A new hypogean species, Domene lohaji sp. n., is described from Amasya province, northern Anatolia, and the male of Domene miranda Assing, 2010 is presented from Kastamonu province, northwestern Anatolia, for the first time. These species were collected in the mesovoid shallow substratum. A total of three hypogean species are now known to occur in Turkey. http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:6FBB54AD-37D4-456A-880E-70A2AB835ED9
在安纳托利亚北部的Amasya省发现了一新种Domene lohaji sp. n.，在安纳托利亚西北部的Kastamonu省首次发现了Domene miranda Assing雄虫，2010。这些种均采自中胚层浅层。目前已知在土耳其共有三种次生代物种。http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:6FBB54AD-37D4-456A-880E-70A2AB835ED9

General morphology, cephalic sensory papillae pattern, postcranial osteology, phylogenetic placement, phylogeographic pattern, and distribution of Eleotris acanthopomus Bleeker, 1853 (Teleostei: Gobiiformes: Eleotridae) from the north-western Indian Ocean (Arabian Sea) are described. The cephalic papillae pattern follows the ‘open’ opercular pattern, and the cheek pattern ‘2.4’. The vertebral column includes 10 abdominal and 14–15 caudal vertebrae, for a total vertebral count of 24–25. Corroborating the morphological results, DNA barcoding based on mitochondrial COI confirmed that the specimens collected from the Arabian Sea coastal area are conspecific with E. acanthopomus from other Indo-Pacific localities. Eleotris acanthopomus from the Arabian Sea shows the closest phylogenetic relationship to E. pellegrini (11.9% K2P genetic distance). The presence of E. acanthopomus in the coastal area of the Arabian Sea represents the first record of this genus and species for the northern Indian Ocean and markedly expands its known geographical distribution range. A preliminary phylogeographic analysis of the newly collected E. acanthopomus haplotype from the Arabian Sea and archived haplotypes from other Indo-Pacific localities suggests that extensive dispersal occurs among regional populations, most probably during the pelagic larval stage.

Fishing pressure and other human impacts are increasing throughout much of the Red Sea. We assessed the minimum soak time and status of the coral reef fish community in the Aqaba Marine Park, Jordan prior to its official redesignation as a Marine Reserve in 2020 using baited remote underwater video (BRUV). A total of 86 species from 27 families were recorded in 15 deployments, comprising 60 hours of video. A minimum soak time of 150 minutes was found necessary to sufficiently estimate overall species richness. For richness of commercially valuable families, shorter soak times of 60 minutes were adequate, likely resulting from increased attraction of this largely piscivorous group to the bait plumes. A 30-minute soak time was adequate to assess the maxN of commercially valuable families. Our results indicate that the Aqaba Marine Reserve was overfished prior to its establishment as a reserve, as we recorded no large predators and not a single individual from Carcharhinidae, Haemulidae, Lutjanidae, or Scombridae. Other predator families like Epinephelinae, Lethrinidae, and Carangidae were relatively rare with low maxN. Our results provide a useful point of comparison to assess whether the coral reef fish community will recover as a result of enhanced management action and reduced fishing pressure.

Syntormon pallipes is one of the cosmopolitan species in the family Dolichopodidae. It has an important role in agriculture and forest ecosystems. We studied the genetic diversity of 10 populations of this species using seven ISSR primers and found 269 polymorphic loci. The polymorphism rate ranged between 34.6% and 72.1%. A molecular variance analysis showed that the main source of genetic variation originates from within the populations. In addition, the genetic differentiation value (GST) was found to be low, with a value of 0.13. The gene flow level (Nm) is high with a value of 3.11 per generation.

In September, 2022, the first Mecoptera specimens of the Arabian Peninsula were collected in Oman (Dhofar province). The collected male and female specimens are conspecific with Bittacus chevalieri (Navás, 1908), which is widely distributed in the African Sub-Saharan grass savannahs and ranges from Senegal in West Africa to India. The occurrence of the species in the Dhofar Mountains proves that this area has an extremely strong influence on the African fauna. Male and female morphologies are figured by photos and genitalia.

Among the nine species of Balaenopterid whales, only four species, viz., Balaenoptera musculus , B. edeni , B. omurai, and Megaptera novaeangliae are reported from the Ara-bian/Persian Gulf (Al-Robbae, 1967, 1971; Al-Sayegh, 2014; Dakhteh et al., 2017; Ranjbar et al., 2016).

We studied the breeding biology of the endemic Cyprus Coal Tit (Periparus ater cypriotes) using artificial nest boxes in a coniferous forest from March through May 2010 to 2018. In total, 202 breeding pairs utilized the nest boxes, with a mean number of 22.2 pairs per year. The highest number of nests was observed in 2017, with 38 occupied nest boxes, reflecting a significant fivefold increase compared to 8 occupied nest boxes in 2011. Breeding attempts were not affected by temperature or precipitation prior to and during the breeding period. Average clutch size was 6.2±1.2 eggs and average brood size 6.1±1.2 young. Additionally, 51 pairs of Great Tit (Parus major aphrodite) bred in the nest boxes with a mean number of 5.7±1.66 pairs per year. Nest composition of the two species was similar, although Cyprus Coal Tits built heavier nests, composed of double the percentage of wool and feathers (60%) compared to Great Tits (33%).
2010年3月至2018年5月，我们利用人工巢箱研究了塞浦路斯特有种煤山雀(Periparus ater cypriotes)的繁殖生物学。利用巢箱繁殖的共有202对，平均每年22.2对。2017年观察到的巢穴数量最多，有38个被占用的巢箱，与2011年的8个被占用的巢箱相比，显著增加了5倍。繁殖尝试不受繁殖前和繁殖期间温度或降水的影响。平均窝卵数为6.2±1.2个，平均窝仔数为6.1±1.2个。此外，有51对大山雀(Parus major aphrodite)在巢箱内繁殖，平均每年5.7±1.66对。两个物种的巢组成相似，尽管塞浦路斯煤山雀筑巢较重，由羊毛和羽毛组成的比例(60%)是大山雀(33%)的两倍。

An updated checklist and status assessment of the gobioid species (Gobiiformes) in the Red Sea is provided. Of the 162 species, 141 belong to the Gobiidae, nine to Microdesmidae, five to Xenisthmidae, six to Schindleriidae and one to Kraemeriidae. The Shrimpgoby (Cryptocentrus steinhardti) and the Sand Goby (Hazeus ingressus) are reported from Eilat, Israel and Abu Dabab, Marsa Alam, Egypt. Both species, which belong to Indo-West Pacific genera, were originally described from the eastern Mediterranean Sea and were unknown from the Red Sea so far. Records of these species are based on underwater photographs. Eviota pseudostigma, a species known from islands of the Western Indian Ocean, was photographed and collected from Mangrove Bay, El Quseir, Egypt, and represents a new record for the Red Sea. Eviota oculopiperita, described from the north-eastern Red Sea was found on the western side of the Red Sea. A new record of the microdesmid fish Gunnellichthys irideus, based on underwater photographs taken from the southern Egypt, is reported. Previous records of Paragobiodon echinocephalus from the Gulf of Aqaba are regarded as misidentification of P. modestus.
