A total of 114 individuals, representing 19 species belonging to four families, were recorded. The Rhinolophidae family was the most species-rich, contributing eight species to the total diversity, followed by Hipposideridae, with four species. Eight species, including Rhinolophus episcopus, R. siamensis, R. cf. episcopus, R. perniger, Hipposideros griffini, Megaerops niphanae, Tylonycteris tonkinensis and Myotis muricola, were newly recorded for Xuan Nha NR. Species richness was high, but evenness was low, with Hipposideros poutensis and Rhinolophus pearsonii dominating captures. Eleven species were observed, represented by only one individual. The morphological examinations, with support from echolocation calls and preliminary genetic analysis, revealed the presence of morphologically conserved and potentially cryptic taxa. Reproductive data indicated early wet-season breeding for several species. Compared to previous surveys in the region, our study substantially expands the knowledge of chiropteran fauna in Xuan Nha. Given the high proportion of habitat-specialist and montane-associated species and the documented presence of a conservation-priority taxon, Hipposideros griffin, in Xuan Nha NR, continued biodiversity surveys incorporating molecular and acoustic methods are essential to refine species inventories and to provide information for conservation strategies for this biologically important landscape."},{"authors":[{"firstName":"Yuyan","lastName":"Chen"},{"firstName":"Nico","lastName":"Lang"},{"firstName":"B.

Indeed, some 90% of Earth’s species are estimated to be completely unknown. Machine learning has recently emerged as a promising tool to facilitate long-term, largescale biodiversity monitoring, including algorithms for fine-grained classification of species from images. However, such algorithms typically are not designed to detect examples from categories unseen during training – the problem of open-set recognition (OSR) – limiting their applicability for highly diverse, poorly studied taxa such as insects. To address this gap, we introduce Open-Insect, a largescale, fine-grained dataset to evaluate unknown species detection across different geographic regions with varying difficulty. We benchmark 38 OSR algorithms across three categories: post-hoc, training-time regularization, and training with auxiliary data, finding that simple post-hoc approaches remain a strong baseline. We also demonstrate how to leverage auxiliary data to improve species discovery in regions with limited data. Our results provide insights to guide the development of computer vision methods for biodiversity monitoring and species discovery."},{"authors":[{"firstName":"Nakatada","lastName":"Wachi"},{"firstName":"Yosuke","lastName":"Yoshida"}],"countriesOfCoverage":["JP"],"countriesOfResearcher":["JP"],"publishingCountry":["BR"],"added":"2026-03-26T13:47:24.938+00:00","published":"2025-11-05","day":5,"gbifDownloadKey":[],"gbifOccurrenceKey":[],"gbifTaxonKey":[11330578],"gbifHigherTaxonKey":[1,5080942,1566547,54,216,9497,811],"gbifNetworkKey":[],"gbifProjectIdentifier":[],"gbifProgramme":[],"citationType":"DOI","gbifRegion":["ASIA"],"id":"8abf052a-5c6c-319e-b8d1-68b95fcb6452","identifiers":{"doi":"10.15560/21.6.1067"},"keywords":["Biogeography","East Asia","Leptomydinae","Yaeyama Islands","citizen science","habitat preference","rare species"],"language":"eng","literatureType":"JOURNAL","month":11,"notes":"No specific funding information provided.","openAccess":true,"peerReview":true,"publisher":"Pensoft Publishers","relevance":["GBIF_PUBLISHED"],"source":"Check List","tags":["2025","GBIF_published","JP","JP_biodiversity","Species_distributions","citation_scope:ok","citation_type:DOI","gbifDOI:10.15468/w2pwfk","gbifTaxon:11330578","lit_source:gs","open_access:TRUE","peer_review:TRUE"],"title":"Recent additional records of the little-known mydas fly, Nemomydas gruenbergi (Hermann, 1914) (Diptera, Mydidae), from Iriomote Island, southern Japan, with the first documentation of mating and oviposition","topics":["SPECIES_DISTRIBUTIONS"],"modified":"2026-03-26T13:47:24.938+00:00","websites":["https://doi.org/10.15560/21.6.1067"],"year":2025,"abstract":"Mydas flies (Diptera, Mydidae) are primarily found in arid and semi-arid regions, with few records from East Asia.

