliidae in Georgia that includes 30 species, among which eight are endemic to this country. Their distribution areas are reassessed in the light of novel georeferenced occurrence data resulting from recent field work. Aspects of the origin, diversity, habitat requirements and conservation status of the Georgian Clausiliidae fauna are discussed.

In total, 423 young gibel carp collected during 2014-2018 years from Jandari Lake have been subject to parasitological examination. The 20.3% (n=86) of examined fish were invaded by 11 species of parasites belonging to 5 taxonomic groups. The dominant taxonomic groups were discovered to be Protozoa and Monogenea. The eight species were registered for the first time in the gibel carp of freshwater reservoirs in Georgia. In general, young fish were more invaded by the monoxenic species of the direct life cycle. None of the revealed parasites were specific to gibel carp. The parasitic fauna of Jandari Lake is relatively poor, though it is comparatively rich and diverse in spring. Trichodina sp. from Protozoa, Ancyrocephalus sp., Dactylogyrus vastator, Gyrodactylus elegans from Monogenea, and Contracaecum sp. from Nematoda were revealed as the species most sensitive to annual changes. The main factor determining the parasite fauna of gibel carp in Lake Jandari is anthropogenic eutrophication, which changes the qualitative and quantitative composition of zooplankton, the main food source of juvenile fish and intermediate hosts of helminths. The difference in invasion indices between female and male gibel carp was insignificant. The synergetic relationship between some parasitic protozoans and monogeneans was marked.","publicationDate":"2023-01-01","doi":"10.3897/caucasiana.2.e95777","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/caucasiana.2.e95777","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["GE"],"source_details":{"id":76,"name":"Caucasiana","slug":"caucasiana","issn_l":"2667-9809","openalex_id":"S4210198213","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210198213","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210198213","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://caucasiana.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/76/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/caucasiana/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-caucasiana.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-caucasiana.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Murvanidze","Lali"],"keywords":["Protozoa"],"topics":["Environmental and Biological Research in Conflict Zones","Parasite Biology and Host Interactions","Fish Biology and Ecology Studies"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4328130684","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/caucasiana.2.e95777","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4328130684"},"openalex_open_access_status":"diamond","locations":[]}},{"id":12289,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[41.71367,41.5285]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[41.7115,41.50437]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[41.66147,41.56557]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[41.64957,41.57372]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[41.5788,41.59287]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[41.68248,41.66572]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[41.66458,41.64988]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[41.60742,41.62447]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[42.06915,41.98745]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[42.14743,42.01577]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[42.34447,41.94832]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[41.80378,41.82248]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[42.32247,42.1049]}]},"bbox":[41.5788,41.50437,42.34447,42.1049],"properties":{"title":"New distribution records of the alien plant – Sicyos angulatus L.

However, they remain poorly documented across Central America. This study investigated crop depredation at the forest edge of a 10 ha cassava (Manihot esculenta) field (“yucal”) in Mavita, Honduran Mosquitia, embedded within a mosaic of Pinus caribaea and tropical moist forest. From December 2024 to February 2025, three camera traps, coupled with solar-powered, motion-activated LED lights (“silent technology”), were deployed to identify the true crop-raiding community and describe diel activity. Contrary to local expectations, rabbits (Sylvilagus hondurensis) emerged as the primary crop raiders, while tapirs (Tapirus bairdii) were present but not the sole culprits. No evidence of pacas (Cuniculus paca) or armadillos (Dasypus mexicanus) was found. Light-assisted traps consistently recorded rabbits but were less effective for other taxa (e.g., ocelots), despite moderate-to-high temporal overlap among species. Ordinal models indicated that higher behavioral response codes were more likely later in the day, and rabbits showed lower behavioral intensities than other groups. These findings highlight how forest structure and edge context can shape detection and behavior and how misattribution of damage can arise in remote forest landscapes. Non-invasive diagnostics, including light-assisted camera traps, and buffer cassava plots at forest margins are recommended to accommodate wildlife foraging while reducing direct impacts on fields. This study provides forest-centric evidence to guide conflict mitigation and coexistence strategies within Miskitu territories of the Honduran Caribbean Lowlands.","publicationDate":"2026-01-01","doi":"10.3897/neotropical.21.e187958","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.21.e187958","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["HN"],"source_details":{"id":75,"name":"Neotropical Biology and Conservation","slug":"neotropical-biology-and-conservation","issn_l":"2236-3777","openalex_id":"S4210214477","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210214477","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210214477","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://neotropical.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/75/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/neotropical-biology-and-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Turcios Casco","Manfredo Alejandro"],"keywords":["Camera traps"],"topics":["Wildlife Ecology and Conservation","Animal Ecology and Behavior Studies","Primate Behavior and Ecology"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W7162129526","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.21.e187958","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W7162129526"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":12276,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-97.29769,18.15833]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-97.26578,18.16025]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-97.24308,18.17078]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-97.19061,18.14058]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-97.12942,18.13667]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-97.11653,18.10081]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-97.11633,18.06472]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-97.13125,18.04961]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-97.05964,17.99675]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-97.00875,17.93061]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-97.02989,17.86464]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-96.98494,17.90538]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-96.9825,17.89792]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-96.99228,17.87478]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-96.98569,17.86608]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-96.96075,17.81158]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-96.95472,17.76706]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-96.91167,17.65417]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-96.83661,17.59486]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-96.85317,17.56067]}]},"bbox":[-97.29769,17.56067,-96.83661,18.17078],"properties":{"title":"Distribution and first insight into the reproductive biology of two species of the genus Rhamdia (Siluriformes, Heptapteridae) in a Biosphere Reserve","type":"article","abstract":"Distribution data and reproductive biology of freshwater catfishes of the genus Rhamdia remain insufficiently explored, limiting our knowledge of these ecologically, nutritionally, and economically important species.

Social interactions among conspecifics, along with predation risks, can also place limitations on activity patterns and spatial ecology. We studied the spatial ecology, habitat use, and habitat selection in the San Cristóbal lava lizard (Microlophus bivittatus) during a hot-wet period (March), and a cool-dry period (August). Overall, lizards used rock faces under canopy more frequently than other microhabitats. Compared to the hot-wet period, lizards increased their use of rock crevices and detritus and were sometimes inactive for several consecutive days during the cool-dry period. Lizards varied in their selection of structural features and thermal characteristics across seasons and throughout the day, relying on open areas for basking (especially during the mornings) during the hot-wet period and shifting to sheltered, cooler microhabitats during the cool-dry season. Within their larger activity areas, each lizard concentrated movements within a single area but occasionally and often repeatedly traveled to peripheral specific areas. While minimum convex polygons and AKDE-95% utility distributions (UDs) overlapped among individuals extensively, AKDE-50% UDs rarely overlapped among individuals that resided adjacent to one another. Lizards showed a reduction in space use metrics by over 50% between the hot-wet and the cool-dry period further indicating seasonal limitations on activity between seasons. Overall, San Cristóbal lava lizards are sensitive to both thermal and structural habitat characteristics and vary their habitat use and activity patterns seasonally.","publicationDate":"2026-01-01","doi":"10.3897/neotropical.21.e185618","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.21.e185618","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["EC"],"source_details":{"id":75,"name":"Neotropical Biology and Conservation","slug":"neotropical-biology-and-conservation","issn_l":"2236-3777","openalex_id":"S4210214477","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210214477","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210214477","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://neotropical.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/75/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/neotropical-biology-and-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Rowe","John"],"keywords":["Activity"],"topics":["Amphibian and Reptile Biology","Species Distribution and Climate Change","Subterranean biodiversity and taxonomy"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W7162035925","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.21.e185618","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W7162035925"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":12273,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-86.08539,20.01881]}]},"bbox":[-86.08539,20.01881,-86.08539,20.01881],"properties":{"title":"First photographic evidence of an insular dwarf fox (Urocyon sp.) on the island of Cozumel, Mexico","type":"article","abstract":"Insular isolation can drive rapid evolutionary divergence, including pronounced dwarfism, in mammals.

Rainforests were clear-cut during the last two centuries and replaced by a tessellated rural landscape of pastures, fields, oil palm plantations, gallery forests, and secondary vegetation. However, the impact of the still ongoing land-use changes on biodiversity has hardly been studied, so the purpose of this paper is to summarize bird observations from the Belém area and its rural hinterland. Audiovisual bird surveys were carried out around Belém, on ten farms in the municipality of Igarapé-Açu, and along the Atlantic coast between 1999 and 2018. Compiled species lists are compared with historical studies of the Bragantina, adjacent Maranhão, and Marajó. To evaluate regional community assembly, non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) was employed and beta diversity was partitioned into turnover and nestedness components. Results indicate that community differentiation is primarily driven by species turnover (replacement) rather than nestedness (species loss), reflecting a significant ecological shift while maintaining high regional richness. Species diversity was further analyzed using Hill numbers (q = 0, 1, 2) and integrated rarefaction/extrapolation curves to ensure robust regional comparisons independent of sampling effort. In total, 300 bird species (220 genera; 62 families) were reconfirmed. Although the mosaic-like landscape resembles savannas today, the data elucidate that bird composition is still more similar to that of the ancient rainforest biome than to that of adjacent savannas. While robust, widespread neotropical generalists, such as Crotophaga ani  and Columbina passerina, became dominant, and Guira guira and Melanerpes candidus established themselves, large understory game birds of pristine rainforests are virtually absent. However, endemic canopy species, such as Xipholena lamellipennis, might survive within the Bragantina if sufficiently large forest patches and mast trees are protected and planted at regular intervals across the whole region. Thereby, it may be more promising to protect robust, common (to rare) Amazonian bird species that can follow dynamic land-use changes than to concentrate on the last remaining pristine forest specialists.","publicationDate":"2026-01-01","doi":"10.3897/neotropical.21.e180457","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.21.e180457","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["BR"],"source_details":{"id":75,"name":"Neotropical Biology and Conservation","slug":"neotropical-biology-and-conservation","issn_l":"2236-3777","openalex_id":"S4210214477","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210214477","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210214477","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://neotropical.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/75/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/neotropical-biology-and-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Hohnwald","Stefan"],"keywords":["Amazonia"],"topics":["Ecology and Vegetation Dynamics Studies","Species Distribution and Climate Change","Avian ecology and behavior"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W7147490342","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.21.e180457","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W7147490342"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":12264,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-94.164,16.524]}]},"bbox":[-94.164,16.524,-94.164,16.524],"properties":{"title":"Two new species of Scolia (Hymenoptera, Scoliidae) from Mexico and Panama","type":"article","abstract":"Two new species of Scolia (Scoliinae, Scoliini) are described from Mexico and Panama: Scolia bartletti sp. nov. and Scolia albumtenebris sp. nov., respectively.

Although mammals play a critical role in maintaining ecosystem structure, less is known about arboreal mammal activity and habitat use across forest canopy layers. As forest fragmentation increases, understanding how these changes impact arboreal species is essential for effective conservation efforts. Here, we provide a snapshot of canopy walkway use by arboreal mammals in an Amazonian forest with unfragmented canopy cover, providing insight into their spatial and temporal movement patterns across different canopy layers. This study was conducted at the Amazon Conservatory for Tropical Studies, in the Napo-Sucusari Biological Reserve outside Iquitos, Perú. During a three-week survey, we deployed camera traps at multiple heights along a canopy walkway system to monitor arboreal mammal activity. A total of seven mammal species used this canopy walkway system during our study period. Linnaeus’s two-toed sloth (Choloepus didactylus) and the long-tailed porcupine (Coendou longicaudatus longicaudatus) were the most commonly observed species, with several observations of the more reclusive and data-deficient C. ichillus also recorded, among other species. Peak activity occurred between 1900 and 2100 h, coinciding with higher temperature and humidity than nighttime averages. Mid-canopy layers (ca. 21 to 27 m above ground) were most frequently used, with decline in use at higher and lower canopy layers. Our findings provide baseline data on arboreal mammal use of canopy walkways in a tropical forest, which may help inform the design of human-created arboreal corridors to connect forest fragments.","publicationDate":"2025-01-01","doi":"10.3897/neotropical.20.e154791","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.20.e154791","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["PE"],"source_details":{"id":75,"name":"Neotropical Biology and Conservation","slug":"neotropical-biology-and-conservation","issn_l":"2236-3777","openalex_id":"S4210214477","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210214477","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210214477","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://neotropical.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/75/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/neotropical-biology-and-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Santiago","Justin"],"keywords":["artificial bridges"],"topics":["Wildlife-Road Interactions and Conservation","Wildlife Ecology and Conservation","Ecology and Vegetation Dynamics Studies"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4414613135","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.20.e154791","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4414613135"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":12260,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-73.13682,-39.85877]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-73.83611,-41.46756]}]},"bbox":[-73.83611,-41.46756,-73.13682,-39.85877],"properties":{"title":"Records of Polycladus gayi (Tricladida, Geoplanidae) preying on the invasive slug Limax maximus (Gastropoda, Limacidae) in Chile's temperate forests","type":"article","abstract":"Terrestrial planarians are important soil predators of a variety of invertebrate groups, including exotic and invasive mollusc species.

Here, we report two cases of predation on Limax maximus, an invasive slug recorded within native forests. We suggest that P. gayi displayed two distinct types of predatory behaviour: (1) helicoidal tube formation and (2) surrounding immobilisation. As the reported distributions of the invasive slug and P. gayi are similar, we suggest this predator-prey interaction might be common. Furthermore, depending on the prey type and size, P. gayi might exhibit different types of predatory behaviour.

This study aims to understand how the higher temperatures and declining precipitation will affect the germination of Populus luziarum and P. primaveralepensis, two endangered endemic species from western Mexico. The germination of these species was evaluated through the combined effect of three temperatures (24, 28, and 32 °C) and five water potentials (0, –0.07, –0.15, –0.3, and –0.6 MPa). The evaluated response variables utilized were the minimum time that seeds need to begin germination, the mean germination rate, and the final percentage of germination. Significant differences were found in the germination of both species due to the factors and their interaction. The highest germination percentages were registered with the combination of 24 °C and 0 MPa for both species (90% and 94%, respectively). The lowest percentage for P. luziarum was recorded at –0.6 MPa for any temperature (26–32%), while the lowest germination (23%) was found for P. primaveralepensis at –0.6 MPa and 32 °C. In addition, germinability was slowest in both species because of the highest temperatures and lowest water potential and their interactions. It is concluded that higher temperatures and drought stress will negatively affect the germination and recovery of populations of these two species.","publicationDate":"2025-01-01","doi":"10.3897/neotropical.20.e155025","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.20.e155025","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["MX"],"source_details":{"id":75,"name":"Neotropical Biology and Conservation","slug":"neotropical-biology-and-conservation","issn_l":"2236-3777","openalex_id":"S4210214477","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210214477","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210214477","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://neotropical.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/75/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/neotropical-biology-and-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Jacobo-Pereira","Cesar"],"keywords":["Global warming"],"topics":["Seed Germination and Physiology","Bioenergy crop production and management","Agroforestry and silvopastoral systems"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4412634411","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.20.e155025","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4412634411"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":12255,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-73.16667,-40.58333]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-72.83333,-41.33333]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-74,-42.5]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-72.2114,-40.782]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-72.636,-41.0869]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-73.4288,-40.9644]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-72.5383,-41.2082]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-72.3081,-40.7353]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-73.3732,-40.6142]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-73.2623,-41.605]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-72.7953,-41.4891]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-73.1951,-41.7231]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-73.2445,-41.6992]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-73.5083,-41.6324]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-73.9679,-42.0439]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-73.4743,-42.1426]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-73.8893,-41.8991]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-73.7855,-42.7231]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-73.7499,-42.2332]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-73.9954,-43.1517]}]},"bbox":[-74.0,-43.1517,-72.2114,-40.58333],"properties":{"title":"Genetic structure and microsatellite-based genetic variation influenced by habitat fragmentation in pudu deer (Pudu puda) from southern Chile","type":"article","abstract":"Landscape alterations have strong impacts on the distribution of genetic variation within and between populations, and understanding these effects can provide insights for design conservation strategies. We analyzed 20 georeferenced individuals of pudu deer (Pudu puda) of three populations from southern Chile to obtain genetic diversity and distance parameters based on five polymorphic microsatellite loci. The genetic population structure was assessed by using STRUCTURE 2.3.4 and the effective population sizes (Ne) with NeEstimator 2.0 software. Habitat fragmentation metrics were also analyzed to correlate these data with the genetic variation focused to assess the effect of native forest fragmentation on the genetic structure of pudu deer. The mean number of alleles ranges from 2.8 to 4.2, while the mean number of private alleles ranged from 0.4 to 1.2. The mean observed heterozygosity ranged from 0.423 to 0.547. All populations displayed significant deficits of heterozygotes (FIS = 0.091-0.189, P < 0.0001). The FST on the whole populations and loci was low (mean FST = 0.0942) and without statistical significance (P > 0.05), indicating no genetic differentiation among populations. The STRUCTURE analysis did not reveal a population structure, and the NeEstimator found a markedly low Ne in a population compared to other analyzed populations. Multiple regression analysis indicates that two fragmentation metrics, namely, the proportion of the landscape covered by forest (PLAND) and the patch density (PD), negatively and significantly affected the number of alleles per locus as well as the observed heterozygosity (PLAND, β = -0.8740, P < 0.05; PD, β = -0.6594, P < 0.05). This result suggests that a greater degree of habitat fragmentation contributes to a decrease in genetic variation of pudu deer. Therefore, maintaining the native forest continuity across the distribution range of pudu deer could contribute to preserving the genetic diversity, enhancing the long-term survival of this mammal.","publicationDate":"2025-01-01","doi":"10.3897/neotropical.20.e151162","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.20.e151162","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["CL"],"source_details":{"id":75,"name":"Neotropical Biology and Conservation","slug":"neotropical-biology-and-conservation","issn_l":"2236-3777","openalex_id":"S4210214477","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210214477","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210214477","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://neotropical.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/75/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/neotropical-biology-and-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Colihueque","Nelson"],"keywords":["Conservation genetics"],"topics":["Genetic diversity and population structure","Genetic and phenotypic traits in livestock","Wildlife Ecology and Conservation"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4412478270","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.20.e151162","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4412478270"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":12254,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-36.98456,-5.57589]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-36.98563,-5.57197]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-37.06539,-5.64042]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-37.064,-5.63801]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-37.05637,-5.63327]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-36.98309,-5.58352]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-37.07069,-5.64195]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-37.08728,-5.55175]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-37.51353,-5.12311]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-36.09018,-5.25398]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-36.03421,-5.72411]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-36.03424,-5.67594]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-36.1663,-5.11529]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-36.21419,-5.3931]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-36.14523,-5.66923]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-36.10109,-5.66326]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-37.11108,-5.63348]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-36.21622,-5.44805]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-36.21611,-5.44796]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-37.04749,-5.12659]}]},"bbox":[-37.51353,-5.72411,-36.03421,-5.11529],"properties":{"title":"Dietary composition of Oxyrhopus trigeminus in the Brazilian semiarid: new records, a literature review, and an incidental case of plastic ingestion","type":"article","abstract":"The Caatinga, the largest seasonal dry tropical forest in South America, has been experiencing significant environmental disturbances due to deforestation, agricultural expansion, and increasing energy infrastructure installation. These changes can impact local biodiversity, particularly aspects of natural history, such as trophic ecology. This study investigates the diet of Oxyrhopus trigeminus (the Brazilian false coral snake) in the Caatinga biome of northeastern Brazil, combining a literature review and an analysis of stomach and intestinal contents of 48 specimens. Our findings confirm that the species primarily preys on lizards, particularly Tropidurus hispidus and Ameivula ocellifera, which are among the most abundant lizards in the semiarid region of the Caatinga. Additionally, we report for the first time the presence of Micrablepharus maximiliani in the diet of O. trigeminus. The study also documents the ingestion of plastic fragments, highlighting a growing concern regarding pollution in natural environments and its potential effects on trophic interactions. As part of the study, weight and morphometric data were collected from all examined specimens; although not the primary focus, these measurements are included as supplementary information, given their potential value for future comparative and ecological analyses. Given the increasing habitat alterations in the Caatinga, changes in prey availability may potentially affect the dietary patterns of Oxyrhopus trigeminus and other snake species. Despite the limited sample size, our findings highlight the importance of baseline dietary data and underscore the need for long-term monitoring to better understand how environmental changes may influence predator-prey dynamics and the ecological stability of semiarid ecosystems.","publicationDate":"2025-01-01","doi":"10.3897/neotropical.20.e151337","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.20.e151337","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["BR"],"source_details":{"id":75,"name":"Neotropical Biology and Conservation","slug":"neotropical-biology-and-conservation","issn_l":"2236-3777","openalex_id":"S4210214477","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210214477","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210214477","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://neotropical.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/75/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/neotropical-biology-and-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["de Oliveira Cabral","Sofia"],"keywords":["Brazilian false coral snake"],"topics":["Biological Control of Invasive Species","Insect and Arachnid Ecology and Behavior","Date Palm Research Studies"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4411393672","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.20.e151337","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4411393672"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":12253,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-82.41808,8.74583]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-81.62649,7.69494]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-81.49397,7.87182]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-80.99481,8.36047]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-81.70475,7.6396]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-81.55764,7.85826]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-81.49459,7.871]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-81.51004,7.87443]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-81.55724,7.8148]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-82.82948,8.64377]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-82.82204,8.64501]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-82.19047,8.79484]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-80.60007,8.6776]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-80.60006,8.67801]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-82.41808,8.74583]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-82.19391,8.79361]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-81.16398,8.54318]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-81.12181,8.51706]}]},"bbox":[-82.82948,7.6396,-80.60006,8.79484],"properties":{"title":"The Trichoptera of Panama XXVIII.

To document the case, we collected information on the interaction, the causative crocodile and the affected person. On June 8, 2024 a male person was involved in a non-fatal interaction with a 278 cm long crocodile, which caused a fracture in his left leg, requiring him to be transported to the nearest hospital. This event activated the first response team who provided pre-hospital and hospital care; search and capture of the crocodile involved, as well as the custody, handling and final disposal of the crocodile into captivity.

This research aimed to identify a haloarchaea isolate and evaluate the antioxidant, antimicrobial, and cytotoxic properties of the culture’s biomass pigments (BPs) and supernatant pigments (SPs). One extremely halophilic archaeal strain designated AS8 was isolated from brine samples of the Bahía de Lobos coastal lagoon, Sonora, and identified as Halomicrobium mukohataei based on analyses of the 16S rRNA gene. The SPs showed the best free radical scavenging activity on DPPH and ABTS assays, with 74 and 67% inhibition values, respectively. The extracts also showed significant antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria with inhibition halos between 7 to 17 mm.

For ten years, in the Calakmul Biosphere Reserve of Southern Mexico, we have monitored a tapir population in ponds locally named aguadas that serve as social arenas for the species. Recently, we obtained 97 video records in which some tapirs get involved in serious fights and perform other types of behaviour related probably to courtship, including several types of whistles. We describe what we recorded and interpret these types of behaviour whenever possible. These rare types of tapir behaviour can explain several of the wounds and scars on many adults of the population and help us better understand the social dynamics of this shy and endangered species of Neotropical ungulate.

In the first event, T. scaliger was observed to capture and consume A. altamirani by removing the salamander from its aquatic habitat and consuming it on land – a behavior that underscores the adaptability of the snake to handling aquatic prey. In the second instance, C. triseriatus exhibited attempted predation in a montane stream, swimming in pursuit of the salamander but ultimately failing to capture it. These observations provide critical insights into predator–prey dynamics in montane ecosystems, highlighting the ecological pressures faced by A. altamirani. Furthermore, the documentation of these events expands our understanding of the feeding behaviors of T. scaliger and C. triseriatus, emphasizing their potential impact on vulnerable amphibian populations.

The jaguar was observed moving through an area of approximately 25 km, traversing forested and human-altered zones. Furthermore, additional evidence from the Ecominga Foundation and the Cielo Verde community indicated the occurrence of livestock attacks, which aligns with the typical predatory patterns observed in jaguar behavior. The attack site was located approximately 8 km from where the jaguar was initially recorded, suggesting that both events refer to the same individual. In response, local authorities inspected the area and organized community workshops. Furthermore, an Andean bear was recorded in Manduriacu during the same sampling period, confirming the co-occurrence of both species in the area. The documented movement of this jaguar, along with the presence of other species, underscores the imperative need to continue research and conservation initiatives in the region. These initiatives will ensure the protection and coexistence of wildlife and human populations in this highly biodiverse region.","publicationDate":"2024-01-01","doi":"10.3897/neotropical.19.e129163","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.19.e129163","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["EC"],"source_details":{"id":75,"name":"Neotropical Biology and Conservation","slug":"neotropical-biology-and-conservation","issn_l":"2236-3777","openalex_id":"S4210214477","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210214477","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210214477","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://neotropical.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/75/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/neotropical-biology-and-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Torres","Javier"],"keywords":["Endangered"],"topics":["Wildlife Ecology and Conservation","Human-Animal Interaction Studies","Primate Behavior and Ecology"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4404343375","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.19.e129163","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4404343375"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":12237,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-70.5,-33.72]}]},"bbox":[-70.5,-33.72,-70.5,-33.72],"properties":{"title":"Seasonal variation of bat activity in an endangered temperate forest in the Chilean biodiversity hotspot","type":"article","abstract":"Bats play an integral key ecological role in forests, but there is limited understanding of how their richness and activity vary over time in temperate forests and the effect of habitat variables on these species. Herein we describe the seasonal variation of bat species richness, activity and assemblage structure during the reproductive season in a sclerophyllous forest, an endangered temperate Mediterranean forest located in Chile’s biodiversity hotspot. Additionally, we explored the relationship between bat activity and environmental variables (air temperature, vegetation cover, and proximity to water bodies). Species richness and bat activity varied during the breeding season and exhibited two peaks: spring and summer end, markedly decreasing in mid-summer. During spring, the bat assemblage exhibited greater species richness, diversity and evenness, whereas from the end of summer until autumn, both diversity and evenness decreased. Monthly average air temperatures had a positive association with total bat activity, although there was evidence of a threshold temperature over which bat activity significantly decreased. Canopy cover had a negative influence on the activity of Tadarida brasiliensis and Lasiurus varius, whereas increasing distance to water bodies was associated with a lower activity of T. brasiliensis and L. villosissimus. Our study demonstrates that bat diversity and bat activity vary greatly during the reproductive season in an endangered temperate forest, highlighting the importance of knowing seasonal patterns and evidencing that multiple surveys will improve our understanding of bat communities.

We also analyze the influence of environmental variables on the abundance and richness of butterfly species. Seven sampling sites were established based on criteria of vegetation distribution per altitudinal gradient. Sampling was on a monthly basis and carried out in six permanent plots at each site, using an aerial entomological net during November 2015 to October 2016. A total of 38,011 specimens, representing six families and 195 species, were collected. All parameter values showed significant differences across sites, except between thorn forest and gallery forest. Seasonality effect was absent on richness and diversity species; however, for species abundance, the differences between dry season and rainy season were significantly different in each site except for the comparison of thorn forest and gallery forest. The association between the environmental variables and butterfly communities in the elevational gradient was significant, being the dew point, the solar radiation, the canopy leaf area, and the number of flowering plants the most important variables.

These results highlight the importance of the conservation of this heterogeneous habitat and establish reference data for the diurnal Lepidoptera fauna of the region.","publicationDate":"2024-01-01","doi":"10.3897/neotropical.19.e136190","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.19.e136190","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["MX"],"source_details":{"id":75,"name":"Neotropical Biology and Conservation","slug":"neotropical-biology-and-conservation","issn_l":"2236-3777","openalex_id":"S4210214477","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210214477","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210214477","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://neotropical.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/75/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/neotropical-biology-and-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Melendez","Edmar"],"keywords":["Community patterns"],"topics":["Ecology and Vegetation Dynamics Studies","Plant and animal studies","Lepidoptera: Biology and Taxonomy"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4404140359","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.19.e136190","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4404140359"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":12234,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-37.53375,-5.0708]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-37.56865,5.97078]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-37.25188,6.57906]}]},"bbox":[-37.56865,-5.0708,-37.25188,6.57906],"properties":{"title":"Characterization of bone lesions and bone mineral density of roadkilled wild animals in the Brazilian semi-arid","type":"article","abstract":"Highways are one of the anthropogenic factors that have the greatest impact on terrestrial biodiversity. Barriers, depletion effects, and roads are the most common locations of wild animal roadkill, leading to biodiversity loss in wild vertebrates. However, the corpses of these animals can be used as opportunistic samples, an excellent source of information on topics such as population dynamics, which is one of the aims of road ecology. Nonetheless, there are only a few studies on injuries in roadkilled wild animals. Between 2018 and 2021, road monitoring was performed around three Federal Conservation Units in Brazil. Twenty-four animals, including birds, reptiles, and mammals, were collected. This study aims to characterize the lesions in wild animals that were roadkilled on roads in the Brazilian semi-arid region using necropsy and quantitative computed tomography (QCT). Also, the bone mineral density was measured using QCT and compared with the number of lesions and body condition score. Four types of bone lesions were found in 13 different bones, with an average of 3.25 lesions per bird and 3.75 lesions per reptile and mammal, with no statistical difference between the means (p > 0.05). Providing a database on the main injuries found in wild animals that are frequently roadkilled serves as an aid to wildlife rescue and rehabilitation professionals who contribute to the conservation of species. In addition, the data on road ecology serves as a basis for the implementation of mitigation measures against wildlife roadkills, also contributing to the conservation of species.","publicationDate":"2024-01-01","doi":"10.3897/neotropical.19.e132703","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.19.e132703","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["BR"],"source_details":{"id":75,"name":"Neotropical Biology and Conservation","slug":"neotropical-biology-and-conservation","issn_l":"2236-3777","openalex_id":"S4210214477","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210214477","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210214477","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://neotropical.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/75/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/neotropical-biology-and-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["da Silva Freitas","Itainara Taili"],"keywords":["Conservation"],"topics":["Wildlife Ecology and Conservation","Wildlife-Road Interactions and Conservation","Genetic and phenotypic traits in livestock"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4403607152","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.19.e132703","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4403607152"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":12233,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-97.07478,15.91158]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-97.08136,15.91694]}]},"bbox":[-97.08136,15.91158,-97.07478,15.91694],"properties":{"title":"Abundance, diet and food availability of Citreoline Trogon (Trogon citreolus) in a regenerating tropical dry forest in the Central Pacific, Mexico","type":"article","abstract":"Trogonidae make up a family of birds with a mixed diet composed of fruit and animal matter.

Also, we investigate the relationship between food availability and trogon abundance. The relative trogon abundance was 2.6 ± 2.3 individuals per point count, which varied temporally. The species consumed the fruits of 14 plant species from 10 families. The three most consumed species were Ficus cotinifolia, Comocladia engleriana, and Randia gentlei. Trogon citreolus displayed a moderate niche breadth (Best = 0. 420) whit low food diet diversity (H’ = 0.94), and the dominance of a particular type of food (λ = 0.85). Our results demonstrated a positive correlation between trogon abundance and food resource availability. The dietary breadth of T. citreolus enable the species to adapt to fluctuations in fruit availability in regenerating forests. These findings highlight the ecological importance of forest regeneration in providing food resources for T. citreolus and other frugivorous birds.","publicationDate":"2024-01-01","doi":"10.3897/neotropical.19.e128529","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.19.e128529","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["MX"],"source_details":{"id":75,"name":"Neotropical Biology and Conservation","slug":"neotropical-biology-and-conservation","issn_l":"2236-3777","openalex_id":"S4210214477","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210214477","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210214477","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://neotropical.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/75/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/neotropical-biology-and-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Floreán-Díaz","Esmeralda"],"keywords":["Frugivorous birds"],"topics":["Isotope Analysis in Ecology","Avian ecology and behavior","Marine and coastal plant biology"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4403066744","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.19.e128529","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4403066744"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":12232,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-79.67972,8.94194]}]},"bbox":[-79.67972,8.94194,-79.67972,8.94194],"properties":{"title":"Mating of the Amazon racerunner (Ameiva praesignis) (Squamata, Teiidae) in Panama","type":"article","abstract":"Polygyny is common among lizards, and sexual dimorphism in coloration and size influences sexual selection by females. Courtship and copulation include ritualized behaviors such as chasing, cloacal rubbing, and head bobbing, observed especially in the family Teiidae.

During a mating event, the male and female were observed to remain motionless during copulation, followed by a dominant posture by the male, while another smaller male watched them without intervening. This behavior suggests that males guard females to reduce competition and increase reproductive success. Marked sexual dimorphism was noted, with larger, more corpulent males and intense coloration. The courtship and mating behaviors of A. praesignis are like those of A. ameiva, perhaps suggesting that they are characters that are fixed at the genus level.

Twenty-seven independent records of S. gouazoubira were obtained, totaling 29 specimens recorded, comprising 59% males, 28% females, and 14% deer with undetermined sex. Twenty-five interactions with latrines and five types of behavior were recorded: defecation, urination, front paw scratching against the ground, tail shaking, and sniffing the area near the latrine. Among the recorded behaviors, 56% were performed by females, 40% by males, and 4% by specimens with undetermined sex. There was variation in the types and frequency of behaviors recorded, indicating that territorial marking behavior might be variable between latrines. Latrine use also varied temporally concerning the time of day when behaviors were recorded and the interval between records of odoriferous marking at the same latrine. Differences in latrine use between males and females were also observed, suggesting intersexual variations in territorial marking strategy. The obtained results, although limited to a few sampling points, suggest complexity in territorial marking behavior and interaction with latrines in S. gouazoubira, highlighting spatial differences, distinct temporal dynamics, and variations between sexes.","publicationDate":"2024-01-01","doi":"10.3897/neotropical.19.e121917","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.19.e121917","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["BR"],"source_details":{"id":75,"name":"Neotropical Biology and Conservation","slug":"neotropical-biology-and-conservation","issn_l":"2236-3777","openalex_id":"S4210214477","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210214477","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210214477","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://neotropical.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/75/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/neotropical-biology-and-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Srbek-Araujo","Ana Carolina"],"keywords":["Chemical communication"],"topics":["Amphibian and Reptile Biology","Wildlife Ecology and Conservation","Primate Behavior and Ecology"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4401815859","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.19.e121917","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4401815859"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":12225,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-98.17569,19.5495]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-98.44617,19.61619]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-97.98072,19.501]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-97.98094,19.50153]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-98.21578,19.53156]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-98.20247,19.55683]}]},"bbox":[-98.44617,19.501,-97.98072,19.61619],"properties":{"title":"New records on the distribution of the Mexclapique, Girardinichthys viviparus (Bustamante, 1837) (Cyprinodontiformes, Goodeidae), an endangered species in Mexico","type":"article","abstract":"The “Mexclapique” Girardinichthys viviparus, is a goodeid endemic to the Valley of Mexico basin.

Its presence in these sites may be the result of the processes of expansion, adaptation and establishment that the species has had in central Mexico, as well as the intercommunication through artificial channels in some of these lakes.

Besides, the lack of aquatic biodiversity preservation projects in Tlaxcala does not guarantee its long-term conservation.","publicationDate":"2024-01-01","doi":"10.3897/neotropical.19.e126767","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.19.e126767","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["MX"],"source_details":{"id":75,"name":"Neotropical Biology and Conservation","slug":"neotropical-biology-and-conservation","issn_l":"2236-3777","openalex_id":"S4210214477","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210214477","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210214477","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://neotropical.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/75/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/neotropical-biology-and-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["López-Segovia","Eduardo"],"keywords":["Endemic species"],"topics":["Fish biology, ecology, and behavior","Fish Ecology and Management Studies","Fish Biology and Ecology Studies"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4401177677","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.19.e126767","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4401177677"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":12224,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-79.64444,8.91806]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-81.21594,7.50397]}]},"bbox":[-81.21594,7.50397,-79.64444,8.91806],"properties":{"title":"Report of coloration anomalies in mammals from Panama","type":"article","abstract":"Coloration anomalies are widespread across the animal kingdom; however, they pass underreported for some taxa or are extremely rare, like in the case of mammals.

Here we present a review of the existing scientific literature and data in international databases on marine nematodes of Costa Rica. Most of the papers currently available mentioned Nematoda as the most abundant phylum in terms of the number of individuals within sand samples, nonetheless, only three publications included taxonomic data such as the description of new species or new records. Most publications are for the Pacific coast and we found only one paper for the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica. Large sections of the coasts and almost all the Exclusive Economic Zone remain unexplored in terms of nematode diversity, abundance and ecological role. Ten species, five free-living and five parasitic species, have been reported from the coasts of Costa Rica. Several reports indicate the presence of nematodes without further identification. More effort should be dedicated to the taxonomic identification of nematodes since, in addition to being the most abundant group, they can also be used as biological indicators.","publicationDate":"2024-01-01","doi":"10.3897/neotropical.19.e115345","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.19.e115345","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["CR","NI"],"source_details":{"id":75,"name":"Neotropical

Trichoptera of Panama XXVII. The third benchmark—a waypoint to the future","type":"article","abstract":"The flora and fauna of Panama is species-rich due to its location and topography, and the resulting diversity of microclimates and habitats. The last two summaries (benchmarks) of information about the caddisfly fauna (Insecta, Trichoptera) Panama were published in1992 and 2015. From 1861 to 2015, researchers from outside of Panama recorded 13 families, 45 genera, and 257 species of caddisflies. From 2015 through 2023, a series of publications by the Aquatic Invertebrate Research Group at the Universidad Autónoma de Chiriquí in David, Panamá have recorded an additional 2 families,11 genera, and 278 species. Thus, a total of 535 species of caddisflies, now recorded from the Republic of Panama, are distributed among 15 families and 56 genera. Panama’s Trichoptera fauna shows greatest affinity to other Central American countries, and to Costa Rica in particular. Indeed, 289 Costa Rican species are shared with Panama, including 91 former Costa Rican endemics now known from both countries. The Hydroptilidae is the most species rich family in Panama. Although the number of new species and new country records of macro-Trichoptera has diminished somewhat over this third benchmark period, no similar fall-off has yet been detected in the micro-Trichoptera. The caddisfly fauna of Panama is now better known, but much more work remains to define the fauna and, just as importantly, to map the surficial and altitudinal distribution of each genus and species.","publicationDate":"2024-01-01","doi":"10.3897/neotropical.19.e113487","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.19.e113487","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["PA"],"source_details":{"id":75,"name":"Neotropical Biology and Conservation","slug":"neotropical-biology-and-conservation","issn_l":"2236-3777","openalex_id":"S4210214477","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210214477","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210214477","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://neotropical.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/75/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/neotropical-biology-and-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Armitage","Brian"],"keywords":["Biodiversity"],"topics":["Fish biology, ecology, and behavior","Scarabaeidae Beetle Taxonomy and Biogeography","Freshwater macroinvertebrate diversity and ecology"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4400116717","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.19.e113487","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4400116717"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":12219,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-90.63034,15.86787]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-90.67544,15.94848]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-90.67623,15.94035]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-90.48849,15.55314]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-90.48902,15.55561]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-90.75925,15.45171]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-90.75895,15.45154]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-90.35033,15.36805]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-91.3998,15.21812]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-91.4024,15.24502]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-91.39857,15.2187]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-90.22646,15.21574]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-90.22074,15.20866]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-90.21607,15.21065]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-90.21608,15.20865]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-91.32787,14.9334]}]},"bbox":[-91.4024,14.9334,-90.21607,15.94848],"properties":{"title":"Dispersal capacity as assessed by distance-decay relationships is lower for aquatic shredder insects than aquatic non-shredder insects in a Neotropical river network","type":"article","abstract":"Aquatic shredder insect diversity declines latitudinally toward the equator, contrary to the general latitudinal biodiversity gradient. Shredder diversity along tropical elevational gradients mimics this shredder latitudinal pattern. One of the hypotheses proposed to explain this pattern of diversity is that dispersal capacity drives variation in shredder assemblages given their low dispersal capacity in tropical streams. Additionally, tropical shredders probably have lower dispersal capacity than the rest of tropical aquatic insects, which have lower dispersal capacities than their counterparts in temperate areas. We tested this hypothesis in an elevational gradient of more than 2000 m in 16 reaches of streams distributed in the Usumacinta, Cahabon, and Polochic river watersheds. We quantitatively sampled aquatic insects and measured 12 environmental variables. We found a regional pool of 118 taxa, with 13 taxa classified as shredders, and 2 taxa of predator-shredders. Contrary to expectations, shredder rarefied richness decreased with increasing elevation, which suggests that dispersal capacity did not change with elevation. Assemblage similarity decreased with increasing distance between reaches due to low capacity to fly long distances. This relationship had a smaller slope when using the shortest spatial distances between pairs of reaches due to potential lateral scatter by flying adults. In sum, the results support the hypothesis that dispersal capacity drove aquatic shredder assemblage structure in these 16 tropical streams.","publicationDate":"2024-01-01","doi":"10.3897/neotropical.19.e113285","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.19.e113285","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["GT"],"source_details":{"id":75,"name":"Neotropical Biology and Conservation","slug":"neotropical-biology-and-conservation","issn_l":"2236-3777","openalex_id":"S4210214477","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210214477","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210214477","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://neotropical.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/75/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/neotropical-biology-and-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["García","Pavel"],"keywords":["Bayesian linear models"],"topics":["Freshwater macroinvertebrate diversity and ecology","Fish Ecology and Management Studies","Aquatic Invertebrate Ecology and Behavior"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4400117063","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.19.e113285","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4400117063"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":12214,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-88.26361,15.54194]}]},"bbox":[-88.26361,15.54194,-88.26361,15.54194],"properties":{"title":"Ants in the clouds: A preliminary checklist of the ant (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) fauna of a Honduran cloud forest ecosystem, featuring a key to country genera","type":"article","abstract":"Ant diversity in tropical montane rainforests is globally understudied. This is true for Cusuco National Park (CNP), a cloud forest ecosystem in northwestern Honduras that supports geographically isolated and threatened habitats. The current study presents the first comprehensive ant species checklist for CNP, which is also the first ant checklist for Honduras in over a century. Species records from several projects are also combined and presented. Sampling occurred along an elevational range (mainly between 1170 and 2030 m a.s.l.), with methodologies and intensities varying among projects and dates. Overall, 162 ant species belonging to nine subfamilies and 60 genera are reported from the CNP. Five species are recorded for the first time in Honduras (Pheidole natalie Longino, 2019; Strumigenys cf. calamita; Solenopsis invicta Buren, 1972; Solenopsis texana/carolinensis; Pseudomyrmex pallens Mayr, 1870). For the first time, male individuals are reported in Pheidole balatro Longino, 2019. For each species, we provide information on observed habitat preference, elevational range, and sampling technique. Species accumulation curves are provided for each sample technique, representing sampling intensity and community sample coverage. We also provide a key to the ant genera of Honduras to aid future taxonomic efforts in the country. Our research demonstrates that CNP harbours a surprisingly rich diversity of ant species, despite its small area, similar to many other taxa in the park. The information provided here represents baseline information for future work on ants in CNP and other Honduran cloud forests and will help guide research in these otherwise poorly explored yet highly threatened ecosystems.","publicationDate":"2024-01-01","doi":"10.3897/neotropical.19.e119775","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.19.e119775","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["HN"],"source_details":{"id":75,"name":"Neotropical Biology and Conservation","slug":"neotropical-biology-and-conservation","issn_l":"2236-3777","openalex_id":"S4210214477","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210214477","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210214477","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://neotropical.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/75/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/neotropical-biology-and-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["De Wint","Frederik Christiaan"],"keywords":["Biodiversity hotspot"],"topics":["Insect and Arachnid Ecology and Behavior","Plant and animal studies","Animal and Plant Science Education"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4400117255","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.19.e119775","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4400117255"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":12210,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-85.207,14.3873]}]},"bbox":[-85.207,14.3873,-85.207,14.3873],"properties":{"title":"A record of a non-fatal attack of an American crocodile (Crocodylus acutus) in the “Rio Segovia” on the Honduras-Nicaragua border","type":"article","abstract":"A case of a non-fatal crocodile attack on a human was reported on the banks of the Segovia River on the Honduras and Nicaragua border.

It was created in 1940 with the aim of conserving the nesting and breeding habitats of an important diversity of birds. Until now, there have been no exclusive works that address the herpetofauna present. The aim of this article is to provide an updated inventory of reptile and amphibian species in LBNP. We used four sources of information to create the species list: 1) data coming from field observations; 2) specimens deposited in herpetological collections; 3) scientific literature review; 4) online biodiversity databases. We confirm the occurrence of 18 species of herpetofauna in LBNP, including 13 reptiles and 5 amphibians. We also included six species with probable presence according to the range of distribution and habitat similarity. We added the conservation status of the national and international lists for each species. Five species are in some threat category at the national (Vulnerable, Endangered) or international level (Endangered, Critically Endangered). Seven taxa are listed as “Species of Vertebrates of Special Value” by the Administración de Parques Nacionales. Despite being protected within a national park, the herpetofauna present face threats such as prolonged drought events, habitat modification due to the presence of livestock, introduced exotic species, and emerging diseases. Conservation efforts are imperative to protect these species and mitigate their threats.","publicationDate":"2024-01-01","doi":"10.3897/neotropical.19.e115561","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.19.e115561","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["AR"],"source_details":{"id":75,"name":"Neotropical Biology and Conservation","slug":"neotropical-biology-and-conservation","issn_l":"2236-3777","openalex_id":"S4210214477","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210214477","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210214477","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://neotropical.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/75/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/neotropical-biology-and-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Rolon","Melisa"],"keywords":["amphibians"],"topics":["Amphibian and Reptile Biology","Wildlife Ecology and Conservation","Species Distribution and Climate Change"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4399739719","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.19.e115561","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4399739719"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":12203,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-82.53276,8.68093]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-80.99481,8.36047]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-82.54788,8.48139]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-82.6428,8.51845]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-82.5203,8.46416]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-82.46955,8.46311]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-81.55674,7.8158]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-82.20897,8.7765]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-82.84113,8.82356]}]},"bbox":[-82.84113,7.8158,-80.99481,8.82356],"properties":{"title":"The Trichoptera of Panama.

In the Northern Andes, there is growing evidence of dogs inducing activity shifts or alterations in the habitat use of native mammalian species. However, little information exists on direct attacks of dogs on wildlife, even in the case of species of conservation concern such as the mountain tapir (Tapirus pinchaque). Here, we used camera traps to report two cases of dogs chasing and attacking mountain tapirs in a protected area of the Central Andes of Colombia. The first event showed a direct physical contact between a living adult mountain tapir and two dogs, but the picture’s angle did not lead to observable signs of wounds or other injuries. The second event showed an adult mountain tapir running while being chased by the same two dogs of the first event, denoting a stressful moment for the tapir. This may have negative consequences on the populations of mountain tapirs through decreased reproductive performance and foraging efficiency, increased potential for disease outbreaks and more. Population management and control of domestic dogs inside and around protected areas must be considered a priority in future conservation actions to support a healthy population of mountain tapirs and other imperilled species in the region.","publicationDate":"2024-01-01","doi":"10.3897/neotropical.19.e117437","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.19.e117437","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["CO"],"source_details":{"id":75,"name":"Neotropical Biology and Conservation","slug":"neotropical-biology-and-conservation","issn_l":"2236-3777","openalex_id":"S4210214477","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210214477","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210214477","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://neotropical.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/75/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/neotropical-biology-and-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Cepeda Duque","Juan Camilo"],"keywords":["anthropogenic edge effect"],"topics":["Human-Animal Interaction Studies","Rabies epidemiology and control","Wildlife Ecology and Conservation"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4394579085","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.19.e117437","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4394579085"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":12199,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-79.9645,-2.14867]}]},"bbox":[-79.9645,-2.14867,-79.9645,-2.14867],"properties":{"title":"Sensitisation, research and management for conservation within ESPOL University forests after the COVID-19 pandemic, Ecuador","type":"article","abstract":"Non sustainable land uses are disturbing natural habitats and wild animals’ ecology worldwide. Nevertheless, the sensitisation of key actors combined with research and a consequent management can influence decision-making and improve animals’ well-being. COVID-19 has influenced the number of interactions with wildlife in urban environments and the ESPOL Polytechnic University is a university campus that holds forested areas in Guayaquil, Ecuador. We implemented an environmental education course with an empathetic approach for the security guards of the university. We used questionnaires to evaluate their attitudes and knowledge on wildlife before and after the sensitisation course. In addition, we registered the incidences of native fauna resulting from the guards’ collaborations and we designed management strategies according to the data gathered. The guards showed an improvement in their knowledge of the issues covered (n = 81–87; X̄ = 163.4%) and an increased preference for wild and native fauna after the sensitisation course (n = 67; 151.6%). Furthermore, the collaborations of guards with the Biodiversity Unit of the university concerning animal-human interactions increased, as did the supporting actions towards the well-being of native animals. Moreover, the information about direct and indirect interactions with wildlife included reports on traces of large to medium animal activity and a record of illegal hunting of Choloepus hoffmanni for bushmeat consumption. Obtained data sustained adaptive management actions such as signalling and restrictions in use. We recommend educating key actors with an empathetic approach, developing critical skills and promoting collaborations to reduce human impacts in wild areas.","publicationDate":"2023-01-01","doi":"10.3897/neotropical.18.e110615","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.18.e110615","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["EC"],"source_details":{"id":75,"name":"Neotropical Biology and Conservation","slug":"neotropical-biology-and-conservation","issn_l":"2236-3777","openalex_id":"S4210214477","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210214477","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210214477","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://neotropical.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/75/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/neotropical-biology-and-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Villalba","Ricardo"],"keywords":["Awareness"],"topics":["Animal and Plant Science Education","Species Distribution and Climate Change","Wildlife Ecology and Conservation"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4388941344","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.18.e110615","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4388941344"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":12198,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-73.51556,-40.88667]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-73.55806,-40.79139]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-73.47611,-40.79694]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-72.96667,-43.8]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-72.4,-42.36667]}]},"bbox":[-73.55806,-43.8,-72.4,-40.79139],"properties":{"title":"Comparing diversity of the terrestrial mammal communities inhabiting native forests and exotic plantations in southern Chile","type":"article","abstract":"The mammal community of the Coastal Range of southern Chile has been little studied even though they inhabit an environment under severe threats due to anthropic disturbance. During the spring-summer seasons of 2020–2021 and 2021–2022, we characterized the communities of wild terrestrial mammals in a native forest (NF) and an exotic plantation of Eucalyptus (PL) of the Coastal Range of Osorno province by phototrapping. We used 1,060 camera-trap days in the NF and 960 camera-trap days in the PL to explore the effect of habitat type on wild mammal diversity in two localities (L-1 and L-2). We quantified the species richness, abundance, community similarity and daily distribution of mammal communities. Species richness was higher in the NF (7–8 spp) than in the PL (3–4 spp). Two community similarity index (CSI) was significantly higher between native forests (CSI = 0.728 ± 0.088) than between Eucalyptus plantations (CSI = 0.211 ± 0.097) (95% CI). Mean abundance was also higher in the NF than in the PL (L-1: 0.011 vs. 0.004 occurrence/camera-trap day (OCT); L-2: 0.008 vs. 0.004 OCT). In L-1, the most abundant mammals in the NF were Leopardus guigna (45.3% of relative occurrence (RO)) and Pudu puda (18.9% RO), and in the PL, they were Lycalopex culpaeus (50% RO) and L. guigna (37.5% RO). In L-2, the highest abundances in the NF were for P. puda (34.5% RO) and Puma concolor (27.6% RO), while in the PL, P. puda was predominant (66.7% RO). In NF of both localities, 22.2% of melanic L. guigna individuals were observed. The highest frequency of occurrences in both locations was between 12:00 and 23:59 hours, with 60% and 76.9% of detections, respectively. The species richness found in native forest is in accordance with studies carried out in other temperate rainforests of southern Chile. In addition, native forests support a richer and more similar community of terrestrial mammals than exotic forest plantations, which indicates that native forests are the main habitat for most mammals detected and that exotic plantations function as a complementary habitat for some species.","publicationDate":"2023-01-01","doi":"10.3897/neotropical.18.e110272","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.18.e110272","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["CL"],"source_details":{"id":75,"name":"Neotropical Biology and Conservation","slug":"neotropical-biology-and-conservation","issn_l":"2236-3777","openalex_id":"S4210214477","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210214477","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210214477","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://neotropical.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/75/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/neotropical-biology-and-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Colihueque Vargas","Nelsón Roberto"],"keywords":["abundance"],"topics":["Wildlife Ecology and Conservation","Species Distribution and Climate Change","Animal Ecology and Behavior Studies"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4388716856","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.18.e110272","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4388716856"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":12195,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-82.1932,8.79199]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-82.19047,8.79484]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-82.81066,8.69663]}]},"bbox":[-82.81066,8.69663,-82.19047,8.79484],"properties":{"title":"The Trichoptera of Panama.

In the tropics, there is a gap of understanding related to plant phenology since the theoretical framework on the topic has been built from perspectives of the temperate region. Furthermore, there are few studies in tropical regions influenced by anthropic conditions, which may be important for understanding these issues in the face of future climate scenarios. This study aimed to describe the vegetative and reproductive phenology of trees in an urban subtropical forest community and to test the influence of climatic variables on the tree community. In an urban forest fragment in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, eight individuals of locally dominant species were monitored: Allophylus edulis, Casearia sylvestris, Guarea macrophylla, Mimosa bimucronata, Myrsine coriacea, Myrsine umbellata, Schinus glandulosum, and Schinus terebinthifolia. The monitoring occurred every two weeks, for two years, with the recording of the presence of leaf flushing, leaf shedding, flowering, and fruiting phenophases for each tree. The seasonality of the species was tested using the Rayleigh test. We described the common pattern of community phenological activity by a Principal Component Analysis. Finally, we correlated the common patterns of each phenophase in the community with climatic variables of total precipitation, average temperature, and day length. All species showed a non-uniform phenological pattern for the evaluated phenophases despite the variable intensity. We evidenced common patterns for the community only for the vegetative phenophases. The reproductive phenophases of flowering and fruiting present themselves independently among species in the community. Finally, we identified influences only of temperature and day length on the vegetative phenophases.","publicationDate":"2023-01-01","doi":"10.3897/neotropical.18.e103506","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.18.e103506","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["BR"],"source_details":{"id":75,"name":"Neotropical Biology and Conservation","slug":"neotropical-biology-and-conservation","issn_l":"2236-3777","openalex_id":"S4210214477","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210214477","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210214477","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://neotropical.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/75/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/neotropical-biology-and-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Olmedo","Gabriela"],"keywords":["Atlantic Forest"],"topics":["Animal and Plant Science Education","Plant and animal studies","Species Distribution and Climate Change"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4387106809","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.18.e103506","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4387106809"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":12190,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-49.99444,-29.13389]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-50.0975,-29.19167]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-49.93892,-29.12967]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-52.94297,-31.77992]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-52.70603,-31.82733]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-50.88922,-29.81317]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-51.43411,-29.86825]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-50.97797,-29.49912]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-49.99375,-29.17156]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-49.97144,-29.16911]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-49.90586,-29.13656]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-49.96277,-29.05758]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-49.96506,-29.19519]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-49.92628,-29.15331]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-49.97136,-29.16931]}]},"bbox":[-52.94297,-31.82733,-49.90586,-29.05758],"properties":{"title":"A case of leucosis in Heptapterus mustelinus (Siluriformes, Heptapteridae) among populations of streams in southern Brazil.

The prey was constricted and covered with sticky mucus while remaining on its web trying to protect its egg sac. The event was observed in the middle-end afternoon at ca. 1.80 m height. Our observation broadens the scope of possible natural enemies of web-building spiders and the prey items of land planarians. It also indicates that these organisms can capture and overpower dangerous predatory arthropods, suggesting that even complex three-dimensional sticky webs can be ineffective against the attack of land planarians. Finally, we also show that land planarians can exhibit a flexible foraging strategy, exploiting the environment during the day and at higher heights from the ground.

In this study, I monitored two dry circular culverts and two unfenced tunnels with barbed wire partially blocking their entrances on Route 606 in Guacimal, Costa Rica, from 14 November to 6 December 2021 using 15 camera traps to assess which species used them to cross. Twelve species used the culverts and tunnels for a total of 108 individual crossings. The tunnels were used, in descending order, by agouti (Dasyprocta punctata), common opossum (Didelphis marsupialis), dog (Canis familiaris), nine-banded armadillo (Dasyous novemcinctus), cat (Felis catus), Norway rat (Rattus norvegicus), ocelot (Leopardus pardalis), squirrel (Sciurus variegatoides), northern tamandua (Tamandua mexicana), and coati (Nasua narica).

Directional seed dispersal into tree-fall gaps may enhance seedling survival of light-demanding species and thus influence forest regeneration. To examine this proposition, we tracked seeds of a light-demanding palm (Attalea butyracea), with a focus on spiny rats (Proechimys semispinosus), the most-likely seed-removal agents. We established seed-removal stations at three distances relative to 28 gaps (gap center, gap edge, and intact forest 10 m from a gap edge) in a lowland forest in Central Panama. We placed five fresh fruits (with their seed) in semi-permeable exclosures to exclude larger mammals at each station and tracked the directions in which seeds were moved and deposited intact. More seeds were moved toward or into gaps when removed from gap center or edge stations; however, seeds dispersed from intact forest stations showed no such directionality. Small mammals may have dispersed seeds into and within tree-fall gaps because they favored caching seeds in areas that offered increased cover, which is typical of gaps, and consequently protection from predation. The lack of directional dispersal from intact forest stations may have been because spiny rats were able to find sufficient cover in the young intact forest that was closer than the gaps. In older forest, the contrast between intact forest and gaps may be greater, resulting in directed dispersal into gaps.","publicationDate":"2023-01-01","doi":"10.3897/neotropical.18.e97653","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.18.e97653","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["PA"],"source_details":{"id":75,"name":"Neotropical Biology and Conservation","slug":"neotropical-biology-and-conservation","issn_l":"2236-3777","openalex_id":"S4210214477","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210214477","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210214477","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://neotropical.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/75/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/neotropical-biology-and-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Phillips-Lewis","Autumn"],"keywords":["Attalea butyracea"],"topics":["Animal Ecology and Behavior Studies","Ecology and Vegetation Dynamics Studies","Wildlife Ecology and Conservation"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4319076037","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.18.e97653","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4319076037"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":12172,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-79.968,-2.15036]}]},"bbox":[-79.968,-2.15036,-79.968,-2.15036],"properties":{"title":"Release and follow-up of a rehabilitated two-toed sloth (Choloepus hoffmanni) in a tropical dry forest in Ecuador","type":"article","abstract":"We present the first records of the post-release follow-up and monitoring of a rehabilitated two-toed sloth (Choloepus hoffmanni) as well as freezing behavior and an inferred antagonistic interaction for this species.

Nevertheless, in the Guayas province of Ecuador, they are among the most common mammal species in rehabilitation centers. The liberation of animals back to the forest is the main goal of rehabilitation, while the follow-up of post-release human support of animals facilitates their re-establishment in their natural habitat. Follow-up, direct observation, and Bluetooth-based monitoring of the two-toed sloths secured the survival of this species in this part of Ecuador. The range of detectability of the device used indicates its suitability for tracking low-mobility animals. After the first five days, the number of trees used per day increased, and 19 trees within 1152 m2 were visited. Daylight and movement time range showed a correlation towards detectability. The follow-up effort allowed for keeping the two-toed sloth safe for 10 days after release.

Here we estimated the ocelot home range in a remnant of Lowland Atlantic Forest in Southeastern Brazil. The data were collected by camera traps installed at eight known ocelot latrines. We estimated the home range both based on the Minimum Convex Polygon (MCP) and the 95% adaptive Kernel density estimator (95%K) to compare with other published studies. We identified 22 ocelots (adult males = 8; adult females = 12; cubs = 2). Six males were recorded at more than one latrine, while all females were recorded at only one sampling point. In addition to male ocelots being recorded at a large number of points, they showed greater intrasexual spatial overlap as they used the same latrines, suggesting larger home ranges than females. The mean home range size for males was 12.1 ± SE 4.4 km2 (range = 6.2 to 20.8 km2) using MCP, and 19.9 ± SE 9.5 km2 (range = 10.1 to 38.9 km2) applying 95%K.

Our data complemented the gradient of vegetation type sampled for ocelots in Atlantic Forest and support the suggestion that this environmental variable and, consequently, its effect on prey availability, influence the home range size of ocelot.

Crop wild relatives (CWR) represent valuable agrobiodiversity and are prioritized in the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation. Vanilla species are naturally rare with historically infrequent botanical collections. Despite their importance as CWR, fewer than 10% of Vanilla species have been evaluated for the IUCN Red List. Colombia is a diversity center for Vanilla species, yet many remote regions are lacking detailed floristic characterization. We show that the participation of rural communities in scientific endeavor enhances capacity to register biodiversity. We report two Vanilla species in the under-explored region of the Serranía de las Quinchas in the mid–Magdalena River valley in Colombia, including the first report for Colombia of Vanilla karen-christianae. For this, and the second species, Vanilla dressleri, we present descriptions with photographic botanical illustrations, updated distribution maps, and preliminary conservation status assessment. Both species are of elevated conservation concern, categorized as Endangered – EN: B2a,b(ii,iii,iv,v) following IUCN criteria. Within Colombia, all recorded occurrences for both species fall outside protected areas. Vanilla crop wild relatives in Colombia have urgent conservation needs. The Serranía de las Quinchas is a priority for further botanical exploration for Vanilla, as well as other protected areas with appropriate habitat. In situ conservation should be complemented with ex situ actions. Community participation in biodiversity research is recommended in this and other remote regions as an integral step towards enhancing biodiversity research and community-based conservation.","publicationDate":"2022-01-01","doi":"10.3897/neotropical.17.e86792","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.17.e86792","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["BR","CO","CR","EC","NI","PA","PE"],"source_details":{"id":75,"name":"Neotropical Biology and Conservation","slug":"neotropical-biology-and-conservation","issn_l":"2236-3777","openalex_id":"S4210214477","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210214477","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210214477","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://neotropical.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/75/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/neotropical-biology-and-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Flanagan","Nicola"],"keywords":["citizen science"],"topics":["Biochemical and biochemical processes","Plant biochemistry and biosynthesis","Essential Oils and Antimicrobial Activity"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4297996747","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.17.e86792","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4297996747"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":12167,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-70.91722,-53.16389]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-71.51167,-33.04889]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-71.54389,-32.97306]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-70.93333,-33.66667]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-71.46056,-32.55111]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-71.43806,-32.57222]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-71.69139,-33.43694]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-73.53333,-40.68333]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-72.91667,-41.45]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-73.82222,-41.86389]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-70.96667,-53.18333]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-71.41611,-32.62667]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-71.21556,-32.67139]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-71.27306,-33.02444]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-71.35278,-33.03722]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-73.04444,-36.81917]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-73.2425,-9.81722]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-70.7,-30.03333]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-69.6,-30.03333]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-73.23333,-51.06667]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-73.2,-51.18333]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-73.21667,-51.23333]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-72.98333,-51.31667]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-70.85,-53.13333]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-68.7075,-53.56056]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-71.33333,-54.16667]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-66.92583,-55.03861]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-40.53333,-73.68333]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-61.08333,-53.91667]}]},"bbox":[-73.82222,-73.68333,-40.53333,-9.81722],"properties":{"title":"Current state of knowledge on freshwater planarians (Platyhelminthes, Tricladida, Dugesiidae) from Chile","type":"article","abstract":"The unique geography of Chile encompasses a wide diversity of ecosystems and a rich biodiversity.

Coastal rocky points are especially relevant because of their high plant richness, moreover their vegetation is endangered mainly due to the high tourist – urbanistic development of the coast. This study aimed to determine the list of vascular plants occurring on Punta Ballena coastal rocky point and identify its vegetation communities. Also, to identify endemic species, threatened and of interest for conservation species; and to analyze the species historically documented for the site. Punta Ballena stands out for its remarkable species richness with 427 species, dominated by Asteraceae (82), Poaceae (82) and Fabaceae (26). Five vegetation types were found in the natural area, which allows the combination of species with different adaptations. The site supports five vulnerable species and one endangered species (IUCN), 33 priority species for conservation, two local endemisms and numerous national (13) and regional (45) endemisms. Regarding historical collections, to date Punta Ballena has suffered a loss of 14% of its species, this is likely a direct consequence of the recent urban development. From these historically documented species, we consider five of them to be locally extinct. Due to these overwhelming results, we consider the site a diversity hotspot on the Uruguayan coast. It becomes urgent to generate conservation plans that allow the maintenance of the flora and vegetation communities that are still preserved in the area.","publicationDate":"2022-01-01","doi":"10.3897/neotropical.17.e84893","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.17.e84893","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["UY"],"source_details":{"id":75,"name":"Neotropical Biology and Conservation","slug":"neotropical-biology-and-conservation","issn_l":"2236-3777","openalex_id":"S4210214477","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210214477","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210214477","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://neotropical.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/75/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/neotropical-biology-and-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Mai","Patricia"],"keywords":["coastal rocky point"],"topics":["Fern and Epiphyte Biology","Plant Diversity and Evolution","Plant and animal studies"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4286698551","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.17.e84893","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4286698551"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":12165,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-85.6725,10.84639]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-85.71167,10.81]}]},"bbox":[-85.71167,10.81,-85.6725,10.84639],"properties":{"title":"Osteophagia of sea turtle bones by white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) in Santa Rosa National Park, northwestern Costa Rica","type":"article","abstract":"Herbivores obtain nutrients mostly from the vegetation they consume, but may obtain additional minerals during periods of nutritional stress by consuming bones (osteophagia), a behavioral strategy that has been reported for many wild ungulate species, including the white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus).

Cyt b variation also showed significant differences among provinces, particularly, among Cautín and Llanquihue (H = 1.000 vs. 0.222, P < 0.05). Genetic structuring among provinces was relatively high, as indicated by the FST index (FST = 0.41905). Clustering analysis indicated the presence of a distinctive cluster for Chiloé Island individuals. Fu’s FS and Tajima’s D based on CR revealed significant, negative deviations from equilibrium for Chiloé Island (D = -1.65898), Valdivia (Fs = -7.75335) and Llanquihue (Fs = -3.93267), suggesting population expansion in these provinces. Analysis at the longitudinal range showed significant differences among areas based on Π (P < 0.05), with the Andes range and Central Valley showing higher diversity than the Coastal Range. Neither population structuring (FST = 0.01360, P > 0.05) nor distinctive clusters in the longitudinal range were observed. Fu’s Fs and Tajima’s D were negative and significant for the Coastal Range based on CR (Fs = -6.64752, P < 0.001) and Cyt b (D = -1.74110, P < 0.05), suggesting the existence of population expansion. Our results suggest that pudu deer in the analyzed provinces is a genetically structured species, which could be associated with reduced panmixia among populations. The genetic divergence pattern and the population expansion recorded are likely to be associated with past processes of recolonization after Pleistocene glaciation events.","publicationDate":"2022-01-01","doi":"10.3897/neotropical.17.e81324","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.17.e81324","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["CL"],"source_details":{"id":75,"name":"Neotropical Biology and Conservation","slug":"neotropical-biology-and-conservation","issn_l":"2236-3777","openalex_id":"S4210214477","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210214477","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210214477","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://neotropical.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/75/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/neotropical-biology-and-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Colihueque Vargas","Nelsón Roberto"],"keywords":["Control region"],"topics":["Genetic diversity and population structure","Wildlife Ecology and Conservation","Genetic and phenotypic traits in livestock"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4283216431","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.17.e81324","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4283216431"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":12163,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-51.14139,-29.93356]}]},"bbox":[-51.14139,-29.93356,-51.14139,-29.93356],"properties":{"title":"Record of occurrence of Nasua nasua (Linnaeus, 1766) (Carnivora, Procyonidae) in a densely urbanized area of the city of Canoas, southern Brazil","type":"article","abstract":"The South American coati is a carnivore with a wide distribution in South America.

In this study, we aimed to evaluate the pollination and dispersal syndromes of five fragments of the Cerrado Rupestre immersed in an agricultural landscape to answer the following questions: (i) What is the frequency of pollination and dispersal syndromes among species and individuals?; (ii) Which are the predominant pollination and seed dispersal syndromes in this environment?. A total of 66 species, belonging to 44 genera and 29 botanical families, were evaluated. Melittophily was the most common type of pollination syndrome, observed in 54.55% of the species, followed by phalenophily (9.09%), cantharophily, ornithophily, quiropterophilly and sphingophily (all 3.03%), and psychophilly (1.51%). Generalist pollination represented 22.73% of the records. Of the 1246 individuals identified, 59.23% were melitophilous, 25.20% generalists, 5.86% phalenophilous, 3.37% quiropterophilous, 2.49% cantharophilous, 2.25% ornithophilous, 1.44% sphingophilous and 0.16% psychophilous. Regarding dispersion syndromes, zoochory was the most common type of dispersion, observed in 68.18% of the species, followed by anemochory (28.79%) and autochory (3.03%). On the other hand, the frequency among individuals differed from the values found for frequency among species. Of the 1246 individuals identified, 55.38% were anemochoric, 43.10% zoochoric, and 1.52% autochoric. Our results demonstrate the predominance of biotic syndromes in the community, especially melittophily and zoochory, contributing to a better understanding of the functionality and availability of resources in the community, as well as indispensable information for the conservation, management, and restoration of natural environments.","publicationDate":"2022-01-01","doi":"10.3897/neotropical.17.e79247","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.17.e79247","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["BR"],"source_details":{"id":75,"name":"Neotropical Biology and Conservation","slug":"neotropical-biology-and-conservation","issn_l":"2236-3777","openalex_id":"S4210214477","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210214477","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210214477","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://neotropical.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/75/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/neotropical-biology-and-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Pereira","Cássio Cardoso"],"keywords":["anemochory"],"topics":["Plant and animal studies","Ecology and Vegetation Dynamics Studies","Plant Parasitism and Resistance"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4220892943","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.17.e79247","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4220892943"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":12158,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-73.50972,5.70556]}]},"bbox":[-73.50972,5.70556,-73.50972,5.70556],"properties":{"title":"Taxonomic and functional diversity of birds in a rural landscape of high Andean forest, Colombia","type":"article","abstract":"We evaluated the taxonomic and functional diversity of birds in a rural landscape in the north-eastern Andes of Colombia.

In recent years, droughts have increased in frequency and intensity in southeastern Mexico exacerbating conflicts with wildlife as they compete with humans for limited water. In the Yucatan Peninsula, Greater Calakmul Region of southeastern Mexico, Baird’s tapirs (Tapirus bairdii) are increasingly encroaching into local villages (ejidos) in search of water. This behavior could increase tapir mortality from hunting by Calakmul ejidos residents. We evaluated the trends between annual precipitation and tapir sightings near or within Calakmul ejidos from 2008 to 2019 to determine if the frequency of reported conflicts increased relative to decreased precipitation. In addition, with community participation, from 2016 to 2018 we monitored one of the ejidos where human-tapir conflicts were reported to be increasing to better describe the nature of conflicts. We did not find any relationship between the number of tapir sightings reported and annual precipitation. However, more tapirs were documented near ejidos in 2019, which is one of the years with the lowest rainfall (626.6 mm) in the last decade. Tapirs were reported as the most common wildlife species observed at waterholes (35.4%) and apiaries (32.1%). Our findings suggested that water scarcity has increased tapirs’ incursions into human-populated areas and subsequently the potential for human-tapir conflicts. We recommend that managers consider developing alternative water sources that could mitigate human-tapir conflicts and contribute to the long-term viability of other wildlife species that inhabit the Greater Calakmul Region of southeastern Mexico.","publicationDate":"2021-01-01","doi":"10.3897/neotropical.16.e71032","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.16.e71032","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["MX"],"source_details":{"id":75,"name":"Neotropical Biology and Conservation","slug":"neotropical-biology-and-conservation","issn_l":"2236-3777","openalex_id":"S4210214477","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210214477","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210214477","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://neotropical.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/75/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/neotropical-biology-and-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Perez Flores","Jonathan"],"keywords":["Climate change"],"topics":["Wildlife Ecology and Conservation","Archaeology and Natural History","Rangeland and Wildlife Management"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4206839298","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.16.e71032","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4206839298"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":12151,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-41.945,-22.52694]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-41.78694,-22.37083]}]},"bbox":[-41.945,-22.52694,-41.78694,-22.37083],"properties":{"title":"Strandings of sea turtles on beaches around the oil capital in Brazil","type":"article","abstract":"The south-western region of the Atlantic Ocean has feeding and nesting areas for the five species of sea turtles registered in Brazil, which are in different degrees of extinction threat, mainly due to anthropogenic factors.

Stranding data were obtained from active (n = 126) and passive (n = 66) monitoring of beaches and included the records of Chelonia mydas (n = 151), Caretta caretta (n = 23), Lepidochelys olivacea (n = 14), Dermochelys coriacea (n = 2) and Eretmochelys imbricata (n = 1). The largest stranding record occurred in the summer (n = 61) and spring (n = 60), a period compatible with the reproductive season of the species. The results obtained in this study emphasise the importance of the analysis of strandings of sea turtles, which provide relevant data on the biology of the group, the intra and interspecific dynamics and the state of conservation of these animals.","publicationDate":"2021-01-01","doi":"10.3897/neotropical.16.e68662","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.16.e68662","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["BR"],"source_details":{"id":75,"name":"Neotropical Biology and Conservation","slug":"neotropical-biology-and-conservation","issn_l":"2236-3777","openalex_id":"S4210214477","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210214477","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210214477","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://neotropical.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/75/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/neotropical-biology-and-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["da Silva Costa Rêgo","Raísa"],"keywords":["Anthropogenic impact"],"topics":["Turtle Biology and Conservation"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4206484126","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.16.e68662","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4206484126"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":12150,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-73.21306,6.81639]}]},"bbox":[-73.21306,6.81639,-73.21306,6.81639],"properties":{"title":"Behavior, ecology and territory of the chestnut-bellied hummingbird, Saucerottia castaneiventris, in the xerophytic vegetation of the Chicamocha canyon of Colombia","type":"article","abstract":"The Chestnut-bellied Hummingbird Saucerottia castaneiventris is an endemic hummingbird of Colombia, currently categorized as Near Threatened (NT) globally and as Vulnerable (VU) in Colombia.

Few publications have explored melanism in the elusive species, oncilla (Leopardus tigrinus) within the Neotropical part of their range in Costa Rica. Herein, I present the first record of a melanistic oncilla within the montane cloud forest of Monteverde, Costa Rica. Recent studies have found support for theories (e.g. Temporal Segregation Hypothesis and Gloger’s Rule) explaining the ecological advantages driving melanism in oncilla and tropical felid populations. However, it is unclear what is driving melanism in this Monteverde oncilla population due to the singular observation. Further research investigating whether melanism is occurring at a higher frequency in other individuals in the region is critical to better understanding the occurrence of melanism in local populations of this cryptic species. The montane cloud forest in Monteverde provides critical habitat to this vulnerable species within the small Neotropical part of their range. Melanistic individuals may be particularly threatened by land-use change and increasing human pressure if theories for the evolutionary advantages and ecological conditions motivating melanism are supported.","publicationDate":"2021-01-01","doi":"10.3897/neotropical.16.e65464","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.16.e65464","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["CR"],"source_details":{"id":75,"name":"Neotropical Biology and Conservation","slug":"neotropical-biology-and-conservation","issn_l":"2236-3777","openalex_id":"S4210214477","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210214477","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210214477","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://neotropical.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/75/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/neotropical-biology-and-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Rogan","Jordan E"],"keywords":["conservation"],"topics":["Plant and animal studies","Animal Behavior and Reproduction","Amphibian and Reptile Biology"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W3191279299","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.16.e65464","mag":"3191279299","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W3191279299"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":12140,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-78.2247,-1.00667]}]},"bbox":[-78.2247,-1.00667,-78.2247,-1.00667],"properties":{"title":"New morphological data on the rare sigmodontine Mindomys hammondi (Rodentia, Cricetidae), an arboreal oryzomyine from north-western Andean montane forests","type":"article","abstract":"The monotypic rodent Mindomys Weksler, Percequillo & Voss, 2006 (Cricetidae, Sigmodontinae) is one of the rarest members of the speciose tribe Oryzomyini.

The haplotypic and nucleotide diversity was high, indicating divergent populations (FST = 0.223), while the Tajima’s D index (-1,03300; P > 0.10) determined disequilibrium in the D-Loop region, derived from a population expansion that was evidenced in the \"Mismatch distribution\" test and confirmed with the haplotype network in the form of a star. Four lineages were identified in the phylogram (Veracruz n = 3, Oaxaca n = 1), evidencing geographic and reproductive isolation between the two populations.

In the central Monte Desert, Argentina, they are a scarce and limited resource for the biodiversity which depends on them. Waterbirds have been used as biological indicators of wetlands because they respond to fluctuations in food resources and to environmental changes in the short term. Here we analyse the seasonal variations in the structure of the waterbird assemblage from a relict wetland in this region. We carried out censuses of waterbirds in a 6-year period (between 2009 and 2019) during the southern summer and winter. We recorded 1875 individuals of 33 species of waterbirds during the summer and 677 individuals of 29 species during the winter. The grouping patterns of the waterbird assemblages differed between seasons (R = 0.35; p < 0.01). Taxonomic diversity profiles showed greater diversity for all indexes (qD) during the summer. The guild of invertivorous and omnivorous waders had a greater abundance of individuals during the summer (p < 0.05) and, together with the surface-feeding herbivores, contributed to the 87% of the dissimilarity of the assemblages between seasons. Phoenicopterus chilensis was the only species registered as threatened with national and international extinction. Relict wetlands, such as Laguna del Viborón, still have attributes of community diversity and represent the last refuges for waterbirds of the central Monte Desert. The information gathered in this study will contribute to the guidelines for integrated management plans and monitoring programmes for the conservation of the wetland and its biodiversity.","publicationDate":"2021-01-01","doi":"10.3897/neotropical.16.e61672","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.16.e61672","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["AR"],"source_details":{"id":75,"name":"Neotropical Biology and Conservation","slug":"neotropical-biology-and-conservation","issn_l":"2236-3777","openalex_id":"S4210214477","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210214477","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210214477","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://neotropical.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/75/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/neotropical-biology-and-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Tallei","Ever"],"keywords":["Argentina"],"topics":["Wildlife Ecology and Conservation","Avian ecology and behavior","Wildlife-Road Interactions and Conservation"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W3162578380","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.16.e61672","mag":"3162578380","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W3162578380"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":12133,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-51.30028,-30.28639]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-49.99111,-29.60444]}]},"bbox":[-51.30028,-30.28639,-49.99111,-29.60444],"properties":{"title":"Gauchergasilus euripedesi (Copepoda, Ergasilidae) parasitizing different species of fish from two environments in southern Brazil","type":"article","abstract":"The parasitic copepod Gauchergasilus euripedesi (Montú, 1980) Montú & Boxshall, 2002 was described from plankton samples and specimens found in four fish species from the estuarine area of Patos Lagoon, state of Rio Grande do Sul (RS), Brazil.

Females significantly placed their eggs at sites with more understory, leaf litter cover, and greater leaf litter depth than in random sites. Additionally, females selected sites with lower air and soil temperature and lower air humidity. Palo Verde NP is subject to active management actions designed to control invasive plant species in the wetland, namely cattail (Thypha domingensis Pers.). The main actions have been cattle grazing, controlled fires, and mechanical crushing of vegetation. We found that habitat quality in nesting areas is being threatened by at least one of these actions: cattle grazing. This is detrimental for three microhabitat traits that turtles select for nesting sites: understory cover, leaf litter cover, and leaf litter depth.

