Based on a yearlong random floristic survey on various locations, a checklist of the phytoplankton flora in the foot hill belt of Arunachal Himalayas was compiled. The current list contains 116 phytoplankton taxa representing 6 algal phyla, 35 families and 55 genera which were more than the results of all previous survey. With 34 taxa, Chlorophyta was the richest phylum followed by Charophyta (31), Bacillariophyta (27), Euglenozoa (14), Cyanobacteria (6) and Ochrophyta (4) respectively. Among the families, Desmidiaceae was the most species rich one with 19 species. Closterium and Cosmarium were the dominant genera with 11 species each. A total of 90 phytoplankton species were reported for the first time from foot hill belt of Arunachal Himalayas.

Indonesia has a long story in the documentation of the richness of fish genetic resources. Identifying and documenting the diversity of fish species showing the country has around 1700 species. However, Fishbase records only 1258 species (10% contribution to the world) indicating around unrecorded 442 species (26%) in the site. Significant pressures on fish genetic resources and its habitat, small new species documentation/loss of existing species, a decreasing percentage of species at the global level, and un-optimal utilization seems to be essential issues. To deal with these issues, the re-inventory of Indonesia's freshwater fish genetic resources needs to be conducted with concern on unrecorded data in FishBase and threatened species. The government needs to increase awareness on establishing fisheries status through the implementation of the Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries Management (EAFM) for better fisheries management programs. Improvement of preservation and utilization programs for potential native fish species is also essential to provide alternatives species for aquaculture development and its conservation and the last is habitat rehabilitation through nature reserves empowers rules and strengthens regulation. To achieve action plan targets, cross-sectoral coordination is needed in which institutions involved in policy authority, scientific authority, and management authority must synchronize their programs and actions.

This report includes data on rare plant species of steppe and forest-steppe pine forests. We have identified the proportion of rare species that live in the studied forests for the regions where they are located, and for Russia as a whole. We have identified regional species found only in pine forests. The article shows that pine forests play an important role in the conservation of forest (boreal, boreonemoral, nemoral and boreonemoral forest-steppe) species and in the conservation of regional phytodiversity.

Indian python Python molurus (Linnaeus, 1758) is one of the world’s giant snakes with maximum lengths measured six to eight meters. Nevertheless, information on the size at maturity of P. molurus is not available. On February 9, 2019, 12:56 pm, one female and two males were observed during the group mating in Moyar River Valley Landscape, Southern India. We report the first observation on smallest male measuring 198 cm total length, 172 cm snoutvent length and weighing 3.3.kg mated with a radio-tagged larger female. At the end of the mating event everted hemi penis were observed in the male pythons. Our observation on the mating and morphology details of P. molurus gives the first glimpse of juvenile the male maturity that representing the youngest known free-ranging matured male of this poorly studied species in its distribution range.