It is considered a significant threat to agriculture, particularly the viticulture industry, and its further spread into new areas could exacerbate its economic impact. Species Distribution Models (SDMs) are commonly used to analyze the distribution of invasive species, and while L.delicatula has already been studied using this spatial modeling approach, previous research has mostly focused on the effects of bioclimatic variables, often overlooking the role of habitat characteristics, including the presence of host plants. In our study, to assess the presence of other suitable habitats for the species on a global scale, we developed a two-step SDM calibrated within its native range, within biogeographic barriers. In the first step, we built two separate models: one for habitat suitability (HSM), incorporating land cover, elevation, and host plants, and another for bioclimatic suitability (BSM). The HSM calibration included the allocation of a portion of pseudo-absences (PAs) along background points (BPs) to mitigate the sampling bias of occurrences concentrated in highly urbanized areas (one bias-controlled PA for every four random BPs). In contrast, the BSM calibration was performed using a fully random allocation of BPs. In the second step, the two models were combined to produce an overall suitability map for the native range, which demonstrated excellent validation performance. When projected globally, the model confirmed that the species has already colonized suitable areas. Beyond the currently invaded regions (i.e., North America and East Asia), the model identifies additional colonizable areas exclusively in Europe. To evaluate the invasion dynamics in both currently invaded regions and potential future invasion areas in Europe, we developed a resistance-distance constrained dispersal model based on a) environmental resistance, derived from the overall suitability map produced by the SDM, and b) intrinsic dispersal distance, estimated from the temporal progression of occurrences in the primary invasion area in the eastern United States. The maximum annual dispersal distance was estimated to be approximately 25 kilometers. Given its relatively low annual dispersal capacity, the species appears capable of naturally spreading within areas of medium to high suitability, while its potential for expansion into low-suitability areas remains quite limited. Medium- and high-suitability regions where the species is already present are likely to undergo significant colonization over the next 10 years. In contrast, adventive populations in low-suitability areas seem unable to expand successfully without human-mediated translocations. In the absence of an adaptive capacity to thrive in ecological contexts different from its native range (niche change or niche shift), the species appears to be a relatively modest invader beyond its currently invaded areas or Europe. Successfully managing the invasion of L.delicatula therefore depends on the implementation of early detection and eradication measures, which should be deployed as promptly as possible, especially in highly suitable introduction areas."},{"authors":[{"firstName":"Jahnavi","lastName":"Joshi"},{"firstName":"Pritha","lastName":"Dey"},{"firstName":"Ashwini V","lastName":"Mohan"},{"firstName":"Vijay","lastName":"Barve"},{"firstName":"Guntupalli V R","lastName":"Prasad"},{"firstName":"Anjali","lastName":"Goswami"},{"firstName":"Sandeep","lastName":"Pulla"},{"firstName":"Navendu","lastName":"Page"},{"firstName":"Ishan","lastName":"Agarwal"},{"firstName":"Kartik","lastName":"Shanker"},{"firstName":"K Praveen","lastName":"Karanth"},{"firstName":"Uma","lastName":"Ramakrishnan"},{"firstName":"Devapriya","lastName":"Chattopadhyay"}],"countriesOfCoverage":["IN"],"countriesOfResearcher":["CH","IN","US","GB"],"publishingCountry":["DK","EE","GB","IL","FR","SI","BT","ID","DE","AU","CR","NP","CH","PL","BR","NZ","IN","FI","ES","PK","AR","IT","CZ","TW","MX","MY","NI","CO","KR","TT","CN","TZ","US","RU","ZZ","GT","BG","NO","JP","MA","SE","NL","GH","NG","UA","VE","ZA","AM","BE","LU","CA","PH","PT","AT","KE"],"added":"2026-03-26T13:42:40.901+00:00","published":"2025-08-25","day":25,"gbifDownloadKey":["0029124-250426092105405","0026869-250426092105405"],"gbifOccurrenceKey":[],"gbifTaxonKey":[],"gbifHigherTaxonKey":[],"gbifNetworkKey":["8534dd20-c368-4a1f-bdaf-e6b390710f89","1f2c0cbe-40df-43f6-ba07-e76133e78c31","3aee7756-565e-4dc5-b22c-f997fbd7105c","99d66b6c-9087-452f-a9d4-f15f2c2d0e7e","379a0de5-f377-4661-9a30-33dd844e7b9a","68e8e67a-43e6-44a3-8817-dc0e6b70f973","17abcf75-2f1e-46dd-bf75-a5b21dd02655","80edc711-19b9-464c-a8b3-2cc15be80e26","8e30b684-6a54-4aba-aa73-66201c2c736e","4b0d8edb-7504-42c4-9349-63e86c01bf97","d1627240-04ab-4162-aee9-b16df6bc8308","0479d6b2-a4f4-4307-8346-0b80e8c88c66","2b7c7b4f-4d4f-40d3-94de-c28b6fa054a6"],"gbifProjectIdentifier":["n/a","BIFA4_052","PNRR Project IR0000032 | CNR SAC.AD002.173","BIFA3_47","Herbarium Pomeranicum","BID-AF2017-0226-NAC","BID-AF2015-0134-REG","PNRR Project IR0000032 || CNR-DiSBA no.

Its unique geological history, once part of Gondwana and later colliding with Asia, has profoundly shaped its biota, resulting in high levels of endemism and evolutionary distinctiveness. Despite a deep cultural reverence for nature, much of India’s biodiversity, its distribution, evolutionary origins, and future trajectory remain poorly understood. At the heart of shaping a resilient future for biodiversity science in India lies the urgent need for a modern, accessible, and integrated biodiversity research. Here, we assess the current state of biodiversity science in India, drawing from taxonomic and biogeographical studies that rely heavily on natural history collections. For many taxa and ecosystems, data remain scarce or outdated, often based on collections from the 19th and 20th centuries, with critical gaps in molecular, distributional, and phenotypic trait information. Existing data are frequently fragmented, inaccessible, or poorly integrated. These limitations hinder the ability to understand biogeographical patterns or monitor biodiversity change during the Anthropocene. We argue that a national institution dedicated to biodiversity research is urgently needed to coordinate the documentation, analysis, and conservation of India’s natural heritage for future generations."},{"authors":[{"firstName":"Pablo H.","lastName":"Demaio"},{"firstName":"Gabriel","lastName":"Reinoso Franchino"},{"firstName":"Graciela N.","lastName":"Lencina"}],"countriesOfCoverage":["AR"],"countriesOfResearcher":["AR"],"publishingCountry":["US"],"added":"2026-03-26T13:38:20.334+00:00","published":"2025-11-06","day":6,"gbifDownloadKey":[],"gbifOccurrenceKey":[],"gbifTaxonKey":[212],"gbifHigherTaxonKey":[1,44],"gbifNetworkKey":[],"gbifProjectIdentifier":[],"gbifProgramme":[],"citationType":"DOI","gbifRegion":["LATIN_AMERICA"],"id":"d32ff397-ea10-3289-b947-c24ec41a78c5","identifiers":{"doi":"10.56178/eh.v40i2.1520"},"keywords":["biogeografía","diversidad aves","sierras de Ambato"],"language":"spa","literatureType":"JOURNAL","month":11,"notes":"No specific funding information provided.","openAccess":true,"peerReview":true,"publisher":"Aves Argentinas / Asociacion Ornitologica del Plata","relevance":["GBIF_USED"],"source":"El Hornero","tags":["2025","AR","AR_biodiversity","Biogeography","GBIF_used","Species_distributions","citation_scope:ok","citation_type:DOI","gbifDOI:10.15468/aomfnb","gbifTaxon:212","lit_source:event-crossref","open_access:TRUE","peer_review:TRUE"],"title":"Aves de la vertiente oriental de las sierras de Ambato (Catamarca, Argentina): distribución altitudinal y consideraciones biogeográficas","topics":["BIOGEOGRAPHY","SPECIES_DISTRIBUTIONS"],"modified":"2026-03-26T13:38:20.334+00:00","websites":["https://doi.org/10.56178/eh.v40i2.1520"],"year":2025,"abstract":"Las sierras de Ambato pertenecen a la provincia de Catamarca, Argentina.