Increased edge effects are one consequence of fragmentation, and may alter the composition or abundance of species in the remaining habitat fragments. Understanding the ways in which edge effects impact upon the biota is essential for conservation decision-making in fragmented landscapes. Therefore, the aim of this study was to analyze the seasonal patterns of abundance, richness, and composition of Drosophilidae in a Restinga forest fragment in the extreme south of Brazil, as a function of the distance from the edge to the interior of the fragment. The data were analyzed using SIMPER analyses, which showed that the edge and the forest interior were most dissimilar during winter, followed by spring, autumn and summer. An NMDS and the SIMPER analyses showed that the lower dissimilarity between the edge and interior in spring, autumn and summer, compared to winter, is driven by immigration of individuals from outside of the forest fragment. Furthermore, some species were asymmetrically distributed in the fragment, with some species restricted to the edge of the fragment and others to the interior. This information aids in the understanding of the functioning and dynamics of fragmentation, which is fundamental for the maintenance and integrity of environments and their fauna.","publicationDate":"2021-01-01","doi":"10.3897/neotropical.16.e61481","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.16.e61481","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["BR"],"source_details":{"id":75,"name":"Neotropical Biology and Conservation","slug":"neotropical-biology-and-conservation","issn_l":"2236-3777","openalex_id":"S4210214477","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210214477","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210214477","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://neotropical.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/75/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/neotropical-biology-and-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Mendes","Mayara"],"keywords":["Drosophilinae"],"topics":["Plant and animal studies","Insect behavior and control techniques","Insect and Arachnid Ecology and Behavior"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W3161124557","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.16.e61481","mag":"3161124557","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W3161124557"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":12128,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-49.14986,-26.29844]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-49.14345,-26.2899]}]},"bbox":[-49.14986,-26.29844,-49.14345,-26.2899],"properties":{"title":"First records of lowland tapir, Tapirus terrestris (Perissodactyla, Tapiridae), outside conservation areas after 30 years, in Santa Catarina, southern Brazil","type":"article","abstract":"Intense hunting pressure and habitat loss have significantly reduced populations of the lowland tapir Tapirus terrestris in southern Brazil.

For two years (May 2014 to June 2016), the composition and seasonal variation in the Green-cheeked Parakeet diet in the Yungas Piedmont forest in Jujuy, Argentina were examined. Furthermore, fruiting phenology transects were established to evaluate food resource availability and the patterns of food resource used by the Green-cheeked Parakeet. In 214 food plant trees, it was found that flower and dry fruit availability was highest in the dry season, and fleshy fruit production peaked in the wet season, but these phenology patterns for aged plant species suggest that there were no significant differences in food availability. The consumption of 18 plant species was recorded, being Celtis iguanaea (30.73%) and Trema micrantha (22.01%) the most consumed species. In terms of food items, fruits were the most consumed items, followed by seeds and flowers and, to a lesser extent, nectar and leaves. Levins’ niche breadth showed varying levels of diet specialisation amongst seasons, which was narrower (B = 0.28) in the wet season, indicating specialisation in diet during this season. There was a medium overlap in parakeet diet between seasons (Morisita Index = 0.59). We did not find a statistically significant relationship between resource availability and food use, but expansion and contraction in Levins Index and variation in food items consumed throughout the year and season demonstrate high flexibility in the diet. Like other congeners, the Green-cheeked Parakeet has a flexible diet that could be adjusted to the seasonal availability of food resources. These data may contribute to the design of conservation plans for the species and its habitat.","publicationDate":"2021-01-01","doi":"10.3897/neotropical.16.e62109","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.16.e62109","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["AR"],"source_details":{"id":75,"name":"Neotropical Biology and Conservation","slug":"neotropical-biology-and-conservation","issn_l":"2236-3777","openalex_id":"S4210214477","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210214477","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210214477","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://neotropical.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/75/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/neotropical-biology-and-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Benavidez","Analía"],"keywords":["Diet"],"topics":["Wildlife Conservation and Criminology Analyses","Plant and animal studies","Avian ecology and behavior"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W3139475756","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.16.e62109","mag":"3139475756","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W3139475756"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":12125,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-57.81219,-37.92099]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-58.66437,-37.8947]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-59.10412,-37.3521]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-59.09588,-37.3802]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-59.12858,-37.37444]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-59.83306,-37.11112]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-60.15211,-36.93815]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-60.15532,-36.9168]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-60.17454,-36.93447]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-59.13672,-37.3398]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-59.10236,-37.34356]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-59.08683,-37.37717]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-59.095,-37.40167]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-57.98267,-37.8655]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-59.86367,-37.02986]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-59.84364,-36.78056]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-59.87064,-36.77689]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-60.31125,-36.87858]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-59.128,-37.3208]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-59.13272,-37.32264]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-59.73647,-37.13703]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-59.0715,-37.38703]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-60.16767,-36.91639]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-60.16767,-36.91636]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-59.54689,-37.10124]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-60.31417,-36.89642]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-59.86444,-36.83053]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-58.26833,-37.85275]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-59.86136,-36.78203]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-57.79611,-37.94022]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-59.13375,-37.37936]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-59.08925,-37.37742]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-58.6467,-37.87106]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-59.0935,-37.33858]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-59.13417,-37.35647]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-59.127,-37.372]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-58.6468,-37.86953]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-59.12617,-37.3492]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-59.1327,-37.32258]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-59.09039,-37.377]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-60.27753,-36.98158]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-58.08464,-37.84417]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-57.74353,-37.91497]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-58.74983,-38.55339]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-59.85617,-37.10858]}]},"bbox":[-60.31417,-38.55339,-57.74353,-36.77689],"properties":{"title":"An annotated list of the reptiles of the highland grassland of Tandilia Mountains, Argentina","type":"article","abstract":"The study of biodiversity is a fundamental step to develop conservation strategies.

Therefore, it was blessed with the mega-diverse avifauna of the Central American humid neotropics. Although local bird species have been generally well documented, there are hardly any updates on the biodiversity of northern Honduras. Thus, this study contributes to our knowledge of the natural shift of bird life, following up the Cangrejal River with its different slight land use intensification in the region. Standardized bird records along the valley are analyzed, reaching from the beaches of La Ceiba up to the managed rainforests of El Toncontíns in the lower montane rainforests. Nine points were checked over the course of at least 6 days, taking point counts between 16 March and 20 June 2005. A NMDS of the joined nine point-lists elucidates four main groups, namely the beach/city ecosystems, open habitats along the river banks, slightly cleared forests (park landscape), and a mature rainforest. In total, 115 bird species, from 102 genera and 44 families, were found in 2005. As methods are limited, results can represent merely a prodromus of bird composition of neotropical valleys of the Central American isthmus. However, avi-diversity is affected by forest degradation and increasing land-use changes. Since deforestation is still soaring in the region, bird species composition should be monitored, as it will be as dynamic as land use changes in the region.","publicationDate":"2021-01-01","doi":"10.3897/neotropical.16.e57624","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.16.e57624","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["HN"],"source_details":{"id":75,"name":"Neotropical Biology and Conservation","slug":"neotropical-biology-and-conservation","issn_l":"2236-3777","openalex_id":"S4210214477","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210214477","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210214477","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://neotropical.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/75/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/neotropical-biology-and-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Hohnwald","Stefan"],"keywords":["Biodiversity"],"topics":["Species Distribution and Climate Change","Ecology and Vegetation Dynamics Studies","Avian ecology and behavior"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W3127653345","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.16.e57624","mag":"3127653345","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W3127653345"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":12121,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-37.74063,-9.62475]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-37.42892,-9.75452]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-37.28487,-9.82725]}]},"bbox":[-37.74063,-9.82725,-37.28487,-9.62475],"properties":{"title":"An update of the amazon prawn (Macrobrachium amazonicum) distribution in the low course of the São Francisco river (northeast Brazil)","type":"article","abstract":"The prawn Macrobrachium amazonicum has been considered a successful colonizing species of freshwater environments beyond its native range; however, information on the distribution of the species in rivers in northeastern Brazil is doubtful or incomplete.

This study was conducted from April 2015 to October 2016 in two fragments in the south of Atlantic Forest biome through capture, mark and recapture technique. DSC was analyzed using Generalized Linear Models with Poisson distribution where the independent variables were sex, whether the animal was active or not in terms of reproduction, body weight, and climatic season. The mean DSC was greater for D. albiventris (44.6 ± 28.8 m), followed by S. angouya (31.9 ± 25.7 m), O. nigripes (25.8 ± 22.5 m) and A. montensis (18.9 ± 22.0 m). Males of all species moved larger DSC than females. Considering the rodents, reproductive animals also moved larger DSC than non-reproductive animals.

Bird species, typical of the understorey, show morphological and ecological similarities and must thus have some mechanism of ecological separation, such as temporal niche partitioning. The objective of this study was to provide information about activity patterns and activity overlap of bird species typical of the understorey. We expected temporal niche partitioning between ecologically-similar species. We placed camera traps in 29 sampling points in a high evergreen forest in the southeast of Mexico between 2011 and 2013. All species were mainly diurnal and, contrary to what we expected, there was temporal partitioning between tinamids, but not in galliforms and columbiforms. The degree of activity overlap might reflect a solitary or group lifestyle of the three sets of species, as well as shared behavioural preferences and similar adaptations. These results contribute to our knowledge of the basic biology and behavioural ecology of birds of the understorey.","publicationDate":"2021-01-01","doi":"10.3897/neotropical.16.e59360","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.16.e59360","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["MX"],"source_details":{"id":75,"name":"Neotropical Biology and Conservation","slug":"neotropical-biology-and-conservation","issn_l":"2236-3777","openalex_id":"S4210214477","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210214477","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210214477","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://neotropical.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/75/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/neotropical-biology-and-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Pérez-Irineo","Gabriela"],"keywords":["Activity overlap"],"topics":["Wildlife Ecology and Conservation","Avian ecology and behavior","Species Distribution and Climate Change"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W3120988982","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.16.e59360","mag":"3120988982","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W3120988982"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":12109,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-47.77389,-20.36222]}]},"bbox":[-47.77389,-20.36222,-47.77389,-20.36222],"properties":{"title":"Analysis of abiotic factors associated with foam nests of Cuvier’s foam froglet (Physalaemus cuvieri) in southeastern Brazil","type":"article","abstract":"Climate change may have significant impacts on amphibian diversity due to alterations in microhabitat conditions where these species occurs. Understanding the abiotic factors associated with a species’ microhabitat are therefore necessary to evaluate the impact they may suffer. Amphibians are exposed to changing microhabitat conditions at multiple life stages, since reproduction and larval development of most species depend on water, whereas adults frequently depend on terrestrial habitats. Physalaemus cuvieri is a Neotropical frog that uses foam nests for reproduction that may provide some protection for tadpoles against temperature and humidity fluctuations. Herein, foam nests of P. cuvieri were studied within vegetation around a pond, with the aim of analyzing the morphometric (depth, area and volume) relationships of foam nests with abiotic factors (humidity, temperature). Humidity 2 cm above the nests was significantly greater than 2 m from the nests. Temperature, measured at different depths of the nests, was significantly reduced by up to 10 °C when compared to atmospheric air temperatures above the nests. We conclude that foam nests facilitate a protective environment for eggs by regulating temperature and humidity to acceptable levels.","publicationDate":"2020-01-01","doi":"10.3897/neotropical.15.e57804","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.15.e57804","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["BR"],"source_details":{"id":75,"name":"Neotropical Biology and Conservation","slug":"neotropical-biology-and-conservation","issn_l":"2236-3777","openalex_id":"S4210214477","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210214477","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210214477","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://neotropical.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/75/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/neotropical-biology-and-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Lúcio Rodrigues","Cristiano"],"keywords":["Area/volume relation"],"topics":["Amphibian and Reptile Biology","Species Distribution and Climate Change","Wildlife-Road Interactions and Conservation"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W3117958351","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.15.e57804","mag":"3117958351","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W3117958351"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":12105,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-77.88333,-0.6]}]},"bbox":[-77.88333,-0.6,-77.88333,-0.6],"properties":{"title":"Number, density and distribution of Rufous-banded Owl Ciccaba albitarsis (Strigiformes, Strigidae) in a cloud forest","type":"article","abstract":"The aim of the research was to determine the number and distribution of the Rufous-banded Owls Ciccaba albitarsis in a cloud forest on the northern slopes of the Andes.

Thus, stenotopic species and those with low-dispersal ability will likely be negatively affected by landscape modifications that reduce environmental complexity. In this study, we identify and quantify the effects of biotic and abiotic factors related to habitat complexity on the variation in scorpion assemblages in terms of both species’ richness, abundance and composition across 18 transects covering Caatinga landscapes with different levels of degradation. Using ultraviolet flashlights, we sampled 269 scorpions, belonging to six species and two families. The results showed contrasting patterns of species richness and abundance that depend on the level of habitat complexity. More specifically, we reported that scorpion species richness could be predicted by the number of trees, while the coefficient of variation of the diameter at breast height of trees (cvDBH) is a predictor of scorpion abundance. These findings suggest that vegetation structure is deterministic for the maintenance of scorpion assemblages in Caatinga landscapes. In addition, the cvDBH and tree number may explain 39% and 40% of the variability observed amongst scorpion assemblages in terms of richness difference and species composition, respectively.

The lesser long-nosed bat is known in Honduras from only two localities in the southern dry forests below 100 m elevation, and there are no recent records of this species in the country. Our objective is to report new records on distribution and habitat of the lesser long-nosed bat in Honduras. We found eight lesser long-nosed bats at Cerro de Hula, Francisco Morazán department in 2012, and 10 at La Anonilla, Choluteca department, southern Honduras in 2015. Based on these 18 individuals of the lesser long-nosed bat, we report two new localities in Honduras, an altitude record, and the use of another habitat other than the dry forest. The highest point registered was at 1710 m a.s.l. in pastureland with forest remnants in an area heavily impacted by human activities. The new localities are found in the Subtropical Moist Forest. Populations of long-nosed bats in Honduras are probably resident and may include altitudinal movements. Although this species has been described widely in North America, its behavior in Honduras is practically unknown. It is a key species for the tequila and mezcal industry, but its range extends beyond the tequila production area, where it maintains a key role as a pollinator and link between habitats. As a result, research and conservation efforts should be an international goal.","publicationDate":"2020-01-01","doi":"10.3897/neotropical.15.e57376","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.15.e57376","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["HN"],"source_details":{"id":75,"name":"Neotropical Biology and Conservation","slug":"neotropical-biology-and-conservation","issn_l":"2236-3777","openalex_id":"S4210214477","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210214477","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210214477","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://neotropical.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/75/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/neotropical-biology-and-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Mora","José Manuel"],"keywords":["Choluteca"],"topics":["Bat Biology and Ecology Studies","Species Distribution and Climate Change","Wildlife Ecology and Conservation"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W3111053315","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.15.e57376","mag":"3111053315","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W3111053315"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":12097,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-40.53972,-19.96528]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-40.52722,-19.96528]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-40.53806,-19.96667]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-40.52889,-19.97306]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-40.53472,-19.97333]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-40.52861,-19.96889]}]},"bbox":[-40.53972,-19.97333,-40.52722,-19.96528],"properties":{"title":"Bat assemblage at a high diversity locality in the Atlantic Forest","type":"article","abstract":"The Estação Biológica Santa Lúcia (EBSL) is one of the oldest reserves in Brazil, used as a research site since 1939 by the naturalist Augusto Ruschi.

The aim of this study was to record information on the spatial distribution of anurans in the Tejipió forest, state of Pernambuco, northeastern Brazil. Fieldwork was carried out weekly between October 2011 and April 2012, with daytime and night-time excursions for time-constrained active searching, in forested and open areas, military construction area and water bodies. Pitfall traps and accidental sightings were also used as alternative collection methods. Data were used to calculate richness, rarefaction curves and richness estimators. A total of 21 species were recorded, distributed in six families: Bufonidae (2 spp.); Craugastoridae (1 sp.); Hylidae (8 spp.); Leptodactylidae (8 spp.); Microhylidae (1 sp.) and Phyllomedusidae (1 sp.). Only the species Rhinella jimi was found occupying all sampled habitats in the research area. Adenomera hylaedactyla and Pristimantis ramagii deserve special care in the area because they are specialists, occupying a smaller number of habitats and microhabitats. The community of anurans of the Tejipió forest is similar to those recorded in other areas of the Atlantic Forest at the Pernambuco state, and its knowledge is essential as a basis for conservation of the area. The gradual recovery of this Atlantic Forest remnant would favor the recolonization of fauna and flora and the conservation of local biodiversity.","publicationDate":"2020-01-01","doi":"10.3897/neotropical.15.e49656","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.15.e49656","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["BR"],"source_details":{"id":75,"name":"Neotropical Biology and Conservation","slug":"neotropical-biology-and-conservation","issn_l":"2236-3777","openalex_id":"S4210214477","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210214477","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210214477","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://neotropical.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/75/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/neotropical-biology-and-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Barbosa","Gessica"],"keywords":["abundance"],"topics":["Amphibian and Reptile Biology","Plant and animal studies","Wildlife-Road Interactions and Conservation"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W3089669566","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.15.e49656","mag":"3089669566","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W3089669566"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":12086,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-67.16667,-32.78333]}]},"bbox":[-67.16667,-32.78333,-67.16667,-32.78333],"properties":{"title":"Wildlife associated with burrows of Dolichotis patagonum in central west Argentina","type":"article","abstract":"Community structure is strongly influenced by positive interactions between species.

In this work, we analyse the influence of abiotic factors (temperature and humidity) on the abundance of P. ascanius in an urban restinga fragment of Iriry’s Environmental Protection Area (Iriry APA), located in the municipality of Rio das Ostras in Rio de Janeiro. For that, the mark-recapture technique was used. Sampling was carried out from October 2017 to May 2018, between 7:00 am and 11:00 am. Seventy-two individuals of P. ascanius were collected and showed higher proportions of males over females and greater abundance of individuals in the month of October. On average, the number of individuals was significantly higher with the increase in air temperature and lower with the increase in air humidity. The abundance of P. ascanius at the restinga of Iriry APA varied monthly and temporally throughout the day, influenced by temperature and air humidity. The results provide information that can support management plans for conservation of this threatened species, as well as for urban areas of the Atlantic Forest.","publicationDate":"2020-01-01","doi":"10.3897/neotropical.15.e55719","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.15.e55719","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["BR"],"source_details":{"id":75,"name":"Neotropical Biology and Conservation","slug":"neotropical-biology-and-conservation","issn_l":"2236-3777","openalex_id":"S4210214477","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210214477","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210214477","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://neotropical.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/75/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/neotropical-biology-and-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Santos Pereira","Emily"],"keywords":["Atlantic Forest"],"topics":["Wildlife-Road Interactions and Conservation","Plant and animal studies","Lepidoptera: Biology and Taxonomy"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W3082165207","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.15.e55719","mag":"3082165207","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W3082165207"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":12080,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-59.23169,-37.62691]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-59.05519,-37.47719]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-59.08925,-37.37742]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-59.08963,-37.3776]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-59.08815,-37.37847]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-58.6467,-37.87107]}]},"bbox":[-59.23169,-37.87107,-58.6467,-37.37742],"properties":{"title":"Filling gaps in the southern range of the endangered snake Philodryas agassizii: new localities in Tandilia highland grassland, Argentina","type":"article","abstract":"Philodryas agassizii is an endangered snake of shrubland and grasslands well preserved in Argentina, Paraguay, Brazil, and Uruguay.

Among the four species present in MNCE, H. antenori is the only species occurring within the limits of a conservation unit in the Furna Feia National Park. Anthropogenic impacts were observed in most temporary habitats visited, which ranged from river channel to small ponds in cave entrances. All records are found in coastal basins that discharge in the northern coast of the MNCE, in Ceará and Rio Grande do Norte states, which are crucial for the conservation of the Caatinga’s killifishes. The results also evidenced the importance of karstic habitats in the Jandaíra Formation as potential biotopes for seasonal fish in MNCE. This information must be used to update the conservation status of these species and highlight the importance of strategies for preserving the Caatinga’s temporary aquatic habitats, which should be considered for environmental licensing purposes.","publicationDate":"2020-01-01","doi":"10.3897/neotropical.15.e51738","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.15.e51738","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["BR"],"source_details":{"id":75,"name":"Neotropical Biology and Conservation","slug":"neotropical-biology-and-conservation","issn_l":"2236-3777","openalex_id":"S4210214477","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210214477","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210214477","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://neotropical.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/75/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/neotropical-biology-and-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Abrantes","Yuri"],"keywords":["Dry lands"],"topics":["Fish biology, ecology, and behavior","Fish Biology and Ecology Studies","Fish Ecology and Management Studies"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W3046792136","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.15.e51738","mag":"3046792136","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W3046792136"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":12074,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-53.77153,-32.1119]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-53.78394,-32.1255]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-53.75206,-32.1349]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-53.75852,-32.1406]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-53.75703,-32.1416]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-53.72649,-32.1424]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[53.77923,-32.1492]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-53.75272,-32.1923]}]},"bbox":[-53.78394,-32.1923,53.77923,-32.1119],"properties":{"title":"Mammals of Paso Centurión, an area with relicts of Atlantic Forest in Uruguay","type":"article","abstract":"Paso Centurión is one of the most diverse areas of Uruguay.

With the aim to document the biodiversity of the area together with the local people, the NGO JULANA has been conducting a participatory monitoring process with camera traps since 2013. Here, we present a list of 23 medium and large-size mammal species documented in the area and a standardised dataset of occurrence records. Top observations include the last Chrysocyon brachyurus seen in Uruguay, the first record of Herpailurus yagouaroundi in the country and the second report of Leopardus munoai in the area. We also highlight the frequent observation of numerous rare species such as Tamandua tetradactyla, Leopardus wiedii, Cabassous tatouay, Coendou spinosus and Cuniculus paca. Although the cameras were located within only a few metres of the houses of the local people, some of the rarest and most elusive species in the country were reported. This suggests a possible coexistence between people – their socio-economic practices – and nature in the area. Our work underlines the importance of the recent inclusion of Paso Centurión and Sierra de Ríos to the National System of Protected Areas under the proposed category of ‘Protected Landscape’.

Most of the registered species (61%) were habitat and diet generalists, and the same percentage of species classified as uncommon or rare. In relation to the period of greatest activity, falconids were more active in the first hour while accipitrids and cathartids were more active in the fourth hour. In addition, we did not observe a seasonal pattern in this community, but Gampsonyx swainsonii showed a seasonal trend. We verified that the urban area of the municipality of Pirajuí has a significant diversity of birds of prey, including specialist species of habitat and diet.

Furthermore, as A. inermis is presumed to be diurnal, we assume that it does not pursue its prey actively, given that most of the prey species are nocturnal, but rather searches actively during the daytime for prey hidden in the bottom substrate. This hypothesis on the feeding strategy of A. inermis can only be confirmed by underwater observations, either in the wild or under captive conditions.","publicationDate":"2020-01-01","doi":"10.3897/neotropical.15.e53383","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.15.e53383","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["BR"],"source_details":{"id":75,"name":"Neotropical Biology and Conservation","slug":"neotropical-biology-and-conservation","issn_l":"2236-3777","openalex_id":"S4210214477","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210214477","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210214477","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://neotropical.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/75/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/neotropical-biology-and-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Freitas","Tiago"],"keywords":["Amazon"],"topics":["Fish biology, ecology, and behavior","Fish Biology and Ecology Studies","Fish Ecology and Management Studies"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W3043760187","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.15.e53383","mag":"3043760187","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W3043760187"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":12069,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-96.54778,17.56389]}]},"bbox":[-96.54778,17.56389,-96.54778,17.56389],"properties":{"title":"First record of albinism in the paca Cuniculus paca (Rodentia, Cuniculidae) in southeast Mexico","type":"article","abstract":"Even though there have been reports of anomalies in the colouration of several species of neotropical mammals, these events are considered to be rare within natural populations.

However, it is speculated that these roles may still be performed by smaller animals, such as small mammals like rodents and marsupials, that thrive in defaunated sites. We investigated if small mammals can disperse the large-seeded palm Attalea dubia. We performed the study in a well-conserved Atlantic Forest remnant in southeast Brazil that still harbours large mammals, such as tapirs. Focal observations showed that capuchin-monkeys consumed the mesocarp of the fruits and dropped the seeds beneath the plant crown thereafter. Mammals preyed on ca. 1% and removed ca. 15% of the fallen fruit/seed and deposited them up to 15 m away. Amongst them, small mammals (< 1 kg), such as the squirrel Guerlinguetus brasiliensis and non-identified nocturnal Sigmodontinae, as well as the marsupial Philander frenatus performed the bulk of interactions. Dispersal enhances recruitment, but the short distances of seed removal did not match the current spatial distribution of palm seedlings and juveniles. Recaching rates of hoarded seeds were small (2%) and unlikely to increase distances of seed dispersal achieved. Short distances of dispersal would increase plant clumpiness and negative density-dependent effects with time. Although small mammals can provide legitimate dispersal, they cannot fully replace larger frugivorous mammals and maintain long-distance seed dispersal that feeds plant metapopulation dynamics and seed gene flow.","publicationDate":"2020-01-01","doi":"10.3897/neotropical.15.e54017","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.15.e54017","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["BR"],"source_details":{"id":75,"name":"Neotropical Biology and Conservation","slug":"neotropical-biology-and-conservation","issn_l":"2236-3777","openalex_id":"S4210214477","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210214477","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210214477","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://neotropical.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/75/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/neotropical-biology-and-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Meiga","Ana"],"keywords":["Attalea"],"topics":["Ecology and Vegetation Dynamics Studies","Wildlife Ecology and Conservation","Animal Ecology and Behavior Studies"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W3034436798","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.15.e54017","mag":"3034436798","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W3034436798"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":12064,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-75.36606,9.49825]}]},"bbox":[-75.36606,9.49825,-75.36606,9.49825],"properties":{"title":"Use of microhabitat and activity patterns of two lizard species from a seasonal dry forest in northern Colombia","type":"article","abstract":"In this work, the microhabitat use and activity patterns of two lizard species with sympatric distribution were evaluated in a dry forest fragment within the department of Sucre, northern Colombia. Data was collected in May, June, September and October of 2017, using the active search method limited by time (7:00 and 19:00 hours). Substrates used, spatial distribution and time of capture were recorded for individuals of the species Loxopholis rugiceps (Cope 1869) and Lepidoblepharis sanctaemartae (Ruthven 1916). Complementarily, environmental and physical parameters were recorded, which allowed us to characterise the microhabitats of the species. A total of 276 lizards were recorded, 177 belonging to the species Loxopholis rugiceps and 99 to Lepidoblepharis sanctaemartae. The results showed similar resource use by the two species for the spatial dimension, with both exploiting different terrestrial elements mainly from the interior forest, followed by the riverbed stream and forest edge. Differences were found in the daily activity patterns between species, with individuals of L. sanctaemartae more frequently recorded in the morning hours and L. rugiceps in the afternoon hours. The activity patterns did not differ by age groups: juveniles and adults. Both species were more frequently found in the litter substrate within the forest, followed by rocks and bare ground. Our results indicate that both species are tolerant to matrix conditions, however, they require internal forest conditions to exploit food resources and refuge.","publicationDate":"2020-01-01","doi":"10.3897/neotropical.15.e49713","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.15.e49713","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["CO"],"source_details":{"id":75,"name":"Neotropical Biology and Conservation","slug":"neotropical-biology-and-conservation","issn_l":"2236-3777","openalex_id":"S4210214477","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210214477","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210214477","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://neotropical.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/75/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/neotropical-biology-and-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Atencia Gándara","Pedro"],"keywords":["ecological niche"],"topics":["Species Distribution and Climate Change","Amphibian and Reptile Biology","Animal and Plant Science Education"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W3034712752","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.15.e49713","mag":"3034712752","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W3034712752"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":12063,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-96.41639,15.91444]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-96.35367,15.86611]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-96.35119,15.84972]}]},"bbox":[-96.41639,15.84972,-96.35119,15.91444],"properties":{"title":"Bat diversity in three roosts in the Coast region of Oaxaca, México","type":"article","abstract":"In this paper, we analyze the richness, abundance, diversity and trophic guilds in a mine (La Mina) and two caves (El Apanguito and Cerro Huatulco) in the municipalities of Pluma Hidalgo and Santa María Huatulco, in the state of Oaxaca, México, a state with high species richness of bats nationwide. Fieldwork was conducted from July 2016 to June 2017. Using a harp trap, we captured 5,836 bats belonging to 14 species, 10 genera and five families. The greatest species richness was found in Cerro Huatulco (12 species), followed by La Mina (nine species) and El Apanguito (four species). Overall, the most abundant species were Pteronotus fulvus (40.59% of captures) and Pteronotus mesoamericanus (32.01%). Half of the species captured corresponded to the insectivore trophic guild. Results show that the three roosts, but particularly Cerro Huatulco and El Apanguito, maintain high species richness and abundances of individuals due to processes that favor colonies of thousands of individuals.

In this study we evaluated the influence of two different forest strata on species composition and bat guild structure. The samplings were carried out over eight nights in a forest fragment located in the southwest of the Amazon; we used mist nets installed in the understory and sub-canopy. A total of 197 captures were distributed in 19 genera and 25 species; they were all representatives of the family Phyllostomidae. In the sub-canopy, 54 individuals and 15 species were captured, with four exclusive species. In the understory, 143 individuals of 21 species were recorded, of which 10 were exclusive of this stratum. The sub-canopy presented a diversity index greater than the understory, with differences between species composition of the two assemblies, due to the presence or absence of some species. We also found a variation in the presence of frugivorous, insectivorous and omnivorous species, which is the result of differences in the foraging methods of these species and also of the habitat preference. Differences were verified in the assemblies studied, demonstrating the effects of vertical stratification on the bats in the studied fragment. Studies that consider more than one vertical stratum in tropical forests are more representative than sampling with only understory mist nets, given the capture of exclusive species.","publicationDate":"2020-01-01","doi":"10.3897/neotropical.15.e47641","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.15.e47641","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["BR"],"source_details":{"id":75,"name":"Neotropical Biology and Conservation","slug":"neotropical-biology-and-conservation","issn_l":"2236-3777","openalex_id":"S4210214477","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210214477","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210214477","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://neotropical.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/75/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/neotropical-biology-and-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Costa Silva","Richarlly"],"keywords":["Chiroptera"],"topics":["Bat Biology and Ecology Studies","Effects of Environmental Stressors on Livestock","Marine animal studies overview"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W3023467728","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.15.e47641","mag":"3023467728","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W3023467728"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":12059,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-37.13417,-10.83861]}]},"bbox":[-37.13417,-10.83861,-37.13417,-10.83861],"properties":{"title":"Phytosociology of the shrub-arboreal stratum of the Ibura National Forest, Northeastern Brazil: are 35 years sufficient to promote the regeneration of a forest fragment?","type":"article","abstract":"Among the various applications of phytosociology, the evaluation of natural regeneration is of great importance, mainly because it provides insights for ecological restoration.

For this purpose, 20 plots were sampled and all individuals with a diameter at breast height (DBH) ≥ 8 cm were measured. Sampling revealed 821 individuals in the forest area and 1,000 in the eucalyptus area. These individuals represent 84 species and the areas presented a significant difference in species composition, with 61 in the eucalyptus area and 65 in the Forest area, and only 40 species were common to both areas. There was a predominance of pioneer individuals in the eucalyptus area. There also was a significant difference in basal area, relative density and relative dominance, but no significant differences were observed in average height. It was concluded that a period of 35 years is insufficient for the recovery of the eucalyptus area, which remains in a more initial successional stage than the forest area.","publicationDate":"2020-01-01","doi":"10.3897/neotropical.15.e49114","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.15.e49114","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["BR"],"source_details":{"id":75,"name":"Neotropical Biology and Conservation","slug":"neotropical-biology-and-conservation","issn_l":"2236-3777","openalex_id":"S4210214477","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210214477","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210214477","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://neotropical.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/75/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/neotropical-biology-and-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Santana Santos","José Paulo"],"keywords":["Alantic Forest"],"topics":["Ecology and Vegetation Dynamics Studies","Agroforestry and silvopastoral systems","Botany, Ecology, and Taxonomy Studies"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W3016727401","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.15.e49114","mag":"3016727401","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W3016727401"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":12057,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-79.6568,8.9407]}]},"bbox":[-79.6568,8.9407,-79.6568,8.9407],"properties":{"title":"First host plant record for Pacarina (Hemiptera, Cicadidae)","type":"article","abstract":"Twenty-nine Pacarina (Hemiptera: Cicadidae) adults, 12 males and 17 females, emerged from the soil of a potted Dracaena trifasciata (Asparagaceae) in Arraiján, Republic of Panama, providing the first rearing records and the first definitive host plant records for any species of Pacarina.

However, sample limitations obstruct the elaboration of accurate faunistic inventories, especially in biodiversity hotspots, such as tropical forests. In this way, the objective of this research was to describe the richness, using different non-parametric estimators of richness, in the family Cerambycidade, a group of hyperdiverse insects in the Atlantic Forest. Five hundred and eighty-one specimens belonging to 145 species and 3 subfamilies were collected. Among the species sampled, 46.2% were considered singletons, 13.8% doubletons, 48.95% unicates, 15.15% duplicates and 90.3% ecologically rare. The species accumulation curves did not stabilize, which was already expected considering that more species and individuals were sampled in the last months of collection. The estimated richness presented values much higher than the observed richness. This was a reflect of the high proportion of ecologically rare species present in the sample. This work showed that faunistic inventories of hyperdiverse groups, with only one year of collection and a single sampling methodology may underestimate the species richness of a region. Thus, larger time series associated with different collection methods are essential for a more accurate survey of biodiversity in the Atlantic Forest.","publicationDate":"2019-01-01","doi":"10.3897/neotropical.14.e49026","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.14.e49026","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["BR"],"source_details":{"id":75,"name":"Neotropical Biology and Conservation","slug":"neotropical-biology-and-conservation","issn_l":"2236-3777","openalex_id":"S4210214477","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210214477","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210214477","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://neotropical.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/75/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/neotropical-biology-and-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Gatti","Felipe"],"keywords":["ACE"],"topics":["Forest Insect Ecology and Management","Ecology and Vegetation Dynamics Studies","Forest Ecology and Biodiversity Studies"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W3001860465","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.14.e49026","mag":"3001860465","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W3001860465"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":12042,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-51.30883,-30.138]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-51.30017,-30.28517]}]},"bbox":[-51.30883,-30.28517,-51.30017,-30.138],"properties":{"title":"First report of Rhabdochona acuminata (Nematoda, Rhabdochonidae) in Astyanax aff. fasciatus (Characiformes, Characidae) from Lake Guaíba, southern Brazil","type":"article","abstract":"Specimens of Rhabdochona (Rhabdochona) acuminata (Molin, 1860) were collected in Astyanax aff. fasciatus (Cuvier, 1819) from Lake Guaíba, municipalities of Guaíba (30°08.28'S, 51°18.53'W) and Barra do Ribeiro (30°17.11'S, 51°18.01'W), southern Brazil.

Análises de ordenação e de partição da variância da composição de espécies nos componentes solo, espaço, e solo estruturado no espaço foram empregadas. Os padrões da vegetação foram melhor explicados pelo espaço, principalmente a distância da área fonte florestal. Comunidades mais próximas da antiga borda florestal são caracterizadas por mais espécies e indivíduos com dispersão zoocórica. Áreas mais distantes têm predomínio de arbustos campestres (Baccharis uncinella) e poucas arbóreas se estabeleceram. O solo apresentou baixa explicação (5%), porém as condições modificam-se conforme o desenvolvimento florestal avança.

The aim of this study was to characterise the floristic composition, structure and diversity of fragments of Rupestrian Savannah in south-eastern Brazil and to examine the similarity with other rupestrian cerrado vegetations and with cerrado sensu stricto on profound soils. For this, phytosociological parameters, evenness and diversity were calculated and compared with other studies. The survey exhibited 72 species, 45 genera, 30 families and high floristic similarity with cerrado on profound soils. There were no indicator species of the Rupestrian Savannah, but there were typical species of rocky environments. The basal area was significantly larger in the profound soil cerrado in relationship to the Rupestrian Savannah and evenness was lower in the Rupestrian Savannah of this study compared to others. These variables reflect the lower exploration capacity of the root of rocky environments. The highest similarity between the Rupestrian Savannah and cerrado on profound soils refers to the canga ferruginous nature, which represents the limit of the tableland of cerrado on the edge of the plateaus, allowing greater sharing of flora.","publicationDate":"2019-01-01","doi":"10.3897/neotropical.14.e47228","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.14.e47228","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["BR"],"source_details":{"id":75,"name":"Neotropical Biology and Conservation","slug":"neotropical-biology-and-conservation","issn_l":"2236-3777","openalex_id":"S4210214477","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210214477","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210214477","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://neotropical.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/75/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/neotropical-biology-and-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Pereira","Cássio Cardoso"],"keywords":["Brazilian flora"],"topics":["Plant Diversity and Evolution","Fern and Epiphyte Biology","Ecology and Vegetation Dynamics Studies"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2990583136","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.14.e47228","mag":"2990583136","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W2990583136"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":12035,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-63.48361,-1.05583]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-63.30778,-0.83194]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-63.43056,-1.02806]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-63.38472,-0.99611]}]},"bbox":[-63.48361,-1.05583,-63.30778,-0.83194],"properties":{"title":"Alimentação de Auchenipterichthys punctatus (Siluriformes, Auchenipteridae) em lagos do rio Cuiuni, Amazonas, Brasil","type":"article","abstract":"Auchenipterichthys punctatus é uma espécie de peixe muito abundante durante o período de águas baixas no rio Cuiuni, sendo objetivo deste estudo investigar a alimentação de A. punctatus em lagos desse rio.

Os itens de maior consumo e diversidade estão dentro da categoria animal, representados por diferentes ordens de insetos de origem autóctone e alóctone. De acordo com os dados da dieta, a composição alimentar de A. punctatus durante o período da seca nos lagos do rio Cuiuni evidencia o hábito carnívoro com tendência à insetivoria. Os valores de amplitude de nicho trófico foram considerados baixos em todos os lagos. A atividade alimentar evidenciou que durante o período da seca houve restrição devido ao alto consumo de um único item.

Assim, 11.550 sementes foram semeadas em 2.520 covas, espaçadas 1 × 1 m, em duas áreas de 5.000 m2 cada, em área de pastagem abandonada em solo do tipo Neossolo Regolítico na Fazenda Entre Rios, Distrito Federal, Brasil. Cada cova recebeu de duas a dez sementes de uma espécie, sem qualquer tratamento de quebra de dormência. A taxa de emergência foi avaliada após 120 dias, e a sobrevivência das emergentes após um, dois e três anos. Além disso, seu crescimento em altura foi avaliado após três anos. Das 36 espécies, quatro apresentaram entre 10% e 20% de emergência e quatro (Copaifera langsdorffii, Hymenaea courbaril, Eugenia dysenterica e Stryphnodendron adstringens) acima de 20% e sobrevivência >80%, após um ano. Nesse mesmo período, 24 das espécies testadas apresentaram taxa de sobrevivência >60%. No geral, a taxa média de sobrevivência dos indivíduos nos três anos foi baixa (53%).

Bioacoustic studies aim to understand the production, propagation and reception of acoustic signals, and they are an important component of research on animal behavior and evolution. In this study we analyzed the sound structure of duet vocalizations in pairs of Myiothlypis leucoblephara and evaluated whether the vocal variables differ among pairs and if there are differences in temporal characteristics and frequency of duets between pairs in forest edges vs. forest interior. Vocalizations were recorded from 17 bird pairs in three remnants of Atlantic Forest in southern Brazil. Six of the bird pairs were situated at the edge of the forest remnant, and 11 were in the interior of the remnant. The duets of different pairs between forest areas showed descriptive differences in the frequency, number of notes per call, and time between issuance of calls, with the main distinguishing feature being a change in frequency of a few notes in the second part of the musical phrase. The minimum frequency of vocalization was reduced at the private area than in the other two remnants (p <0.05). The duets of birds in the forest edge and forest interior did not significantly differ in minimum or maximum frequency of phrases (p> 0.05), phrase duration (p> 0.05) or number of notes per phrase (p> 0.05). Myiothlypis leucoblephara did not show a specific pattern with respect to issue of phrases in duets, but instead showed five different patterns, which were variable among pairs. There was a sharp decline or alternation in frequency between notes in the second part of the musical phrase for recognition among pairs.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of different weed management methods in coffee plantations on edaphic mites, and to compare these results with mite communities of native forest habitats in southeastern Brazil. Soil samples were taken between the rows of a coffee plantation under different weed management methods, such as without weeding, manual weeding, agricultural grid, contact herbicide (glyphosate), residual herbicide (oxyfluorfen), mechanical tiller, and mechanical mower, and in a native forest area. Weed management affected edaphic mite communities, with the residual herbicide treatment having the greatest impact on species composition, abundance, richness and diversity. The use of manual weeding and the maintenance of unweeded areas were the practices that preserved mite communities closest to those found in native forest habitats. Thus, such practices are recommended as best practices in coffee plantations. Among the studied mites, the groups Oribatida and Mesostigmata were found in all sites, presenting the greatest abundance and richness, and were sensitive to different forms of weed control. On this basis, we suggest these groups as indicators of soil quality in coffee plantations.","publicationDate":"2019-01-01","doi":"10.3897/neotropical.14.e38094","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.14.e38094","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["BR"],"source_details":{"id":75,"name":"Neotropical Biology and Conservation","slug":"neotropical-biology-and-conservation","issn_l":"2236-3777","openalex_id":"S4210214477","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210214477","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210214477","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://neotropical.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/75/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/neotropical-biology-and-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-neotropical-biology-and-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Marafeli","Patrícia de Pádua"],"keywords":["Coffea arabica"],"topics":["Study of Mite Species","Nematode management and characterization studies","Pesticide and Herbicide Environmental Studies"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2964343872","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/neotropical.14.e38094","mag":"2964343872","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W2964343872"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":12023,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[115.33139,-6.91917]}]},"bbox":[115.33139,-6.91917,115.33139,-6.91917],"properties":{"title":"First record of the Mozambique tilapia, Oreochromis mossambicus Peters, 1852 (Perciformes, Cichlidae), on Kangean Island, Indonesia","type":"article","abstract":"In 2019 we captured specimens of Oreochromis mossambicus Peters, 1852 from Batu Batu River, an estuary river on Kangean Island (Indonesia), a conservation area in the Java Sea.

Environmental DNA (eDNA) is a powerful approach for detecting aquatic species, but sampling methodology can influence detection outcomes. This study evaluated eDNA sampling methods for detecting shortfin eel (Anguilla australis) and longfin eel (Anguilla dieffenbachii) in a turbid lowland lake in Aotearoa New Zealand. The sampling methods compared included active pump filtration, passive samplers, tow nets and sediment sampling. The spatial distribution of eDNA was assessed, and occupancy modelling was used to optimise sampling strategies. Active pump filtration of 3 L water samples produced the most consistent detections of eel eDNA. Passive samplers deployed for 13 h yielded the highest eel eDNA concentrations, although they exhibited high inter-replicate variability. Sediment samples and short-duration passive samplers performed poorly, and collection issues with tow-net sampling led to its exclusion from further analysis. Eel eDNA concentrations were higher nearshore, particularly near the lake’s outflow, potentially reflecting eel activity. Detection rates were higher for A. australis than for A. dieffenbachii, likely due to species-specific differences in abundance, distribution and eDNA dynamics. Occupancy models showed detection probability was driven by sampling method for A. australis and by both sampling method and location for A. dieffenbachii. Pump filtration and long-duration passive sampling provided the highest detection probabilities, with three replicates per site sufficient for reliable detection, although only nearshore for A. dieffenbachii. These findings highlight the importance of sampling method and location when designing eDNA surveys for fish in lakes, with broader relevance across eDNA applications, including single-species detection and metabarcoding.","publicationDate":"2026-01-01","doi":"10.3897/mbmg.10.185622","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.10.185622","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["NZ"],"source_details":{"id":74,"name":"Metabarcoding and Metagenomics","slug":"metabarcoding-and-metagenomics","issn_l":"2534-9708","openalex_id":"S4210182883","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210182883","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210182883","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://mbmg.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/74/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/metabarcoding-and-metagenomics/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-metabarcoding-and-metagenomics.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-metabarcoding-and-metagenomics.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Thomson-Laing","Georgia"],"keywords":["Droplet digital PCR"],"topics":["Environmental DNA in Biodiversity Studies","Identification and Quantification in Food","Reproductive biology and impacts on aquatic species"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W7164323727","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.10.185622","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W7164323727"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11996,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-50.0168,-29.03579]}]},"bbox":[-50.0168,-29.03579,-50.0168,-29.03579],"properties":{"title":"Soil microbial community composition in two distinct preserved habitats","type":"article","abstract":"This study investigates the taxonomic composition, richness and diversity of microbial and metazoan communities in two adjacent ecosystems — a preserved Native Forest and a Highland Grassland — within a well-conserved area of the Atlantic Forest located in the southernmost state of Brazil.

Metabarcoding, a widely adopted technique, suffers from primer bias: uneven amplification of species due to primer mismatches. Primer bias can be eliminated by sequencing all eDNA in a sample directly. This method, known as (PCR-free) metagenomics, offers potential benefits for relative abundance estimates, but is seldom applied to fish communities and eDNA.         This study used an expanded two-by-two design to compare fish species detection between multi-marker Oxford Nanopore Technologies’ (ONT) metabarcoding and ONT metagenomics (native sequencing) using two filter types (conventional versus coarse). Moreover, we explored methylation patterns obtained from ONT metagenomics. Environmental DNA was collected in a controlled setup and two field settings, one representing a capture-release scenario.         All species present in the controlled environment were detected by both metabarcoding and metagenomics. In field settings, metagenomics detected more species than metabarcoding. Coarse filters recovered more species across all sequencing datasets, except in metabarcoding of field settings. Relative read counts between metabarcoding and metagenomics illustrated that primer bias was present in the used primer sets. Most fish metagenomic sequences were identified as European sturgeon (Acipenser sturio) across all eDNA samples. We observed three base modifications on the 18S region of A. sturio, where three nucleotide positions showed different methylation patterns between eDNA samples.         Our results demonstrate that metabarcoding and metagenomics function complementarily in biodiversity estimates with metagenomics providing additional insights into base modifications. Furthermore, coarse filters offer strong potential for improved species detection in various environments.","publicationDate":"2026-01-01","doi":"10.3897/mbmg.10.182039","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.10.182039","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["NL"],"source_details":{"id":74,"name":"Metabarcoding and Metagenomics","slug":"metabarcoding-and-metagenomics","issn_l":"2534-9708","openalex_id":"S4210182883","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210182883","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210182883","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://mbmg.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/74/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/metabarcoding-and-metagenomics/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-metabarcoding-and-metagenomics.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-metabarcoding-and-metagenomics.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["van Berkel","Daniël"],"keywords":["Epigenetic patterns"],"topics":["Environmental DNA in Biodiversity Studies","Genomics and Phylogenetic Studies","Identification and Quantification in Food"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W7161539457","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.10.182039","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W7161539457"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11986,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[2.98444,45.66389]}]},"bbox":[2.98444,45.66389,2.98444,45.66389],"properties":{"title":"Profiling the eukaryotic diversity over a year in a lake ecosystem through short- and long-read metabarcoding","type":"article","abstract":"Microbial eukaryotes play a vital role in biogeochemical cycles and aquatic food webs.

Our metabarcoding analysis revealed a high degree of congruence between long-read and short-read data at broad taxonomic levels.

This enhanced taxonomic resolution proved especially valuable for tracking seasonal dynamics within key groups, including ciliates and chytrid fungi. The resolution offered by long-read sequencing provides a more detailed picture of the microbial eukaryotic community, thereby facilitating the exploration of ecological interactions at a finer scale. For example, this approach allowed us to monitor the dynamics of the chytrid genus Zygorhizidium in relation to various diatom genera, which are primary targets for chytrid parasitism.","publicationDate":"2026-01-01","doi":"10.3897/mbmg.10.184566","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.10.184566","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["FR"],"source_details":{"id":74,"name":"Metabarcoding and Metagenomics","slug":"metabarcoding-and-metagenomics","issn_l":"2534-9708","openalex_id":"S4210182883","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210182883","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210182883","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://mbmg.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/74/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/metabarcoding-and-metagenomics/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-metabarcoding-and-metagenomics.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-metabarcoding-and-metagenomics.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Chauvet","Marina"],"keywords":["Long-read sequencing"],"topics":["Protist diversity and phylogeny","Environmental DNA in Biodiversity Studies","Diatoms and Algae Research"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W7155533997","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.10.184566","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W7155533997"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11981,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-70.09622,-12.56111]}]},"bbox":[-70.09622,-12.56111,-70.09622,-12.56111],"properties":{"title":"An efficient iDNA method for surveying rainforest mammals with carrion flies","type":"article","abstract":"Metabarcoding of vertebrate DNA derived from invertebrates (iDNA) is a promising method for monitoring of mammal assemblages.

However, the methodological performance of different DNA extraction strategies remains insufficiently evaluated, especially for benthic meiofaunal communities. In this study, we compared two extraction strategies—community DNA (ComDNA) from isolated benthic metazoans and sedimentary environmental DNA (SedDNA) from whole sediment—to assess benthic metazoan diversity in the Clarion-Clipperton Fracture Zone (CCZ), an area targeted for future polymetallic nodule mining. Using the 18S V1–V2 rRNA marker, we analyzed alpha and beta diversity, taxonomic composition, and the number of metazoan operational taxonomic units (OTUs) recovered by each strategy. ComDNA extractions yielded substantially higher benthic metazoan OTU richness (2,145 OTUs) than SedDNA (392 OTUs), with only 1.2% of OTUs shared between them. Community composition also differed significantly, driven by strategy-specific detection biases. To evaluate the effectiveness of SedDNA for biodiversity monitoring, we modeled the sediment volume required to recover OTU richness comparable to ComDNA samples. Depending on sequencing depth and statistical approach, we estimated that the processing of 27–82 mL of sediment is necessary to match ComDNA-derived richness. Our findings underscore the superior taxonomic resolution of ComDNA extractions but also highlight the potential of optimized SedDNA protocols for scalable biodiversity monitoring. We recommend sediment homogenization, increased sample volume, and a higher sequencing depth of at least 100,000 reads per sample for improving SedDNA-based assessments, particularly in heterogeneous deep-sea environments. These results provide critical methodological guidance for the development of standardized, efficient monitoring strategies in the context of deep-sea mining impact assessments.","publicationDate":"2026-01-01","doi":"10.3897/mbmg.10.173793","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.10.173793","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":[],"source_details":{"id":74,"name":"Metabarcoding and Metagenomics","slug":"metabarcoding-and-metagenomics","issn_l":"2534-9708","openalex_id":"S4210182883","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210182883","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210182883","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://mbmg.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/74/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/metabarcoding-and-metagenomics/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-metabarcoding-and-metagenomics.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-metabarcoding-and-metagenomics.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Damm","Lukas"],"keywords":["Benthic metazoan"],"topics":["Environmental DNA in Biodiversity Studies","Marine Biology and Ecology Research","Protist diversity and phylogeny"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W7130551841","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.10.173793","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W7130551841"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11972,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[12.60299,55.76386]}]},"bbox":[12.60299,55.76386,12.60299,55.76386],"properties":{"title":"Filter pore size influences taxonomic composition of retained eDNA from seawater samples—evidence from shotgun sequencing","type":"article","abstract":"Environmental DNA (eDNA) is increasingly used in aquatic research and applied biodiversity monitoring, mainly through a metabarcoding approach. This allows detailed analyses of specific taxa of interest but involves amplification by PCR, which can lead to significant taxonomic bias. On the other hand, broad tree-of-life approaches such as shotgun sequencing are easily dominated by prokaryotic DNA, failing to detect less abundant taxa such as metazoans. However, the proportion of eukaryotic DNA could potentially be increased through water filtration with larger pore sizes. In this study, we investigate how filter pore size influences the taxonomic composition of retained aquatic eDNA. We conducted high-throughput shotgun sequencing and 18S rDNA metabarcoding on 15 seawater eDNA samples collected at the same locality but filtered with different pore sizes spanning from 0.2 to 8.0 µm. We could assign only 0.78% of the total shotgun reads to the superkingdom level, but smaller pore sizes (0.2 and 1.2 μm) yielded significantly higher proportions of bacterial reads compared to eukaryotic reads (63 vs. 28%), while larger pore sizes (5.0 and 8.0 μm) yielded significantly higher proportions of eukaryotic reads compared to bacterial reads (49 vs. 31%). Of the 19 metazoan phyla detected with shotgun sequencing, all but one were more abundant in larger pore sizes. Most of the eukaryotic phyla detected (39 of 54) were shared between shotgun and metabarcoding analyses, indicating similar performance of the methods regarding presence/absence estimation at high taxonomic levels. Finally, we compared the reliability of genus-level detections between the two methods for selected groups of metazoans to evaluate the potential of shotgun sequencing for biomonitoring. Our study suggests that the prokaryotic dominance in shotgun sequencing data from aquatic eDNA can be reduced by increasing filter pore size. As reference databases expand, the taxonomic coverage and resolution of shotgun sequencing should improve, likely enhancing the potential of shotgun sequencing for future eDNA research.","publicationDate":"2026-01-01","doi":"10.3897/mbmg.10.164232","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.10.164232","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["DK"],"source_details":{"id":74,"name":"Metabarcoding and Metagenomics","slug":"metabarcoding-and-metagenomics","issn_l":"2534-9708","openalex_id":"S4210182883","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210182883","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210182883","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://mbmg.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/74/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/metabarcoding-and-metagenomics/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-metabarcoding-and-metagenomics.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-metabarcoding-and-metagenomics.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Gómez Repollés","Adrián"],"keywords":["Biodiversity"],"topics":["Environmental DNA in Biodiversity Studies","Genomics and Phylogenetic Studies","Protist diversity and phylogeny"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W7130329397","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.10.164232","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W7130329397"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11964,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[24.80456,42.13761]}]},"bbox":[24.80456,42.13761,24.80456,42.13761],"properties":{"title":"Barley Rhizosphere Bacteriome Dynamics under Organic and Mineral Inputs: The importance of intercropping predecessor","type":"article","abstract":"Integrating intercropping with green manure within crop rotation offers a sustainable pathway to enhance soil microbial diversity and overall agroecosystem health. This study evaluated the effects of diverse fertilisation practices on the soil microbiome in a barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) cropping system following the incorporation of an oat-vetch (Avena sativa and Vicia sativa) and green manure incorporation versus single cropping of oats. The field experiment took place at the Agricultural University of Plovdiv, Bulgaria. Using high-throughput metagenomic sequencing, we assessed the structure and functions of the soil microbial community. The fertilisation treatments included mineral fertiliser, vermicompost, a combination of vermicompost and mineral fertiliser, and biochar, along with a non-fertilised control. The investigation compared two preceding cropping systems before barley cultivation: an oat-vetch intercrop used as green manure, incorporated into the soil at the ripening stage, and a conventional approach where barley was sown directly without prior green manuring. All treatments were conducted in triplicate. Sequencing allows for detailed taxonomic and functional profiling. The most abundant bacterial phyla identified were Actinobacteriota, Proteobacteria, and Bacteroidota, with Actinobacteriota showing increased abundance under fertilised conditions. Soils treated with compost and compost-mineral mixtures exhibited notably higher alpha diversity. Beta diversity analyses (PCA, PCoA, UPGMA) revealed clear differences in microbial community structure among the treatments. Certain genera, such as Sphingomonas, Noviherspirillum, and Agromyces, were particularly enriched in soils receiving vermicompost or green manure. Their presence suggests enhanced microbial functionality and nutrient cycling in those plots. Overall, the combination of green manure and organic inputs supported more diverse and functionally active microbial communities, contributing to the resilience and sustainability of barley-based cropping systems. This study focuses on the bacterial component of the soil microbiome; nutrient cycling and soil health are governed by the combined interactions among bacteria, fungi, and protozoa.","publicationDate":"2025-01-01","doi":"10.3897/mbmg.9.167231","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.9.167231","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["BG"],"source_details":{"id":74,"name":"Metabarcoding and Metagenomics","slug":"metabarcoding-and-metagenomics","issn_l":"2534-9708","openalex_id":"S4210182883","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210182883","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210182883","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://mbmg.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/74/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/metabarcoding-and-metagenomics/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-metabarcoding-and-metagenomics.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-metabarcoding-and-metagenomics.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Shilev","Stefan"],"keywords":["Barley"],"topics":["Agronomic Practices and Intercropping Systems","Soil Carbon and Nitrogen Dynamics","Plant-Microbe Interactions and Immunity"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4416332549","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.9.167231","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4416332549"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11962,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-61.015,14.65]}]},"bbox":[-61.015,14.65,-61.015,14.65],"properties":{"title":"Metabarcoding outperforms traditional electrofishing in decapod and fish inventories, paving the way for enhanced biodiversity monitoring in the Caribbean","type":"article","abstract":"Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding revolutionized the biodiversity monitoring in aquatic ecosystems, giving access to taxonomic lists in a non-disruptive way. Although the method has limits, such as reduced taxonomic resolution for certain groups and difficulties in estimating species abundance, it has proven its effectiveness in many contexts. In Martinique, a Caribbean island, traditional methods like electrofishing (TEF) are known to be stressful for organisms, non-selective and disruptive for the ecosystem, and have been progressively abandoned for routine monitoring. The aim of this project was to explore the possibility of using the eDNA-based metabarcoding method for the detection of fish and decapods in Martinique streams, by first validating it with TEF. We selected 14 stations, a representative panel of the river diversity, and performed TEF and eDNA-based monitoring to compare both, based on the species richness. Then, from eDNA taxonomic inventories, we assessed the ecological state of the studied stations, using Simpson index and investigated how stations abiotic characteristics shape assemblages. Here, we confirmed the eDNA metabarcoding method is a reliable tool for monitoring fish and decapods, confirming most of the taxa caught by TEF and revealing the presence of additional (native and/or invasive) species. We faced some issues in discriminating some genetically close species (e.g. Sicydium sp.) potentially leading to under-representation in community assemblages, but not in functional diversity. Additional efforts are needed to raise standardized protocols, but we encourage stakeholders to join such an initiative to shed light on the rich biodiversity in sometimes poorly studied regions and to face invasions.","publicationDate":"2025-01-01","doi":"10.3897/mbmg.9.151675","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.9.151675","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["FR"],"source_details":{"id":74,"name":"Metabarcoding and Metagenomics","slug":"metabarcoding-and-metagenomics","issn_l":"2534-9708","openalex_id":"S4210182883","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210182883","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210182883","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://mbmg.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/74/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/metabarcoding-and-metagenomics/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-metabarcoding-and-metagenomics.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-metabarcoding-and-metagenomics.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Baudry","Thomas"],"keywords":["biodiversity hotspot"],"topics":["Environmental DNA in Biodiversity Studies","Identification and Quantification in Food","Genomics and Phylogenetic Studies"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4415814985","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.9.151675","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4415814985"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11960,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[23.75,-36.63]}]},"bbox":[23.75,-36.63,23.75,-36.63],"properties":{"title":"The design and testing of taxon-specific mini-barcode markers for metabarcoding of marine zooplankton","type":"article","abstract":"DNA metabarcoding of zooplankton samples is well suited to surveys of marine pelagic ecosystems; however, consistent amplification across zooplankton groups cannot be assumed when using “universal” miniCOI primers.

In silico analyses of downloaded sequences per group identified the most informative mini-barcode region, and barcode gap analyses confirmed that the selected regions could distinguish among species within each group. In vitro analyses of DNA extracts from individual specimens per group showed that the new mini-barcode primers outperformed the standard and universal miniCOI primers by consistently recovering higher Phred quality scores. Metabarcoding of four in situ mixed zooplankton samples collected with plankton tow nets and processed with a combination of taxon-specific and universal primers identified 220 species. Use of the primer cocktails increased the proportionate representation of the target groups by three- to five-fold compared to a previous study.

There is also a need for less invasive sampling methods to facilitate adoption of hive eNA surveillance at scale. The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of using non-invasive swabbing of hive entrances with common sample types collected from honeybee hives (honey, pollen, and bees) for eNA detection of various taxa. Using a DNA metabarcoding approach for bacteria (16S), animal (COI), fungi (ITS1), and plant (ITS2) identification, and metatranscriptomic sequencing for virus detection, swabbing was found to provide comparable or better detection of taxa compared with more invasive sampling methods. Swabs were most informative for identifying bacterial and fungal communities, while plant detections were similar between swabs and honey samples. Detection of RNA viral diversity was highest in honey samples, however, swabs also showed good recovery of plant and insect viruses. A minimum of two swab replicates was recommended to increase taxa yield for DNA metabarcoding.

However, the captured eDNA may not necessarily originate only from organisms physically present at a local site but also come via drift from sources upstream. Therefore, data on community composition can be inherently different to specimens occurring at a certain site, limiting direct comparisons to site-based assessment data. To increase the local signal, two possible ways were recently proposed: First, targeting eRNA collected from water samples, which degrades faster than eDNA, and second, using eDNA from water, in which organisms from the stream were shortly incubated in a water container. Based on these two options, we here derived and tested three strategies to obtain a more localized signal of biodiversity: 1. eRNA metabarcoding of a direct stream water sample, 2. eDNA and eRNA metabarcoding of water, in which animals collected via kicknet multi-habitat sampling were shortly incubated, and 3. eDNA and eRNA metabarcoding of water, in which natural substrate exposures (NSEs) that were actively colonised by invertebrates in the stream for four weeks were shortly incubated. For comparison, we used eDNA directly isolated from the stream as the more regional signal. As the local point-based sample reference, we used the animal bulk sample that was incubated. While our results support that eRNA collected from the stream (strategy 1) does not improve the local signal, both incubation strategies increased the proportion of species identified by both metabarcoding of eDNA/eRNA and the locally collected bulk sample by about 20%. Interestingly, we detected 20% more species in the NSEs (strategy 3) than in the kicknet samples (strategy 2), highlighting the potential of this less invasive invertebrate sampling approach. In summary, our study demonstrates that incubating collected animals in stream water before filtering the water increases the local community signal and provides an animal-friendly strategy for biomonitoring.","publicationDate":"2025-01-01","doi":"10.3897/mbmg.9.148923","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.9.148923","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["DE"],"source_details":{"id":74,"name":"Metabarcoding and Metagenomics","slug":"metabarcoding-and-metagenomics","issn_l":"2534-9708","openalex_id":"S4210182883","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210182883","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210182883","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://mbmg.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/74/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/metabarcoding-and-metagenomics/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-metabarcoding-and-metagenomics.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-metabarcoding-and-metagenomics.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Sander","Mandy"],"keywords":["eDNA"],"topics":["Environmental DNA in Biodiversity Studies","Microbial Community Ecology and Physiology","Identification and Quantification in Food"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4413792557","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.9.148923","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4413792557"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11951,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[20.1379,49.1764]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[20.1288,49.1772]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[20.1177,49.1782]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[20.0353,49.1702]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[20.011,49.1702]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[20.0355,49.1679]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[20.0435,49.1638]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[20.045,49.1547]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[20.0608,49.1225]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[20.1608,49.1834]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[20.1536,49.1817]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[20.167,49.1804]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[20.1586,49.1786]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[20.1722,49.1744]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[20.1771,49.1743]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[20.027,49.1635]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[20.0368,49.1896]}]},"bbox":[20.011,49.1225,20.1771,49.1896],"properties":{"title":"Gradient patterns in the Tatra Mountain lakes revisited with invertebrate DNA metabarcoding","type":"article","abstract":"Monitoring changes in freshwater fauna requires timely, efficient, and comprehensive data collection, needs that are increasingly met by molecular methods. This is especially important in remote regions along environmental gradients, such as the Tatra Mountain lakes in Slovakia. In this study, DNA metabarcoding was applied to littoral benthic invertebrates collected from lakes in three valleys, spanning a gradient from the subalpine to alpine zones. Ordination analyses grouped the lakes based on community composition, and these groups were evaluated in relation to altitude, physico-chemical properties, indicator species, and previous data.     To assess their additional value, surface sediment samples from the littoral zone were also analyzed using metabarcoding. The results revealed two distinct lake groups, primarily differentiated by altitude, alkalinity, and other correlated environmental parameters. The placement of specific lakes within these groups corresponded with known patterns of recovery from acidification, catchment characteristics, and potentially climate change or lake connectivity.     Metabarcoding-based indicator species analysis successfully identified even taxa that had been previously overlooked or misidentified in morphology-based studies. While sediment metabarcoding provided limited supplementary information, its ordination patterns aligned with those from invertebrate analyses.     Overall, our study of an alpine lake system supports broader trends: species richness declines with increasing elevation; community composition reflects environmental gradients; and DNA metabarcoding offers high taxonomic resolution and valuable insights into freshwater invertebrate biodiversity.","publicationDate":"2025-01-01","doi":"10.3897/mbmg.9.150825","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.9.150825","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["PL","SK"],"source_details":{"id":74,"name":"Metabarcoding and Metagenomics","slug":"metabarcoding-and-metagenomics","issn_l":"2534-9708","openalex_id":"S4210182883","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210182883","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210182883","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://mbmg.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/74/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/metabarcoding-and-metagenomics/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-metabarcoding-and-metagenomics.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-metabarcoding-and-metagenomics.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Vargovčík","Ondrej"],"keywords":["Alpine indicators"],"topics":["Environmental DNA in Biodiversity Studies","Protist diversity and phylogeny","Identification and Quantification in Food"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4412788118","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.9.150825","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4412788118"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11948,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[99.96581,8.42725]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[99.96822,8.41844]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[99.90197,8.44478]}]},"bbox":[99.90197,8.41844,99.96822,8.44478],"properties":{"title":"Microalgae diversity in Aedes aegypti larvae guts and breeding sites in Nakhon Si Thammarat, Thailand revealed by light microscopy and metabarcoding","type":"article","abstract":"Aedes aegypti poses a significant threat by transmitting diseases like dengue, chikungunya and Zika, leading to high morbidity and mortality worldwide. In recent years, the role of microalgae in mosquito larvicidal activity has gained attention due to their role as a key mosquito nutritional resource. Understanding microalgal communities in water from breeding sites and Ae. aegypti larval guts might be beneficial for implementing mosquito control strategies. The purpose of this work was to investigate the diversity of microalgae in the guts and breeding sites of Ae. aegypti larvae in Nakhon Si Thammarat, Thailand, using light microscopy and metabarcoding. Results showed a total of 27 algal genera from this study. Ten genera were identified using light microscopy and an additional 21 genera were identified through 23S metabarcoding. Four genera, Tetradesmus, Nannochloropsis, Monoraphidium and Leptolyngbya, were detected by both approaches. Two genera, Tetradesmus and Leptolyngbya, were present in all guts and water samples. Spearman’s correlation analysis, alpha diversity and beta diversity demonstrated a high degree of compositional similarity between gut samples and water samples collected from breeding sites. The results indicated that Ae. aegypti larvae could consume nearly all the microalgae in their breeding habitat. Information provided in this study would help choose microalgae that could potentially be a biocontrol agent for further development of eco-friendly products for the future management of mosquito larvae.","publicationDate":"2025-01-01","doi":"10.3897/mbmg.9.152948","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.9.152948","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["TH"],"source_details":{"id":74,"name":"Metabarcoding and Metagenomics","slug":"metabarcoding-and-metagenomics","issn_l":"2534-9708","openalex_id":"S4210182883","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210182883","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210182883","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://mbmg.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/74/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/metabarcoding-and-metagenomics/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-metabarcoding-and-metagenomics.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-metabarcoding-and-metagenomics.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Promprao","Jeerisuda"],"keywords":["Aedes aegypti"],"topics":["Algal biology and biofuel production","Insect and Arachnid Ecology and Behavior","Microbial Community Ecology and Physiology"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4412477359","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.9.152948","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4412477359"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11941,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[140.1395,35.5984]}]},"bbox":[140.1395,35.5984,140.1395,35.5984],"properties":{"title":"Influence of homogenization methods on lichen species detection from environmental DNA metabarcoding","type":"article","abstract":"Environmental DNA (eDNA) techniques are increasingly employed in biodiversity monitoring of aquatic and terrestrial animals, plants, and fungi, holding great potential to revolutionize biodiversity assessments.

We previously developed a simple and efficient method for capturing arboreal biodiversity using stemflow as a source of eDNA; however, its performance with or without homogenization had not yet been compared. In this study, we evaluated the performance of two different homogenization methods using eDNA metabarcoding and qPCR assays. Metabarcoding analyses revealed that the method without homogenization detected the fewest species, while nearly identical and higher numbers of species were detected in samples subjected to bead-beating and frozen bead-beating homogenization. Similarly, qPCR analyses revealed that the method without homogenization yielded the lowest DNA concentration, while nearly identical and higher DNA yields were observed for bead-beating and frozen bead-beating homogenization. These findings suggest that, considering cost and effort, the bead-beating method without freezing is the most advantageous.","publicationDate":"2025-01-01","doi":"10.3897/mbmg.9.144340","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.9.144340","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["JP"],"source_details":{"id":74,"name":"Metabarcoding and Metagenomics","slug":"metabarcoding-and-metagenomics","issn_l":"2534-9708","openalex_id":"S4210182883","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210182883","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210182883","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://mbmg.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/74/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/metabarcoding-and-metagenomics/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-metabarcoding-and-metagenomics.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-metabarcoding-and-metagenomics.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Sakata","Ayumi"],"keywords":["eDNA"],"topics":["Environmental DNA in Biodiversity Studies","Microbial Community Ecology and Physiology","Lichen and fungal ecology"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4408939346","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.9.144340","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4408939346"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11936,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[6.45378,46.36805]}]},"bbox":[6.45378,46.36805,6.45378,46.36805],"properties":{"title":"Proficiency testing and cross-laboratory method comparison to support standardisation of diatom DNA metabarcoding for freshwater biomonitoring","type":"article","abstract":"DNA metabarcoding of benthic diatoms has been successfully applied for biomonitoring at the national scale and can now be considered technically ready for routine application. However, protocols and methods still vary between and within countries, limiting their transferability and the comparability of results. In order to overcome this, routine use of DNA metabarcoding for diatom biomonitoring requires knowledge of the sources of variability introduced by the different steps of the procedure. Here, we examine how elements of routine procedures contribute to variability between European laboratories. A set of four experiments were performed focusing on DNA extraction and PCR amplification steps to evaluate their reproducibility between different laboratories and the variability introduced by different protocols currently applied by the scientific community. Under the guidance of a reference laboratory, 17 participants from 14 countries performed DNA extraction and PCR amplification in parallel, using the same fixed protocol and their own choice of protocol. Experiments were performed by each participant on a set of standardised DNA and biofilm samples (river, lake and mock community) to investigate potential systematic and random errors. Our results revealed the successful transferability of a protocol amongst labs and a highly similar and consistent ecological assessment outcome obtained regardless of the protocols used by each participant. We propose an “all for one but prove them all” strategy, suggesting that distinct protocols can be used within the scientific community, as long as their consistency is be proven by following minimum standard requirements.","publicationDate":"2025-01-01","doi":"10.3897/mbmg.9.133264","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.9.133264","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["FR"],"source_details":{"id":74,"name":"Metabarcoding and Metagenomics","slug":"metabarcoding-and-metagenomics","issn_l":"2534-9708","openalex_id":"S4210182883","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210182883","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210182883","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://mbmg.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/74/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/metabarcoding-and-metagenomics/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-metabarcoding-and-metagenomics.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-metabarcoding-and-metagenomics.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Vasselon","Valentin"],"keywords":["Cross-laboratory experiment"],"topics":["Environmental DNA in Biodiversity Studies","Microbial Community Ecology and Physiology","Protist diversity and phylogeny"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4406242624","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.9.133264","pmid":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40213263","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4406242624"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11928,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[31.345,-24.57083]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[29.68194,-23.84357]}]},"bbox":[29.68194,-24.57083,31.345,-23.84357],"properties":{"title":"Application of a dual-locus metabarcoding approach for a more comprehensive account of cattle dietary items in a semi-arid African savanna with special reference to forbs","type":"article","abstract":"Increasing livestock densities and more severe drought events challenge sustainable management in South Africa’s semi-arid savannas. Effective mitigation strategies require accurate assessments of livestock foraging behaviour. By utilising high-throughput sequencing technology, this study evaluated the use of a dual-locus metabarcoding approach (trnL and rbcL) together with study-area-specific reference libraries, to analyse cattle diets in two bioregions of the eastern semi-arid South African savanna. Both markers demonstrated the ability to identify various plant families, but trnL exhibited a higher diversity in terms of family and genus identification at both sampling sites. Forbs, although comprising a diverse component of savanna plant communities, have relatively small above-ground biomass, but can still serve as crucial forage items, especially during dry periods. Our study underscores the significant role of forbs in cattle diets, demonstrating a shift in cattle foraging preferences from grass-based diets to higher inclusions of forbs and woody taxa during the drier season. Although grasses, such as Setaria, were still prevalent, forbs, belonging to the genera Malvastrum, Asparagus, Pollichia and Ipomoea were also important food items for cattle as well as woody taxa belonging to Fabaceae, Combretaceae, Ebenaceae, and Malvaceae with a selection of food items from trees and shrubs from genera Albizia, Combretum, Euclea and Vachellia. Furthermore, our study highlights the value of a dual-locus metabarcoding approach for understanding herbivorous diets. Using trnL and rbcL markers, with study-area-specific reference libraries, improves taxonomic resolution for accurately reconstructing cattle diets in semi-arid savannas.

The combination of autonomous samplers and high throughput sequencing (i.e., “metabarcoding”) of environmental DNA (eDNA) samples enables characterization of entire communities at high frequency and can be an important tool for conservation and management, allowing researchers to track fluctuations in biodiversity. We deployed two autonomous samplers at two U.S. Geological Survey streamgage sites in the upper Snake River (Wyoming and Idaho, USA) to collect eDNA samples from July-September 2021 and 2022 to characterize fish diversity. We used a probabilistic approach to evaluate the effects of water temperature, water discharge, filter pore size, water volume filtered, number of samples collected, timing, and primers on the probability of detecting eDNA from fish species known to be present. We detected eDNA from 13/15 species present in these areas of the Snake River. Overall, we did not find evidence that filter pore size, water volume filtered, water discharge, and water temperature affected the probability of detecting fish species’ eDNA. By contrast, primers and sampling day affected fish detection probabilities, indicating that primer choice and sampling day can either over- or under- estimate species diversity. These results indicate that users would ideally consider sampling on non-consecutive days and which primer set will maximize species detections.","publicationDate":"2024-01-01","doi":"10.3897/mbmg.8.122375","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.8.122375","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["US"],"source_details":{"id":74,"name":"Metabarcoding and Metagenomics","slug":"metabarcoding-and-metagenomics","issn_l":"2534-9708","openalex_id":"S4210182883","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210182883","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210182883","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://mbmg.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/74/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/metabarcoding-and-metagenomics/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-metabarcoding-and-metagenomics.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-metabarcoding-and-metagenomics.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Jones","Devin"],"keywords":["Autonomous samplers"],"topics":["Environmental DNA in Biodiversity Studies","Identification and Quantification in Food","Microbial Community Ecology and Physiology"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4402512607","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.8.122375","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4402512607"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11919,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[12.44,54.39]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[12.39,54.35]}]},"bbox":[12.39,54.35,12.44,54.39],"properties":{"title":"Impact of a coastal protection measure on sandy-beach meiofauna at Ahrenshoop (Baltic Sea, Germany): results from metabarcoding and morphological approaches are similar","type":"article","abstract":"Sand nourishment is a common and often applied coastal protection measure along the beaches of the German Baltic Sea coast.

Meiofaunal communities at the beach-water interface were monitored at six stations before (September 2021) and for one year after the impact (March and September 2022, March 2023). To assess the effects of sand nourishment on meiofauna communities, two complementary approaches were employed: whole community metabarcoding and morphological determination and counting of the animals. Both methods produced consistent results regarding community response to disturbance and subsequent recovery. During the period from autumn 2021 to spring 2023, drastic changes in the composition of communities were observed. Directly after the impact, the taxa Acari and Annelida nearly disappeared, abundances of Copepoda decreased substantially, and Platyhelminthes increased notably. The fact that the studied beach held a low diversity may have facilitated that metabarcoding and morphological determination followed the same trend.

Traditional paleolimnological approaches have been used to study historic species changes, but until recently these have been restricted to taxa with preservable body-parts. To explore the ecosystem effects of Salmo trutta (brown trout) introduction on an oligotrophic lake in Aotearoa-New Zealand, we used a multi-marker sedimentary environmental DNA (sedDNA) approach coupled with pigments to detect changes across multiple trophic levels. DNA was extracted from core depths capturing approximately 100 years before and after the expected arrival of S. trutta, and metabarcoding was undertaken with four primer sets targeting the 12S rRNA (fish), 18S rRNA (eukaryotes) and cytochrome c oxidase (COI; eukaryotes) genes. The earliest detection of S. trutta eDNA was 1906 (1892–1919 CE with 95% high probability density function) suggesting their introduction was shortly before this. Native fish diversity (12S and 18S rRNA) decreased after the detection of S. trutta, albeit the data was patchy. A shift in overall eukaryotic and algal communities (18S rRNA and COI) was observed around 1856 (1841–1871 CE) to 1891 (1877–1904 CE), which aligns with the expected S. trutta introduction. However, taxonomy could not be assigned to many of the 18S rRNA and COI sequences. Pigment concentrations did not change markedly after S. trutta introduction. SedDNA provides a new tool for understanding the impact of disturbances such as the introduction of non-native species; however, there are still several methodological challenges to overcome.","publicationDate":"2023-01-01","doi":"10.3897/mbmg.7.111467","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.7.111467","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["NZ"],"source_details":{"id":74,"name":"Metabarcoding and Metagenomics","slug":"metabarcoding-and-metagenomics","issn_l":"2534-9708","openalex_id":"S4210182883","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210182883","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210182883","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://mbmg.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/74/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/metabarcoding-and-metagenomics/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-metabarcoding-and-metagenomics.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-metabarcoding-and-metagenomics.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Schallenberg","Lena"],"keywords":["brown trout"],"topics":["Environmental DNA in Biodiversity Studies","Microbial Community Ecology and Physiology","Protist diversity and phylogeny"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4389433353","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.7.111467","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4389433353"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11904,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-58.68173,-62.24594]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-58.67756,-62.24087]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-58.66223,-62.23788]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-58.65769,-62.23809]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-58.68193,-62.24181]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-58.66462,-62.23466]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-58.65649,-62.23531]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-58.65836,-62.23577]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-58.66337,-62.22922]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-58.6527,-62.25194]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-58.66225,-62.23786]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-58.64703,-62.23664]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-58.67957,-62.23735]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-58.68005,-62.24726]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-58.66753,-62.23746]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-58.71228,-62.23791]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-58.62562,-62.25639]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-58.62607,-62.2563]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-58.64217,-62.25823]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-58.65946,-62.25205]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-58.6597,-62.25611]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-58.67503,-62.25054]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-58.68376,-62.24707]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-58.67578,-62.2507]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-58.66358,-62.23695]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-58.63058,-62.25611]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-58.64168,-62.25662]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-58.67873,-62.22763]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-58.64264,-62.2238]}]},"bbox":[-58.71228,-62.25823,-58.62562,-62.2238],"properties":{"title":"Exploring benthic diatom diversity in the West Antarctic Peninsula: insights from a morphological and molecular approach","type":"article","abstract":"Polar regions are among the most extreme habitats on Earth.

In addition, a taxonomically validated reference library for Antarctic benthic diatoms was established with comprehensive information on habitat, morphology and DNA barcodes (rbcL and 18SV4). Benthic samples from marine, brackish and freshwater habitats were taken at the Antarctic Peninsula. A total of 162 clonal cultures were established, resulting in the identification of 60 taxa. The combination of total morphological richness of 174 taxa, including the clones, with an additional 73 taxa just assigned by metabarcoding resulted in 247 infrageneric taxa. Of those taxa, 33 were retrieved by all three methods and 111 only by morphology. The barcode reference library of Antarctic species with the new references obtained through culturing allowed the assignment of 47 taxa in the metabarcoding analyses, which would have been left unassigned because no matching reference sequences were available before. Non–metric multidimensional scaling analyses of morphological as well as molecular data showed a clear separation of diatom communities according to water and substratum types. Many species, especially marine taxa, still have no record in reference databases. This highlights the need for a more comprehensive reference library to further improve routine diatom metabarcoding.

However, the application of shotgun metagenomics in R. sanguineus s.l. ticks in Latin America remains largely unexplored. Therefore, our objective aimed to explore and further analyze the metagenome of the tropical lineage of R. sanguineus s.l. ticks in Colombia. Through our analysis, we identified the three most prevalent pathogens harbored by these ticks, namely: Anaplasma phagocytophilum, Francisella tularensis, and Theileria equi. However, the most abundant microorganism detected was not a pathogen but the endosymbiont Coxiella mudrowiae. Interestingly, Coxiella mudrowiae exhibited significant negative correlations with several pathogens and other endosymbionts. Furthermore, we successfully constructed 27 medium-quality metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) for this microorganism, enabling us to conduct a pangenome analysis by comparing them with available genomes and identifying proteins of interest, such as those involved in vitamin B synthesis. This study represents the first implementation of shotgun metagenomics as a methodology to expand our understanding of pathogens and endosymbionts in the circulating tropical lineage of R. sanguineus s.l. ticks in Colombia. The findings of this research serve as a foundation for the development of prevention and mitigation strategies against pathogens transmitted by this tick species.

