The Indian tasar silkworm Antheraea mylitta (A. mylitta) is an economically important silkmoth and is native to tropical India. Our current research has deciphered the mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of A. mylitta by recovering the complete genome sequence from the NCBI-SRA database and comparing it with other mitogenomes from the order Lepidoptera. The mitogenome is a double-stranded circular molecule spanning 15,354 bp with an A + T content of roughly 80.4%. It consists of a total of 37 genes, comprising 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNAs (tRNAs), and two ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs), along with a 337 bp long control region. The arrangement of PCGs is similar to other Lepidoptera mitogenomes, with the exception of Cox1 and Cox2, which have different initiation codons. The control region of A. mylitta contains a conserved five bp ATAGA motif as seen in other Antheraea species. Phylogenetic analysis supports previous morphological hypotheses that Bombycoidea, Noctuoidea, Geometroidea, Papilionoidea, and Torticoidea are monophyletic. The divergence time analysis of 13 protein-coding genes reported that A. mylitta diverged from the last common ancestor ∼ 23 million years ago. As per our knowledge, this is the first documented record of the entire mitogenome of A. mylitta.

Urban expansion globally has altered biodiversity by transforming urban habitats, leading to habitat loss and changes in ecological systems. Black kites (Milvus migrans) are adaptable raptors across diverse landscapes, from natural to highly urbanized areas. This study focuses on Gujranwala City, Pakistan, a unique habitat offering insights into black kite ecology along an urban gradient. The research assesses seasonal abundance, temperature and humidity impacts, behavioral activities, and habitat preferences of black kites. Results show higher abundance in urban areas, influenced by environmental factors and food availability from anthropogenic sources. Black kites exhibit time-dependent associations with temperature and humidity, especially before sunset. Additionally, a significant correlation is observed between black kite abundance and solid waste components, particularly food and plastic waste, in the urban area. These findings contribute to understanding urban ecology, highlighting the adaptability of black kites to human-modified environments and the potential implications for conservation and management strategies.

This individual of Otus elgans was rescued on Udo Island located in the east of Jeju Island, the southernmost part of the Korean Peninsula, on January 4, 2007. It was found at 3° 32″ N, 2° 58′ E, which is the northernmost record among the habitats of Otus elegans. After that, we took photographs of its shape, recorded its calls, and analyzed them. While analyzing we confirmed that it is an unrecorded species in Korea. We classified the chick calls based on structural similarity on spectrograms (view range: 0–7.5 kHz; window length: 1 second). We measured it and the results are; weight: 86.7 g, total length: 210 mm, wing length: 170 mm, tail length: 68.0 mm, and Tarsus length: 25.13 mm. In addition, its vocalizations are structurally diverse: duration, ∼10 ms to 1.5 s; peak frequency (adults), <900 to >3000 Hz. Currently, it was found not only on Nansei Shoto, Minami-daito-jima, and Okino Islands in Japan but also on the Batanes Islands in eastern China and the Babuyan Islands. Moreover, assumed that it inhabits Okinoshima, lying beyond the known northern limit of distribution. Therefore, this study record demonstrates the attempt of O. elegans to move north even to Udo Island from the previous habitats.

该獭兔个体于2007年1月4日在位于朝鲜半岛最南端济州岛东部的郁岛被救起。它被发现于北纬 3°32″，东经 2°58″，是獭兔栖息地中最北的记录。随后，我们拍摄了它的外形，记录了它的叫声，并对其进行了分析。在分析过程中，我们确认它是韩国未记录的物种。我们根据频谱图（视角范围：0-7.5 kHz；窗口长度：1 秒）上的结构相似性对雏鸟叫声进行了分类。我们对雏鸟进行了测量，结果如下：体重：86.7 克；全长：210 毫米；翅长：170 毫米；尾长：68.0 毫米；跗长：25.13 毫米。此外，其发声结构多样：持续时间为 10 毫秒至 1.5 秒；峰值频率（成体）为 900 赫兹至 3000 赫兹。目前，不仅在日本的南西诸岛、南大岛和冲之岛上发现了这种鸟类，在中国东部的巴丹群岛和巴布延群岛上也发现了这种鸟类。此外，假设它栖息在冲之岛，而冲之岛位于已知分布的北部界限之外。因此，本研究记录表明，O. elegans 尝试从以前的栖息地向北迁移，甚至迁移到宇都岛。

Calliphoridae commonly known as blowflies, bluebottles, greenbottles, or carrion flies is a family of Diptera which are of immense importance in medical, veterinary, and forensic sciences. Many sampling methods are known for collecting blowflies but sweeping net is the most dominant method used for their collection. The present study compares sweep netting with the less common bait method and quantifies differences in species richness, Shannon's diversity, and Simpson's diversity using the Hill numbers approach. The sampling procedure yielded 2000 specimens out of which 744 were collected using a sweeping net method while as bait method yielded 1256 specimens belonging to 6 genera and 15 morphospecies, Lucilia sericata (Meigen 1826Meigen 1826) was reported as the most abundant species in sweeping net method while as Calliphora vicina Robineau-Desvoidy 1830 was reported as most abundant species collected through the bait method. This study will be useful for the methodology of future field surveys.