Yet, many taxa remain unassessed due to the intensive data requirements of manual evaluations. For example, in Sweden, fewer than 40 % of known fungal species have an assigned extinction risk in the national Red List. To address this, approximation methods have emerged to provide estimates of extinction risk for species lacking an officially assigned status. These automated extinction threat inferences can be viewed as a best-evidence approximation, flagging potentially threatened species for further ecological research and targeted manual Red List assessments. One such approximation method is the deep learning approach implemented in the IUCNN package, predicting extinction risk using environment features extracted from species occurrence data. However, such approximation models face challenges arising from class imbalances, with most species classified as Least Concern, which biases predictions. Here, we advance the IUCNN framework by applying balanced accuracy as a performance metric and using class weights and oversampling to mitigate class imbalance. This approach improves the model's ability to predict intermediate classes, such as Near Threatened (NT), Vulnerable (VU), and Endangered (EN), resulting in higher overall balanced accuracy. We applied this approach nationally to 1445 unassessed Swedish fungal species, covering nearly half of the country's known fungi and increasing the number of fungi with a national extinction threat status by over 10 %. Our approach identified 661 species as potentially threatened, doubling the total of fungal species listed as threatened compared to the existing Swedish Red List assessments. This highlights previously unrecognized conservation priorities by shortlisting potentially threatened species that would be good targets to receive more attention from conservation authorities and manual Red List assessments."},{"authors":[{"firstName":"Iromi Kusum","lastName":"Wijethunge"},{"firstName":"Jingpeng","lastName":"Cao"},{"firstName":"Fanjuan","lastName":"Meng"},{"firstName":"Zheping","lastName":"Xu"},{"firstName":"Qingshan","lastName":"Zhao"},{"firstName":"Lei","lastName":"Cao"}],"countriesOfCoverage":["CN"],"countriesOfResearcher":["CN"],"publishingCountry":["CN"],"added":"2026-03-23T15:33:55.052+00:00","published":"2025-05-22","day":22,"gbifDownloadKey":[],"gbifOccurrenceKey":[],"gbifTaxonKey":[1108,7190953,1493,7191588,7192775,7192402],"gbifHigherTaxonKey":[1,212,44],"gbifNetworkKey":[],"gbifProjectIdentifier":[],"gbifProgramme":[],"citationType":"DOI","gbifRegion":["ASIA"],"id":"b5708767-86ba-3549-934d-a797849a133b","identifiers":{"doi":"10.3897/bdj.13.e158384"},"keywords":["Sampling-event datasets","synchronous winter waterbird census","wetland"],"language":"eng","literatureType":"JOURNAL","month":5,"notes":"10.13039/501100002855","openAccess":true,"peerReview":true,"publisher":"Pensoft Publishers","relevance":["GBIF_PUBLISHED"],"source":"Biodiversity Data Journal","tags":["2025","CN","CN_biodiversity","Data_paper","GBIF_published","citation_scope:na","citation_type:DOI","gbifDOI:10.15468/zeuqyd","gbifTaxon:1108","gbifTaxon:1493","gbifTaxon:7190953","gbifTaxon:7191588","gbifTaxon:7192402","gbifTaxon:7192775","lit_source:publisher","open_access:TRUE","peer_review:TRUE"],"title":"Occurrence dataset from the waterbird survey of the middle and lower Huai He floodplain, China","topics":["DATA_PAPER"],"modified":"2026-03-23T15:33:55.052+00:00","websites":["https://doi.org/10.3897/bdj.13.e158384"],"year":2025,"abstract":"BackgroundThe Huai He floodplain in Anhui and Jiangsu Provinces, an important component of the East Asian-Australasian Flyway (EAAF), sustains critical wetland habitats for migratory waterbirds, including four threatened species on the IUCN Red List: critically endangered Aythyabaeri (Radde, 1863), endangered Ansercygnoides (Linnaeus, 1758) and vulnerable Melanittafusca (Linnaeus, 1758) and Aythyaferina (Linnaeus, 1758).

Jaguaroundi Ecological Park (JEP), created in 2002, is the first private reserve in the country. JEP protects tropical rain forests, but it is surrounded by petrochemical developments. Moreover, between 2001 and 2018, deforestation of Tropical Humid Forests was the highest among all ecoregions in Mexico. We compared past and present land cover estimates to evaluate the effectiveness of JEP at preventing forest loss. We also combined avian surveys at JEP with species occurrence records from digital platforms to reassess its bird species richness, which was last reviewed >10 years ago. Additionally, we used generalized linear models to evaluate the effect of nearby petrochemical gas flares on the distribution of bird species richness within JEP. We found that forested vegetation in JEP increased 25.7% between 1999 –2003 and 2014–2017, while it decreased 18.5% outside its borders. We documented 282 bird species, adding 57 species to previous richness estimates, making JEP richer than 75% of the currently designated Important Bird Areas (IBAs) in Mexico. We also found that bird species richness increased with distance to gas flares, underlining the role of JEP as refuge from external anthropogenic pressures. Our results show the potential value of private protected areas for the conservation of nature in Mexico and demonstrate that JEP is a valuable area for birds. To further aid in the protection of both its vegetation and avifauna, we consider that JEP should be officially designated as an IBA.