We compared the eDNA-based taxonomic composition to the known faunal composition within the Rioni River and found that the eDNA-based taxonomic coverage approached 75% of the expected total fish fauna. A number of new species occurrences were also found, including the first detection of three invasive alien species (Carassius gibelio, Pseudorasbora parva, Rhinogobius lindbergi) in the Rionis River Basin and a new country record of the ninespine stickleback (genus Pungitius) for Georgia.

Studies of these communities have been entirely based on emergence traps which collect live organisms out of the nests. The analysis of nest contents and environmental DNA (eDNA) via metabarcoding could expand our knowledge and identify prey, exuviae, and other animal remains in bird nests. Here, we investigated the potential of arthropod remains, nest dust, and feathers to better describe arthropod diversity accumulated in 20 bird nests collected in Guelph (Canada). We used subsampling strategies and tested two extraction approaches to investigate the distribution of DNA in nests, account for low-quality DNA, and the presence of inhibitory substances. In total, 103 taxa were detected via metabarcoding. Arthropod remains delivered the highest number of taxa (n = 67), followed by nest dust (n = 29). Extractions with the PowerSoil kit outperformed DNeasy extractions coupled with PowerClean Pro inhibitor removal. Per nest, on average 5.5% taxonomic overlap between arthropod remains of different size classes was detected and subsamples of nest dust extracted with the PowerSoil kit showed 47.3% taxonomic overlap indicating a heterogeneous eDNA distribution in nests. Most detected species were either feeding in the nest, i.e., herbivorous / predatory, or bird food. We also detected molecular traces of 25 bird species, whose feathers were likely used as nest material. Consequently, the metabarcoding of bird nest materials provides a more complete picture of nest communities, which can enable future studies on functional diversity and better comparisons between nesting species.","publicationDate":"2023-01-01","doi":"10.3897/mbmg.7.103279","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.7.103279","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["CA"],"source_details":{"id":74,"name":"Metabarcoding and Metagenomics","slug":"metabarcoding-and-metagenomics","issn_l":"2534-9708","openalex_id":"S4210182883","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210182883","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210182883","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://mbmg.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/74/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/metabarcoding-and-metagenomics/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-metabarcoding-and-metagenomics.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-metabarcoding-and-metagenomics.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Levesque-Beaudin","Valerie"],"keywords":["Berlese-Tullgren funnel"],"topics":["Environmental DNA in Biodiversity Studies","Identification and Quantification in Food","Species Distribution and Climate Change"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4386458684","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.7.103279","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4386458684"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11895,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-21.55,74.46667]}]},"bbox":[-21.55,74.46667,-21.55,74.46667],"properties":{"title":"Ecological signals of arctic plant-microbe associations are consistent across eDNA and vegetation surveys","type":"article","abstract":"Understanding how different taxa respond to abiotic characteristics of the environment is of key interest for understanding the assembly of communities. Yet, whether eDNA data will suffice to accurately capture environmental imprints has been the topic of some debate. In this study, we characterised patterns of species occurrences and co-occurrences in Zackenberg in northeast Greenland using environmental DNA. To explore the potential for extracting ecological signals from eDNA data alone, we compared two approaches (visual vegetation surveys and soil eDNA metabarcoding) to describing plant communities and their responses to abiotic conditions. We then examined plant associations with microbes using a joint species distribution model. We found that most (68%) of plant genera were detectable by both vegetation surveys and eDNA signatures. Species-specific occurrence data revealed how plants, bacteria and fungi responded to their abiotic environment – with plants, bacteria and fungi all responding similarly to soil moisture. Nonetheless, a large proportion of fungi decreased in occurrences with increasing soil temperature. Regarding biotic associations, the nature and proportion of the plant-microbe associations detected were consistent between plant data identified via vegetation surveys and eDNA. Of pairs of plants and microbe genera showing statistically supported associations (while accounting for joint responses to the environment), plants and bacteria mainly showed negative associations, whereas plants and fungi mainly showed positive associations. Ample ecological signals detected by both vegetation surveys and by eDNA-based methods and a general correspondence in biotic associations inferred by both methods, suggested that purely eDNA-based approaches constitute a promising and easily applicable tool for studying plant-soil microbial associations in the Arctic and elsewhere.","publicationDate":"2023-01-01","doi":"10.3897/mbmg.7.99979","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.7.99979","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["GL"],"source_details":{"id":74,"name":"Metabarcoding and Metagenomics","slug":"metabarcoding-and-metagenomics","issn_l":"2534-9708","openalex_id":"S4210182883","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210182883","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210182883","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://mbmg.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/74/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/metabarcoding-and-metagenomics/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-metabarcoding-and-metagenomics.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-metabarcoding-and-metagenomics.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Parisy","Bastien"],"keywords":["eDNA metabarcoding"],"topics":["Environmental DNA in Biodiversity Studies","Forest Ecology and Biodiversity Studies","Microbial Community Ecology and Physiology"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4385708436","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.7.99979","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4385708436"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11893,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[25.96011,43.59324]}]},"bbox":[25.96011,43.59324,25.96011,43.59324],"properties":{"title":"DNA metabarcoding data from faecal samples of the lesser (Myotis blythii) and the greater (Myotis myotis) mouse-eared bats from Bulgaria","type":"article","abstract":"A comprehensive understanding of trophic interactions in terrestrial ecosystems is crucial for ecological research and conservation.

To address this, a new type of scholarly journal publication has emerged that aims to describe datasets rather than report research investigations. In this paper, we present a dataset of consumed prey species and parasites based on the metabarcoding of 113 faecal samples from the greater and lesser mouse-eared bats (Myotis myotis and Myotis blythii), along with a detailed description of the data sampling, laboratory analysis, and bioinformatics pipeline. Our dataset comprises 1018 unique Barcode Index Numbers (BINs) from 12 Classes and 43 Orders. In addition, we provide interactive Krona charts to visually summarize the taxonomic relationships and relative read abundance of the consumed prey species and parasites. This data can be used for meta-analysis, exploring new predator-prey and host-parasite interactions, studying inter- and intraspecific ecological interactions, and informing protected area management, among other applications. By sharing this dataset, we hope to encourage other researchers to use it to answer additional ecological questions and advance our understanding of trophic interactions in terrestrial ecosystems.","publicationDate":"2023-01-01","doi":"10.3897/mbmg.7.106844","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.7.106844","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["BG"],"source_details":{"id":74,"name":"Metabarcoding and Metagenomics","slug":"metabarcoding-and-metagenomics","issn_l":"2534-9708","openalex_id":"S4210182883","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210182883","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210182883","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://mbmg.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/74/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/metabarcoding-and-metagenomics/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-metabarcoding-and-metagenomics.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-metabarcoding-and-metagenomics.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Hubancheva","Antoniya"],"keywords":["Bats (Chiroptera)"],"topics":["Environmental DNA in Biodiversity Studies","Species Distribution and Climate Change","Identification and Quantification in Food"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4385248354","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.7.106844","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4385248354"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11892,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[7.96167,49.25389]}]},"bbox":[7.96167,49.25389,7.96167,49.25389],"properties":{"title":"Direct PCR meets high-throughput sequencing – metabarcoding of chironomid communities without DNA extraction","type":"article","abstract":"Aquatic emergent insect communities form an important link between aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, yet studying them is costly and time-consuming as they are usually diverse and superabundant. Metabarcoding is a valuable tool to investigate arthropod community compositions, however high-throughput applications, such as for biomonitoring, require cost-effective and user-friendly procedures. To investigate if the time-consuming and labour-intensive DNA extraction step can be omitted in metabarcoding, we studied the difference in detection rates and individual read abundance using standard DNA extraction versus direct PCR protocols. Metabarcoding with and without DNA extraction was performed with artificially created communities of known composition as well as on natural communities both of the dipteran family Chironomidae to compare detection rates, individual read abundances and presence-absence community composition. We found that the novel approach of direct PCR metabarcoding presented here did not alter detection rates and had a minor effect on individual read abundances in artificially created communities. Furthermore, presence-absence community compositions of natural chironomid communities were highly comparable using both approaches. In conclusion, we showed that direct PCR protocols can be applied in chironomid metabarcoding approaches, with possible application for a wider range of arthropod taxa, enabling us to study communities more efficiently in the future.","publicationDate":"2023-01-01","doi":"10.3897/mbmg.7.102455","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.7.102455","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["DE"],"source_details":{"id":74,"name":"Metabarcoding and Metagenomics","slug":"metabarcoding-and-metagenomics","issn_l":"2534-9708","openalex_id":"S4210182883","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210182883","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210182883","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://mbmg.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/74/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/metabarcoding-and-metagenomics/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-metabarcoding-and-metagenomics.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-metabarcoding-and-metagenomics.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Röder","Nina"],"keywords":["cytochrome c oxidase I (COI or COX1)"],"topics":["Environmental DNA in Biodiversity Studies","Protist diversity and phylogeny","Species Distribution and Climate Change"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4385239747","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.7.102455","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4385239747"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11891,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.59956,53.86008]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.63028,53.88206]}]},"bbox":[8.59956,53.86008,8.63028,53.88206],"properties":{"title":"Pollen metabarcoding of museum specimens and recently collected bumblebees (Bombus) indicates foraging shifts","type":"article","abstract":"Landscape changes, over time, lead to changes of floral resources available to pollinators, which in turn may result in the disappearance of ecologically specialized species.

As a non-invasive method for monitoring biodiversity, we developed two new sets of PCR primers for metabarcoding environmental DNA (eDNA) from brittle stars. The new primer sets were designed to amplify 2 short regions of the mitochondrial 16S rRNA gene, comprising a conserved region (111–115 bp, 112 bp on average; named “16SOph1”) and a hyper-variable region (180–195 bp, 185 bp on average; named “16SOph2”) displaying interspecific variation. The performance of the primers was tested using eDNA obtained from two sources: a) rearing water of an 2.5 or 170 L aquarium tanks containing 15 brittle star species and b) from natural seawater collected around Misaki, the Pacific coast of central Japan, at depths ranging from shallow (2 m) to deep (> 200 m) sea. To build a reference library, we obtained 16S rRNA sequences of brittle star specimens collected from around Misaki and from similar depths in Japan, and sequences registered in International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration. As a result of comparison of the obtained eDNA sequences with the reference library 37 (including cryptic species) and 26 brittle star species were detected with certain identities by 16SOph1 and 16SOph2 analyses, respectively. In shallow water, the number of species and reads other than the brittle stars detected with 16SOph1 was less than 10% of the total number. On the other hand, the number of brittle star species and reads detected with 16SOph2 was less than half of the total number, and the number of detected non-brittle star metazoan species ranged from 20 to 46 species across 6 to 8 phyla (only the reads at the “Tank” were less than 0.001%). The number of non-brittle star species and reads at 80 m was less than 10% with both of the primer sets. These findings suggest that 16SOph1 is specific to the brittle star and 16SOph2 is suitable for a variety of marine metazoans. It appears, however, that further optimization of primer sequences would still be necessary to avoid possible PCR dropouts from eDNA extracts. Moreover, a detailed elucidation of the brittle star fauna in the examined area, and the accurate identification of brittle star species in the current DNA databank is required.","publicationDate":"2023-01-01","doi":"10.3897/mbmg.7.94298","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.7.94298","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["JP"],"source_details":{"id":74,"name":"Metabarcoding and Metagenomics","slug":"metabarcoding-and-metagenomics","issn_l":"2534-9708","openalex_id":"S4210182883","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210182883","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210182883","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://mbmg.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/74/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/metabarcoding-and-metagenomics/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-metabarcoding-and-metagenomics.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-metabarcoding-and-metagenomics.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Okanishi","Masnaori"],"keywords":["16SOph1"],"topics":["Environmental DNA in Biodiversity Studies","Marine Ecology and Invasive Species","Microbial Community Ecology and Physiology"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4321641705","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.7.94298","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4321641705"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11883,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[13.66059,45.13253]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[0.73077,40.81671]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[6.72342,46.25575]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[0.51997,40.815]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[13.32039,52.43762]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[25.86889,65.16972]}]},"bbox":[0.51997,40.815,25.86889,65.16972],"properties":{"title":"Recommendations for the preservation of environmental samples in diatom metabarcoding studies","type":"article","abstract":"Implementation of DNA metabarcoding for diatoms for environmental monitoring is now moving from a research to an operational phase, requiring rigorous guidelines and standards.

The objective of this study was to compare three currently applied preservation protocols through different storage durations (ranging from one day to one year) for phytobenthos and phytoplankton samples intended for diatom DNA metabarcoding analysis. The experimental design used samples from four freshwater and two marine sites of diverse ecological characteristics. The impact of the sample preservation and storage duration was assessed through diatom metabarcoding endpoints: DNA quality and quantity, diversity and richness, diatom assemblage composition and ecological index values (for freshwater samples). The yield and quality of extracted DNA only decreased for freshwater phytobenthos samples preserved with ethanol. Diatom diversity was not affected and their taxonomic composition predominantly reflected the site origin. Only rare taxa (< 100 reads) differed among preservation methods and storage durations. For biomonitoring purposes, freshwater ecological index values were not affected by the preservation method and storage duration tested (including ethanol preservation), all treatments returning the same ecological status for a site.

Diatom-based ecological status assessment uses indices calculated from sensitivity and tolerance values as well as relative abundance of species. Correct assessment requires an accurate identification of species. In the present study, diatom assemblages of an oxbow lake were investigated using light and scanning electron microscopy as well as metabarcoding using rbcL marker, and the identification results were compared, intending to match barcode sequences of species that are currently missing in the diatom reference database. The investigated oxbow is an important wetland for bird conservation, although it is impacted by land use. Taxon lists based on morphology and metabarcoding considerably differed when bioinformatics analysis involved DADA2 pipeline with Diat.barcode database. Previously unknown sequence variants of four pennate species were found with additional BLAST search. Using phylogeny and p-distance calculations sequences could be matched to three small-celled naviculoid species that were found under a microscope. One of them was found to be a new species of the genus Mayamaea and was described as a new species, Mayamaea ectorii.

A new AR monitoring method is required to compensate for these disadvantages. While eDNA has become a valid monitoring tool for marine biodiversities, it is influenced by degradation and transport of the molecules that affect information about the spatio-temporal distribution of fish. An understanding of the relationship between current fields and eDNA distribution, particularly in open waters, is critical when using eDNA as an index for fish aggregation at ARs. We investigated the relationship between eDNA distribution and current fields around an AR for four dominant species (Engraulis japonicus, Parapristipoma trilineatum, Scomber spp and Trachurus japonicus) in Tateyama Bay, Japan. The highest density of fish schools is formed directly above or at the upstream side of ARs. If we assume that the center of eDNA originates at these locations at an AR and eDNA is simply transported by currents, a higher density of eDNA would distribute downstream from the AR. However, our results indicate that eDNA distribution is in accord with actual fish distribution, namely eDNA densities are more abundant in the upstream side of ARs. We thus consider that eDNA distribution is more influenced by actual distribution patterns than by the transport processes.","publicationDate":"2022-01-01","doi":"10.3897/mbmg.6.87415","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.6.87415","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["JP"],"source_details":{"id":74,"name":"Metabarcoding and Metagenomics","slug":"metabarcoding-and-metagenomics","issn_l":"2534-9708","openalex_id":"S4210182883","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210182883","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210182883","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://mbmg.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/74/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/metabarcoding-and-metagenomics/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-metabarcoding-and-metagenomics.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-metabarcoding-and-metagenomics.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["INOUE","NARIAKI"],"keywords":["ADCP"],"topics":["Environmental DNA in Biodiversity Studies","Identification and Quantification in Food","Microbial Community Ecology and Physiology"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4296841880","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.6.87415","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4296841880"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11876,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[140.09533,35.57667]}]},"bbox":[140.09533,35.57667,140.09533,35.57667],"properties":{"title":"Monitoring harmful microalgal species and their appearance in Tokyo Bay, Japan, using metabarcoding","type":"article","abstract":"During the recent decade, high-throughput sequencing (HTS) techniques, in particular, DNA metabarcoding, have facilitated increased detection of biodiversity, including harmful algal bloom (HAB) species. In this study, the presence of HAB species and their appearance patterns were investigated by employing molecular and light microscopy-based monitoring in Tokyo Bay, Japan. The potential co-appearance patterns between the HAB species, as well as with other eukaryotes and prokaryotes were investigated using correlation and association rule-based time-series analysis. In total, 40 unique HAB species were detected, including 12 toxin-producing HAB species previously not reported from the area. More than half of the HAB species were present throughout the sampling season (summer to autumn) and no structuring or succession patterns associated with the environmental conditions could be detected. Statistically significant (p < 0.05, rS ranging from −0.88 to 0.90) associations were found amongst the HAB species and other eukaryotic and prokaryotic species, including genera containing growth-limiting bacteria. However, significant correlations between species differed amongst the years, indicating that variability in environmental conditions between the years may have a stronger influence on the microalgal community structure and interspecies interactions than the variability during the sampling season. The association rule-based time-series analysis allowed the detection of a previously reported negative relationship between Synechococcus sp. and Skeletonema sp. in nature.

Flowers have various mechanisms to suppress microbial growth, such as flower volatiles, reactive oxygen and secondary compounds. Besides, plants rapidly replace flowers that have a short lifespan, and old flowers senesce. They may contribute to avoiding adverse effects of the microbes. In this study, we investigate if the flower microbial community on old flowers impedes fruit and seed production in a wild ginger with one-day flowers. We focus on microbes on old flowers because they may be composed of microbes that would grow during flowering if the flowers did not have mechanisms to suppress microbial growth. We inoculated newly opened flowers with old flower microbes, and monitored the effects on fruit and seed set. We also assessed prokaryotic communities on the flowers using 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing. We found six bacterial amplicon sequence variants (ASVs) whose proportions were increased on the inoculated flowers. These ASVs were also found on flower buds and flowers that were bagged by net or paper during anthesis, suggesting that they had been present in small numbers prior to flowering. Fruit set was negatively associated with the proportions of these ASVs, while seed set was not. The results suggest that old flowers harbor microbial communities different from those at anthesis, and that the microbes abundant on old flowers negatively affect plant reproduction. Although it has received little attention, antagonistic microbes that rapidly proliferate on the flowers may have affected the evolution of various flower characteristics such as flower volatiles and life span.","publicationDate":"2022-01-01","doi":"10.3897/mbmg.6.84331","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.6.84331","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["JP"],"source_details":{"id":74,"name":"Metabarcoding and Metagenomics","slug":"metabarcoding-and-metagenomics","issn_l":"2534-9708","openalex_id":"S4210182883","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210182883","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210182883","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://mbmg.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/74/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/metabarcoding-and-metagenomics/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-metabarcoding-and-metagenomics.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-metabarcoding-and-metagenomics.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Jiménez Elvira","Nuria"],"keywords":["anthosphere"],"topics":["Gut microbiota and health","Ginger and Zingiberaceae research","Biological and pharmacological studies of plants"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4286005842","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.6.84331","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4286005842"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11867,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-73.88,40.82]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-73.87,40.81]}]},"bbox":[-73.88,40.81,-73.87,40.82],"properties":{"title":"COI amplicon sequence data of environmental DNA collected from the Bronx River Estuary, New York City","type":"article","abstract":"In this data paper, we describe environmental DNA (eDNA) cytochrome c oxidase (COI) amplicon sequence data from New York City’s Bronx River Estuary.

To investigate and characterize the area’s diversity, we collected and sequenced river sediment and surface water samples from Hunts Point Riverside and Soundview Parks (ntotal = 48; nsediment = 25; nwater = 23). COI analysis using universal primers mlCOIintF and jgHCO2198 detected 27,328 Amplicon Sequence Variants (ASVs) from 7,653,541 sequences, and rarefaction curves reached asymptotes indicating sufficient sampling depth. Of these, eukaryotes represented 9,841ASVs from 3,562,254 sequences. At the study sites over the sampling period, community composition varied by substrate (river sediment versus surface water) and with water temperature, but not pH. The three most common phyla were Bacillariophyta (diatoms), Annelida (segmented worms), and Ochrophyta (e.g. brown and golden algae). Of the eukaryotic ASVs, we identified 614 (6.2%) to species level, including several dinoflagellates linked to Harmful Algal Blooms such as Heterocapsa spp., as well as the invasive amphipod Grandidierella japonica.

However, universal primers targeting the cytochrome oxidase I (COI) marker gene popular in metazoan studies have displayed high levels of nontarget amplification. To date, enrichment methods bypassing amplification have not been able to match the detection levels of conventional metabarcoding. This study evaluated the use of universal metabarcoding primers as capture probes to either isolate target DNA or to remove nontarget DNA, prior to amplification, by using biotinylated versions of universal metazoan and bacterial barcoding primers, namely metazoan COI (mlCOIintF) and bacterial 16S (515F). Additionally, each step of the protocol was assessed by amplifying for both metazoan COI (mlCOIintF/jgHCO2198) and bacterial 16S (515F/806R) to investigate the effect on the metazoan and bacterial communities. Bacterial read abundance increased significantly in response to the captures (COI library), while the quality of the captured DNA was also improved. The metazoan-oriented probe captured bacterial DNA in a range that was also amplifiable with the 16S primers, demonstrating the ability of capture probes to isolate fragments of DNA spanning over a longer distance than perhaps expected, from eDNA. Although the use of the tested COI probe cannot be recommended for metazoan enrichment, based on the experimental results, the concept of capturing these longer fragments could be applied to metazoan metabarcoding. By using a truly conserved site without a high-level taxonomic resolution as a target for capture, it may be possible to isolate DNA fragments large enough to span over a nearby barcoding region (e.g., COI), which can then be processed through a conventional metabarcoding-by-amplification protocol.","publicationDate":"2022-01-01","doi":"10.3897/mbmg.6.80416","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.6.80416","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["HN"],"source_details":{"id":74,"name":"Metabarcoding and Metagenomics","slug":"metabarcoding-and-metagenomics","issn_l":"2534-9708","openalex_id":"S4210182883","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210182883","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210182883","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://mbmg.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/74/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/metabarcoding-and-metagenomics/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-metabarcoding-and-metagenomics.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-metabarcoding-and-metagenomics.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Hintikka","Sanni"],"keywords":["eDNA"],"topics":["Environmental DNA in Biodiversity Studies","Microbial Community Ecology and Physiology","Genomics and Phylogenetic Studies"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4281696100","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.6.80416","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4281696100"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11861,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[39.103,22.304]}]},"bbox":[39.103,22.304,39.103,22.304],"properties":{"title":"Comparative metagenomics of phytoplankton blooms after nutrient enrichment of oligotrophic marine waters","type":"article","abstract":"Increasing anthropogenic pressures on the coastal marine environments impact these ecosystems via a variety of mechanisms including nutrient loading, leading to eutrophication and increases in algal blooms.

A sharp drop in functional similarity was observed in the first week in all treatments and after 20 days had not returned to pre-bloom levels. Changes within energy metabolism pathways showed a remarkable enrichment of the dissimilatory nitrate reduction pathway in the post-bloom period. Eukaryotic oxidative phosphorylation and photosynthetic antenna proteins were more abundant during the bloom, especially in the continuous treatment with silicate. Our results suggest that continuous (i.e. chronic) nutrient enrichment has a larger effect on the functioning of marine systems compared to a single (i.e acute) addition. A deep understanding of the functional and taxonomic shifts in the community during blooms is essential to reverse or mitigate human impacts on coastal environments.","publicationDate":"2022-01-01","doi":"10.3897/mbmg.6.79208","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.6.79208","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["SA"],"source_details":{"id":74,"name":"Metabarcoding and Metagenomics","slug":"metabarcoding-and-metagenomics","issn_l":"2534-9708","openalex_id":"S4210182883","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210182883","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210182883","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://mbmg.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/74/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/metabarcoding-and-metagenomics/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-metabarcoding-and-metagenomics.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-metabarcoding-and-metagenomics.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Pearman","John"],"keywords":["algal blooms"],"topics":["Microbial Community Ecology and Physiology","Marine and coastal ecosystems","Marine Biology and Ecology Research"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4223430892","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.6.79208","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4223430892"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11860,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-162.08333,5.88333]}]},"bbox":[-162.08333,5.88333,-162.08333,5.88333],"properties":{"title":"18S rDNA amplicon sequence data (V1–V3) of the Palmyra Atoll National Wildlife Refuge, Central Pacific","type":"article","abstract":"To address the global biodiversity crisis, standardized data that are rapidly obtainable through minimally invasive means are needed for documenting change and informing conservation within threatened and diverse systems, such as coral reefs.

Sixteen samples were obtained across four sample types: sediments from two sieved fractions (100–500 μm, n = 3; 500 μm-2 mm, n = 3) and sessile material scrapings (n = 3) from Autonomous Reef Monitoring Structures (ARMS) sampled in 2015, as well as seawater from 2012 (n = 7). After filtering and contaminant removal, 3,861 Amplicon Sequence Variants (ASVs) were produced from 1,062,238 reads. The rarefaction curves demonstrated adequate sampling depth, and communities grouped by sample type. The dominant orders across samples were polychaete worms (Eunicida), demosponges (Poecilosclerida), and bryozoans (Cheilostomatida). The ten most common orders in terms of relative abundance comprised ~60% of all sequences and 23% of ASVs, and included reef-building crustose coralline algae (CCA; Corallinophycidae) and stony corals (Scleractinia), two taxa associated with healthy reefs. Highlighting the need for further study, ~21% of the ASVs were identified as uncultured, incertae sedis, or not assigned to phylum or order.

Microbial communities are involved in many geochemical cycling processes in lakes and a greater understanding of their functions could assist in guiding more targeted remedial actions. Recent advances in metagenomics now make it possible to determine the functional potential of entire microbial communities. The present study investigated microbial communities and their functional potential in surface sediments collected from three lakes with differing trophic states and characteristics. Surface sediments were analysed for their nutrient and elemental contents and metagenomics and metabarcoding analysis undertaken. The nutrients content of the surface sediments did not show as distinct a gradient as water chemistry monitoring data, likely reflecting effects of other lake characteristics, in particular, depth. Metabarcoding and metagenomics revealed differing bacterial community composition and functional potential amongst lakes. Amongst the differentially abundant metabolic pathways, the most prominent were clusters in the energy and xenobiotics pathways. Differences in the energy metabolism paths of photosynthesis and oxidative phosphorylation were observed. These were most likely related to changes in the community composition and especially the presence of cyanobacteria in two of the three lakes. Xenobiotic pathways, such as those involving polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, were highest in the lakes with the greatest agricultural land-use in their catchment. These results highlight how microbial metagenomics can be used to gain insights into the causes of differences in trophic status amongst lakes.","publicationDate":"2022-01-01","doi":"10.3897/mbmg.6.79265","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.6.79265","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["NZ"],"source_details":{"id":74,"name":"Metabarcoding and Metagenomics","slug":"metabarcoding-and-metagenomics","issn_l":"2534-9708","openalex_id":"S4210182883","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210182883","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210182883","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://mbmg.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/74/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/metabarcoding-and-metagenomics/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-metabarcoding-and-metagenomics.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-metabarcoding-and-metagenomics.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Biessy","Laura"],"keywords":["bacteria"],"topics":["Microbial Community Ecology and Physiology","Environmental DNA in Biodiversity Studies","Genomics and Phylogenetic Studies"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4220658608","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.6.79265","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4220658608"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11856,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[139.16667,35.1625]}]},"bbox":[139.16667,35.1625,139.16667,35.1625],"properties":{"title":"Annual dynamics of eukaryotic and bacterial communities revealed by 18S and 16S rRNA metabarcoding in the coastal ecosystem of Sagami Bay, Japan","type":"article","abstract":"Sagami Bay, Japan is influenced by both the warm Kuroshio Current and the cold Oyashio Current and rich nutrients are supplied from multiple river sources and the deep-sea, forming a dynamic ecosystem.

These studies increasingly apply modern molecular tools targeting sedimentary DNA (sedDNA). However, sediment core sampling can be logistically difficult, making immediate subsampling for sedDNA challenging. Sediment cores are often refrigerated (4 °C) for weeks or months before subsampling. We investigated the impact of storage time on changes in DNA (purified or as cell lysate) concentrations and shifts in biological communities following storage of lake surface sediment at 4 °C for up to 24 weeks. Sediment samples (~ 0.22 g, in triplicate per time point) were spiked with purified DNA (100 or 200 ng) or lysate from a brackish water cyanobacterium that produces the cyanotoxin nodularin or non-spiked. Samples were analysed every 1–4 weeks over a 24-week period. Droplet digital PCR showed no significant decrease in the target gene (nodularin synthetase – subunit F; ndaF) over the 24-week period for samples spiked with purified DNA, while copy number decreased by more than half in cell lysate-spiked samples. There was significant change over time in bacteria and eukaryotic community composition assessed using metabarcoding. Amongst bacteria, the cyanobacterial signal became negligible after 5 weeks while Proteobacteria increased. In the eukaryotic community, Cercozoa became dominant after 6 weeks. These data demonstrate that DNA yields and community composition data shift significantly when sediments are stored chilled for more than 5 weeks. This highlights the need for rapid subsampling and appropriate storage of sediment core samples for paleogenomic studies.","publicationDate":"2022-01-01","doi":"10.3897/mbmg.6.78128","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.6.78128","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["NZ"],"source_details":{"id":74,"name":"Metabarcoding and Metagenomics","slug":"metabarcoding-and-metagenomics","issn_l":"2534-9708","openalex_id":"S4210182883","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210182883","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210182883","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://mbmg.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/74/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/metabarcoding-and-metagenomics/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-metabarcoding-and-metagenomics.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-metabarcoding-and-metagenomics.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Brasell","Katie"],"keywords":["chilled storage"],"topics":["Environmental DNA in Biodiversity Studies","Microbial Community Ecology and Physiology","Protist diversity and phylogeny"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4210265104","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.6.78128","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4210265104"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11851,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-8.80116,42.20063]}]},"bbox":[-8.80116,42.20063,-8.80116,42.20063],"properties":{"title":"Comparing species detection success between molecular markers in DNA metabarcoding of coastal macroinvertebrates","type":"article","abstract":"DNA metabarcoding has great potential to improve marine biomonitoring programs by providing a rapid and accurate assessment of species composition in zoobenthic communities.

Here we assessed the efficiency of two different marker loci (COI and 18S) and three primer pairs in marine species detection through DNA metabarcoding of the macrozoobenthic communities colonizing three types of artificial substrates (slate, PVC and granite), sampled between 3 and 15 months of deployment. To accurately compare detection success between markers, we also compared the representativeness of the detected species in public databases and revised the reliability of the taxonomic assignments. Globally, we recorded extensive complementarity in the species detected by each marker, with 69% of the species exclusively detected by either 18S or COI. Individually, each of the three primer pairs recovered, at most, 52% of all species detected on the samples, showing also different abilities to amplify specific taxonomic groups. Most of the detected species have reliable reference sequences in their respective databases (82% for COI and 72% for 18S), meaning that when a species was detected by one marker and not by the other, it was most likely due to faulty amplification, and not by lack of matching sequences in the database. Overall, results showed the impact of marker and primer applied on species detection ability and indicated that, currently, if only a single marker or primer pair is employed in marine zoobenthos metabarcoding, a fair portion of the diversity may be overlooked.","publicationDate":"2021-01-01","doi":"10.3897/mbmg.5.70063","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.5.70063","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["ES"],"source_details":{"id":74,"name":"Metabarcoding and Metagenomics","slug":"metabarcoding-and-metagenomics","issn_l":"2534-9708","openalex_id":"S4210182883","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210182883","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210182883","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://mbmg.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/74/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/metabarcoding-and-metagenomics/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-metabarcoding-and-metagenomics.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-metabarcoding-and-metagenomics.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Leite","Barbara"],"keywords":["COI"],"topics":["Environmental DNA in Biodiversity Studies","Identification and Quantification in Food","Marine Ecology and Invasive Species"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4200585648","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.5.70063","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4200585648"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11848,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[35.97648,34.30494]}]},"bbox":[35.97648,34.30494,35.97648,34.30494],"properties":{"title":"Using DNA metabarcoding to decipher the diet plant component of mammals from the Eastern Mediterranean region","type":"article","abstract":"Longevity of species populations depends largely on interactions among animals and plants in an ecosystem.

Recent work on fish environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding shows that aquatic diversity can be captured fast, reliably, and non-invasively at moderate costs. Because water in a catchment flows to the lowest point in the landscape, often a stream, it can collect traces of terrestrial species via surface or subsurface runoff along its way or when specimens come into direct contact with water (e.g., when drinking). Thus, fish eDNA metabarcoding data can provide information on fish but also on other vertebrate species that live in riparian habitats. This additional data may offer a much more comprehensive approach for assessing vertebrate diversity at no additional costs. Studies on how the sampling strategy affects species detection especially of stream-associated communities, however, are scarce. We therefore performed an analysis on the effects of biological replication on both fish as well as (semi-)terrestrial species detection. Along a 2 km stretch of the river Mulde (Germany), we collected 18 1-L water samples and analyzed the relation of detected species richness and quantity of biological replicates taken. We detected 58 vertebrate species, of which 25 were fish and lamprey, 18 mammals, and 15 birds, which account for 50%, 22.2%, and 7.4% of all native species to the German federal state of Saxony-Anhalt. However, while increasing the number of biological replicates resulted in only 24.8% more detected fish and lamprey species, mammal, and bird species richness increased disproportionately by 68.9% and 77.3%, respectively. Contrary, PCR replicates showed little stochasticity. We thus emphasize to increase the number of biological replicates when the aim is to improve general species detections. This holds especially true when the focus is on rare aquatic taxa or on (semi-)terrestrial species, the so-called ‘bycatch’. As a clear advantage, this information can be obtained without any additional sampling or laboratory effort when the sampling strategy is chosen carefully. With the increased use of eDNA metabarcoding as part of national fish bioassessment and monitoring programs, the complimentary information provided on bycatch can be used for biodiversity monitoring and conservation on a much broader scale.","publicationDate":"2021-01-01","doi":"10.3897/mbmg.5.66557","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.5.66557","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["DE"],"source_details":{"id":74,"name":"Metabarcoding and Metagenomics","slug":"metabarcoding-and-metagenomics","issn_l":"2534-9708","openalex_id":"S4210182883","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210182883","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210182883","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://mbmg.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/74/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/metabarcoding-and-metagenomics/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-metabarcoding-and-metagenomics.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-metabarcoding-and-metagenomics.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Macher","Till-Hendrik"],"keywords":["biomonitoring"],"topics":["Environmental DNA in Biodiversity Studies","Identification and Quantification in Food","Species Distribution and Climate Change"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W3180856468","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.5.66557","mag":"3180856468","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W3180856468"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11832,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-2.06667,51.05]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-1.63333,50.83333]}]},"bbox":[-2.06667,50.83333,-1.63333,51.05],"properties":{"title":"Potential for cross-contamination of diatom DNA samples when using toothbrushes","type":"article","abstract":"The use of toothbrushes and similar devices for sampling diatoms from hard surfaces is a well-established approach.

DNA metabarcoding represents a powerful approach for rigorous spatial and temporal monitoring of the taxonomically challenging soil fauna. Here, we provide a detailed field protocol, which was successfully applied in Barro Colorado Island (BCI) in Panama, to collect soil samples and arthropods in a tropical rainforest, to be later processed with metabarcoding. We also estimate the proportion of soil/litter ant, springtail and termite species from the local fauna that can be detected by metabarcoding samples obtained either from Berlese-Tullgren (soil samples), Malaise or light traps. Each collecting method detected a rather distinct fauna. Soil and Malaise trap samples detected 213 species (73%) of all target species. Malaise trap samples detected many ant species, whereas soil samples were more efficient at detecting springtail and termite species. With respect to long-term monitoring of soil-dwelling and common species (more amenable to statistical trends), the best combination of two methods were soil and light trap samples, detecting 94% of the total of common species. A protocol including 100 soil, 40 Malaise and 80 light trap samples annually processed by metabarcoding would allow the long-term monitoring of at least 11%, 18% and 16% of species of soil/litter ants, springtails and termites, respectively, present on BCI, and a high proportion of the total abundance (up to 80% of all individuals) represented by these taxa.","publicationDate":"2020-01-01","doi":"10.3897/mbmg.4.58572","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.4.58572","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["PA"],"source_details":{"id":74,"name":"Metabarcoding and Metagenomics","slug":"metabarcoding-and-metagenomics","issn_l":"2534-9708","openalex_id":"S4210182883","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210182883","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210182883","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://mbmg.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/74/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/metabarcoding-and-metagenomics/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-metabarcoding-and-metagenomics.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-metabarcoding-and-metagenomics.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Basset","Yves"],"keywords":["Barro Colorado Island"],"topics":["Insect and Arachnid Ecology and Behavior","Plant and animal studies","Environmental DNA in Biodiversity Studies"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W3116201466","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.4.58572","mag":"3116201466","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W3116201466"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11823,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-3.8214,52.3648]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-4.0313,52.4364]}]},"bbox":[-4.0313,52.3648,-3.8214,52.4364],"properties":{"title":"Soil stabilisation for DNA metabarcoding of plants and fungi.

If field sites are remote or if samples are collected by third parties, transport to analytical laboratories may take several days or even weeks. The bulk of such samples and requirement for later homogenisation precludes the convenient use of a stabilisation buffer, so samples are usually cooled or frozen during transit. There has been limited testing of the most appropriate storage methods for later study of soil organisms by eDNA approaches. Here we tested a range of storage methods on two contrasting soils, comparing these methods to the control of freezing at -80 °C, followed by freeze-drying. To our knowledge, this is the first study to examine the effect of storage conditions on eukaryote DNA in soil, including both viable organisms (fungi) and DNA contained within dying/dead tissues (plants). For fungi, the best storage regimes (closest to the control) were storage at 4 °C (for up to 14 d) or active air-drying at room temperature. The worst treatments involved initial freezing, followed by thawing which led to significant later spoilage. The key spoilage organisms were identified as Metarhizium carneum and Mortierella spp., with a general increase in saprotrophic fungi and reduced abundances of mycorrhizal/biotrophic fungi. Plant data showed a similar pattern, but with greater variability in community structure, especially in the freeze-thaw treatments, probably due to stochastic variation in substrates for fungal decomposition, algal proliferation and some seed germination. In the absence of freeze drying facilities, samples should be shipped refrigerated, but not frozen if there is any risk of thawing.","publicationDate":"2020-01-01","doi":"10.3897/mbmg.4.58365","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.4.58365","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["GB"],"source_details":{"id":74,"name":"Metabarcoding and Metagenomics","slug":"metabarcoding-and-metagenomics","issn_l":"2534-9708","openalex_id":"S4210182883","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210182883","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210182883","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://mbmg.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/74/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/metabarcoding-and-metagenomics/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-metabarcoding-and-metagenomics.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-metabarcoding-and-metagenomics.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Avila Clasen","Lina"],"keywords":["chitinolytic fungi"],"topics":["Environmental DNA in Biodiversity Studies","Mycorrhizal Fungi and Plant Interactions","Plant Pathogens and Fungal Diseases"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W3108849594","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.4.58365","mag":"3108849594","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W3108849594"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11819,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[32.91157,34.7698]}]},"bbox":[32.91157,34.7698,32.91157,34.7698],"properties":{"title":"The mitochondrial genomes of 11 aquatic macroinvertebrate species from Cyprus","type":"article","abstract":"Aquatic macroinvertebrates are often identified, based on morphology, but molecular approaches like DNA barcoding, metabarcoding and metagenomics are increasingly used for species identification.

With nematodes, however, it has been found that the COI region designated for most animals lacks the taxonomic coverage (ability to amplify a diverse group of taxa) required of a metabarcoding marker. For that reason, studies on metabarcoding of nematodes thus far have utilized primarily regions within the highly conserved 18S ribosomal DNA. Two popular markers within this region are the ones flanked by the primer pairs NF1-18Sr2b and SSUF04-SSUR22. The NF1-18Sr2b primer pair, especially, has been critiqued as not being specific enough for nematodes leading to suggestions for other candidate markers while the SSUF04-SSUR22 region has hardly been tested on soil nematodes. The current study aimed to evaluate these two markers against other alternative ones within the 28S rDNA and the COI region for their suitability for nematode metabarcoding. The results showed that the NF1-18Sr2b marker could offer wide coverage and good resolution for characterizing soil nematodes. Sufficient availability of reference sequences for this region was found to be a significant factor that resulted in this marker outperforming the other markers, particularly the 18S-based SSUFO4-SSUR22 marker. None of the other tested regions compared with this marker in terms of the proportion of the taxa recovered. The COI-based marker had the lowest number of taxa recovered, and this was due to the poor performance of its primers and the insufficient number of reference sequences in public databases. In summary, this study highlights how dependent the success of metabarcoding is on the availability of a good reference sequence collection for the marker of choice as well as its taxonomic coverage.","publicationDate":"2019-01-01","doi":"10.3897/mbmg.3.36408","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.3.36408","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["GB"],"source_details":{"id":74,"name":"Metabarcoding and Metagenomics","slug":"metabarcoding-and-metagenomics","issn_l":"2534-9708","openalex_id":"S4210182883","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210182883","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210182883","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://mbmg.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/74/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/metabarcoding-and-metagenomics/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-metabarcoding-and-metagenomics.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-metabarcoding-and-metagenomics.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Ahmed","Mohammed"],"keywords":["barcoding"],"topics":["Environmental DNA in Biodiversity Studies","Nematode management and characterization studies","Protist diversity and phylogeny"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2983292853","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.3.36408","mag":"2983292853","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W2983292853"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11804,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-47.95407,-21.59068]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-48.04223,-21.5028]}]},"bbox":[-48.04223,-21.59068,-47.95407,-21.5028],"properties":{"title":"DNA metabarcoding of Neotropical ichthyoplankton: Enabling high accuracy with lower cost","type":"article","abstract":"Knowledge of ichthyoplankton dynamics is extremely important for conservation management as it can provide information about preferential spawning sites, reproductive period, migratory routes and recruitment success, which can be used to guide management and conservation efforts. However, identification of the eggs and larvae of Neotropical freshwater fish is a difficult task. DNA barcodes have emerged as an alternative and highly accurate approach for species identification, but DNA barcoding can be time-consuming and costly. To solve this problem, we aimed to develop a simple protocol based on DNA metabarcoding, to investigate whether it is possible to detect and quantify all species present in a pool of organisms. To do this, 230 larvae were cut in half, one half was sequenced by the Sanger technique and the other half was used to compose six arrays with a pool of larvae that were sequenced using a next-generation technique (NGS). The results of the Sanger sequencing allowed the identification of almost all larvae at species level, and the results from NGS showed high accuracy in species detection, ranging from 83% to 100%, with an average of 95% in all samples. No false positives were detected. The frequency of organisms in the two methods was positively correlated (Pearson), with low variation among species. In conclusion, this protocol represents a considerable advance in ichthyoplankton studies, allowing a rapid, cost-effective, quali-quantitative approach that improves the accuracy of identification.","publicationDate":"2019-01-01","doi":"10.3897/mbmg.3.35060","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.3.35060","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["BR"],"source_details":{"id":74,"name":"Metabarcoding and Metagenomics","slug":"metabarcoding-and-metagenomics","issn_l":"2534-9708","openalex_id":"S4210182883","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210182883","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210182883","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://mbmg.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/74/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/metabarcoding-and-metagenomics/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-metabarcoding-and-metagenomics.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-metabarcoding-and-metagenomics.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Batista Nobile","André"],"keywords":["DNA Barcoding"],"topics":["Environmental DNA in Biodiversity Studies","Identification and Quantification in Food","Fish biology, ecology, and behavior"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2971432560","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.3.35060","mag":"2971432560","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W2971432560"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11797,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[139.7675,34.9758]}]},"bbox":[139.7675,34.9758,139.7675,34.9758],"properties":{"title":"Development of a new set of PCR primers for eDNA metabarcoding decapod crustaceans","type":"article","abstract":"The Decapoda is one of the largest orders within the class Malacostraca, comprising approximately 14,000 extant species and including many commercially important species. For biodiversity monitoring in a non-invasive manner, a new set of PCR primers was developed for metabarcoding environmental DNA (eDNA) from decapod crustaceans. The new primers (herein named “MiDeca”) were designed for two conservative regions of the mitochondrial 16S rRNA gene, which amplify a short, hyper-variable region (153–184 bp, 164 bp on average) with sufficient interspecific variations. With the use of MiDeca primers and tissue-derived DNA extracts, we successfully determined those sequences (154–189 bp) from 250 species, placed in 186 genera and 65 families across the suborder Dendrobranchiata and 10 of the 11 infraorders of the suborder Pleocyemata. We also preliminarily attempted eDNA metabarcoding from natural seawater collected at Banda, Tateyama, the Pacific coast of central Japan and detected 42 decapod species including 34 and 8 species with sequence identities of > 98% and 80–98%, respectively. The results suggest the usefulness of eDNA metabarcoding with MiDeca primers for biodiversity monitoring of the decapod species. It appears, however, that further optimisation of primer sequences would still be necessary to avoid possible PCR dropouts from eDNA extracts.","publicationDate":"2019-01-01","doi":"10.3897/mbmg.3.33835","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.3.33835","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["JP"],"source_details":{"id":74,"name":"Metabarcoding and Metagenomics","slug":"metabarcoding-and-metagenomics","issn_l":"2534-9708","openalex_id":"S4210182883","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210182883","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210182883","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://mbmg.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/74/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/metabarcoding-and-metagenomics/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-metabarcoding-and-metagenomics.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-metabarcoding-and-metagenomics.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Komai","Tomoyuki"],"keywords":["mitochondrial 16S rRNA gene"],"topics":["Environmental DNA in Biodiversity Studies","Identification and Quantification in Food","Genomics and Phylogenetic Studies"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2941568282","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.3.33835","mag":"2941568282","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W2941568282"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11795,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-1.39646,50.8902]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-1.39391,50.89119]}]},"bbox":[-1.39646,50.8902,-1.39391,50.89119],"properties":{"title":"Optimising the detection of marine taxonomic richness using environmental DNA metabarcoding: the effects of filter material, pore size and extraction method","type":"article","abstract":"The analysis of environmental DNA (eDNA) using metabarcoding has increased in use as a method for tracking biodiversity of ecosystems. Little is known about eDNA in marine human-modified environments, such as commercial ports, which are key sites to monitor for anthropogenic impacts on coastal ecosystems. To optimise an eDNA metabarcoding protocol in these environments, seawater samples were collected in a commercial port and methodologies for concentrating and purifying eDNA were tested for their effect on eukaryotic DNA yield and subsequent richness of Operational Taxonomic Units (OTUs). Different filter materials [Cellulose Nitrate (CN) and Glass Fibre (GF)], with different pore sizes (0.5 µm, 0.7 µm and 1.2 µm) and three previously published liquid phase extraction methods were tested. The number of eukaryotic OTUs detected differed by a factor of three amongst the method combinations. The combination of CN filters with phenol-chloroform-isoamyl alcohol extractions recovered a higher amount of eukaryotic DNA and OTUs compared to GF filters and the chloroform-isoamyl alcohol extraction method. Pore size was not independent of filter material but did affect the yield of eukaryotic DNA. For the OTUs assigned to a highly successful non-indigenous species, Styela clava, the two extraction methods with phenol significantly outperformed the extraction method without phenol; other experimental treatments did not contribute significantly to detection. These results highlight that careful consideration of methods is warranted because choice of filter material and extraction method create false negative detections of marine eukaryotic OTUs and underestimate taxonomic richness from environmental samples.","publicationDate":"2018-01-01","doi":"10.3897/mbmg.2.28963","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.2.28963","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["GB"],"source_details":{"id":74,"name":"Metabarcoding and Metagenomics","slug":"metabarcoding-and-metagenomics","issn_l":"2534-9708","openalex_id":"S4210182883","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210182883","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210182883","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://mbmg.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/74/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/metabarcoding-and-metagenomics/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-metabarcoding-and-metagenomics.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-metabarcoding-and-metagenomics.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Deiner","Kristy"],"keywords":["eDNA"],"topics":["Environmental DNA in Biodiversity Studies","Microbial Community Ecology and Physiology","Protist diversity and phylogeny"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2899251903","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.2.28963","mag":"2899251903","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W2899251903"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11791,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[9.80454,61.98186]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[10.02823,61.98471]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[10.5537,63.39569]}]},"bbox":[9.80454,61.98186,10.5537,63.39569],"properties":{"title":"Choice of DNA extraction method affects DNA metabarcoding of unsorted invertebrate bulk samples","type":"article","abstract":"Characterisation of freshwater benthic biodiversity using DNA metabarcoding may allow more cost-effective environmental assessments than the current morphological-based assessment methods. DNA metabarcoding methods where sorting or pre-sorting of samples are avoided altogether are especially interesting, since the time between sampling and taxonomic identification is reduced. Due to the presence of non-target material like plants and sediments in crude samples, DNA extraction protocols become important for maximising DNA recovery and sample replicability. We sampled freshwater invertebrates from six river and lake sites and extracted DNA from homogenised bulk samples in quadruplicate subsamples, using a published method and two commercially available kits: HotSHOT approach, Qiagen DNeasy Blood & Tissue Kit and Qiagen DNeasy PowerPlant Pro Kit. The performance of the selected extraction methods was evaluated by measuring DNA yield and applying DNA metabarcoding to see if the choice of DNA extraction method affects DNA yield and metazoan diversity results. The PowerPlant Kit extractions resulted in the highest DNA yield and a strong significant correlation between sample weight and DNA yield, while the DNA yields of the Blood & Tissue Kit and HotSHOT method did not correlate with the sample weights. Metazoan diversity measures were more repeatable in samples extracted with the PowerPlant Kit compared to those extracted with the HotSHOT method or the Blood & Tissue Kit. Subsampling using Blood & Tissue Kit and HotSHOT extraction failed to describe the same community in the lake samples. Our study exemplifies that the choice of DNA extraction protocol influences the DNA yield as well as the subsequent community analysis. Based on our results, low specimen abundance samples will likely provide more stable results if specimens are sorted prior to DNA extraction and DNA metabarcoding, but the repeatability of the DNA extraction and DNA metabarcoding results was close to ideal in high specimen abundance samples.","publicationDate":"2018-01-01","doi":"10.3897/mbmg.2.26664","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.2.26664","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["NO"],"source_details":{"id":74,"name":"Metabarcoding and Metagenomics","slug":"metabarcoding-and-metagenomics","issn_l":"2534-9708","openalex_id":"S4210182883","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210182883","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210182883","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://mbmg.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/74/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/metabarcoding-and-metagenomics/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-metabarcoding-and-metagenomics.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-metabarcoding-and-metagenomics.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Majaneva","Markus"],"keywords":["Macroinvertebrates"],"topics":["Environmental DNA in Biodiversity Studies","Protist diversity and phylogeny","Microbial Community Ecology and Physiology"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2888619025","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.2.26664","mag":"2888619025","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W2888619025"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11786,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[103.7202,1.45883]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[103.63018,1.34037]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[103.8487,1.22247]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[103.68202,1.29527]}]},"bbox":[103.63018,1.22247,103.8487,1.45883],"properties":{"title":"Characterising planktonic dinoflagellate diversity in Singapore using DNA metabarcoding","type":"article","abstract":"Dinoflagellates are traditionally identified morphologically using microscopy, which is a time-consuming and labour-intensive process.

We conclude that Dorpers, like Merinos, are potentially a threat to some vulnerable species in the rangelands of New South Wales.","publicationDate":"2018-01-01","doi":"10.3897/mbmg.2.22467","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.2.22467","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["AU"],"source_details":{"id":74,"name":"Metabarcoding and Metagenomics","slug":"metabarcoding-and-metagenomics","issn_l":"2534-9708","openalex_id":"S4210182883","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210182883","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210182883","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://mbmg.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/74/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/metabarcoding-and-metagenomics/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-metabarcoding-and-metagenomics.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-metabarcoding-and-metagenomics.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Lee","Timothy"],"keywords":["Metabarcoding"],"topics":["Environmental DNA in Biodiversity Studies","Genomics and Phylogenetic Studies","Identification and Quantification in Food"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2791461888","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mbmg.2.22467","mag":"2791461888","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W2791461888"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11772,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[112.35,25.11667]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[107.20583,12.29389]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[108.68,12.18278]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[108.68,12.18639]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[102.1,21.68333]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[102.11333,21.68667]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[98.9,18.81667]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[98.83333,19.31667]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[105.13333,18.35]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[108.46861,12.01889]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[102.15,20.75]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[108.27,12.03]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[105.00247,17.06744]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[105.15,17.71667]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[101.81667,16.86667]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[101.35,17.5]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[103.06667,18.38333]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[101.01908,21.00256]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[101.31667,21.15]}]},"bbox":[98.83333,12.01889,112.35,25.11667],"properties":{"title":"New Tetraserica and Trioserica species from China and Vietnam (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae, Sericinae, Sericini)","type":"article","abstract":"In the current study we describe four new species from China and Vietnam belonging to the genera Tetraserica Ahrens, 2004 and Trioserica Moser, 1922: Tetraserica dietzi sp. nov.

This catalogue covers the entire type collection (525 lots, 10,493 specimens) of the order Cumacea, representing 139 nominal species and subspecies, including holotypes, allotypes, paratypes, and syntypes. The type material includes members of the families Bodotriidae, Diastylidae, Gynodiastylidae, Lampropidae, Leuconidae, and Nannastacidae.

The species is polymorphic in both sexes and exhibits patterns of a smiling face with dots in colours of red, black and white arranged differently. 32 different morphs of the species have been reported here which have been collected from three different locations in the northwestern state of India, Uttarakhand. This Theridion species also builds webs to hang upside down like the other polymorphic spiders T. californicum and T. grallator. The phylogenetic position of the species is also reported here which was compared against some of the Asian and Neotropical species across the world using the COI marker. A genetic variation of around 8.5% is observed from the Hawaiian Happy-face spider which indicates a separately evolved species in Asia where several morphs have been found. Despite moderate overall divergence, T. himalayana appears to be phylogenetically isolated from both its Palearctic and Nearctic congeners. This supports its distinctiveness within the genus and raises broader questions about lineage dispersal, parallel evolution of colour polymorphism and independent evolution of species in montane forests. A dichotomous key to the Theridion species described form India is also presented here.","publicationDate":"2026-01-01","doi":"10.3897/evolsyst.10.174338","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/evolsyst.10.174338","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["IN"],"source_details":{"id":73,"name":"Evolutionary Systematics","slug":"evolutionary-systematics","issn_l":"2535-0730","openalex_id":"S4210215492","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210215492","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210215492","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://evolsyst.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/73/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/evolutionary-systematics/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-evolutionary-systematics.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-evolutionary-systematics.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Tripathy","Ashirwad"],"keywords":["Happy-face spider"],"topics":["Spider Taxonomy and Behavior Studies","Subterranean biodiversity and taxonomy","Silk-based biomaterials and applications"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W7155497428","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/evolsyst.10.174338","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W7155497428"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11761,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-77.54447,-1.09803]}]},"bbox":[-77.54447,-1.09803,-77.54447,-1.09803],"properties":{"title":"Ubristes mirabilissimus sp. nov., a new stingless bee mimicking hoverfly from the Ecuadorian Amazon (Diptera, Syrphidae, Microdontinae)","type":"article","abstract":"A new species of Ubristes Walker, 1852, U. mirabilissimus sp. nov., is described from the Napo Province in the Amazonian part of Ecuador.

As global temperatures rise and the spread of artificial habitats alters ecological conditions, many species are establishing breeding populations outside their native ranges. The Black Pennant Selysiothemis nigra (Vander Linden, 1825), considered native to the Iranoeremian region, has shown a rapid range expansion across Europe, reaching several new countries since the 2000s. As part of this process, the species was recorded in Hungary as well as in the Carpathian Basin in 2020 for the first time, when a single female specimen was observed during a field survey. In this study, we examined the species at the northern edge of its current European distribution in Hungary, using both traditional field observations collected between 2020 and 2025 and citizen science data. We documented 39 new occurrences, including multiple swarms consisting of more than one hundred individuals. At one of these sites, where copulating adults had previously been observed, larval sampling revealed the presence of immature stages. A total of 11 naiads were found in two gravel pit lakes, providing direct evidence of successful reproduction at 47.3262°N. This represents the first known autochthonous population in the Carpathian Basin and the northernmost breeding population of the species worldwide. Our results demonstrate that the Black Pennant is established and increasingly widespread in the Carpathian Basin, highlighting the importance of confirmed breeding populations in assessing range dynamics while emphasizing the growing value of citizen science platforms for tracking distributional changes in arthropods.","publicationDate":"2026-01-01","doi":"10.3897/evolsyst.10.178055","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/evolsyst.10.178055","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["HU"],"source_details":{"id":73,"name":"Evolutionary Systematics","slug":"evolutionary-systematics","issn_l":"2535-0730","openalex_id":"S4210215492","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210215492","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210215492","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://evolsyst.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/73/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/evolutionary-systematics/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-evolutionary-systematics.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-evolutionary-systematics.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Székely","Áron"],"keywords":["Autochthony"],"topics":["Freshwater macroinvertebrate diversity and ecology","Species Distribution and Climate Change","Ecology and Vegetation Dynamics Studies"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W7128488262","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/evolsyst.10.178055","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W7128488262"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11756,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-23.21694,15.22639]}]},"bbox":[-23.21694,15.22639,-23.21694,15.22639],"properties":{"title":"A new record of the meiobenthic priapulid Tubiluchus from Cabo Verde and a comparison of external characters in adults within the genus","type":"article","abstract":"Two specimens of the genus Tubiluchus (Priapulida) are reported from Cabo Verde, this is the southernmost record in the Eastern Atlantic for this genus.

Bioacoustically, the new species are quite different from other species in the complex: Spinomantis lakolosy sp. nov. has the longest note duration with a powerful-sounding call that rings like a bell, which can be heard over the sound of rushing water in nearby streams; while S. lavabato sp. nov. differs by having the shortest note duration that is quiet and sounds like a trill. Furthermore, both species are substantially diverged in mitochondrial DNA, with pairwise distances in a fragment of the 16S rRNA marker of 7–9% to all other related species. Furthermore, we identify a lineage for future study in the complex from the nearby high-elevation site Andemaka within Ranomafana National Park that has an intermediate sounding advertisement call between the newly described species; although we cannot formally describe this lineage herein due to unavailability of voucher specimens, this lineage emphasizes the unexpectedly high diversity of sympatric species of the S. bertini complex in the Ranomafana area. Additionally, we identify another lineage from Ambahavala in the Anosy Chain with strong mitochondrial divergence for future study. Our findings also highlight the need for continued inventory work in high elevation rainforests of Madagascar, even in relatively well-studied regions such as Ranomafana National Park.","publicationDate":"2025-01-01","doi":"10.3897/evolsyst.9.174833","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/evolsyst.9.174833","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["MG"],"source_details":{"id":73,"name":"Evolutionary Systematics","slug":"evolutionary-systematics","issn_l":"2535-0730","openalex_id":"S4210215492","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210215492","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210215492","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://evolsyst.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/73/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/evolutionary-systematics/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-evolutionary-systematics.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-evolutionary-systematics.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Hutter","Carl"],"keywords":["Amphibia"],"topics":["Amphibian and Reptile Biology","Subterranean biodiversity and taxonomy","Venomous Animal Envenomation and Studies"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W7117473051","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/evolsyst.9.174833","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W7117473051"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11753,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[80.63028,7.28333]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[80.59922,7.28246]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[80.85861,7.33611]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[80.69806,7.14583]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[80.90333,7.15389]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[80.64139,7.29917]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[80.84556,7.43083]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[80.61389,7.24917]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[80.73889,7.52361]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[80.83333,7.36111]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[80.73806,7.52833]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[80.67444,7.85944]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[80.79333,6.91111]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[80.6,6.76667]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[80.81278,6.93111]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[81.0575,7.42444]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[81.533,7.43539]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[80.08333,8.375]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[80.65444,8.10917]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[80.75,8.8]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[80.50404,8.35294]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[80.98722,7.8975]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[80.375,7.47139]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[80.03528,7.35889]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[79.875,8.17083]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[80.3425,7.23667]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[81.28333,6.28333]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[80.31528,6.05833]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[80.88472,6.84222]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[81.05036,6.86456]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[81.11667,6.86667]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[80.96564,6.74678]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[81.01336,6.84986]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[81.53778,7.045]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[80.05111,7.06472]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[80.24778,6.44306]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[79.84306,7.19694]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[80.27972,6.85472]}]},"bbox":[79.84306,6.05833,81.53778,8.8],"properties":{"title":"Phylogenetic placement of Sri Lankan goblin spiders (Araneae, Oonopidae): integrating new taxa and taxonomic implications","type":"article","abstract":"Sri Lanka harbours an exceptionally high diversity of goblin spiders (family Oonopidae), with 45 currently recognised species across 13 genera, of which 38 are endemic. In this study, we present a molecular phylogenetic analysis based on two nuclear ribosomal markers (18S and 28S rRNA), incorporating 28 species from eight genera: Aprusia, Brignolia, Ischnothyreus, Opopaea, Orchestina, Pelicinus, Silhouettella, and Xestaspis. These taxa were analysed in the context of the existing global phylogeny, enabling both regional and broader evolutionary comparisons. Our results reveal that several genera, particularly Brignolia, Opopaea, and Ischnothyreus, are paraphyletic, highlighting the need for taxonomic revision. Endemic clades such as Aprusia, Brignolia, and Xestaspis show strong evidence of recent, within-island speciation and microendemism. The genus Orchestina is recovered as monophyletic, with Sri Lankan species forming a distinct clade. The findings support the hypothesis that reduced body sclerotisation is a plesiomorphic trait in oonopids. Overall, the study underscores the exceptional microendemism and evolutionary distinctiveness of Sri Lanka’s oonopid fauna, likely driven by both ecological isolation and in situ speciation. However, given the incomplete representation of Indian and Southeast Asian taxa, and limited molecular sampling, further studies incorporating broader taxon and gene sampling are needed to fully resolve the origins and diversification of this ecologically important spider family.","publicationDate":"2025-01-01","doi":"10.3897/evolsyst.9.168533","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/evolsyst.9.168533","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["LK"],"source_details":{"id":73,"name":"Evolutionary

Here we construct a phylogeny of, and haplotype networks for, Sri Lankan Devario using a molecular dataset derived from the cox1 and cytb mitochondrial DNA markers and the rag1 and irdp nuclear DNA markers representative of all five species. We compare the mitochondrial and nuclear phylogenies for evidence of discordance, showing that D. malabaricus appears to have hybridized with all the other species, except D. memorialis, in their contact zones. The phenotype of D. malabaricus varies with elevation as a cline, partly converging on the phenotype of D. altus sp. nov., possibly through introgression with D. altus sp. nov. or adaptation to hill-stream habitats. Through a morphological analysis of 363 voucher specimens representative of all five species, we characterize the species, thereby stabilizing their taxonomy.","publicationDate":"2025-01-01","doi":"10.3897/evolsyst.9.162251","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/evolsyst.9.162251","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["LK"],"source_details":{"id":73,"name":"Evolutionary Systematics","slug":"evolutionary-systematics","issn_l":"2535-0730","openalex_id":"S4210215492","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210215492","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210215492","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://evolsyst.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/73/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/evolutionary-systematics/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-evolutionary-systematics.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-evolutionary-systematics.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Sudasinghe","Hiranya"],"keywords":["Cypriniformes"],"topics":["Fish Biology and Ecology Studies","Fish biology, ecology, and behavior","Fish Ecology and Management Studies"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4416110711","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/evolsyst.9.162251","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4416110711"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11750,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[93.8788,6.81092]}]},"bbox":[93.87879,6.81092,93.87879,6.81092],"properties":{"title":"A ‘Crikey’ new snake: An insular Lycodon Fitzinger, 1826 (Squamata, Colubridae) from the Nicobar Archipelago, India","type":"article","abstract":"The Nicobar Archipelago, a biodiversity hotspot in the Bay of Bengal, harbours several poorly studied and endemic reptile lineages.

The genus has appeared in phylogenetic analyses as a member of the subfamily Philodrominae, but there are conflicting hypotheses regarding its closest relatives. One analysis placed Gephyrellula among the Hawaiian genera Pedinopistha Karsch, 1880 and Pagiopalus Simon, 1900, whereas the other placed it among species of Philodromus Walckenaer, 1826. To further investigate the topic, we conducted new phylogenetic analyses using four molecular markers and including two terminals of Gephyrellula. The resulting trees support the division of the family into two subfamilies Thanatinae and Philodrominae, with Gephyrellula as a member of the latter. Our results place Gephyrellula neither as a member of the Hawaiian clade nor among the genus Philodromus, but instead as a separated lineage. In addition to the phylogenetic analysis, we describe a new species of the genus named Gephyrellula condeuba sp. nov., and provide new records of G. violacea, expanding the known distribution of the genus.","publicationDate":"2025-01-01","doi":"10.3897/evolsyst.9.143758","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/evolsyst.9.143758","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["BR"],"source_details":{"id":73,"name":"Evolutionary Systematics","slug":"evolutionary-systematics","issn_l":"2535-0730","openalex_id":"S4210215492","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210215492","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210215492","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://evolsyst.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/73/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/evolutionary-systematics/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-evolutionary-systematics.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-evolutionary-systematics.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Schinelli","Hector"],"keywords":["Running crab spiders"],"topics":["Spider Taxonomy and Behavior Studies","Lepidoptera: Biology and Taxonomy","Scarabaeidae Beetle Taxonomy and Biogeography"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4409234754","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/evolsyst.9.143758","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4409234754"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11736,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[96.56667,26.25]}]},"bbox":[96.56667,26.25,96.56667,26.25],"properties":{"title":"Protosiphonorhinus patrickmuelleri gen. et sp. nov., the first fossil member of the sucking millipede family Siphonorhinidae (Colobognatha, Siphonophorida) described from Cretaceous Myanmar amber","type":"article","abstract":"Millipedes (Diplopoda) are an abundant group of fossilized terrestrial arthropods throughout the Palaeozoic Era. However, there is a gap in the Mesozoic Period with only slightly more than a dozen fossils known, until more recent fossil records – mainly from Cenozoic Dominican and Baltic ambers – became available. Here, we describe a millipede of the family Siphonorhinidae from Myanmar amber, a species-poor group, comprising just six extant genera, disjunctly distributed in Southeast Asia, South Africa, Madagascar, Chile and California. Micro-computed tomography (µ-CT) enabled detailed visualizations of essential elements for description, including the tergites, legs, head, antenna, and notably the gonopods. The new genus shares some characteristics with species of the extant genus Siphonorhinus Pocock, 1894. Protosiphonorhinus patrickmuelleri gen. et sp. nov. differs from extant species of the family mainly in the shape of the antenna, tergites, and anterior gonopods. A recently described fossil species of Siphonophorida from Myanmar amber was erroneously assigned to the family Siphonorhinidae. We transfer it to the family Siphonophoridae, as Siphonophora globosa (Su, Cai & Huang, 2024) comb. nov. The description of the new genus and the reinterpretation of the previously described fossil Siphonorhinidae allows for a rejection of a hypothesis of bradytely within the Siphonorhinidae from the mid-Cretaceous to the present day.","publicationDate":"2025-01-01","doi":"10.3897/evolsyst.9.147291","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/evolsyst.9.147291","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["MM"],"source_details":{"id":73,"name":"Evolutionary

The only other species of Dendropsophus in the Chocó lowlands of Ecuador is D. gryllatus, an elusive species never included in phylogenetic analyses. In the present study, we review the systematics of both species based on morphological, genetic, and bioacoustic data. For phylogenetic analyses, we sequenced four mitochondrial genes (12S, 16S, COI, ND1, including flanking tRNAs) and two nuclear genes (TYR, POMC). Our results indicate that the populations of “D. ebraccatus” from the Chocó of Ecuador represent a new species, not most closely related to D. ebraccatus from Central America, but to D. gryllatus. The new species inhabits tropical rainforest and piedmont evergreen forest of NW Ecuador and SW Colombia. Populations of the new species differ from D. gryllatus by having larger body size and by the presence of an hourglass-shaped dorsal mark. The new species differs from D. ebraccatus from Central America by the absence of a clear band under the eye, by having well defined dorsal spots and by having a distinct advertisement call. Both species appear to be allopatric and, according to our time-tree, diverged from each other during the late Pliocene.","publicationDate":"2025-01-01","doi":"10.3897/evolsyst.9.135431","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/evolsyst.9.135431","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["EC"],"source_details":{"id":73,"name":"Evolutionary Systematics","slug":"evolutionary-systematics","issn_l":"2535-0730","openalex_id":"S4210215492","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210215492","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210215492","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://evolsyst.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/73/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/evolutionary-systematics/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-evolutionary-systematics.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-evolutionary-systematics.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Aguirre","Paula Doménica"],"keywords":["Advertisement calls"],"topics":["Amphibian and Reptile Biology","Species Distribution and Climate Change","Lepidoptera: Biology and Taxonomy"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4407845186","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/evolsyst.9.135431","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4407845186"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11730,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.49861,50.21917]}]},"bbox":[8.49861,50.21917,8.49861,50.21917],"properties":{"title":"The first DNA-supported record of Platicrista angustata (Eutardigrada, Hypsibiidae) from Germany and reply to Scheirer et al.

They play vital roles in food webs and contribute to ecosystem health. However, our understanding of their diversity remains limited, even from comparably well-studied regions of Europe. In this work, we summarise the available records on aquatic turbellarians from Hamburg, Germany, provide new records based on material obtained during exploratory collecting, and place selected species in a molecular phylogenetic context. We sampled four localities in Hamburg, two urban and two suburban, and three other localities in Germany and Switzerland, collecting submerged vegetation, litter, and mosses. Prior to our investigation, Hamburg had documented 26 species of aquatic turbellarians. Our collections have led to the first recorded instances of Stenostomum gotlandense and Castrella alba in Germany, along with four new species for Hamburg: Macrostomum rostratum, Microdalyellia schmidtii, Krumbachia hiemalis, and Polycelis tenuis. Additionally, we provide updated information for five species previously recorded from Hamburg: S. leucops, Prorhynchus stagnalis, Microdalyellia armigera, Gyratrix hermaphroditus, and Planaria torva. The phylogenetic analysis revealed cryptic diversity within S. grande and S. leucops, with S. grande comprising two distinct clades (Brazil and Japan + Germany), and S. leucops consisting of four clades (Sweden + Germany, two from Finland, and Brazil). One of the Finnish clades, S. leucops aquariorum, is both morphologically and molecularly distinct, and we recognise it as a valid species, now S. aquariorum. Future research is needed to further clarify the relationships of the remaining clades of these two species, particularly with material from their type localities in the United States. Among rhabdocoel microturbellarians, we identified cryptic diversity within Castrella truncata (with European and North American lineages) and Microdalyellia armigera (encompassing Finnish and Spanish lineages). We also provided the first molecular evidence supporting the monophyly of Krumbachia following the sequencing of K. hiemalis. Conversely, species of Bothromesostoma were found to be nested within a clade containing species of Mesostoma, leading us to propose synonymising these genera. Overall, our study underscores the rich biodiversity potential of urban and suburban ecosystems for detecting freshwater turbellarian species, while highlighting the need for further research in Hamburg and across Germany to clarify species distributions. Moreover, molecular phylogenetic analyses have uncovered cryptic diversity in several species of catenulids and rhabdocoels, emphasizing the importance of future efforts to describe potential new species.","publicationDate":"2024-01-01","doi":"10.3897/evolsyst.8.139468","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/evolsyst.8.139468","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["CH","DE"],"source_details":{"id":73,"name":"Evolutionary Systematics","slug":"evolutionary-systematics","issn_l":"2535-0730","openalex_id":"S4210215492","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210215492","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210215492","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://evolsyst.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/73/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/evolutionary-systematics/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-evolutionary-systematics.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-evolutionary-systematics.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Diez","Yander L."],"keywords":["Catenulida"],"topics":["Planarian Biology and Electrostimulation","Marine Ecology and Invasive Species","Marine and coastal plant biology"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4405572796","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/evolsyst.8.139468","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4405572796"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11726,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-43.35,-21.7639]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-42.8189,-22.9189]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-43.53,-23.0833]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-48.8458,-26.3039]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-47.6719,-23.2828]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-47.0269,-23.6847]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-47.119,-24.439]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-46.6786,-24.4917]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-45.6947,-24.1025]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-48.8758,-23.9819]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-48.4241,-24.1981]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-46.565,-23.6939]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-46.629,-23.546]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-48.0958,-24.2375]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-44.66,-22.94]}]},"bbox":[-48.8758,-26.3039,-42.8189,-21.7639],"properties":{"title":"Reidentification of a 19th century specimen reveals the first record of Amphisbaena hogei Vanzolini, 1950 (Squamata, Amphisbaenidae) in Minas Gerais, Brazil","type":"article","abstract":"For almost 60 years, a specimen of Amphisbaena collected in the 19th century by the Danish zoologist Johannes Theodor Reinhardt in southeastern Brazil has been identified as Amphisbaena prunicolor.

Body width, interorbital width, orbit diameter, preanal length, snout length, and the newly examined head width greatly contributed to the discrimination between L. torrentis, L. tokaiensis and L. nishimurai sp. nov. The new species can be distinguished from other congeners by combining the following characteristics: 1) eyes positioned dorsally on the head; 2) a narrow conspicuous longitudinal mark between the base of the outer rostral barbel and the eye; 3) small dark spots on the body, dorsal, and caudal fins; 4) a small dorsal fin and eye diameter; and 5) black spots above and below the base of the caudal fin. Based on the phylogenetic relationships of the genus, L. nishimurai sp. nov. is estimated to have diverged early from its common ancestor in central Japan. Understanding the natural history of this new species and implementing conservation measures are crucial because of its narrow, fragmented distribution and presence in vulnerable habitats.","publicationDate":"2024-01-01","doi":"10.3897/evolsyst.8.131002","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/evolsyst.8.131002","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["JP"],"source_details":{"id":73,"name":"Evolutionary Systematics","slug":"evolutionary-systematics","issn_l":"2535-0730","openalex_id":"S4210215492","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210215492","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210215492","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://evolsyst.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/73/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/evolutionary-systematics/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-evolutionary-systematics.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-evolutionary-systematics.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Katayama","Yuta"],"keywords":["endangered species"],"topics":["Genetic diversity and population structure","Identification and Quantification in Food","Fish Biology and Ecology Studies"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4402840816","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/evolsyst.8.131002","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4402840816"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11721,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-49.67056,-26.55111]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-50.67444,-26.57806]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-51.0125,-26.40694]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-51.26167,-26.41722]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-51.275,-26.41833]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-53.68306,-25.50917]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-52,-25.66667]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-49.53833,-26.33639]}]},"bbox":[-53.68306,-26.57806,-49.53833,-25.50917],"properties":{"title":"Top mountain areas of subtropical southern Brazil sheltering four new small-ranged catfishes (Siluriformes, Trichomycteridae): relationships and taxonomy","type":"article","abstract":"Mountainous regions typically host a great diversity of small-ranged species, often contributing for delineating world biodiversity hotspots.

This is particularly true for the most diverse animal class – the insects – with cryptic diversity, apart from vast species numbers, being one of the main factors that hamper the description of new species. The biodiversity hotspot Cape Floristic Region of South Africa harbors many endemic and yet undescribed insect species, inter alia, Orthoptera. In this study, extended depth of field and 3D imagery enabled for a novel assessment of the external morphological characteristics used for defining and describing the genetically highly diverse genus Betiscoides Sjösdtedt, 1924, leading to a new definition of the genus’ characteristics as well as a revision of character traits of the known species. Two new species are described and a key to all five recognized Betiscoides species is provided. Application standards are derived to enable replicable and reliable image acquisition and measuring. These findings shall contribute to promote efforts being made to establish image based taxonomic identification for researchers worldwide. High-resolution images provide the basis to train deep learning algorithms/ tools, to detect the smallest differences in highly morphologically alike species, and to implement this knowledge in global species monitoring and conservation action to prevent further species loss.","publicationDate":"2024-01-01","doi":"10.3897/evolsyst.8.117735","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/evolsyst.8.117735","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["ZA"],"source_details":{"id":73,"name":"Evolutionary Systematics","slug":"evolutionary-systematics","issn_l":"2535-0730","openalex_id":"S4210215492","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210215492","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210215492","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://evolsyst.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/73/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/evolutionary-systematics/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-evolutionary-systematics.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-evolutionary-systematics.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Matenaar","Daniela"],"keywords":["Image based taxonomy"],"topics":["Orthoptera Research and Taxonomy","Species Distribution and Climate Change","Ecology and Vegetation Dynamics Studies"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4393144845","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/evolsyst.8.117735","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4393144845"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11709,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-73.42161,7.006]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-73.19781,6.1072]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-75.99867,1.82023]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-78.7525,1.18236]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-79.76794,-3.65467]}]},"bbox":[-79.76794,-3.65467,-73.19781,7.006],"properties":{"title":"Systematic revision of the Eyelash Palm-Pitviper Bothriechis schlegelii (Serpentes, Viperidae), with the description of five new species and revalidation of three","type":"article","abstract":"We present a taxonomic review and systematic revision of the Eyelash Palm-Pitviper Bothriechis schlegelii (Berthold, 1846) based on examination of 400 museum specimens, a phylogeographic analysis of 818 locality records, and 80 individuals sampled for molecular characters.

In the present study, 1,175 pulmonate snails were collected between October 2021 and October 2022 from five provinces covering 34 locations in southern Thailand. Seven pulmonate snail species were identified based on shell morphology, including Amerianna carinata, Gyraulus bakeri, G. convexiusculus, G. hubendicki, Physella acuta, Indoplanorbis exustus, and Radix rubiginosa. Among these snails, eight species, and five types of cercariae were identified, viz. type (i) Echinostome cercariae consisted of Echinoparyphium recurvatum, Echinostoma spiniferum, and E. revolutum, type (ii) Brevifurcate-apharyngeate cercariae consisted of Schistosoma indicum and S. spindale, type (iii) Brevifurcate-pharyngeate-clinostomatoid-cercariae was represented by Clinostomum giganticum, type (iv) Longifurcate–pharyngeate cercariae (strigea cercaria) was Diplostomum baeri eucaliae, and type (v) Ophthalmoxiphidiocercaria.

Aspects of species delimitation within Chimerella and related future research are briefly addressed and discussed.","publicationDate":"2023-01-01","doi":"10.3897/evolsyst.7.102950","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/evolsyst.7.102950","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["PE"],"source_details":{"id":73,"name":"Evolutionary Systematics","slug":"evolutionary-systematics","issn_l":"2535-0730","openalex_id":"S4210215492","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210215492","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210215492","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://evolsyst.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/73/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/evolutionary-systematics/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-evolutionary-systematics.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-evolutionary-systematics.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Koehler","Joern"],"keywords":["Amphibia"],"topics":["Amphibian and Reptile Biology","Species Distribution and Climate Change","Bat Biology and Ecology Studies"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4376955688","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/evolsyst.7.102950","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4376955688"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11696,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-74.66018,-8.52736]}]},"bbox":[-74.66017,-8.52736,-74.66017,-8.52736],"properties":{"title":"Rising from the ashes: A new treefrog (Anura, Hylidae, Scinax) from a wildfire-threatened area in the Amazon lowlands of central Peru","type":"article","abstract":"We describe a new species of tree frog from the middle Ucayali River, Peru.

The genus Morondavania is monotypic and comprises one new species, while Shimbania comprises 13 species, of which 11 species are new to science.

The species S. dubiefi (Viette, 1974) is excluded from Saalmulleria, since it most probably represents another undescribed genus.