Through the analysis of male-song characteristics in Isophya camptoxypha (Fieber), a Curve-tailed plump bush-cricket species prevalent in the highlands of the Alps and the Carpathians, this study establishes that acoustic signals not only serve for species identification among closely related counterparts but also contribute to biogeographical assumptions and constructions. The investigation delves into the formation of a relict locality on Stinka Mountain, situated at the junction of two Carpathian biogeographical regions. Additionally, the research explores the implications of using different types of microphones for bioacoustic measurements.

本研究通过对阿尔卑斯山高地和喀尔巴阡山脉盛行的曲线尾丰满灌木蟋蟀（Isophya camptoxypha (Fieber)）雄性鸣唱特征的分析，确定声学信号不仅有助于在近亲同类中识别物种，还有助于生物地理学的假设和构建。这项调查深入研究了位于两个喀尔巴阡山生物地理区域交界处的斯汀卡山的一个孑遗地点的形成。此外，研究还探讨了使用不同类型的传声器进行生物声学测量的意义。

Species belonging to the family Mobulidae of Pakistan are described based on external morphology. In Pakistan, six species of Mobula birostris (Walbaum, 1972), Mobula eregoodoo (Cantor, 1849), Mobula mobular (Bonnaterre, 1788), Mobula kuhlii (Müller & Henle, 1841), Mobula tarapacana (Philippi, 1892), and Mobula thurstoni (Lloyd, 1908) belonging to family Mobulidae are found. Family Mobulidae are found in tropical and sub-tropical water around the world. However, their life history and ecological traits make them highly susceptible to overfishing. Like other unmanaged and unreported high-value elasmobranchs, their trade internationally led them to rapid depletion and potential indigenous extinction unless a rapid conservation management response occurs worldwide. Accurate identification at the species level is useful for the conservation, especially when direct exploitation or bycatch in various fisheries needs to be managed for their sustainability. Taxonomic misidentification creates uncertainties that could result in the mismanagement of regional and international threats of extinction. Here, we described the family Mobulidae fisheries of Pakistan based on their external morphology, an identification key is provided, and their distribution and global conservation status is also provided which will support the overall systematic stability of the mobulid rays in Pakistan and surrounding waters.

Among dioecious species, the differential strategy of resource allocation between male and female plants is depicted in their life-history traits and reproductive features. This is classified as sexual dimorphism. The strategies of resource allocation along with the habitat of these species pose an impact on their pollination mechanism and reproductive success. Zanthoxylum armatum DC (Rutaceae) is a small tree with wide economic and medicinal value. The species is naturally distributed in tropical parts of India and other countries. Due to overexploitation of natural populations in India, the species is rapidly declining. To restore the population of the species in the wild and establish commercial plantations, detailed knowledge of its reproductive biology is essential. Thus, the present study was conducted in natural population of Z. armatum growing in the union territory of Jammu and Kashmir, India. The study revealed sex-biased allocation and sexual dimorphism both in vegetative and reproductive traits. Such traits include more height and higher number of shoots, inflorescences, and flowers in male plants than in female plants. The natural populations of Z. armatum exhibit a male-biased sex ratio, and such biasness appears to be the outcome of resource allocation strategies and other demographic characteristics. Species possibly exhibit presence of ambophilous suite, i.e., a combination of wind and insect pollination in floral features. However, pollen dispersal by wind is up to limited distance, and thus wind may or may not be effective in fruit-set.

在雌雄异株的物种中，雌雄植物之间资源分配策略的不同体现在它们的生活史特征和生殖特征上。这被归类为性二态。这些物种的资源分配策略和生境对其授粉机制和繁殖成功率都有影响。Zanthoxylum armatum DC（芸香科）是一种具有广泛经济和药用价值的小乔木。该物种自然分布于印度和其他国家的热带地区。由于印度对其自然种群的过度开发，该物种正在迅速减少。要恢复该物种的野生种群并建立商业种植园，必须详细了解其繁殖生物学特性。因此，本研究对生长在印度查谟和克什米尔地区的箭竹自然种群进行了研究。研究发现，在植株和生殖性状方面，都存在性别差异和性二态性。这些性状包括雄性植株比雌性植株更高和更多的嫩枝、花序和花朵。臂状聚伞花序（Z. armatum）的自然种群表现出偏向雄性的性别比例，这种偏向性似乎是资源分配策略和其他人口统计特征的结果。该物种可能存在嗜伏性套间，即在花卉特征中结合了风和昆虫授粉。然而，风力传播花粉的距离有限，因此风力可能对坐果有效，也可能无效。