Species distribution models (SDMs) are crucial for assessing ecological effects, particularly in forecasting climate‐induced shifts. This study examined the distribution of Diploknema butyracea by refining and spatially thinning occurrence data to a 1 km resolution, reducing an initial 413 records to 80 unique localities. Nineteen bioclimatic variables from the CHELSA dataset were analyzed, retaining only those with variance inflation factor (VIF) values below 10. Climatic conditions from past, present, and future scenarios were incorporated to assess habitat suitability over time. To ensure model reliability, block partitioning cross‐validation was applied, identifying the LQ model (Rm = 1.5) as the most effective. Key determinants of habitat suitability included bio08 (mean temperature of the wettest quarter), bio06 (minimum temperature of the coldest month), bio07 (temperature annual range), bio12 (annual precipitation), and bio18 (precipitation of the warmest quarter). During the Last Glacial Maximum (~20,000 years ago), suitable habitats were largely confined to the southern lowlands of Nepal. By the mid‐Holocene, rising temperatures and increased precipitation enabled expansion into mid‐hill regions. The present distribution shows high suitability across mid‐hills and lowlands, while future projections (SSP3‐7.0) indicate declining suitability in the lowland Terai due to increasing temperatures and precipitation, with a slight increase at higher elevations. These findings underscore the importance of climatic stability in shaping the distribution of D. butyracea and offer valuable insights for conservation planning and forest restoration in the face of climate change."},{"authors":[{"firstName":"Louise","lastName":"O’Connor"},{"firstName":"Francesca","lastName":"Cosentino"},{"firstName":"Servane","lastName":"Demarquet"},{"firstName":"Pierre","lastName":"Gaüzère"},{"firstName":"Tom","lastName":"Hackbarth"},{"firstName":"Luigi","lastName":"Maiorano"},{"firstName":"Chiara","lastName":"Mancino"},{"firstName":"Julien","lastName":"Renaud"},{"firstName":"Sara","lastName":"Si-Moussi"},{"firstName":"Peter H.","lastName":"Verburg"},{"firstName":"Wilfried","lastName":"Thuiller"}],"countriesOfCoverage":[],"countriesOfResearcher":["AT","CH","IT","NL","FR"],"publishingCountry":[],"added":"2026-03-23T14:48:47.808+00:00","published":"2025-10-26","day":26,"gbifDownloadKey":[],"gbifOccurrenceKey":[],"gbifTaxonKey":[],"gbifHigherTaxonKey":[],"gbifNetworkKey":[],"gbifProjectIdentifier":[],"gbifProgramme":[],"citationType":"generic","gbifRegion":[],"id":"4cbd089b-6e32-386e-81d8-fc3340704c27","identifiers":{"doi":"10.1101/2025.10.25.684519"},"keywords":["anthropogenic pressures","biodiversity conservation","biogeography","ecosystem services","land use intensity","provider species","red list","spatial ecology"],"language":"eng","literatureType":"WORKING_PAPER","month":10,"notes":"No specific funding information provided.","openAccess":true,"peerReview":false,"publisher":"openRxiv","relevance":["GBIF_USED"],"source":"bioRxiv","tags":["2025","AT","CH","Conservation","Ecosystem_services","FR","GBIF_used","IT","NL","citation_scope:na","citation_type:generic","lit_source:publisher","open_access:TRUE","peer_review:FALSE"],"title":"Threats to Nature’s contributions to people provided by terrestrial vertebrates across Europe","topics":["ECOSYSTEM_SERVICES","CONSERVATION"],"modified":"2026-03-23T14:48:47.808+00:00","websites":["https://doi.org/10.1101/2025.10.25.684519"],"year":2025,"abstract":"Aim.                   Species and ecosystem processes offer essential benefits to people, known as Nature’s Contributions to People (NCP). However, we still lack a comprehensive understanding of NCP provided by terrestrial vertebrates on a large scale, and of the threats they face. To bridge this gap, we built a comprehensive dataset that documents the NCP provided by terrestrial vertebrate species in Europe, and analysed the conservation status and threats to NCP provider species.

We synthesised existing literature on NCP associated with European terrestrial vertebrates, and leveraged ecological traits and trophic interactions from previously established datasets. We identified 15 NCP (10 regulating NCP and 5 non-material NCP), with 860 species providing at least one NCP (out of 1,168 vertebrate species considered in total). Then, we harnessed species distribution data and a novel European land system map to create species-mediated NCP maps across Europe at a 1km² resolution, including societal demand for each NCP.                                                     Results.                   We found that i) for each NCP, at least 25% of NCP provider species are assessed as threatened with extinction; ii) NCP multifunctionality is lowest in high-intensity land systems; and iii) direct exploitation and agricultural intensification are major threats to species-mediated NCP, impacting both non-material and regulating NCP provider species.                                                     Main conclusions.                   Protecting threatened NCP provider species, and reducing direct exploitation are key to maintain regulating and non-material NCP. Our results suggest that de-intensifying agricultural practices, through maintaining heterogeneous mosaic landscapes and promoting diversified practices, could increase NCP multifunctionality. Our work enables a comprehensive understanding of NCP provided by terrestrial vertebrates in Europe, their biogeography, and the threats they face, which can in turn inform spatial conservation planning to improve the conservation of both biodiversity and NCP.