In Anatolia, this lineage meets several others, however, their occurrence is unclear, especially in the south-eastern Türkiye where the species is uncommon. Obtaining one specimen from the poorly studied Hakkâri Province (Zagros part of Türkiye), we investigated its genetic affiliation (mitochondrial DNA) and basic morphology. The specimen represents a unique haplotype of the mtDNA lineage 8, closely related to populations from Georgia and northern and north-eastern Türkiye. It thus extends the occurrence of this mitochondrial lineage representing subspecies Natrix natrix scutata (Pallas, 1771) southward to the northern edge of the Zagros Mountains. Despite the phenotype polymorphism of this species, the morphological comparison also confirmed that selected characters are similar to other populations of the region.","publicationDate":"2023-01-01","doi":"10.3897/evolsyst.7.89662","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/evolsyst.7.89662","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["AM","TR"],"source_details":{"id":73,"name":"Evolutionary Systematics","slug":"evolutionary-systematics","issn_l":"2535-0730","openalex_id":"S4210215492","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210215492","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210215492","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://evolsyst.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/73/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/evolutionary-systematics/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-evolutionary-systematics.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-evolutionary-systematics.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Jablonski","Daniel"],"keywords":["Anatolia"],"topics":["Genetic diversity and population structure","Amphibian and Reptile Biology","Identification and Quantification in Food"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4313518347","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/evolsyst.7.89662","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4313518347"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11685,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[88.48025,23.40114]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[87.84586,23.25106]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[87.69186,24.24461]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[87.73894,24.24983]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[88.75714,22.08878]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[88.84625,22.12361]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[88.82919,22.13694]}]},"bbox":[87.69186,22.08878,88.84625,24.24983],"properties":{"title":"Five new Indian species of the genus Dasyhelea Kieffer (Diptera, Ceratopogonidae) with a key to the adult males","type":"article","abstract":"Five new species of biting midges, Dasyhelea (Dasyhelea) incisura sp. nov., D.

The position of the eyes, the number of crop caeca and the gonopores separated by two annuli indicate that both belong to the genus Alboglossiphonia. Alboglossiphonia afroalpina sp. nov. differs from the other African species in its elongated body shape, the shape and size of the suckers and above all by the unique spotting on the dorsal side, which is not found in any other species of the genus. Alboglossiphonia afroalpina sp. nov. inhabits the alpine zones of the Mt. Kenya and Mt. Elgon massifs and represents the highest record of a leech in Africa to date, approx 4,500 m above sea level. Alboglossiphonia buniana sp. nov. differs from other species of the genus by its completely fused pairs of eyes, the shape and size of the cranial sucker and the head area and a jagged outer margin. The species is only known from Bunia in northeastern Democratic Republic of Congo.        Eleven species of the genus Alboglossiphonia are known from Africa, belonging to different zoogeographical areas. Northwest Africa is home to Alboglossiphonia hyalina (O.F. Müller, 1774) and A. iberica Jueg, 2008 as Palaearctic species. Alboglossiphonia polypompholyx Oosthuizen, Hussein & El-Shimy, 1988, A. disuqi El-Shimy, 1990 and A. levis Gouda, 2010 are restricted to the lower reaches of the Nile in Egypt. Six species exist south of the Sahara: Alboglossiphonia namaquaensis (Augener, 1936), A. disjuncta (Moore, 1939), A. conjugata (Oosthuizen, 1978), A. macrorhyncha (Oosthuizen, 1978) as well as those described here, A. afroalpina sp. nov. and A. buniana sp. nov. The examination of the three syntypes of Alboglossiphonia namaquaensis (Augener, 1936) showed that this species is identical to A. cheili (Oosthuizen 1978) and that the latter must be used as a synonym in future. Historical evidence from the Central Africa Museum in Tervuren (Belgium) from the Sciacchitano Collection and the British Museum of Natural History was examined. The systematic position of Glossiphonia verrucata Sciacchitano, 1939 was also clarified. Almost all species were photographed for the first time, most of them including their holotype. Distribution maps are presented for all species. All African Alboglossiphonia species are compared in terms of their characteristics in tabular form.","publicationDate":"2023-01-01","doi":"10.3897/evolsyst.7.94507","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/evolsyst.7.94507","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["KE"],"source_details":{"id":73,"name":"Evolutionary

A total of 359 cases with cercarial dermatitis were confirmed with three cases of skin biopsy. The species of potential trematodes from infected snails were investigated, and the prevalence of infestation with schistosomes was described. As part of our ongoing studies of trematode diversity in freshwater systems, using morphological traits and sequence data to differentiate species, this study aimed to provide insights into the parasite species that cause cercarial dermatitis in the outbreak area and improve our understanding of parasite species distribution. Snail samples were collected in December 2020 and September and October 2021. Five main areas of outbreaks were investigated, and snails were collected by scooping and examined for infection with cercariae. The cercariae were characterized on the basis of morphological features. We found two species of snails to be infected, viz. Indoplanorbis exustus and Bithynia siamensis siamensis, with infection rates of 2.05% (12/586) and 7.93% (23/290), respectively. Three species of trematodes were found in B. s. siamensis, viz. Gastrothylax crumenifer, Astiotrema monticellii, and Loxogenes liberum. Moreover, three species of trematodes were found in Indoplanorbis exustus, viz. Clinostomum giganticum, Echinostoma spiniferum, and Schistosoma indicum. The latter is a ruminant schistosome, which causes the outbreak of cercarial dermatitis in the area. They were genetically analyzed using the internal transcribed spacer subunit II region to confirm the species identity at generic and infrageneric levels.","publicationDate":"2022-01-01","doi":"10.3897/evolsyst.6.87670","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/evolsyst.6.87670","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["TH"],"source_details":{"id":73,"name":"Evolutionary Systematics","slug":"evolutionary-systematics","issn_l":"2535-0730","openalex_id":"S4210215492","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210215492","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210215492","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://evolsyst.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/73/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/evolutionary-systematics/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-evolutionary-systematics.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-evolutionary-systematics.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Krailas","Duangduen"],"keywords":["Schistosoma indicum"],"topics":["Parasite Biology and Host Interactions","Helminth infection and control","Parasites and Host Interactions"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4290767954","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/evolsyst.6.87670","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4290767954"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11679,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[46.26639,31.15]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[47.75122,30.56083]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[43.65,30.8]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[46.30197,31.02847]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[47.42288,30.70232]}]},"bbox":[43.65,30.56083,47.75122,31.15],"properties":{"title":"New data on Gnaphosidae (Arachnida, Araneae) of Iraq","type":"article","abstract":"New faunistic data are provided on the ground spiders (Araneae: Gnaphosidae) of Iraq.

five species, all known from both sexes: Leviana dimidiata (L.

Male pedipalp morphology, specifically the presence of a single patella spine and the median apophysis forming an arch over the radix, place Leviana gen. nov. in the informal Australian ‘backobourkiine’ clade; however, the genus differs from all other genera of this group by the presence of a spine inside the basal median apophysis arch of the male pedipalp, an epigyne that is wider than long with a scape that is approximately as long as the epigyne (but often broken off) and a lack of humeral humps on the elongate ovoid abdomen. In addition, unlike any other backobourkiine, Leviana gen. nov. incorporate a rolled leaf as retreat into the periphery of their web. Leviana gen. nov. species exhibit only a moderate sexual size dimorphism with female to male ratios between 1.3 and 1.7. Leviana gen. nov. occurs in eastern Australia from northern Queensland in the north to Victoria in the south, with a single tropical species, L. mulieraria comb. nov., spreading into northern Western Australia.","publicationDate":"2022-01-01","doi":"10.3897/evolsyst.6.83573","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/evolsyst.6.83573","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["AU"],"source_details":{"id":73,"name":"Evolutionary Systematics","slug":"evolutionary-systematics","issn_l":"2535-0730","openalex_id":"S4210215492","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210215492","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210215492","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://evolsyst.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/73/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/evolutionary-systematics/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-evolutionary-systematics.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-evolutionary-systematics.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Framenau","Volker W."],"keywords":["Taxonomy"],"topics":["Spider Taxonomy and Behavior Studies","Fossil Insects in Amber","Hymenoptera taxonomy and phylogeny"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4285088396","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/evolsyst.6.83573","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4285088396"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11676,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[89.27,22.15778]}]},"bbox":[89.27,22.15778,89.27,22.15778],"properties":{"title":"Descriptions of two new species of Culicoides Latreille from Sundarbans, India with an adult key to the ornatus species group of the Oriental region (Diptera, Ceratopogonidae)","type":"article","abstract":"Two new species of biting midges, Culicoides cornatus sp. nov. and Culicoides pileus sp. nov. are described based on adults.

Until now, the records of Mindomys were restricted to western Andean foothills. The material from Kutukú highlights an Amazonian species and reinforces the valuable biological significance of isolated mountain ranges in eastern Ecuador.

Hortophora gen. nov. includes medium-sized to large, nocturnal orb-weaving spiders typically with subtriangular to ovoid abdomen bearing humeral humps. The tibiae of the second leg in males is usually enlarged with numerous strong spines and an apico-ventral megaspur carrying a large spine in some species. Male pedipalps generally have an elongated, transverse median apophysis ending in a bifid tip in most species, a sinuous to straight embolus and a bubble-shaped terminal apophysis. The female epigyne scape is highly elongated and does not have a terminal pocket. Genital mutilation, i.e. breaking off the epigyne scape during copulation, is common in some species. Hortophora gen. nov. include the most frequently collected nocturnal orb-weaving spiders in Australia.","publicationDate":"2021-01-01","doi":"10.3897/evolsyst.5.72474","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/evolsyst.5.72474","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["AU","FJ","NC","NF"],"source_details":{"id":73,"name":"Evolutionary Systematics","slug":"evolutionary-systematics","issn_l":"2535-0730","openalex_id":"S4210215492","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210215492","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210215492","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://evolsyst.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/73/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/evolutionary-systematics/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-evolutionary-systematics.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-evolutionary-systematics.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Framenau","Volker W."],"keywords":["Taxonomy"],"topics":["Spider Taxonomy and Behavior Studies","Lepidoptera: Biology and Taxonomy","Hymenoptera taxonomy and phylogeny"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W3209201933","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/evolsyst.5.72474","mag":"3209201933","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W3209201933"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11662,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[76.11938,32.83547]}]},"bbox":[76.11938,32.83547,76.11938,32.83547],"properties":{"title":"A new species of snake of the genus Oligodon Boie in Fitzinger, 1826 (Reptilia, Serpentes) from the Western Himalayas","type":"article","abstract":"A new species of Oligodon Fitzinger, 1826 is described based on specimens collected from Churah Valley of Himachal Pradesh. The new species is related to O. arnensis based on molecular as well as morphological data, however differs from it in several aspects. The new species shows a pairwise sequence divergence of 6–20% from congeners for mitochondrial cytochrome b gene. Lack of pterygoid and palatine teeth of the new species suggests that the diet may largely comprise of eggs. Discovery of the new species is not surprising, as the Western Himalayas has been poorly explored in terms of its herpetofaunal diversity. Considerable genetic divergence in the sampled sequence suggests Oligodon arnensis is a species complex, likely represents multiple species and a revision of the group would be desirable.","publicationDate":"2021-01-01","doi":"10.3897/evolsyst.5.72564","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/evolsyst.5.72564","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["IN"],"source_details":{"id":73,"name":"Evolutionary Systematics","slug":"evolutionary-systematics","issn_l":"2535-0730","openalex_id":"S4210215492","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210215492","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210215492","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://evolsyst.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/73/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/evolutionary-systematics/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-evolutionary-systematics.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-evolutionary-systematics.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Mirza","Zeeshan"],"keywords":["Colubridae"],"topics":["Amphibian and Reptile Biology","Bat Biology and Ecology Studies","Species Distribution and Climate Change"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W3208149715","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/evolsyst.5.72564","mag":"3208149715","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W3208149715"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11660,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-75.89258,-9.59269]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-75.84917,-9.64453]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-75.88919,-9.59825]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-76.01704,-9.53792]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-75.83052,-9.62955]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-75.90359,-9.58132]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-75.95426,-9.61341]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-75.84397,-9.6613]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-75.9926,-9.42029]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-75.98717,-9.37134]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-76.47889,-8.8685]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-76.47275,-8.86542]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-76.46907,-8.85878]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-76.43629,-8.79112]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-76.41523,-8.76436]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-76.4694,-8.85859]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-76.44991,-8.80828]}]},"bbox":[-76.47889,-9.6613,-75.83052,-8.76436],"properties":{"title":"A new species of wood lizard (Hoplocercinae, Enyalioides) from the Río Huallaga Basin in Central Peru","type":"article","abstract":"We report the discovery of a new species of Enyalioides from the premontane forest of the Río Huallaga basin in central Peru.

Nonetheless, its precise phylogenetic and systematic position has remained unresolved due to the lack of molecular sequence data. During a herpetological expedition to Arunachal Pradesh, specimens of P. austeniana were collected from the hills near the type locality. The mitochondrial 16S rRNA, ND2 and ND4, and the nuclear RAG1 regions were subjected to molecular phylogenetics. Maximum Likelihood and Bayesian Inference gene trees revealed that P. austeniana is a member of the subfamily Draconinae. The analyses showed that the genus Pseudocalotes is polyphyletic, and P. austeniana was embedded within the genus Japalura Gray, 1853 sensu stricto.

The specimen was caught on the 12th of September 2019 in Tatenberg, Hamburg. It was morphologically and genetically clearly determined as C. leucodon. This find represents the first confirmed record of C. leucodon for the federal state of Hamburg and increases the number of shrew species recorded in Hamburg to five. The Red List status of the species will have to be reevaluated.","publicationDate":"2021-01-01","doi":"10.3897/evolsyst.5.67302","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/evolsyst.5.67302","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["DE"],"source_details":{"id":73,"name":"Evolutionary Systematics","slug":"evolutionary-systematics","issn_l":"2535-0730","openalex_id":"S4210215492","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210215492","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210215492","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://evolsyst.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/73/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/evolutionary-systematics/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-evolutionary-systematics.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-evolutionary-systematics.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Klesser","Robert"],"keywords":["Citizen Science"],"topics":["Species Distribution and Climate Change","Bat Biology and Ecology Studies","Ecology and Vegetation Dynamics Studies"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W3164667246","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/evolsyst.5.67302","mag":"3164667246","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W3164667246"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11651,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[57.48333,-20.36667]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[115.49139,-8.27639]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[97.43333,2.16667]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[127.40306,0.66306]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[124.89917,1.26472]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[124.82278,1.16722]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[116.07833,5.98167]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[103.89,1.36083]}]},"bbox":[57.48333,-20.36667,127.40306,5.98167],"properties":{"title":"Echiniscidae in the Mascarenes: the wonders of Mauritius","type":"article","abstract":"Many regions of the world remain unexplored in terms of the tardigrade diversity, and the islands of the Indian Ocean are no exception.

The new species most closely resembles Echiniscus tropicalis Binda & Pilato, 1995, for which we present extensive multipopulation data and greatly extend its distribution eastwards towards islands of Southeast Asia. Pseudechiniscus (Meridioniscus) mascarenensis sp. nov. is a typical member of the subgenus with elongated (dactyloid) cephalic papillae and the pseudosegmental plate IV’ with reduced posterior projections in males.

This work increases the species diversity of the O. aeneus complex to eight, and we expect further increases in biodiversity discoveries with continued exploration of the New World vine snakes.","publicationDate":"2021-01-01","doi":"10.3897/evolsyst.5.60626","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/evolsyst.5.60626","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["BR","PE"],"source_details":{"id":73,"name":"Evolutionary Systematics","slug":"evolutionary-systematics","issn_l":"2535-0730","openalex_id":"S4210215492","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210215492","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210215492","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://evolsyst.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/73/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/evolutionary-systematics/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-evolutionary-systematics.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-evolutionary-systematics.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Jadin","Robert"],"keywords":["Amazon"],"topics":["Amphibian and Reptile Biology","Insect and Arachnid Ecology and Behavior","Species Distribution and Climate Change"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W3120288095","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/evolsyst.5.60626","mag":"3120288095","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W3120288095"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11641,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[77.21097,13.37578]}]},"bbox":[77.21097,13.37578,77.21097,13.37578],"properties":{"title":"On the taxonomy and systematics of the recently described Lycodon deccanensis Ganesh, Deuti, Punith, Achyuthan, Mallik, Adhikari, Vogel, 2020 (Serpentes, Colubridae) from India","type":"article","abstract":"Lycodon deccanensis Ganesh, Deuti, Punith, Achyuthan, Mallik, Adhikari, Vogel, 2020 was recently described from the Mysore plateau of Karnataka based solely on morphology but lacking in-depth descriptions and comparisons.

Although this ancient arachnid group is relatively small (ca. 2400 species) and has been continuously studied for the past century, the taxonomy is still in a state of flux and the correct identification of species often remains difficult. With more than 725 species and 9000 specimens, the Zoological Museum in Hamburg (ZMH) holds one of the largest and most significant scorpion collections in the world. This collection also contains many historical types described by Karl Kraepelin in the early 20th century. In order to contribute to a more stable scorpion taxonomy and to assist future scorpion researchers, we present an illustrated and annotated catalogue of the ZMH scorpion collections. The type specimens of 89 species belonging to 10 families are documented, imaged and assessed alongside their primary data. For practical reasons, only the taxa belonging to the parvorder Iurida Soleglad et Fet, 2003 are presented here whilst the Parvorder Buthida Soleglad et Fet, 2003 will be catalogued in a second publication.","publicationDate":"2019-01-01","doi":"10.3897/evolsyst.3.37464","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/evolsyst.3.37464","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["AF","AR","AU","BO","BR","CD","CL","CM","CO","CR","CW","DZ","EC","ID","IN","IQ","KE","MG","MM","MZ","NA","NC","OM","PE","PG","PH","PK","SN","SO","TZ","US","YE","ZA"],"source_details":{"id":73,"name":"Evolutionary Systematics","slug":"evolutionary-systematics","issn_l":"2535-0730","openalex_id":"S4210215492","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210215492","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210215492","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://evolsyst.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/73/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/evolutionary-systematics/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-evolutionary-systematics.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-evolutionary-systematics.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Monod","Lionel"],"keywords":["arachnology"],"topics":["Venomous Animal Envenomation and Studies","Spider Taxonomy and Behavior Studies","Subterranean biodiversity and taxonomy"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2989220874","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/evolsyst.3.37464","mag":"2989220874","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W2989220874"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11626,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[49.6203,-15.2899]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[49.6042,-15.5775]}]},"bbox":[49.6042,-15.5775,49.6203,-15.2899],"properties":{"title":"A new yellow-toed Platypelis species (Anura, Microhylidae, Cophylinae) from the Maroantsetra region, northeastern Madagascar","type":"article","abstract":"We describe a new species of arboreal narrow-mouthed frog, genus Platypelis, from Ambodivoangy near Maroantsetra in northeastern Madagascar. The new species, Platypelis ando sp. nov., is characterised by small body size (under 19 mm), a generally rather slender body, yellowish finger and toe tips, and a dark brown dorsal chevron. Its advertisement call is a single, moderately long, high-pitched whistle repeated at regular intervals. It is the sister species of P. ravus from Marojejy National Park, but differs from that species by considerable pairwise genetic distances (7.9%) in a fragment of the mitochondrial 16S rRNA gene, and also in bioacoustic and morphological features, especially the absence of yellow on the posterior abdomen. It is also surprisingly similar in external appearance to Cophyla occultans and C. maharipeo, to which it is not, however, closely related; these species are most easily discerned based on their calls. Platypelis ando sp. nov. joins the ranks of several species recently described from Ambodivoangy with close affiliations to species in the nearby Marojejy National Park, that are still divergent at species level. The species qualifies as Critically Endangered according to the IUCN Red List criteria, in line with other species recently assessed from this area, but we urge that more research be conducted in the nearby forests to extend the range of this and other species known only from Ambodivoangy.","publicationDate":"2019-01-01","doi":"10.3897/evolsyst.3.33417","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/evolsyst.3.33417","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["MG"],"source_details":{"id":73,"name":"Evolutionary Systematics","slug":"evolutionary-systematics","issn_l":"2535-0730","openalex_id":"S4210215492","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210215492","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210215492","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://evolsyst.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/73/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/evolutionary-systematics/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-evolutionary-systematics.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-evolutionary-systematics.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Scherz","Mark D."],"keywords":["Amphibia"],"topics":["Amphibian and Reptile Biology","Species Distribution and Climate Change","Lepidoptera: Biology and Taxonomy"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2955483987","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/evolsyst.3.33417","mag":"2955483987","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W2955483987"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11625,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[4.86806,60.63]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[4.86806,60.63011]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.09722,64.16972]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[7.42333,63.57278]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[5.58806,62.50833]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[7.41972,63.57833]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[4.46306,62.36917]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[6.65389,63.31361]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[3.03306,62.74833]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[11.76611,79.01722]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[21.31667,78.21667]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[13.12556,78.14861]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[19.15528,81.02944]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[15.56,78.23]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[22.14139,80.10861]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[11.08333,79.11806]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-12.34667,66.289]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[30.94361,70.5825]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-18.98333,74.6]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-25.053,66.0005]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-24.53283,66.64333]}]},"bbox":[-25.053,60.63,30.94361,81.02944],"properties":{"title":"The genus Syrrhoe (Crustacea, Amphipoda, Synopiidae) from the North Atlantic","type":"article","abstract":"Three species of the amphipod genus Syrrhoe are described from the North Atlantic.

Consequently, the genus mainly occurs east and west along the Great Dividing Range, although some species can be found into the Riverina, Cobar Peneplain and Darling Riverine Plains IBRA regions to the west.","publicationDate":"2018-01-01","doi":"10.3897/evolsyst.2.30778","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/evolsyst.2.30778","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["AU"],"source_details":{"id":73,"name":"Evolutionary Systematics","slug":"evolutionary-systematics","issn_l":"2535-0730","openalex_id":"S4210215492","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210215492","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210215492","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://evolsyst.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/73/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/evolutionary-systematics/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-evolutionary-systematics.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-evolutionary-systematics.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Framenau","Volker W."],"keywords":["Taxonomy"],"topics":["Spider Taxonomy and Behavior Studies","Lepidoptera: Biology and Taxonomy","Animal Behavior and Reproduction"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2906783196","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/evolsyst.2.30778","mag":"2906783196","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W2906783196"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11616,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[55.16667,22.86667]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[54.1,23.83333]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[54.08333,23.85]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[54.05,23.85]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[54.06667,23.85]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[55.38333,23.86667]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[55.35,23.86667]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[55.36667,23.86667]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[55.18333,22.9]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[55.16667,22.9]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[55.36667,23.88333]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[55.41667,23.88333]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[55.16667,22.88333]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[55.03333,22.88333]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[55.16667,24.65]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[55.13333,24.65]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[55.01667,24.65]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[55.15,24.65]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[55.05,24.66667]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[55.65,24]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[52.61667,24]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[52.56667,23.93333]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[52.55,23.93333]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[55.01667,24.71667]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[55.11667,24.63333]}]},"bbox":[52.55,22.86667,55.65,24.71667],"properties":{"title":"The spider genus Pterotricha Kulczyński, 1903 (Araneae, Gnaphosidae) in the United Arab Emirates","type":"article","abstract":"Spiders of the gnaphosid genus Pterotricha Kulczyński, 1903 occurring in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) are surveyed on the basis of a large collection deposited in the American Museum of Natural History.

The results of our expedition suggest that nine more species are present at MBCA than reported by previous studies. We present an updated list of known species in the MBCA, comprising 61 species. The species accumulation curve over the 14 days period of the core survey did not show signs of asymptotic saturation.

Currently, there are two accepted species, K. peckorum Giribet, 2003 and K. sierwaldae Giribet, 2003, both with type localities within the Warren National Park. We obtained 65 COI mtDNA sequences from across the entire distributional range of the genus. These sequences, falling into two to three geographically separate groups, probably correspond to two species. Morphologically, all of the studied specimens correspond to K. peckorum, suggesting cryptic speciation within that species. A few common haplotypes occur in more than one population, but most haplotypes are confined to a single population. As a result, populations are genetically differentiated and gene flow after initial colonization appears to be very limited or completely lacking. Our study provides another example of short-range endemism in an invertebrate from the south-western mesic biome.","publicationDate":"2018-01-01","doi":"10.3897/evolsyst.2.25274","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/evolsyst.2.25274","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["AU"],"source_details":{"id":73,"name":"Evolutionary Systematics","slug":"evolutionary-systematics","issn_l":"2535-0730","openalex_id":"S4210215492","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210215492","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210215492","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://evolsyst.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/73/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/evolutionary-systematics/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-evolutionary-systematics.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-evolutionary-systematics.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Schwentner","Martin"],"keywords":["biodiversity"],"topics":["Environmental DNA in Biodiversity Studies","Subterranean biodiversity and taxonomy","Aquatic Invertebrate Ecology and Behavior"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2809757686","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/evolsyst.2.25274","mag":"2809757686","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W2809757686"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11609,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[79.98472,9.60722]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[79.875,8.17083]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[80.59924,7.28246]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[79.70111,9.08222]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[80.96564,6.74678]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[80.3425,7.23667]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[80.63861,7.23722]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[80.85861,7.33611]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[80.64139,7.29917]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[80.63028,7.28333]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[80.67444,7.85944]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[80.73806,7.52833]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[80.67222,7.53778]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[80.68833,7.66028]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[81.05036,6.86456]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[81.53778,7.045]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[80.50404,8.35294]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[81.533,7.43539]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[80.375,7.47139]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[80.37268,7.48645]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[80.27972,6.85472]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[80.24778,6.44306]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[80.83333,7.36111]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[80.6525,7.27722]}]},"bbox":[79.70111,6.44306,81.53778,9.60722],"properties":{"title":"Taxonomic descriptions of nine new species of the goblin spider genera Cavisternum, Grymeus, Ischnothyreus, Opopaea, Pelicinus and Silhouettella (Araneae, Oonopidae) from Sri Lanka","type":"article","abstract":"Nine new species of goblin spiders are described in six different genera: Cavisternum bom n. sp., Grymeus dharmapriyai n. sp., Ischnothyreus chippy n. sp., Opopaea spinosiscorona n. sp., Pelicinus snooky n. sp., P. tumpy n. sp., Silhouettella saaristoi n. sp., S. snippy n. sp. and S. tiggy n. sp.

The genus includes large (total length 9.5–25.0 mm), uniformly grey-coloured wolf spiders with unique genital morphology, i.e. the ventral ridge of the tegular apophysis in the male pedipalp is comparatively sharp and situated towards its retrolateral edge, and the distinct anterior hood of the female epigyne is continuous with the inverted T-shaped median septum. Unlike most other members of the Lycosinae in Australia, the Grey Wolf Spider closes its burrow with a plug-like trapdoor. The species can be found in south-eastern mainland Australia (Queensland, New South Wales, Australian Capital Territory, Victoria, South Australia) and Tasmania.

Such studies often focus on adults, but juveniles can provide additional insight on spinning apparatus development and character polarity. Here we document and describe spinning fields at all stadia in two species of pirate spider (Mimetidae: Australomimetus spinosus, A. djuka). Pirate spiders nest within the ecribellate orb-building spiders (Araneoidea), but are vagrant, araneophagic members that do not build prey-capture webs. Correspondingly, they lack aggregate and flagelliform silk glands (AG, FL), specialized for forming prey-capture lines in araneoid orb webs. However, occasional possible vestiges of an AG or FL spigot, as observed in one juvenile A. spinosus specimen, are consistent with secondary loss of AG and FL. By comparing spigots from one stadium to tartipores from the next stadium, silk glands can be divided into those that are tartipore-accommodated (T-A), and thus functional during proecdysis, and those that are not (non-T-A). Though evidence was more extensive in A. spinosus, it was likely true for both species that the number of non-T-A piriform silk glands (PI) was constant (two pairs) through all stadia, while numbers of T-API rose incrementally. The two species differed in that A. spinosus had T-A minor ampullate and aciniform silk glands (MiA, AC) that were absent in A. djuka. First instars of A. djuka, however, appeared to retain vestiges of T-AMiA spigots, consistent with a plesiomorphic state in which T-AMiA (called secondary MiA) are present. T-AAC have not previously been observed in Australomimetus and the arrangement of their spigots on posterior lateral spinnerets was unlike that seen thus far in other mimetid genera. Though new AC and T-API apparently form throughout much of a spider’s ontogeny, recurring spigot/tartipore arrangements indicated that AC and PI, after functioning during one stadium, were used again in each subsequent stadium (if non-T-A) or in alternate subsequent stadia (if T-A). In A. spinosus, sexual and geographic dimorphisms involving AC were noted. Cylindrical silk gland (CY) spigots were observed in mid-to-late juvenile, as well as adult, females of both species. Their use in juveniles, however, should not be assumed and only adult CY spigots had wide openings typical of mimetids. Neither species exhibited two pairs of modified PI spigots present in some adult male mimetids.","publicationDate":"2017-01-01","doi":"10.3897/evolsyst.1.14765","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/evolsyst.1.14765","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["AU"],"source_details":{"id":73,"name":"Evolutionary Systematics","slug":"evolutionary-systematics","issn_l":"2535-0730","openalex_id":"S4210215492","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210215492","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210215492","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://evolsyst.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/73/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/evolutionary-systematics/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-evolutionary-systematics.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-evolutionary-systematics.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Townley","Mark A."],"keywords":["Pirate spider MimetidaeAustralomimetus spinneret spinning field molting silk gland tartipore"],"topics":["Spider Taxonomy and Behavior Studies","Silk-based biomaterials and applications","Animal Behavior and Reproduction"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2775897037","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/evolsyst.1.14765","mag":"2775897037","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W2775897037"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11596,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[121.56694,-30.74472]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[116.72072,-22.28226]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[116.86992,-22.53817]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[116.8501,-22.70868]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[117.02834,-22.60098]}]},"bbox":[116.72071,-30.74472,121.56694,-22.28226],"properties":{"title":"A new species of Mouse Spider (Actinopodidae, Missulena) from the Goldfields region of Western Australia","type":"article","abstract":"A new species of Mouse Spider (family Actinopodidae Simon, 1892), Missulena harewoodi, is described from near the City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder in the Goldfields region of Western Australia.

Amongst the extreme events linked to warming, heatwaves are of growing concern, yet their ecological effects on the functioning of Mediterranean aquatic systems remain poorly investigated. We present a methodological framework designed by the Project “a warmer Future world: effects on plankton commUnities and paThogens in Mediterranean vUlneRable Ecosystems (FUTURE)“ to study how natural plankton communities respond to abrupt and sustained thermal stress. The approach targets on entire plankton communities, from bacteria to zooplankton, integrates laboratory experiments and field monitoring activities and combines classical techniques with molecular tools to capture changes in biodiversity, food web size-structure and the occurrence of potentially pathogenic and antibiotic-resistant bacteria. We selected two diverse aquatic ecosystems in the western Mediterranean as case studies: an artificial lake, an important source for drinking water and a coastal lagoon vital for fishery, both of high ecological and economic importance. By applying controlled experimental simulations with ecological relevance, the framework provides a replicable approach to investigate plankton community-level responses to heatwaves. This methodological contribution provides a comparative framework for vulnerable Mediterranean ecosystems and promotes standardised approaches to assess the impacts of extreme climate-driven events. The scalable and reproducible protocol presented here fills a critical regional knowledge gap and will support the effective management of climate-sensitive aquatic ecosystems.","publicationDate":"2026-01-01","doi":"10.3897/oneeco.11.e183254","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/oneeco.11.e183254","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["IT"],"source_details":{"id":72,"name":"One Ecosystem","slug":"one-ecosystem","issn_l":"2367-8194","openalex_id":"S4210213968","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210213968","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210213968","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://oneecosystem.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/72/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/one-ecosystem/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-one-ecosystem.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-one-ecosystem.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Pulina","Silvia"],"keywords":["heatwaves"],"topics":["Marine Invertebrate Physiology and Ecology","Microbial Community Ecology and Physiology","Aquatic Ecosystems and Phytoplankton Dynamics"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W7133670107","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/oneeco.11.e183254","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W7133670107"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11552,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[23.31583,42.20056]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[23.31833,42.20611]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[23.32333,42.20667]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[23.32556,42.21083]}]},"bbox":[23.31583,42.20056,23.32556,42.21083],"properties":{"title":"Restoration of high-mountain lakes: effects on nutrient concentrations and biological communities","type":"article","abstract":"Lakes worldwide are under severe pressure from increasing anthropogenic impacts and global warming, creating a growing demand for restoration efforts and sustainable lake management strategies. However, there has been limited practice in restoring high-altitude lakes, particularly those under protected status. This paper focuses on passed lake restoration with special emphasis on the effects of restoration on lake ecosystems. Restoration efforts in four lakes within Rila National Park, Bulgaria, were carried out in two steps: macrophyte harvesting followed by sediment removal. These were immediately followed by a monitoring programme to evaluate the effects of human activities. The most significant effects on nutrient concentrations (PO4-P, NO3-N, TP and TN) and chlorophyll-a levels were observed one week after the restoration, with these effects diminishing one year later. Changes in bacterial metabolism were characterised by a reduction in metabolic activity, a shift from preferential utilisation of carbohydrates and polymers to an increased use of carboxylic acids and a decrease in functional richness and diversity, followed by partial recovery. Some of the changes observed in lake environments and biotic components were attributed to seasonal shifts, while others were linked to the implementation of human activities. We conclude that the initial steps of lake restoration were effective, with minimal to negligible environmental impact. However, the long-term effectiveness of restoration remains uncertain, so the monitoring programme will continue to address still unresolved questions, particularly to distinguish between seasonal and anthropogenic effects on ecosystems.","publicationDate":"2025-01-01","doi":"10.3897/oneeco.10.e153673","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/oneeco.10.e153673","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["BG"],"source_details":{"id":72,"name":"One Ecosystem","slug":"one-ecosystem","issn_l":"2367-8194","openalex_id":"S4210213968","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210213968","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210213968","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://oneecosystem.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/72/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/one-ecosystem/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-one-ecosystem.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-one-ecosystem.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Boteva","Silvena"],"keywords":["lake restoration"],"topics":["Aquatic Ecosystems and Phytoplankton Dynamics","Diatoms and Algae Research","Freshwater macroinvertebrate diversity and ecology"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4411107792","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/oneeco.10.e153673","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4411107792"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11540,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[70.52694,41.92608]}]},"bbox":[70.52694,41.92608,70.52694,41.92608],"properties":{"title":"A comparison of valuation methods for cultural ecosystem services in support of ecosystem accounting","type":"article","abstract":"Assigning an economic value to cultural ecosystem services is important to promote their sustainable and rational use. Valuation of such services requires a non-market approach as they are not traded on markets and, thus, have no directly observable market price. The System of Environmental-Economic Accounting – Ecosystem Accounting (SEEA-EA) aims to develop a systematic approach to value ecosystem services aligned with the valuation approach of the national accounts. However, valuing cultural services in SEEA-EA is challenging and different approaches have been developed. In this study, we compare four prominent approaches for valuing cultural ecosystem services: resource rent, travel cost method, simulated exchange value and consumer expenditure. We test and compare these methods in a case study of Ugam Chatkal State Nature National Park in Uzbekistan and examine to what degree the methods are aligned with accounting valuation principles. We note that the methods assess value in a different way and, accordingly, we find considerable differences amongst approaches in recreational value: values ranged between US$1.62M and US$65.19M annually. The lowest value was provided by the resource rent approach and the highest value by the travel cost method including consumer surplus. This latter method is not aligned with SEEA-EA accounting; however, even the three methods that are aligned with accounting principles provide quite different value estimates. The two other approaches, simulated exchange value and consumer expenditure, provided an annual value of US$24.46M and US$13.5M, respectively. We find that a resource rent method is likely to underestimate the 'true' value of the service when used for accounting and that the simulated exchange value method seems to be best aligned with the valuation needs for cultural services for SEEA-EA.","publicationDate":"2025-01-01","doi":"10.3897/oneeco.10.e108556","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/oneeco.10.e108556","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["UZ"],"source_details":{"id":72,"name":"One Ecosystem","slug":"one-ecosystem","issn_l":"2367-8194","openalex_id":"S4210213968","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210213968","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210213968","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://oneecosystem.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/72/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/one-ecosystem/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-one-ecosystem.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-one-ecosystem.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Bronzes","Anna"],"keywords":["ecosystem accounting"],"topics":["Land Use and Ecosystem Services","Economic and Environmental Valuation","Urban Planning and Valuation"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4406531203","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/oneeco.10.e108556","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4406531203"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11538,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[28.56667,43.73333]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[28.46667,43.35]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[28.05,43.33333]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[27.91667,43.21667]}]},"bbox":[27.91667,43.21667,28.56667,43.73333],"properties":{"title":"Rethinking the landslide risk assessment for socio-ecological systems using the example of the northern Bulgarian Black Sea coast","type":"article","abstract":"In recent years, society become much more interested in nature disasters that cause damage.

However, limited knowledge is available on their patterns in the WLFZ under distinct waterlogging stresses. Here, rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere bacterial and fungal communities derived from two typical dominant plants (Rumex acetosa L. and Oxybasis glauca) in the WLFZ of Three Gorges Reservoir, China were analysed through high-throughput sequencing. A total of 63 phyla, 173 classes, 259 orders, 287 families and 518 genera of bacteria, as well as 15 phyla, 50 classes, 124 orders, 265 families and 652 genera of fungi were detected in soils with different waterlogging stress intensities. The most dominant bacterial and fungal phyla in each sample are Proteobacteria and Ascomycota, respectively. Bacteria and fungi in soil may increase their microbial ɑ diversity under the intensity of waterlogging stress to cope with this stress. LEfSe analysis showed that the impact of waterlogging stress on fungal community structure in soil is more prominent than that on bacteria. Key fungal biomarkers can be found in each soil sample, but in many samples, key bacterial biomarkers cannot be found. The metabolic pathways related to aerobic respiration type I and de novo biosynthesis of adenosine ribonucleotides dominate in the microbial community. Redundancy analysis revealed that the structure of rhizosphere microbial communities in different plants is significantly influenced by environmental factors. This study provides a theoretical basis for understanding the relationship between plants and their second genome (rhizosphere microorganisms) in extreme habitats, such as the WLFZ of large reservoirs.","publicationDate":"2024-01-01","doi":"10.3897/oneeco.9.e133645","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/oneeco.9.e133645","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["CN"],"source_details":{"id":72,"name":"One Ecosystem","slug":"one-ecosystem","issn_l":"2367-8194","openalex_id":"S4210213968","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210213968","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210213968","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://oneecosystem.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/72/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/one-ecosystem/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-one-ecosystem.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-one-ecosystem.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Zhou","Lanfang"],"keywords":["Three Gorges Reservoir"],"topics":["Microbial Community Ecology and Physiology","Plant responses to water stress","Legume Nitrogen Fixing Symbiosis"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4403428532","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/oneeco.9.e133645","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4403428532"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11489,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[26.58441,55.92123]}]},"bbox":[26.58441,55.92123,26.58441,55.92123],"properties":{"title":"Chlorophyll fluorescence changes, as plant early state indicator under different water salinity regimes on the invasive macrophyte Elodea canadensis (Michx., 1803)","type":"article","abstract":"Analysis of the photosynthetic apparatus provides information on the physiological state of plants. The changes of metabolites in plant cells analysed with the pulsed chlorophyll fluorometer make it possible to determine these changes in plant cells even in the presence of insignificant cell damage. The possible effects of different salinity levels, 0.584, 1.461, 2.922 and 5.844 PSU (denoting Practical Salinity Unit) on the fluorescence properties of the pigment complexes of the aquatic invasive E. canadensis photosynthetic apparatus were investigated. Information about E. canadensis macrophyte photosynthetic systems (PSI and PSII) was obtained. After a prolonged impact, the results indicate that high salinity levels in substrates 2.922 and 5.844 PSU seriously affect plant photosynthetic apparatus inhibition. The decrease in ∆Fv/Fm΄ values at 2.922 and 5.844 PSU indicates general deterioration in macrophytes' physiological state. In the post-stress period, photosynthesis intensified. An interesting feature was noted: a low water salinity level (0.584) stimulates chlorophyll formation and increases the FvFm parameter. The research revealed the influence of salinity levels in the substrate on the photosynthesis processes in plants. The PSII system of submerged macrophytes responds rapidly to high salinity levels, probably due to the inhibition of protein synthesis. These data provide information for further bio-diagnosis of overall plant health and prediction of exposure levels, as well as the ability to make predictions of invasive plant growth and spread. The invasion of this plant macrophyte causes the most serious concern in Europe nowadays.","publicationDate":"2022-01-01","doi":"10.3897/oneeco.7.e82389","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/oneeco.7.e82389","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["LV"],"source_details":{"id":72,"name":"One Ecosystem","slug":"one-ecosystem","issn_l":"2367-8194","openalex_id":"S4210213968","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210213968","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210213968","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://oneecosystem.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/72/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/one-ecosystem/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-one-ecosystem.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-one-ecosystem.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Petjukevics","Aleksandrs"],"keywords":["invasive species"],"topics":["Biocrusts and Microbial Ecology","Algal biology and biofuel production","Photosynthetic Processes and Mechanisms"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4309277352","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/oneeco.7.e82389","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4309277352"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11456,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[42.64583,43.19083]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[43.22778,43.58944]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[42.7875,43.32194]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[42.46361,43.305]}]},"bbox":[42.46361,43.19083,43.22778,43.58944],"properties":{"title":"Cryoconites as biogeochemical markers of anthropogenic impact in high mountain regions: analysis of polyaromatic pollutants in soil-like bodies","type":"article","abstract":"The globalisation and omnidirectional character of anthropogenic processes has challenged scientists around the world to estimate the harmful effects of these processes on ecosystems and human health. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) is one the most infamous group of contaminants, originated both from natural and anthropogenic processes. They could transport to high latitudes and altitudes through atmospheric long-distance transfer and further enter ecosystems of these vulnerable regions by deposition on terrestrial surfaces. An interesting object for tracking transboundary contamination processes in high mountain ecosystems is called cryoconite. Cryoconite, a dark-coloured supraglacial sediment which is abundant in polar and mountain environments, is considered as a storage of various pollutants, including PAHs. Thus, it may pose a risk for local human health and ecosystem through short-distance transfer. Studied cryoconite sediments were collected at the surface of Skhelda and Garabashi glaciers, Central Caucasus high-mountain region, as well as mudflow, moraine material and local soils at the Baksan Gorge in order to examine levels of their contamination. We analysed the content of 15 priority polyaromatic compounds from the US EPA list and used the method of calculation of PAHs isomer ratios with the purpose of identifying their source. To estimate their potential toxicity, Benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) equivalents were calculated. Maximum concentration was defined for NAP (84 ng×g-1), PHE (40 ng×g-1) and PYR (47 ng×g-1), with the minimum concentration for ANT (about 1 ng×g-1). The most polluted material is a cryoconite from Garabashi glacier because of local anthropogenic activities and long-distance transfer. High-molecular weight PAHs are dominated in PAHs composition of almost all samples. The most common sources of PAHs in studied materials are combustion processes and mixed pyrolytic/petrogenic origin. Toxicity levels of separate PAHs did not exceed the maximum permissible threshold concentrations values in most cases. However, the sum of PAHs in BaP equivalents exceed the threshold values in all samples, in some of them more than twice.","publicationDate":"2022-01-01","doi":"10.3897/oneeco.7.e78028","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/oneeco.7.e78028","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["RU"],"source_details":{"id":72,"name":"One Ecosystem","slug":"one-ecosystem","issn_l":"2367-8194","openalex_id":"S4210213968","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210213968","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210213968","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://oneecosystem.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/72/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/one-ecosystem/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-one-ecosystem.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-one-ecosystem.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Abakumov","Evgeny"],"keywords":["Central Caucasus"],"topics":["Toxic Organic Pollutants Impact","Atmospheric chemistry and aerosols","Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances research"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4205608994","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/oneeco.7.e78028","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4205608994"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11443,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[66.6549,66.52713]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[66.39632,66.32603]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[64.3548,64.94554]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[64.3635,64.94015]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[64.36379,64.9455]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[72.52002,70.17046]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[72.47588,70.16091]}]},"bbox":[64.3548,64.94015,72.52002,70.17046],"properties":{"title":"Morphological features, productivity and pollution state of abandoned agricultural soils in the Russian Arctic (Yamal Region)","type":"article","abstract":"Recently, questions about the return of the concept of Arctic agriculture in order to promote sustainable development of the northern regions and ensure food security have been raised more often. The re-involvement of previously-used and abandoned soils into agricultural usage can provide an essential contribution for the development of the Arctic regions. We conducted a comprehensive research of soils with different levels of abandonment in the central part of the Yamal Region (Russia) and compared their morphological features, chemical and physical properties, fertile qualities and the level of contamination with heavy and trace metals to background soils of the region. It has been noted that there are no evident features of cryoturbation processes in the profiles of abandoned agricultucal soils and regular changes in the redox regime, as a consequence of the presence of reductimorphic spots in the soil profiles, have been recorded. Soil organic matter (SOM) stock in the topsoil of abandoned soils is estimated as medium and has a similar level to the stocks of total organic matter in the agricultural soils of the Arctic circumpolar region (Norway, Sweden, and Finland). Statistically significant differences in the content of nutrients between abandoned and background soils were recorded which indicates stability of the soil nutritional state during different abandoned states. Particularly notable are the differences between the content of available forms of phosphorus. The results of the study revealed significant differences between soils of various periods of abandonment and the background soils of the Yamal Region. Abandoned soils can be used for ground and greenhouse agriculture, these soils having a high level of fertility and are not limited for use in agriculture by the level of contamination with heavy and trace metals. According to the character of trace metal contamination, abandoned and background soils are evaluated as uncontaminated on the base of Zc and Igeo indices values. Reuse of the previously abandoned soils can undoubtedly become the basis for increasing agricultural production and ensuring food security in the Yamal Region.","publicationDate":"2021-01-01","doi":"10.3897/oneeco.6.e68408","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/oneeco.6.e68408","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["RU"],"source_details":{"id":72,"name":"One Ecosystem","slug":"one-ecosystem","issn_l":"2367-8194","openalex_id":"S4210213968","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210213968","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210213968","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://oneecosystem.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/72/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/one-ecosystem/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-one-ecosystem.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-one-ecosystem.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Nizamutdinov","Timur"],"keywords":["postagrogenic soils"],"topics":["Indigenous Studies and Ecology","Climate change and permafrost","Arctic and Russian Policy Studies"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W3188325360","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/oneeco.6.e68408","mag":"3188325360","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W3188325360"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11435,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[123.19747,9.37153]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[123.19395,9.37202]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[123.19127,9.37048]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[123.17753,9.36213]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[123.17635,9.36122]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[123.17518,9.36085]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[123.18258,9.3541]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[123.18255,9.35268]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[123.18152,9.35107]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[123.18052,9.35075]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[123.18247,9.35462]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[123.1815,9.3565]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[123.18078,9.35792]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[123.18067,9.35908]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[123.17003,9.35012]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[123.15225,9.33265]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[123.15063,9.33304]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[123.14931,9.33525]}]},"bbox":[123.14931,9.33265,123.19747,9.37202],"properties":{"title":"Floristic composition and community structure along the elevational gradient of Balinsasayao Twin Lakes Natural Park in Negros Oriental, Philippines","type":"article","abstract":"Balinsasayao Twin Lakes Natural Park (BTLNP) is one of the protected areas on the Island of Negros Oriental which is enormously rich in biodiversity due to different Lowland types formed along its elevation gradient.

Diagnostic characters confirm that B. kowarzi belongs to the species group centred around B. dubia, characterised by a two-branched gonostylus with elongated branches, but it is distinguished from related species by the structure of the inner gonostylar branch and the arrangement of spines on the cerci. DNA barcode data (COI), including diagnostic molecular combination (DMC), reveal pronounced genetic divergence between B. kowarzi and other examined congeners, supporting its distinct species status. The new specimens were collected in an old-growth forest remnant in the Bavarian Alps, characterised by abundant dead wood and a rich community of wood-inhabiting fungi. The discovery suggests that the species may persist in relic montane forests, although its ecological requirements remain poorly understood.","publicationDate":"2026-01-01","doi":"10.3897/alpento.10.193623","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/alpento.10.193623","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["DE"],"source_details":{"id":71,"name":"Alpine Entomology","slug":"alpine-entomology","issn_l":"2535-0889","openalex_id":"S4210217666","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210217666","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210217666","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://alpineentomology.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/71/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/alpine-entomology/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-alpine-entomology.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-alpine-entomology.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Kurina","Olavi"],"keywords":["DNA barcode"],"topics":["Diptera species taxonomy and behavior","Insect behavior and control techniques","Forensic Entomology and Diptera Studies"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W7164131786","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/alpento.10.193623","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W7164131786"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11335,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-71.54389,18.1375]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-71.72528,18.27167]}]},"bbox":[-71.72528,18.1375,-71.54389,18.27167],"properties":{"title":"Description of female and early stages of Hispaniodirphia lemaireiana (Lepidoptera, Saturniidae) with notes on its ecology","type":"article","abstract":"Hispaniodirphia lemaireiana Rougerie & Herbin, 2006 is an endemic saturniid moth restricted to the montane pine forests of Hispaniola.

As part of a broader study conducted between 2018 and 2022, a survey of rivers and streams across four regions in northeastern Algeria recorded 15 mayfly species, contributing to an updated regional checklist and mapping the distribution of 36 species. Notably, ten species were putatively new to science, with nine awaiting formal description. The survey also documented two rarely recorded burrowing mayfly species and one interstitial species in North Africa, whose mass emergences serve as valuable bioindicators of riverine ecological integrity. Their close association with sediment or hyporheic zones, combined with a high sensitivity to environmental stressors, makes them effective for cost-efficient, rapid assessments of contaminants in fluvial systems. This study advances knowledge of mayfly taxonomy, biogeography, and ecology in the region while providing essential data for freshwater conservation efforts.","publicationDate":"2025-01-01","doi":"10.3897/alpento.9.156544","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/alpento.9.156544","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["DZ"],"source_details":{"id":71,"name":"Alpine Entomology","slug":"alpine-entomology","issn_l":"2535-0889","openalex_id":"S4210217666","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210217666","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210217666","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://alpineentomology.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/71/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/alpine-entomology/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-alpine-entomology.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-alpine-entomology.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Hezil","Wissem"],"keywords":["Aquatic insects"],"topics":["Freshwater macroinvertebrate diversity and ecology","Invertebrate Taxonomy and Ecology","Species Distribution and Climate Change"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4412639277","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/alpento.9.156544","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4412639277"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11314,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.41411,46.09943]}]},"bbox":[8.41411,46.09943,8.41411,46.09943],"properties":{"title":"A new Dichotrachelus Stierlin from Val Grande (Piemonte, Italy) (Coleoptera, Curculionidae) with comments on biogeography and evolution of high alpine species of the genus","type":"article","abstract":"Dichotrachelus sonjae sp. nov. was discovered in a cold north-exposed scree slope in the Togano ridge area in Piemonte North of Val Grande.

We consider erroneous recognition the most likely explanation but discuss other potential reasons, concluding that much remains to be learned about the highly complex reproductive behavior of acridid grasshoppers.","publicationDate":"2025-01-01","doi":"10.3897/alpento.9.151006","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/alpento.9.151006","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["KZ"],"source_details":{"id":71,"name":"Alpine Entomology","slug":"alpine-entomology","issn_l":"2535-0889","openalex_id":"S4210217666","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210217666","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210217666","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://alpineentomology.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/71/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/alpine-entomology/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-alpine-entomology.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-alpine-entomology.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Hawlitschek","Oliver"],"keywords":["Dociostaurus"],"topics":["Orthoptera Research and Taxonomy","Plant and animal studies","Agriculture and Biological Studies"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4410823964","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/alpento.9.151006","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4410823964"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11308,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[43.16,41.73]}]},"bbox":[43.16,41.73,43.16,41.73],"properties":{"title":"Discovery of Anthophora onosmarum Morawitz, 1876 in Europe (Hymenoptera, Apidae)","type":"article","abstract":"Anthophora onosmarum is a poorly known bee species described from the Caucasus (Georgia).

So far, this species is exclusively known from the Mercantour National Park in the southwestern French Alps and from mountainous ranges in Turkey and northern Iraq, two areas separated by at least 2000 km. Phylogenetic analyses based on mitochondrial and nuclear genes revealed that H. onosmaevae is closely related to H. adunca (Panzer, 1798), H. benoisti (Alfken, 1935) and H. manicata (Morice, 1901). Hoplitis onosmaevae is presumably narrowly oligolectic and harvests pollen only on flowers of Onosma L. (Boraginaceae). It has a particularly long proboscis, which is probably an adaptation to collect nectar from the long-tubed flowers of this plant genus. The females collect pollen by buzzing the Onosma flowers, a rare behavior in megachilid bees. The species nests in insect burrows in dead wood, similar to H. adunca and H. manicata but unlike other closely related representatives of the subgenus Hoplitis, suggesting a single origin of nesting in dead wood and hollow stems in this lineage. In France, H. onosmaevae inhabits alpine steppe-like habitats close to forests and appears to be extremely local, since only two populations are currently known. The conservation status of this extremely rare bee species in Europe is discussed.","publicationDate":"2024-01-01","doi":"10.3897/alpento.8.118039","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/alpento.8.118039","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["FR","IQ","TR"],"source_details":{"id":71,"name":"Alpine Entomology","slug":"alpine-entomology","issn_l":"2535-0889","openalex_id":"S4210217666","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210217666","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210217666","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://alpineentomology.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/71/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/alpine-entomology/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-alpine-entomology.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-alpine-entomology.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Aubert","Matthieu"],"keywords":["Anthophila"],"topics":["Plant and animal studies","Insect and Arachnid Ecology and Behavior","Insect and Pesticide Research"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4392984847","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/alpento.8.118039","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4392984847"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11298,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.9623,46.346]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.9604,46.3484]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.9844,46.3895]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.9849,46.3909]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.8539,46.4386]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.8521,46.4382]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.8522,46.4382]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.9338,45.9215]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[9.0203,46.1651]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.7359,46.1747]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.9934,45.8449]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[9.1301,46.226]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.9173,46.1349]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.9966,46.2741]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[9.0003,45.8346]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.9597,46.3489]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[9.0302,45.825]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.8539,46.4387]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[7.9601,46.2905]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[7.9577,46.2941]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[7.4339,46.2677]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[7.8566,46.2971]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[7.8564,46.2967]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.4978,47.4121]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.4872,47.4196]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.4936,47.3364]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.4945,47.3367]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.4483,47.363]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.4483,47.3631]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[9.0306,46.2563]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.9212,46.1624]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.8956,46.1862]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.9588,46.0539]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.9587,46.0538]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.8614,46.1549]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.8618,46.1547]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.9535,45.8499]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.7213,46.1868]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.9409,46.0262]}]},"bbox":[7.4339,45.825,9.1301,47.4196],"properties":{"title":"Distribution of the invasive ambrosia beetle Anisandrus maiche (Coleoptera, Scolytinae) in Switzerland and first record in Europe of its ambrosia fungus Ambrosiella cleistominuta","type":"article","abstract":"Ambrosia beetles are highly successful as invaders because they are often transported internationally with wood packaging and other wood products and because their inbreeding mating systems facilitates establishment of invading populations. In 2022, two independent insect surveys in canton Ticino (southern Switzerland) revealed the widespread occurrence of the invasive ambrosia beetle Anisandrus maiche (Kurentzov, 1941) from southern to central-upper Ticino. This species is native to east Asia and has previously been found as a non-native invasive species in the United States, Canada, western Russia, Ukraine and, in 2021, in northern Italy. Here, we present the results of several trapping studies using different trap types (bottle traps, funnel traps and Polytrap intercept traps) and attractants and a map of the distribution of the species. In total, 715 specimens of A. maiche, all female, were trapped, and the identity of selected individuals was confirmed by morphological and molecular identification based on three mitochondrial and nuclear markers (COI, 28S and CAD). Trap samples from early April to early September 2022 in intervals of two to four weeks showed that flights of A. maiche occurred mainly from June to mid-August. Isolation of fungal associates of A. maiche from beetles trapped alive revealed the presence of four fungal species, including the ambrosia fungus Ambrosiella cleistominuta, the known mutualist of A. maiche. The identity of A. cleistominuta was confirmed by comparing DNA sequences of its nuclear, internal transcribed spacer (ITS) gene with reference sequences in NCBI and BOLDSYSTEMS. This represents the first record of A. cleistominuta in Europe. Of the other fungal associates isolated from A. maiche in Ticino, Fusarium lateritium is of note as there is a possibility that A. maiche could act as a vector of this plant pathogen. We highlight several research needs that should be addressed to gain insight into the potential impact of these non-native species and to overcome problems with heteroplasmy in COI sequences in studies of invasion and population genetics of ambrosia beetles.","publicationDate":"2024-01-01","doi":"10.3897/alpento.8.117537","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/alpento.8.117537","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["CH","IT"],"source_details":{"id":71,"name":"Alpine Entomology","slug":"alpine-entomology","issn_l":"2535-0889","openalex_id":"S4210217666","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210217666","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210217666","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://alpineentomology.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/71/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/alpine-entomology/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-alpine-entomology.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-alpine-entomology.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Ribeiro-Correia","José Pedro"],"keywords":["Bark and ambrosia beetles"],"topics":["Forest Insect Ecology and Management","Insect and Pesticide Research","Insect and Arachnid Ecology and Behavior"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4392907398","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/alpento.8.117537","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4392907398"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11295,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[116.5665,6.0594]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[116.562,6.0475]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[116.5662,6.0578]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[116.5591,6.043]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[116.5602,6.0439]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[116.5565,6.0416]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[116.5578,6.0419]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[116.5604,6.0449]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[116.5605,6.0445]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[116.5617,6.0687]}]},"bbox":[116.5565,6.0416,116.5665,6.0687],"properties":{"title":"The Psyllinae (Hemiptera, Psyllidae) from Gunung Kinabalu (Malaysia, Sabah)","type":"article","abstract":"Five species of Psyllinae are recognised from Gunung Kinabalu, all previously unknown, and are formally described and named: Cacopsylla graciliforceps sp. nov., C. kinabaluensis sp. nov., C. myrsines sp. nov., C. photiniae sp. nov. and Psylla cirrita sp. nov.

(both from Psylla). Three of the Cacopsylla species probably represent Palaearctic faunal elements (Cacopsylla graciliforceps, C. myrsines and C. photiniae). Host information is available only for Cacopsylla myrsines and C. photiniae, viz. Myrsine dasyphylla (Primulaceae) and Photinia davidiana (Rosaceae), respectively. Myrsine has not been previously reported as host genus of Psylloidea. The five new species bring the number of known Psylloidea species from Gunung Kinabalu to 22. The biogeographic relationships found in the flora, i.e. Oriental elements predominate at lower altitudes, and Himalayan and Australian elements are dominant at altitudes above 2500 m, are reflected in the psyllid fauna (Oriental 4 spp.; Australian 13 spp., Himalayan 3 spp.; unknown 2 spp.). Of the 22 species known from Gunung Kinabalu, 18 are only known from there. This high number is probably only partly due to endemism and is partly due to insufficient knowledge of the psyllid fauna of Borneo and of the tropics in general.","publicationDate":"2024-01-01","doi":"10.3897/alpento.8.113873","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/alpento.8.113873","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["MY"],"source_details":{"id":71,"name":"Alpine Entomology","slug":"alpine-entomology","issn_l":"2535-0889","openalex_id":"S4210217666","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210217666","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210217666","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://alpineentomology.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/71/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/alpine-entomology/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-alpine-entomology.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-alpine-entomology.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Burckhardt","Daniel"],"keywords":["Sternorrhyncha"],"topics":["Phytoplasmas and Hemiptera pathogens","Plant and animal studies","Plant Parasitism and Resistance"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4390616484","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/alpento.8.113873","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4390616484"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11291,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[20.80533,-33.98983]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[18.93333,-34.335]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[20.46,-33.99333]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[20.45167,-33.99167]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[20.47667,-33.99167]}]},"bbox":[18.93333,-34.335,20.80533,-33.98983],"properties":{"title":"Parvapila lyncispinnae new genus and new species (Coleoptera, Melandryidae) from South Africa","type":"article","abstract":"The first Orchesiini of South Africa, Parvapila lyncispinnae gen. nov. and sp. nov., is described.

Coprophagous (dung-eating) insect larvae play a critical role in the decomposition of livestock dung in modern and traditional agricultural grasslands. The yellow dung fly (Scathophaga stercoraria L.; Diptera: Scathophagidae) is one of the largest, most common and abundant dung decomposers on pastures in cold-temperate regions across the entire northern hemisphere. As this fly is often associated with domesticated cattle or dairy cows, which are commonly kept for human nutrition worldwide (beef, milk, cheese, etc.), it is sometimes suspected to be a cow dung specialist. However, yellow dung flies are regularly active on and around other dung types, and must have reproduced on dung of wild vertebrates before the domestication of cattle. We therefore experimentally studied the performance of yellow dung fly larvae on dung of various large domestic vs. wild mammals (cow, horse, wild boar, red deer) in the laboratory in Switzerland. Larval performance in terms of juvenile survival, egg-to-adult development time, growth rate, and final adult body size, the major life history indicators of individual reproductive success, did not vary greatly among the various dung types tested. Thus, yellow dung flies can successfully reproduce on multiple types of mammal (vertebrate) dung, wild and domestic, and are therefore dung generalists rather than specialists. We conclude that yellow dung flies are common in European low- and highlands because they could plastically shift to dung of common herbivorous livestock after their domestication without losing the ability to reproduce on dung of common wild mammals.","publicationDate":"2023-01-01","doi":"10.3897/alpento.7.107649","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/alpento.7.107649","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["CH"],"source_details":{"id":71,"name":"Alpine Entomology","slug":"alpine-entomology","issn_l":"2535-0889","openalex_id":"S4210217666","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210217666","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210217666","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://alpineentomology.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/71/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/alpine-entomology/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-alpine-entomology.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-alpine-entomology.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Blanckenhorn","Wolf U"],"keywords":["Behavioral Ecology"],"topics":["Forensic Entomology and Diptera Studies","Animal Ecology and Behavior Studies","Wildlife Ecology and Conservation"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4385986787","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/alpento.7.107649","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4385986787"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11278,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[7.34,46.23278]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.38306,46.45889]}]},"bbox":[7.34,46.23278,8.38306,46.45889],"properties":{"title":"A review of the Chrysolina species – subgenus Stichoptera Motschulsky, 1860 – in Switzerland, with notes on distribution, conservation and preimaginal stages (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae)","type":"review","abstract":"The species of the subgenus Stichoptera occurring in Switzerland are revised, based on a combination of literature data, old museum specimens and recent material.

Prey handling of large snails has been described in a few Licinini species. We observed for the first time how a male of Licinus depressus (Paykull, 1790) opens the shells of small prey snails (Chondrina arcadica (Reinhardt, 1881)) and eats their soft bodies. The beetle holds the conical snail shell with its forelegs and breaks the wall of the right-hand coiled shell. In doing so, the beetle rotates the shell counter-clockwise opening it stepwise along the dorsal part of the whorls towards the apex. After some bites, the beetle interrupts the opening process and begins to feed on the snail’s soft tissue. Then the beetle continues to break up the shell, shortly after which there is another feeding phase. The alternating sequence of shell breaking and feeding ends after 2 to 2.5 whorls when the beetle can no longer hold the prey’s remaining intact shell. We compare this previously unknown way of prey handling with the reported predatory behaviour in large snails by other Licinini species. Our observations confirm the high plasticity of predatory behaviour in Licinini beetles.","publicationDate":"2023-01-01","doi":"10.3897/alpento.7.103164","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/alpento.7.103164","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["SE"],"source_details":{"id":71,"name":"Alpine Entomology","slug":"alpine-entomology","issn_l":"2535-0889","openalex_id":"S4210217666","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210217666","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210217666","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://alpineentomology.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/71/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/alpine-entomology/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-alpine-entomology.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-alpine-entomology.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Baur","Bruno"],"keywords":["Insect"],"topics":["Coleoptera Taxonomy and Distribution","Mollusks and Parasites Studies","Forest Insect Ecology and Management"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4383104682","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/alpento.7.103164","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4383104682"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11274,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[9.04908,46.21267]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[9.03063,46.25633]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.95871,46.05382]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.95882,46.05396]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.92125,46.16242]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[9.00623,45.86596]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.60183,46.3238]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.92413,45.99371]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.92374,45.99372]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.86182,46.1548]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[9.02604,46.08056]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[9.02577,46.08048]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.96692,45.87643]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.96681,45.87659]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.97892,45.84889]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.96363,45.83961]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.96423,45.83947]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.94096,46.02621]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.9413,46.0261]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.77238,46.10924]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.97847,45.84932]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.95313,45.85023]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.92333,45.83409]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.86144,46.15491]}]},"bbox":[8.60183,45.83409,9.04908,46.32381],"properties":{"title":"Three alien bark and ambrosia beetles (Coleoptera, Curculionidae, Scolytinae) new to Switzerland","type":"article","abstract":"Identifying alien species is important to ensure the early detection of biological invasions and survey shifts in species distributions in the context of global change.

Given their polyphagy, it is likely that all three species will become more extensively distributed across Switzerland, with a yet unknown environmental impact.","publicationDate":"2023-01-01","doi":"10.3897/alpento.7.103269","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/alpento.7.103269","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["CH","IT"],"source_details":{"id":71,"name":"Alpine Entomology","slug":"alpine-entomology","issn_l":"2535-0889","openalex_id":"S4210217666","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210217666","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210217666","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://alpineentomology.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/71/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/alpine-entomology/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-alpine-entomology.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-alpine-entomology.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Sanchez","Andreas"],"keywords":["Alien species"],"topics":["Forest Insect Ecology and Management","Forest Ecology and Biodiversity Studies","Insect and Pesticide Research"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4377115428","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/alpento.7.103269","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4377115428"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11273,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[7.05083,45.04917]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[7.14111,45.00778]}]},"bbox":[7.05083,45.00778,7.14111,45.04917],"properties":{"title":"The female of Megacraspedus peslieri Huemer & Karsholt, 2018 (Lepidoptera, Gelechiidae), a new case of brachyptery in alpine Lepidoptera","type":"article","abstract":"Megacraspedus peslieri was described from the Pyrenees in 2018 and subsequently also discovered at a few localities in the northern Cottian Alps (Italy).

The samples contained an alien Ciidae species new to Switzerland: Cis chinensis Lawrence, 1991, a species otherwise mainly known as a storage pest of commercially dried fungi. The adults and larvae of the Basel population are described and illustrated. When comparing the size of the adults of the two sample series collected two weeks apart, statistically significant differences were found. It appears that the above-average temperatures in June 2021 favoured the size of the second group. A number of (4–)5 larval stages are postulated for larval development. As an endoparasitoid of the eggs of C. chinensis, an unknown Mymaridae of the genus Cleruchus was found. Noteworthy was an unusually heavy infestation of Ciidae by phoretic mites (Histiostomatidae). During follow-up surveys in early 2022, additional individuals of C. chinensis were also found on the fruitbodies of other fungi growing in the immediate vicinity of the site where the population of the species was initially observed on A. xantha. A list of all Ciidae detected on the UPK campus is provided, and the spectrum of host-fungi of C. chinensis is discussed.","publicationDate":"2022-01-01","doi":"10.3897/alpento.6.86494","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/alpento.6.86494","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["CH","DE"],"source_details":{"id":71,"name":"Alpine Entomology","slug":"alpine-entomology","issn_l":"2535-0889","openalex_id":"S4210217666","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210217666","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210217666","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://alpineentomology.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/71/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/alpine-entomology/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-alpine-entomology.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-alpine-entomology.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Coray","Armin"],"keywords":["Ciidae"],"topics":["Forest Insect Ecology and Management","Forest Ecology and Biodiversity Studies","Study of Mite Species"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4309431588","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/alpento.6.86494","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4309431588"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11258,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[6.991,44.698]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[6.769,44.574]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[6.76,44.574]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[6.401,45.029]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[6.716,44.623]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[6.743,44.613]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[6.721,44.621]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[4.496,45.058]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[6.743,44.611]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[6.766,44.605]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[6.072,44.982]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[6.746,44.614]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[6.447,44.712]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[6.735,44.849]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[6.316,44.905]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[6.332,44.905]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[6.919,44.713]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[6.731,44.608]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[6.723,44.616]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[6.946,44.7]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[6.971,44.692]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[6.403,45.033]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[4.195,44.843]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[4.195,44.866]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[1.049,42.808]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[0.159,42.808]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[6.759,44.603]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[6.068,45.009]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[6.826,45.009]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[1.056,42.802]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[6.737,44.82]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[6.908,44.718]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[0.158,42.901]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[6.999,44.691]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[0.858,42.941]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[6.406,45.026]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[6.332,44.904]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[6.435,44.704]}]},"bbox":[0.158,42.802,6.999,45.058],"properties":{"title":"Description of the female of Platycheirus altomontis Merlin & Nielsen in Nielsen, 2004 (Diptera, Syrphidae) with notes on the occurrence and hilltopping behaviour of rare French montane and Alpine Syrphidae","type":"article","abstract":"A focused search in very high (2500–3200 m asl) Alpine mountain tops in France resulted in the discovery of the very rare Alpine-endemic syrphid Platycheirus altomontis Merlin & Nielsen in Nielsen, 2004, including its hitherto unknown female. A description of the female is given and further complemented with behavioural observations of this species with special reference to hilltopping. Additional records and behavioural observations are provided for rare and new species for the French fauna from the montane and Alpine habitat with focus on species of high altitude (>2750 m) and hilltopping behaviour. The species Rohdendorfia alpina Sack 1938 is new to France and was observed in large numbers at scree slopes above 2750 m and males were found sitting at hilltops up to 3200 m. Hilltopping behaviour of Syrphidae was observed over the whole altitudinal range visited, and multiple species engaged in this behaviour even at above 3000 m. Hilltopping appears to be more common in some genera (e.g. Parasyrphus and Pipizella) than in others and may be linked to specific phenotypes in some species. The latter was observed for the species Cheilosia melanura (Becker, 1894) of which at high hilltops much smaller males were found than at lower altitudes.","publicationDate":"2022-01-01","doi":"10.3897/alpento.6.81676","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/alpento.6.81676","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["FR","IT"],"source_details":{"id":71,"name":"Alpine Entomology","slug":"alpine-entomology","issn_l":"2535-0889","openalex_id":"S4210217666","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210217666","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210217666","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://alpineentomology.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/71/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/alpine-entomology/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-alpine-entomology.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-alpine-entomology.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Van de Meutter","Frank"],"keywords":["hilltopping"],"topics":["Diptera species taxonomy and behavior","Forensic Entomology and Diptera Studies","Species Distribution and Climate Change"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4296380199","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/alpento.6.81676","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4296380199"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11257,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[133.0721,-0.7831]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[133.5908,-1.3686]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[133.5967,-1.3827]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[146.6315,6.9711]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[141.5686,-4.8881]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[141.5284,-4.8809]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[141.6159,-4.9092]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[138.7395,-2.3445]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[139.6542,-4.741]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[140.7087,-5.0917]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[138.7439,-2.4061]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[133.89868,-0.596]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[133.8745,-1.1122]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[133.5967,1.3827]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[133.0712,-0.7856]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[133.0578,-0.8009]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[133.1839,-0.8348]}]},"bbox":[133.0578,-5.0917,146.6315,6.9711],"properties":{"title":"NextRAD phylogenomics, sanger sequencing and morphological data to establish three new species of New Guinea stream beetles","type":"article","abstract":"We use molecular phylogenomic as well as morphological data to provide a taxonomic update on New Guinea endemic Philaccolilus diving beetles.

Although males typically transfer many sperm during copulation, only a small proportion reach the fertilization site because females often actively or passively reduce sperm number in their reproductive tract. Males may transfer accessory substances to protect their ejaculates against female selective processes, which benefits males but can harm females. In turn, females may use accessory gland fluids to control paternity or sperm storage. Female yellow dung flies (Scathophaga stercoraria) have paired accessory glands that produce fluids involved in fertilization and egg laying. One proposed function for these fluids is spermicide. Alternatively, female accessory gland fluid may help keep sperm alive to avoid fertilization failure or encourage sperm competition. Using yellow dung flies, we investigated the interaction of female accessory gland fluid with sperm in vitro. Significantly more sperm remained alive when exposed to accessory gland fluid compared to buffer only (63% vs. 44%). We conclude that female accessory gland fluid in yellow dung flies can help nourish rather than kill male sperm, although selective nourishment of sperm is as consistent with cryptic female choice as is selective spermicide.","publicationDate":"2021-01-01","doi":"10.3897/alpento.5.68501","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/alpento.5.68501","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["CH"],"source_details":{"id":71,"name":"Alpine Entomology","slug":"alpine-entomology","issn_l":"2535-0889","openalex_id":"S4210217666","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210217666","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210217666","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://alpineentomology.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/71/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/alpine-entomology/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-alpine-entomology.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-alpine-entomology.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Thüler","Karin"],"keywords":["Reproduction"],"topics":["Animal Behavior and Reproduction","Plant and animal studies","Insect and Pesticide Research"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W3199394016","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/alpento.5.68501","mag":"3199394016","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W3199394016"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11240,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-41.4727,-12.4572]}]},"bbox":[-41.4727,-12.4572,-41.4727,-12.4572],"properties":{"title":"Mitrapsylla rupestris sp. nov., a psyllid (Hemiptera, Psylloidea) associated with Poiretia bahiana (Fabaceae) endemic to the Espinhaço mountain range (Brazil, Bahía)","type":"article","abstract":"Mitrapsylla rupestris sp. nov., associated with Poiretia bahiana C.

Whereas females should maximize their time foraging for resources, males should minimize their foraging time by optimizing time budgets to maximize their access to mating partners.        Mark-resight field studies are difficult and hence uncommon for small insects. Yellow dung flies (Scathophaga stercoraria L.) abound on pastures in cold-temperate regions across the northern hemisphere. Adult flies lick nectar from flowers for energy, but require small insect prey to produce eggs and sperm. Males wait for females around fresh cow dung, but at one point also need to replenish their energy and/or sperm reserves in the surrounding vegetation. Their foraging time budgets should depend on their body size, nutritional energy reserves, availability of sperm, competitor and female density.        Marked male dung flies whose nutritional status was experimentally manipulated – water only (null control); water + sugar (energy replenishment); or water, sugar + Drosophila prey (energy and sperm replenishment) – were repeatedly observed on an experimental pasture for an entire day. Both nutrient types were expected to increase the mating success of especially large males.        The total number of resighted males seen copulating was lowest for water-treated flies. Mating success was positively related to body size. The distance travelled between dung pats was greater for males fed sugar or prey and also increased with body size, while pat residence times decreased with size. No differences were found between the sugar- and prey-fed groups. Crucially however, there was no evidence in the field for a time budget or mating advantage of small males when nutrients were limited.","publicationDate":"2021-01-01","doi":"10.3897/alpento.5.68153","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/alpento.5.68153","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["CH"],"source_details":{"id":71,"name":"Alpine Entomology","slug":"alpine-entomology","issn_l":"2535-0889","openalex_id":"S4210217666","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210217666","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210217666","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://alpineentomology.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/71/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/alpine-entomology/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-alpine-entomology.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-alpine-entomology.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Blanckenhorn","Wolf U"],"keywords":["body size"],"topics":["Plant and animal studies","Insect behavior and control techniques","Insect and Arachnid Ecology and Behavior"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W3187887278","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/alpento.5.68153","mag":"3187887278","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W3187887278"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11236,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[7.32946,46.29192]}]},"bbox":[7.32946,46.29192,7.32946,46.29192],"properties":{"title":"Rediscovery of Stactobia eatoniella McLachlan, 1880 (Trichoptera, Hydroptilidae) in Switzerland after more than seventy years","type":"article","abstract":"A specimen of Stactobia eatoniella, a hygropetric species of micro-caddisfly considered extinct in Switzerland, was discovered in the Morge in Valais in March 2020 during routine monitoring.

Dichrorampha velata sp. nov. is restricted to the European Alps and adjacent regions whereas D. alpestrana is more widespread with likely arctic-alpine disjunction and records from the Alps and the northern part of Great Britain.","publicationDate":"2021-01-01","doi":"10.3897/alpento.5.67498","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/alpento.5.67498","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["AT","CH","DE","FR","IT","MK"],"source_details":{"id":71,"name":"Alpine Entomology","slug":"alpine-entomology","issn_l":"2535-0889","openalex_id":"S4210217666","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210217666","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210217666","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://alpineentomology.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/71/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/alpine-entomology/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-alpine-entomology.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-alpine-entomology.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Schmid","Jürg"],"keywords":["cryptic diversity"],"topics":["Lepidoptera: Biology and Taxonomy","Species Distribution and Climate Change","Plant and animal studies"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W3173479137","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/alpento.5.67498","mag":"3173479137","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W3173479137"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11234,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.73333,47.86667]}]},"bbox":[8.73333,47.86667,8.73333,47.86667],"properties":{"title":"A fungal parasite selects against body size but not fluctuating asymmetry in Swiss subalpine yellow dung flies","type":"article","abstract":"Evidence for selective disadvantages of large body size remains scarce in general. Previous studies of the yellow dung fly Scathophaga stercoraria have demonstrated strong positive sexual and fecundity selection on male and female size. Nevertheless, the body size of flies from a Swiss study population has declined by ~10% 1993–2009. Given substantial heritability of body size, this negative evolutionary response of an evidently positively selected trait suggests important selective factors being missed. An episodic epidemic outbreak of the fungus Entomophthora scatophagae permitted assessment of natural selection exerted by this fatal parasite. Fungal infection varied over the season from ~50% in the cooler and more humid spring and autumn to almost 0% in summer. The probability of dying from fungal infection increased with adult fly body size. Females never laid any eggs after infection, so there was no fungus effect on female fecundity beyond its impact on mortality. Large males showed their typical mating advantage in the field, but this positive sexual selection was nullified by fungal infection. Mean fluctuating asymmetry of paired appendages (legs, wings) did not affect the viability, fecundity or mating success of yellow dung flies in the field. This study documents rare parasite-mediated disadvantages of large-sized flies in the field. Reduced ability to combat parasites such as Entomophthora may be an immunity cost of large body size in dung flies, although the hypothesized trade-off between fluctuating asymmetry, a presumed indicator of developmental instability and environmental stress, and immunocompetence was not found here.","publicationDate":"2021-01-01","doi":"10.3897/alpento.5.65653","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/alpento.5.65653","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["DE"],"source_details":{"id":71,"name":"Alpine Entomology","slug":"alpine-entomology","issn_l":"2535-0889","openalex_id":"S4210217666","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210217666","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210217666","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://alpineentomology.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/71/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/alpine-entomology/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-alpine-entomology.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-alpine-entomology.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Blanckenhorn","Wolf U"],"keywords":["body size"],"topics":["Animal Ecology and Behavior Studies","Morphological variations and asymmetry","Ecology and Vegetation Dynamics Studies"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W3172777879","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/alpento.5.65653","mag":"3172777879","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W3172777879"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11231,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[7.42528,46.44444]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[33.35,46.49853]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[58.08,46.68911]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[19.49,46.79747]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[12.6,46.67364]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[9.4,46.66308]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[26.03,46.91136]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[22.67,46.20158]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[37.19,46.14297]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[47.8,46.15017]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[29.42,46.10936]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[30.2,46.08658]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[34.56,46.18936]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[49.73,46.42186]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[55.03,46.10769]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[34.87,46.22242]}]},"bbox":[7.42528,46.08658,58.08,46.91136],"properties":{"title":"Two males, one female: triplet-style mating behaviour in the Darwin wasp Xorides ater (Gravenhorst, 1829) (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidae, Xoridinae) in the Swiss Alps","type":"article","abstract":"The Darwin wasp Xorides ater is a solitary idiobiont ectoparasitoid of wood-boring beetle larvae.

