Evaluating the use of taxonomy in the IUCN Red List. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Taxonomy defines the units that conservationists strive to preserve for future generations. However, the discovery of new species and the taxonomic revision of existing species affect conservation efforts. Despite the importance of taxonomy for a species’ conservation, there is currently no overview of how those leading species extinction risk

A new, conspicuously pigmented Pyrrhulina (Teleostei: Characiformes: Lebiasinidae) from the Río Tigre, Loreto, Peru. [PDF]

J Fish Biol
Abstract A new species of Pyrrhulina is described based on morphological and molecular evidence. Pyrrhulina punctata is distinguished from all congeners by the presence of a series of 7 to 16 irregular blotches of dark pigmentation on the flanks, equally marked in juveniles and adult specimens, the presence of 26–28 lateral‐line scales, 17–21 maxillary

Potential Invasive Indo-Pacific <i>Acropora</i> in a Coral Reef of Venezuela: A Contribution to Their Morphological and Molecular Knowledge. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We report the first record of a non‐native hermatypic coral in Venezuela, exhibiting biological traits characteristic of invasive species. The coral is a member of the genus Acropora (Scleractinia: Acroporidae), native to the Indo‐Pacific. This non‐native petrous coral occurred in a reef of the Morrocoy National Park, in the southern Caribbean.

Taxonomic Diversity of Decapod and Stomatopod Crustaceans Associated with Pocilloporid Corals in the Central Mexican Pacific

Diversity, 2022
Many crustacean species are obligate associates of pocilloporid corals, where they feed, reproduce, and find shelter. However, these coral-associated crustaceans have been poorly studied in the eastern tropical Pacific.