In Mauritius, the risk of virus introduction through imported livestock or travellers is high, while serological evidence has demonstrated the circulation of two Culicoides‐borne viruses in domestic ruminants and native deer, namely, bluetongue (BTV) and epizootic haemorrhagic disease (EHDV) viruses. To this day, no data at the main island scale have been published on the diversity and distribution of Culicoides species present in Mauritius. A spatial survey across Mauritius was conducted using black light suction traps (OVI traps) from 10 to 20 April 2023. Nineteen farms were selected to cover a diversity of hosts and environments. The traps were operational from dusk to dawn, with a single night capture per site. While the presence of Culicoides imicola Kieffer and Culicoides enderleini Cornet and Brunhes in Mauritius was confirmed, two additional species were detected, Culicoides kibatiensis Goetgheguer and Culicoides bolitinos Meiswinkel. All species were distributed all over the island. Overall abundance ranged from 4 to 19,764 females, with a mean and median abundance of 2,010 and 352 individuals/night/site. The total number of individuals collected during the study was highest for C. imicola (21,065) and lowest for C. bolitinos (313). All four species are Afrotropical and are suspected or historically known to be involved in BTV and EHDV transmission. While intra‐specific morphological variations were detected, genetic analyses did not reveal any cryptic diversity. This work has updated the faunistic inventory of the genus Culicoides of veterinary interest in Mauritius and established a list of 4 Afrotropical species known to be vectors and distributed on the island. The abundance of Culicoides was relatively low as compared to mainland Africa but in the range of other islands in the south‐west Indian Ocean region. Further work will investigate the temporal dynamics of the four species to identify high‐risk seasons."},{"authors":[{"firstName":"Michael","lastName":"Bommerer"}],"countriesOfCoverage":[],"countriesOfResearcher":["ES"],"publishingCountry":["NL","US","FR"],"added":"2026-03-23T13:59:52.179+00:00","published":"2025-10-23","day":23,"gbifDownloadKey":[],"gbifOccurrenceKey":[],"gbifTaxonKey":[2302903,2302902],"gbifHigherTaxonKey":[1,225,52,2302886,2302902,982,2304120],"gbifNetworkKey":["99d66b6c-9087-452f-a9d4-f15f2c2d0e7e","68e8e67a-43e6-44a3-8817-dc0e6b70f973","17abcf75-2f1e-46dd-bf75-a5b21dd02655","8e30b684-6a54-4aba-aa73-66201c2c736e","2b7c7b4f-4d4f-40d3-94de-c28b6fa054a6"],"gbifProjectIdentifier":["IMLS MA 05-12-0450-12, IMLS MA 30-15-0276-15, IMLS MA-30-18-0438-18, NSF 2001528 "],"gbifProgramme":[],"citationType":"DOI","gbifRegion":[],"id":"828ee582-2620-34b6-92cb-5376eca81c69","identifiers":{"doi":"10.22541/au.176124776.68021104/v1"},"keywords":["Coralliophila richardi","Coralliophilinae","Muricidae","bathyal fauna","historical nomenclature","lamellate varices","taxonomy","type material"],"language":"eng","literatureType":"WORKING_PAPER","month":10,"notes":"No specific funding information provided.","openAccess":false,"peerReview":true,"publisher":"Wiley","relevance":["GBIF_USED"],"source":"Authorea","tags":["2025","ES","GBIF_used","Taxonomy","citation_scope:ok","citation_type:DOI","gbifDOI:10.15468/49s45k","gbifDOI:10.15468/hnhrg3","gbifDOI:10.15468/kwqaay","gbifDOI:10.15468/xgoxap","gbifTaxon:2302902","gbifTaxon:2302903","lit_source:gs","open_access:FALSE","peer_review:TRUE"],"title":"On Coralliophila richardi (P.

Fischer, 1882) is re-evaluated through direct examination of type material and original descriptions, confirming its synonymy with C. lactuca Dall, 1889. The species exhibits a compact ovoid shell with a short spire and foliaceous lamellae-an unusual trait within the Coralliophilinae, otherwise characterized by squamose or scaly sculpture. It occurs at bathyal depths between 278 and 896 m, associated with framework-forming scleractinians (Lophelia pertusa and Madrepora oculata) in both the eastern and western Atlantic. Recent phylogenomic analyses indicate that C. richardi and the western Pacific Emozamia licina (Hedley & Petterd, 1906) constitute a single genetic lineage spanning the Atlantic and Indo-Pacific, representing the first verified example of a cosmopolitan corallivorous muricid. Pending formal taxonomic revision, the Indo-Pacific population is provisionally retained under its traditional designation to maintain comparative consistency. Comparative morphological and ecological analyses with the Indo-West Pacific Coralliophila fimbriata (A. Adams, 1853), lamellate Babelomurex species, and the superficially similar shallow-water muricid Crassilabrum crassilabrum (Gray, 1828) reveal that foliaceous varices have evolved independently within Muricidae and cannot, in isolation, be regarded as indicative of phylogenetic affinity. To contextualize C. richardi within the regional fauna, a consolidated checklist of Atlantic and Mediterranean Coralliophilinae is provided, incorporating verified distributional and bathymetric data standardized according to the UNESCO/IOC GOODS and NOAA CMECS benthic frameworks, refined following the insular biogeographic model of Ávila et al. (2018). The results clarify the morphological diagnosis, bathymetric distribution, and ecological associations of C. richardi, establishing it as the sole unequivocally lamellate representative of the Atlantic-Mediterranean Coralliophilinae and highlighting its evolutionary equivalence with E. licina. The study emphasizes the recurrent convergent evolution of lamellate sculpture within Muricidae and the necessity of integrative taxonomic approaches combining morphology, ecology, and molecular phylogenetics to resolve convergence and homology in coral-associated gastropods. No nomenclatural acts are proposed."