O. uncinata nested in self-excavated burrows inside the bark of both living trunks and dead stumps of Pinus sylvestris. The nests were excavated at a height of 10–220 cm above ground either on the underside of prominences of longitudinal bark ribs or inside beetle borings and extended more or less vertically upwards. They consisted of a single straight to slightly curved burrow with rarely one to three side burrows, had a total length of 1.2–12.0 cm and contained 1–6 brood cells. The brood cells, which faced downwards with the larval provisions being located in the upper cell half, were separated from each other by one-layered walls of chewed leaves (“leaf pulp”). The nests were sealed with a plug of 2–4 closely adjacent walls of leaf pulp. DNA metabarcoding of cell and plug walls revealed that Potentilla and Fragaria (Rosaceae) served as leaf pulp sources. Pre-imaginal mortality amounted to 77%, partly caused by brood parasites such as Sapyga similis (Sapygidae) and Cacoxenus indagator (Drosophilidae) or predators such as snakeflies (Raphidioptera). At low elevations, O. uncinata needs one year for its development and overwinters as imago inside the nest, whereas in the subalpine zone of the Alps it has a two-year cycle passing the first winter as prepupa and the second winter as imago. O. uncinata starts to emerge between the end of March at low elevations and the end of May at higher elevations qualifying as an early flying bee like the other European O. (Melanosmia) species. The distribution of O. uncinata in Central Europe and Scotland largely coincides with the occurrence of P. sylvestris. As in the pine, it extends over a wide altitudinal range from below 100 m up to 1900 m a.s.l. and encompasses dry and wet as well as warm and cold habitats including open pine forests, inner and outer forest edges dominated by pine and isolated pine groups. At a few locations in the subalpine zone of the Alps, O. uncinata occurs in the absence of P. sylvestris; here, the thick bark of Larix decidua serves as a substitute nesting substrate.","publicationDate":"2020-01-01","doi":"10.3897/alpento.4.53489","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/alpento.4.53489","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["CH","DE","GB"],"source_details":{"id":71,"name":"Alpine Entomology","slug":"alpine-entomology","issn_l":"2535-0889","openalex_id":"S4210217666","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210217666","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210217666","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://alpineentomology.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/71/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/alpine-entomology/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-alpine-entomology.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-alpine-entomology.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Müller","Andreas"],"keywords":["Anthophila"],"topics":["Plant and animal studies","Insect and Pesticide Research","Insect and Arachnid Ecology and Behavior"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W3046384767","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/alpento.4.53489","mag":"3046384767","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W3046384767"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11221,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[9.0411,46.21751]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.93728,45.86803]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.74874,46.19971]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.74759,46.1997]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.92144,46.05601]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[9.0219,46.19212]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.96342,46.36507]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.92886,46.12143]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.95441,46.15828]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[9.01409,46.16495]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[9.02922,46.24579]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.92002,46.1492]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.95361,45.84458]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.90142,46.17559]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.87737,46.39669]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.69943,46.17601]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.93926,46.04243]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.76098,46.17545]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.70566,46.24838]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.97548,45.89456]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.91926,46.08825]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.80679,45.99369]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.94177,46.04369]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.98493,45.93004]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.93077,45.85767]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.92752,45.85563]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.92869,45.85456]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.93285,46.02249]}]},"bbox":[8.69943,45.84458,9.0411,46.39669],"properties":{"title":"First record of Erasmoneura vulnerata Fitch, 1851 (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae, Typhlocybinae) in Switzerland","type":"article","abstract":"The first record of Erasmoneura vulnerata Fitch, 1851 in Switzerland is reported.

Initially described as four different species (C. schleichi, C. arenariella, C. dianthella, C. improvisella), these taxa were later considered as subspecies. Recently the taxon C. arenariella was re-instated to species level without, however, revision of the remaining three subspecies. Analysis of DNA barcodes of the mtCOI (Cytochrome c Oxidase 1) gene of all four validly described taxa showed an unexpected pattern of genetic diversity.

The discovery of 19 nests in the Grisons and Valais (Switzerland) allowed for the investigation of its nesting biology and prompted the assessment of the species’ host-plant spectrum, phenology and distribution. All nests were in thick bark pieces of Larix decidua, which lay in grassy vegetation on sun-exposed ground of open subalpine forests dominated by larch. The nests contained 1–26 brood cells constructed within one to several burrows tunneled out by the female bees with their specialized mandibles, which are distinctly stronger than those of related O. (Melanosmia) species known to nest in preexisting cavities or loose soil. The linearly arranged brood cells were separated from each other by three-layered partitions consisting of an interlayer of densely packed small bark particles sandwiched between two thin layers of chewed green leaves (“leaf pulp”). DNA metabarcoding of several nest plugs revealed that Potentilla (Rosaceae) and Helianthemum (Cistaceae) served as source of the leaf pulp. Anthrax anthrax (Bombyliidae) and Sapyga similis (Sapygidae) parasitized the brood cells of O. nigriventris as shown by DNA barcoding of prepupae overwintering in the host’s nests. O. nigriventris is mesolectic and harvests pollen almost exclusively on Fabaceae (e.g. Lotus, Hippocrepis), Ericaceae (Rhododendron, Vaccinium) and Cistaceae (Helianthemum). Depending on the altitude, O. nigriventris emerges from the beginning of May to the first decade of June and thus qualifies as an early flying bee active in spring and early summer similar to the other European O. (Melanosmia) species. It likely needs two years for its development in the subalpine zone of the Alps and overwinters as prepupa in the first and probably as imago in the second winter. O. nigriventris has a Holarctic distribution, its disjunct Palaearctic range encompasses the boreal zone from Scandinavia eastwards to the Russian Far East, the Caucausus, the Alps as well as scattered locations at lower altitudes throughout Central Europe, where it is regarded as a glacial relict and has probably suffered strong declines during the last decades.","publicationDate":"2019-01-01","doi":"10.3897/alpento.3.34409","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/alpento.3.34409","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["CH"],"source_details":{"id":71,"name":"Alpine Entomology","slug":"alpine-entomology","issn_l":"2535-0889","openalex_id":"S4210217666","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210217666","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210217666","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://alpineentomology.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/71/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/alpine-entomology/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-alpine-entomology.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-alpine-entomology.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Müller","Andreas"],"keywords":["Anthophila"],"topics":["Plant and animal studies","Forest Insect Ecology and Management","Plant Parasitism and Resistance"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2946821002","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/alpento.3.34409","mag":"2946821002","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W2946821002"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11195,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[7.21917,47.13361]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[7.08861,47.07583]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[7.77722,46.72111]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[7.15194,47.09389]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[7.16028,47.09806]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[7.16861,47.10306]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[7.20889,47.0525]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[9.20861,46.76694]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[7.00417,47.02667]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[6.99806,47.02667]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[7.03306,47.05389]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[7.01472,47.04917]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[7.06528,47.06806]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[7.67194,47.17194]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[13.88944,45.62]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[19.1,42.14639]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[13.78672,42.39532]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[13.54838,42.40577]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[15.87722,41.71778]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[16.10972,41.80917]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[16.13389,41.74694]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[15.85778,41.70528]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[16.1075,41.8175]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[15.88194,41.68639]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[15.86528,41.705]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[15.7983,40.0036]}]},"bbox":[6.99806,40.0036,19.1,47.17194],"properties":{"title":"Revision der Nematopogon adansoniella-Artengruppe mit Beschreibung einer neuen Art aus den Bergregionen Süditaliens (Lepidoptera, Adelidae)","type":"article","abstract":"Das ursprünglich aus den Südwestalpen beschriebene Taxon Nematopogon adansoniella (de Villers, 1789) wird neu bewertet.

The catches were combined over four forest disturbance projects ranging from windthrows in alpine spruce forests and lowland deciduous forests to winter forest fires in Southern Switzerland and a large summer fire in southwestern Switzerland. As a result 82% of the 50 species benefited from the disturbance and became more abundant in the years after the fire or windthrow. More species (19) had their maximum abundance in intermediately disturbed plots than in heavily disturbed forests (17). Only 11 species mainly Hemerobiidae and Coniopterygidae peaked in the undisturbed forest stands. The species are listed per impact and ranked as winners (more than 66% specimens per treatment collected in disturbed forest plots) losers (more than 66% specimens per treatment in undisturbed forest plots) and indifferent species.

Phylogenetic analyses of one mitochondrial gene and one nuclear gene, as well as morphological examination reveal the presence of four Alpine species in this complex, one of which is new to science, A. amieti sp. n. This new species is widely distributed in the Alps from southern France throughout Switzerland, northern Italy and southern Germany to Austria; a single record is known from the Apennines. The type locality is located within the Unesco World Heritage site “Swiss Alps Jungfrau-Aletsch”. Two widely divergent mitochondrial lineages are found in sympatry in A. amieti sp. n.; the status of these lineages, which together form a paraphyletic unit from which A. allosa arose, is briefly discussed. We show that A. allosa, A. amieti sp. n. and A. montana are polylectic but that each species exhibits a distinct spectrum of pollen hosts: the univoltine A. allosa shows affinities for pollen of the early-blooming Alpine plant genus Crocus. A. amieti sp. n. is bivoltine and, as in A. bicolor, the summer generation exhibits a distinct preference for Campanulaceae, while the spring generation is widely polylectic. A. montana has a single generation in the summer and forages on a diversity of flowers such as Campanulaceae, Cistaceae and Caryophyllaceae. An identification key is presented for central European members of the subgenus Euandrena Hedicke, 1932. Lastly, the new Alpine species appears to represent the tip of the iceberg of substantial cryptic diversity in southern European Andrena (Euandrena): A. croatica Friese, 1887 is resurrected from synonymy with A. bicolor and treated as a valid species (stat. rev.), A. pileata Warncke, 1875, described as a subspecies of A. allosa, is elevated to species rank (stat. n.), and three additional unclear taxa are briefly described.","publicationDate":"2019-01-01","doi":"10.3897/alpento.3.29675","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/alpento.3.29675","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["CH","FR","GR","IT"],"source_details":{"id":71,"name":"Alpine Entomology","slug":"alpine-entomology","issn_l":"2535-0889","openalex_id":"S4210217666","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210217666","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210217666","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://alpineentomology.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/71/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/alpine-entomology/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-alpine-entomology.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-alpine-entomology.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Praz","Christophe"],"keywords":["Species delimitation"],"topics":["Plant and animal studies","Insect and Pesticide Research","Plant Parasitism and Resistance"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2909274533","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/alpento.3.29675","mag":"2909274533","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W2909274533"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11188,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.48,52.04]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.38,47.54]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.57,47.4]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[9.15,47.23]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[6.66,47.01]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.06,46.81]}]},"bbox":[6.66,46.81,9.15,52.04],"properties":{"title":"Temporal niche partitioning of Swiss black scavenger flies in relation to season and substrate age (Diptera, Sepsidae)","type":"article","abstract":"Understanding why and how multiple species manage to coexist represents a primary goal of ecological and evolutionary research. This is of particular relevance for communities that depend on resource rich ephemeral habitats that are prone to high intra- and interspecific competition. Black scavenger flies (Diptera: Sepsidae) are common and abundant acalyptrate flies associated with livestock dung decomposition in human-influenced agricultural grasslands worldwide. Several widespread sepsid species with apparently very similar ecological niches coexist in Europe, but despite their ecological role and their use in evolutionary ecological research, our understanding of their ecological niches and spatio-temporal distribution is still rudimentary. To gain a better understanding of their ecology, we here investigate niche partitioning at two temporal scales. First, we monitored the seasonal occurrence, often related to thermal preference, over multiple years and sites in Switzerland that differ in altitude. Secondly, we also investigate fine-scale temporal succession on dairy cow pastures. In accordance with their altitudinal and latitudinal distribution in Europe, some species were common over the entire season with a peak in summer, hence classified as warm-loving, whereas others were primarily present in spring or autumn. Phenological differences thus likely contribute to species coexistence throughout the season. However, the community also showed pronounced species turnover related to cow pat age. Some species colonize particularly fresh dung and are gradually replaced by others. Furthermore, the correlation between co-occurrence and phylogenetic distance of species revealed significant under-dispersion, indicating that more closely related species are frequently recovered at the same location. As a whole, our data suggests temporal niche differentiation of closely related species that likely facilitates the rather high species diversity on Swiss cattle pastures. The underlying mechanisms allowing close relatives to co-occur however require further scrutiny.","publicationDate":"2019-01-01","doi":"10.3897/alpento.3.28366","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/alpento.3.28366","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["CH","DE"],"source_details":{"id":71,"name":"Alpine Entomology","slug":"alpine-entomology","issn_l":"2535-0889","openalex_id":"S4210217666","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210217666","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210217666","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://alpineentomology.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/71/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/alpine-entomology/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-alpine-entomology.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-alpine-entomology.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Rohner","Patrick"],"keywords":["climate distribution"],"topics":["Forensic Entomology and Diptera Studies","Diptera species taxonomy and behavior","Insect behavior and control techniques"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2907329560","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/alpento.3.28366","mag":"2907329560","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W2907329560"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11184,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[9.35508,46.92425]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[7.925,46.25]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[9.355,46.925]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.835,46.67083]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.79167,46.68667]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[10.35167,46.80917]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[9.19667,46.615]}]},"bbox":[7.925,46.25,10.35167,46.925],"properties":{"title":"Dual function of Potentilla (Rosaceae) in the life history of the rare boreoalpine osmiine bee Hoplitis (Formicapis) robusta (Hymenoptera, Megachilidae)","type":"article","abstract":"Hoplitis robusta (Nylander) is a rare and poorly known osmiine bee species occurring in the subalpine zone of the Alps.

Microscopical analysis of the larval provisions of eight brood cells and of 41 pollen loads of females from museum and private collections showed that H. robusta exhibits a strong preference for the pollen of Potentilla (Rosaceae). Based on field observations, DNA metabarcoding of one nest plug and stereomicroscopic analysis of the leaf pulp matrix, Potentilla was also identified as an important source for the leaf pulp needed for nest construction, rendering H. robusta one of the few bee species known to collect floral resources and nest building material from the very same plant.","publicationDate":"2018-01-01","doi":"10.3897/alpento.2.30158","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/alpento.2.30158","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["CH"],"source_details":{"id":71,"name":"Alpine

This entomological frontier offers a distinct suite of insects for study including many endemic taxa.

We report here on the design and efficacy of a new Alpine Malaise Trap (AMT), which can be readily hybridised with several other common insect trapping techniques. Advantages of the design include its light weight and portability, low cost, robustness, rapid deployment and long autonomous sampling period. The AMT was field tested in the Tasmanian highlands (AUST) in 2017. A total of 16 orders were collected. As expected, samples are dominated by Diptera. However, the trap also collected a range of flightless taxa including endemic and apterous species, Apteropanorpa tasmanica – closest relative of the boreal, snow scorpionflies (Boreidae). Combined and compared with other trap types the Alpine Malaise Traps captured less specimens but of a greater diversity than passive sticky traps, while drop traps captured less specimens but a greater diversity than AMT. The statistical potential of the catch is discussed.","publicationDate":"2018-01-01","doi":"10.3897/alpento.2.24800","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/alpento.2.24800","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["AU"],"source_details":{"id":71,"name":"Alpine Entomology","slug":"alpine-entomology","issn_l":"2535-0889","openalex_id":"S4210217666","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210217666","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210217666","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://alpineentomology.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/71/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/alpine-entomology/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-alpine-entomology.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-alpine-entomology.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Henry","Shasta Claire"],"keywords":["Long term"],"topics":["Plant and animal studies","Insect and Arachnid Ecology and Behavior","Forest Insect Ecology and Management"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2883956424","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/alpento.2.24800","mag":"2883956424","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W2883956424"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11175,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[10.04528,46.3625]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.9175,45.96833]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.84472,46.53444]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.90111,46.13639]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[6.99417,46.68944]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[6.47583,46.61861]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.58389,47.35278]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[5.65417,50.92444]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[11.77417,61.89833]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.8975,61.89833]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[29.71917,69.40111]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[26.51917,70.34361]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[7.05028,47.23806]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[6.71389,46.57333]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[9.21222,47.3225]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[13.011,48.909]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[12.056,47.687]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[13.41,48.94]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[13.422,48.9509]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[6.52583,46.84861]}]},"bbox":[5.65417,45.96833,29.71917,70.34361],"properties":{"title":"Reinstatement of Leuctra biellensis Festa, 1942 (Plecoptera, Leuctridae)","type":"article","abstract":"Both molecular and morphologic characters support the reinstatement of Leuctra biellensis Festa, 1942 as a valid species distinct from Leuctra nigra (Olivier, 1811).

Male adult of the nearest Chaetocladius species known from Europe and neighbouring areas belong to: C. aedeagolobatus Rossaro, Magoga & Montagna, 2017; C. insolitus Caspers, 1987; C. gracilis Brundin 1956; C. antipovae Makarchenko & Makarchenko, 2011; C. dissipatus (Edwards, 1929), C. holmgreni (Jacobson, 1998), C. egorych Makarchenko & Makarchenko, 2017. Although some resemblance can be found between the five diagnosed and described species and other related members of the Chaetocladius genus, the taxonomic position cannot be clarified until current comprehensive work on the genus is complete. Geographical distribution of the five new species is currently restricted to the two Alpine Swiss glacial catchments: upper basins of the Rhône River and Muttbach streams; streams and lakes delimited by the Macun area. This highlights the importance of some high mountain ranges, considered as cold glacial enclaves and hotspots of endemism, in the preservation and persistence of autochthonous alpine relic species. Such species are considered as relevant biogeographic representative and their loss would be biologically indicative of global warming and climate change. Currently, there are only seven recorded Chaetocladius species from Switzerland: C. coppai Moubayed-Breil, 2017; C. laminatus Brundin, 1947; C. cf. longivirgatus Stur & Spies, 2011; C. melaleucus (Meigen, 1818); C. perennis (Meigen, 1830); C. piger (Goetghebuer, 1913); C. suecicus (Kieffer, 1916). Consequently, the description of the five new species increases the total number in the genus Chaetocladius to twelve for this country. Remarks and comments on the taxonomic position, ecology and geographical distribution of the new described species, with key to known male adults from the upper catchment of Rhône River (including Muttbach valley) are provided..","publicationDate":"2018-01-01","doi":"10.3897/alpento.2.22759","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/alpento.2.22759","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["CH"],"source_details":{"id":71,"name":"Alpine Entomology","slug":"alpine-entomology","issn_l":"2535-0889","openalex_id":"S4210217666","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210217666","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210217666","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://alpineentomology.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/71/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/alpine-entomology/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-alpine-entomology.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-alpine-entomology.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Moubayed-Breil","Joel"],"keywords":["ChironomidaeOrthocladiinae new species glacial streams Swiss Alps conservation"],"topics":["Freshwater macroinvertebrate diversity and ecology","Aquatic Invertebrate Ecology and Behavior","Invertebrate Taxonomy and Ecology"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2794115025","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/alpento.2.22759","mag":"2794115025","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W2794115025"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11172,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[7.65,46.33333]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[7.65778,46.33472]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[7.6475,46.33222]}]},"bbox":[7.6475,46.33222,7.65778,46.33472],"properties":{"title":"From the South and from the North? – Quilnus marcosi Heiss & Baena and Aradus angularis J.

These are also the first records for Central Europe. With these new records, the number of Aradidae species recorded in Switzerland increases to 21, and in the canton Valais to 16. A cantonal record list of aradid species in Switzerland and photographs of the two recently new recorded species are provided. The pyrophilous A. angularis shows a disjunct distribution pattern, disconnected from its known distributional range from Fennoscandia to Northeast China, which suggests that the species is a relict of the Ice Age in Central Europe. In contrast, the sub-Mediterranean Q. marcosi seems to have expanded its distributional range to the north-east or has previously gone unnoticed in Switzerland. The host plants of Q. marcosi include Pinus nigra and P.

A. tonsa is a species that occupies productive estuaries and coastal zones extending from tropical and subtropical regions to higher latitudes throughout the World Ocean. In many regions, it becomes the dominant species within the zooplankton community during the spring and summer seasons. Upon invading non-native ecosystems of higher latitudes, its high abundance allows it to dominate zooplankton communities, playing a vital role in climate-mediated food web shifts; it has the potential to displace native copepod species. Nevertheless, it continues to serve as a crucial dietary component for a wide variety of zooplanktivorous fish. The morphological identification of the genus Acartia presents significant challenges. To date, no genetic methodologies have been employed to address this issue. This research utilizes genetic analyses, including the amplification of the mitochondrial markers CO1, 16S, and Cytb, along with the nuclear marker 18S, to explore the diversity within the genus Acartia offering new insights into spatial distribution of A. tonsa in the warming World Ocean.","publicationDate":"2026-01-01","doi":"10.3897/natureconservation.64.194441","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.64.194441","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["BG","IR"],"source_details":{"id":70,"name":"Nature Conservation","slug":"nature-conservation","issn_l":"1314-3301","openalex_id":"S2764730374","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S2764730374","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S2764730374","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://natureconservation.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/70/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/nature-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Shiganova","Tamara"],"keywords":["Acartia tonsa"],"topics":["Marine and coastal ecosystems","Marine Ecology and Invasive Species","Aquatic Ecosystems and Phytoplankton Dynamics"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W7163004191","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.64.194441","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W7163004191"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11134,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[108.0663,11.4489]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[108.067,11.2764]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[107.7046,11.3943]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[108.1597,11.5513]}]},"bbox":[107.7046,11.2764,108.1597,11.5513],"properties":{"title":"New insights into the distribution, larval morphology, and genetic diversity of the endangered toad, Ophryophryne gerti (Amphibia, Anura, Megophryidae), in Vietnam","type":"article","abstract":"Ophryophryne gerti, an endangered toad endemic to the Langbian Plateau, Vietnam, has been known only from a restricted range in Bidoup Nui Ba and Chu Yang Sin National Parks. The conservation and sustainability of the species require knowledge of its true distribution, life history, and genetic diversity. During field surveys from July 2022 to September 2023 on the Di Linh Plateau, the southernmost extent of the Truong Son Range, adult and tadpole specimens of O. gerti were collected. A 940 bp fragment of the mitochondrial 12S rRNA–16S rRNA region was sequenced for phylogenetic and population genetic analyses. Our findings extend the species’ known range approximately 66 km southward, documenting its presence at lower elevations (500–2000 m). Tadpoles of O. gerti are characterized by an oval, depressed body; dorsolateral eyes; sinistral spiracle; pointed tail tip; and keratodont-free oral disc with serrated jaw sheaths. Phylogenetic analyses confirmed that the newly collected Di Linh specimens belong to O. gerti, which is closely related to O. synoria. Ten haplotypes were detected across populations, with Di Linh showing higher haplotype diversity (Hd = 0.993) but slightly lower nucleotide diversity (π = 0.00465) than Bidoup–Chu Yang Sin (Hd = 0.791; π = 0.00485). Both genetic indices and neutrality tests revealed that populations of this species are threatened in the wild, including Di Linh and well-protected areas such as Bidoup–Nui Ba and Chu Yang Sin National Parks. The Di Linh populations carried excess rare variation or low-frequency polymorphisms due to habitat fragmentation. These results highlight the Di Linh Plateau as an important conservation unit for O. gerti and emphasize the need to protect fragmented forest habitats to preserve the species’ genetic diversity and adaptive potential.","publicationDate":"2026-01-01","doi":"10.3897/natureconservation.63.174035","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.63.174035","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["VN"],"source_details":{"id":70,"name":"Nature Conservation","slug":"nature-conservation","issn_l":"1314-3301","openalex_id":"S2764730374","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S2764730374","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S2764730374","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://natureconservation.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/70/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/nature-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Le","Duong Thi Thuy"],"keywords":["12S rRNA"],"topics":["Amphibian and Reptile Biology","Animal Behavior and Reproduction","Antimicrobial Peptides and Activities"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W7140315064","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.63.174035","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W7140315064"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11132,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-116.6,52.03]}]},"bbox":[-116.6,52.03,-116.6,52.03],"properties":{"title":"Acoustic analysis shows Clark’s Nutcracker seasonal and spatial habitat use during post-fire recovery of two endangered pine species","type":"article","abstract":"Whitebark pine (Pinus albicaulis) and limber pine (Pinus flexilis) are endangered species in Alberta that rely on seed caching by Clark’s Nutcracker (Nucifraga columbiana) for regeneration. Our objective was to determine which factors affect Clark’s Nutcracker habitat use at the northern range limit of 5-needle pine co-occurrence, during fall foraging when seeds are cached, and during the following spring when seed caches are retrieved. This information is essential to inform recovery plans on potential for natural dispersal and regeneration on burns intended for 5-needle pine management. On a large, 2009 prescribed burn in Alberta (5600 ha), we used six automated acoustic recording devices from fall 2018 to spring 2020 to quantify Clark’s Nutcracker habitat use. We tested whether Clark’s Nutcracker habitat use differed between mast (2018) and non-mast years (2019), between whitebark and limber pine habitat, and burned versus unburned habitat. We used KALEIDOSCOPE PRO acoustic analysis software to quantify nutcracker calls from nearly 2000 hours of recordings with an advanced classifier. Model selection using Akaike’s information criterion suggests that nutcracker habitat use depended on masting, habitat type, burned habitat, distance from seed sources, and one or more interactions, in both fall and spring foraging periods. Results from our study show that in the fall when both pine species produce high numbers of cones in close proximity, Clark’s Nutcracker used whitebark pine habitat more, particularly unburned stands, suggesting more caching behavior. In the spring when seeds are retrieved, nutcracker habitat use was greater in the non-mast year, particularly in burned whitebark pine habitat. These habitat-use results suggest that in the 2018 mast year, both pine species benefitted from attracting seed dispersers, and further benefitted from lower habitat use the following spring, when caches are vulnerable to seed predation by nutcrackers. Whitebark pine attracted more nutcracker habitat use with fewer trees, and fewer cones per tree than limber pine. The 2009 prescribed burn created attractive habitat for Clark’s nutcracker 9–11 years post-fire, demonstrating that opportunities for seed dispersal occur during this period. Continued use of trees resistant to white pine blister rust (Cronartium ribicola) by dispersers is essential for natural regeneration to be effective in current recovery strategies, and to leverage existing plantings of white pine blister rust resistant seedling as they reach cone production age in the future.","publicationDate":"2026-01-01","doi":"10.3897/natureconservation.63.171832","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.63.171832","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["CA"],"source_details":{"id":70,"name":"Nature Conservation","slug":"nature-conservation","issn_l":"1314-3301","openalex_id":"S2764730374","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S2764730374","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S2764730374","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://natureconservation.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/70/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/nature-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Peters","Vernon"],"keywords":["Acoustic analysis"],"topics":["Fire effects on ecosystems","Forest Ecology and Biodiversity Studies","Wood Treatment and Properties"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W7140304687","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.63.171832","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W7140304687"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11130,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-107.16667,52.7]}]},"bbox":[-107.16667,52.7,-107.16667,52.7],"properties":{"title":"Conservation of threatened vascular plants in intensive agricultural landscapes in Canada","type":"article","abstract":"With a steadily shrinking natural landscape in the province of Saskatchewan, Canada, mainly caused by intensive agriculture, conservation of threatened plants in situ should become a priority to prevent their extinction. The aim of this study is to identify native vascular plants at risk in the Redberry Lake Biosphere Region (RLBR) to support evidence-based conservation management. Such criteria as species distribution, richness, population size, habitat affinities, existing threats, conservation status, and gaps in the current protection were applied to develop the conservation strategies. The field surveys were conducted during 2010–2025 in various habitats of the RLBR within the Prairie and Boreal Plain ecozones. In total, 46 taxa (31 species, 5 subspecies and 10 varieties) of conservation concern in 19 families and 34 genera were identified. The top represented families Orchidaceae, Cyperaceae, and Poaceae and such genera as Carex, Cypripedium, and Potentilla make the largest contribution to the threatened flora. The study revealed that the majority of species occurrences and richness hotspots with 5–10 species each are concentrated in the Aspen Parkland ecoregion of the Prairie ecozone. It was found that most threatened plants occur in a few isolated sites, and their survival depends on the small population size as the consequence of recent habitat loss due to human activities. The conducted analysis identified seven hotspots of species richness, including three of them outside of the core area and the buffer zone of the RLBR designated for biodiversity protection.         Threatened plants were categorized under the NatureServe criteria at the subnational (provincial) level as follows: S1– Critically Imperiled/Extremely rare (2 taxa), S2– Imperiled/Very rare (7), and S3– Vulnerable/Rare to uncommon (37). Among them, five species were assessed at the national level (N3) and two species at the global level (G3). Two S3 species from this listing are simultaneously ranked as VU– Vulnerable and NT– Near Threatened under the IUCN criteria. It was found that threatened plants are vulnerable to habitat loss, successional overgrowth, spread of invasive alien species, and wetland interventions. These threats are resulting from land use history, current unsustainable agricultural practices, and a lack of proper conservation management.         The RLBR is one of the areas in Canada with the most heavily modified ecosystems where conservation management such as grazing, clearing, prescribed fire and invasive alien species control is needed in the majority habitats of threatened plants. This can be substantially enhanced by introducing novel conservation approaches, such as establishing Important Plant Areas in the buffer zone and recognising other effective area-based conservation measures in the transition area of the RLBR. These conservation strategies are important for raising public awareness and prompting political actions, but smaller-scale actions are also needed by local conservation practitioners.","publicationDate":"2026-01-01","doi":"10.3897/natureconservation.63.177517","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.63.177517","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["CA"],"source_details":{"id":70,"name":"Nature Conservation","slug":"nature-conservation","issn_l":"1314-3301","openalex_id":"S2764730374","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S2764730374","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S2764730374","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://natureconservation.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/70/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/nature-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Kricsfalusy","Vladimir"],"keywords":["Conservation"],"topics":["Botany, Ecology, and Taxonomy Studies","Biological Control of Invasive Species","Ecology and biodiversity studies"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W7135172072","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.63.177517","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W7135172072"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11129,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[75.01,39.7]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[83.66,38.97]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[75.19,39.72]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[75.27,39.72]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[74.88,39.5]}]},"bbox":[74.88,38.97,83.66,39.72],"properties":{"title":"Evaluating the conservation effectiveness of Ammopiptanthus nanus (Fabaceae) under different ex situ strategies through multi-molecular marker analysis","type":"article","abstract":"Ammopiptanthus nanus       (Fabaceae), a nationally protected endangered evergreen shrub endemic to Central Asian deserts, is severely threatened by habitat fragmentation.

Despite numerous studies on wetland restoration, the complexities of restoring ecosystem functions remain challenging. Complete restoration of natural functions is rare, and therefore seldom the primary target; instead, restoration efforts typically focus on reactivating key ecological processes. This study examines the restoration of ecosystem functions in floodplains and coastal wetlands, focusing on water quality improvement. It summarizes both nitrogen and phosphorus dynamics, highlighting the potential to restore processes like denitrification and sedimentation within relatively short time frames using selected case studies from Central Europe. However, restoration success is hindered by altered soil properties, nutrient legacy, and other degradation-related constraints. Ultimately, the effectiveness of restoration endeavors depends on site-specific factors such as wetland degradation, size, hydrological connectivity, plant recovery, and ongoing global changes.

We examine the diversity of ecosystems in the Cerrado, highlighting their specific vulnerabilities and the inadequacy of current legal instruments to guarantee their protection. Our analysis covers the main vectors of pressure on the territory, such as the advance of the agricultural frontier, the predatory use of fire, the silent water crisis, and threats to Indigenous peoples, highlighting how these factors operate in an interconnected manner to disrupt the region’s ecosystem services. The limitations of current conservation policies and the invisibility of species and ecosystems in the face of the dominant legal and economic systems are also discussed. Our review proposes ways to mitigate or even reverse this scenario, including increasing the number of Conservation Units and Indigenous lands, valuing regenerative economies, expanding protected areas, and strengthening territorial and climate governance. The defense of the Cerrado is presented here not only as an ecological imperative but as an agenda for environmental justice, water security, and intergenerational responsibility. By integrating data, references, conceptual reflections, and action strategies, we hope to contribute to repositioning the Cerrado at the center of discussions on conservation, climate, and sustainable development.","publicationDate":"2026-01-01","doi":"10.3897/natureconservation.61.168273","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.61.168273","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["BR"],"source_details":{"id":70,"name":"Nature Conservation","slug":"nature-conservation","issn_l":"1314-3301","openalex_id":"S2764730374","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S2764730374","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S2764730374","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://natureconservation.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/70/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/nature-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Pereira","Cássio Cardoso"],"keywords":["Afforestation"],"topics":["Conservation, Biodiversity, and Resource Management","Amazonian Archaeology and Ethnohistory","Environmental and biological studies"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W7119468317","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.61.168273","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W7119468317"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11098,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[101.63755,3.15192]}]},"bbox":[101.63755,3.15192,101.63755,3.15192],"properties":{"title":"Behavioural responses of fireflies to artificial light: red lights attract adult Lamprigera (Coleoptera, Lampyridae)","type":"article","abstract":"Artificial lights expanding into natural environments disrupt ecological systems, affecting organisms that depend on natural light cues. Fireflies, which use bioluminescence for communication, are especially vulnerable. Although red light has been suggested as a solution, its effectiveness varies. This study examines how adult male and larval Lamprigera fireflies respond to varying intensities of artificial light at different wavelengths. We conducted field observations on adult male attraction patterns and ex situ studies of larval behaviour. Adult males were attracted to red and warm-white light, whereas larvae showed no response to red light or low-intensity light. Higher-intensity warm-white and cool-white light suppressed overall larval activity, with increasing intensity amplifying negative impacts regardless of spectral composition. Our findings indicate that successful light mitigation strategies for fireflies require balancing life stage-specific responses while maintaining artificial light intensities that minimise ecological impacts yet preserve human visual function.","publicationDate":"2026-01-01","doi":"10.3897/natureconservation.61.146507","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.61.146507","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["MY"],"source_details":{"id":70,"name":"Nature Conservation","slug":"nature-conservation","issn_l":"1314-3301","openalex_id":"S2764730374","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S2764730374","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S2764730374","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://natureconservation.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/70/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/nature-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Muharraran","Fathan"],"keywords":["Bioluminescence"],"topics":["bioluminescence and chemiluminescence research","Retinal Development and Disorders","Photochromic and Fluorescence Chemistry"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W7119488831","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.61.146507","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W7119488831"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11092,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[27.97724,43.21734]}]},"bbox":[27.97724,43.21734,27.97724,43.21734],"properties":{"title":"First record of the white trevally (Pseudocaranx dentex) in the Black Sea: a new occurrence from Bulgarian coastal waters","type":"article","abstract":"This study documents the first confirmed record of the white trevally (Pseudocaranx dentex) in the Black Sea.

This observation represents the northernmost occurrence of the species along the western Black Sea coast, extending its known distribution beyond the transitional zone of the Bosphorus. The present record from Varna Bay is located approximately 330 km north of the previous northernmost confirmed occurrence in the Bosphorus Strait, marking a substantial northward extension along the western Black Sea coastline. Identification was based on morphological and meristic characteristics. Despite abundant benthic prey in the area, the specimen’s empty stomach may indicate a recent arrival or a trophic mismatch. The finding supports the hypothesis of meridionalization and climate-driven range shifts of thermophilic fishes. Sea surface temperatures in the region have increased by ~0.5 °C per decade since the 1990s, creating favorable conditions for warm-water species. As a fast-growing, generalist predator, P. dentex may alter food web dynamics and interact with native species. This record underscores the need for sustained ichthyofaunal monitoring and further research on the ecological implications of thermophilic newcomers in the Black Sea.","publicationDate":"2025-01-01","doi":"10.3897/natureconservation.60.168638","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.60.168638","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["BG"],"source_details":{"id":70,"name":"Nature Conservation","slug":"nature-conservation","issn_l":"1314-3301","openalex_id":"S2764730374","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S2764730374","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S2764730374","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://natureconservation.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/70/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/nature-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Bekova","Radoslava"],"keywords":["Climate-driven dispersal"],"topics":["Marine and environmental studies","Marine Ecology and Invasive Species","Environmental and Biological Research in Conflict Zones"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4416499811","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.60.168638","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4416499811"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11090,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-64.33333,-15.06667]}]},"bbox":[-64.33333,-15.06667,-64.33333,-15.06667],"properties":{"title":"Rediscovery of a thought to be extinct beauty: a second chance for conservation","type":"article","abstract":"Some rivulids are specialized to live in temporary or ephemeral water bodies, and for this reason they are known as annual or seasonal fishes.

In Bolivia, one of the countries with the highest recent loss of primary tropical forests, of 32 recorded species, more than half (19) are endemic, and nearly one-third (9) are known only from their type localities. Of the 20 species assessed by the IUCN that occur in the country, eight have been classified in some threat category, and one of them, Moema claudiae (Costa, 2003), is listed as Critically Endangered and possibly extinct. The species had not been recorded in the wild for more than 20 years, and its only known locality—as well as much of its potential distribution area—have been severely degraded and are now occupied by extensive agroindustrial crops. In this work, we report the finding of a population of Moema claudiae recently discovered in a temporary pond within a small forest remnant surrounded by crops. This discovery allows us to provide the first live photographs of the species, along with previously unknown aspects of its biology and ecology. Furthermore, it offers an exceptional opportunity of a second chance to conserve a species that was already believed to be extinct and lost forever.","publicationDate":"2025-01-01","doi":"10.3897/natureconservation.60.160386","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.60.160386","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["BO"],"source_details":{"id":70,"name":"Nature Conservation","slug":"nature-conservation","issn_l":"1314-3301","openalex_id":"S2764730374","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S2764730374","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S2764730374","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://natureconservation.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/70/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/nature-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Drawert","Heinz Arno"],"keywords":["Aquatic ecosystems"],"topics":["Fish biology, ecology, and behavior","Aquatic Ecosystems and Phytoplankton Dynamics","Crustacean biology and ecology"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4416228403","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.60.160386","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4416228403"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11082,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[21.5,18.5]}]},"bbox":[21.5,18.5,21.5,18.5],"properties":{"title":"Assessment of the vulnerability of Spiny Lizards in Central Mexico under anthropogenic pressure: integrating habitat suitability, landscape connectivity, fragmentation and protected area coverage","type":"article","abstract":"The genus Sceloporus represents a diverse and ecologically significant group of lizards within the Mexican herpetofauna, particularly in the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt (TMVB), a region of exceptional endemism increasingly threatened by anthropogenic pressures. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive spatial vulnerability assessment of 17 species of Sceloporus that are present in the TMVB, integrating ecological niche modelling (ENM), habitat fragmentation metrics, land-use exposure and protected area overlap. Binary distribution maps were generated from the ensemble models optimised with biomod2. For each species, we calculated the habitat area, number of habitat patches and mean patch size, synthesising these values into a composite vulnerability index. Land-use pressures were quantified through spatial overlaying of urban, agricultural and pasture-land layers, followed by principal component analysis (PCA) and k-means clustering to generate a multivariate anthropogenic pressure zonation. Species distributions were also compared against those of state and federal protected areas. ​​The 17-species analysis revealed noteworthy variation in spatial dimensions and fragmentation of habitat, exhibiting high spatial vulnerability and high exposure to anthropogenic pressure. Furthermore, our results revealed that the predicted habitats of all 17 species overlap with highly transformed urban landscapes. A bivariate risk assessment identified S. megalepidurus as the only species with both high pressure and high vulnerability, while the species S. anahuacus, S. albiventris and S. minor, currently listed as “least concern” or “not evaluated” by the IUCN, showed alarming risk signals when spatially explicit metrics were incorporated. Our integrative framework underscores the need to revisit conservation assessments by incorporating habitat quality, fragmentation and exposure to land-use pressures, not just geographic range.","publicationDate":"2025-01-01","doi":"10.3897/natureconservation.59.159660","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.59.159660","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["TD"],"source_details":{"id":70,"name":"Nature Conservation","slug":"nature-conservation","issn_l":"1314-3301","openalex_id":"S2764730374","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S2764730374","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S2764730374","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://natureconservation.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/70/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/nature-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Vargas-Jaimes","Jossye"],"keywords":["Anthropogenic pressure"],"topics":["Species Distribution and Climate Change","Wildlife Ecology and Conservation","Ecology and Vegetation Dynamics Studies"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4414792849","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.59.159660","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4414792849"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11066,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-106.27626,60.00585]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-106.00548,49.04804]}]},"bbox":[-106.27626,49.04804,-106.00548,60.00585],"properties":{"title":"Integrating herbarium data with spatial biodiversity assessment into conservation plans: A case study of the genus Carex L. (Cyperaceae) in Saskatchewan, Canada","type":"article","abstract":"Sedge (Carex L.) is the largest genus of vascular plants in Saskatchewan, Canada, where it is represented by 105 species. The aim of this study was to develop an effective procedure to assess the conservation status of sedges in the province. Data on 49 target Carex species were collected, validated, and consolidated from the Flora of Saskatchewan Association (FOSA) and the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) datasets, resulting in 277 specimen-based occurrences. Applying a novel assessment approach, target Carex species were classified as follows: Critically Endangered (CR) – six taxa, Endangered (EN) – four, Vulnerable (VU) – eight, Near Threatened (NT) – three, Least Concern (LC) – 24, and Data Deficient (DD) – four. This allowed for a substantial reduction to a list of rare sedges compiled by the Saskatchewan Conservation Data Centre (SKCDC) from 40 species (38.1% in the genus) to 21 species (20.0%).     In terms of territorial protection, rare sedges (CR, EN, VU and NT conservation categories) have been recorded only in 13 or 4.0% of protected areas in Saskatchewan. Most sedges (12 species or 57.1%) have no recorded occurrences in the protected areas. This group is followed by five species (23.8%) found in a single protected area, three species (14.3%) recorded in two protected areas, and one species (4.76%) observed in three protected areas. Anthropogenic land use changes such as agriculture, urbanization, and industrial activities are the major threats to sedges in Saskatchewan. An effective action plan for the conservation of Carex species is crucial to reduce threats to this group of plants.

This is because these organisms can play a key role in shaping soil structure and community dynamics, making them essential to understanding these processes. This study investigates the recovery of soil macroarthropod diversity, density, and biomass across different stages of natural regrowth, focusing on the taxonomic groups and feeding guilds dynamics. Macroarthropod communities were analyzed along a chronosequence (young-age, middle-age, and old-growth) including their vertical distribution (litter, 0–10 cm, 10–20 cm, and 20–30 cm). A total of 20 plots and 100 Tropical Soil Biology and Fertility Programme (TSBF) soil monoliths were sampled. Results revealed an increase in total macroarthropod diversity, biomass, and density with regrowth, but these patterns do not occur in the same way for all macroarthropod groups, emphasizing the complexity of ecological succession. Termites were key ecosystem engineers, shaping community composition at each regrowth stage. Predators and decomposers also exhibited significant changes in response to regrowth, reflecting their sensitivity to ecological disturbances. In contrast, ants and some herbivores showed higher densities and biomass in pastures and early regrowth stages, with notable shifts in species composition over time. Vertical distribution of macroarthropods revealed higher activity at the 0–10 cm depth, with similarities in the composition in litter and 10–20 cm soil depth, highlighting soil microarthropod importance in soil mineralization and humification. These findings underscore the critical role of ecosystem engineers in soil restoration and highlight the need for the conservation of soil biology to enhance soil health.","publicationDate":"2025-01-01","doi":"10.3897/natureconservation.58.136370","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.58.136370","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["CO"],"source_details":{"id":70,"name":"Nature Conservation","slug":"nature-conservation","issn_l":"1314-3301","openalex_id":"S2764730374","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S2764730374","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S2764730374","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://natureconservation.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/70/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/nature-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Castro","Daniel"],"keywords":["Density"],"topics":["Ecology and Vegetation Dynamics Studies","Plant and animal studies","Insect and Arachnid Ecology and Behavior"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4409264950","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.58.136370","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4409264950"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11052,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[15.44281,52.31664]}]},"bbox":[15.44281,52.31664,15.44281,52.31664],"properties":{"title":"Predation on endangered mussels by invasive raccoons: a case study from western Poland","type":"article","abstract":"The raccoon Procyon lotor is an invasive alien carnivorous mammal whose impact on populations of native species in Europe is poorly understood. Raccoon populations are rising both in range and density, which increases predation pressure. The raccoon is a food opportunist and its impact on local animal populations depends on the availability of food, especially during the critical winter period. In the winter of 2020–2021, we observed an extreme accumulation of empty shells of native mussels (Bivalvia, Unionidae) foraged by raccoons in the Lubuskie Lakeland in western Poland. The aim of this study was to determine whether mussels could be an important food source for raccoons during the difficult winter period in areas where they have been introduced. We hypothesised that raccoons would prefer thin-shelled mussels over thick-shelled species as their food. We identified the mussel species and estimated their numbers in the piles of shells found on the small river banks. The raccoons’ prey consisted of 2,340 mussels belonging to three genera (Anodonta, Pseudanodonta, Unio) and five species (Anodonta cygnea, Anodonta anatina, Unio pictorum, Unio tumidus, Pseudanodonta complanata).

A fragment of cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene of mitochondrial DNA was sequenced to supplement species identification. Phylogenetic analysis has revealed a high genetic similarity (over 99%) between the Bulgarian sample and samples from various geographic locations (Ukraine, China, Bangladesh, Iran, Iraq, and Russia).

Ecological corridors are essential for maintaining structural as well as functional connectivity in cultural landscapes for wildlife, while providing interchange between core areas. In two pilot areas in the north-western and eastern part of Austria, ecological corridors were delineated using a geographic information system (GIS). The pilot areas are key to preserving ecological connectivity and are located along important international migration corridors (Bohemian Forest-Northern Alps corridor, Alpine-Carpathian corridor). Both areas are situated in highly human-altered and therefore dissected as well as fragmented landscapes. A one-year monitoring campaign using camera traps was carried out at selected locations along proposed ecological corridors in the cultural landscape and at wildlife crossings structures (WCSs) at intersections with road infrastructure. The monitoring was focused on mammals with a total of 18 species being observed. The most abundant species were roe deer, European hare and wild boar. European otter, European beaver, golden jackal and wildcat have only rarely been observed. Mammal species richness was positively correlated with the presence of vegetation cover and the coefficient of ecological stability (CES). The insights obtained can be used for recommendations and support in planning the planting of vegetation (use of grasslands, scattered and continuous woody vegetation, agroforestry systems) on the sites and in the vicinity of ecological corridors. The green bridges (wildlife overpasses) were used more frequently as well as by a larger number of mammal species compared to other studied WCSs showing characteristics that are less favourable for animals. The effectiveness of WCSs is mainly influenced by human activities, resulting in the recommendation to limit them on WCSs located along the routes of ecological corridors. We point out that actual wildlife migration corridors are likely to differ from designated data-driven ecological corridors generated by spatially explicit models, because these generally do not take into account all factors relating to the effectiveness of corridors. Our results suggest, that the application of the concept of functional connectivity is able to enhance the quality of ecological corridor designations, since usually they are based only on the concept of structural connectivity. For this reason, further studies are needed to help understanding factors and their specificities influencing the interplay between structural and functional connectivity of ecological corridors.","publicationDate":"2024-01-01","doi":"10.3897/natureconservation.57.117154","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.57.117154","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["AT"],"source_details":{"id":70,"name":"Nature Conservation","slug":"nature-conservation","issn_l":"1314-3301","openalex_id":"S2764730374","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S2764730374","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S2764730374","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://natureconservation.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/70/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/nature-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Jurečka","Mořic"],"keywords":["Alpine-Carpathian corridor"],"topics":["Wildlife-Road Interactions and Conservation","Wildlife Ecology and Conservation","Ecology and biodiversity studies"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4405446090","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.57.117154","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4405446090"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11030,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[2.352,48.856]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-0.579,44.837]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-1.553,47.218]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[1.8076,47.8644]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[2.2622,50.94]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[6.0075,47.337]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-1.4243,47.0602]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[4.585,48.726]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[1.37,48.736]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[1.613,50.725]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[1.511,49.027]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[7.358,48.079]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-0.868,47.689]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-1.051,43.708]}]},"bbox":[-1.553,43.708,7.358,50.94],"properties":{"title":"Use of linear transportation infrastructure rights-of-way as an ecological shelter: National asset estimate and stakeholder involvement","type":"article","abstract":"For a number of years, the rights-of-way (ROW) of several types of linear transportation infrastructure (LTI), such as roads, railways, waterways and power lines, have been regarded as possible shelter for biodiversity, notably local flora and entomofauna.

We examined owl pellets and found that burrowing owl diets were relatively low in vertebrate prey during their brief occupation of the restoration site (2.6% of prey items; found in 61.8% of sampled pellets).

Pollen flow is an important factor influencing the genetic structure of plant populations, holding significant relevance in the conservation of endangered plants. In this study, we present a comprehensive exploration of the pollination biology of Cymbidium kanran, encompassing investigations into its flowering phenology, breeding system, floral volatile components, and interactions with pollinating insects. The results showed that: 1) C. kanran exclusively relies on external pollination mechanisms, as automatic self-pollination or apomixis mechanisms are conspicuously absent. Consequently, the natural fruit set rate is significantly lower compared to artificial pollination, highlighting a pronounced pollination limitation. 2) Apis cerana emerges as the primary effective pollinating insect for C. kanran, adeptly carrying both pollinia and anther caps during the pollination process. Notably, C. kanran does not provide any rewards, such as nectar or edible pollen, to entice the pollinators. 3) Contrary to expectations, our glass cylinder experiment demonstrates that the flower color of C. kanran lacks significant attractiveness to pollinators (p=0.1341>0.05). However, the scent emitted by the flowers exhibits considerable allure (p=0.0004<0.05), despite C. kanran boasting one of the most diverse color variations within the Cymbidium genus. 4) Based on dynamic fluctuations in floral volatile components during different flowering stages, we hypothesize that hexanal, heptanal, octanal, 2-pentyl furan, 4-methyl-2-pentanone, and 1,4-cyclooctadiene may serve as pivotal volatile compounds responsible for attracting pollinators. This study establishes a robust scientific foundation for the conservation efforts concerning C. kanran, thereby facilitating the sustainable management and protection of its wild resources.","publicationDate":"2024-01-01","doi":"10.3897/natureconservation.56.126919","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.56.126919","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["CN"],"source_details":{"id":70,"name":"Nature Conservation","slug":"nature-conservation","issn_l":"1314-3301","openalex_id":"S2764730374","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S2764730374","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S2764730374","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://natureconservation.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/70/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/nature-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Luo","Huo-Lin"],"keywords":["Apis cerana"],"topics":["Plant and animal studies","Plant Parasitism and Resistance","Plant Reproductive Biology"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4401760453","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.56.126919","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4401760453"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":11005,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[23.35997,45.22822]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[22.07206,44.65175]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[23.37661,45.218]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[22.34794,44.73314]}]},"bbox":[22.07205,44.65175,23.37661,45.22822],"properties":{"title":"Rubus plicatus Weihe & Nees: resilience to pollution caused by stone quarries","type":"article","abstract":"This study aimed to analyze the effect of pollution caused by stone quarries on the morpho-anatomy, biochemistry, and physiology of a medicinal wild bramble Rubus plicatus Weihe & Nees.

The Varna transect comprises three cores extending from the outer shelf, continental slope and deep-water zone. The record spans the last 26000 years (all ages obtained in this study are given in calendar years BP (cal. yrs BP)). The pollen record reveals the spreading of steppe vegetation dominated by Artemisia and Chenopodiaceae, suggesting cold and dry environments during the Late Pleniglacial – Oldest Dryas (25903–15612 cal. yrs BP). Stands of Pinus and Quercus reflect warming/humidity increase during the melting pulses (19.2–14.5 cal. ka BP) and the Late Glacial interstadials Bølling and Allerød. The Younger Dryas (13257–11788 cal. yrs BP) coldest and driest environments are clearly demonstrated by the maximum relative abundance of Artemisia and Chenopodiaceae. During the Early Holocene (Preboreal and Boreal chronozones, 11788–8004 cal. yrs BP), Quercus appeared as a pioneer species and, along with other temperate deciduous arboreal taxa, formed open deciduous forests as a response to the increased temperature. The rapid expansion of these taxa indicates that they survived in Glacial refugia in the coastal mountains. During the Atlantic chronozone (8004–5483 cal. yrs BP), optimal climate conditions (high humidity and increased mean annual temperatures) stimulated the establishment of species-rich mixed temperate deciduous forests. During the Subboreal chronozone (5483–2837 cal. yrs BP), Carpinus betulus and Fagus expanded simultaneously and became more important components of mixed oak forests and probably also formed separate communities. During the Subatlantic chronozone (2837 cal. yrs BP to pre-industrial time), climate-driven changes (an increase of humidity and a cooling of the climate) appear to be the main drivers of the specific vegetation succession expressed by increased abundance of Alnus, Fraxinus excelsior and Salix along with lianas, suggesting formation of flooded riparian forests (so called ‘Longoz’) lining the river valleys along the Black Sea coast. The first indicators of farming and other human activities have been recorded since 7074 cal. yrs BP. The dinoflagellate cyst (dinocyst) assemblages have been analysed to assess the changes in the Black Sea environment over the last 26000 years in terms of fluctuation in paleoproduction and surface water conditions related to changes in climate, freshwater input and Mediterranean water intrusion. Two major dinocyst assemblages were distinguished: one dominated by stenohaline freshwater/brackish-water species and a successive one dominated by euryhaline marine species. The changes in the composition of the assemblages occurred at 7668 cal. yrs BP. The abrupt decrease of stenohaline freshwater/brackish-water species Pyxidinopsis psilata and Spiniferites cruciformis was followed upwards by a gradual increase in euryhaline marine species, such as Lingulodinium machaerophorum, Spiniferites belerius, S. bentorii and acritarch Cymatiosphaera globulosa. The first occurrence of euryhaline marine species took place synchronously with the onset of sapropel deposition. Modern marine conditions were established after 6417 cal yrs BP when an abundance of Mediterranean-related species, such as Operculodinium centrocarpum and Spiniferites mirabilis, along with other heterotrophic species, occurred. After the stable cold and dry environment during the Last Glacial Maximum, the phytoplankton record of core AKAD 11-17 shows that Pediastrum boryanum var. boryanum has a cyclical abundance associated with the deposition of four red-brown clay layers between 19.2 and 14.5 cal. ka BP. This event is associated with the major melting phase of European Ice drained by the Danube and Dnieper Rivers in response to climate warming observed after the end of the Last Glacial Maximum. During the Early Holocene, P. psilata, characterised by a preference to warmer temperatures, demonstrates its ecological optimum for growth concerning SST reaching maximum relative abundance of 94% between 11072 and 8638 cal. yrs BP. This maximum was interrupted by an abrupt significant short-term decrease in the relative abundance of P. psilata centred between 8500 and 8300 cal. yrs BP reflecting cold conditions similar to those of Younger Dryas. This finding, also confirmed by the rapid significant decrease of arboreal pollen, particularly of Quercus in the same studied core, is considered a regional expression of the well-known ‘8.2 ka cold event’ which is commonly linked to a meltwater-related perturbation of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) and associated collapse of oceanic northward heat transport. Our fossil pollen and dinocyst data confirm that the high amplitude temperature anomaly associated with ‘the 8.2 ka cold event’ may have also occurred in south-eastern Europe, at lower latitudes of the western Black Sea coastal area, most probably due to atmospheric transition and/or river discharge.","publicationDate":"2024-01-01","doi":"10.3897/natureconservation.55.121842","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.55.121842","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":[],"source_details":{"id":70,"name":"Nature Conservation","slug":"nature-conservation","issn_l":"1314-3301","openalex_id":"S2764730374","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S2764730374","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S2764730374","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://natureconservation.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/70/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/nature-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Filipova-Marinova","Mariana"],"keywords":["Dinoflagellate cyst"],"topics":["Marine and environmental studies","Soil and Environmental Studies","Geology and Paleoclimatology Research"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4398182509","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.55.121842","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4398182509"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10997,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[16.70998,46.52987]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[16.7144,46.53225]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[16.71071,46.52972]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[16.79269,46.46072]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[16.78128,46.46271]}]},"bbox":[16.70998,46.46072,16.79269,46.53225],"properties":{"title":"The greater the proportion of Robinia pseudoacacia in a stand the greater its effect on the population characteristics of Erythronium dens-canis","type":"article","abstract":"Management of invasive alien plants is an increasing problem throughout the world.

Particular vegetation and soil characteristics are critical components of the habitat of E. argus, which is an ectotherm. However, research on the environmental characteristics of E. argus living on a fluvial island is lacking. This study sought to characterize the soil environmental factors and vegetation composition of E. argus habitats on Doriseom Island, South Korea by dividing the island into an area in which E. argus occurred frequently (F zone) and an area in which E. argus occurred rarely (R zone). Both soil hardness and cobble cover were significantly higher in the R zone (soil hardness: 1.6 ± 0.2 kg‧cm-2, mean ± standard error; cobble cover: 40 ± 5%) than in the F zone (soil hardness: 0.9 ± 0.1 kg‧cm-2; cobble cover: 18 ± 3%). Plant litter cover did not differ significantly based on E. argus occurrence. The vegetation composition within F and R zones appeared distinct, though Coreopsis lanceolata dominated both zones. A sand dune sedge, Carex pumila, thrived in F zone sites, where soil hardness was low, while the endemic Aster danyangensis, which prefers cobble areas, was found largely in the R zone. In conclusion, E. argus was most commonly found in areas with low soil hardness dominated by dune vegetation. Understanding endangered species’ habitat requirements can provide important clues for establishing conservation plans and restoration measures.","publicationDate":"2024-01-01","doi":"10.3897/natureconservation.55.113483","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.55.113483","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["KR"],"source_details":{"id":70,"name":"Nature Conservation","slug":"nature-conservation","issn_l":"1314-3301","openalex_id":"S2764730374","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S2764730374","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S2764730374","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://natureconservation.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/70/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/nature-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Cho","Eunhee"],"keywords":["Cobble cover"],"topics":["Species Distribution and Climate Change","Ecology and Vegetation Dynamics Studies","Ecology and Conservation Studies"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4391355516","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.55.113483","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4391355516"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10988,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[16.115,39.689]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[16.2282,39.3675]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.0298,45.4656]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.3957,45.4586]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[7.68,45.2628]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[7.3479,45.1837]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[7.2406,45.1303]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[7.0948,45.1477]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[7.0118,45.1175]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[7.061,45.0661]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[6.8003,45.0276]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[7.3047,45.01]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[7.1791,44.9249]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.7979,46.0824]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.8742,45.823]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[9.1296,45.6274]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[9.125,45.6274]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[9.1228,45.6253]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[10.4421,45.1411]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[10.4361,45.1382]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[10.2409,45.0342]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[10.2299,45.0311]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[10.4894,44.9557]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.9852,45.0344]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[10.477,46.657]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[11.3483,46.4792]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[11.3491,46.4788]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[11.2509,46.1896]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[11.3131,43.0847]}]},"bbox":[6.8003,39.3675,16.2282,46.657],"properties":{"title":"Lost in hostile lands: moths of conservation concern in cultivated and suburban areas of south Italy","type":"article","abstract":"Cultivated and suburban areas are usually considered unfavourable to the vulnerable components of biodiversity and regarded as not interesting from a conservation point of view.

We demonstrate the importance of urbanised and cultivated landscapes by providing new records of two lepidopteran species rare for the Italian Peninsula, namely Amphipyra (Pyrois) cinnamomea and Boudinotiana notha. The European range of A. cinnamomea has become strongly reduced, seeming extinct in some Central European regions and the few Italian records mostly date back several decades. B. notha has very few relict populations in Mediterranean Europe, some of which are in peninsular Italy, where it is threated by urbanisation and reduced precipitations expected in the next decades. Our findings confirm the importance of small and highly fragmented patches of semi-natural vegetation for biodiversity conservation, as they can allow species of conservation interest to persist in hostile lands.","publicationDate":"2023-01-01","doi":"10.3897/natureconservation.54.108425","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.54.108425","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["CH","IT"],"source_details":{"id":70,"name":"Nature Conservation","slug":"nature-conservation","issn_l":"1314-3301","openalex_id":"S2764730374","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S2764730374","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S2764730374","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://natureconservation.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/70/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/nature-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Bevacqua","Laura"],"keywords":["Amphipyra cinnamomea"],"topics":["Plant and animal studies","Ecology and Vegetation Dynamics Studies","Lepidoptera: Biology and Taxonomy"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4390048560","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.54.108425","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4390048560"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10987,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-100.1981,25.51144]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-100.24599,25.66804]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-100.23301,25.71223]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-100.35856,25.63642]}]},"bbox":[-100.35856,25.51144,-100.1981,25.71223],"properties":{"title":"Vegetation changes along an urbanisation and atmospheric pollution gradient in Mexico","type":"article","abstract":"Green areas are important places for biodiversity conservation within cities, but their vegetation is affected by various anthropogenic factors. This study used an exploratory approach to examine the influence of urbanisation and air pollution-related factors on the indicators for the composition and structure of vegetation in an urban area in northeast Mexico. Based on the spatial analysis of the major air pollutants, four sampling categories were delimited (rural, low, moderate and high urbanisation). The differences between categories, based on vegetation structure, were determined using non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis tests. The Importance Value was calculated for the species. The floristic similarity was compared using NMDS and PERMANOVA unidirectional. The relationship between environmental variables and abundance of species was evaluated using CCA. One hundred and ten plant species were collected, including ten alien species. The highest abundance and species richness were registered in the rural site. The general tendency of vegetation structure is to plants decreasing with respect to the increase in the levels of urbanisation and air pollution present in the study area. The association between the environmental variables and plant communities along the urbanisation gradient was significant, being the relative humidity, the particles lower than 2.5 μm, the dew point and the heat index as the most important variables. The understanding of the nature and variability of vegetation within green areas contributes to increasing our knowledge about the distribution of the environmental services they provide and the composition of the faunal communities that depend on them. For this reason, this study relates the plants of a specific area of northeast Mexico with the environmental quality present in an urban area.","publicationDate":"2023-01-01","doi":"10.3897/natureconservation.54.110257","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.54.110257","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["MX"],"source_details":{"id":70,"name":"Nature Conservation","slug":"nature-conservation","issn_l":"1314-3301","openalex_id":"S2764730374","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S2764730374","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S2764730374","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://natureconservation.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/70/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/nature-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Melendez","Edmar"],"keywords":["air pollution"],"topics":["Land Use and Ecosystem Services","Urban Green Space and Health","Urban Heat Island Mitigation"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4390048686","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.54.110257","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4390048686"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10978,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-44.80889,-22.36528]}]},"bbox":[-44.80889,-22.36528,-44.80889,-22.36528],"properties":{"title":"Small reserve but high diversity: butterfly community across an altitudinal gradient in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest","type":"article","abstract":"The present study aimed to describe the composition of the butterfly community in relation to the altitudinal gradient in the Reserva Particular do Patrimônio Natural (RPPN) Alto-Montana, Serra da Mantiqueira, Minas Gerais, Brazil, and to provide a list of species for the area. We collected samples in the RPPN Alto-Montana along an altitudinal gradient from 1400 to 2100 m, between the dry and rainy seasons of 2018 and 2019. During this period, the sampling method utilizing Van-Someren Rydon traps totaled 3,936 hours and the effort using sweep nets totaled 246 hours. A total of 1,253 butterflies distributed across 124 species and six families of diurnal butterflies were observed (Hesperiidae, Lycaenidae, Nymphalidae, Papilionidae, Pieridae, and Riodinidae). Nymphalidae was the most representative family, followed by Hesperiidae, Pieridade, Lycaenidae, Papilionidae and Riodinidae. Moreover, we recorded 37 species with only one individual (singletons) and 20 species with only two individuals (doubletons), totalling 57 species, which corresponds to 46% of all sampled richness. The rarefaction curve did not reveal a tendency toward stabilization. However, the indices showed slightly higher values for the 124 species sampled. The analysis performed using the Bootstrap estimator predicted a total of 143.22 species (± 10.87 SE), with a further 19 additional species than observed. Chao 1 predicted 153.42 (± 11.82 SE), and Jackknife 1 predicted 164.00 (± 16.29 SE) species, with 29 and 40 additional species than the observed, respectively. Our study contributes to the knowledge of butterfly biodiversity in Serra da Mantiqueira and reveals a high species richness for the RPPN Alto Montana, especially considering the relatively small area. In addition, our study provides the first inventory of butterflies for the RPPN Alto Montana, thus supporting further studies investigating the butterfly richness in the Serra da Mantiqueira region.

Hardwood floodplain forests are critically endangered habitats, but strongly contribute to carbon sequestration in Central Europe. In the present study, within a floodplain forest-development programme, we investigated the feeding activity of soil fauna via the Bait Lamina test in hardwood floodplain forests of the middle Elbe River in Germany in sites with different hydrological regimes and forest-development stages, with neighbouring grassland sites for comparison.        While statistically significant differences in overall feeding activity between general hydrological regimes or forest development stages were not found, decreases in feeding activity with soil depth were strongly modulated by these factors, indicating more unfavourable conditions for soil fauna at increasing soil depth due to, e.g., anoxic conditions in floodplains of tributaries or low soil moisture content below the shallow rooting zone of grasslands. Registered effects of soil texture on soil fauna feeding activity were dependent on forest-tree density, and combined effects indicate that soil-fauna feeding activity varies with soil temperature during spring, but with soil moisture in early autumn.        In conclusion, our results highlight the importance of the current abiotic conditions on soil-fauna feeding activities in floodplain forests, i.e. soil temperature, moisture and ground water level. Hydrological regime and forest development have a strong impact on the effect of these conditions, indirectly affecting soil fauna feeding activity and highlighting the multifactorial influence on soil fauna functional activity to be considered in floodplain-forest restoration programs.","publicationDate":"2023-01-01","doi":"10.3897/natureconservation.53.106260","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.53.106260","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["DE"],"source_details":{"id":70,"name":"Nature Conservation","slug":"nature-conservation","issn_l":"1314-3301","openalex_id":"S2764730374","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S2764730374","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S2764730374","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://natureconservation.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/70/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/nature-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Scheunemann","Nicole"],"keywords":["Bait Lamina"],"topics":["Forest Ecology and Biodiversity Studies","Peatlands and Wetlands Ecology","Ecology and Vegetation Dynamics Studies"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4387169133","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.53.106260","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4387169133"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10963,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[25,43]}]},"bbox":[25.0,43.0,25.0,43.0],"properties":{"title":"First exhaustive distribution and habitat modelling of Morimus asper (Sulzer, 1776) sensu lato (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae) in Bulgaria","type":"article","abstract":"Although Morimus asper, in particular the ssp. funereus, is considered as widespread throughout Bulgaria, a current national mapping of the species is missing.

However, information on the socio-ecological factors that drive their establishment and long-term management are limited. This study aimed to narrow this gap by assessing the potential of privately-owned forests in conserving biodiversity and supporting the livelihoods of communities in northern Burkina Faso. Floristic data were collected within 26 plots (900 m2 each) equally distributed between private Gourga forest, established in 1980) and its adjacent communal areas. Sixty-three (63) private landowners were interviewed in order to underpin their motivations and associated traditional knowledge and a stakeholder’s workshop was conducted to develop conservation models for private forests and participatory implementation roadmap. Findings revealed that species richness was 132 in the Gourga forest and 85 in the communal areas, highlighting the importance of private forest in species conservation. Local communities recognized the provisioning (36.46%), regulating (28.46%) and supporting (22.48%) of ecosystem services provided by the Gourga forest as motivating factors. The main barriers to their establishment and management include lack of financial resources (35%), scarce lands (26%) and human pressures (8%). The implementation of private forests will need to be supported by the enactment of a secure land tenure policy, as well as payment for ecosystem services (PES) policies, incentivizing locals. We suggest decision makers mainstream privately-owned lands into national conservation strategies and design incentives policies to motivate local communities’ engagement.","publicationDate":"2023-01-01","doi":"10.3897/natureconservation.53.99313","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.53.99313","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["BF"],"source_details":{"id":70,"name":"Nature Conservation","slug":"nature-conservation","issn_l":"1314-3301","openalex_id":"S2764730374","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S2764730374","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S2764730374","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://natureconservation.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/70/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/nature-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Bognini","Karafa"],"keywords":["Burkina Faso"],"topics":["African Botany and Ecology Studies","Conservation, Biodiversity, and Resource Management","Agriculture and Rural Development Research"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4380991567","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.53.99313","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4380991567"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10954,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-123.28,48.42]}]},"bbox":[-123.28,48.42,-123.28,48.42],"properties":{"title":"Using drone imagery to obtain population data of colony-nesting seabirds to support Canada’s transition to the global Key Biodiversity Areas program","type":"article","abstract":"Identifying of global or national biodiversity ‘hotspots’ has proven important for focusing and prioritizing conservation efforts worldwide. Canada has nearly 600 Important Bird and Biodiversity Areas (IBAs) identified by quantitative criteria to help guide avian conservation and management. Marine IBAs capture critical waterbird habitats such as nesting colonies, foraging sites, and staging areas. However, due to their remote locations, many lack recent population counts. Canada has begun transitioning IBAs into the global Key Biodiversity Areas (KBA) program; KBAs identify areas that are important for the persistence of biodiversity and encompass a wider scope of unique, rare, or vulnerable taxa. Assessing whether IBAs qualify as KBAs requires current data – as will future efforts to manage these biologically important sites. We conducted a pilot study in the Chain Islets and Great Chain Island IBA, in British Columbia, to assess the effectiveness of using drones to census surface-nesting seabirds in an IBA context. This IBA was originally designated for supporting a globally significant breeding colony of Glaucous-winged Gulls (Larus glaucescens). Total nest counts derived from orthomosaic imagery (1012 nesting pairs) show that this site now falls below the Global and National IBA designation criterion threshold, a finding consistent with regional declines in the species. Our trial successfully demonstrates a flexible and low cost approach to obtaining population data at an ecologically sensitive KBA site. We explore how drones will be a useful tool to assess and monitor species and habitats within remote, data-deficient IBAs, particularly during the transition to KBAs.","publicationDate":"2023-01-01","doi":"10.3897/natureconservation.51.96366","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.51.96366","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["CA"],"source_details":{"id":70,"name":"Nature Conservation","slug":"nature-conservation","issn_l":"1314-3301","openalex_id":"S2764730374","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S2764730374","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S2764730374","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://natureconservation.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/70/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/nature-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Lalach","Lindsay"],"keywords":["conservation"],"topics":["Avian ecology and behavior","Remote Sensing and LiDAR Applications","Wildlife Ecology and Conservation"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4320915226","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.51.96366","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4320915226"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10953,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-158.14539,21.50644]}]},"bbox":[-158.14539,21.50644,-158.14539,21.50644],"properties":{"title":"The trail less traveled: Envisioning a new approach to identifying key food resources for threatened Hawaiian arboreal snails","type":"article","abstract":"Our understanding of Hawaiian arboreal snails’ diets remains rudimentary, hindering the development of effective conservation strategies. To identify important food resources, we tested the hypothesis that epiphytic microbial assemblages differ on plant species preferred and avoided by snails at Mt. Kaala Natural Area Reserve, where snail plant preferences are known from previous studies. Comparing microbial assemblages on plants that snails both prefer and avoid was identified as a potentially key step to moving research away from characterizing which microbes snails encounter, towards testing if microbial assemblages are driving snail plant preferences. We found that fungal and bacterial assemblages differed between plant species preferred and avoided by snails, indicating that Hawaiian arboreal snails may be selecting plants based on their epiphytic microbial assemblages. Previous microbes thought to be important, Cladosporium spp., propagated in captive rearing facilities, and Botryosphaeria spp., preferred fungi in a feeding experiment, were both rare and had similar abundances on preferred and avoided plant species in Mt. Kaala. Our approach, conducting preference studies before isolating microbes, is key to identifying arboreal snail food resources and improves our ability to identify microbes that form the foundation of Hawaiian arboreal snails’ diet. If we can identify important food resources, it greatly expands our ability to: (1) assess and monitor habitat quality, (2) make informed restoration recommendations, and (3) improve rearing efforts for highly endangered captive reared populations.","publicationDate":"2023-01-01","doi":"10.3897/natureconservation.51.94952","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.51.94952","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["US"],"source_details":{"id":70,"name":"Nature Conservation","slug":"nature-conservation","issn_l":"1314-3301","openalex_id":"S2764730374","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S2764730374","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S2764730374","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://natureconservation.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/70/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/nature-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Meyer","Wallace"],"keywords":["bacteria"],"topics":["Mollusks and Parasites Studies","Species Distribution and Climate Change"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4319954710","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.51.94952","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4319954710"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10951,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[71.69216,41.41929]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[72.18163,41.45662]}]},"bbox":[71.69216,41.41929,72.18163,41.45663],"properties":{"title":"Important plant areas (IPAs) in the Fergana Valley (Central Asia): The Bozbu-Too-Ungortepa massif","type":"article","abstract":"This paper discusses identifying Important Plant Areas (IPAs) in one of the most densely populated regions of Central Asia—the Fergana valley.

The selected bacterial isolates were identified and compared for their abundance and diversity between the two zones. A total of 156 bacterial strains were assayed for their prospective antipathogenic compounds against seven UTI pathogens, including Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Streptococcus saptophyticus, Acinetobacter baumannii, Klebsiella pneumonia, and Candida albicans. The results showed that 17 of 92 (18.48%) and 6 of 64 (9.37%) bacterial isolates from MPA and non-MPA, respectively, exhibited antimicrobial activity in at least one of the UTI pathogens. By analyzing the gene of 16S rRNA, it was discovered that the 17 isolates of MPA were associated with phyla Actinobacteria, Firmicutes and Proteobacteria, including Streptomyces zhaozhoue, Nocardiopsis salina, Micrococcus endophyticus, Brevibacterium casei, Micrococcus yunnanensis, Saccharopolyspora coralli, Bacillus paramycoides, Virgibacillus salarius, Oceanobacillus iheyensis, and Vibrio alginolyticus. In contrast, only six selected isolates of non-MPA were associated with the phyla Actinobacteria and Proteobacteria, including Nocardiopsis salina, Micrococcus yunnanensis, and Acinetobacter soli. The Diversity Index (H’), Species Richness (S), and Relative Abundance of the MPA zone were higher than those of non-MPA.

To our knowledge, this is the first study to identify an IPA in Uzbekistan and provide geographic coordinates with locations for the herbarium specimens used to create the IPA set for Central Asia. Our study provides a foundation for applying future IPAs in this region, addressing specific conservation challenges, such as conserving rare and endangered species that grow outside protected areas and GIS mapping of endemic species.","publicationDate":"2022-01-01","doi":"10.3897/natureconservation.49.84834","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.49.84834","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["UZ"],"source_details":{"id":70,"name":"Nature Conservation","slug":"nature-conservation","issn_l":"1314-3301","openalex_id":"S2764730374","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S2764730374","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S2764730374","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://natureconservation.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/70/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/nature-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Tojibayev","Komiljon"],"keywords":["Central Asia"],"topics":["Plant Ecology and Taxonomy Studies","Plant Parasitism and Resistance","Plant Taxonomy and Phylogenetics"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4283381196","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.49.84834","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4283381196"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10920,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[112.51632,42.57609]}]},"bbox":[112.51632,42.57609,112.51632,42.57609],"properties":{"title":"A rare shrub species as flagship for conserving desert steppe in arid Inner Mongolia","type":"article","abstract":"The rare species Amygdalus pedunculata Pall.

Determined to save it, the local government of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region encouraged the herdsmen to limit grazing activities. Here, we are testing if this species could be considered as a conspicuous flagship for restoring and conserving wind-sensitive arid lands as desert steppe in northern China. We examined statistically the growing states and environmental roles of A. pedunculata populations under the comparative conditions of free and limited grazing in winter since the year 2001. This species was observed to play a critical role in preventing wind erosion and stabilising the lands, as was indicated by the formation of micro-dunes under the shrubs. This role can be attributed mainly to the crown diameters or cover from the shrubs. Under the grazing limitation condition, accompanying species and plants around the shrubs increased significantly. Regardless of free or limited grazing conditions, the shrubs were not observed to inhibit the occurrence or growth of other plants. The grazing limitation over a period of 20 years has caused the effective revival of the rare A. pedunculata species, with statistically larger and taller A. pedunculata individuals than under the free grazing condition, as well as a slightly higher population density and total crown cover. The grazing limitation policy for saving A. pedunculata is believed to be effective and the rare A. pedunculata shrub is a conspicuous flagship for helping to conserve wind-sensitive desert steppe in terms of ecosystem integrity and authenticity.","publicationDate":"2022-01-01","doi":"10.3897/natureconservation.48.79902","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.48.79902","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["CN"],"source_details":{"id":70,"name":"Nature Conservation","slug":"nature-conservation","issn_l":"1314-3301","openalex_id":"S2764730374","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S2764730374","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S2764730374","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://natureconservation.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/70/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/nature-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Yang","Hongxiao"],"keywords":["Amygdalus pedunculata Pall.

The research was conducted in central Poland, along a 2.1 km stretch of the E65 railway line near Warsaw, during eight months, in the years 2010–2011. For six months of a test period, the reflectors were uncovered (active) and, for the next two months of the control period, they were covered (non-active). Digital cameras were used to register animal reactions to trains 24-hours per day. We compared the probability of escape (escape = 1; no reaction = 0) from an oncoming train during test and control periods of the research, in different parts of a day (i.e. day vs. night) and compared escape time of roe deer between day and night and with reflectors covered and uncovered. Roe deer (Capreolus capreolus), red fox (Vulpes vulpes) and brown hare (Lepus europaeus) were observed most often (702 observations in total). The status of reflectors (covered/uncovered) did not influence the probability of animals’ escape from an oncoming train. The only factors that affected the probability of escape were animal species and time of a day. Of the three species, roe deer was most likely to escape from an oncoming train (89% of probability at day and 52% during night, pooled data for covered and uncovered reflectors). Timing of roe deer escape from an oncoming train did not differ between day (6.4 seconds) and night, with either reflectors covered (7.5 seconds) or uncovered (4.6 seconds). The results indicated that wildlife warning reflectors were not effective to modify animal behaviour and to reduce risk of animal-train collisions.","publicationDate":"2022-01-01","doi":"10.3897/natureconservation.47.73052","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.47.73052","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["PL"],"source_details":{"id":70,"name":"Nature Conservation","slug":"nature-conservation","issn_l":"1314-3301","openalex_id":"S2764730374","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S2764730374","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S2764730374","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://natureconservation.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/70/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/nature-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Jasińska","Karolina"],"keywords":["Animal-train collisions"],"topics":["Wildlife-Road Interactions and Conservation","Wildlife Ecology and Conservation","Animal Vocal Communication and Behavior"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4220981487","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.47.73052","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4220981487"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10910,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[72.2285,45.29172]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[72.25306,45.28295]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[72.42852,45.30227]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[72.59308,45.31922]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[72.58938,45.31905]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[72.31465,45.29719]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[72.6071,45.3196]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[72.23079,45.29115]}]},"bbox":[72.2285,45.28295,72.6071,45.3196],"properties":{"title":"Co-use of existing crossing structures along roads by wildlife and humans: Wishful thinking?","type":"article","abstract":"This study assesses existing human-purpose underpasses below an unfenced high-traffic 4-lane highway in the Appalachian region of Quebec, Canada, as potential crossing structures for native mammal species. Eight underpasses of three types (five water culverts with minimum height and width of 1.8 m, one low-use gravel road byway, and two railroad underpasses) were continuously monitored by motion-detection infrared camera traps for time periods spanning up to 778 days (September 2016 to November 2018). We asked how the ratios of successful crossings through the structures (termed full crossings) and aversions to the structures (termed aversions) differed between species and we explored the influence of human activity levels on the use of these structures by wildlife. All monitored crossing structures had low human observations (with averages of less than 35 human activities per day). Our results provide evidence that 21 species of mammals in the study area successfully crossed through at least one of the eight observed underpasses on a minimum of one occasion. Some species were observed crossing through some of the underpasses on a regular basis, namely raccoon, red fox, and white-tailed deer. We propose a classification of mammal species into five human co-use classes (no or low co-use to very high co-use) to explore the relationship between mammal use of the structures and human presence. We found that humans and mammals were observed sharing passages for the four mammal species identified as tolerant of human co-use (high and very high co-use classes), but co-use was observed to be limited or not occurring for most other species. The strengths of this study include the length of time during which monitoring took place, as well as the placement of four cameras at each structure (two facing inward and two facing outward) to determine whether individuals successfully crossed through the structures or displayed avoidance behaviour. The results suggest select species of mammals show some co-use with humans at existing underpasses. The activity patterns of mammals documented over the two-year study can assist with future estimates of highway permeability. Further, measurements of human and mammal co-use have species-specific implications for retrofitting existing structures and constructing wildlife fences and purpose-built wildlife passages.","publicationDate":"2022-01-01","doi":"10.3897/natureconservation.47.73060","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.47.73060","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["KZ"],"source_details":{"id":70,"name":"Nature Conservation","slug":"nature-conservation","issn_l":"1314-3301","openalex_id":"S2764730374","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S2764730374","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S2764730374","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://natureconservation.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/70/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/nature-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Warnock-Juteau","Kendra"],"keywords":["Camera traps"],"topics":["Wildlife-Road Interactions and Conservation","Wildlife Ecology and Conservation","Geographies of human-animal interactions"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4220997110","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.47.73060","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4220997110"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10907,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-8.07944,38.695]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-8.08731,38.69188]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-8.07063,38.69859]}]},"bbox":[-8.08731,38.69188,-8.07063,38.69859],"properties":{"title":"The effect of habitat reduction by roads on space use and movement patterns of an endangered species, the Cabrera vole Microtus cabrerae","type":"article","abstract":"Roads are among the most widespread signs of man’s presence around the globe. From simple low traffic trails to wide and highly used highways, roads have a wide array of effects on wildlife. In the present study, we tested how habitat reduction by roads may affect the space use and movement patterns of the Cabrera vole (Microtus cabrerae), a near-threatened Iberian endemism, often living on road verges. A total of 16 voles were successfully radio-tracked in two habitat patches with different size and proximity to roads. Results showed that individuals from the smaller patch (Verge patch) had smaller and less complex home-ranges than those from the larger patch (Meadow patch). Movement patterns were significantly influenced by the day period but only in individuals from the Verge patch. There was evidence of a barrier effect in both habitat patches, being this effect much more noticeable in the verge population. Overall, this study shows that space use and movement patterns of Cabrera voles near roads may be affected by the degree of habitat reduction imposed by these infrastructures. This suggests that species space use and movement patterns at fine-scale should be accounted for in road planning, even for species that may benefit from road verge habitats as refuges.","publicationDate":"2022-01-01","doi":"10.3897/natureconservation.47.71864","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.47.71864","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["PT"],"source_details":{"id":70,"name":"Nature Conservation","slug":"nature-conservation","issn_l":"1314-3301","openalex_id":"S2764730374","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S2764730374","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S2764730374","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://natureconservation.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/70/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/nature-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Fernandes","Nelson"],"keywords":["Barrier effect"],"topics":["Wildlife-Road Interactions and Conservation","Wildlife Ecology and Conservation","Marine animal studies overview"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4221014728","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.47.71864","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4221014728"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10906,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-8.10734,38.62342]}]},"bbox":[-8.10734,38.62342,-8.10734,38.62342],"properties":{"title":"Assessing behaviour states of a forest carnivore in a road-dominated landscape using Hidden Markov Models","type":"article","abstract":"Anthropogenic infrastructures and land-use changes are major threats to animal movements across heterogeneous landscapes. Yet, the behavioural consequences of such constraints remain poorly understood. We investigated the relationship between the behaviour of the Common genet (Genetta genetta) and road proximity, within a dominant mixed forest-agricultural landscape in southern Portugal, fragmented by roads. Specifically, we aimed to: (i) identify and characterise the behavioural states displayed by genets and related movement patterns; and (ii) understand how behavioural states are influenced by proximity to main paved roads and landscape features. We used a multivariate Hidden Markov Model (HMM) to characterise the fine-scale movements (10-min fixes GPS) of seven genets tracked during 187 nights (mean 27 days per individual) during the period 2016–2019, using distance to major paved roads and landscape features as predictors. Our findings indicated that genet’s movement patterns were composed of three basic behavioural states, classified as “resting” (short step-lengths [mean = 10.6 m] and highly tortuous), “foraging” (intermediate step-lengths [mean = 46.1 m] and with a wide range in turning angle) and “travelling” (longer step-lengths [mean = 113.7 m] and mainly linear movements). Within the genet’s main activity-period (17.00 h-08.00 h), the movement model predicts that genets spend 36.7% of their time travelling, 35.4% foraging and 28.0% resting. The probability of genets displaying the travelling state was highest in areas far away from roads (> 500 m), whereas foraging and resting states were more likely in areas relatively close to roads (up to 500 m). Landscape features also had a pronounced effect on behaviour state occurrence. More specifically, travelling was most likely to occur in areas with lower forest edge density and close to riparian habitats, while foraging was more likely to occur in areas with higher forest edge density and far away from riparian habitats. The results suggest that, although roads represent a behavioural barrier to the movement of genets, they also take advantage of road proximity as foraging areas. Our study demonstrates that the HMM approach is useful for disentangling movement behaviour and understanding how animals respond to roadsides and fragmented habitats. We emphasise that road-engaged stakeholders need to consider movement behaviour of genets when targeting management practices to maximise road permeability for wildlife.","publicationDate":"2022-01-01","doi":"10.3897/natureconservation.47.72781","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.47.72781","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["PT"],"source_details":{"id":70,"name":"Nature Conservation","slug":"nature-conservation","issn_l":"1314-3301","openalex_id":"S2764730374","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S2764730374","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S2764730374","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://natureconservation.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/70/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/nature-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Ferreira","Eduardo"],"keywords":["Behavioural barrier"],"topics":["Wildlife Ecology and Conservation","Wildlife-Road Interactions and Conservation","Animal Behavior and Welfare Studies"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4220906622","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.47.72781","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4220906622"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10902,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[93.35806,26.46667]}]},"bbox":[93.35806,26.46667,93.35806,26.46667],"properties":{"title":"Speed thrills but kills: A case study on seasonal variation in roadkill mortality on National highway 715 (new) in Kaziranga-Karbi Anglong Landscape, Assam, India","type":"article","abstract":"Animal-vehicle collision on the roads is a major cause of mortality of a wide range of animal taxa both within and around protected areas.

