Terniopsis chanthaburiensis (Podostemaceae), a new record for China and its complete plastid genome

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
The genus Terniopsis consists of plants that have not been thoroughly studied, with many species remaining taxonomically unresolved. In this study, Terniopsis chanthaburiensis is reported as a new record of China based on morphological traits. Then, we assembled and annotated its chloroplast genome based on genome skimming data.

Long-Term Population and Distribution Dynamics of an Endangered Irrawaddy Dolphin Population in Balikpapan Bay, Indonesia in Response to Coastal Development

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020
Worldwide, cetaceans are impacted by human activities, and those populations that occur in shallow-nearshore habitats are particularly vulnerable. We present the results of the first long-term study on the responses of a coastal population of endangered ...

Lepidagathis konkanensis sp. nov. (Acanthaceae: Barlerieae) from Lateritic Plateaus of Konkan Region of Western Ghats based on morphological and molecular evidence

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Lepidagathis konkanensis, a new species from the lateritic plateaus of the Konkan region in Maharashtra, India, is described and illustrated based on distinct morphological and molecular characters. Morphologically and phylogenetically, this species is close to L. mahakassapae and L. dalzelliana, but it can be distinguished by its compact inflorescence,

Tracking Invasive Alien Species (TrIAS): Building a data-driven framework to inform policy [PDF]

Research Ideas and Outcomes, 2017
Imagine a future where dynamically, from year to year, we can track the progression of alien species (AS), identify emerging problem species, assess their current and future risk and timely inform policy in a seamless data-driven workflow.

Protocols for Locality Data Collection, Area of Occupancy, and Extent of Occurence for IUCN Red List Assessment v1

Locality data for bat species in Peninsular Malaysia were obtained through literature review, field surveys, and museum records. Fieldwork involved harp traps, mist nets, and high nets, with biological measurements and species identification based on Kingston et al. (2006). Coordinates were standardized and mapped using QGIS 3.34.1.