},{"authors":[{"firstName":"Muhammad Uzair","lastName":"Davids"},{"firstName":"Natasha","lastName":"Karenyi"}],"countriesOfCoverage":[],"countriesOfResearcher":[],"publishingCountry":["DK","KR","TT","GR","RU","US","GB","EC","FR","IL","ZZ","AQ","BG","NO","JP","SE","IM","NL","DE","AU","NG","UA","IE","CH","PL","BR","NZ","FI","SJ","IN","VE","ZA","ES","BE","AR","CA","PH","PT","CL","IT","MX","KE","CO"],"added":"2026-03-23T13:29:55.403+00:00","published":"2027-08-31","day":31,"gbifDownloadKey":["0043500-260226173443078"],"gbifOccurrenceKey":[],"gbifTaxonKey":[],"gbifHigherTaxonKey":[],"gbifNetworkKey":["99d66b6c-9087-452f-a9d4-f15f2c2d0e7e","379a0de5-f377-4661-9a30-33dd844e7b9a","17abcf75-2f1e-46dd-bf75-a5b21dd02655","68e8e67a-43e6-44a3-8817-dc0e6b70f973","8534dd20-c368-4a1f-bdaf-e6b390710f89","b153643d-735a-440f-a0e9-428b4f9d1cd2","1f2c0cbe-40df-43f6-ba07-e76133e78c31","8e30b684-6a54-4aba-aa73-66201c2c736e","2ee1bff7-0b34-4fa3-9433-feaa7c6ee08b","0479d6b2-a4f4-4307-8346-0b80e8c88c66","ec4ad81b-77e2-465a-b339-4266c91bb7e6","2b7c7b4f-4d4f-40d3-94de-c28b6fa054a6"],"gbifProjectIdentifier":["DigInTCN","SNIB-NE018-NE0181909F_SIB2019.08.07-ND","CUP B53C22002150006","SNIB-P104-P104805F-ND","AeN","ZMMU SC","SNIB-LH010-LH0101612F_SIB2017.01.25-ND","CN_00000033","LA MBON","SNIB-LE002-LE0021804F-SISAL","Cepa-LT-2017/10049","FFGIBCCAN","SNIB-GN011-Anfipodos_Biotica50-FINAL-ENE13-ND","CESP2019-004","CESP2022-010","Artsprosjektet 46-15","PINV-SUBPESCA","09-12-2024","NSF ADBC Marine Invertebrate TCN 2001256","SNIB-DJ004-DJ0040803F_corregida-ND","NHMLA_DISCO | DigInTCN","CESP2017-0007","IMBIO","SNIB-Y008-Y008408F-ND","SNIB-B012-B012804F-ND","https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q118395664","BID-CA2020-055-NAC","BDBCV","FIPA N. 2016-02 ID 4728_53_LQ_16","https://www.gbif.org/grscicoll/collection/54f168b6-385a-4827-a171-f60aa290a9f8","FIC-R-2011","FONDEF ID19I10236","BID-CA2020-004-INS","BID-AF2020-022-NAC","SNIB-U046-U0460705F_correccion-ND","SNIB-KE002-KE0022105F-invertebrados","SNIB-B072-B072605F-ND"],"gbifProgramme":["CESP","BID"],"citationType":"DOI","gbifRegion":[],"id":"aff59e0d-16de-3f9f-9e5e-652e34069480","identifiers":{},"keywords":[],"language":"eng","literatureType":"THESIS","month":8,"notes":"No specific funding information provided.","openAccess":false,"peerReview":false,"relevance":["GBIF_USED"],"tags":["2027","GBIF_used","citation_scope:na","citation_type:DOI","gbifDOI:10.15468/dl.ngts6y","lit_source:user","open_access:FALSE","peer_review:FALSE"],"title":"Observing and characterising Ampelisca amphipod tube beds in False Bay, South Africa","topics":[],"modified":"2026-03-23T13:29:55.403+00:00","websites":[],"year":2027,"abstract":"(no abstract available)"},{"authors":[{"firstName":"Maria Augusta","lastName":"Sukow"},{"firstName":"Kauê Cachuba","lastName":"Abreu"},{"firstName":"Lucas M.","lastName":"Aguiar"}],"countriesOfCoverage":["BR"],"countriesOfResearcher":["BR"],"publishingCountry":[],"added":"2026-03-23T13:18:05.396+00:00","published":"2025-10-23","day":23,"gbifDownloadKey":[],"gbifOccurrenceKey":[],"gbifTaxonKey":[11182799,5219542,7262055,5219541,2436666],"gbifHigherTaxonKey":[2436453,1,2436647,4827386,9620,9621,3239607,359,44,2436665,798],"gbifNetworkKey":[],"gbifProjectIdentifier":[],"gbifProgramme":[],"citationType":"generic","gbifRegion":["LATIN_AMERICA"],"id":"72ae1055-9fff-3074-bb4e-397d0c109589","identifiers":{"doi":"10.1177/19400829251389727"},"keywords":["Ombrophilous Mixed Forest","Platyrrhini","allochthonous species","exotic species","primate communities","species geographic distribution"],"language":"eng","literatureType":"JOURNAL","month":10,"notes":"No specific funding information provided.","openAccess":true,"peerReview":true,"publisher":"SAGE Publications","relevance":["GBIF_USED"],"source":"Tropical Conservation Science","tags":["2025","BR","BR_biodiversity","Conservation","GBIF_used","Species_distributions","citation_scope:na","citation_type:generic","gbifTaxon:11182799","gbifTaxon:2436666","gbifTaxon:5219541","gbifTaxon:5219542","gbifTaxon:7262055","lit_source:gs","open_access:TRUE","peer_review:TRUE"],"title":"Primates in the Endangered Araucaria Pine Forest of the Largest City of Southern Brazil: A Current Overview","topics":["CONSERVATION","SPECIES_DISTRIBUTIONS"],"modified":"2026-03-23T13:18:05.396+00:00","websites":["https://doi.org/10.1177/19400829251389727"],"year":2025,"abstract":"                     Background and Research Aims:                     The Araucaria Pine Forest (APF) is the most threatened Atlantic Forest phytophysiognomy, with 4% of its original area remaining. In Paraná, Brazil, it faces the worst conservation status. Primates play key ecological roles in this ecosystem, yet their distribution in the Metropolitan Region of Curitiba (MRC) remains poorly documented, and studies shows a historical bias toward brown howler monkeys (                     Alouatta guariba                     ). This study provides an updated, spatially explicit overview of free-ranging native and exotic primates in the MRC, focusing on APF remnants.                     