The area falls between the boundary of KNP on its north and North Karbi Anglong Wildlife sanctuary on the south. The survey concentrated on the mortality study of four groups of vertebrates viz., amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals resulting from collisions with vehicles from October 2016 through September, 2017. A total of 6036 individual roadkills were registered, belonging to 53 species, 23 other taxa and 30 families of vertebrates, with herpetofauna being the most affected group followed by birds and mammals. The study evaluated seasonal variation in the overall roadkill pattern with highest mortality in the monsoon season 38.27% (n = 2310) and with peak casualties starting with the onset of rainfall (February and March) and during monsoons (July and August). The amphibian mortality was also found to be highest during the monsoon with 43.28% (n = 1575) of kills, as compared to the other three groups.

This study thus tried to reflect the often overlooked issue of roads and highways in terms of direct mortality of animals due to traffic and thereby can be helpful in understanding the seriousness of the situation and identifying prospective measures to be taken for sustainable coexistence of both animals and human.","publicationDate":"2022-01-01","doi":"10.3897/natureconservation.47.73036","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.47.73036","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["IN"],"source_details":{"id":70,"name":"Nature Conservation","slug":"nature-conservation","issn_l":"1314-3301","openalex_id":"S2764730374","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S2764730374","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S2764730374","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://natureconservation.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/70/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/nature-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Sur","Somoyita"],"keywords":["Herpetofauna"],"topics":["Wildlife-Road Interactions and Conservation","Wildlife Ecology and Conservation","Animal Vocal Communication and Behavior"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4220728481","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.47.73036","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4220728481"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10889,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[68.83333,-20.25]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[69.25,-27.43333]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[70.88333,-33.26667]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[73.28333,-37.91667]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[73.2,-39.7]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[71.6,-33.5]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[72.86667,-51.01667]}]},"bbox":[68.83333,-51.01667,73.28333,-20.25],"properties":{"title":"Waterbird assemblages of inland wetlands in Chile: A meta-analysis","type":"article","abstract":"Chile has a large number of wetlands that offer a wide variety of refuges and food to waterbird assemblages.

Three of the population viability analysis models (‘baseline’, ‘catastrophe’, ‘nest protection during a catastrophe’) indicated the extinction of the population in Tajba, with the highest probability of extinction occurring during a catastrophic event (probability of extinction 1.00). We also evaluated information about the activity patterns of seven radio-tracked individuals and about the number of destroyed nests from the area. During the period 2017–2021, we recorded only two turtles leaving the aquatic habitat of Tajba. An alarming fact is the massive number of destroyed nests found in the area during the study period (Tajba 524; Poľany 56).

Here, for the first time we measured the structural diversity of P. subaequalis communities at three representative sites in eastern China using four structural indices, including mingling, tree-tree distance, and diameter and tree height differences. The results showed that: 1) Collectively, most P. subaequalis and associated tree species were small and mid-sized classes in tree height, and small-sized class in diameter; 2) There were two or more other tree species around most of P. subaequalis individuals across the three sites; 3) Overall, the mean distance between reference trees and their neighbors was mainly 1–2 m. Our results indicated that a strong interspecific competition existed between P. subaequalis and its associated tree species. Meanwhile, although the reference tree P. subaequalis had slight advantages in both horizontal and vertical planes, we think that it is necessary to take some effective measures to reduce the interspecific competition and thereby keep it at a proper successive stage. In addition, we also discuss the protection level of P. subaequalis in China, and propose to keep this species at the First-Grade State Protection.","publicationDate":"2021-01-01","doi":"10.3897/natureconservation.44.69404","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.44.69404","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["CN"],"source_details":{"id":70,"name":"Nature Conservation","slug":"nature-conservation","issn_l":"1314-3301","openalex_id":"S2764730374","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S2764730374","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S2764730374","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://natureconservation.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/70/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/nature-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Liu","Jie"],"keywords":["Competition"],"topics":["Plant and animal studies","Ecology and Vegetation Dynamics Studies","Plant and Fungal Species Descriptions"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W3194618938","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.44.69404","mag":"3194618938","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W3194618938"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10868,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-2.05478,53.33804]}]},"bbox":[-2.05478,53.33804,-2.05478,53.33804],"properties":{"title":"How do red deer react to increased visitor numbers? A case study on human-deer encounter probability and its effect on cortisol stress responses","type":"article","abstract":"The numbers of visitors to greenspaces in the United Kingdom has increased over the last few years as the health benefits of spending time in greenspaces have become better known. This has led to problems for conservation ecologists due to increased numbers of reported human-wildlife encounters. Deer are often found in public spaces and are of particular concern. Previous research suggests elevated levels of stress hormones (e.g., cortisol) in deer is a result of increased human activity. This has been linked to several negative effects on the deer’s health. From a practitioner’s point of view, it is therefore important to implement effective management strategies that are based on scientific evidence to help ensure the welfare of managed deer populations. In an effort to identify the impact of visitor numbers on faecal cortisol concentrations, samples from 2 red deer (Cervus elaphus) herds in Lyme Park (Cheshire), United Kingdom, were collected and analysed. A predictive spatial model was developed based on logistic regression to identify areas within the park of low and high human-deer encounter probability. The faecal cortisol levels were found to be significantly higher on days with a high number of visitors. In addition, landscape features such as buildings and roads increased the probability of human-deer encounters, whereas woodland and scrub decreased the probability. However, human-deer encounter probability changed with distance to the features. By providing local park managers with this scientific data, these findings can directly inform current management efforts to reduce deer stress levels in Lyme Park. In addition, the spatial modelling method has the capacity to be implemented in other parks across the country with minimal cost and effort.","publicationDate":"2021-01-01","doi":"10.3897/natureconservation.43.56266","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.43.56266","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["GB"],"source_details":{"id":70,"name":"Nature Conservation","slug":"nature-conservation","issn_l":"1314-3301","openalex_id":"S2764730374","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S2764730374","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S2764730374","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://natureconservation.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/70/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/nature-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Dixon","Gabriel"],"keywords":["Assay"],"topics":["Wildlife Ecology and Conservation","Animal Behavior and Welfare Studies","Urban Green Space and Health"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W3122159654","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.43.56266","mag":"3122159654","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W3122159654"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10859,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-119.64972,49.607]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-119.65067,49.60773]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-119.65078,49.59893]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-119.65096,49.59941]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-119.57644,49.53811]}]},"bbox":[-119.65096,49.53811,-119.57644,49.60773],"properties":{"title":"Mapping Rocky Mountain ridged mussel beds with preliminary identification of overlapping Eurasian watermilfoil within the Canadian range","type":"article","abstract":"The Rocky Mountain ridged mussel (Gonidea angulata) is a bivalve species whose Canadian range is limited to the Okanagan Valley, British Columbia. In 2019, conflicts between habitat protection for the mussel and potential habitat alteration to control the invasive Eurasian watermilfoil (Myriophyllum spicatum) (milfoil), led to a decision to maintain the status of the mussels as Special Concern under Canada’s Species at Risk Act (SARA) rather than classify it as Endangered. Milfoil control can cause direct mortality and/or burial of the mussels, but there had been no systematic study of the impacts of milfoil control on mussel beds. The purpose of this study was to address knowledge gaps by delineating known mussel beds and potential overlap with milfoil to provide information for management decisions that balance the needs of native species protection and invasive species control. Rocky Mountain ridged mussels in three reference locations were enumerated using snorkel surveys. The presence and distribution of milfoil was documented in relation to five sites within these three locations. Milfoil was encroaching on one site, causing some changes to the substrate. At other sites, the differences in the depth and distribution of the mussel and the milfoil could allow milfoil control without damaging the mussel beds. It is recommended that, before milfoil removal near known mussel beds be undertaken, a detailed site evaluation be conducted to determine potential impacts. This study suggests presumed impediments to co-managing the mussels and controlling an invasive species should not preclude classifying the mussels as Endangered and affording protections under SARA.","publicationDate":"2020-01-01","doi":"10.3897/natureconservation.42.51081","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.42.51081","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["CA"],"source_details":{"id":70,"name":"Nature Conservation","slug":"nature-conservation","issn_l":"1314-3301","openalex_id":"S2764730374","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S2764730374","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S2764730374","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://natureconservation.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/70/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/nature-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Wade","Joy"],"keywords":["Eurasian watermilfoil"],"topics":["Aquatic Invertebrate Ecology and Behavior","Environmental Toxicology and Ecotoxicology","Invertebrate Taxonomy and Ecology"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W3088268194","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.42.51081","mag":"3088268194","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W3088268194"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10856,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-93.15,44.46667]}]},"bbox":[-93.15,44.46667,-93.15,44.46667],"properties":{"title":"Differential responses of prairie rodents to edge effects from recreational trails","type":"article","abstract":"Edge effects are a common phenomenon in which an ecological variable changes with respect to distance from a habitat edge. Recreational trails may constitute a habitat edge for prairie rodents because of high human presence, high predator presence, or limited shelter compared to the prairie core. Despite the prevalence of trails in conservation parcels, their effect on wildlife distribution remains largely unstudied. We examined the impacts of recreational trails on small mammal activity in the restored prairies of the Cowling Arboretum at Carleton College. The prairies were restored from 1995 to 2008 and now comprise a contiguous prairie block of approximately 155 ha. Over 2 consecutive summers, we used infrared motion-sensing cameras to record the relative amount of time rodents spend at baited stations placed at different distances from the trail. The results varied between taxa: voles (Microtus spp.) avoided trail edges whereas mouse (Cricetidae and Dipodidae) and thirteen-lined ground squirrel (Ictidomys tridecemlineatus) activity was unaffected by trail proximity. Trails may therefore have species-specific effects on small mammals, with potential consequences for the connectivity and distribution of populations.","publicationDate":"2020-01-01","doi":"10.3897/natureconservation.41.52100","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.41.52100","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["US"],"source_details":{"id":70,"name":"Nature Conservation","slug":"nature-conservation","issn_l":"1314-3301","openalex_id":"S2764730374","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S2764730374","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S2764730374","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://natureconservation.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/70/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/nature-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Shorb","Cameron"],"keywords":["camera"],"topics":["Wildlife Ecology and Conservation","Animal Ecology and Behavior Studies","Ecology and Vegetation Dynamics Studies"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W3085040979","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.41.52100","mag":"3085040979","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W3085040979"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10853,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[105.33333,17.5]}]},"bbox":[105.33333,17.5,105.33333,17.5],"properties":{"title":"The extent of the illegal trade with terrestrial vertebrates in markets and households in Khammouane Province, Lao PDR","type":"article","abstract":"Wildlife is one of the most important food resources in rural areas and popular among all social layers of Lao PDR.

A trial using geo-tagged photos","type":"article","abstract":"Conservation for both biodiversity and ecosystem services are an important issue worldwide. However, knowledge of their relationship remains limited. As habitat structure is strongly related to regional biodiversity, we studied cultural ecosystem services by using habitat structure as a proxy for biodiversity. Specifically, we used human preference, assessed by using photos with location information (i.e. geo-tagged digital pictures) as an index of a cultural ecosystem service. We conducted nature walks in semi-natural environments for cognitively-impaired students from a local special school and studied the photos they took during the walks. We analysed the habitat preferences inferred from the photo locations and the composition of the photos—whether they were close-up, scenic or landscape views. The results showed that levels of human preference and biodiversity, indicated by habitat structure, had a positive relationship. During spring to autumn, when levels of biological activity are higher, people tended to show more preference in close-up views (i.e. the subject of the photo was the species itself). In winter, they tended to be interested in scenic views that were not strongly influenced by species diversity. Additionally, photos taken in areas with threatened species almost always included close-up views, although not of the threatened species themselves. Areas with high species diversity therefore appeared to be more appealing to the participants. These results suggest that habitat diversity could not only contribute to biodiversity, but also provide cultural ecosystem services. Habitat conservation for semi-natural environments could be synergised for both biodiversity conservation and general human well-being.","publicationDate":"2020-01-01","doi":"10.3897/natureconservation.38.36166","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.38.36166","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["JP"],"source_details":{"id":70,"name":"Nature Conservation","slug":"nature-conservation","issn_l":"1314-3301","openalex_id":"S2764730374","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S2764730374","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S2764730374","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://natureconservation.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/70/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/nature-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Osawa","Takeshi"],"keywords":["Cultural services"],"topics":["Urban Green Space and Health","Land Use and Ecosystem Services","Animal and Plant Science Education"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W3010913875","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.38.36166","mag":"3010913875","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W3010913875"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10830,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[14.41667,45.96667]}]},"bbox":[14.41667,45.96667,14.41667,45.96667],"properties":{"title":"Contrasting effects of altitude on species groups with different traits in a non-fragmented montane temperate forest","type":"article","abstract":"Temperature has strong effects on species composition and traits. These effects can differ within and between species groups. Thermoregulation and mobility are traits which can be strongly affected by altitudinal distribution. Our aim was to investigate the influence of altitude on the species richness, abundance and composition of species groups with different trophic, thermoregulatory and mobility traits. Carabids (Coleoptera; Carabidae), hoverflies (Diptera: Syrphidae) and birds (Aves: Passeriformes) were counted in three altitudinal belts with a total elevation difference of 700 m (from 300 m to 1000 m a.s.l.) in the same habitat type (non-fragmented temperate montane mixed beech and fir forest). We found that endotherms and more mobile species (i.e. birds) had a smaller turnover than ectotherms (i.e. hoverflies) and less mobile species (i.e. carabids), from which we can predict that the former species will undergo a less extreme shift than the latter in global warming scenarios. Species turnover across the altitudinal gradient increased from birds to hoverflies to carabid beetles. The effect of altitude on phenology was different between the studied ectotherm species groups (carabids and hoverflies). Hoverflies experience a phenological delay of species richness and abundance at higher altitudes in spring, but not at the end of summer, which implies that hoverfly phenology is affected by a change in temperature, while carabid beetle abundance exhibited a delay in phenology in summer at higher altitudes. We suggest that species that are expected to be most affected by climate change, such as ectotherms and species with poor dispersal ability should be prioritised as the best indicators for monitoring and conservation management purposes.","publicationDate":"2019-01-01","doi":"10.3897/natureconservation.37.37145","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.37.37145","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["SI"],"source_details":{"id":70,"name":"Nature Conservation","slug":"nature-conservation","issn_l":"1314-3301","openalex_id":"S2764730374","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S2764730374","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S2764730374","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://natureconservation.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/70/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/nature-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["de Groot","Maarten"],"keywords":["climate change"],"topics":["Species Distribution and Climate Change","Plant and animal studies","Ecology and Vegetation Dynamics Studies"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2995047194","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.37.37145","mag":"2995047194","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W2995047194"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10827,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[73.68417,34.06861]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[73.39506,33.87398]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[72.14748,35.01964]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[72.84179,35.85311]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[73.03833,33.74]}]},"bbox":[72.14748,33.74,73.68417,35.85311],"properties":{"title":"The Un-Common Leopard: presence, distribution and abundance in Gallies and Murree Forest Division, Northern Pakistan","type":"article","abstract":"The leopard Panthera pardus is thought to be sparsely distributed across Pakistan and there is limited understanding of the demographic structure and distribution of the species in this country. We conducted a study, from April to July 2017, and, from March to June 2018, in the northern Pakistan region to establish the presence and distribution of leopards, mindful at the outset of their abundance in that region. The presence of leopards was confirmed in the Swat, Dir and Margalla Hills region. The leopard population in Gallies and Murree Forest Division was preliminarily assessed via camera-trapping. As a result, a total of 63 potential areas of leopard population were identified initially. The leopard was photo captured at 27 locations (hotspots) with 34 capture events yielding 195 images over the course of 3,022 active trap-nights. Camera trap images were examined to identify leopard individuals using their rosette patterns on both the left and right flanks and the dorsal side of the tail. Ultimately, 15 leopard individuals were identified during the first survey period of the study and four individuals were recaptured in the second survey period, together with three new individuals. The detection probability of individual leopards from MARK varied from 0.10 and 0.20 with a population size (preliminarily estimated to be 16–25 (SE = 3.18) in 2107 and 7–13 (SE = 1.87) in 2018. This gave a density of 4.5 to 9.5 leopards/100 km2, respectively. A home range of various individual leopards was found to extend from the Gallies Reserved Forest to the extended corridors of Guzara Forest. In general, this study suggests that the Guzara Forest is crucially important for the conservation of leopards in the region as this area allows them extended movement while searching for food and mates.","publicationDate":"2019-01-01","doi":"10.3897/natureconservation.37.32748","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.37.32748","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["PK"],"source_details":{"id":70,"name":"Nature Conservation","slug":"nature-conservation","issn_l":"1314-3301","openalex_id":"S2764730374","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S2764730374","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S2764730374","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://natureconservation.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/70/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/nature-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Asad","Muhammad"],"keywords":["Leopard"],"topics":["Wildlife Ecology and Conservation","Animal Diversity and Health Studies","Primate Behavior and Ecology"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2991199886","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.37.32748","mag":"2991199886","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W2991199886"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10819,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[21.78833,47.48333]}]},"bbox":[21.78833,47.48333,21.78833,47.48333],"properties":{"title":"Remediation potential of early successional pioneer species Chenopodium album and Tripleurospermum inodorum","type":"article","abstract":"Remediation with plants is a technology used to decrease soil or water contamination.

Furthermore, we calculated bioaccumulation factor (BAF), bioconcentration factor (BCF) and translocation factor (TF) values to study the accumulation of metals from soil to plants and translocation within plants. We found correlation in metal concentrations between soil and plants. The metal accumulation potential was low in both species, indicating low BAF and BCF values.

The relatively higher success in Bulgaria than in Central Europe is probably due to using the gained experience. Most of the translocations (6) used a soft release approach. In 6 cases, the animals settled 100 to 720 metres away from the release site, implying management and protection of suitable habitat beyond the translocation area. In 7 of the translocations, the altitude between the donor colony and the release site varied from 470 to 1320 m which could have a hindering effect on the adaptation of animals due to the specific conditions in the mountains. The main reasons for failure are probably poorly selected and maintained habitats and bad climatic conditions (rainy and cool weather) during the translocation action. European funds are of critical importance for translocations, with only two translocations funded by other sources. Based on the gathered data, the current paper also gives some recommendations for improvement in translocation activities.","publicationDate":"2019-01-01","doi":"10.3897/natureconservation.35.30911","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.35.30911","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["BG"],"source_details":{"id":70,"name":"Nature Conservation","slug":"nature-conservation","issn_l":"1314-3301","openalex_id":"S2764730374","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S2764730374","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S2764730374","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://natureconservation.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/70/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/nature-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Koshev","Yordan"],"keywords":["repatriation"],"topics":["Animal Ecology and Behavior Studies","Species Distribution and Climate Change","Genetic diversity and population structure"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2952275130","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.35.30911","mag":"2952275130","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W2952275130"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10812,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[12.23884,44.52754]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[12.2288,44.46336]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[12.223,44.49777]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[12.23766,44.49736]}]},"bbox":[12.223,44.46336,12.23884,44.52754],"properties":{"title":"Multi-decadal surveys in a Mediterranean forest reserve – do succession and isolation drive moth species richness?","type":"article","abstract":"Isolated fragments of semi-natural habitats are often embedded in a landscape matrix that is hostile to organisms of conservation concern.

For insects, few studies on long-term trends in species richness within conservation areas are available, mainly due to the lack of historical data. We here use moths in the coastal pine wood reserve Pineta san Vitale (Ravenna, NE Italy) to assess how local fauna has changed over the last 85 years. This reserve has experienced massive changes in vegetation structure due to secondary succession. We compared historical collections (1933–1976: 107 species; and 1977–1996: 157 species) with our own samples (1997–2002: 174 species; and 2011+2012: 187 species). Over the last 85 years, the proportion of habitat generalists in relation to all recorded moth species increased from 20 to 33%. The fractions of woodland and open habitat species concomitantly decreased by 10 percentage points, respectively. Amongst woodland and habitat generalist species, gains outnumbered losses. In contrast, 18 species of open habitats and 10 reed species were lost over the decades. We attribute these changes to vegetation succession and to the isolation of the reserve. Generalist species are presumably better able to pass through anthropogenically exploited landscapes and colonise isolated habitat fragments than habitat specialists.","publicationDate":"2019-01-01","doi":"10.3897/natureconservation.35.32934","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.35.32934","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["IT"],"source_details":{"id":70,"name":"Nature Conservation","slug":"nature-conservation","issn_l":"1314-3301","openalex_id":"S2764730374","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S2764730374","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S2764730374","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://natureconservation.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/70/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/nature-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Wölfling","Mirko"],"keywords":["Anthropogenic influence"],"topics":["Ecology and Vegetation Dynamics Studies","Species Distribution and Climate Change","Botany and Plant Ecology Studies"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2947265981","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.35.32934","mag":"2947265981","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W2947265981"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10808,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[21.96083,60.25917]}]},"bbox":[21.96083,60.25917,21.96083,60.25917],"properties":{"title":"Comparison of biological and ecological long-term trends related to northern hemisphere climate in different marine ecosystems","type":"article","abstract":"Data from five sites of the International Long Term Ecological Research (ILTER) network in the North-Eastern Pacific, Western Arctic Ocean, Northern Baltic Sea, South-Eastern North Sea and in the Western Mediterranean Sea were analyzed by dynamic factor analysis (DFA) to trace common multi-year trends in abundance and composition of phytoplankton, benthic fauna and temperate reef fish.

To explore the potential role of mountain ecosystems in butterfly conservation and to assess the vulnerability of the alpine species, we analyzed the short-term changes (2006–2008 vs. 2012–2013) of butterflies’ distribution along altitudinal gradients in the NW Italian Alps. We sampled butterfly communities once a month (62 sampling stations, 3 seasonal replicates per year, from June to August) by semi-quantitative sampling techniques. The monitored gradient ranges from the montane to the alpine belt (600–2700 m a.s.l.) within three protected areas: Gran Paradiso National Park (LTER, Sitecode: LTER_EU_IT_109), Orsiera Rocciavrè Natural Park and Veglia Devero Natural Park. We investigated butterflies’ temporal changes in accordance with a hierarchical approach to assess potential relationships between species and community level. As a first step, we characterized each species in terms of habitat requirements, elevational range and temperature preferences and we compared plot occupancy and altitudinal range changes between time periods (2006–2008 vs. 2012–2013). Secondly, we focused on community level, analyzing species richness and community composition temporal changes. The species level analysis highlighted a general increase in mean occupancy level and significant changes at both altitudinal boundaries. Looking at the ecological groups, we observed an increase of generalist and highly mobile species at the expense of the specialist and less mobile ones. For the community level, we noticed a significant increase in species richness, in the community temperature index and a tendency towards homogenization within communities. Besides the short time period considered, butterflies species distribution and communities changed considerably. In light of these results, it is fundamental to continue monitoring activities to understand if we are facing transient changes or first signals of an imminent trend.","publicationDate":"2019-01-01","doi":"10.3897/natureconservation.34.30728","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.34.30728","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["IT"],"source_details":{"id":70,"name":"Nature Conservation","slug":"nature-conservation","issn_l":"1314-3301","openalex_id":"S2764730374","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S2764730374","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S2764730374","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://natureconservation.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/70/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/nature-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Cerrato","Cristiana"],"keywords":["Butterfly"],"topics":["Species Distribution and Climate Change","Ecology and Vegetation Dynamics Studies","Plant and animal studies"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2943096226","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.34.30728","mag":"2943096226","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W2943096226"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10803,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[17.23806,40.49306]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[17.25278,40.50028]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[17.32167,40.49444]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[17.22806,40.47944]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[17.25833,40.50083]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[17.32278,40.49417]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[17.30694,40.47222]}]},"bbox":[17.22806,40.47222,17.32278,40.50083],"properties":{"title":"Successions of phytobenthos species in a Mediterranean transitional water system: the importance of long term observations","type":"article","abstract":"The availability of quantitative long term datasets on the phytobenthic assemblages of the Mar Piccolo of Taranto (southern Italy, Mediterranean Sea), a lagoon like semi-enclosed coastal basin included in the Italian LTER network, enabled careful analysis of changes occurring in the structure of the community over about thirty years.

It may therefore be assumed that these changes were closely related to human activities. Indeed, it was observed that the reduction of only one of these forces, i.e. urban sewage discharge, triggered the recovery of phytobenthos.

There is a need to assess the responses of the ecosystem to declining atmospheric pollution by monitoring the variations of chemical species in the various compartments of the forest ecosystem on a long temporal scale. In this study, we report on patterns and trends in throughfall deposition concentrations of inorganic N, dissolved organic N (DON) and C (DOC) over a 20-year (1995–2015) period in the LTER site -Val Masino (1190 m a.s.l.), a spruce forest, in the Central Italian Alps. The same chemical species were studied in the litter floor leachates and mineral soil solution, at three different depths (15, 40 and 70 cm), over a 10-year period (2005–2015). Inorganic N concentration was drastically reduced as throughfall and litter floor leachates percolated through the topsoil, where the measured mean values (2 µeq L-1) were much lower than the critical limits established for coniferous stands (14 µeq L-1). The seasonal temperature dependence of throughfall DOC and DON concentration suggests that the microbial community living on the needles was the main source of dissolved organic matter. Most of DOC and DON infiltrating from the litter floor were retained in the mineral soil. The rainfall amount was the only climatic factor exerting a control on DOC and N compounds in throughfall and forest floor leachates over a decadal period. Concentration of SO4 and NO3 declined by 50% and 26% respectively in throughfall deposition. Trends of NO3 and SO4 in forest floor leachates and mineral soil solution mirrored declining depositions. No trends in both DON and DOC concentration and in DOC/DON ratio in soil solutions were observed. These outcomes suggest that the declining NO3 and SO4 atmospheric inputs did not influence the dynamic of DON and DOC in the Val Masino forest. The results of this study are particularly relevant, as they are based on a comprehensive survey of all the main compartments of the forest ecosystem. Moreover, this kind of long-term research has rarely been carried out in the Alpine region.","publicationDate":"2019-01-01","doi":"10.3897/natureconservation.34.30738","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.34.30738","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["IT"],"source_details":{"id":70,"name":"Nature Conservation","slug":"nature-conservation","issn_l":"1314-3301","openalex_id":"S2764730374","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S2764730374","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S2764730374","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://natureconservation.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/70/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/nature-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Balestrini","Raffaella"],"keywords":["Nitrate"],"topics":["Atmospheric and Environmental Gas Dynamics","Soil and Water Nutrient Dynamics","Atmospheric chemistry and aerosols"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2943572078","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.34.30738","mag":"2943572078","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W2943572078"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10801,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[13.71,45.70083]}]},"bbox":[13.71,45.70083,13.71,45.70083],"properties":{"title":"Microbial processing of sedimentary organic matter at a shallow LTER site in the northern Adriatic Sea: an 8-year case study","type":"article","abstract":"Benthic prokaryotes are the key-players in C-cycling at the sediment-seawater interface, one of the largest biologically active interfaces on Earth. Here, microbial-mediated processes, such as the degradation of organic matter and the incorporation of mobilized C into microbial biomass, depend on several factors such as environmental temperature and substrate availability, especially in shallow sediments at mid-high latitudes where seasonal fluctuations of these variables occur. In the present study, four degradative activities (β-glucosidase, lipase, chitinase and aminopeptidase), Heterotrophic C Production (HCP), Total Organic C (TOC), Total Nitrogen (TN) and Biopolymeric C (BPC) were investigated seasonally from April 2010 to April 2018 in the surface sediments of a shallow Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) station of the northern Adriatic Sea. Significant temperature-dependences were described by Arrhenius-type equations for HCP and each of the degradative activities tested with the exception of aminopeptidase. The relatively low apparent Activation Energies suggested that these microbial-mediated processes were enhanced by the availability of palatable substrates over the study period. Nevertheless, a clear and tight dependence from such substrates was detected only for aminopeptidase, the most pronounced degradative activity observed. TN was identified by the stepwise multiple regression analysis as the environmental variable that mainly drove this exoenzymatic activity. Enhanced aminopeptidase rates mirrored peaks of TN that seemed, in turn, linked to the seasonal proliferation of benthic microalgae. By supplying prokaryotes with promptly available substrates, these autotrophs, represented mainly by diatoms, seemed to play an important role in the C-cycling regulation at the studied LTER station.","publicationDate":"2019-01-01","doi":"10.3897/natureconservation.34.30099","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.34.30099","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["IT"],"source_details":{"id":70,"name":"Nature Conservation","slug":"nature-conservation","issn_l":"1314-3301","openalex_id":"S2764730374","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S2764730374","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S2764730374","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://natureconservation.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/70/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/nature-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Franzo","Annalisa"],"keywords":["Benthic prokaryotes"],"topics":["Microbial Community Ecology and Physiology","Marine and coastal ecosystems","Marine Biology and Ecology Research"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2943684514","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.34.30099","mag":"2943684514","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W2943684514"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10800,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.66139,40.55611]}]},"bbox":[8.66139,40.55611,8.66139,40.55611],"properties":{"title":"Multiannual decrement of nutrient concentrations and phytoplankton cell size in a Mediterranean reservoir","type":"article","abstract":"Reservoirs are primary water resources for many uses in the Mediterreanean region and need dedicated studies for understanding the complexity of their dynamics particularly vulnerable to local and global stressors. This study focused on phytoplankton variations in relation to seasonal environmental changes on a multiannual time scale (2006–2015) at a Mediterranean eutrophic reservoir (Bidighinzu Lake, Italy) belonging to the Italian, European and International Long Term Ecological Research networks. Phytoplankton cell density, volume and biomass and chlorophyll a concentrations were analysed together with meteo-climatic, hydrological, physical and chemical variables to detect trends and correlations. The period under study was also compared with previous years to assess the presence of significant differences in the environmental and planktonic compartments. Multiannual changes were more pronounced in summer than in the other seasons during the decade under study. The most conspicuous environmental changes were a significant decrease in summer nutrient concentrations in the reservoir and a simultaneous anthropic pressure reduction in the watershed. In addition, the mixing zone and euphotic zone ratio also increased. Multiannual changes in summer phytoplankton composition consisted of an increased density of smaller Bacillariophyceae and Cyanophyceae, which replaced larger species of the same phytoplankton classes. This resulted in opposite trends of total phytoplankton cell density (increasing) and mean phytoplankton cell volume (decreasing) over the study years. The nutrient decrement was statistically the strongest environmental driver of the phytoplankton changes observed in the reservoir. However, the mixing zone and the euphotic zone ratio and water temperature also significantly affected the multiannual phytoplankton variations. Therefore, we conclude that the success of small cell-sized phytoplankton in Bidighinzu Lake was most probably due to the synergic interactions of more environmental forces related to changing anthropic pressures and climate variability. Our results highlight the importance of long-term monitoring of reservoirs in the Mediterranean basin, especially in semi-arid regions where the need and scarcity of high quality water will be further exacerbated due to the global climate change.","publicationDate":"2019-01-01","doi":"10.3897/natureconservation.34.30116","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.34.30116","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["IT"],"source_details":{"id":70,"name":"Nature Conservation","slug":"nature-conservation","issn_l":"1314-3301","openalex_id":"S2764730374","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S2764730374","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S2764730374","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://natureconservation.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/70/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/nature-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Pulina","Silvia"],"keywords":["Phytoplankton"],"topics":["Aquatic Ecosystems and Phytoplankton Dynamics","Marine and coastal ecosystems","Water Quality and Pollution Assessment"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2943044964","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.34.30116","mag":"2943044964","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W2943044964"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10798,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[12.123,44.61583]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[12.15417,44.64117]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[12.17083,44.56467]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[12.21217,44.60167]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[12.28183,44.8275]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[12.33883,44.81217]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[12.30517,44.82967]}]},"bbox":[12.123,44.56467,12.33883,44.82967],"properties":{"title":"Benthic studies in LTER sites: the use of taxonomy surrogates in the detection of long-term changes in lagoonal benthic assemblages","type":"article","abstract":"In benthic studies, the identification of organisms at the species level is known to be the best source for ecological and biological information even if time-consuming and expensive. However, taxonomic sufficiency (TS) has been proposed as a short-cut method for quantifying changes in biological assemblages in environmental monitoring. In this paper, we set out to determine whether and how the taxonomic complexity of a benthic assemblage influences the results of TS at two different long-term ecological research (LTER) sites in the Po delta region (north-eastern Italy). Specifically, we investigated whether TS can be used to detect natural and human-driven patterns of variation in benthic assemblages from lagoonal soft bottoms. The first benthic dataset was collected from 1996 to 2015 in a “choked” lagoon, the Valli di Comacchio, a lagoon characterised by long water residence times and heavy eutrophication, while the second was collected from 2004 to 2010 in a “leaky” lagoon, the Sacca di Goro, a coastal area with human pressure limited to aquaculture. Univariate and multivariate statistical analyses were used to assess differences in the taxonomic structure of benthic assemblages and to test TS on the two different datasets. TS seemed to work from species to family level at both sites, despite a higher natural variability of environmental conditions combined with multiple anthropogenic stressors. Therefore, TS at the family level may represent effective taxonomic surrogates across a range of environmental contexts in lagoon environments. Since the structure of the community and the magnitude of changes could influence the efficiency of taxonomic surrogates and data transformations in long-term monitoring, we also suggest periodic analyses at finer taxonomic levels in order to check the efficiency of the application of taxonomic substitutes in routine monitoring programmes in lagoon systems.","publicationDate":"2019-01-01","doi":"10.3897/natureconservation.34.27610","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.34.27610","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["IT"],"source_details":{"id":70,"name":"Nature Conservation","slug":"nature-conservation","issn_l":"1314-3301","openalex_id":"S2764730374","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S2764730374","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S2764730374","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://natureconservation.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/70/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/nature-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Pitacco","Valentina"],"keywords":["LTER sites"],"topics":["Marine Biology and Ecology Research","Isotope Analysis in Ecology","Marine and fisheries research"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2942961103","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.34.27610","mag":"2942961103","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W2942961103"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10797,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[164.42583,-75.11283]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[166.91283,-75.34933]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[167.24367,-75.84683]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[169.079,-76.6915]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[175.0945,-74.00883]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[177.294,-75.97]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[178.332,-75]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[171.58567,-74.2975]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[174.5865,-74.95517]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[171.745,-75.082]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[170.162,-76.11617]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[172.29333,-76.51117]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[179.10167,-76.23433]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[176.4915,-75.97317]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[173.58483,-75.849]}]},"bbox":[164.42583,-76.6915,179.10167,-74.00883],"properties":{"title":"Microbial metabolic rates in the Ross Sea: the ABIOCLEAR Project","type":"article","abstract":"The Ross Sea is one of the most productive areas of the Southern Ocean and includes several functionally different marine ecosystems.

As ancillary parameters, chlorophyll a, adenosine-triphosphate concentrations, temperature and salinity were measured and reported. Microbial metabolism was highly variable amongst stations and depths. In epi- and mesopelagic zones, respiratory rates varied between 52.4–437.0 and 6.3–271.5 nanol O2 l-1 h-1; prokaryotic heterotrophic production varied between 0.46–29.5 and 0.3–6.11 nanog C l-1 h-1; and prokaryotic biomass varied between 0.8–24.5 and 1.1–9.0 µg C l-1, respectively. The average heterotrophic energy production ranged between 570 and 103 mJ l-1 h-1 in upper and deeper layers, respectively. In the epipelagic layer, the Prokaryotic Carbon Demand and Prokaryotic Growth Efficiency averaged 9 times higher and 2 times lower, respectively, than in the mesopelagic one. The distribution of plankton metabolism and organic matter degradation was mainly related to the different hydrological and trophic conditions.

Stenosemella nivalis, S. ventricosa and Tintinnopsis beroidea can be considered as keystone species in the area and their possible loss can be seen as a signal of changes in the structure of the entire planktonic system.","publicationDate":"2019-01-01","doi":"10.3897/natureconservation.34.29841","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.34.29841","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["IT"],"source_details":{"id":70,"name":"Nature Conservation","slug":"nature-conservation","issn_l":"1314-3301","openalex_id":"S2764730374","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S2764730374","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S2764730374","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://natureconservation.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/70/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/nature-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Monti-Birkenmeier","Marina"],"keywords":["Tintinnids"],"topics":["Marine and coastal ecosystems","Marine Biology and Ecology Research","Microbial Community Ecology and Physiology"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2942802835","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.34.29841","mag":"2942802835","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W2942802835"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10781,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-79.85,9.15]}]},"bbox":[-79.85,9.15,-79.85,9.15],"properties":{"title":"The role of herbivorous insects and pathogens in the regeneration dynamics of Guazuma ulmifolia in Panama","type":"article","abstract":"A significant proportion of the mortality of rainforest trees occurs during early life stages (seeds and seedlings), but mortality agents are often elusive. Our study investigated the role of herbivorous insects and pathogens in the early regeneration dynamics of Guazuma ulmifolia (Malvaceae), an important tree species in agroforestry in Central America. We reared pre-dispersal insect seed predators from G. ulmifolia seeds in Panama. We also carried out an experiment, controlling insects and pathogens using insecticide and/or fungicide treatments, as well as seed density, and compared survivorship of G. ulmifolia seeds and seedlings among treatments and relative to untreated control plots. We observed (1) high pre-dispersal attack (92%) of the fruits of G. ulmifolia, mostly by anobiine and bruchine beetles; (2) negligible post-dispersal attack of isolated seeds by insects and pathogens; (3) slow growth and high mortality (> 95%) of seedlings after 14 weeks; (4) low insect damage on seedlings; and (5) a strong positive correlation between seedling mortality and rainfall. We conclude that for G. ulmifolia at our study site the pre-dispersal seed stage is by far the most sensitive stage to insects and that their influence on seedling mortality appears to be slight as compared to that of inclement weather. Thus, the regeneration of this important tree species may depend on effective primary dispersal of seeds by vertebrates (before most of the seed crop is lost to insects), conditioned by suitable conditions in which the seedlings can grow.","publicationDate":"2019-01-01","doi":"10.3897/natureconservation.32.30108","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.32.30108","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["PA"],"source_details":{"id":70,"name":"Nature Conservation","slug":"nature-conservation","issn_l":"1314-3301","openalex_id":"S2764730374","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S2764730374","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S2764730374","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://natureconservation.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/70/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/nature-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Solé","Raphaele"],"keywords":["Anobiidae"],"topics":["Ecology and Vegetation Dynamics Studies","Plant and animal studies","Forest Insect Ecology and Management"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2921807026","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.32.30108","mag":"2921807026","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W2921807026"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10780,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[88.0153,27.33395]}]},"bbox":[88.0153,27.33395,88.0153,27.33395],"properties":{"title":"First photographic record of marbled cat Pardofelis marmorata Martin, 1837 (Mammalia, Carnivora, Felidae) in Nepal","type":"article","abstract":"The marbled cat Pardofelis marmorata is a Near Threatened small felid.

Regulation of boat approaches varies by site and no systematic investigations have been performed to inform management guidelines. To investigate possible effects of disturbance, experimental boat approaches were made to a colony at Kanowna Island in northern Bass Strait and seal responses were monitored using instantaneous scan sampling. Colony attendance (individuals remaining ashore) was found to be influenced by approach distance and time of day, but was not affected by environmental variables or season, whereas onshore resting behavior was influenced by approach distance, time of day, ambient temperature and wind direction. Onshore resting behavior decreased following experimental boat approaches to 75 m, but changes in abundance of individuals ashore were not observed at this distance. In contrast, approaches to 25 m elicited a strong response, with a steep decline in the number of individuals ashore. This response was strongest when approaches occurred in the morning, with a decline of approximately 47% of individuals, compared to a decline of 21% during afternoon approaches. With regard to onshore resting behavior, afternoon approaches to 75 m led to minimal response. The remaining three combinations of approach distance and time of day had a similar pattern of reductions in the proportion of individuals engaging in onshore resting behavior. The strongest response was again seen during approaches to 25 m conducted in the morning. These behavior changes suggest that unrestricted boat-based ecotourism at Australian fur seal colonies has the potential to increase energy expenditure and reduce the number of seals ashore. Increasing minimum approach distances to ≥75 m and/or restricting visits to afternoons may minimize these impacts at Kanowna Island during the post-molt and non-breeding seasons. As several studies have demonstrated considerable intra-species variation in seal responses to boat approaches, research at other colonies is needed before these findings can be generalized to the remainder of the Australian fur seal population.","publicationDate":"2018-01-01","doi":"10.3897/natureconservation.31.26263","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.31.26263","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["AU"],"source_details":{"id":70,"name":"Nature Conservation","slug":"nature-conservation","issn_l":"1314-3301","openalex_id":"S2764730374","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S2764730374","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S2764730374","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://natureconservation.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/70/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/nature-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Back","Julia"],"keywords":["Arctocephalus"],"topics":["Marine animal studies overview","Avian ecology and behavior","Animal Vocal Communication and Behavior"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2904574026","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.31.26263","mag":"2904574026","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W2904574026"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10770,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[20.88333,46.11667]}]},"bbox":[20.88333,46.11667,20.88333,46.11667],"properties":{"title":"Assessing the potential distribution of invasive alien species Amorpha fruticosa (Mill.) in the Mureş Floodplain Natural Park (Romania) using GIS and logistic regression","type":"article","abstract":"The assessment of invasive terrestrial plant species in the Romanian protected areas is an important research direction, especially since the adventive species have become biological hazards with significant impacts on biodiversity.

Changes in population parameters can provide early warning signs of negative impacts. In tropical forests, where habitat loss and fragmentation are vast, such indicators are of high relevance for directing conservation efforts before effects are irreversible. Most of our knowledge from tropical ecosystems originates from community level surveys, whereas our understanding of the influence of habitat conversion on vital rates of species is limited. This study focused on the influence of anthropogenic habitat fragmentation on the survival probability and abundance of three leaf-litter frog species (Rhinella ornata, Ischnocnema guentheri and I. parva) in forest patches of the Atlantic rainforest of South-east Brazil compared to a continuous forest. The species differ in their matrix tolerance: high for R. ornata and low for I. guentheri and I. parva and, thus, we examined whether their survival and abundance correspond to this classification. Ischnocnema guentheri showed highest abundances in all study sites and low mortality in the forest patches compared to the continuous forest; I. parva was encountered only in isolated fragments, with very low mortality in one isolated fragment; and the matrix tolerant species had generally low abundance and showed no clear pattern in terms of mortality in the different sites. Our counter-intuitive results show that even matrix sensitive amphibian species may show high abundance and low mortality in small forest patches. Therefore, these patches can be of high value for amphibian conservation regardless of their degree of matrix aversion. Landscape level conservation planning should not abandon small habitat patches, especially in highly fragmented tropical environments.","publicationDate":"2018-01-01","doi":"10.3897/natureconservation.26.25339","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.26.25339","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["BR"],"source_details":{"id":70,"name":"Nature Conservation","slug":"nature-conservation","issn_l":"1314-3301","openalex_id":"S2764730374","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S2764730374","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S2764730374","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://natureconservation.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/70/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/nature-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Steinicke","Henning"],"keywords":["Amphibia"],"topics":["Amphibian and Reptile Biology","Wildlife-Road Interactions and Conservation","Species Distribution and Climate Change"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2801348395","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.26.25339","mag":"2801348395","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W2801348395"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10739,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[11.29698,43.85974]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[11.29337,43.85919]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[11.22672,43.72097]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[11.81161,44.27602]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[11.67196,44.24288]}]},"bbox":[11.22672,43.72097,11.81161,44.27602],"properties":{"title":"Comparative assessment of reproductive traits across different habitats in the endangered Webb’s hyacinth (Bellevalia webbiana Parl.)","type":"article","abstract":"To pursue a proper conservation of narrow endemic species, the knowledge of basic reproductive strategies is crucial to plan adequate conservation activities. One of the most evolutionarily relevant and threatened Italian endemic is the Webb’s hyacinth (Bellevalia webbiana Parl.). As the reproductive behaviour of this species and its connection with human impact are currently unknown, the aim of this study was to characterise the reproductive traits of the Webb’s hyacinth in contrasting habitats. All the 5 known richest populations across the species range were investigated. Their reproductive strategies were inferred by measuring inflorescence height, fruit set, seed set and P/O ratio. Reproductive features varied greatly amongst stands and also in relation to the degree of human disturbance. However, in all cases, seed sets showed low values. P/O values point towards full xenogamy and it is concluded that effective cross-pollination may be the main mode of sexual reproduction in Bellevalia webbiana. The reasons for the low reproductive performances may reside in pollen limitation, Allee effect and/or intrinsic reduced fertility of the species. Given this scenario, conservation efforts for Webb’s hyacinth should focus on maintaining large and relatively dense populations, to guarantee some chance of in situ survival.","publicationDate":"2018-01-01","doi":"10.3897/natureconservation.24.20650","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.24.20650","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["IT"],"source_details":{"id":70,"name":"Nature Conservation","slug":"nature-conservation","issn_l":"1314-3301","openalex_id":"S2764730374","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S2764730374","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S2764730374","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://natureconservation.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/70/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/nature-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Astuti","Giovanni"],"keywords":["conservation"],"topics":["Plant and animal studies","Ecology and Vegetation Dynamics Studies","Horticultural and Viticultural Research"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2782419827","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.24.20650","mag":"2782419827","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W2782419827"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10738,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[20.92,47.58]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[20.94284,47.57327]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[20.97399,47.58522]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[20.8729,47.58959]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[20.95162,47.57009]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[20.88147,47.55052]}]},"bbox":[20.8729,47.55052,20.97399,47.58959],"properties":{"title":"Cultural heritage and biodiversity conservation – plant introduction and practical restoration on ancient burial mounds","type":"article","abstract":"Linking the conservation of cultural heritage and natural values provides a unique opportunity for preserving traditional landscapes and receives an increased awareness from stakeholders and society. Ancient burial mounds are proper objects of such projects as they are iconic landscape elements of the Eurasian steppes and often act as refugia for grassland specialist species. The aim of this project was to reintroduce grassland plant species to burial mounds for representing them as cultural monuments with the associated biodiversity for the public. The effectiveness of seed sowing, transplanting greenhouse-grown plants and individuals from threatened populations on burial mounds in Hortobágy National Park, Hungary was tested. The following questions were answered: (1) which method is the most effective for species introduction? (2) which species can establish most successfully? (3) how does management affect the species establishment rates? It was found advisable to use a combination of seed sowing and transplanting greenhouse-grown plants. Sowing was found as a cost-effective method for introducing large-seeded species, whilst introduction of greenhouse-grown transplants warranted higher establishment rates for a larger set of species. Transplanting adult individuals was more reliable regardless of management regimes, however this method is labour-intensive and expensive. Intensive management, like mowing with heavy machinery and intensive grazing, should be avoided in the first few years after introduction. The authors highlighted the fact that introducing characteristic grassland species on cultural monuments offers a great opportunity to link issues of landscape and biodiversity conservation. This project demonstrated that, by the revitalisation of cultural monuments, cultural ecosystem services can also be restored.","publicationDate":"2018-01-01","doi":"10.3897/natureconservation.24.20019","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.24.20019","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["HU"],"source_details":{"id":70,"name":"Nature Conservation","slug":"nature-conservation","issn_l":"1314-3301","openalex_id":"S2764730374","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S2764730374","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S2764730374","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://natureconservation.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/70/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/nature-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Valkó","Orsolya"],"keywords":["cultural ecosystem services"],"topics":["Botany and Plant Ecology Studies","Land Use and Ecosystem Services","Ecology and Vegetation Dynamics Studies"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2781863474","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.24.20019","mag":"2781863474","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W2781863474"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10736,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-61.97217,-38.065]}]},"bbox":[-61.97217,-38.065,-61.97217,-38.065],"properties":{"title":"Vector analysis: a tool for preventing the introduction of invasive alien species into protected areas","type":"article","abstract":"Invasive alien species are the main agent of biodiversity loss in protected natural areas. Prevention is the most appropriate management tool for addressing this challenge, however, virtually all ongoing management efforts are focused on established populations. Although invasion processes include stochastic components, it is possible to compare the different vectors of introduction that operate in a particular area in terms of their potential to transport species of high risk of invasion efficiently and, once identified, to establish strategies of prevention, early detection and rapid action. This study proposes a system of prioritization of vectors of alien plant dispersal for optimizing the efforts for preventing invasion. The system was developed for the Ernesto Tornquist Provincial Park (province of Buenos Aires, Argentina), but it is directly applicable to other areas. Natural and anthropogenic vectors were evaluated and lists of the species potentially transported by each vector were elaborated according to the characteristics of their propagules. The system analyzes the relative importance of each vector according to: 1) the severity of the potential impact of transportable species, 2) the difficulty of controlling these species, and 3) the volume of transportable propagules. In the case under study, the maximum value of risk corresponds to cargo, followed by vehicles, streams, unintentional human transport, intentional human transport, wind and finally, animals. This analysis can lead to prevention strategies, mapping of dispersal routes and actions of early detection and rapid response.","publicationDate":"2018-01-01","doi":"10.3897/natureconservation.24.20607","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.24.20607","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["AR"],"source_details":{"id":70,"name":"Nature Conservation","slug":"nature-conservation","issn_l":"1314-3301","openalex_id":"S2764730374","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S2764730374","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S2764730374","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://natureconservation.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/70/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/nature-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Brancatelli","Gabriela"],"keywords":["biological invasions"],"topics":["Ecology and Vegetation Dynamics Studies","Biological Control of Invasive Species","Plant and animal studies"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2781507302","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.24.20607","mag":"2781507302","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W2781507302"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10729,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[75.41667,49.41667]}]},"bbox":[75.41667,49.41667,75.41667,49.41667],"properties":{"title":"Integration of species and ecosystem monitoring for selecting priority areas for biodiversity conservation: Case studies from the Palearctic of Russia","type":"article","abstract":"At the start of the third millennium, new opportunities have arisen in biogeographical research, namely in the generalisation, visualisation and cross-spectrum analysis of biological and geographical information and in the compilation of biogeographical maps and innovative models for regions that differ in the availability of distribution data.

Hence, these issues cannot be neglected when planning conservation actions for isolated populations. The Italian population of Cistus laurifolius subsp. laurifolius is extremely isolated. Furthermore, it is affected by fragmentation, being constituted by a single larger subpopulation, surrounded by three much smaller subpopulations, a few hundred metres to a few kilometres apart. In order to fill gaps in demographic and genetic knowledge concerning the Italian population, its area of occupancy, size, age-stage structure and phenology were investigated and its reproductive fitness, pollination strategies and genetic variability were assessed. The population was inferred as fully xenogamous and showed good reproductive performance. Despite this, its genetic variability was low and it showed relatively high levels of inbreeding depression (Fis), seemingly not affected by sub-population size. These results suggest that the Italian population recently suffered fragmentation and reduction in size. The low genetic diversity observed could be explained by the high percentage of mature individuals found in the population, possibly established before fragmentation. For these reasons, the Italian population of C. laurifolius subsp. laurifolius should be monitored and concrete actions aimed at its conservation planned.","publicationDate":"2017-01-01","doi":"10.3897/natureconservation.22.19809","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.22.19809","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["IT"],"source_details":{"id":70,"name":"Nature Conservation","slug":"nature-conservation","issn_l":"1314-3301","openalex_id":"S2764730374","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S2764730374","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S2764730374","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://natureconservation.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/70/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/nature-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Astuti","Giovanni"],"keywords":["Conservation biology"],"topics":["Plant and animal studies","Ecology and Vegetation Dynamics Studies","Mediterranean and Iberian flora and fauna"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2765209763","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.22.19809","mag":"2765209763","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W2765209763"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10727,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-61.65583,3.42444]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-59.23778,-1.80667]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-61.70806,3.63139]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-59.42806,0.80028]}]},"bbox":[-61.70806,-1.80667,-59.23778,3.63139],"properties":{"title":"Terrestrial mammal assemblages in protected and human impacted areas in Northern Brazilian Amazonia","type":"article","abstract":"Mammal communities in the vicinity of human settlements are often subject to subsistence hunting and retaliatory killings.

We carried out an ecosystem services (ES) assessment at the Rizoelia National Forest Park, a biodiversity hotspot in Cyprus. For ES assessment we used TESSA v.1.1 and an ES matrix-approach to map the capacity of habitat types in the area. According to TESSA the most important ES provided by the study area are aesthetic benefits, recreation/ tourism, biodiversity, global climate regulation, and environmental education. Total Carbon stock was estimated to 14247.327 tonnes and the total number of annual visits was 14471. There were no statistically significant differences in the number of visits among visitation periods but there were statistically significant differences among National Holidays, Weekends and Weekdays.

This paper presents the results of research and assessment of management strategy for mountain beech-dominated forests in the Jeseníky Mountains (Czech Republic). Our approach is based on combining research on historical development of the forest ecosystem, assessment of its current state, and predictions of future dynamics using a forest growth simulation model. Using such a method makes it possible to understand the current state of the mountain beech-dominated forest ecosystem and predict its future development as a response to specific management strategies. The application of this method is therefore appropriate for assessing the suitability of selected management strategies in mountain protected areas. Our results show that a non-intervention management for mountain beech forest in the next 80 years complies with the Natura 2000 requirement to maintain the existing character of the forest habitat. Thus, the current management plan for the beech-dominated forests in the Jeseníky Mountains does not require significant corrections in the context of its conservation targets (i.e. maintaining biodiversity and current character of the forest ecosystem dominated by beech). The results of this study suggest that combining the knowledge on historical development with forest growth simulation can be used as a suitable support tool to assess management strategies for forest habitats in protected areas.","publicationDate":"2017-01-01","doi":"10.3897/natureconservation.22.12902","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.22.12902","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["CZ"],"source_details":{"id":70,"name":"Nature Conservation","slug":"nature-conservation","issn_l":"1314-3301","openalex_id":"S2764730374","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S2764730374","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S2764730374","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://natureconservation.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/70/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/nature-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Machar","Ivo"],"keywords":["Beech-dominated forest"],"topics":["Forest Ecology and Biodiversity Studies","Botany and Plant Ecology Studies","Forest ecology and management"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2763423280","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.22.12902","mag":"2763423280","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W2763423280"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10715,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-116.65,51.23333]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-115.41667,51.13333]}]},"bbox":[-116.65,51.13333,-115.41667,51.23333],"properties":{"title":"Caching behaviour by red squirrels may contribute to food conditioning of grizzly bears","type":"article","abstract":"We describe an interspecific relationship wherein grizzly bears (Ursus arctos horribilis) appear to seek out and consume agricultural seeds concentrated in the middens of red squirrels (Tamiasciurus hudsonicus), which had collected and cached spilled grain from a railway.

Forest regrowth was encouraged by managing the natural growth of the local fallow vegetation and by bringing in seeds and other propagules from forest islands of Benin. The succession to shade-tolerant woody forest species of Guineo-Congolian origin at the expense of extra-regional herbs, the co-existence of species with slightly different requirements, and the fate of exotic trees in this natural forest are described. A quantitative assessment of a homogeneous lot indicated 397 trees per ha, with stem diameters >10 cm, 43.7% of them below 20 cm, and a rich undergrowth of 72600 smaller plants per ha, proof of active rejuvenation. Only 4.2% of all plants resulted from the 1041 introduction events, i.e., species per date, mostly of the 253 plant species that were new to Drabo. A total of 635 species were recorded, but 50 did not survive and four are yet to be identified. In June 2016, the total of 581 known living species included 224 trees. Among all plants, 244 hailed from the Guineo-Congolian zone with 17 of Upper Guinean and four of Lower Guinean origin, 113 from the three savannah zones, and 224 were of extra-regional origin. Overall, 72.8% of all woody plants, such as many climbers, all shrubs and trees, were of forest and savanna origin (GC, SG, SZ and S), whereas 70.4% of all herbs came from other regions (At, PAL and Pt). Only 7.0% of all species from the GC zone were in decline; but the further away the plants originated from, the larger the decline in numbers and vigour, up to 64.6% among plants of pan-tropical origin. Particularly pan-tropical herbs became ever rarer, with 80.0% of them declining and confined to the few open spaces along paths. In 2017 the forest harboured 52 threatened species, with threat categories EW, CR, EN or VU on the Red List of Benin, out of 73 IUCN-listed species that could possibly survive in Drabo. Some of these species occur in only one or two other locations in Benin. The biodiversity richness of the rehabilitated forests of Drabo now rivals that of natural rainforest remnants of the region. As the surrounding landscape becomes ever more impoverished because of the high human population and its ever increasing impact, the maintenance of such managed islands of biodiversity is critical. By establishing rare local species from other locations we can compensate for direct human destruction and long-term stochastic loss of species in this highly fragmented landscape where natural seed dispersal is difficult.

The experiments conducted, mainly with log piles built from freshly cut wood, investigated, amongst other things, the importance of wood type, diameter of logs and age of wood for the number of individuals observed. Based on these results and on a literature review, a detailed monitoring method for M. asper is proposed here, together with a discussion on its constraints, spatial validity and possible interferences.

The detailed description of methods and the results for each species are published in separate articles of this special issue of Nature Conservation. A second objective of the project was to gather faunistic data with a Citizen Science approach, using the web and a mobile application software (app) specifically built for mobile devices. The validation of the records collected by the citizens was carried out by experts, based on photographs, which were obligatory for all records. Dissemination activities represented the principal way to contact and engage citizens for the data collection and also offered the possibility of providing information on topics such as Natura 2000, the Habitats Directive, the role of monitoring in nature conservation, the importance of forest ecosystems and the ecological role of the saproxylic insects. An innovative method tested during the project was the training of a dog for searching and monitoring the elusive hermit beetle; the trained dog also added a “curiosity” factor to attract public attention towards this rare insect and the issues mentioned above.","publicationDate":"2017-01-01","doi":"10.3897/natureconservation.20.12761","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.20.12761","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["IT"],"source_details":{"id":70,"name":"Nature Conservation","slug":"nature-conservation","issn_l":"1314-3301","openalex_id":"S2764730374","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S2764730374","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S2764730374","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://natureconservation.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/70/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/nature-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Carpaneto","Giuseppe Maria"],"keywords":["Saproxylic beetle monitoring"],"topics":["Animal and Plant Science Education","Forest Insect Ecology and Management","Insect Utilization and Effects"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2750453339","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.20.12761","mag":"2750453339","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W2750453339"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10704,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[10.74084,45.2003]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[11.8379,43.8311]}]},"bbox":[10.74084,43.8311,11.8379,45.2003],"properties":{"title":"Guidelines for the monitoring of Lucanus cervus","type":"article","abstract":"Lucanus cervus is one of the most charismatic saproxylic beetles, widely distributed in Europe.

Based on these results, a suitable standard method for L. cervus is proposed in this paper and, in order to assess the conservation status of populations and to compare them over time, a simple method for the calculation of a reference value is provided.","publicationDate":"2017-01-01","doi":"10.3897/natureconservation.20.12687","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.20.12687","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["IT"],"source_details":{"id":70,"name":"Nature Conservation","slug":"nature-conservation","issn_l":"1314-3301","openalex_id":"S2764730374","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S2764730374","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S2764730374","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://natureconservation.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/70/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/nature-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Bardiani","Marco"],"keywords":["Habitats Directive"],"topics":["Forest Ecology and Biodiversity Studies","Lichen and fungal ecology","Forest Insect Ecology and Management"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2745598803","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.20.12687","mag":"2745598803","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W2745598803"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10701,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[15.56667,44.86667]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[26.25,57.66667]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[22.15,60.41667]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[14.63333,51.53333]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[17.6,47.7]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[16.95,47.28333]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[26.88333,57.5]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[19.1,48.46667]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[25.05,46.06667]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[29.86667,58.85]}]},"bbox":[14.63333,44.86667,29.86667,60.41667],"properties":{"title":"Evidence for geographic substructuring of mtDNA variation in the East European Hermit beetle (Osmoderma barnabita)","type":"article","abstract":"The genus Osmoderma is a flagship taxon of invertebrate conservation in Europe and encompasses a complex of four accepted species. While species limits amongst Osmoderma have been intensively studied, patterns of intraspecific variation are poorly known. In this paper, the authors focus on clarifying the phylogeographic structure of the East European Osmoderma barnabita using samples from Croatia to Finland. Samples of hind legs were collected from populations in Latvia and Finland (n=186) and combined with previously-published sequences from GenBank and museum specimens (n=10). In a partial sequence of the mitochondrial COI gene (759 bp), 26 closely related haplotypes were found. Beetle samples from different parts of Europe were distinct and showed no overlap in haplotype composition. The solitary population of Finland proved to be monomorphic and all 97 individuals sampled here belonged to a single haplotype unique to this region. The results suggest the Northern parts of Eastern Europe to be dominated by a single COI haplotype to which most of the other haplotypes are linked by one or two mutations. The pattern seems to reflect a founder effect or a strong bottleneck event. While O. barnabita is widely distributed over Eastern Europe, current patterns of mitochondrial genetic diversity appear influenced by population history and little homogenisation by ongoing gene flow. From a conservation perspective, the patterns suggest that regional populations might need to be managed as subunits and that the population of Finland may be affected by low genetic diversity.","publicationDate":"2017-01-01","doi":"10.3897/natureconservation.19.12877","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.19.12877","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["DE","EE","HR","HU","LV","RO","RU","SK"],"source_details":{"id":70,"name":"Nature Conservation","slug":"nature-conservation","issn_l":"1314-3301","openalex_id":"S2764730374","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S2764730374","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S2764730374","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://natureconservation.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/70/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/nature-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Landvik","Matti"],"keywords":["Osmoderma"],"topics":["Forest Ecology and Biodiversity Studies","Forest Insect Ecology and Management","Coleoptera Taxonomy and Distribution"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2739717217","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.19.12877","mag":"2739717217","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W2739717217"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10698,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[10.73476,45.19961]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[10.74199,45.19848]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[13.2994,46.34349]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[13.3078,46.34142]}]},"bbox":[10.73476,45.19848,13.3078,46.34349],"properties":{"title":"Attraction of different types of wood for adults of Morimus asper (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae)","type":"article","abstract":"Morimus asper reproduces mainly in freshly dead wood and, as a consequence, populations are affected by modern forestry practices.

Larvae of M. asper are polyphagous, but some studies indicate that adults prefer the wood of some tree species. Freshly cut log piles, which attract adults, have been proposed as a monitoring tool. For monitoring programmes, it is essential to select the most appropriate wood and therefore the attraction of different types of wood for adults of M. asper was investigated in two sites in northern Italian, using freshly cut log piles. The first experiment was carried out in the Nature Reserve Bosco della Fontana (a lowland forest, Mantua province), testing two autochthonous species (Carpinus betulus and Fraxinus ornus) and two allochthonous species (Juglans nigra and Quercus rubra). The second study was conducted in the Parco Naturale Regionale delle Prealpi Giulie (a mountain area, Udine province), employing Fagus sylvatica, Fraxinus excelsior and Picea abies (all autochthonous species). The population of this area belongs to the taxon formerly named M. funereus. In both sites, adults clearly preferred the wood of some particular species: J. nigra at Bosco della Fontana and F. sylvatica in the mountain area.

Although it has been the focus of active research in the last two decades, many aspects of its ecology and habitat requirements for the larvae remain poorly known, particularly to what extent certain factors limit larval development. The objectives of this preliminary work were: (1) to explore the feasibility of a non-invasive method for detecting oviposition sites; (2) to attempt the characterisation of above-ground ecological factors recorded in the oviposition sites and (3) to quantify the number of traps and operators needed for obtaining a number of beetles suitable for statistical analysis. In 2014, twelve females were followed by means of radio-telemetry to detect potential oviposition sites in a relict broadleaf forest of northern Italy. In 2015, emergence traps were set in nine sites selected from the 21 sites where females were recorded digging deeply in the soil near to dead wood during the previous year. Traps were checked during the 2015 and 2016 flight seasons. Overall, 15 stag beetles were detected (8 males and 7 females) from five emergence trap sites which were therefore regarded as real oviposition sites. All oviposition sites were characterised in terms of typology of dead wood, tree species, canopy openness, trunk diameter, dead wood volume, decomposition stage (five classes) and wood hardness (four classes). All the detected emergence sites belonged to the genus Quercus, two being from the allochthonous Q. rubra, but no preferences for a dead wood species nor for a typology were shown and a broad variation was apparent for all the considered variables. The mean values of canopy openness, diameter, dead wood volume, decay status and wood hardness were 2.54%, 51cm, 4.92m3, 3 and 3.4 respectively. These data suggested an important heterogeneity in the oviposition sites selection. Although this method (telemetry + emergence traps) provided substantial aid to finding newly emerged beetles, it required a large amount of fieldwork effort, both in terms of time and man-hours. The advantage of the method is its low degree of invasion while its drawback is the amount of effort needed. Calculations were made to assess the minimum number of operators and traps needed to gather a number of data suitable for statistical analysis. It was found that two full time operators should be able to detect about 50 potential oviposition sites in one flight season, 28 of which were expected to be real oviposition sites.","publicationDate":"2017-01-01","doi":"10.3897/natureconservation.19.12678","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.19.12678","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["IT"],"source_details":{"id":70,"name":"Nature Conservation","slug":"nature-conservation","issn_l":"1314-3301","openalex_id":"S2764730374","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S2764730374","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S2764730374","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://natureconservation.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/70/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/nature-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Tini","Massimiliano"],"keywords":["emergence traps"],"topics":["Forest Ecology and Biodiversity Studies","Forest Insect Ecology and Management","Mycorrhizal Fungi and Plant Interactions"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2741873809","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.19.12678","mag":"2741873809","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W2741873809"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10689,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.52443,45.94457]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[10.74708,45.19843]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[9.575,44.92222]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[12.18722,43.44028]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[12.27515,43.3764]}]},"bbox":[8.52443,43.3764,12.27515,45.94457],"properties":{"title":"Latitudinal cline in weapon allometry and phenology of the European stag beetle","type":"article","abstract":"Animal body size commonly exhibits a remarkable variation in response to environmental conditions. Latitude, when correlated with temperature, rainfall and seasonality, represents one of the main determinants of variation in body size, as well as in allometry. It has long been recognised that populations of larger body size are found in colder environments (Bergmann’s Rule), a cornerstone of evolutionary ecology. However, the way in which latitude might influence investment in exaggerated weapons of animals has received little attention. The European stag beetle Lucanus cervus (Linnaeus, 1758) is the focus of this study. Males of this species exhibit exaggerated mandibles, mainly used as weapons during intra-sexual conflicts. Five populations ranging from northern Italy to the southern limit of the distribution of L. cervus were analysed. Combining morphological and phenological data, latitudinal variation in body size, weapon investment and activity period of the adults were evaluated. The analysis of the allometry of mandibles strongly supported the presence of two male morphs. Large males (major morph) invest significantly more in weapons compared to males of the minor morph. Consistent with Bergmann’s Rule, these results confirmed that the stag beetle body size increased at higher latitudes (N) and that this increase in size triggers an arms race which leads to further exaggeration of male weapons which is particularly evident in major males. In this morph, the mandible allometric coefficient line was steeper for the northern populations. The activity period also varied with latitude, beginning later at lower latitudes. Characterisation and comparison of adult phenologies provide valuable data to be used in the design of monitoring programmes for this threatened species and are important for modelling the species responses to climate change.","publicationDate":"2017-01-01","doi":"10.3897/natureconservation.19.12681","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.19.12681","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["IT"],"source_details":{"id":70,"name":"Nature Conservation","slug":"nature-conservation","issn_l":"1314-3301","openalex_id":"S2764730374","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S2764730374","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S2764730374","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://natureconservation.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/70/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/nature-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Romiti","Federico"],"keywords":["morphometry"],"topics":["Species Distribution and Climate Change","Animal Ecology and Behavior Studies","Ecology and Vegetation Dynamics Studies"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2741571049","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.19.12681","mag":"2741571049","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W2741571049"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10688,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[0.66583,49.45083]}]},"bbox":[0.66583,49.45083,0.66583,49.45083],"properties":{"title":"Spatial analysis of the habitat and distribution of Osmoderma eremita (Scop.) in trees outside of woodlands","type":"article","abstract":"The endangered and specialised saproxylic beetle Osmoderma eremita occurs in veteran trees, a habitat particularly threatened by changes in agricultural landscapes. Its conservation requires information about populations and key features of host trees. Surveys of 8,014 trees (pollarded or in hedgerows) were carried out and analysed, based on habitat description (tree level) and spatial information (hedgerow length and distance to the nearest inhabited tree). A suitable cavity was present in 61% of the trees and O. eremita was detected in 42 trees, mainly in Salix (30 observations), the most common tree amongst those surveyed. A small or absent crown was a significant factor in explaining the beetle’s presence, as was the distance to the nearest inhabited tree. The largest population of O. eremita, 19 inhabited trees, was found in a wide and continuous area formed by trees with suitable cavities, with distances of less than 250m from each another. Seven smaller areas, with 7, 5 or 1 inhabited trees, were also found. When analysing inhabited trees on a 1km² grid, 17km2 hosted O. eremita, corresponding to a dense network of 63km of hedges. The presence of O. eremita significantly increased per km² with increasing length of hedges and this variable was thus used to guide forthcoming investigations directed toward Osmoderma. As the hedgerows existing in 1999 had decreased by 6.1% in 2009, it is concluded that the long term survival of O. eremita is under threat. The preservation of trees outside woodlands is urgent and has already started, in connection with Natura 2000 policies. Regeneration and creation of new hedgerows is also ongoing and can be reinforced both by using Salix and by promoting pruning to increase formation of cavities.","publicationDate":"2017-01-01","doi":"10.3897/natureconservation.19.12417","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.19.12417","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["FR"],"source_details":{"id":70,"name":"Nature Conservation","slug":"nature-conservation","issn_l":"1314-3301","openalex_id":"S2764730374","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S2764730374","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S2764730374","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://natureconservation.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/70/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/nature-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Dodelin","Benoît"],"keywords":["Insect conservation"],"topics":["Forest Ecology and Biodiversity Studies","Lichen and fungal ecology","Mycorrhizal Fungi and Plant Interactions"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2740875182","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.19.12417","mag":"2740875182","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W2740875182"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10676,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-79.744,-3.655]}]},"bbox":[-79.744,-3.655,-79.744,-3.655],"properties":{"title":"Effects of forest fragmentation on the morphological and genetic structure of a dispersal-limited, endangered bird species","type":"article","abstract":"Throughout the tropics, pristine forests disappear at an alarming pace. This presents a severe threat to forest-dependent species. Especially dispersal-limited understory birds are affected by forest loss. We here explored the effects of habitat fragmentation on the genetic structure and the morphology of the Ecuadorian Tapaculo (Scytalopus robbinsi). This bird occurs only in a small range in the premontane cloud forests of southwestern Ecuador. The global population size is declining rapidly due to habitat loss and is currently estimated at only 3000 mature individuals. We caught a total of 28 Ecuadorian Tapaculos in forests of varying size in an area of about 40 km². From each bird, we took morphological measurements and a blood sample. This was used to develop a set of 10 species-specific microsatellite primers for genetic analysis and we found that the Ecuadorian Tapaculos display high levels of genetic diversity. Additionally, we identified dispersal corridors for the species across the landscape using a least-cost path analysis. Notably, we found that wing shape is related to forest size. Individuals in smaller fragments show adaptations of the wing morphology to enhanced mobility and better flight capacity. Our results suggest that the Ecuadorian Tapaculo may rapidly adapt its morphology to the level of habitat fragmentation. This potential can possibly mitigate the risk of local extinctions of the species due to human-caused forest loss and fragmentation.","publicationDate":"2016-01-01","doi":"10.3897/natureconservation.16.10905","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.16.10905","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["EC"],"source_details":{"id":70,"name":"Nature Conservation","slug":"nature-conservation","issn_l":"1314-3301","openalex_id":"S2764730374","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S2764730374","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S2764730374","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://natureconservation.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/70/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/nature-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Hermes","Claudia"],"keywords":["El Oro Tapaculo"],"topics":["Wildlife Ecology and Conservation","Ecology and Vegetation Dynamics Studies","Species Distribution and Climate Change"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2552491234","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.16.10905","mag":"2552491234","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W2552491234"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10674,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[55.65889,-4.33583]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[55.65833,-4.33556]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[55.65694,-4.33444]}]},"bbox":[55.65694,-4.33583,55.65889,-4.33444],"properties":{"title":"Large-scale coral reef restoration could assist natural recovery in Seychelles, Indian Ocean","type":"article","abstract":"The aim of ecological restoration is to establish self-sustaining and resilient systems. In coral reef restoration, transplantation of nursery-grown corals is seen as a potential method to mitigate reef degradation and enhance recovery. The transplanted reef should be capable of recruiting new juvenile corals to ensure long-term resilience. Here, we quantified how coral transplantation influenced natural coral recruitment at a large-scale coral reef restoration site in Seychelles, Indian Ocean. Between November 2011 and June 2014 a total of 24,431 nursery-grown coral colonies from 10 different coral species were transplanted in 5,225 m2 (0.52 ha) of degraded reef at the no-take marine reserve of Cousin Island Special Reserve in an attempt to assist in natural reef recovery. We present the results of research and monitoring conducted before and after coral transplantation to evaluate the positive effect that the project had on coral recruitment and reef recovery at the restored site. We quantified the density of coral recruits (spat <1 cm) and juveniles (colonies 1-5 cm) at the transplanted site, a degraded control site and a healthy control site at the marine reserve. We used ceramic tiles to estimate coral settlement and visual surveys with 1 m2 quadrats to estimate coral recruitment. Six months after tile deployment, total spat density at the transplanted site (123.4 ± 13.3 spat m-2) was 1.8 times higher than at healthy site (68.4 ± 7.8 spat m-2) and 1.6 times higher than at degraded site (78.2 ± 7.17 spat m-2). Two years after first transplantation, the total recruit density was highest at healthy site (4.8 ± 0.4 recruits m-2), intermediate at transplanted site (2.7 ± 0.4 recruits m-2), and lowest at degraded site (1.7 ± 0.3 recruits m-2). The results suggest that large-scale coral restoration may have a positive influence on coral recruitment and juveniles. The effect of key project techniques on the results are discussed. This study supports the application of large-scale, science-based coral reef restoration projects with at least a 3-year time scale to assist the recovery of damaged reefs.","publicationDate":"2016-01-01","doi":"10.3897/natureconservation.16.8604","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.16.8604","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":[],"source_details":{"id":70,"name":"Nature Conservation","slug":"nature-conservation","issn_l":"1314-3301","openalex_id":"S2764730374","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S2764730374","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S2764730374","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://natureconservation.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/70/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/nature-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Montoya Maya","Phanor Hernando"],"keywords":["Reef recovery"],"topics":["Coral and Marine Ecosystems Studies","Marine and fisheries research","Marine and coastal plant biology"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2555083996","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.16.8604","mag":"2555083996","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W2555083996"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10670,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[19.08333,-31.31667]}]},"bbox":[19.08333,-31.31667,19.08333,-31.31667],"properties":{"title":"Does timing of breeding matter less where the grass is greener? Seasonal declines in breeding performance differ between regions in an endangered endemic raptor","type":"article","abstract":"The timing of breeding can strongly influence individual breeding performance and fitness. Seasonal declines in breeding parameters have been often documented in birds, particularly in the Northern Hemisphere. Fewer studies have investigated whether seasonal declines in productivity vary in space, which would have implications for a species’ population dynamics across its distributional range. We report here on variation in the timing of breeding in the Black Harrier (Circus maurus), an endangered and endemic raptor to Southern Africa. We investigated how key breeding parameters (clutch size, nesting success and productivity) varied with the timing of breeding, weather conditions (rainfall and temperature) and between contrasted regions (coastal vs. interior-mountain). Black Harrier onset of breeding extended over an 8-month period, with a peak of laying between mid-August and end of September. We show a marked seasonal decline in all breeding parameters. Importantly, for clutch size and productivity these seasonal declines differed regionally, being more pronounced in interior-mountain than in coastal regions, where the breeding season was overall shorter. Timing of breeding, clutch size and productivity were also partly explained by weather conditions. In coastal regions, where environmental conditions, in particular rainfall, appear to be less variable, the timing of breeding matters less for breeding output than in interior-mountain regions, and breeding attempts thus occurred over a longer period. The former areas may act as population sources and be key in protecting the long-term population viability of this threatened endemic raptor. This study provides unique evidence for a regionally variable seasonal decline in breeding performance with implications for population biology and conservation.","publicationDate":"2016-01-01","doi":"10.3897/natureconservation.15.9800","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.15.9800","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["ZA"],"source_details":{"id":70,"name":"Nature Conservation","slug":"nature-conservation","issn_l":"1314-3301","openalex_id":"S2764730374","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S2764730374","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S2764730374","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://natureconservation.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/70/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/nature-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Garcia-Heras","Marie-Sophie"],"keywords":["Black Harrier"],"topics":["Avian ecology and behavior","Species Distribution and Climate Change","Ecology and Vegetation Dynamics Studies"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2523295504","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.15.9800","mag":"2523295504","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W2523295504"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10666,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[13.2235,55.5595]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[13.5922,56.017]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[14.0016,55.7985]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[13.1913,56.0089]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[22.0709,65.775]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[21.4869,65.578]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[21.5372,65.8021]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[22.0342,65.5614]}]},"bbox":[13.1913,55.5595,22.0709,65.8021],"properties":{"title":"Butterfly monitoring using systematically placed transects in contrasting climatic regions – exploring an established spatial design for sampling","type":"article","abstract":"Butterfly monitoring schemes are recording programs initiated to monitor nationwide butterfly abundance and distribution patterns, often with help from volunteers. The method generates high-resolution data, but may be associated with a degree of habitat sampling bias if volunteers prefer to survey areas perceived to be high-quality butterfly habitats. This can result in habitats becoming underrepresented in the data set, leading to less information about the butterfly populations there. In the present study, we investigate the possibility of applying a spatial design used by the Swedish Bird Survey for nationwide, grid-based sampling, with a goal to get butterfly monitoring data covering a representative sample of different habitats. We surveyed four 2×2 km sampling squares, split into 100 m segments, in the southernmost region of Sweden (Scania) and four in the northernmost region (Norrbotten). The grid-based transects were compared with volunteer-selected transects in a GIS analysis using a refined Swedish version of CORINE land cover data to see how well these two transect designs represent true habitat coverage. A total of 53 km transect was monitored, resulting in 490 individuals and 29 different species recorded. We found that transect cover correlated significantly with overall land cover using both monitoring methods, though standardised transects outperformed volunteer-selected transects in habitat representation in Scania, but not in Norrbotten. Butterflies were found to aggregate significantly in specific habitats, but with contrasting results for the two geographically different regions. Grasslands in both regions generated a high number of recorded butterflies, although so did clear-cut and residential areas in Norrbotten as well. The highest number of individuals recorded per transect was found in bogs in Scania.

