Wetland areas such as the marsh provide vital habitats for birds. However, marshes in the Philippines have been threatened by anthropogenic disturbances and may be further degraded. This study conducted a rapid bird assessment in Ebpanan Marsh located in Maguidanao del Norte within the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) on 06–12 March 2022. A total of 36 bird species belonging to 24 families were recorded during the rapid assessment. Among the bird species recorded, two species— Anas luzonica and Streptopelia dusumieri are considered as Vulnerable, while Padda oryzivora is considered ‘Endangered’ in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Eight of the bird species recorded are endemic and are observed in the remaining freshwater swamp forest of the Ebpanan Marsh. Despite habitat degradation and anthropogenic disturbance, the Ebpanan Marsh can still accommodate threatened and endemic bird species. Increasing the number of observation sites and extending the sampling duration of bird assessment will be required in order to complete the list of birds on the Marsh and understand the spatial and temporal variation in bird populations in the area.

Urban parks play a crucial role in supporting biodiversity, yet limited research on urban insect diversity poses challenges for conservation. Comprehensive biodiversity records are essential for monitoring insect population trends. Despite their significance as bioindicators, many urban parks lack baseline data on butterfly populations. This study utilized bait traps to assess butterfly diversity in two Quezon City parks: La Mesa Ecopark (LME) and Ninoy Aquino Parks and Wildlife Center (NAPWC). Bait trapping facilitates species identification and population trend monitoring without harming local butterfly populations. From April to August 2023, two bait traps equipped with fermented bananas and rum as lures were deployed in each park. A total of 145 individuals representing nine morphospecies of the Nymphalidae family were recorded. Differences in butterfly diversity were noted between LME and NAPWC, with LME showing greater diversity. However, sampling efforts at NAPWC may need expansion to ensure exhaustiveness, potentially affecting comparison accuracy. Notably, four species observed in both parks are endemic to the Philippines, while data on the IUCN Red lIst status of the remaining species are unavailable.

Orthopterans have emerged as a crucial group of invertebrates for environmental monitoring and assessment. According to available literature the study of Moroccan orthopteran species remains limited in comparison to other countries. In recent years, the field of orthopteran classification has witnessed significant progress thanks to groundbreaking research in taxonomy and phylogeny that have shed new light on relationships and evolutionary history. In Morocco, there are many types of Orthoptera, including grasshoppers, crickets, and locusts, and different regions of the country have not been equally well sampled and studied. Notably the northwestern, particularly the Sidi Kacem region, are little studied. Here we present a taxonomic update of the most abundant orthopterans in Morocco based on field visits between spring and summer 2019. Five species were identified: Dociostaurus maroccanus, Aiolopus strepens, Gryllus bimaculatus, Gryllus campestris, and Nemobius sylvestris. We aim to use this publication as a baseline for future work on Orthopterans from northwestern Morocco.

The presence and status of Strobilanthes recurva C.B.Clarke (Acanthaceae) in Manipur, northeastern India is re-assessed with a brief description and illustration. Photographs and their conservation status are also provided. The values of Extent of Occurrence (EOO) and Area of Occupancy (AOO) calculated as 16,313.797 km2 (VU), and 20.000 km2 (EN) respectively predicted S. recurva as Vulnerable and Endangered. Therefore, we proposed to treat this threatened species, S. recurva as Endangered (EN) until further information becomes available.
本文对印度东北部曼尼普尔 Strobilanthes recurva C.B.Clarke（刺桐科）的存在和现状进行了重新评估，并进行了简要描述和说明。同时还提供了照片及其保护状况。根据计算得出的出现范围（EOO）和占地面积（AOO）分别为 16,313.797 平方公里（VU）和 20,000 平方公里（EN），可以预测 S. recurva 属于易危和濒危物种。因此，我们建议将 S. recurva 视为濒危物种（EN），直至获得进一步的信息。

The coastal wetlands along the southern coast of Sri Lanka are home to a diverse array of shorebirds thriving in their natural habitats, classified under the order Charadriiformes. This study examines the impact of land cover changes within the Kalametiya Sanctuary, situated on the southern coast, on the diversity, distribution, and habitat utilization of migrant and breeding resident shorebirds. Three distinct habitat types were selected within the study area: grassland, lagoon, and mixed mangroves. Employing Geographic Information System (GIS) data the land cover changes of these habitats from 2002 to 2023 were analyzed using satellite imagery. Results indicated a substantial decrease in lagoon habitat area by 70% and grassland habitat by 30%, while mixed mangrove habitat saw an increase of >90%. These changes were attributed to anthropogenic interventions and natural events such as the 2004 Tsunami. To determine the shorebird assemblages within the study area thriving in these changing habitats, surveys were conducted from May 2022 to April 2023 at 30 fixed point-count stations along transects in the selected habitat types. A total of 25 shorebird species belonging to six families were recorded. Notable among these were the globally ‘Near Threatened’ species such as the Black-tailed Godwit Limosa limosa and the Great Thick-knee Esacus recurvirostris, alongside nationally threatened species including Kentish Plover Charadrius alexandrinus, Gull-billed Tern Gelochelidon nilotica, and Common Tern Sterna hirundo species. The mixed-mangrove habitat exhibited the highest shorebird abundance, with 19 species recorded, surpassing the 13 and 11 species recorded in the grassland and lagoon habitats, respectively. Additionally, both grassland and mixed-mangrove habitats demonstrated similar diversity indices and shared more species in common (Shannon’s diversity index [H] = 2.17; Jaccard Similarity Index = 0.45) compared to the lagoon habitat (H = 2.09). Despite the notable decline in lagoon habitat cover, during the present study, it was observed that the overall shorebird populations have been sustained within grassland and mixed-mangrove habitats utilized for their feeding and nesting. Additionally, over-summering migratory shorebirds were observed utilizing these habitats. Hence, the Kalametiya sanctuary serves as a unique setting to study the ecological resilience of migratory and breeding resident shorebirds amidst human interventions. This research provides valuable insights for biodiversity conservation and habitat management in the face of human-induced alterations within ecosystems located especially along migratory pathways of shorebird species.