Methods:                     We compiled primate occurrence records from 2000 to 2025 using scientific literature, museum collections, environmental and health databases, citizen science platforms, and personal observations. Coordinates were verified via Google Earth, and spatial analyses were done in QGIS. A 1,000-meter grid and Kernel Density Estimation identified distribution patterns and hotspots.                     Results:                     We recorded 604 primate occurrences across five species. Three natives: brown howler monkeys, southern black-horned capuchin monkeys (                     Sapajus cucullatus                     ), and southern muriquis (                     Brachyteles arachnoides                     ). Two exotics: black-tufted marmosets (                     Callithrix penicillata                     ) and common marmosets (                     Callithrix jacchus                     ). Three key patterns were revealed: exotic marmosets were concentrated in Curitiba’s northern urban area; brown howler monkeys dominated southern Curitiba and the southern MRC; and capuchin monkeys clustered near the                     Serra do Mar                     . Records grew steadily: few before 2010, moderate during the 2010s, and a sharp rise after 2014 with SISS-Geo and iNaturalist’s popularity.                     Conclusion:                     Primate distribution in the MRC shows spatial segregation between native and exotic species. Brown howler monkeys remain relatively common despite yellow fever outbreaks, while capuchin monkeys and muriquis appear rare or absent from smaller APF fragments.                     Implications for Conservation:                     Urgent actions include protecting and restoring APF remnants, controlling exotic marmosets, and targeted surveys for rare natives. Continuous monitoring integrating citizen science and health databases is crucial for conservation in this urban-forest mosaic.

In Taiwan, mammals show varied divergence: low‐mobility species such as mole‐shrews and Formosan wood mice exhibit strong north–south splits, and surprisingly, similar patterns occur in mobile taxa like Formosan serow and sambar deer. In contrast, other mobile species, including flying squirrels and Reeves's muntjac, show weak or no population structure in prior studies. This recurring north–south divergence across ecologically diverse taxa suggests that shared environmental gradients, beyond historical isolation, drive parallel population structures. If so, species occupying similar habitats may exhibit comparable genetic breaks regardless of life‐history traits. Prior mitochondrial studies likely missed fine‐scale structure in muntjac; high‐resolution SNP data now offer improved resolution. Here, we analyzed genome‐wide SNPs from 71 Taiwanese Reeves's muntjac and comparative Chinese samples. We detected deep divergence from Chinese muntjac (~0.24 MYA), and further north–south subdivision within Taiwan (~0.06 MYA). Demographic modeling revealed a complex history involving glacial isolation and asymmetric gene flow, mainly from north to south. Within Taiwan, genetic differentiation was shaped by both geography and climate, especially temperature annual range (Bio7), with niche models showing environmental separation. Selection scans identified PLA2‐associated genes, potentially linked to thermal adaptation. This is the first study to demonstrate that both geographic and environmental heterogeneity jointly contribute to mammalian divergence in Taiwan. The repeated north–south split across ecologically diverse species highlights shared climatic and topographic factors driving parallel population structure in Taiwan's montane ecosystems."},{"authors":[],"countriesOfCoverage":[],"countriesOfResearcher":[],"publishingCountry":["DK","EE","KR","US","GB","FR","IL","BG","NO","JP","SE","NL","DE","AU","NP","UA","IE","CH","BR","NZ","FI","ZA","ES","BE","AR","DO","LU","CA","CL","IT","TW","MX","MY","CO"],"added":"2026-03-23T12:58:47.759+00:00","published":"2026-03-20","day":20,"gbifDownloadKey":["0052436-260226173443078"],"gbifOccurrenceKey":[],"gbifTaxonKey":[],"gbifHigherTaxonKey":[],"gbifNetworkKey":["99d66b6c-9087-452f-a9d4-f15f2c2d0e7e","68e8e67a-43e6-44a3-8817-dc0e6b70f973","17abcf75-2f1e-46dd-bf75-a5b21dd02655","1f2c0cbe-40df-43f6-ba07-e76133e78c31","8e30b684-6a54-4aba-aa73-66201c2c736e","0479d6b2-a4f4-4307-8346-0b80e8c88c66","2b7c7b4f-4d4f-40d3-94de-c28b6fa054a6"],"gbifProjectIdentifier":["NSF # 1601891","SNIB-V045-V045503F-ND","SNIB-JM016-JM0161412F_SIB2016.01.26-ND","SNIB-J086-J086807F-ND","CUP B53C22002150006","SNIB-J001-J001-ND","SNIB-HC023-HC0231411F_corregida-ND","2022_Diatom of Lake Maggiore","BID-CA2020-031-NAC","CESP2021-008","DB-F-44","NSF #1203394","CESP2024-006","SNIB-G012-G012812F-ND","nlbif2022.009","SNIB-JM044-JM0441505F_SIB2016.10.19-ND","608897-389-SE24","SNIB-HC008-HC0081302F_Corregida-ND","https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/101026951"],"gbifProgramme":["CESP","BID"],"citationType":"DOI","gbifRegion":[],"id":"30dbc48f-2bd2-3aea-9ff9-ae096568376e","identifiers":{},"keywords":[],"language":"zho","literatureType":"THESIS","month":3,"notes":"No