Only very few studies assessed the effect of fragmentation on morphological traits. The few available studies on anurans found that in landscapes with less forest cover body size decreased. Therefore, we predict that body size should also be smaller in fragments compared to continuous forest. Body condition is a further trait closely related to individual performance and thus should decline with more adverse conditions, as is expected in fragments. We tested these hypotheses using snout-vent length, body mass, body condition, and tibia length as response variables. We collected data of a habitat generalist (Rhinella ornata) and a habitat specialist (Ischnocnema guentheri), both leaf-litter amphibian species, from three sites in a fragmented landscape (two isolated and one connected site) and one site in a contiguous part of the Atlantic Forest of Southeast Brazil. In the generalist species, snout-vent-length (SVL) and body mass were significantly lower in fragments compared to the contiguous forest control, whereas tibia length and body condition did not differ among sites. In contrast, SVL, body mass, and tibia length of the specialist species did not differ among sites, but body condition was marginally different among sites, being relatively low in one but not the other isolated fragment.

Possums started investigating the bridge even before the installation was completed, and the first complete crossing was recorded only 36 days after the installation, which is remarkably sooner than arboreal species studied in other parts of Australia. The possums crossed the bridge increasingly over 270 days of monitoring at a much higher rate than we expected (8.87 ± 0.59 complete crossings per night). Possums crossed the bridge less on windy nights and warm nights probably due to the risk of being blown away and heat stress on warmer days. Crossings also decreased slightly on brighter nights probably due to the higher risk of predation. Breeding season did not influence the crossings. Pseudocheirus occidentalis habituated to the bridge very quickly, and our results demonstrate that rope bridges have a potential as an effective mitigation measure against the negative impacts of roads on this species. More studies and longer monitoring, as well as investigating whether crossing results in the restoration of gene flow are then needed in order to further assess the true conservation value of these crossing structures.","publicationDate":"2015-01-01","doi":"10.3897/natureconservation.11.4385","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.11.4385","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["AU"],"source_details":{"id":70,"name":"Nature Conservation","slug":"nature-conservation","issn_l":"1314-3301","openalex_id":"S2764730374","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S2764730374","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S2764730374","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://natureconservation.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/70/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/nature-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Yokochi","Kaori"],"keywords":["Road ecology"],"topics":["Wildlife-Road Interactions and Conservation","Wildlife Ecology and Conservation","Marine animal studies overview"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2163749613","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.11.4385","mag":"2163749613","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W2163749613"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10643,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-3.41667,56.93333]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-3.36667,56.95]}]},"bbox":[-3.41667,56.93333,-3.36667,56.95],"properties":{"title":"Food supplementation does not increase demographic rates in a passerine species of conservation concern","type":"article","abstract":"Numerous studies have examined the effects of the provision of supplementary food on aspects of avian reproductive success, but far fewer have gone on to examine the potential positive effects of food supplementation on the demographic rates which are key for population growth rate. Testing for potential effects of food shortage on vital rates is likely to be particularly important in species of high conservation concern, where populations are particularly small, isolated or decreasing rapidly. Here we test the effects of the provision of supplementary food on reproductive success, body condition at fledging and post-fledging survival of ring ouzels (Turdus torquatus), a species of high conservation concern in the UK. However, food supplementation had no detectable effect on any of these parameters. There was no significant difference in return rates of fed and unfed fledglings in the year following hatching, and most post-fledging mortality was apparently caused by predation by raptors and mustelids. We conclude that the supply of invertebrate food sources for nestlings was not a major limiting factor in our study area, at least during this two-year study. Further studies are required to quantify the precise mix of habitats used by ring ouzels, at the appropriate scale, which provide concealment from predators and access to food supplies throughout the spring and summer months.","publicationDate":"2015-01-01","doi":"10.3897/natureconservation.10.4556","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.10.4556","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["GB"],"source_details":{"id":70,"name":"Nature Conservation","slug":"nature-conservation","issn_l":"1314-3301","openalex_id":"S2764730374","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S2764730374","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S2764730374","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://natureconservation.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/70/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/nature-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Sim","Innes"],"keywords":["Food supplementation"],"topics":["Avian ecology and behavior","Wildlife Ecology and Conservation","Animal Behavior and Reproduction"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W277369831","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.10.4556","mag":"277369831","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W277369831"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10640,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[116.15,-29.93333]}]},"bbox":[116.15,-29.93333,116.15,-29.93333],"properties":{"title":"Nature conservation on agricultural land: a case study of the endangered Carnaby’s Cockatoo Calyptorhynchus latirostris breeding at Koobabbie in the northern wheatbelt of Western Australia","type":"article","abstract":"Nature conservation and agricultural production may be considered as conflicting objectives, but for a wheat and sheep property in Western Australia they have been pivotal management objectives for the last 48 years.

Since 1987 the owners of Koobabbie have kept detailed records of the avifauna of the property, and encouraged staff from government, non-government and academic organisations to conduct research and monitoring of the endangered Carnaby’s Cockatoo Calyptorhynchus latirostris breeding on their property. In addition, they have instituted control programs for two over-abundant cockatoo species which compete with Carnaby’s Cockatoo for nest sites, and for Feral Cats that are predators of nesting female Carnaby’s Cockatoo and their offspring. This paper presents the results of research and monitoring from 2003-2013, during which seven artificial nesting hollows were erected, and former active nest hollows that had become derelict were repaired. By 2008, the number of breeding pairs on the property was at least 27, but two mass deaths of breeding females in 2009 and 2012 reduced the number of breeding pairs by 80%.

The aim was to develop the 70 m high artificial hill into a recreational area with high biodiversity of flora and fauna. Forest humus was used as a source of organic matter, plant roots, seeds, soil fauna and microorganisms in order to enable rapid regeneration of diverse vegetation and soil biological functions. In this study we report the results of three years of monitoring of soil enzyme activity and plant species compositional patterns. Monthly soil samples were taken each year between June and September from four sites on the hill and from two standing reference forests using three replicate plots. Activities of 10 different enzymes, soil organic matter (SOM) content, moisture, pH and temperature of the surface layer were monitored. Abundances of vascular plant species were surveyed on the same four hill sites between late May and early September, three times a season in 2004 and 2005. Although the addition of organic soil considerably increased soil enzyme activities (per dw), the activities at the covered hill sites were far lower than in the reference forests. Temporal changes and differences between sites were analysed in more detail per soil organic matter (SOM) in order to reveal differences in the quality of SOM. All the sites had a characteristic enzyme activity pattern and two hill sites showed clear temporal changes. The enzyme activities in uncovered topsoil increased, whereas the activities at the covered Middle site decreased, when compared with other sites at the same time. The different trend between Middle and North sites in enzyme activities may reflect differences in humus material transferred to these sites, but difference in the succession of vegetation affects enzyme activities strongly. Middle yielded higher β-sitosterol content in 2004, as an indication of more intense plant impact. All reclaimed sites had characteristic plant species assemblages and parallel temporal changes, reflecting vegetation succession, occurred across all the sites. Rapid growth of vegetation on the covered sites restored the rhizosphere and contributed to the persistence of microbial activity. We suggest that transferring the surface soil humus layer is a useful approach for ensuring the outcome of habitat restoration and complementary habitat creation especially in situations where the source soil areas would otherwise be lost.","publicationDate":"2014-01-01","doi":"10.3897/natureconservation.8.6369","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.8.6369","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["FI"],"source_details":{"id":70,"name":"Nature Conservation","slug":"nature-conservation","issn_l":"1314-3301","openalex_id":"S2764730374","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S2764730374","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S2764730374","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://natureconservation.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/70/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/nature-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Niemi","Maarit"],"keywords":["landfill site"],"topics":["Ecology and Vegetation Dynamics Studies","Soil Carbon and Nitrogen Dynamics","Botany and Plant Ecology Studies"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2088540897","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.8.6369","mag":"2088540897","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W2088540897"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10628,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-31.11667,39.66667]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-28.8,38.58333]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-25.43333,37.7]}]},"bbox":[-31.11667,37.7,-25.43333,39.66667],"properties":{"title":"Estimating population size of a nocturnal burrow-nesting seabird using acoustic monitoring and habitat mapping","type":"article","abstract":"Population size assessments for nocturnal burrow-nesting seabirds are logistically challenging because these species are active in colonies only during darkness and often nest on remote islands where manual inspections of breeding burrows are not feasible. Many seabird species are highly vocal, and recent technological innovations now make it possible to record and quantify vocal activity in seabird colonies. Here we test the hypothesis that remotely recorded vocal activity in Cory’s shearwater (Calonectris borealis) breeding colonies in the North Atlantic increases with nest density, and combined this relationship with cliff habitat mapping to estimate the population size of Cory’s shearwaters on the island of Corvo (Azores). We deployed acoustic recording devices in 9 Cory’s shearwater colonies of known size to establish a relationship between vocal activity and local nest density (slope = 1.07, R2 = 0.86, p < 0.001). We used this relationship to predict the nest density in various cliff habitat types and produced a habitat map of breeding cliffs to extrapolate nest density around the island of Corvo. The mean predicted nest density on Corvo ranged from 6.6 (2.1–16.2) to 27.8 (19.5–36.4) nests/ha. Extrapolation of habitat-specific nest densities across the cliff area of Corvo resulted in an estimate of 6326 Cory’s shearwater nests (95% confidence interval: 3735–10,524). This population size estimate is similar to previous assessments, but is too imprecise to detect moderate changes in population size over time. While estimating absolute population size from acoustic recordings may not be sufficiently precise, the strong positive relationship that we found between local nest density and recorded calling rate indicates that passive acoustic monitoring may be useful to document relative changes in seabird populations over time.","publicationDate":"2014-01-01","doi":"10.3897/natureconservation.7.6890","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.7.6890","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["PT"],"source_details":{"id":70,"name":"Nature Conservation","slug":"nature-conservation","issn_l":"1314-3301","openalex_id":"S2764730374","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S2764730374","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S2764730374","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://natureconservation.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/70/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/nature-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Oppel","Steffen"],"keywords":["Cory’s shearwater"],"topics":["Animal Vocal Communication and Behavior","Avian ecology and behavior","Marine animal studies overview"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W1981445909","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.7.6890","mag":"1981445909","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W1981445909"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10621,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[4.75,50.5]}]},"bbox":[4.75,50.5,4.75,50.5],"properties":{"title":"Spatio-temporal patterns of wildlife-vehicle collisions in a region with a high-density road network","type":"article","abstract":"This paper is the first to report data on wildlife-vehicle collisions (WVC) in Wallonia, southern Belgium, characterised by one of the densest road network worldwide.

We observed that these accidents with free ranging animals result in 13% of cases in injuries for the drivers or passengers, and in less than 1% of cases in fatalities (death). 78% of these casualties involve wild animals, among which wild boar take the largest part (39% ). During the covered period we observed an annual increase of WVC of 21%. For wild boar and red deer, this increase was significantly correlated with hunting statistics, used as an index of population density. The temporal analysis demonstrated an increase of WVC during night time with peak of accidents at dusk and dawn. Monthly distribution revealed the role of breeding, dispersal and hunting in shaping temporal patterns of accidents. Spatial analysis, focusing on wild boar, roe deer, red deer and red fox demonstrated clustering of accidents for all these species, until scale between 20 to 70 km. Mapping of accidents via Kernel density analysis permitted us to highlight areas with high risk of WVC risk. Our study suggests that the problem of car accidents due to wildlife is an increasing concern in Wallonia but results on spatial and temporal patterns should help for setting up mitigation measures in the most sensible areas.

To ensure an ecologically sustainable transportation system it is essential to find agreement between nature conservation and land use. However, sustainable road planning requires adequate tools for assessment, prevention and mitigation of the impacts of infrastructure. In this study, we present a spatially explicit model, SAIA (Spatial Amphibian Impact Assessment), to be used as a standardized and quantitative tool for assessing the impact of roads on pond-breeding amphibians. The model considers a landscape mosaic of breeding habitat, summer habitat and uninhabitable land. As input, we use a GIS-map of the landscape with information on land cover as well as data on observed frog populations in the survey area. The dispersal of juvenile frogs is simulated by means of individual-based modelling, while a population-based model is used for simulating population dynamics. In combination the two types of models generate output on landscape connectivity and population viability. Analyses of maps without the planned road constructions will constitute a “null-model” against which other scenarios can be compared, making it possible to assess the effect of road projects on landscape connectivity and population dynamics. Analyses and comparisons of several alternative road projects can identify the least harmful solution. The effect of mitigation measures, such as new breeding ponds and underpasses, can be evaluated by incorporating them in the maps, thereby enhancing the utility of the model as a management tool in Environmental Impact Assessments. We demonstrate how SAIA can be used to assess which management measures would be best to mitigate the effect of landscape fragmentation caused by road constructions by means of a case study dedicated to the Moor frog (Rana arvalis).","publicationDate":"2013-01-01","doi":"10.3897/natureconservation.5.4612","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.5.4612","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["DK"],"source_details":{"id":70,"name":"Nature Conservation","slug":"nature-conservation","issn_l":"1314-3301","openalex_id":"S2764730374","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S2764730374","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S2764730374","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://natureconservation.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/70/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/nature-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Pontoppidan","Maj-Britt"],"keywords":["Rana arvalis"],"topics":["Wildlife-Road Interactions and Conservation","Amphibian and Reptile Biology","Wildlife Ecology and Conservation"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2107804376","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.5.4612","mag":"2107804376","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W2107804376"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10619,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[11.2975,55.669]}]},"bbox":[11.2975,55.669,11.2975,55.669],"properties":{"title":"Changes in behavioural responses to infrastructure affect local and regional connectivity – a simulation study on pond breeding amphibians","type":"article","abstract":"An extensive and expanding infrastructural network destroys and fragments natural habitat and has detrimental effect on abundance and population viability of many amphibian species.

We use an individual based model to explore how changes in road mortality and road avoidance behaviour affect local and regional connectivity in a population of Moor frogs (Rana arvalis). The results indicate that road mortality has a strong negative effect on regional connectivity, but only a small effect on local connectivity. Regional connectivity is positively affected by road avoidance and the effect becomes more pronounced as road mortality decreases. Road avoidance also has a positive effect on local connectivity. When road avoidance is total and the road functions as a 100% barrier regional connectivity is close to zero, while local connectivity exhibit very elevated values. The results suggest that roads may affect not only regional or metapopulation dynamics but also have a direct effect on local population dynamics.","publicationDate":"2013-01-01","doi":"10.3897/natureconservation.5.4611","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.5.4611","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["DK"],"source_details":{"id":70,"name":"Nature Conservation","slug":"nature-conservation","issn_l":"1314-3301","openalex_id":"S2764730374","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S2764730374","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S2764730374","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://natureconservation.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/70/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/nature-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Pontoppidan","Maj-Britt"],"keywords":["Rana arvalis"],"topics":["Wildlife-Road Interactions and Conservation","Animal Vocal Communication and Behavior","Amphibian and Reptile Biology"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W1986528573","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.5.4611","mag":"1986528573","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W1986528573"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10618,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[12.62975,43.75234]}]},"bbox":[12.62975,43.75234,12.62975,43.75234],"properties":{"title":"Are the nesting probabilities of the red-backed shrike related to proximity to roads?","type":"article","abstract":"Roads are a pervasive feature in the landscape, and their ecological effects on vertebrate wildlife have been well documented. The main types of effect described are mainly negative consequences on birds and other vertebrates. The major impact of roads on birds includes habitat fragmentation, traffic noise and direct mortality from road kills. However, some passerines, such as the Red-backed Shrike, seem to often use areas close to roads for nesting and hunting purposes.The aim of this paper is to study the importance of road proximity for the selection of suitable shrubs for nesting by the Red-backed Shrike in the farmland landscapes of central Italy. To achieve this goal, the hierarchical partitioning procedures of Generalized Linear Models (GLM) are applied in order to quantify the relative effects of a number of independent variables.At least 77% of the nests we identified were positioned less than 25 meters from roads. The mean distance from the nest to the nearest road was 12.9 ± 18.1 m. The analysis of the relative importance of each variable revealed that “road distance” is one of variables most associated with nesting probability in suitable shrubs. It is reasonable to argue that suitable shrubs and the presence of open spaces for hunting, both of which exist close to countryside roads, might represent the favourable components of the breeding habitat selections of Red-backed Shrikes. Our results can provide useful indications for census techniques and for the planning of conservation measures for the species in agricultural landscapes.","publicationDate":"2013-01-01","doi":"10.3897/natureconservation.5.4511","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.5.4511","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["IT"],"source_details":{"id":70,"name":"Nature Conservation","slug":"nature-conservation","issn_l":"1314-3301","openalex_id":"S2764730374","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S2764730374","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S2764730374","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://natureconservation.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/70/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/nature-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Morelli","Federico"],"keywords":["Road"],"topics":["Wildlife-Road Interactions and Conservation","Avian ecology and behavior","Animal Vocal Communication and Behavior"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W1964371736","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.5.4511","mag":"1964371736","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W1964371736"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10617,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-79.1886,43.7803]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-79.1852,43.8208]}]},"bbox":[-79.1886,43.7803,-79.1852,43.8208],"properties":{"title":"Investigation of fungal root colonizers of the invasive plant Vincetoxicum rossicum and co-occurring local native plants in a field and woodland area in Southern Ontario","type":"article","abstract":"Fungal communities forming associations with plant roots have generally been described as ranging from symbiotic to parasitic.

We examined how invasion by Vincetoxicum rossicum, a plant native to Europe, can alter both the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, as well as the general fungal communities associating with native plant roots in both field and woodland sites in Southern Ontario. In two different sites in the Greater Toronto Area, we took advantage of invasion by V. rossicum and neighbouring uninvaded sites to investigate the fungal communities associating with local plant roots, including goldenrod (Solidago spp.), wild red raspberry (Rubus idaeus), Canada anemone (Anemone canadensis), meadow rue (Thalictrum dioicum), and wild ginger (Asarum canadense). Fungi colonizing roots were characterized with terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) analysis of amplified total fungal (TF) and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (AMF) ribosomal fragments. We saw a significant effect of the presence of this invader on the diversity of TF phylotypes colonizing native plant roots, and a composition shift of both the TF and AMF community in native roots in both sites. In native communities invaded by V. rossicum, a significant increase in richness and colonization density of TF suggests that invaders such as V. rossicum may be able to influence the composition of soil fungi available to natives, possibly via mechanisms such as increased carbon provision or antibiosis attributable to unique root exudates.","publicationDate":"2013-01-01","doi":"10.3897/natureconservation.4.3578","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.4.3578","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["CA"],"source_details":{"id":70,"name":"Nature Conservation","slug":"nature-conservation","issn_l":"1314-3301","openalex_id":"S2764730374","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S2764730374","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S2764730374","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://natureconservation.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/70/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/nature-conservation/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-nature-conservation.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Bongard","Cindy"],"keywords":["Plant invasions"],"topics":["Mycorrhizal Fungi and Plant Interactions","Plant Parasitism and Resistance","Forest Ecology and Biodiversity Studies"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W1986013120","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/natureconservation.4.3578","mag":"1986013120","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W1986013120"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10594,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[93.2866,23.656]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[93.58619,22.68828]}]},"bbox":[93.2866,22.68828,93.58619,23.656],"properties":{"title":"A new species of fossorial snake of the genus Trachischium Günther, 1858, from the Indo–Burma biodiversity hotspot","type":"article","abstract":"A new species of fossorial natricine snake, Trachischium lalremsangai sp. nov., is described from the Indo-Burma biodiversity hotspot.

Tarentola mauritanica, a gecko introduced in Chile, lacks ecological data, complicating threat assessment. It is described as eating arthropods and lizards, and as a trophic subsidy for invasive mammals (e.g., cats) in its native range. Here, we evaluate diet and food availability between two seasons (spring and summer) and identify potential and effective predators in Santiago, Chile. The diet was analysed based on stomach contents, food availability from arthropod traps, and predator occurrence, using an integrative approach that combined faunal surveys, literature, citizen science, fieldwork, camera-traps, and faecal analysis. Tarentola mauritanica has an insectivorous diet that varies between the sampled seasons, consuming mainly Lepidoptera in spring and Coleoptera in summer, with no native lizard prey detected. A mismatch between diet dominance and environmental dominance was observed, which is consistent with some degree of selectivity. Twelve potential predators, primarily birds, were identified, and cats were confirmed as probable predators through the integrative approach. The gecko is mainly insectivorous, and seasonal selective foraging could affect arthropods, especially in urban areas with lower prey diversity and abundance. No native lizards were detected in its diet, but monitoring is advised due to its known saurophagous behavior. The data indicate that cats are probable predators; however, the highly localised scope and exploratory nature of the predator component warrants further evaluation. These findings enhance our understanding of community dynamics and the potential trophic impacts of T. mauritanica in Chile.","publicationDate":"2026-01-01","doi":"10.3897/herpetozoa.39.e183674","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.39.e183674","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["CL"],"source_details":{"id":69,"name":"Herpetozoa","slug":"herpetozoa","issn_l":"2682-955X","openalex_id":"S4210228833","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210228833","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210228833","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://herpetozoa.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/69/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/herpetozoa/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Reyes-Olivares","Claudio"],"keywords":["biodiversity loss"],"topics":["Amphibian and Reptile Biology","Animal Ecology and Behavior Studies","Wildlife Ecology and Conservation"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W7154583364","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.39.e183674","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W7154583364"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10587,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-81.685,8.4867]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-80.6509,8.7889]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-80.1229,8.5932]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-82.1988,8.3772]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-79.6594,9.0718]}]},"bbox":[-82.1988,8.3772,-79.6594,9.0718],"properties":{"title":"Morphology, ethology, new records, and ecological niche modeling for Hydromorphus and Tretanorhinus (Squamata, Colubridae) in Panama","type":"article","abstract":"The genera Hydromorphus and Tretanorhinus (Colubridae) comprise uncommon, poorly studied aquatic snakes, largely because of their nocturnal and aquatic habits.

We documented substantial range extensions, especially for H. dunni, with new records extending its known distribution by 228 km northeast to Donoso (Colón Province) and 273 km southeast to Altos de Campana National Park, representing the most distant records for the species to date. We report new localities in Darién Province for T. mocquardi and in Bocas del Toro Province for T. nigroluteus, collectively refining the known distribution of these aquatic snakes in Panama. We identified previously unreported variation in the arrangement and number of cephalic scales, particularly in H. dunni, strengthening the morphological basis for taxonomic diagnosis. We also provide an updated morphological dichotomous key. In addition, we contribute to knowledge of the trophic ecology of T. nigroluteus by documenting a direct case of necrophagy during captive feeding trials. Overall, this study provides new information on these taxa in Panama, improves their ecological characterization, and may support future conservation efforts.","publicationDate":"2026-01-01","doi":"10.3897/herpetozoa.39.e173419","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.39.e173419","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["PA"],"source_details":{"id":69,"name":"Herpetozoa","slug":"herpetozoa","issn_l":"2682-955X","openalex_id":"S4210228833","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210228833","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210228833","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://herpetozoa.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/69/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/herpetozoa/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Fuentes Magallón","Rogemif Daniel"],"keywords":["Colubridae"],"topics":["Amphibian and Reptile Biology","Species Distribution and Climate Change","Venomous Animal Envenomation and Studies"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W7154296400","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.39.e173419","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W7154296400"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10586,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[105.36,26.73]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[107.18,28.2]}]},"bbox":[105.36,26.73,107.18,28.2],"properties":{"title":"Advertisement calls of Boulenophrys daxuemontis Liu, Li, Cheng, Wei, Wang & Cheng, 2025 (Anura, Megophryidae) from a new distribution record in Nayong County, Guizhou Province","type":"article","abstract":"Our study reports a new distribution record for the recently described species Boulenophrys daxuemontis in Nayong County, Guizhou Province, expanding its known range. Furthermore, we provide the first systematic description and quantification of its advertisement call characteristics. Its advertisement call consists of a series of repeated pulsative calls, with a mean call duration of 144.91 ± 24.55 ms and a mean dominant frequency of 3.56 ± 0.12 kHz. Additionally, a detailed quantitative comparison was conducted between its advertisement calls and those of its sister species, Boulenophrys jiangi. Principal component analysis revealed that parameters such as pulse rate, number of pulses per call, and dominant frequency separated the two species in call space, effectively distinguishing these morphologically similar sister species. These unique acoustic features provide evidence supporting the taxonomic status of B. daxuemontis. While our sample size is limited, these findings provide foundational data for future study. Our study not only enriches the fundamental biological database for the genus Boulenophrys but also offers important reference data for biodiversity assessment, conservation, and acoustic identification of cryptic amphibian species in the region.","publicationDate":"2026-01-01","doi":"10.3897/herpetozoa.39.e187284","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.39.e187284","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["CN"],"source_details":{"id":69,"name":"Herpetozoa","slug":"herpetozoa","issn_l":"2682-955X","openalex_id":"S4210228833","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210228833","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210228833","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://herpetozoa.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/69/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/herpetozoa/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Shen","Tuo"],"keywords":["аcoustic comparison"],"topics":["Amphibian and Reptile Biology","Animal Vocal Communication and Behavior","Animal Behavior and Reproduction"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W7151811235","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.39.e187284","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W7151811235"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10585,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-96.352,17.6264]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-96.3654,17.6236]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-96.3656,17.6229]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-96.3691,17.6133]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-96.5468,17.6801]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-96.3424,17.6321]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-96.3675,17.6285]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-96.05,17.21667]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-96.7519,17.617]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-96.7576,17.6183]}]},"bbox":[-96.7576,17.21667,-96.05,17.6801],"properties":{"title":"A new treefrog of the genus Charadrahyla (Anura, Hylidae) from Oaxaca, Mexico, with comments on the conservation status and distribution of related species","type":"article","abstract":"We describe a new species of Charadrahyla from the Sierra Juárez portion of the Sierra Madre Oriental in the state of Oaxaca, Mexico, and provide morphological and molecular data to support the novelty of this species.

Among these, the critically endangered species, Manouria emys (according to the IUCN Red List) is a species of high conservation concern. The individual-based rarefaction and extrapolation sampling curves were approaching completeness, which indicates that only a few additional species could be discovered if further sampling is conducted. A species-habitat network analysis revealed variations in species composition across different habitat types. Notably, secondary forest exhibited higher herpetofaunal diversity compared to agricultural areas. Overall, the herpetofaunal diversity in Bukit Maras is relatively diverse but the observed disparity in herpetofaunal diversity between the secondary forest and agricultural areas highlights the vulnerability of forest-dependent species to habitat conversion. This suggests a significant decline in overall species richness and potential biotic homogenisation if Bukit Maras is entirely converted to agriculture.","publicationDate":"2026-01-01","doi":"10.3897/herpetozoa.39.e122775","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.39.e122775","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["MY"],"source_details":{"id":69,"name":"Herpetozoa","slug":"herpetozoa","issn_l":"2682-955X","openalex_id":"S4210228833","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210228833","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210228833","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://herpetozoa.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/69/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/herpetozoa/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Syafiq","Muhamad Fatihah"],"keywords":["agricultural area"],"topics":["Amphibian and Reptile Biology","Animal and Plant Science Education","Wildlife-Road Interactions and Conservation"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W7130310865","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.39.e122775","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W7130310865"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10579,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[108.08,26.39]}]},"bbox":[108.08,26.39,108.08,26.39],"properties":{"title":"A bird-like vocalization in a treefrog (Anura, Rhacophoridae): Analysis of advertisement call characteristics in Gracixalus weii","type":"article","abstract":"The genus Gracixalus is a group of small and medium-sized rhacophorid frogs for which many new species have been described recently, yet little is known about their biology. Gracixalus weii is a species recently described in Guizhou Province, China, whose acoustic characterization was lacking. The advertisement call has a central role in the reproduction of frogs. We present the first detailed acoustic description for G. weii based on recordings from six individuals obtained at the type locality, Leigongshan Nature Reserve. We collected and analyzed 182 calls, and classified them into two different types (Type A and Type B) based on their call structure and note composition. Type A calls (33 calls from two males) consist of an introductory note followed by two click notes, with a mean total duration of 726.59 ± 119.11 ms and a dominant frequency of 2.46 ± 0.10 kHz. Type B calls (149 calls from all six males) comprise an introductory note and a single click note, mean 481.07 ± 77.03 ms in call duration, with a mean dominant frequency of 2.58 ± 0.15 kHz. Both call types exhibit broad frequency ranges (2.0–21.0 kHz). Among individuals possessing both type A and type B calls, type A calls account for 41.9%–69.0% of the vocalizations, while type B calls comprise 31.0%–58.1%. We found that the type A advertisement call of G. weii is similar to the song structure of the thrush Turdus dissimilis. The complex spectral structure may suggest a case of evolutionary convergence between certain anurans and birds in the use of acoustic signals. The advertisement calls of G. weii are notably distinct from those of other known Gracixalus species. These differences provide acoustic evidence supporting the species taxonomic validity. Our findings underscore the value of bioacoustic data in species identification and contribute basic information for future study on the behavior, ecology, and diversity of the understudied Gracixalus genus.","publicationDate":"2026-01-01","doi":"10.3897/herpetozoa.39.e175324","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.39.e175324","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["CN"],"source_details":{"id":69,"name":"Herpetozoa","slug":"herpetozoa","issn_l":"2682-955X","openalex_id":"S4210228833","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210228833","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210228833","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://herpetozoa.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/69/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/herpetozoa/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Peng","Caichun"],"keywords":["bioacoustics"],"topics":["Amphibian and Reptile Biology","Animal Behavior and Reproduction","Animal and Plant Science Education"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W7124267910","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.39.e175324","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W7124267910"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10577,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[49.47593,27.32728]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[49.59898,27.14411]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[49.731,25.44401]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[50.32359,25.56146]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[50.00933,26.54696]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[49.89842,27.3688]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[49.82521,27.71744]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[50.06378,26.58253]}]},"bbox":[49.47593,25.44401,50.32359,27.71744],"properties":{"title":"Reptiles and amphibians of the Saudi islands in the Arabian Gulf","type":"article","abstract":"The herpetofauna of nine Saudi Arabian islands in the Arabian Gulf was studied.

The new species is distributed in the northern Eastern Ghats range of Odisha, inhabiting moist and dry deciduous forests and rock boulders and occasionally entering human habitations.","publicationDate":"2025-01-01","doi":"10.3897/herpetozoa.38.e175753","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.38.e175753","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["IN"],"source_details":{"id":69,"name":"Herpetozoa","slug":"herpetozoa","issn_l":"2682-955X","openalex_id":"S4210228833","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210228833","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210228833","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://herpetozoa.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/69/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/herpetozoa/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Mohapatra","Pratyush P."],"keywords":["Deccan Peninsula"],"topics":["Amphibian and Reptile Biology","Venomous Animal Envenomation and Studies","Animal Behavior and Reproduction"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4416863021","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.38.e175753","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4416863021"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10575,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[19.23539,47.70703]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[9.35083,46.12619]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[16.23031,48.34236]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[15.57392,46.57676]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[14.40069,48.02599]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[17.82006,44.60067]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[17.79,48.421]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[17.274,48.306]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[18.68934,46.35328]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[20.00867,47.79642]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[19.2317,47.70983]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[18.60279,46.45307]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[19.23046,47.70897]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[19.2306,47.70773]}]},"bbox":[9.35083,44.60067,20.00867,48.421],"properties":{"title":"First records of albino Aesculapian snakes (Zamenis longissimus) in Hungary","type":"article","abstract":"Body color abnormalities can significantly affect reptile fitness, as coloration plays a key role in ecological interactions such as mate selection, predator avoidance, and protection from environmental factors.

The new species is distinguished from its congeners by the combination of the following morphological characters: parotoid elongate, narrow, and sharply raised; warts on flanks less elevated than those of dorsum; cranial crests not thickened behind eyes; lores vertical; tympanum distinct, its diameter slightly exceeding two-thirds of eye length; tibia short; first finger longer than second; tip of third toe not reaching median subarticular tubercle of fourth toe; subarticular tubercles not enlarged; tarsal spine bases small; nuptial pads present; venter with low warts; ground color of flanks and dorsum light brown; dark brown stripes along the midline of the back; cranial ridges well-developed, bright orange. Phylogenetic analysis of the mtDNA fragment, including the 12S rRNA, 16S rRNA, and ND1 gene sequences (up to 4,479 bp), confirms the placement of the new species as a sister of Ingerophrynus parvus s. str. (p-distance 5.37%). The genetic distinctiveness of Ingerophrynus сhrysolophus sp. nov. and I. parvus s. str. is further confirmed by not sharing haplotypes of three nuclear genes (POMC, BDNF, and RAG1). Bioacoustic analysis revealed stable differences between the male advertisement calls of the two species. Furthermore, ecological modeling shows that the new species is allopatric with respect to I. parvus s. str.; their ranges are likely separated by a biogeographical boundary of the Kangar-Pattani Line. The new species is currently known from low- to mid-elevations (ca. 65–1,000 m a.s.l.) in tropical forests of southern and western Thailand, southern Myanmar, and southwest Cambodia. We suggest the new species be considered Least Concern (LC) according to the IUCN Red List criteria.

The thermoregulation of small reptiles involves a regulatory process that depends on morphophysiological and behavioural adjustments, along with environmental thermal characteristics, to maintain as close as possible to their optimum temperature. In this study, we evaluated the thermoregulation capacity of Phyllodactylus gerrhopygus, a relatively small and crepuscular-nocturnal gecko. Specifically, the aims of the present work were: 1) to determine if this species behaves as a thermoregulator or thermoconformer species, 2) to examine if the preferred body temperatures (Tpref) vary during the hours of potential thermoregulation and 3) if there are differences in daily patterns of Tpref and thermoregulation between juveniles and adults. In the field, we recorded the Tb of geckos and the substrate (Ts) and air (Ta) temperatures from their refuges. In the laboratory, we evaluated Tpref by recording the temperature geckos selected in a thermal gradient at different times of the day. We found a positive association between Tb and Ts. The positive correlation between Tb and refuge temperature suggests that P. gerrhopygus is a thigmothermic and thermoconformer species.

Snake pheromones reported so far are complex mixtures, consisting mainly of heavy, long-chained ketones. However, such ketones cannot be detected in the sex pheromones of some species, and for others, airborne compounds are suggested to participate in intersexual communication. Thus, to establish whether a certain compound is part of the snake sex pheromone, behavioral assays should be performed. The most frequently found ketones in the skin extracts of Vipera ammodytes (Linnaeus, 1758) are 2-pentacosanone and 2-heptacosanone, which are hypothesized to participate in intraspecific communication. In the present study, we test male and female individuals’ responses to paper towels soaked with these two ketones (separately and together), n-hexane, heptacosane, and a control. We suggest that the ketones produced by V. ammodytes have a role in intraspecific communication and demonstrate that they elicit specific courtship-related behaviors in males, but not in females. Our results further show that 2-pentacosanone and 2-heptacosanone evoke sexual attraction, with their combination proving more effective than either compound alone, although the modest response suggests that other compounds may also be involved. We suggest that there are additional compounds, of a different nature, that most likely constitute the female sex pheromone. We hypothesize that males can also produce these ketones, which may provide them with a mating advantage by emitting false cues to rivals.","publicationDate":"2025-01-01","doi":"10.3897/herpetozoa.38.e151358","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.38.e151358","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["BG"],"source_details":{"id":69,"name":"Herpetozoa","slug":"herpetozoa","issn_l":"2682-955X","openalex_id":"S4210228833","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210228833","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210228833","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://herpetozoa.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/69/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/herpetozoa/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Andonov","Kostadin"],"keywords":["communication"],"topics":["Amphibian and Reptile Biology","Animal Behavior and Reproduction","Insect and Arachnid Ecology and Behavior"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4412912969","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.38.e151358","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4412912969"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10551,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[104.8803,26.1638]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[104.88008,26.16343]}]},"bbox":[104.88008,26.16343,104.8803,26.1638],"properties":{"title":"A new species of the genus Boulenophrys (Anura, Megophryidae) from Guizhou, China","type":"article","abstract":"Based on morphological and molecular phylogenetic analyses, a new species of the genus Boulenophrys is described from Yezhong Nature Reserve, Shuicheng County, Guizhou Province, China.

Understanding how sympatric lizard species manage their thermal preferences is essential for predicting their responses to changing climate. We studied thermo-ecological parameters in two lizard species, Lacerta viridis and L. trilineata that occur under syntopy in SW Bulgaria. We recorded in situ body, air and substrate temperatures, humidity and UV radiation for 190 individuals. Both species maintained body temperatures higher than air and substrate temperature. Comparison of the two species showed statistically significant differences between them in terms of body and substrate temperature, with a trend towards higher values in L. viridis. For L. trilineata, statistically significant differences were found only between immatures and females in terms of substrate temperature (higher values in females). For L. viridis, there were significant differences between immatures and males in each of the temperature parameters (with a trend for higher values in males) as well as between immatures and females in air temperature (higher values in females).

The population was likely introduced via the horticultural trade from the western Balkans. It was identified at a horticultural site specializing in the sale of Mediterranean plants from Albania, with individuals of all age stages documented since its initial observation in 2020. Mitochondrial DNA analysis revealed distinct haplotypes that closely cluster with those from northern Albania, indicating clear genetic differentiation from native Slovak populations. This finding was further supported by a species distribution model, which suggested that the Danubian Lowland does not offer a suitable environment for the presence and reproduction of native Slovakian populations. In contrast, a spatial similarity model found environmental similarities between the Danubian Lowland and parts of the western Balkans (northern Albanian lowlands and southern Montenegro). This introduction highlights the role of international trade in facilitating the spread of non-native species, posing potential risks such as hybridization with local populations. With a warming climate, conditions may increasingly favour the establishment of such introduced populations. Thus, regular monitoring is essential to evaluate the implications of these findings for conservation and to safeguard native genetic diversity.","publicationDate":"2025-01-01","doi":"10.3897/herpetozoa.38.e139307","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.38.e139307","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["SK"],"source_details":{"id":69,"name":"Herpetozoa","slug":"herpetozoa","issn_l":"2682-955X","openalex_id":"S4210228833","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210228833","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210228833","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://herpetozoa.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/69/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/herpetozoa/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Jablonski","Daniel"],"keywords":["Albania"],"topics":["Entomological Studies and Ecology","Species Distribution and Climate Change","Insect and Arachnid Ecology and Behavior"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4410496164","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.38.e139307","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4410496164"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10548,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[24.3731,37.68372]}]},"bbox":[24.3731,37.68372,24.3731,37.68372],"properties":{"title":"Revisiting Spanopoula islet: Podarcis erhardii (Bedriaga, 1886) population thriving 45 years after first recorded","type":"article","abstract":"The Erhard’s wall lizard Podarcis erhardii (Bedriaga, 1886) was first recorded on the tiny rocky islet of Spanopoula, near Kea (Aegean Archipelago, Greece), in 1980.

Our findings revealed that immobility (0 m) was the most frequently observed behavior among individuals. Excluding instances of immobility, individuals’ movement ability was 32.1 ± 51.0 m (N = 131, range: 0.1–360.9 m). Home range size, estimated using the minimum convex polygon (MCP) method, was 2,484.0 ± 4,461.0 m² (N = 24, range: 40.7–20,644.9 m²), representing the general movement area of B. gargarizans.

Regardless of the analysis method or sex, over 50% of habitats consisted of grass, while approximately 20% was used areas. Although no significant differences in movement patterns or home range size were observed between sexes, males were primarily distributed at lower altitudes near breeding sites, whereas females were distributed at higher altitudes around valley areas.

Although some regions in the country have a presumptive high risk of road mortality, there is no certain data from all regions. In 2021 and 2024, we analyzed this species’ road mortality at its northern distribution range limit (lower Olt River valley, southern Romania). We identified 66 road-killed D. caspius over the course of eight days. Most victims (62.12%) were juveniles. The high number of road-killed juveniles is a consequence of the road`s features, which crosses many small human settlements (villages) and has numerous curves and speed enforcement cameras; therefore, the speed is reduced to 50 km/h. Consequently, the small-sized road-killed juveniles were easier to observe, as compared to roads of higher speeds, where they can be easily missed. The high number of juveniles indicates that in the region there are large populations that reproduce, as they are probably favored by climate warming. Although the absolute number of road-killed juveniles was higher at the end of summer and autumn, the ratio of juveniles and adults was the same in spring. The differences in road mortality on different days, even of the same month, indicate the importance of local microclimate conditions for the activity and road mortality of D. caspius. The lower Olt River valley region has a high risk of road mortality for this species, as it shows the scale of this phenomenon by highlighting the impact on juveniles.","publicationDate":"2025-01-01","doi":"10.3897/herpetozoa.38.e145691","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.38.e145691","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["RO"],"source_details":{"id":69,"name":"Herpetozoa","slug":"herpetozoa","issn_l":"2682-955X","openalex_id":"S4210228833","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210228833","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210228833","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://herpetozoa.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/69/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/herpetozoa/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Covaciu-Marcov","Severus-Daniel"],"keywords":["age"],"topics":["Wildlife-Road Interactions and Conservation","Forest Insect Ecology and Management","Forest Biomass Utilization and Management"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4408504984","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.38.e145691","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4408504984"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10542,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[102.43,18.9]}]},"bbox":[102.43,18.9,102.43,18.9],"properties":{"title":"A new endemic karst-associated species of lance-headed pit viper (Squamata, Viperidae, Protobothrops) from Laos","type":"article","abstract":"We describe a new species of lance-headed pit viper from north-western Laos, based on morphological and molecular (6092 bp from cyt b, ND4, COI, 12S rRNA and 16S rRNA mitochondrial DNA genes and c-mos and RAG1 nuclear DNA genes) lines of evidence.

Atelopus ignescens, also known as jambato, was previously considered to be an extinct species until it was rediscovered in the Andean locality of Angamarca, Ecuador. This study presents and describes the calls of Atelopus ignescens for the first time. These are low intensity sounds that comprise a repertoire of three distinct call types: tonal, short and pulsed call. They have different spectral and temporal characteristics. The most notable difference in their structure is the presence or absence of pulses and the frequency modulation observed in tonal calls. In terms of spectral characteristics, the mean dominant frequency is 1.7 kHz, with up to 11 harmonics visible. A peculiar feature of the Jambato is the absence of a tympanic middle ear, a characteristic observed in the majority of Atelopus species. The absence of these structures, however, does not mean that harlequin toads are deaf since they seem to have extratympanic mechanisms of audition. It is our hope that our contribution will stimulate further research into the bioacoustics and behavior of this endangered and relatively unknown group of anurans.","publicationDate":"2024-01-01","doi":"10.3897/herpetozoa.37.e134923","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.37.e134923","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["EC"],"source_details":{"id":69,"name":"Herpetozoa","slug":"herpetozoa","issn_l":"2682-955X","openalex_id":"S4210228833","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210228833","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210228833","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://herpetozoa.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/69/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/herpetozoa/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Batallas","Diego"],"keywords":["acoustic communication"],"topics":["Animal Behavior and Reproduction","Amphibian and Reptile Biology","Animal Vocal Communication and Behavior"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4405536562","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.37.e134923","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4405536562"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10534,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[107.41933,11.41062]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[107.419,11.411]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[108.414,14.543]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[107.41312,11.44121]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[107.38673,11.44576]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[107.42644,11.4195]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[105.69528,17.54453]}]},"bbox":[105.69528,11.41062,108.414,17.54453],"properties":{"title":"Phylogeographic pattern and taxonomic revision of the Kaloula baleata species complex (Amphibia, Anura, Microhylidae) with description of two new species from Indochina","type":"article","abstract":"Despite increased attention by molecular taxonomists, the herpetofauna of Southeast Asia still hides many undescribed species among far-ranging taxa. In this study, we re-examine the mitochondrial diversity of painted frogs of the microhylid genus Kaloula, based on ~2,455 bp of published and new 12S and 16S rRNA sequences, and describe two new species from the tropical forests of southern Vietnam and central Laos based on integrative evidence. These species, which belong to the K. baleata complex, feature species-level mitochondrial divergence (> 4.4% at 16S rRNA) and are both morphologically well-differentiated from each other and from the recently described K. indochinensis, to which they were previously confounded. Comparative examinations also indicate distinct male advertisement calls and unique coloration features. Based on genetic barcoding, we preliminarily revise the species distribution ranges in the K. baleata complex, which support a general pattern of biogeographic partitioning that has been widely retrieved among the Indochinese amphibians studied so far. Molecular diversity within K. baleata further suggests genetic structure across Sundaland, namely three shallow mitochondrial haplogroups worthy of fine-scale phylogeographic and taxonomic investigations. Furthermore, our study highlights the propensity of amphibian species “hidden in plain sight,” even among recently studied taxa, thus calling for caution when specifying type specimens—the type series of K. indochinensis, described in 2013, includes specimens of the one of the new species. Our study emphasizes the continued need for thorough herpetological surveys even in supposedly well-known parts of Indochina and sets the ground for future research in Kaloula painted frogs, notably to test evolutionary and taxonomic hypotheses with genomic loci.","publicationDate":"2024-01-01","doi":"10.3897/herpetozoa.37.e137394","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.37.e137394","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["LA","VN"],"source_details":{"id":69,"name":"Herpetozoa","slug":"herpetozoa","issn_l":"2682-955X","openalex_id":"S4210228833","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210228833","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210228833","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://herpetozoa.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/69/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/herpetozoa/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Gorin","Vladislav"],"keywords":["16S rRNA"],"topics":["Amphibian and Reptile Biology","Genomics and Phylogenetic Studies","Genetic diversity and population structure"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4405289946","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.37.e137394","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4405289946"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10533,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[109.289,12.198]}]},"bbox":[109.289,12.198,109.289,12.198],"properties":{"title":"A new endemic insular species of the genus Colubroelaps (Squamata, Serpentes, Colubroidea) from Khanh Hoa Province, Vietnam","type":"article","abstract":"A new species of the poorly known genus Colubroelaps Orlov, Kharin, Ananjeva, Nguyen & Nguyen, 2009, is described based on a single female specimen collected from Hon Tre Island, Khanh Hoa Province, Vietnam.

The new species is under threat due to the intensifying development of tourist infrastructure on Hon Tre Island. We suggest that the new species be considered Endangered (EN) following the IUCN’s Red List categories.","publicationDate":"2024-01-01","doi":"10.3897/herpetozoa.37.e137809","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.37.e137809","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["VN"],"source_details":{"id":69,"name":"Herpetozoa","slug":"herpetozoa","issn_l":"2682-955X","openalex_id":"S4210228833","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210228833","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210228833","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://herpetozoa.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/69/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/herpetozoa/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Poyarkov","Nikolay"],"keywords":["Colubroelaps adleri sp. nov."],"topics":["Amphibian and Reptile Biology","Lepidoptera: Biology and Taxonomy","Spider Taxonomy and Behavior Studies"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4404994883","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.37.e137809","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4404994883"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10532,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[107.63,25.94]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[108.28,25.57]}]},"bbox":[107.63,25.57,108.28,25.94],"properties":{"title":"The advertisement call of Leptobrachella dushanensis (Anura, Megophryidae)","type":"article","abstract":"We describe the advertisement call of the Dushan Leaf Litter Toad, Leptobrachella dushanensis, based on recordings obtained from three individuals from its type locality.

By now, many of these peatlands are part of the Natura 2000 network and therefore gradually undergo restoration measures, which aim to rewet the peatlands. For this, the ditches are blocked with wooden dams, leading to a water runback, which in turn fills the ditches and peat pools. Such artificial water bodies generally depict secondary habitats for many species. Here, we investigated the amphibian fauna in four restored peatlands in the Waldviertel region and measured abiotic factors of the aquatic habitats to answer the question whether blocked ditches and peat pools are valuable secondary habitats for amphibians. We characterized the microhabitats of amphibians based on various structures and vegetation. Additionally, this study provides a basic assessment of reptile species in the investigated peatlands. During our assessment, we observed 1520 individuals of eight amphibian species, 64 individuals of four reptile species, and characterized 12 different microhabitats. Despite the low pH values of 3.2–4.2, four amphibian species and amphibian spawn were detected in Schwarzes Moos. Our results indicate that peat pools, drainage ditches, and open moorlands are potential habitats for amphibians and reptiles, making their conservation and management an important factor in the protection of amphibian and reptile species.","publicationDate":"2024-01-01","doi":"10.3897/herpetozoa.37.e130028","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.37.e130028","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["AT"],"source_details":{"id":69,"name":"Herpetozoa","slug":"herpetozoa","issn_l":"2682-955X","openalex_id":"S4210228833","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210228833","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210228833","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://herpetozoa.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/69/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/herpetozoa/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Stückler","Susanne"],"keywords":["acid tolerance"],"topics":["Peatlands and Wetlands Ecology","Ecology and biodiversity studies","Coastal wetland ecosystem dynamics"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4404241721","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.37.e130028","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4404241721"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10529,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[24.88917,37.38611]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[24.92167,37.44528]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[24.87667,37.41361]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[24.92028,37.41056]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[24.91833,37.49]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[24.91694,37.49639]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[24.89694,37.46861]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[24.87777,37.42083]}]},"bbox":[24.87667,37.38611,24.92167,37.49639],"properties":{"title":"Update on the herpetofauna of Syros (Cyclades, Greece) and current land-use and climate change threats","type":"article","abstract":"The current knowledge on the herpetofauna of Syros is updated, whereby no publications on it have been made since 1975.

Further research on the interactions between the two species is urgently required, as it has direct conservation implications.","publicationDate":"2024-01-01","doi":"10.3897/herpetozoa.37.e132815","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.37.e132815","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["GR"],"source_details":{"id":69,"name":"Herpetozoa","slug":"herpetozoa","issn_l":"2682-955X","openalex_id":"S4210228833","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210228833","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210228833","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://herpetozoa.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/69/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/herpetozoa/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Χριστόπουλος","Απόστολος"],"keywords":["Aegean Sea"],"topics":["Fish Biology and Ecology Studies","Fish Ecology and Management Studies","Aquatic Invertebrate Ecology and Behavior"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4403220636","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.37.e132815","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4403220636"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10522,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[14.3772,50.1472]}]},"bbox":[14.3772,50.1472,14.3772,50.1472],"properties":{"title":"Microhabitat preferences in the European green lizard (Lacerta viridis): implications for conservation management of isolated populations","type":"article","abstract":"The European green lizard (Lacerta viridis) populations in Bohemia, Czech Republic, are isolated by more than 150 km from the northern border of the continuous range of the species. These populations are fragmented and further isolated from each other. In this landscape mosaic, they are tied to specific habitats located in deeply incised river valleys (the so-called river phenomenon) and thus may be viewed as stenotopic. The research site is located on the northern edge of the city of Prague. Since 1998, this site has been the subject of long-term conservation management aimed at strengthening and maintaining the abundance of the local L. viridis population. To formulate recommendations for the management of other isolated L. viridis populations, we performed a spatial analysis of the localities with observed individuals to determine and evaluate the significance of the chosen biotic and abiotic factors for habitat discrimination. We applied principal components and discriminant function analyses and examined the effect of 24 variables on the species’ presence. The results revealed the principal role of the presence of rock debris and hiding places for lizard occurrence. The strongest negative predictors were the presence of tall grass and high vegetation coverage. We discuss the applicability of our findings in both the theory and practice of species conservation and population management.","publicationDate":"2024-01-01","doi":"10.3897/herpetozoa.37.e120806","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.37.e120806","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["CZ"],"source_details":{"id":69,"name":"Herpetozoa","slug":"herpetozoa","issn_l":"2682-955X","openalex_id":"S4210228833","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210228833","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210228833","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://herpetozoa.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/69/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/herpetozoa/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Chmelař","Jan"],"keywords":["climate change"],"topics":["Species Distribution and Climate Change","Amphibian and Reptile Biology","Animal and Plant Science Education"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4403185185","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.37.e120806","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4403185185"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10521,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-9.7178,31.4417]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-9.7683,31.4934]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-9.1916,32.603]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-6.5619,34.2044]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-6.1209,35.1659]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-5.2044,35.0225]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-5.195,35.0626]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-5.0279,33.9447]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-5.0226,33.6521]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-5.1082,33.4085]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-5.103,33.4056]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-4.9034,33.6218]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-5.0638,33.159]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-5.0277,33.1124]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-5.4669,31.8018]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-5.5497,32.2164]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-5.6429,32.1964]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-5.4879,31.9697]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-7.3814,31.2908]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-7.5935,30.788]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-3.7186,32.5694]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-3.0323,33.8653]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-3.0387,33.8724]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[1.2631,35.293]}]},"bbox":[-9.7683,30.788,1.2631,35.293],"properties":{"title":"New data on the diversity and distribution of lineages of the Acanthodactylus erythrurus species complex in North Africa derived from mitochondrial DNA markers","type":"article","abstract":"Patterns of morphological and genetic diversity within the fringe-toed lizards of the genus Acanthodactylus have puzzled systematists since the first assessments, and none more so than the Acanthodactylus erythrurus complex.

However, despite numerous early efforts, its herpetofauna is only partially described, resulting in many distributional gaps that have prevented adequate understanding and management of the resident species communities. We review one century of bibliography from the Northern Sporades and combine this information with a review of museum specimens and insights from numerous extensive field surveys over the last near-decade to provide for the first time a comprehensive picture of the reptiles and amphibians of the archipelago. We report here on 26 new island records and find that the herptile communities of the region are largely derived from the herpetofauna of the nearby Thessaly mainland, with only a few introduced taxa. There is also a small but significant set of endemic taxa in the archipelago. Island species richness declines with decreasing island size and increasing duration of island isolation. Herptile communities on smaller islands are progressively nested subsets of the communities on larger islands. The presence of reptile species depends sensitively on the condition and management of native ecosystems. While non-aquatic species maintain largely healthy populations, most populations are under pressure from the combined effects of rampant tourist development, the destruction and degradation of rare wetland habitats, and the abandonment of traditional agricultural landscapes. We provide recommendations regarding sustainable management of the local reptile and amphibian populations.","publicationDate":"2024-01-01","doi":"10.3897/herpetozoa.37.e125965","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.37.e125965","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["GR"],"source_details":{"id":69,"name":"Herpetozoa","slug":"herpetozoa","issn_l":"2682-955X","openalex_id":"S4210228833","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210228833","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210228833","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://herpetozoa.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/69/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/herpetozoa/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Foufopoulos","Johannes"],"keywords":["Amphibia"],"topics":["Amphibian and Reptile Biology","Genetic diversity and population structure","Species Distribution and Climate Change"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4401186590","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.37.e125965","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4401186590"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10516,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[24.32167,39.34833]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[24.31987,39.33905]}]},"bbox":[24.31987,39.33905,24.32167,39.34833],"properties":{"title":"First record of Hemidactylus turcicus (Linnaeus, 1758) from Piperi Island, Northern Sporades, Greece","type":"article","abstract":"New records of species distribution help advance our understanding of species biogeographical dynamics and, potentially, local adaptations.

Due to its aposematic coloration and behavior, it is a species that may present chemical defenses such as alkaloids and a restricted diet similar to other species of the genus. Although it was described in the early 20th century, there is still little information on its natural history and ecology. Here, we described the diet, tested the sexual dimorphism, and calculated the fertility index of M. fulvoguttatus based on a sample of eight males and 21 females from a population within the Cerrado. Sexual dimorphism was assessed using 15 morphometric measures; diet was calculated as an index of relative importance by prey item and tested for sex differences; fertility was tested for relations between body size and the number of eggs; and we also estimated the reproductive investment. Our results demonstrate that this population’s diet consisted mostly of ant species, with Pheidole radoszkowskii being the most important, followed by Crematogaster sp. and Cyphomyrmex transversus. Regarding sexual dimorphism, we observed that females were significantly larger than males, with a positive relationship between female size and the number of eggs. We did not find significant differences in the diets of males and females. Although the diet and reproductive aspects of M. fulvoguttatus are similar to those of its congeneric species, further studies are needed in order to address the relationship between the species diet and its chemical defenses.","publicationDate":"2024-01-01","doi":"10.3897/herpetozoa.37.e108976","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.37.e108976","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["BR"],"source_details":{"id":69,"name":"Herpetozoa","slug":"herpetozoa","issn_l":"2682-955X","openalex_id":"S4210228833","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210228833","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210228833","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://herpetozoa.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/69/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/herpetozoa/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Carrillo","Juan FC"],"keywords":["Bufonidae"],"topics":["Amphibian and Reptile Biology","Fish biology, ecology, and behavior","Physiological and biochemical adaptations"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4396720056","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.37.e108976","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4396720056"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10507,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[21.0387,39.86375]}]},"bbox":[21.0387,39.86375,21.0387,39.86375],"properties":{"title":"First evidence of scavenging behaviour in Ichthyosaura alpestris (Laurenti, 1768)","type":"article","abstract":"The alpine newt is an opportunistic predator whose diet consists predominantly of aquatic and terrestrial invertebrates with Crustacea, Plecoptera, Collembola, Diptera, Isopoda and Gastropoda being the predominant prey groups.

This finding suggests that rodent carcasses can serve as an important resource for nutrients in remote, high-altitude populations of the alpine newt.","publicationDate":"2024-01-01","doi":"10.3897/herpetozoa.37.e123069","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.37.e123069","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["GR"],"source_details":{"id":69,"name":"Herpetozoa","slug":"herpetozoa","issn_l":"2682-955X","openalex_id":"S4210228833","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210228833","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210228833","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://herpetozoa.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/69/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/herpetozoa/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Daftsios","Thomas"],"keywords":["alpine newt"],"topics":["Amphibian and Reptile Biology","Wildlife Ecology and Conservation","Fish Biology and Ecology Studies"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4395664647","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.37.e123069","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4395664647"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10505,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[105.84944,23.02222]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[104.78185,19.66313]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[105.0016,19.33155]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[106.72683,21.18058]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[104.77323,18.91745]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[104.60594,19.03712]}]},"bbox":[104.60594,18.91745,106.72683,23.02222],"properties":{"title":"Redescription and a significant range extension of Rhacophorus napoensis Li, Liu, Yu & Sun, 2022 (Amphibia, Anura, Rhacophorinae) with the first record from Vietnam","type":"article","abstract":"The Napo Treefrog Rhacophorus napoensis was described based on five male specimens from Napo County, Baise City, Guangxi Autonomous Region, China.

Here, we describe as case where two Red-tailed Coral Snakes, Micrurus mipartitus, were observed competing for the same caecilian prey, either Caecilia leucocephala or C. perdita. This took place at night in a rainforest habitat in Valle del Cauca Department, western Colombia. Upon our arrival, the battle had already started as the two coral snakes kept bite-holds on the caecilian. They continued biting the prey at different places on the anterior parts and tugging in opposite directions. The snakes also made rotations along the longitudinal axis as they maintained their bite-holds. Surprisingly, one snake also bit the body of the other snake once. After 17 minutes of observation, the losing coral snake released its bite-hold on the caecilian. The winner then moved away from the losing snake which did not follow. It is well-known that M. mipartitus and other coral snakes eat caecilians, but this is the first observation of kleptoparasitism in elapid snakes in the wild. It is considered likely that they rely on chemoreception when detecting caecilians, notably in this case as two coral snakes detected the same prey item. In general, kleptoparasitism may occur more frequently amongst snakes than indicated by the very few published cases considering that numerous cases from captivity are known.","publicationDate":"2024-01-01","doi":"10.3897/herpetozoa.37.e112716","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.37.e112716","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["CO"],"source_details":{"id":69,"name":"Herpetozoa","slug":"herpetozoa","issn_l":"2682-955X","openalex_id":"S4210228833","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210228833","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210228833","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://herpetozoa.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/69/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/herpetozoa/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Bringsøe","Henrik"],"keywords":["caecilian"],"topics":["Plant and animal studies","Amphibian and Reptile Biology","Venomous Animal Envenomation and Studies"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4393069657","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.37.e112716","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4393069657"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10499,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[46.2065,35.7339]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[45.0577,36.5323]}]},"bbox":[45.0577,35.7339,46.2065,36.5323],"properties":{"title":"The first record of the rarely observed rat snake, Elaphe urartica Jablonski et al., 2019 (Squamata, Colubridae) for Iraq","type":"article","abstract":"The Urartian rat snake, Elaphe urartica Jablonski, Kukushkin, Avcı, Bunyatova, Ilgaz, Tuniyev & Jandzik, 2019, is a recently described species within the genus Elaphe, found in eastern Anatolia, Caucasian region and the northern Middle East.

This study reported the female specimen of this species for the first time, and provided a description and photos of the female specimen; meanwhile, we extended the diagnosis of this species.","publicationDate":"2024-01-01","doi":"10.3897/herpetozoa.37.e119492","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.37.e119492","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["MM"],"source_details":{"id":69,"name":"Herpetozoa","slug":"herpetozoa","issn_l":"2682-955X","openalex_id":"S4210228833","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210228833","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210228833","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://herpetozoa.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/69/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/herpetozoa/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Zhang","Dongru"],"keywords":["bent-toed gecko"],"topics":["Amphibian and Reptile Biology","Lepidoptera: Biology and Taxonomy","Species Distribution and Climate Change"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4392584444","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.37.e119492","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4392584444"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10496,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[24.06,43.17]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[23.21,42.49]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[24.12,42.89]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[24.02,43.24]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[22.78,42.57]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[22.7,42.69]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[23.83,43.01]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[24,42.84]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[24.08,42.84]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[23.95,42.8]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[24.19,42.83]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[24.26,42.93]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[24.27,42.94]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[24.1,42.95]}]},"bbox":[22.7,42.49,24.27,43.24],"properties":{"title":"New data on the distribution of the Vipera ammodytes (Linnaeus, 1758) mitochondrial lineages place their contact zone in western Bulgaria","type":"article","abstract":"Molecular studies have outlined several mitochondrial lineages of Vipera ammodytes, but the limits of their distribution ranges remain unclear due to limited sampling throughout the vast range of the species. One particularly understudied area is the Eastern Balkan Peninsula where at least three lineages occur, showing ranges that may be partly overlapping. We used two mitochondrial markers (cytb and ND2) to unveil mtDNA distribution patterns based on vipers from 31 localities across Bulgaria. Our results confirmed the presence of the north-eastern (NE) and the south-eastern (SE) mitochondrial clade in Bulgaria, the latter being represented by its southern (S) and eastern (E) subclades. Among the sampled localities, two were suspected to be potential contact zones between these mtDNA lineages based on old morphology-derived distributional records. The NE clade was absent from both potential contact zones. However, our data showed that in western Bulgaria, populations of this clade establish contact with populations of the E subclade in at least one area, and also come close to contact with populations of the S subclade. These results indicate the need for more detailed research in the potential areas of contact in western Bulgaria, integrating morphological data with extensive mitochondrial and nuclear DNA-sampling to better understand the phylogeographic patterns of intraspecific differentiation in V. ammodytes.","publicationDate":"2024-01-01","doi":"10.3897/herpetozoa.37.e116879","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.37.e116879","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["BG"],"source_details":{"id":69,"name":"Herpetozoa","slug":"herpetozoa","issn_l":"2682-955X","openalex_id":"S4210228833","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210228833","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210228833","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://herpetozoa.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/69/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/herpetozoa/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Dyugmedzhiev","Angel"],"keywords":["Balkan Peninsula"],"topics":["Animal Ecology and Behavior Studies","Species Distribution and Climate Change","Botany and Plant Ecology Studies"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4392110923","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.37.e116879","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4392110923"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10495,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[12,55]}]},"bbox":[12.0,55.0,12.0,55.0],"properties":{"title":"Three brown frog species in Denmark have different abilities to colonise new ponds","type":"article","abstract":"For 29 consecutive years, the populations of three species of brown frogs, Rana arvalis, R. dalmatina and R. temporaria, were monitored in an open area in South Zealand, Denmark, with no direct influence of agriculture. Population sizes were recorded by counting egg clumps and showed large variations from year to year. The total population of R. arvalis differed by a factor of 100 between the years with the lowest and the highest numbers. A total of 19 initially unoccupied suitable waterbodies could potentially be colonised by the frogs. Rana dalmatina colonised all of the ponds, mostly in the very first year of existence. Rana arvalis colonised 17 ponds after an average of 10.5 years. Rana temporaria colonised eight ponds after an average of 13.4 years. Colonisation by R. dalmatina was independent of changes in total population size, whereas colonisation by R. arvalis predominantly occurred in years with considerable population increases. The results are discussed in relation to the movement patterns and philopatry of juvenile frogs of the three species. Juvenile R. dalmatina disperse far from the breeding site, but most individuals return to their natal site. This allows the species to be an efficient coloniser of new waterbodies and, at the same time, to have stable occurrence at the original site. The two other species show a more erratic type of dispersal and especially R. temporaria often shifts breeding site from year to year.","publicationDate":"2024-01-01","doi":"10.3897/herpetozoa.37.e107986","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.37.e107986","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["DK"],"source_details":{"id":69,"name":"Herpetozoa","slug":"herpetozoa","issn_l":"2682-955X","openalex_id":"S4210228833","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210228833","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210228833","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://herpetozoa.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/69/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/herpetozoa/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Fog","Kåre"],"keywords":["dispersal"],"topics":["Amphibian and Reptile Biology","Species Distribution and Climate Change","Animal and Plant Science Education"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4391965314","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.37.e107986","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4391965314"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10493,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[24.4582,38.0654]}]},"bbox":[24.4582,38.0654,24.4582,38.0654],"properties":{"title":"First record of Bombina variegata (Linnaeus, 1758) at the southern part of Euboea Island, Greece","type":"article","abstract":"The herpetofauna of Greek islands is fairly well known.

The present study is the first reproductive effort analysis of a population of the high-mountain scincid lizard Plestiodon copei in central Mexico, focusing on relative litter mass (RLM), investment per capita (INV) and productivity (PROD). We also compared the reproductive efficacy of P. copei to those of other Mexican congeners. We collected 24 gravid females of P. copei over a 4-year period and recorded a total of 90 neonates born in captivity.

Results unveiled that males typically reached ponds first, with temperature being pivotal: males preferred up to 5 °C, females around 10 °C, while juveniles moved as temperatures increase. Wind velocity affected larger newts, around 120 mm, prompting them to migrate with stronger winds. Notably, heavy rainfall favored migration of newts of roughly 60 mm size. Humidity displayed gender-based trends: males associated positively with average levels, females showed aversion above 50%, and juveniles leaned towards drier conditions. Emigration patterns mirrored these findings, emphasizing roles of temperature, wind, and humidity. The effect of moonlight is not statistically significant. These findings provide valuable insights into the environmental factors influencing the migration of T. cristatus, which may guide future conservation efforts.","publicationDate":"2023-01-01","doi":"10.3897/herpetozoa.36.e112826","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.36.e112826","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["CZ"],"source_details":{"id":69,"name":"Herpetozoa","slug":"herpetozoa","issn_l":"2682-955X","openalex_id":"S4210228833","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210228833","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210228833","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://herpetozoa.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/69/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/herpetozoa/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Weber","Lukáš"],"keywords":["emigration"],"topics":["Wildlife Ecology and Conservation","Amphibian and Reptile Biology","Fish Ecology and Management Studies"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4390347634","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.36.e112826","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4390347634"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10489,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[94.63878,26.98515]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[95.17644,29.23942]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[90.335,25.525]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[90.3982,25.51421]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[97.23878,26.24972]}]},"bbox":[90.335,25.51421,97.23878,29.23942],"properties":{"title":"Redescription of Rhacophorus tuberculatus (Anderson, 1871) and the validity of Rhacophorus verrucopus Huang, 1983","type":"article","abstract":"Rhacophorus tuberculatus and Rhacophorus verrucopus are two morphologically similar species described in 1871 and 1983 respectively.

On the basis of molecular data and morphological characteristics, we conclude that R. verrucopus is a junior synonym of R. tuberculatus.","publicationDate":"2023-01-01","doi":"10.3897/herpetozoa.36.e113656","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.36.e113656","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["CN","IN","MM"],"source_details":{"id":69,"name":"Herpetozoa","slug":"herpetozoa","issn_l":"2682-955X","openalex_id":"S4210228833","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210228833","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210228833","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://herpetozoa.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/69/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/herpetozoa/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Naveen","R.S."],"keywords":["Darwinian shortfall"],"topics":["Amphibian and Reptile Biology","Genetic diversity and population structure","Identification and Quantification in Food"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4390114619","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.36.e113656","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4390114619"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10488,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-71.18333,-35.46667]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-70.83333,-35.53333]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-71.07417,-35.59472]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-71.00111,-35.5925]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-71.01361,-35.59444]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-71.02639,-35.59806]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-71.03694,-35.59556]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-71.07139,-35.60917]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-71.0725,-35.61833]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-71.4,-37.98333]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-71.63417,-37.89111]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-70.92981,-35.49817]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-71.49583,-37.385]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-71.37601,-36.74059]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-71.5085,-37.8983]}]},"bbox":[-71.63417,-37.98333,-70.83333,-35.46667],"properties":{"title":"Geographic distribution of the rare and endangered Telmatobufo venustus (Philippi, 1899) (Anura, Calyptocephalellidae), with the description of a new locality and comments on the type locality","type":"article","abstract":"Telmatobufo venustus was one of the rarest endemic amphibians of Chile until 2020.

In this study, we review the geographic information on the species and, based on literature and other documents, tentatively locate the three localities with uncertain location published before 2020. Furthermore, we describe a new locality near the uncertain southern end of its distribution. Although the number of localities has considerably increased since 2020, the species still has a highly fragmented known distribution, its type locality and southern limit cannot be located with certainty, and it is found in only two state-protected areas. Due to these reasons and because threats to the habitat have been identified in some localities, we suggest keeping the species as Endangered.","publicationDate":"2023-01-01","doi":"10.3897/herpetozoa.36.e107328","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.36.e107328","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["CL"],"source_details":{"id":69,"name":"Herpetozoa","slug":"herpetozoa","issn_l":"2682-955X","openalex_id":"S4210228833","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210228833","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210228833","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://herpetozoa.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/69/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/herpetozoa/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Correa","Claudio"],"keywords":["altitudinal range"],"topics":["Species Distribution and Climate Change","Amphibian and Reptile Biology","Ecology and Vegetation Dynamics Studies"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4390104209","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.36.e107328","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4390104209"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10485,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[108.0025,25.09889]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[113.28111,23.09583]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[101.25278,21.93583]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[114.23583,22.56861]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[114.23861,22.90556]}]},"bbox":[101.25278,21.93583,114.23861,25.09889],"properties":{"title":"Taxonomic status of Lycodon subcinctus sensu lato in China (Serpentes, Colubridae)","type":"article","abstract":"The Malayan Banded Wolf Snake Lycodon subcinctus Boie, 1827 once included three subspecies, namely L. s. subcinctus Boie, 1827, L. s. sealei Leviton, 1955, and L. s. maculatus (Cope, 1985).

The monitors exhibited bimodal diurnal activity, with a focus on fish hunting in the morning (06:00–08:00 h) and scavenging for fish leftovers in the afternoon (15:00–17:00 h). After the monitor lizards hunted for prey in the morning, they spent 5–7 hours basking and floating in the lake during the afternoon. Sexual behaviors were also occasionally observed.

The call of P. galdi consists of 7 to 9 short notes, the sounds of which are similar to a hammer hitting a nail, with a mean dominant frequency of 2.39 kHz. In turn, the call of P. katoptroides consists of a single note, the sound of which is similar to a metallic “tic”, with a mean dominant frequency of 1.74 kHz. We compared the advertisement calls of P. galdi, P. katoptroides and P. roni as these species share similar morphological characteristics and are grouped in the spiny green frog’s ecotype. Despite these morphological similarities, their advertisement calls are different. Obtaining calls of Pristimantis species in Ecuador might prove difficult with short-term studies due to the great sampling efforts that may be needed to get these recordings. Therefore, implementing active and passive monitoring could help improve our knowledge of acoustic signals in Ecuador’s rainfrogs.","publicationDate":"2023-01-01","doi":"10.3897/herpetozoa.36.e97705","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.36.e97705","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["EC"],"source_details":{"id":69,"name":"Herpetozoa","slug":"herpetozoa","issn_l":"2682-955X","openalex_id":"S4210228833","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210228833","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210228833","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://herpetozoa.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/69/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/herpetozoa/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Batallas","Diego"],"keywords":["acoustic communication"],"topics":["Amphibian and Reptile Biology","Animal Vocal Communication and Behavior","Bat Biology and Ecology Studies"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4328132692","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.36.e97705","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4328132692"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10455,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[99.01972,24.34472]}]},"bbox":[99.01972,24.34472,99.01972,24.34472],"properties":{"title":"First record of Hoplobatrachus litoralis Hasan, Kuramoto, Islam, Alam, Khan & Sumida, 2012 (Anura, Dicroglossidae) from China","type":"article","abstract":"We report the first record of Hoplobatrachus litoralis Hasan, Kuramoto, Islam, Alam, Khan & Sumida, 2012 from China based on seven specimens from Baoshan City, western Yunnan.

Herein, we described new records of the anomaly P syndrome in water frogs of the genus Pelophylax from the northeastern parts of their ranges. Symmetrical polydactyly (as a mild form of the anomaly P syndrome) was found in 30 individuals of three species of water frogs from seven localities: in 25 individuals of P. lessonae from four waterbodies, in four individuals of P. ridibundus from three waterbodies, and one individual of P. esculentus. In Gusevo pond, three individuals of P. lessonae with severe cases of the syndrome were found. This is the first record of the anomaly P in reliably identified hybridogenetic edible frogs (P. esculentus) that have been identified in nature. Additionally, we provided new data about the occurrence of the anomaly P and the prevalence of the trematode S. robusta in mollusks taken from two water bodies where anomalous water frogs were found.","publicationDate":"2022-01-01","doi":"10.3897/herpetozoa.35.e95928","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.35.e95928","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["RU"],"source_details":{"id":69,"name":"Herpetozoa","slug":"herpetozoa","issn_l":"2682-955X","openalex_id":"S4210228833","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210228833","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210228833","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://herpetozoa.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/69/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/herpetozoa/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Svinin","Anton"],"keywords":["amphibian morphological anomalies"],"topics":["Amphibian and Reptile Biology","Parasite Biology and Host Interactions","Evolution and Genetic Dynamics"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4313326708","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.35.e95928","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4313326708"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10449,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[29.524,45.286]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[29.111,45.2]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[29.654,45.156]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[29.593,44.896]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[28.93,44.613]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[28.931,44.614]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[28.773,44.547]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[28.775,44.547]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[28.762,44.549]}]},"bbox":[28.762,44.547,29.654,45.286],"properties":{"title":"Melanism in the grass snake Natrix natrix (Linnaeus, 1758) from the Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve, Romania","type":"article","abstract":"Animal colouration has a significant ecological role in defence, reproduction, and thermoregulation. In the case of melanism, it is a complex topic. Besides potential disadvantages such as higher risk of predation, melanistic ectotherms may have certain physiological advantages such as more efficient thermoregulation in colder climates and thus, reduced basking time. The common grass snake (Natrix natrix) is a widespread species throughout Europe and Asia. It exhibits a wide range of colour polymorphisms, from olive to dark grey, even albinistic and melanistic. Between 2016 and 2021, we conducted fieldwork in the Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve (DDBR) with the aim to document the geographic range of melanistic grass snakes. We categorised the melanistic expressions of N. natrix individuals as melanotic, completely melanistic, and partially melanistic. Melanistic snakes were encountered in all six localities visited, suggesting that the occurrence of melanistic grass snakes in the DDBR is geographically widespread. We observed both juveniles (n=2) and adults (n=11) with melanism, suggesting that individuals are born melanistic. However, the proportion of melanistic individuals in the general population of N. natrix from the DDBR is unknown. Only at Histria locality we studied the proportion of melanism in the grass snake population and 6.3% of the snakes caught were melanistic. Body size comparisons are not statistically significant because of the low sample size. The N. natrix melanistic morph’s geographical distribution in the DDBR is most likely due to an interaction of climate and habitats, which offer a thermal advantage in the face of predation pressure.","publicationDate":"2022-01-01","doi":"10.3897/herpetozoa.35.e85310","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.35.e85310","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["RO"],"source_details":{"id":69,"name":"Herpetozoa","slug":"herpetozoa","issn_l":"2682-955X","openalex_id":"S4210228833","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210228833","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210228833","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://herpetozoa.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/69/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/herpetozoa/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Fănaru","Geanina"],"keywords":["colour morphs"],"topics":["Animal and Plant Science Education","Amphibian and Reptile Biology","Plant and animal studies"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4312111463","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.35.e85310","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4312111463"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10447,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[23.68893,37.97465]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[37.97464,23.68893]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[39.6231,26.88096]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[38.55811,27.21653]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[37.93787,27.88985]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[37.94394,27.89219]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[37.73897,26.89663]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[37.78866,26.66754]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[37.61707,26.0629]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[37.566,26.0514]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[36.6046,27.849]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[36.62,27.83]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[36.2896,27.9427]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[36.44388,28.22115]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[36.43549,28.21767]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[36.33,28.21]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[36.52431,29.80464]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[37.13719,30.0285]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[37.59461,29.11686]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[36.1153,29.6372]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[36.22376,29.768]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[36.68172,30.40508]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[36.94415,30.16038]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[37.69956,30.34522]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[36.88653,31.5465]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[36.86689,31.55906]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[36.49711,32.45828]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[36.21247,32.83011]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[36.32493,32.95107]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[36.2785,33.37964]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[37.01912,34.35123]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[37.14658,34.57811]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[37.50894,35.86014]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[37.82644,35.95111]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[38.00275,36.09392]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[37.07046,22.37201]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[37.15508,22.3171]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[34.97667,32.91028]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[38.74674,37.0202]}]},"bbox":[23.68893,22.3171,39.6231,37.97465],"properties":{"title":"First record of Anatololacerta pelasgiana (Mertens, 1959) in mainland Greece: another new species in Athens","type":"article","abstract":"Urban habitats receive an increasing number of species due to anthropogenic activities, mainly transportations.

