We report confirmed sightings of a lesser known hesperiid butterfly namely Hoary palmer Unkana ambasa (Moore, 1858) from Assam, India based on a first photographic evidence of an uncollected adult specimen from Nilachal (Kamakhya) hills, leading to the range extension of the species by approximately 222 km from its nearest previously known locality i.e., West Bengal, India. Prior to this communication, there was only a single photographic record of U. ambasa from the State based on an egg laid on the top of a leaf which was observed and documented by Paresh Churi on 15 April 2019 in Rani.

The Indian Grey Wolf Canis lupus pallipes is an iconic species of grassland in India. It is a Schedule 1 species according to the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972 and CITES Appendix 1 species. In the absence of parental care, five wolf pups were rescued from Baavarla on 26 November 2020 and brought into Machia Biological Park for hand rearing. In the absence of colostrum, a milk replacer formula (PetLac) was provided to the pups. The pups were kept at an ambient room temperature of 101°F as an adjustment to their natural surroundings. Gripe water, Vitamin A, and multivitamins were administered orally. The temperature and body growth parameters were measured and recorded weekly. Rabies vaccine was administered in the 26th week from the date of rescue. The diet of the wolf was gradually changed and from the 37th week, raw meat was included in their diet. Antibiotics Ciplox-TZ (ciprofloxacin and tinidazole tablet) Brand-Cipla and SPORLAC-DS (lactic acid bacillus tablets 120M) Brand-sanzyme Ltd. were given periodically to restore the gut fauna of the pups.

Our goal was to find and record new plants that had not previously been recorded for the flora of Arabian Peninsula, particularly for Saudi Arabia. Collections were made in several ecologically important areas of Saudi Arabia, particularly in Faifa region. It was revealed that eight new vascular plant species and one liverwort (Bryophyte) belonging to eight families were recorded for the first time. The investigation was done between January 2021 and May 2022.

The escalating degradation of ecosystems and the consequent reduction in critical services essential for human communities are global concerns. This study aimed to identify top-priority plants for conservation using a localized conservation priority index (LCPI), customized for the locality. The LCPI, a point scoring method, ranked 50 evaluated species based on criteria such as harvesting risk, economic and cultural use, species distribution, and frequency value. Thirteen species were classified as high priority, requiring stringent harvesting regulations, while the remaining 37 were designated at a medium priority level, allowing specific quotas for harvesting. Notably, all 13 high-priority species exhibited higher harvesting risks. These include Caryota rumphiana Mart., Aquilaria cumingiana (Decne.) Ridl., Cycas riuminiana Regel, Dracaena angustifolia (Medik.) Roxb., Oncosperma tigillarium (Jack) Ridl., Oreocnide rubescens (Blume) Miq., Kleinhovia hospita L., Diospyros blancoi A.DC., Codiaeum sp., Gymnostoma rumphianum (Miq.) L.A.S.Johnson, Caryota cumingii Lodd. ex Mart., Artocarpus rubrovenius Warb., and Palaquium sp. Local communities engage in harvesting all parts of certain plant species. Following the identification of priority plants, geotagging was employed to enhance targeted in situ conservation efforts, providing valuable guidance for local leaders in initiating localized conservation of threatened biodiversity.

The Philippines is a hotspot for marine biodiversity, particularly for giant clams like Tridacna gigas. Despite protective measures, giant clams are threatened with extinction due to overharvesting and habitat loss. We conducted a rapid documentation of a rampant giant clam fishery and trade we discovered in Panggungan Island in Sitangkai, Tawi-Tawi during our assessment, following a ship grounding incident in the area. We observed numerous empty shells of various giant clam species scattered across the area, indicating active harvesting by the community. The locals sell the meat, either fresh or dried and pearls collected from giant clams. The local community culture live with giant clams, including the true giant clam species, Tridacna gigas, along the shorelines. The largest live T. gigas individual we documented had a shell length of about 60 cm. Our study provides the first documentation of wild adult T. gigas in the Sulu Archipelago. It is also the only report of sighting of wild adult T. gigas aside from Palawan. Furthermore, our study marks the first account of giant clam trade within the Philippines since the early 1980s when the government issued a total ban on catching and selling of all species giant clams. Our findings highlight the critical need for a thorough assessment of T. gigas and other giant clam species in the biodiversity-rich Sulu Archipelago. Effective conservation of giant clams and the surrounding reefs will ensure the future of our marine ecosystems and the communities that rely on them.