specific funding information provided.","openAccess":false,"peerReview":false,"relevance":["GBIF_USED"],"tags":["2026","GBIF_used","citation_scope:na","citation_type:DOI","gbifDOI:10.15468/dl.97gjhs","lit_source:user","open_access:FALSE","peer_review:FALSE"],"title":"桤木化石与环境关系","topics":[],"modified":"2026-03-23T12:58:47.759+00:00","websites":[],"year":2026,"abstract":"(no abstract available)"},{"authors":[{"firstName":"Edith J.","lastName":"Singini"},{"firstName":"Sally","lastName":"Archibald"},{"firstName":"Colin P.","lastName":"Osborne"},{"firstName":"Brad S.","lastName":"Ripley"}],"countriesOfCoverage":[],"countriesOfResearcher":["GB","ZA"],"publishingCountry":[],"added":"2026-03-23T12:42:09.797+00:00","published":"2025-10-23","day":23,"gbifDownloadKey":[],"gbifOccurrenceKey":[],"gbifTaxonKey":[3974700,8166188,7564113,8270791,3974754],"gbifHigherTaxonKey":[7707728,6,7989631,1370,5386,220,8142432],"gbifNetworkKey":[],"gbifProjectIdentifier":[],"gbifProgramme":[],"citationType":"generic","gbifRegion":[],"id":"0c170e9e-a793-3b9f-afb7-5b4b1b254715","identifiers":{"doi":"10.1111/1365-2435.70201"},"keywords":["climate change","gas exchange","photosynthetic acclimation","physiological resilience","woody plant encroachment"],"language":"eng","literatureType":"JOURNAL","month":10,"notes":"10.13039/501100006312;10.13039/501100011027","openAccess":true,"peerReview":true,"publisher":"Wiley","relevance":["GBIF_USED"],"source":"Functional Ecology","tags":["2025","Climate_change","Ecology","GB","GBF8","GBIF_used","SDG13","ZA","citation_scope:na","citation_type:generic","gbifTaxon:3974700","gbifTaxon:3974754","gbifTaxon:7564113","gbifTaxon:8166188","gbifTaxon:8270791","lit_source:gs","open_access:TRUE","peer_review:TRUE"],"title":"Savanna tree species show contrasting acclimation responses to elevated atmospheric CO 2 concentration and drought","topics":["CLIMATE_CHANGE","ECOLOGY"],"modified":"2026-03-23T12:42:09.797+00:00","websites":["https://doi.org/10.1111/1365-2435.70201"],"year":2025,"abstract":"Woody plant expansion into historically grass‐dominated savannas is reshaping ecosystem structure and function, with consequences for biodiversity, nutrient cycling and land use. This shift is thought to be driven by the physiological responses of certain C3 tree species to elevated atmospheric CO2 concentrations (eCO2), modulated by water availability, among other constraints. However, the species‐specific mechanisms regulating photosynthetic acclimation under these conditions remain unclear.Using an Open‐Top Chamber system, we examined the responses of five southern African C3 tree seedlings to ambient (400 ppm) and elevated (550 ppm) CO2 concentrations under contrasting soil water availability.Our results revealed that Vachellia karroo, V. tortilis and V. sieberiana exhibited clear photosynthetic upregulation under eCO2, with increased photosynthetic capacity (carboxylation capacity and/or electron transport rate), particularly under well‐watered conditions when stomatal conductance was highest. These responses diminished under water limitation but remained higher than in V. robusta and Senegalia burkei, which downregulated under eCO2 at high water availability and showed only modest improvements under dry conditions. Importantly, photosynthetic upregulation did not consistently translate into above‐ground growth gains, with significant enhancement observed only in V. sieberiana under high water supply.These divergent acclimation strategies highlight why some species emerge as dominant encroachers under rising CO2, while others remain constrained by stronger physiological limitations."},{"authors":[{"firstName":"R.

In particular, non-lethal sampling techniques are needed for passerines for which microplastic exposure is poorly understood. In this study, we evaluated whether non-lethal proventricular gastric lavage can provide a representative sample of total microplastic ingestion in passerine birds. We sampled Brown-headed Cowbirds (                                            Molothrus ater                                          ) (n = 105) from Government Canyon State Natural Area in San Antonio, Texas, United States (US). We performed gastric lavage to recover microplastics from each bird, before euthanizing them and dissecting gastrointestinal tracts. We recovered microplastics from 99% of birds. Gastric lavage recovered an average of 50.4% of ingested microplastics although recovery rate was highly variable (range: 0–100%, coefficient of variation: 59.52%), indicating much uncertainty in estimating individual total microplastic loads from gastric lavage. Sampling date influenced microplastic loads and recovery rates, which may be due to untested microplastic-environment interactions or may be an artifact of sampling conditions. Recovery rate was unaffected by time of day, bird age, sex, or body condition, or microplastic shape. Overall, our findings suggest that gastric lavage provides highly variable estimates of total gastrointestinal microplastics, and may be more appropriate for studies of recently ingested microplastics, only, that should be contained within the proventriculus.