Because the potential biological importance of erythristic colouration is unclear, we encourage other field herpetologists and naturalists to publish their observations of reddish Grass Snakes in the printed literature.","publicationDate":"2022-01-01","doi":"10.3897/herpetozoa.35.e90928","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.35.e90928","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["GR","SK"],"source_details":{"id":69,"name":"Herpetozoa","slug":"herpetozoa","issn_l":"2682-955X","openalex_id":"S4210228833","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210228833","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210228833","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://herpetozoa.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/69/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/herpetozoa/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Jablonski","Daniel"],"keywords":["colour morph"],"topics":["Amphibian and Reptile Biology","Venomous Animal Envenomation and Studies","Leech Biology and Applications"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4307164987","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.35.e90928","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4307164987"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10441,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[24.90222,37.83117]}]},"bbox":[24.90222,37.83117,24.90222,37.83117],"properties":{"title":"Eat or be eaten?

We carried out recent, sporadic surveys between 2017 and 2021 to detect P. mustersi in three tributaries of the Paghman stream on the southern slopes of the Hindu Kush Mountains and the two nearby provinces (Panjsheer and Parwan), where the presence of the species was expected. We confirmed the occurrence of P. mustersi at all survey sites, and present the first record of the species for Panjsheer Province.

Probably, D. praticola recently crossed the Mureș River, possibly on a bridge, or with the timber trucks which exploit the woods from both sides of the river.","publicationDate":"2022-01-01","doi":"10.3897/herpetozoa.35.e79892","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.35.e79892","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["RO"],"source_details":{"id":69,"name":"Herpetozoa","slug":"herpetozoa","issn_l":"2682-955X","openalex_id":"S4210228833","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210228833","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210228833","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://herpetozoa.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/69/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/herpetozoa/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Maier","Alexandra"],"keywords":["barrier"],"topics":["Lichen and fungal ecology","Forest Ecology and Biodiversity Studies","Bryophyte Studies and Records"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4213121459","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.35.e79892","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4213121459"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10418,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[65.17617,57.18467]}]},"bbox":[65.17617,57.18467,65.17617,57.18467],"properties":{"title":"First record of ranavirus (Ranavirus sp.) in Siberia, Russia","type":"article","abstract":"Ranaviruses are a group of double-strand DNA viruses that infect fish, amphibians and reptiles.

In Eastern Europe and Northern Asia, including Russia, very few ranavirus monitoring studies have been conducted, in contrast with Western Europe and America. In the present work, we used a qPCR assay to survey for the first time the amphibian populations of West Siberia (Russia) for the presence of ranaviruses. In total, we studied 252 tissue samples from six amphibian species, collected across West Siberia from the south to the Arctic regions. We report a single infected sample: a common toad (Bufo bufo) captured near Tyumen city. The phylogenetic analysis showed that the detected virus strain belongs to the CMTV lineage. This is only the second observation of Ranavirus in Russia.","publicationDate":"2022-01-01","doi":"10.3897/herpetozoa.35.e79490","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.35.e79490","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["RU"],"source_details":{"id":69,"name":"Herpetozoa","slug":"herpetozoa","issn_l":"2682-955X","openalex_id":"S4210228833","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210228833","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210228833","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://herpetozoa.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/69/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/herpetozoa/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Lisachov","Artem"],"keywords":["amphibian pathogens"],"topics":["Aquaculture disease management and microbiota","Viral Infections and Vectors","Animal Virus Infections Studies"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4210913046","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.35.e79490","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4210913046"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10417,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[100.9731,19.0181]}]},"bbox":[100.9731,19.0181,100.9731,19.0181],"properties":{"title":"Distribution extension of Leptobrachella eos (Ohler, Wollenberg, Grosjean, Hendrix, Vences, Ziegler & Dubois, 2011): first record from Thailand","type":"article","abstract":"We report the first country record of Leptobrachella eos (Ohler, Wollenberg, Grosjean, Hendrix, Vences, Ziegler & Dubois, 2011) from Thailand, based on one specimen collected from Chom poo Phuka nature trail, Bo Kluea District.

We measured eight tree hole variables to determine which should be included in the best model to explain breeding use by K. eiffingeri. Out of 32 tree holes examined, we found five that were used for oviposition. The best model included the height above the ground and angle of opening. Higher located tree holes and a larger opening angle were associated with more frequent oviposition by K. eiffingeri. This trend may be due to the higher predation risk in lower tree holes with a steeper opening. The importance of the height of the breeding site above ground was also noted in a previous study on bamboo stumps in Taiwan, but the opening angle was only salient in this study.

Here, we report the occurrence of anti-predator behaviour in the toad Rhinella major (Müller and Hellmich 1936) (Amphibia, Anura, Bufonidae) in the face of different handling modes. Probably the disturbance caused by handling had elicited a predator deterrence response in the individual, causing it to rapidly exhibit such behaviour.

Investigating habitat selection patterns at different scales can provide important information on the relative roles of the environmental factors influencing the organisms’ abilities to use their surrounding habitat. This work aimed at investigating which environmental factors determine habitat selection by Rhinella icterica tadpoles, and also took the opportunity to investigate how the scale in which tadpoles and environmental data are sampled might influence the habitat selection results. A total of 2.240 tadpoles were counted in the whole sampling area, and while substrate cover and depth were the variables that better explained the abundance of tadpoles at the larger scale (plot level), depth and water turbidity better explained tadpoles’ abundance at the smaller scale (subplot level). The results suggest that avoiding predation by matching the background color is a likely process explaining tadpoles’ occupancy at both scales. Depth is known to influence tadpole habitat use in the tropics, and although its combination with turbidity and substrate cover varied between scales, our study suggests that sampling at different scales might not affect the inferred ecological processes driving habitat selection. This information might also be useful to predict tadpoles’ responses to micro-environmental perturbations and help in guiding the choice of parameters that should be taken into account when analyzing the effects of habitat degradation in Atlantic Forest amphibian populations.","publicationDate":"2021-01-01","doi":"10.3897/herpetozoa.34.e56326","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.34.e56326","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["BR"],"source_details":{"id":69,"name":"Herpetozoa","slug":"herpetozoa","issn_l":"2682-955X","openalex_id":"S4210228833","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210228833","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210228833","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://herpetozoa.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/69/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/herpetozoa/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Preuss","Gabriel"],"keywords":["Atlantic Forest"],"topics":["Amphibian and Reptile Biology","Species Distribution and Climate Change","Wildlife Ecology and Conservation"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W3191200124","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.34.e56326","mag":"3191200124","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W3191200124"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10397,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[66,29.5]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[66.183,27.682]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[66.298,27.907]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[66.4,29.71]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[65.53,28.67]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[64.06,26.99]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[71.65,34.3]}]},"bbox":[64.06,26.99,71.65,34.3],"properties":{"title":"The genus Pelophylax (Amphibia, Ranidae) in Pakistan: museum collections and possible distribution","type":"article","abstract":"We provide the first comprehensive data on the questionable distribution of the genus Pelophylax and the family Ranidae from Pakistan.

Adult anurans, by contrast, have received less attention. Recently, it was shown that chemical scents are also relevant for adult anuran intraspecific communication. In this context, we evaluate whether females of the four-eyed frog (Pleurodema thaul) respond to conspecific male scents. We carried out a double choice experiment in a Y-maze. Females were repeatedly presented with the scents of several males versus distilled water. To extract the scent from males, we acoustically stimulated males and then used the water from their aquaria for the experiments. Our data suggest that females are capable of responding behaviourally to male scents, since they spent longer periods in the zones with male scent, rather than in zones with water. We propose that under natural breeding conditions, females of P. thaul may use either their chemical sense or chemical cues to facilitate their encounters with males.","publicationDate":"2021-01-01","doi":"10.3897/herpetozoa.34.e62007","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.34.e62007","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["CL"],"source_details":{"id":69,"name":"Herpetozoa","slug":"herpetozoa","issn_l":"2682-955X","openalex_id":"S4210228833","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210228833","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210228833","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://herpetozoa.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/69/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/herpetozoa/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Rojas Vasquez","Valentina"],"keywords":["anuran communication"],"topics":["Amphibian and Reptile Biology","Animal Behavior and Reproduction","Plant and animal studies"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W3169540493","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.34.e62007","mag":"3169540493","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W3169540493"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10391,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[31.85,47.15]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[31.76,47.11]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[31.81,47.06]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[31.87,47.1]}]},"bbox":[31.76,47.06,31.87,47.15],"properties":{"title":"The first comprehensive data on the distribution of reptiles within the Southern Bug eco-corridor, Ukraine","type":"article","abstract":"This study provides distribution data for 12 species of reptiles in the Southern Bug eco-corridor located within the steppe zone, Mykolaiv Oblast (province), Ukraine.

The population density of the parthenogenetic lizard is five times higher than that of the sexual breeder. We studied the distribution of active lizards in space and time over three consecutive years, during the spring and autumn activity periods, to explore spatial and temporal differences between the species on a fine spatial scale. We studied the influence of temperature, humidity, and quantitative characteristics of the surface and the distance from permanent water source on the spatial distribution of D. dahli and D. portschinskii. Darevskia portschinskii was less dependent on the distance from the water source and more evenly distributed in space and time than D. dahli. Despite potential competitive interactions, the species did not avoid each other on the microhabitat scale, suggesting that the observed ecological differences are not caused by a niche shift. More individuals of the sexual breeder than individuals of the parthenogen were found in suboptimal habitats. This feature may increase the evolutionary success of D. portschinskii in a long-term perspective.","publicationDate":"2021-01-01","doi":"10.3897/herpetozoa.34.e63072","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.34.e63072","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["SO"],"source_details":{"id":69,"name":"Herpetozoa","slug":"herpetozoa","issn_l":"2682-955X","openalex_id":"S4210228833","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210228833","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210228833","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://herpetozoa.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/69/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/herpetozoa/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Barateli","Natia"],"keywords":["competition"],"topics":["Animal Ecology and Behavior Studies","Ecology and Vegetation Dynamics Studies","Species Distribution and Climate Change"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W3135073561","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.34.e63072","mag":"3135073561","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W3135073561"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10386,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-71.53333,-16.18333]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-71.53389,-16.1825]}]},"bbox":[-71.53389,-16.18333,-71.53333,-16.1825],"properties":{"title":"A high mountain lizard from Peru: The world’s highest-altitude reptile","type":"article","abstract":"Life at high altitudes is particularly challenging for ectothermic animals like reptiles and involves the evolution of specialised adaptations to deal with low temperatures, hypoxia and intense UV radiation.

In one case, it performed repeated rotations about its own longitudinal body axis (“death roll”) while its head was inserted into the frog’s abdomen.

Endangered Ambystoma altamirani Dugès, 1895 is a flagship species for the Lagos de Zempoala National Park (LZNP) in central Mexico, a protected area subject to numerous anthropogenic threats. Ambystoma altamirani populations in the Park have been little studied. In 2016–2017, we surveyed four streams where populations of the species had been previously reported. Habitat variables did not differ amongst streams and three had invasive rainbow trout, but we were only able to locate one A. altamirani population in Quila, a small, cold water stream lacking fish. We captured an average of 88 individuals (total n = 354; range 53–109) across all samples in this stream, including larvae, juveniles and adults. Population estimates ranged between 53 and 127 individuals. The absence in other streams suggests reductions in the spatial extent of A. altamirani in the LZNP. We suggest rainbow trout presence in numerous streams have led to local extirpation of A. altamirani and that removal and blockage of the invasive fish and a planned re-introduction strategy might help in restoring this flagship species.","publicationDate":"2020-01-01","doi":"10.3897/herpetozoa.33.e56588","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.33.e56588","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["MX"],"source_details":{"id":69,"name":"Herpetozoa","slug":"herpetozoa","issn_l":"2682-955X","openalex_id":"S4210228833","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210228833","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210228833","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://herpetozoa.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/69/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/herpetozoa/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Guerrero de la Paz","Jesica Gabriela"],"keywords":["mountain stream siredon"],"topics":["Amphibian and Reptile Biology","Turtle Biology and Conservation","Wildlife-Road Interactions and Conservation"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W3094197228","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.33.e56588","mag":"3094197228","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W3094197228"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10370,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[23.2529,42.8553]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[23.382,43.0889]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[24.0603,43.1796]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[23.386,43.0896]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[23.1562,41.7631]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[24.0604,43.1795]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[23.3848,43.0895]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[23.3836,43.0895]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[24.0575,43.1801]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[24.0571,43.1801]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[24.0577,43.1801]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[24.0562,43.1803]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[23.3819,43.0888]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[23.156,41.7618]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[23.1554,41.7662]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[26.067,41.4282]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[27.8923,42.7373]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[24.1013,43.1516]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[25.2894,41.9328]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[24.0549,43.1799]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[25.9668,41.7034]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[25.3264,41.8677]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[23.3174,41.413]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[26.0507,41.5975]}]},"bbox":[23.1554,41.413,27.8923,43.1803],"properties":{"title":"Crepuscular and nocturnal activity of the Nose-horned viper, Vipera ammodytes (Linnaeus, 1758) is more common than previously reported","type":"article","abstract":"Different snake species may be active at various times of the day.

In order to assess the generality of previous results, male Bufo bufo were collected during their breeding migration and translocated to two testing sites, 2.4 and 2.9 km away, respectively, from their breeding pond in the north of Vienna (Austria). There each toad was tested twice for orientation responses in a circular arena, on the night of collection and four days later. On the first test day, the toads showed significant axial orientation along their individual former migration direction. On the second test day, no significant homeward orientation was detected. Both results accord with findings of previous experiments with toads from another population. We analysed the potential influence of environmental factors (temperature, cloud cover and lunar cycle) on toad orientations using a MANOVA approach. Although cloud cover and lunar cycle had small effects on the second test day, they could not explain the absence of homeward orientation. The absence of homing responses in these tests may be either caused by the absence of navigational capabilities of toads beyond their home ranges, or by inadequacies of the applied method. To resolve this question, tracking of freely moving toads should have greater potential than the use of arena experiments.","publicationDate":"2020-01-01","doi":"10.3897/herpetozoa.33.e52854","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.33.e52854","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["AT"],"source_details":{"id":69,"name":"Herpetozoa","slug":"herpetozoa","issn_l":"2682-955X","openalex_id":"S4210228833","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210228833","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210228833","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://herpetozoa.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/69/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/herpetozoa/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Pail","Markus"],"keywords":["Amphibia"],"topics":["Animal Behavior and Reproduction","Animal Vocal Communication and Behavior","Bat Biology and Ecology Studies"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W3049548969","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.33.e52854","mag":"3049548969","pmid":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35444377","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W3049548969"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10366,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-99.65,18.84167]}]},"bbox":[-99.65,18.84167,-99.65,18.84167],"properties":{"title":"Aspidoscelis costatus costatus (Squamata, Teiidae): high elevation clutch production for a population of whiptail lizards","type":"article","abstract":"Clutch size and number of clutches per reproductive cycle are important life history traits that can be influenced by anatomical, physiological, evolutionary, and ecological factors.

The study site is located in Ixtapan de la Sal, southeastern Estado de México, Central Mexico, at 2090 m a.s.l. Lizards were sampled in June 2006, and from May to July 2007, where females of Aspidoscelis costatus costatus were collected by hand along a drift fence. Female reproductive condition was evaluated based on abdominal palpation for presence of developing eggs; clutch size was determined by actual counts of either vitellogenic follicles or oviductal eggs. The smallest reproductive female was 77 mm snout-vent length; females produced a minimum of two clutches during the breeding season, the mean clutch size of 6.5 eggs (n = 33) was one of the largest reported for the genus. However, both length and width of its eggs, and the relative clutch mass have not been diminished by development of a large clutch. Additionally, comparisons of clutch size were undertaken within the polytypic A. costatus complex, within the genus Aspidoscelis, and between certain genera of whiptail lizards.

The primary cause of death was determined in 50.8% of the stranded turtles. Regarding the evidence of interactions with humans the major cause of stranding in loggerhead turtles was incidental catch by artisanal fisheries, followed by boats’ collisions.

This study provides the first report and characterisation of amphibians and reptile communities across primary habitat types of the Victoria-Anepahan Mountain Range on Palawan Island along the western edge of the archipelago. A total of 41 amphibian and reptile species were recorded throughout our sampling sites (n = 27 species) or in targeted habitat searches (14 species). A species richness estimator predicted that 35 species may be present in our sampling sites, suggesting that a significant proportion of secretive species may continue to be unrecorded, especially for reptiles. Higher species richness was found in secondary growth than in mixed-use agricultural areas or even pristine forest. The low species richness recorded from pristine forest types may be due to these forests now being restricted to higher elevations where species diversity has been documented to decrease. Our results also show that complex community structures (species assemblages) are to be equally expected in both secondary growth and pristine forests. Together, our results show how species richness and community assemblages may vary across habitats, highlighting that old growth forest does not always support higher species richness, particularly in high elevations.","publicationDate":"2020-01-01","doi":"10.3897/herpetozoa.33.e47293","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.33.e47293","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["PH"],"source_details":{"id":69,"name":"Herpetozoa","slug":"herpetozoa","issn_l":"2682-955X","openalex_id":"S4210228833","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210228833","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210228833","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://herpetozoa.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/69/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/herpetozoa/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Supsup","Christian"],"keywords":["amphibians"],"topics":["Amphibian and Reptile Biology","Species Distribution and Climate Change","Ecology and Vegetation Dynamics Studies"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W3026750547","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.33.e47293","mag":"3026750547","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W3026750547"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10360,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[28.29,45.43]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[23.85,45.43]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[21.7,44.66]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[22.44,45.45]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[23.3,45.45]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[22.39,45.52]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[25.22,45.44]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[21.68,44.67]}]},"bbox":[21.68,44.66,28.29,45.52],"properties":{"title":"The possible origin of the common wall lizard, Podarcis muralis (Laurenti, 1768) in Ukraine","type":"article","abstract":"The phylogenetic relationships and possible origin of a putative non-native population of Podarcis muralis in Ukraine were assessed based on sequences of the mitochondrial gene cytochrome b.

From overall three detected Ukrainian haplotypes, one haplotype share same genetic signal with the hyplotype from the locality Bjala (Bulgaria), the other two are unique for Ukrainian population. Two of haplotypes correspond with haplogroup covering large geographic region of Bulgaria, Serbia, and Romania. These results reinforce previous findings that the species has the ability to establish new populations out of its native range.

This study aims to assess the effects of sex and body mass on home range size and the sexual differences in the use of terrestrial habitats of a population of aquatic turtles Phrynops geoffroanus from an urban area in Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. Turtles were captured along a river by active search, occasional encounter and hoop traps. Using individual VHF radio transmitters, 13 individuals (7 females and 6 males) were radio-tracked by homing in on the signal strength of the transmitter. Home ranges were estimated by 95% and 50% core one-dimensional fixed kernel and linear distance method. Home ranges were similar for both sexes (t = -0.50, DF = 12, p = 0.62) and independent of body mass (t = -0.53, DF = 12, p = 0.60). However, females seemed to use terrestrial habitats more than males (females = six recorded locations out of 767 points; males = none), probably to nest. To gain insight on how males and females use their space, it would be useful to focus future studies on the influence of sex in microhabitat selection of Phrynops geoffroanus. Finally, as sex did not influence home range, studying the contribution of other variables – both intrinsic, as age or personality, and extrinsic, as habitat composition or distribution of trophic resources – shaping the home ranges of the species is proposed.","publicationDate":"2019-01-01","doi":"10.3897/herpetozoa.32.e38237","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.32.e38237","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["BR"],"source_details":{"id":69,"name":"Herpetozoa","slug":"herpetozoa","issn_l":"2682-955X","openalex_id":"S4210228833","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210228833","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210228833","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://herpetozoa.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/69/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/herpetozoa/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Müller","Márcia Marrie"],"keywords":["one-dimensional fixed kernel"],"topics":["Turtle Biology and Conservation","Amphibian and Reptile Biology","Wildlife Ecology and Conservation"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2993914489","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.32.e38237","mag":"2993914489","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W2993914489"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10343,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[35.61,33.66]}]},"bbox":[35.61,33.66,35.61,33.66],"properties":{"title":"The Caucasian Toad, Bufo verrucosissimus (Pallas, 1814) in the Levant: evidence from mitochondrial DNA","type":"article","abstract":"We present the first molecular analysis of the Bufo bufo (Linnaeus, 1758) complex population in the Levant.

We found strong genetic structure between populations for each species. Effective population size was small but similar to that of the studies from other mole salamanders with restricted distributions or with recently fragmented habitats. Despite the medium to high levels of genetic diversity expressed as heterozygosity, we found few alleles, evidence of a genetic bottleneck and that the effective population size is small in all populations.

Knowledge of basking habits, along with other biological characteristics of the species, could be important to preserve the European pond turtle. The purpose of our research was to assess the seasonal and daily basking activity of the European pond turtle, and the effects of weather parameters on sun-basking, for which no prior data exist for Hungary. Our study was carried out in the area of a dammed valley pond system at Gödöllő (Hungary) over two years. The results showed that the seasonal peak of the turtles’ basking (the highest number of observed sun-basking turtles) was in the spring. When using a finer time scale (1.5-hour intervals), we found that daily activity peaks were earlier in the spring and summer (11:00–12:30 h) than in autumn (12:30–14:00 h). Based on three measured temperatures (air temperature in shade and sunlight, water temperature), the number of basking turtles positively correlated with temperatures and varied seasonally; the optimal temperature ranges also shifted during the year. In the spring and autumn, turtles started sun-basking at lower temperatures than in the summer. We observed the narrowest optimal temperature ranges in the summer as well. Based on a Principal Component Analysis of weather parameters, low humidity and high air temperature created optimal basking conditions, whereas high humidity, and low air and water temperatures had an adverse effect.","publicationDate":"2019-01-01","doi":"10.3897/herpetozoa.32.e39059","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.32.e39059","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["HU"],"source_details":{"id":69,"name":"Herpetozoa","slug":"herpetozoa","issn_l":"2682-955X","openalex_id":"S4210228833","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210228833","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210228833","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://herpetozoa.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/69/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/herpetozoa/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Gergő","Erdélyi"],"keywords":["freshwater turtle"],"topics":["Turtle Biology and Conservation","Physiological and biochemical adaptations","Avian ecology and behavior"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2978377380","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.32.e39059","mag":"2978377380","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W2978377380"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10337,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-94.63942,18.44342]}]},"bbox":[-94.63942,18.44342,-94.63942,18.44342],"properties":{"title":"Relative clutch mass of Basiliscus vittatus Wiegmann, 1828 (Squamata, Corytophanidae): female morphological constraints","type":"article","abstract":"Clutch size (CS) and relative clutch mass (RCM) are considered important features in life history descriptions of species within Squamata.

Twenty-nine gravid females were collected and kept in captivity under favorable conditions that promote oviposition. The CS within this population was 6.2 ± 0.2 and was correlated positively with snout vent-length (SVL); while the RCM was 0.17 ± 0.006 and was correlated positively with both CS and width of egg. Factors, such as female morphology and environmental conditions, should influence these reproductive traits in B. vittatus. The data collected in this study could provide a framework for comparisons of the life history traits across populations of B. vittatus in Mexico and within other species of the family Corytophanidae and provide a model for testing how abiotic and biotic factors may influence the CS and RCM in basilisk lizards throughout their range.","publicationDate":"2019-01-01","doi":"10.3897/herpetozoa.32.e35910","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.32.e35910","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["MX"],"source_details":{"id":69,"name":"Herpetozoa","slug":"herpetozoa","issn_l":"2682-955X","openalex_id":"S4210228833","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210228833","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210228833","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://herpetozoa.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/69/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/herpetozoa/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Suárez-Varón","Gabriel"],"keywords":["clutch size"],"topics":["Amphibian and Reptile Biology","Animal Behavior and Reproduction","Wildlife Ecology and Conservation"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2974027976","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.32.e35910","mag":"2974027976","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W2974027976"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10336,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[30.05,37.63333]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[29.81667,38.2]}]},"bbox":[29.81667,37.63333,30.05,38.2],"properties":{"title":"Body size, age structure and survival rates in two populations of the Beyşehir frog Pelophylax caralitanus","type":"article","abstract":"In many amphibians, skeletochronology is a reliable tool for assessing individual mean longevity, growth rates and age at sexual maturity.

In most cases, locomotor performance is closely related to morphology of the structures responsible for it, which is therefore under strong selective pressure. Hence, limb abnormality could hinder locomotion and, for that reason, be eradicated by selection, which could explain its overall low prevalence that makes proper research difficult. Here, we took advantage of the moderately high prevalence of hindlimb abnormality in a sample of Iberian spadefoot (Pelobates cultripes) metamorphs developed from tadpoles captured and transferred to the laboratory before selection could act against metamorph abnormality. We tested the hypothesis that limb abnormality impairs locomotor performance. Moreover, we measured several larval and metamorph morphometrics, and checked for differences between normal and abnormal-limbed individuals. We also assessed correlations between hindlimb ratio (hindlimb length/SVL) and jumping performance in normal and abnormal-limbed metamorphs. Larval traits measured could not predict hindlimb abnormality. In metamorphs, only hindlimb ratio differed between normal and abnormal-limbed individuals, being shorter in the latter. Abnormal-limbed metamorphs jumped considerably shorter distances than normal-limbed conspecifics. Therefore, selection against reduced locomotor performance could eliminate limb abnormality from populations. Hindlimb ratio was included in the model as a covariable, and thus controlled for. Consequently, other factors besides shorter hindlimbs, probably hindlimb abnormality itself, could play a role in worse jumping capability of abnormal-limbed individuals. Hindlimb ratio was positively related to jumping distance in both groups, although the relationship was weaker in abnormal-limbed metamorphs.","publicationDate":"2019-01-01","doi":"10.3897/herpetozoa.32.e35654","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.32.e35654","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["ES"],"source_details":{"id":69,"name":"Herpetozoa","slug":"herpetozoa","issn_l":"2682-955X","openalex_id":"S4210228833","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210228833","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210228833","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://herpetozoa.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/69/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/herpetozoa/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Zamora-Camacho","Francisco Javier"],"keywords":["anomaly"],"topics":["Amphibian and Reptile Biology","Animal Behavior and Reproduction","Fish Ecology and Management Studies"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2947269932","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.32.e35654","mag":"2947269932","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W2947269932"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10322,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-50.76699,-19.39997]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-50.78192,-19.26439]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-50.59606,-19.19881]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-50.59414,-19.7157]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-49.22917,-20.26306]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-49.22194,-19.93048]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-49.19556,-19.72472]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-48.95058,-19.96215]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-48.87964,-19.4338]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-48.22333,-20.02389]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-48.12556,-19.98111]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-47.89733,-20.09349]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-47.7503,-19.92806]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-47.71049,-19.83077]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-47.71702,-19.65612]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-47.27694,-20.14944]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-49.24844,-18.52961]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-49.15497,-18.64822]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-49.14085,-18.4942]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-48.99655,-18.55654]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-48.62179,-18.66236]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-48.60917,-18.77389]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-48.32761,-18.93632]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-47.98917,-18.44889]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-47.8825,-18.56083]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-47.78889,-18.4425]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-47.6275,-18.38417]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-45.95371,-19.66853]}]},"bbox":[-50.78193,-20.26306,-45.95371,-18.38417],"properties":{"title":"Herpetofauna in a highly endangered area: the Triângulo Mineiro region, in Minas Gerais State, Brazil","type":"article","abstract":"The Brazilian Cerrado and Atlantic Forest shelter an especially rich herpetofauna and experience strong anthropogenic disturbances, which is also true for the western portion of Minas Gerais State.

In total, we captured 172 distinct individuals, 61 whip snakes (Hierophis viridiflavus), 26 barred grass snakes (Natrix helvetica) and 85 asp vipers (Vipera aspis). Regarding the long-term monitoring period, whip snakes were captured on average about nine times per year, grass snakes were captured four times per year and asp vipers were found 12 times per year. Captures decreased in whip snakes, while increased in grass snakes and remained constant in asp vipers. In 2016 and 2017, we captured 10 whip snakes, 19 grass snakes and 31 asp vipers. Density estimates of snake species (0.5 H. viridiflavus/ha, 0.3 N. helvetica/ha and 0.7 V. aspis/ha) differ, to a certain extent, from published results for some other areas of central, northern and western Europe, perhaps depending on the approach applied for habitat suitability estimation. The average body size between two years differed neither for whip snakes nor for grass snakes, but it decreased significantly in asp vipers.","publicationDate":"2019-01-01","doi":"10.3897/herpetozoa.32.e35574","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.32.e35574","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["IT"],"source_details":{"id":69,"name":"Herpetozoa","slug":"herpetozoa","issn_l":"2682-955X","openalex_id":"S4210228833","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210228833","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210228833","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://herpetozoa.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/69/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/herpetozoa/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Storniolo","Federico"],"keywords":["central Mediterranean Italy"],"topics":["Amphibian and Reptile Biology","Wildlife Ecology and Conservation","Species Distribution and Climate Change"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2945745843","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.32.e35574","mag":"2945745843","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W2945745843"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10319,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[16.93222,52.42389]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[16.95556,52.38583]}]},"bbox":[16.93222,52.38583,16.95556,52.42389],"properties":{"title":"Early onset of breeding season in the green toad Bufotes viridis in Western Poland","type":"article","abstract":"Amphibians are highly sensitive to environmental changes such as climate warming.

For phyllomedusid species, the release call might indicate a phylogenetic signal, because species of the same genus have similar acoustic traits.","publicationDate":"2019-01-01","doi":"10.3897/herpetozoa.32.e35729","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.32.e35729","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["BR"],"source_details":{"id":69,"name":"Herpetozoa","slug":"herpetozoa","issn_l":"2682-955X","openalex_id":"S4210228833","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210228833","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210228833","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://herpetozoa.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/69/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/herpetozoa/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Mângia","Sarah"],"keywords":["vocalization"],"topics":["Amphibian and Reptile Biology","Animal Vocal Communication and Behavior","Animal Behavior and Reproduction"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2946507586","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.32.e35729","mag":"2946507586","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W2946507586"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10313,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[47.20806,-22.79806]}]},"bbox":[47.20806,-22.79806,47.20806,-22.79806],"properties":{"title":"A skeletochronological estimate of age and growth in a large riparian frog from Madagascar (Anura, Mantellidae, Mantidactylus)","type":"article","abstract":"We characterized the body size (as snout-vent length), age, sexual size dimorphism, and growth rate in a population of one of the larger riparian frog from Madagascar (Mantidactylus grandidieri) from a rainforest patch close to Vevembe, SE Madagascar.

The proportion of these ingested nutrients has significant influence on larval and post-metamorphic performance.        Here, we use the Common Toad to address the role of diet (exclusively carnivore, exclusively vegetarian and mixed) on growth and development of tadpoles and short-term carry-over effects on post-metamorphic animals. Larvae fed on an exclusively vegetarian diet performed better (faster growth and development) than larvae fed on exclusively carnivore and mixed diets. Larvae fed on the exclusively carnivore diet had the lowest performance. Regarding the carry-over effects of larval diets, although the body condition indices of the toadlets were similar in all treatments, there was a major difference in the survival rate. While toadlets, originating from larvae fed on a vegetarian diet, were more successful and had the lowest mortality, those fed on a carnivore diet had the highest mortality level. Our results suggest that a plant-based diet may contain all the necessary nutrients needed by Bufo bufo larvae. Furthermore, a diet based exclusively on food of animal origin might be detrimental for the larval performance and could have significant carry-over effects on the post-metamorphic animal.","publicationDate":"2019-01-01","doi":"10.3897/herpetozoa.32.e35627","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.32.e35627","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["RO"],"source_details":{"id":69,"name":"Herpetozoa","slug":"herpetozoa","issn_l":"2682-955X","openalex_id":"S4210228833","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210228833","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210228833","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://herpetozoa.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/69/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/herpetozoa/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-herpetozoa.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Craioveanu","Octavian"],"keywords":["Amphibia"],"topics":["Amphibian and Reptile Biology","Animal Behavior and Reproduction","Species Distribution and Climate Change"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2946233367","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/herpetozoa.32.e35627","mag":"2946233367","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W2946233367"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10307,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[72.5,41.83333]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[74.58333,42.86667]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[72.21667,41.35]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[72.46667,41.28333]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[72.95392,41.76822]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[72.97192,40.21325]}]},"bbox":[72.21667,40.21325,74.58333,42.86667],"properties":{"title":"First record of Platyceps rhodorachis (Jan in de Filippi, 1865) from the Alay Mountains, southern Kyrgyzstan","type":"article","abstract":"We report recent observations of Platyceps rhodorachis (Jan in de Filippi, 1865) from Kyrgyzstan and the first species record from the Alay Mountains.

Two new wood-decaying fungal species on Arundo donax, Phlebiopsis arundinacea sp. nov. and Sicyoideibasidia luteocystidia sp. nov. are illustrated and described from Guangxi, southern China. Phlebiopsis arundinacea is characterized by resupinate, membranaceous basidiomata with smooth and grayish brown hymenial surface when fresh, a pseudodimitic hyphal system with simple-septate generative hyphae, the presence of brown skeletocystidia and lamprocystidia, and subcylindrical to oblong-ellipsoid basidiospores. Sicyoideibasidia luteocystidia is characterized by resupinate, membranaceous basidiomata with smooth and white to cream hymenial surface when fresh, a monomitic hyphal system bearing clamp connections on generative hyphae, the presence of fusiform to subulate and slight yellow clavate to capitate cystidia, and ellipsoid, thick-walled basidiospores. The phylogenetic analyses showed that P. arundinacea was closely related to P. crassa, with strong support based on the ITS + nLSU genetic loci.

In the present study, a new wood-inhabiting fungal genus Fissuracium, with its type species, F. ellipsoideum sp. nov., found in southwest China, is proposed based on a combination of morphological features and molecular evidence. The genus Fissuracium is characterized by the resupinate basidiomata with a cracking hymenophore, a monomitic hyphal system with clamped generative hyphae, the presence of cystidioles, and ellipsoid, thick-walled basidiospores. Sequences of the internal transcribed spacers (ITS), nuclear large subunit ribosomal RNA (nLSU), RNA polymerase second largest subunit (rpb2) and translation elongation factor 1-α (tef1-α) of the nuclear ribosomal DNA (rDNA) markers of the studied samples were generated. Phylogenetic analyses were performed using Maximum Likelihood, Maximum Parsimony, and Bayesian Inference. Multi-locus phylogenetic analyses of ITS+nLSU+rpb2+tef1-α showed that Fissuracium forms a monophyletic clade within the family Amylocorticiaceae, which was clustered into the order Amylocorticiales.

Pakistan hosts a diverse representation of this family, particularly species of the genus Inocybe.

Based on the latest published data, the country contains 55 species of Inocybaceae, including 28 of the genus Inocybe, six of Inosperma, ten of Mallocybe, and 11 of Pseudosperma, while no records of Auritella, Nothocybe, or Tubariomyces have been documented in the country to date. Additionally, two new species, Inocybe khalidii and Inocybe floribundae, are described herein based on integrated morphological and multigene phylogenetic analyses. Phylogenetically, I. khalidii forms a distinct and strongly supported clade within the genus, confirming its relationship to allopatric species from Mexico, Japan, and the USA, while I. floribundae forms a well-supported clade within the Xanthomelas group, sister to European I. corsica and I. diabolica. Basidiomata of I. khalidii are differentially characterized by a vivid orange-brown subglabrous pileus, large and broadly ellipsoid to ellipsoid basidiospores, and a near absence of caulocystidia. Basidiomata of I. floribundae are morphologically distinct from their phylogenetic relatives by the beige to brown, distinctly scaly pileus, bulbous but weakly marginate stipe, apically restricted caulocystidia, utriform-obclavate hymenial cystidia, and subisodiametric, bluntly nodulose basidiospores. Morphological descriptions, illustrations, micrographs, and sequences of ITS+LSU- and tef1-based phylogenetic analyses are presented in this article with reference to the newly described species.","publicationDate":"2026-01-01","doi":"10.3897/mycokeys.131.179438","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mycokeys.131.179438","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["PK"],"source_details":{"id":68,"name":"MycoKeys","slug":"mycokeys","issn_l":"1314-4049","openalex_id":"S4210227917","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210227917","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210227917","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://mycokeys.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/68/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/mycokeys/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-mycokeys.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-mycokeys.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":[".","Sana"],"keywords":["Agaricales"],"topics":["Mycorrhizal Fungi and Plant Interactions","Lichen and fungal ecology","Slime Mold and Myxomycetes Research"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W7154689172","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mycokeys.131.179438","pmid":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42038937","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W7154689172"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10248,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[102.76056,25.0755]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[102.75563,25.08165]}]},"bbox":[102.75563,25.0755,102.76056,25.08165],"properties":{"title":"Morpho-phylogenetic evidence reveals novel species (Ascomycota) and new records from the Kunming World Horticultural Expo Garden in Yunnan, China","type":"article","abstract":"Fungi represent a kingdom of life with vast, undiscovered diversity.

Traditionally, these two genera were distinguished by the presence or absence of conidial appendages; however, this morphological character is sometimes plastic and unstable. Previous studies have also shown that internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and large subunit (LSU) sequence data are insufficient for their resolution. In this study, fungal specimens were collected from branches of two rosaceous hosts, Prunus cerasifera and Rosa chinensis, in Xizang, China. Based on morphological examination and multi-locus phylogenetic analyses of a combined ITS, LSU, rpb2, tef1, and tub2 dataset, two new species are revealed and described herein as Sp. bomiensis and Sp. prunicola spp. nov. Furthermore, Seimatosporium parvum, which possesses distinct conidial appendages, is transferred to Sporocadus as Sp. parvus comb. nov. based on strong molecular evidence. Given the limited resolution of ITS and LSU and the instability of conidial appendages, we suggest that five-loci datasets including all accepted species are essential for accurate identification within the Sporocadus–Seimatosporium complex. This study not only expands the species diversity of Sporocadus in high-altitude regions but also provides new insights into the taxonomy and identification of pestalotioid fungi.","publicationDate":"2026-01-01","doi":"10.3897/mycokeys.131.187025","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mycokeys.131.187025","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["CN"],"source_details":{"id":68,"name":"MycoKeys","slug":"mycokeys","issn_l":"1314-4049","openalex_id":"S4210227917","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210227917","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210227917","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://mycokeys.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/68/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/mycokeys/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-mycokeys.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-mycokeys.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Li","Zixuan"],"keywords":["Amphisphaeriales"],"topics":["Plant Pathogens and Fungal Diseases","Yeasts and Rust Fungi Studies","Mycorrhizal Fungi and Plant Interactions"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W7154680924","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mycokeys.131.187025","pmid":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42038936","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W7154680924"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10242,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[99.97444,28.2475]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[99.97389,28.24417]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[99.12194,28.33139]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[120.35361,29.45917]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[106.97333,29.70694]}]},"bbox":[99.12194,28.24417,120.35361,29.70694],"properties":{"title":"New additions to Omphalotaceae (Agaricales, Basidiomycota): two new rhizomorph-forming species from China","type":"article","abstract":"Two new rhizomorph-forming species within the family Omphalotaceae, Gymnopus fuscostipes sp. nov. and Pseudomarasmius brunneodiscus sp. nov., are proposed based on morpho-molecular evidence.

As pivotal contributors to the intricate balance of forest ecosystems, these fungi are renowned as “key players” for their enzymatic prowess and products, which effectively breaks down woody components such as lignin, cellulose, and hemicelluloses. In the present study, a new wood-inhabiting fungal genus Cystidichaete, with its type species C. alba, collected from southwest China, is proposed based on a combination of morphological features and molecular evidence. The new genus Cystidichaete is characterized by the resupinate basidiomata with a smooth hymenophore, a monomitic hyphal system with clamped generative hyphae, abundant lamprocystidia, clavate basidia, and ellipsoid basidiospores. Sequences of the internal transcribed spacers (ITS), nuclear large subunit ribosomal RNA (nLSU), RNA polymerase second largest subunit (rpb2) and translation elongation factor 1-α (tef1-α) of the nuclear ribosomal DNA (rDNA) markers of the studied samples were generated. Phylogenetic analyses were performed using maximum likelihood, maximum parsimony, and Bayesian inference.

Cortinarius orienticroceus is notable for its pileus, which is dark brown at the center and gradually lightens to a pale yellow at the edges; lamellae range from pale yellow to bright yellow, while the stalk is initially silky and shiny, later turning darker with a slight olive tint as it matures. Cortinarius orientisanguineus, on the other hand, features a dry, hemispherical pileus with noticeable fibrous scales, lamellae are reddish-brown, and the veil disappears over time, leaving a reddish-brown ring on the upper to middle part of the stalk. In contrast, Cortinarius subolivaceoluteus presents a pileus that starts papillate and flattens as it matures; the stalk is cinnamon-colored on the upper part, with tawny fibrils and patches below, and has a slightly bulbous base; the veil is cinnamon-colored and vanishes over time.

During an ongoing fungal survey in the dry-hot valleys of Honghe (Yunnan Province, China), five endophytic fungal strains were isolated from healthy roots of A. digitata. Based on multi-locus phylogenetic analyses of four loci (ITS, LSU, SSU, and rpb2), combined with morphological observations, all five strains were identified as belonging to the genus Polyschema. Hence, three novel species are introduced in the present study, namely P. adansoniae-digitatae, P. hongheense, and P. radicicola. This study constitutes the first record of Polyschema from mainland China. Detailed morphological descriptions, illustrations, and phylogenetic placements of the three new species are provided. Additionally, the species diversity, morphology, and phylogeny of Polyschema are updated and discussed. These findings enrich knowledge of endophytic fungal diversity associated with baobab in China and provide insights into the taxonomy and diversity of Polyschema.

Its species grow as dense, black, spongy mats on the surfaces of plant leaves and twigs, typically in association with insect honeydew or plant leachates. Studying Metacapnodiaceae has been challenging because multiple species intermingle in the same small patches of mycelium, and they are difficult to culture or to distinguish by their morphology. Prior to this research, DNA sequences were available for only two species in the family. Here, with the goal of better characterizing species diversity, we determined complete or partial DNA sequence barcodes for ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions for 16 collections of Metacapnodium using a Metacapnodium-specific primer, followed by phylogenetic and morphological analyses. Tapering, moniliform hyphae, cells wider than long, and a distinctive phialidic asexual state were good predictors of membership in a well-supported Metacapnodium clade. Sequences from the 16 collections represent 9 named species of Metacapnodium. Barcoded species include: M. stanhughesii sp. nov., M. vancouverensis, sp. nov. and M. australis comb. nov. Based on morphological characters, we propose M. atro-olivaceus comb. nov., M. novae-zelandiae comb. nov., and M. pacificus comb. nov. We provide a key to identification of 15 species studied. To investigate the deeper phylogenetic relationships of Metacapnodiaceae, we sequenced partial nuclear ribosomal large subunit (LSU) gene regions from five specimens and elongation factor 1-alpha (ef1-α) gene regions from two specimens. In our analysis of concatenated sequences from ribosomal DNA, ef1-α, and from rpb2, the gene encoding the 2nd largest subunit of RNA polymerase II protein, Metacapnodium appeared within the subclass Chaetothyriomycetidae, class Eurotiomycetes with strong support, and as the sister group to Pleostigmataceae but without strong statistical support. Our study adds Metacapnodiaceae to the clades of enigmatic, slow growing fungi of harsh environments with lichenized, lichenicolous, resinicolous and rock-inhabiting niches. Resolving family relationships is relevant to age estimates of Ascomycota, as fossilized Metacapnodium specimens in amber potentially contribute to calibration of divergence times.","publicationDate":"2026-01-01","doi":"10.3897/mycokeys.129.178067","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mycokeys.129.178067","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["US"],"source_details":{"id":68,"name":"MycoKeys","slug":"mycokeys","issn_l":"1314-4049","openalex_id":"S4210227917","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210227917","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210227917","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://mycokeys.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/68/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/mycokeys/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-mycokeys.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-mycokeys.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Aliabadi","Faezeh"],"keywords":["Capnodiales"],"topics":["Plant Pathogens and Fungal Diseases","Lichen and fungal ecology","Yeasts and Rust Fungi Studies"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W7133524322","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mycokeys.129.178067","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W7133524322"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10214,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[105.76528,26.36333]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[108.30833,27.24444]}]},"bbox":[105.76528,26.36333,108.30833,27.24444],"properties":{"title":"Two novel species of Neohelicomyces (Tubeufiaceae, Tubeufiales) from Guizhou Province, China","type":"article","abstract":"During a survey of microfungal diversity in Guizhou Province, southwestern China, four helicosporous taxa were collected and isolated from decaying wood in both freshwater and terrestrial habitats.

Morphological descriptions and illustrations are provided, together with phylogenetic analyses inferred using maximum likelihood (ML) and Bayesian inference (BI). The results expand the known taxonomic diversity of sooty mould fungi in China and provide important morphological and molecular data that support species delimitation and classification within Capnodiales.","publicationDate":"2026-01-01","doi":"10.3897/mycokeys.129.182290","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mycokeys.129.182290","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["CN"],"source_details":{"id":68,"name":"MycoKeys","slug":"mycokeys","issn_l":"1314-4049","openalex_id":"S4210227917","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210227917","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210227917","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://mycokeys.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/68/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/mycokeys/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-mycokeys.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-mycokeys.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Sun","Jipeng"],"keywords":["Capnodiaceae"],"topics":["Mycorrhizal Fungi and Plant Interactions","Plant Pathogens and Fungal Diseases","Lichen and fungal ecology"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W7130502411","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mycokeys.129.182290","pmid":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41766950","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W7130502411"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10207,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[103.74417,25.52472]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[103.74694,25.52667]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[103.2675,25.31583]}]},"bbox":[103.2675,25.31583,103.74694,25.52667],"properties":{"title":"Two novel species belonging to Psathyrella sections Atomatae and Hydrophilae (Psathyrellaceae, Agaricales) from Yunnan Province, China, based on morphological and multi-locus phylogenetic analyses","type":"article","abstract":"This study describes two collections of saprobic gilled mushrooms morphologically identified as Psathyrella and collected in Qujing, Yunnan Province, China.

In this study, several Trichoderma isolates were obtained from ancient P. orientalis in Beijing.

Of these, T. platycladi is a species new to science, whereas T. nordicum and T. obovatum are new host records. Plate antagonism tests showed that representative strains of the four Trichoderma species exhibited significant inhibitory effects against colonies of Alternaria alternata and A. cantlous, the causal agents of leaf blight of ancient P. orientalis. Evaluation of the control effects on 1-year-old P. orientalis seedlings showed that these Trichoderma strains significantly controlled leaf blight, and T. nordicum CGMCC3.28772 exhibited the highest relative control effect under the same inoculation conditions.","publicationDate":"2026-01-01","doi":"10.3897/mycokeys.128.174850","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mycokeys.128.174850","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["CN"],"source_details":{"id":68,"name":"MycoKeys","slug":"mycokeys","issn_l":"1314-4049","openalex_id":"S4210227917","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210227917","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210227917","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://mycokeys.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/68/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/mycokeys/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-mycokeys.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-mycokeys.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Jiao","Ning"],"keywords":["Alternaria leaf blight"],"topics":["Fungal Plant Pathogen Control","Plant-Microbe Interactions and Immunity","Plant Pathogens and Fungal Diseases"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W7130352973","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mycokeys.128.174850","pmid":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41767859","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W7130352973"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10203,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[8.01716,44.0848]}]},"bbox":[8.01716,44.0848,8.01716,44.0848],"properties":{"title":"Natural occurrence of infections of the spittlebug Philaenus spumarius by the entomopathogenic fungi Zoophthora radicans and Batkoa major in Northwest Italy","type":"article","abstract":"An infection event of the spittlebug Philaenus spumarius (Hemiptera, Aphrophoridae) has been described, for the first time, in northwest Italy.

Recent intensive studies, particularly in Asia, have greatly advanced understanding of their taxonomy, diversity, and ecology. Yunnan and Guizhou provinces in southwestern China represent one of the most active regions for freshwater fungal research due to their complex topography, diverse freshwater bodies, and rich biodiversity. As part of a comprehensive investigation of lignicolous freshwater fungi in southwestern China, specimens were collected from rivers and plateau lakes. Multi-gene phylogenetic analyses based on a combined LSU, ITS, SSU, rpb2, and tef1-α dataset revealed that four monotypic genera, Aquimonospora, Multiseptisporium, Paradiplococcium, and Platytrachelon, form a distinct clade within Diaporthomycetidae families incertae sedis and are closely related to Melanascomaceae, Neodictyosporiaceae, Papulosaceae, and Pseudostanjehughesiaceae. Accordingly, a new family, Platytrachelaceae, is proposed to accommodate these genera. In addition, the genus Multiseptisporium is established to accommodate the type species M. aquaticum sp. nov., which produces sporidesmium-like conidia. This study highlights the phylogenetic diversity and morphological complexity of sporidesmium-like taxa and underscores the importance of integrating morphological and phylogenetic evidence to resolve their taxonomic relationships. The findings enrich the known diversity of lignicolous freshwater fungi in Yunnan and Guizhou and provide new insights into their taxonomy and ecological adaptation within freshwater ecosystems.","publicationDate":"2026-01-01","doi":"10.3897/mycokeys.128.180553","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mycokeys.128.180553","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["CN"],"source_details":{"id":68,"name":"MycoKeys","slug":"mycokeys","issn_l":"1314-4049","openalex_id":"S4210227917","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210227917","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210227917","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://mycokeys.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/68/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/mycokeys/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-mycokeys.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-mycokeys.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Shen","Hong Wei"],"keywords":["Lignicolous freshwater fungi"],"topics":["Plant Pathogens and Fungal Diseases","Mycorrhizal Fungi and Plant Interactions","Infectious Diseases and Mycology"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W7127924363","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mycokeys.128.180553","pmid":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41693913","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W7127924363"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10191,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[108.57972,25.41028]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[105.9975,28.36361]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[105.99861,28.36417]}]},"bbox":[105.9975,25.41028,108.57972,28.36417],"properties":{"title":"Two new lichenized species and a new record from Guizhou, China","type":"article","abstract":"Two new lichenized species, Chicitaea yueliangshanensis and Coniocarpon chishuiense are described through the combination of morphological characteristics, chemical profiling and phylogenetic analyses, along with a new geographical record of Synarthonia inconspicua, collected from Guizhou, China.

Further, we discuss reasons that eDNA distributions are often larger than known distributions of basidiomes, including G. alboviscidus and G. fumosus.","publicationDate":"2026-01-01","doi":"10.3897/mycokeys.127.174823","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mycokeys.127.174823","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["CA","GB","US"],"source_details":{"id":68,"name":"MycoKeys","slug":"mycokeys","issn_l":"1314-4049","openalex_id":"S4210227917","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210227917","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210227917","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://mycokeys.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/68/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/mycokeys/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-mycokeys.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-mycokeys.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Harries","David"],"keywords":["Basidiome distributions"],"topics":["Mycorrhizal Fungi and Plant Interactions","Fungal Biology and Applications","Plant Diversity and Evolution"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W7126119662","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mycokeys.127.174823","pmid":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41658339","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W7126119662"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10184,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[104.00154,28.32495]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[104.00307,28.32492]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[104.00321,28.32492]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[104.00286,28.32482]}]},"bbox":[104.00154,28.32482,104.00321,28.32495],"properties":{"title":"Multigene phylogenetic analyses and morpho-anatomical characterization revealed two new species of Xylariomycetidae from Yunnan, China","type":"article","abstract":"During a survey of ascomycetes in Yunnan Province, China, two new wood-inhabiting fungi were collected and identified.

A combined dataset of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS), nuclear large subunit ribosomal DNA (nrLSU), and translation elongation factor 1-alpha (tef1-α) sequences was analyzed using maximum likelihood (ML) and Bayesian inference (BI). Phylogenetic results revealed four major monophyletic clades within Conobolbitina, corresponding to its four sections. In sect. Conobolbitina, new combinations are proposed for two species, Con. sulcata and Con. striipes. In sect. Aeruginosa, Con. atrocyanea is newly combined. For sect.

O. laosensis closely resembles O. muscae but can be distinguished by its elongated perithecial ostioles and large asci and part-spores. Additionally, the asexual morph of O. muscidarum was newly described.

Gibellula pseudosolita differs from its close relatives by producing multiple synnemata per host and possessing smaller conidia. Gibellula sinensis is characterized by shorter conidiophores and smaller conidial heads compared with morphologically similar species. This study presents the first formal record of Gibellula from Laos, significantly expanding the known distribution of the genus in Southeast Asia and contributing to our understanding of its diversity.","publicationDate":"2026-01-01","doi":"10.3897/mycokeys.127.177871","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mycokeys.127.177871","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["CN","LA"],"source_details":{"id":68,"name":"MycoKeys","slug":"mycokeys","issn_l":"1314-4049","openalex_id":"S4210227917","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210227917","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210227917","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://mycokeys.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/68/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/mycokeys/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-mycokeys.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-mycokeys.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Chen-xin","Chang"],"keywords":["Laos"],"topics":["Plant Pathogens and Fungal Diseases","Entomopathogenic Microorganisms in Pest Control","Nail Diseases and Treatments"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W7125269174","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mycokeys.127.177871","pmid":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41625300","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W7125269174"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10173,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[116.23528,30.90889]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[114.14833,26.53944]}]},"bbox":[114.14833,26.53944,116.23528,30.90889],"properties":{"title":"Morphological and molecular data reveal one new species of Coltricia and one new species of Sidera in Hymenochaetales from South China","type":"article","abstract":"Two new poroid species of Hymenochaetales, Coltricia subpusilla and Sidera pini, are described from Anhui Province and Jiangxi Province based on morphological characters and multimarker phylogenetic analyses using a combined ITS, nLSU, and partial tef1 dataset.

Phylogenetic trees, based on ITS and mtSSU loci, were constructed using Maximum Likelihood analysis (ML) and Bayesian Inference (BI) methods. Ochrolechia guizhouensis and O. akagiensis are positioned close to each other in the phylogenetic tree. Ochrolechia guizhouensis is morphologically characterised by its apothecia which feature rugose to rosulate, epruinose discs resembling a floral structure. Chemically, the apothecia contain gyrophoric acid, lecanoric acid and lichesterinic acid, while the thallus contains only gyrophoric acid and lecanoric acid. Phylogenetic analysis reveals that Ochrolechia kuankuoshuiensis is closely related to O. parellula and is distinguished by its light yellow, epruinose, deeply rugose apothecial discs, the production of gyrophoric acid and lecanoric acid and the largest ascospores known in the genus. Ochrolechia leigongshanensis forms an isolated phylogenetic branch which is characterised by a soraliate thallus and apothecia with a ring of smooth, salmon-pink tissue on the inner margin. The discs are epruinose to lightly pruinose and plane. The thallus contains gyrophoric acid, lecanoric acid and a trace of atranorin, while the apothecia contain only gyrophoric acid and lecanoric acid. Additionally, O. subrosella and O. longispora were successfully sequenced for the first time and represent the first records from Guizhou Province. We found one specimen, which phylogenetically groups with O. trochophora, but is characterised by the presence of soralia, indicating that O. trochophora might be morphologically more variable than previously thought.

The newly identified species Amphisphaeria mesuae, A. mimusopis, A. paraserianthis, A. pseudomicheliae, A. pterocarpi, and A. schimae differ from previously known Amphisphaeria species in Amphisphaeriaceae. This distinction is supported by combined analyses using maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference of nuclear ribosomal large subunit rDNA (LSU) and the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequence matrix. Amphisphaeria mesuae can be distinguished from A. ailaoshanensis by the presence of larger ascomata, smaller asci, ellipsoidal ascospores, and the absence of a sheath surrounding the ascospores. Amphisphaeria mimusopis differs from its phylogenetically related sister taxon by possessing smaller asci, larger ascospores, and narrower paraphyses. Amphisphaeria paraserianthis differs from closely related taxa in its ostiolate ascomata and 3-septate ascospores. Amphisphaeria pterocarpi can be distinguished from the taxon with which it clusters by having smaller ascomata and ascospores. Amphisphaeria pseudomicheliae has larger ascomata and asci, but smaller ascospores, compared to its sister taxon, A. micheliae. Amphisphaeria schimae differs from closely related taxa in its larger ascomata, asci, and ascospores. Amphisphaeria micheliae was also collected here and is reported as a new record on Senna siamea.

In this study, we collected two specimens of Gomphus from Guizhou, China; one specimen is described as a new species, Gomphus bijiensis sp. nov. and the other is identified as G. matijun J.W. Liu & F.Q. Yu based on morphological traits and phylogenetic analyses of the nuclear rDNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and nuclear rDNA large subunit (LSU). To resolve their evolutionary relationships we assembled and annotated the mitochondrial genomes of both species using next-generation sequencing. Comparative analyses revealed codon usage strongly biased toward A- or U-ending codons, consistent with the low GC content typical of fungal mitochondria. Variation in protein-coding gene lengths and base composition suggests that diverse evolutionary pressures have shaped these genomes. Divergence time estimation indicates that morphological diversity within Gomphus and related macrofungi has largely resulted from convergent evolution. Phylogenetic reconstruction places G. bijiensis and G. matijun within a distinct clade, supporting their close evolutionary affinity and the coexistence of ancestral and derived traits. This study provides the first comprehensive mitochondrial genomic data for Gomphus, offering new insights into its taxonomy, phylogeny, and evolutionary dynamics, and establishing a framework for future studies within the Gomphaceae.","publicationDate":"2025-01-01","doi":"10.3897/mycokeys.124.158670","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mycokeys.124.158670","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["CN"],"source_details":{"id":68,"name":"MycoKeys","slug":"mycokeys","issn_l":"1314-4049","openalex_id":"S4210227917","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210227917","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210227917","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://mycokeys.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/68/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/mycokeys/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-mycokeys.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-mycokeys.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Wang","Xianyi"],"keywords":["Clavarioid fungi"],"topics":["Mycorrhizal Fungi and Plant Interactions","Yeasts and Rust Fungi Studies","Genomics and Phylogenetic Studies"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4416186845","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mycokeys.124.158670","pmid":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41280737","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4416186845"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10131,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[98.7855,25.2996]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[98.4506,25.2936]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[98.7926,24.7793]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[98.5594,25.7456]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[98.7931,24.7789]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[98.6108,24.9478]}]},"bbox":[98.4506,24.7789,98.7931,25.7456],"properties":{"title":"Four new species of Entoloma subgen.

Detailed descriptions and illustrations of both species are provided, and the ecological functions of their habitats are also discussed.","publicationDate":"2025-01-01","doi":"10.3897/mycokeys.124.172775","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mycokeys.124.172775","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["CN"],"source_details":{"id":68,"name":"MycoKeys","slug":"mycokeys","issn_l":"1314-4049","openalex_id":"S4210227917","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210227917","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210227917","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://mycokeys.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/68/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/mycokeys/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-mycokeys.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-mycokeys.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Peng","Lu-Yao"],"keywords":["Aspergillaceae"],"topics":["Fungal Biology and Applications","Mycorrhizal Fungi and Plant Interactions","Mycotoxins in Agriculture and Food"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4415813187","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mycokeys.124.172775","pmid":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41230498","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4415813187"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10124,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[103.71388,31.2024]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[108.06505,33.59602]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[104.52268,32.6205]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[103.08982,29.87899]}]},"bbox":[103.08983,29.87899,108.06505,33.59602],"properties":{"title":"Four new species of Trichoderma (Hypocreaceae, Hypocreales) discovered in the staple food bamboo of pandas","type":"article","abstract":"Trichoderma fungi are significant saprophytic resources in nature, with only a minority of species documented as pathogenic fungi. Due to their widespread distribution, this genus of fungi has attracted considerable attention in recent years. During an investigation of fungal resources within the staple food bamboo species for giant pandas in China conducted from 2023 to 2024, a high diversity of Trichoderma species was observed. In this study, eight collected specimens were compared morphologically with known species, and DNA sequence analysis was performed using a multi-gene (ITS, tef1-α, and rpb2) dataset to establish phylogenetic relationships, ultimately leading to the identification of four Trichoderma species. The research uncovered four novel Trichoderma species: Trichoderma bashania, T. fargesia, T. mianyangensis and T. yaanensis. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that each of these new species forms a distinct lineage, with Trichoderma bashania, T. fargesia, T. mianyangensis and T. yaanensis all belonging to the Koningii section. All these newly identified species were isolated from the litter of the staple food bamboo species for giant pandas. This study provides morphological descriptions and illustrations of these four new species, along with DNA phylogenetic relationships based on the analysis of the multi-gene dataset. The findings indicate that Trichoderma fungi are widely present in the ecosystem of the staple food bamboo species for giant pandas and warrant close attention.","publicationDate":"2025-01-01","doi":"10.3897/mycokeys.124.163233","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mycokeys.124.163233","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["CN"],"source_details":{"id":68,"name":"MycoKeys","slug":"mycokeys","issn_l":"1314-4049","openalex_id":"S4210227917","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210227917","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210227917","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://mycokeys.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/68/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/mycokeys/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-mycokeys.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-mycokeys.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Wang","Feihu"],"keywords":["Morphology"],"topics":["Plant Pathogens and Fungal Diseases","Bamboo properties and applications","Fungal Infections and Studies"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4415813253","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mycokeys.124.163233","pmid":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41356769","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4415813253"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10123,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[20.85,69.03333]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[20.83333,69.03333]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[23.95,60.25]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[23.86667,60.25]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[24.1,60.25]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[24.03333,60.25]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[24.33333,60.48333]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[23.81667,60.23333]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[23.4,60.13333]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[21.4,60.13333]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[23.61667,60.3]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[21.53333,60.3]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[22.68333,60]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[22.73333,60]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[23.65,60.38333]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[29,61.93333]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[28.35,63.2]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[28.6,63.15]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[24.06667,63.15]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[29.08333,64.53333]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[29.31667,66.36667]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[29.05,66.36667]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[29.33333,66.36667]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[29.41667,66.36667]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[29.45,66.25]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[29.43333,66.25]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[29.18333,66.43333]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[29.15,66.43333]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[28.73333,66.1]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[21.5,69.18333]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[21.43333,69.18333]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[21.48333,69.18333]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[29.4,66.26667]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[29.36667,66.26667]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[29.51667,66.26667]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[22.76667,60.05]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[21.43333,60.15]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[21.53333,60.28333]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[22.28333,60.28333]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[23.61667,60.35]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[22.3,60.18333]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[29.15,66.41667]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[29.13333,66.41667]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[29.16667,66.41667]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[21.43333,69.2]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[21.46667,69.2]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[23.51667,60.2]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[28.91667,66.7]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[29.31667,66.35]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[20.8,69.05]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[23.78333,60.21667]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[22.96667,60.1]}]},"bbox":[20.8,60.0,29.51667,69.2],"properties":{"title":"Unexpected species richness of the lichen genus Protoblastenia (Lecanorales, Psoraceae) in Finland","type":"article","abstract":"The taxonomy of Protoblastenia in Finland was studied, based on morphology and molecular data (nuITS rDNA sequences).

novel fungal lineages: formal description based on environmental samples and DNA","type":"article","abstract":"Molecular analyses of soil and water commonly reveal large proportions of fungal taxa that cannot be assigned to any taxonomic or functional groups. Some of these so-called dark taxa have been encoded alphanumerically, while others have remained completely overlooked. Using long-read sequencing that covers much of the ribosomal RNA operon, we shed light on the phylogenetic and ecological distribution of fungal dark taxa and formally describe 30 of the most prominent phylum- to order-level lineages based on their characteristic DNA features. This increases the known large-scale fungal phylogenetic diversity by roughly one-third. Formal names will enhance taxonomic reproducibility, facilitate communication among researchers, and enable the estimation of conservation and quarantine needs for uncultivable species and higher-ranking taxa.

In recent years, dieback of branches and foliage in cypress has been widespread in the Ming Tombs area of Beijing, yet the associated ascomycetous fungi remain unidentified. During an investigation of the species of ascomycetes associated with three cypress species (Juniperus chinensis, J. procumbens, and Platycladus orientalis) in the Ming Tombs area of Beijing, 22 fungal strains were isolated from withered branches and diseased leaves to healthy strobili and mature cones. Based on integrated morphological and multi-gene phylogenetic analyses, these strains were identified as 13 fungal species belonging to 8 genera.

By providing detailed morphological and molecular data, this study lays a foundation for future research on species diversity and diseases of palm plants.","publicationDate":"2025-01-01","doi":"10.3897/mycokeys.123.165471","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mycokeys.123.165471","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["CN"],"source_details":{"id":68,"name":"MycoKeys","slug":"mycokeys","issn_l":"1314-4049","openalex_id":"S4210227917","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210227917","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210227917","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://mycokeys.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/68/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/mycokeys/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-mycokeys.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-mycokeys.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Lin","Zhou"],"keywords":["Ascomycota"],"topics":["Plant Pathogens and Fungal Diseases","Mycorrhizal Fungi and Plant Interactions","Forest Insect Ecology and Management"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4414488997","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mycokeys.123.165471","pmid":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41048881","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4414488997"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10095,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[101.52512,24.08528]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[101.52923,24.09115]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[103.99127,28.29314]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[103.99648,28.2991]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[108.04784,21.97163]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[108.04566,21.99368]}]},"bbox":[101.52512,21.97163,108.04784,28.2991],"properties":{"title":"Two new species of Nigropunctata and the first report of sexual morph of Melanographium citri (Pallidoperidiaceae, Xylariales) from south-western China","type":"article","abstract":"In our ongoing survey of xylarialean fungi in southern China, we obtained specimens of Nigropunctata and Melanographium from bamboo and palm, respectively.

In this study, we describe two novel saprobic fungi Sporocadus changchunensis and S. crataegicola. The novelty of these species is supported by both morphological characteristics and analyses using maximum likelihood (ML) and Bayesian inference (BI). Sporocadus crataegicola formed a distinct clade from S. changchunensis and S. rotundatus with 98% ML and 1.00 BPP statistical support, and the morphological character of S. crataegicola is remarkable in its distinguishable shape of ascospores and fewer septa. Sporocadus changchunensis differs from S. italicus, which was also found on Crataegus, by its narrower ostiolar canal, wider hamathecium, and smaller asci. The internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region, the large subunit (LSU) of ribosomal DNA, the RNA polymerase II subunit (rpb2), the translation elongation factor 1-alpha (tef1-α), and β-tubulin (tub2) genes were used for the phylogenetic analyses. An inoculation experiment was also performed to determine the possibility of latent pathogens on C. pinnatifida. The inoculation experiment showed that the species caused black spots on the mature leaves of hawthorn.

These eight strains were identified as members of the family Herpotrichiellaceae using a combination of three nuclear ribosomal regions (ITS, LSU, and SSU), tub2 sequence data, and morphological characteristics. Two strains of Atrokylindriopsis racemosospora and three strains of Veronaea endolichena were identified as new species within the Herpotrichiellaceae, while three other strains were identified as the previously known species Phialophora chinensis. This study provides the first report of P. chinensis as an endolichenic fungal taxon and its first discovery in Thailand.

Recent DNA sequencing and morphological analyses of specimens from New Zealand, deposited in the New Zealand Fungarium (PDD), have revealed that all local collections previously identified as C. torta or C. versiformis represent three distinct species, two of them previously unnamed. These species include C. olivacea, originally described from Tasmania, together with the newly named C. australis and C. northlandica. Chlorencoelia australis has been found in both Australia and New Zealand. These species exhibit subtle yet unique morphological characteristics, including differences in ascospore size and shape, lipid body arrangements, the shape of tomentum hyphae, and the colour of refractive vacuolar bodies in the paraphyses and tomentum hyphae. Phylogenetic analyses confirm the divergence of these New Zealand and Australian species from previously described taxa. This study underscores the hidden diversity within Chlorencoelia and highlights the importance of integrating genetic and morphological data to refine fungal taxonomy.","publicationDate":"2025-01-01","doi":"10.3897/mycokeys.119.152958","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mycokeys.119.152958","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["NZ"],"source_details":{"id":68,"name":"MycoKeys","slug":"mycokeys","issn_l":"1314-4049","openalex_id":"S4210227917","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210227917","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210227917","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://mycokeys.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/68/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/mycokeys/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-mycokeys.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-mycokeys.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Patejuk","Katarzyna"],"keywords":["Ascomycota"],"topics":["Plant Pathogens and Fungal Diseases","Mycorrhizal Fungi and Plant Interactions","Yeasts and Rust Fungi Studies"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4412573025","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mycokeys.119.152958","pmid":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40741422","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4412573025"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10044,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[106.71,26.58083]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[109.68194,18.28917]}]},"bbox":[106.71,18.28917,109.68194,26.58083],"properties":{"title":"Yamadazyma akebiae sp. nov. and Y. hainanensis sp. nov.

This study is an integrative approach, combining morphological characteristics and molecular analyses using nrITS and two-locus (nrITS-nrLSU) phylogenetic estimation. For the latter, we tested phylogenetic lineages of publicly available nrITS sequences and six samples from Thailand. Our phylogenies have revealed that Thai samples are placed in three phylogenetic clades, in which one of them is proposed as a new species, L. polyhabitata, whereas L. variicystis is reported for the first time from Thailand, suggesting a broader distribution of this species in the tropical region. Another species, L. cf. epia, has been critically analyzed for its affinity towards L. epia. All studied species are placed in phylogenetic clades with a multitude of collections from different continents, which suggests the evidence of intercontinental conspecificity across tropical and subtropical regions.","publicationDate":"2025-01-01","doi":"10.3897/mycokeys.118.144986","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mycokeys.118.144986","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["TH"],"source_details":{"id":68,"name":"MycoKeys","slug":"mycokeys","issn_l":"1314-4049","openalex_id":"S4210227917","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210227917","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210227917","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://mycokeys.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/68/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/mycokeys/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-mycokeys.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-mycokeys.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Bera","Ishika"],"keywords":["Agaricales"],"topics":["Mycorrhizal Fungi and Plant Interactions","Fungal Biology and Applications","Lichen and fungal ecology"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4411237262","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mycokeys.118.144986","pmid":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40546436","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4411237262"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10022,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[98.0483,24.3656]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[98.04976,24.3576]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[98.23517,24.7544]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[98.25513,24.73168]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[105.79328,26.19548]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[105.82662,26.19123]}]},"bbox":[98.0483,24.3576,105.82662,26.19548],"properties":{"title":"Three new species of Sanguinoderma (Ganodermataceae, Basidiomycota) from Southwest China revealed by morphology and phylogenetic analysis","type":"article","abstract":"Sanguinoderma (Ganodermataceae) is an economically significant genus with notable medicinal value.

The identification of two new species, Paragibellulopsis sinensis and Phialoparvum sinense, was achieved by analyzing morphological characteristics and phylogenetic data obtained from four molecular markers (ITS, LSU, rpb2, and tef-1α). Morphologically, Pa. sinensis possessed short conidiogenous cells and aseptate and smaller conidia. On the other hand, Ph. sinense had obovate conidia and longer phialides.

Erysiphe, a taxonomically significant group within the genus Erysiphe, is distinguished from other Erysiphe sections by its mycelioid chasmothecial appendages. While approximately half of the known species in this section occur in China, our preliminary assessments suggest that a substantial number of cryptic taxa remain undetected. To address this knowledge gap, we conducted a comprehensive phylogeographic survey evaluating 78 specimens collected from 18 provinces (municipalities/autonomous regions) across China. Our integrative approach combined morphological characterization with molecular phylogenetic analyses using five DNA loci: internal transcribed spacer (ITS), 28S rDNA, intergenic spacer (IGS), RNA polymerase II subunit 2 (RPB2), and β-tubulin (TUB). This study led to the discovery of three newly described species (E. clematidis sp. nov. on Clematis spp., E. limoniicola sp. nov. on Limonium spp., and E. paeoniae-suffruticosae sp. nov. on Paeonia × suffruticosa and two newly recorded species from China (E. malvae on Malva pusilla and E. punicae on Punica granatum).

Endolichenic fungi, which thrive within lichen thalli, have emerged as a promising source of bioactive compounds, with the ability to synthesise a variety of metabolites with biopharmaceutical potential. In this study, four isolates of endolichenic fungi isolated from Usnea spp. were identified using comprehensive multi-gene phylogenetic analyses. These isolates were evaluated for their anticancer, antifungal, and antibacterial properties, as well as for their ability to produce extracellular enzymes. Our findings revealed that the isolates represent four novel species, named as Amphisphaeria falcata, Kirschsteiniothelia tumidula, Neoroussoella annulata, and Veronaea brunneicolor. Our screening assay showed N. annulata and V. brunneicolor exhibited cytotoxic effects against the H460 human lung cancer cell line, with moderate inhibitory activity at a concentration of 100 μg/mL. The four fungal isolates exhibited distinct antifungal profiles against phytopathogens: Amphisphaeria falcata specifically inhibited Fusarium graminearum, while Veronaea brunneicolor showed broad-spectrum activity against Botrytis cinerea, F. graminearum, and Alternaria alternata. No antibacterial effects were detected in any isolates. These fungi exhibited a diverse array of extracellular enzyme activities, including amylase, protease, gelatinase, glucose oxidase, and cellulase. Collectively, these results underscore the considerable biotechnological potential of endolichenic fungi as sources of bioactive compounds with applications in drug discovery, agriculture, and environmental management. These findings also highlight the ecological importance of endolichenic fungi, suggesting that they may play multifaceted roles in lichen symbioses and their environments. Continued exploration of these fungi is essential for unlocking their full pharmacological and industrial potential.","publicationDate":"2025-01-01","doi":"10.3897/mycokeys.118.155248","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mycokeys.118.155248","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["CN"],"source_details":{"id":68,"name":"MycoKeys","slug":"mycokeys","issn_l":"1314-4049","openalex_id":"S4210227917","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210227917","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210227917","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://mycokeys.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/68/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/mycokeys/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-mycokeys.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-mycokeys.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Chang","Runlei"],"keywords":["Anticancer activity"],"topics":["Lichen and fungal ecology","Plant Pathogens and Fungal Diseases","Mycorrhizal Fungi and Plant Interactions"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4410957521","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mycokeys.118.155248","pmid":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40496201","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4410957521"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":10007,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[108.11667,27.11667]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[104.13333,28.43333]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[99.9,22.53333]}]},"bbox":[99.9,22.53333,108.11667,28.43333],"properties":{"title":"Papiliomyces sinensis (Clavicipitaceae) and Paraisaria pseudoarcta (Ophiocordycipitaceae), two new species parasitizing Lepidopteran insects from southwestern China","type":"article","abstract":"Cordyceps sensu lato species are highly important for medicinal purposes and functional food nutrients.

This disease poses a significant risk factor for forest health, potentially leading to economic losses for wood producers. To provide a genomic basis of the CC pathogenesis, the genomes of two Cytospora species associated with the disease were sequenced and further analyzed within a set of Diaporthales species. The first species was identified as C. piceae. The second was described as C. piceicola sp. nov. based on morphological characteristics and multi-gene phylogenetic analysis. The novel species is sister to other Cytospora species isolated from conifers. Here, we report 39.7 and 43.8 Mb highly contiguous genome assemblies of C. piceae EI-19(A) and C. piceicola EI-20, respectively, obtained using Illumina sequencing technology. Despite notably different genome sizes, these species share the main genome characteristics, such as predicted gene number (10,862 and 10,742) and assembly completeness (97.6% and 98.1%). A wide range of genes encoding carbohydrate-active enzymes, secondary metabolite biosynthesis clusters, and secreted effectors were found. Multiple experimentally validated virulence genes were also identified in the studied species. The defined arsenals of enzymes and effectors generally relate to the hemibiotrophic lifestyle with a capability to switch to biotrophy. The obtained evidence also supports that C. piceae EI-19(A) and C. piceicola EI-20 can cause severe canker disease symptoms in Picea spp. specifically. It was additionally observed that the strains of C. piceae may have different pathogenicity and virulence characteristics based on the analyses of predicted secondary metabolite complements, effectomes, and virulence-related genes. Phylogenomic analysis and timetree estimations indicated that divergence of the studied species may have occurred relatively late, 11-10 million years ago. Compared to other members of Diaporthales, C. piceae EI-19(A) and C. piceicola EI-20 implied a moderate rate of gene contraction, but the latter experienced significant gene loss that can additionally support host specificity attributed to these species. But uncovered gene contraction events may point out potential lifestyle differentiation and host shift of the studied species. It was revealed that EI-19(A) and C. piceicola EI-20 carry distinct secretomes and effectomes among Diaporthales species. This feature can indicate a species lifestyle and pathogenicity potential. These findings highlight potential targets for identification and/or detection of pathogenic Cytospora in conifers. The introduced draft genome sequences of C. piceae and C. piceicola can be employed as tools to understand basic genetics and pathogenicity mechanisms of fungal species causing canker disease in woody plants. The identified pathogenicity and virulence-related genes would serve as potential candidates for host-induced gene silencing aimed at making plant hosts more resistant to pathogenic species. Furthermore, the comparative genomics component of the study will facilitate the functional analysis of the genes of unknown function in all fungal pathogens.","publicationDate":"2025-01-01","doi":"10.3897/mycokeys.117.145445","url":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mycokeys.117.145445","timeperiod_startdate":[null],"timeperiod_enddate":[null],"placename":null,"country_codes":["CA"],"source_details":{"id":68,"name":"MycoKeys","slug":"mycokeys","issn_l":"1314-4049","openalex_id":"S4210227917","openalex_url":"https://openalex.org/S4210227917","publisher_name":"Pensoft Publishers","works_count":null,"works_api_url":"https://api.openalex.org/works?filter=primary_location.source.id:S4210227917","default_work_type":"article","source_type":"oai-pmh","source_type_display":"OAI-PMH (generic)","homepage_url":"https://mycokeys.pensoft.net/","abbreviated_title":null,"is_oa":true,"is_preprint":false,"source_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/sources/68/","landing_page_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/in/mycokeys/","feed_georss_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-mycokeys.rss","feed_atom_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/feeds/source-mycokeys.atom","collection":{"identifier":"pensoft-publishers","name":"Pensoft Publishers","collection_url":"https://optimap.geo.tu-dresden.de/api/v1/collections/pensoft-publishers/"},"latest_coverage":null},"status":"p","status_display":"Published","authors":["Ilyukhin","Evgeny"],"keywords":["Carbohydrate-active enzymes"],"topics":["Plant Pathogens and Fungal Diseases","Yeasts and Rust Fungi Studies","Plant-Microbe Interactions and Immunity"],"bok_concepts":null,"bok_concepts_resolved":[],"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4410095021","openalex_match_info":null,"openalex_fulltext_origin":"journal","openalex_is_retracted":false,"openalex_ids":{"doi":"https://doi.org/10.3897/mycokeys.117.145445","pmid":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40364895","openalex":"https://openalex.org/W4410095021"},"openalex_open_access_status":"gold","locations":[]}},{"id":9997,"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"Point","coordinates":[21.65,36.95]}]},"bbox":[21.65,36.95,21.65,36.95],"properties":{"title":"Paracorymbiglomus gen. nov., Diversispora conica sp. nov., and new combinations in Diversisporaceae (Glomeromycota)","type":"article","abstract":"The paper presents the results of morphological studies, as well as comparisons and phylogenetic analyses of sequences of the 45S (= 18S-ITS-28S) nuc rDNA region and the rpb1 gene (when available) of four arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) of the phylum Glomeromycota.

Phylogenetic analysis indicates its close relation with Septomelanconiella, but they differ in the morphology of the conidia. Additionally, our analysis of Melanconiellaceae led to the reclassification of Melanconiella loropetali to Sinodiscula loropetali and synonymizing Sinodiscula camellicola and Melanconiella camelliae. This paper also introduces two other novel species: Peroneutypa hibisci, a saprobe found on Hibiscus tiliaceus and Pseudochaetosphaeronema bruguierae from Bruguiera cylindrica, the first species in this genus reported as a mangrove fungus.

Clinically, it is commonly used to treat osteoporosis, rheumatism, hypertension, and cardiovascular diseases. During 2023 to 2024, a disease suspected to be anthracnose was observed to be infecting the bases of Epimedium seedlings in Bibo Town, Kaili City, Guizhou Province. In the fall, the disease incidence reached 90%, with severe infection resulting in total desiccation and foliage death. Tissue isolation and single-conidium methods were used to identify and isolate the pathogens, which were determined to be two anthracnose strains. Multi-locus phylogenetic analysis using ITS, gapdh, act, tub2, chs-1, his3, and cal, and morphological observations of representative isolates indicated that the two isolated fungal strains were new species belonging to the genus Colletotrichum, namely Colletotrichum epimedii and Colletotrichum sagittati. Pathogenicity tests, adhering to Koch’s postulates, confirmed that both fungi could infect E. sagittatum; C. epimedii exhibited a higher pathogenicity than C. sagittati.