The present work deals with the diversity of spiders during the monsoon within the Saurashtra University Campus, Rajkot, Gujarat. A total of 38 species of spiders belonging to 32 genera and 14 families were recorded. Araneidae (25.81%) was found to be the most dominant family, with nine species from five genera. Guild structure analysis revealed seven feeding guilds, among all 31% most dominant feeding guilds represented by orb-web builders and stalkers, followed by ground runners (13%), irregular webs (10%), ambushers (7%), foliage hunters (6%), and space-web builders (2%). Ecological indices reveal high species richness (Margalef’s d = 8.97) and diversity (Shannon Index H’ = 3.526, Fisher alpha diversity α = 41.73). It concludes that the abundance of spider species at this study site was high and the evenness index was also high (e >0, e = 0.8944). These findings suggest the absence of stress elements in the study area.

The genus Clematis L., one of the largest genera of the family Ranunculaceae, is widely distributed in the world but intense diversity in subtropical and temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere (especially Asia and China) made this area as centre of diversity of the genus with 147 species of which 93 taxa are endemic. In India, the genus is represented by 49 taxa of which 13 are endemic to the country. The present paper reports extended distribution of Clematis wightiana Wall., earlier reported as endemic to the Western Ghats, from the Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh and as a new distribution record for the state. Detailed description, flowering & fruiting data, herbarium image, distribution, and ecology of the species are provided.

Mushrooms, classified within the class Agaricomycetes in the fungal kingdom, are often colloquially referred to as toadstools. The bioluminescence exhibited by fungi has captivated human curiosity for an extensive period, arising from a chemical reaction involving the interaction of the enzyme luciferin. In India , research pertaining to bioluminescent fungi remains notably limited. This study reports a novel distribution record of Mycena chlorophos in Kanyakumari, Tamil Nadu, India.

This communication reports the repeated sighting records of the Amur Falcon Falco amurensis with photographic evidence in the D’Ering Memorial Wildlife Sanctuary (DEMWS) of Arunachal Pradesh during the summer. Though there are many sighting reports of the Amur Falcon from many places in India, all are onward journeys (October and November). Hence, not only the repeated sighting of the Amur Falcon but also its sighting during the month of May in DEMWS is the record of its kind. This is significant information for ornithologists, as the recent sighting in the sanctuary is the second record of this raptor during the summer in the state, which also demonstrated that DEMWS is a significant flyway and a preferred stopover or refuelling site during the return migration of this raptor towards their breeding grounds.
这篇通讯报告了阿穆尔隼（Falco amurensis）夏季在阿鲁纳恰尔邦德林纪念野生动物保护区（D'Ering Memorial Wildlife Sanctuary，DEMWS）的多次目击记录和照片证据。虽然印度许多地方都有关于阿穆尔隼的目击报告，但所有报告都是前往印度（10 月和 11 月）。因此，阿穆尔隼不仅屡次被发现，而且五月份在DEMWS的发现也是同类记录中的一次。这对鸟类学家来说是一个重要信息，因为最近在该保护区看到的是这种猛禽在该州夏季的第二次记录，这也表明 DEMWS 是一个重要的飞行通道，也是这种猛禽向其繁殖地回迁时的首选中途停留地或加油站。

Caterpillars of Tineidae moths mainly feed on keratin sources and require moisture and warm temperature for emergence. The presence of Tineidae moth caterpillars, pupae, and adults in regurgitated pellets of harriers, diurnal migratory raptors wintering in India, suggests a potential dietary association and highlights the importance of considering associated organisms in raptor diet estimation studies. The caterpillars preferred rodent hairs present in the pellets over feather and arthropod remains. This is the first record of Tineidae moths on the pellets of harriers.
