The species Rhabdophis leonardi (Wall, 1923) is recorded for the first time from Vietnam (Lao Cai Province) based on the re-examination of specimens deposited in the collections of the Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle (Paris) which were formerly identified as Rhabdophis nuchalis. Furthermore, we also re-evaluate the taxonomy and distribution of species of the complex Rhabdophis nuchalis group and we provide an updated identification key to species of this complex.
在对巴黎国立自然历史博物馆(mus um National d’histoire Naturelle)收藏标本重新鉴定的基础上,首次在越南(老街省)记录到横纹蛇(Rhabdophis leonardi, 1923年)。此外,我们还重新评估了棘足鼠复合体类群的分类学和物种分布,并为该复合体的物种鉴定提供了新的关键。

Saurians use differentially three dimensions of the ecological niche: spatial, temporal, and trophic niche to minimize or avoid competition. During dry season of 2006, we compared resource partitioning in two saurian species, Holcosus septemlineatus and Medopheos edracanthus. In Cerros de Amotape National Park (Tumbes, Peru), Holcosus septemlineatus and M. edracanthus presented high overlap in spatial (Φjk = 0.81) and temporal niches (Φjk = 0.88), while trophic niche overlap was intermediate (Φjk = 0.52). Both lizard species showed similar activity patterns (08:00 – 16:00) and body temperatures (35.9° and 36.6°C, respectively), although they faced different thermal environments, and selected different microhabitats. Holcosus septemlineatus selected more forest-covered microhabitats, while M. edracanthus used more sun-exposed microhabitats. Both species consumed a similar diet (crickets, spiders, termits and insect larvae). Apparently, the trophic niche index value could be associated with a high prey abundance and to slight differences in microhabitat use related to sun-exposure degree. This should be used as a resource partitioning strategy between these two species at Cerros de Amotape National Park.
蜥蜴利用不同的生态位三个维度:空间、时间和营养生态位来减少或避免竞争。在2006年旱季,我们比较了9月巨蜥(Holcosus septemlineatus)和龙爪龙(Medopheos edracanthus)两种蜥蜴的资源分配情况。在秘鲁Tumbes的Cerros de Amotape国家公园中,九月天巨翅与埃德拉卡索巨翅在空间生态位(Φjk = 0.81)和时间生态位(Φjk = 0.88)上呈现高度重叠,而在营养生态位上呈现中度重叠(Φjk = 0.52)。两种蜥蜴的活动模式(08:00 ~ 16:00)和体温(35.9°和36.6°C)相似,但它们所面临的热环境不同,所选择的微生境也不同。九月天蛾选择了更多森林覆盖的微生境,而夜蛾选择了更多阳光照射的微生境。这两个物种的饮食相似(蟋蟀、蜘蛛、白蚁和昆虫幼虫)。显然,营养生态位指数值可能与较高的猎物丰度有关,与微生境利用与日照程度有关的微小差异有关。这应该作为Cerros de Amotape国家公园这两个物种之间的资源分配策略。

Tetralepis fruhstorferi is a snake currently only known to be endemic to a single active volcano complex of Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park in East Java of Indonesia. Its taxonomic identity and natural history are poorly known, as the most recent collection was in 1978 and limited to only a few collection records. We investigated two recently published surveys that have misidentified this species. This may indicate that T. fruhstorferi is still present in its type locality and our future surveys would focus on finding this species to assess its taxonomy and population status.

Murree Hills Frog, Nanorana vicina, is one of the under studied anuran species of South Asia. We hypothesized that the diet of Murree Hills Frog differed during breeding and non-breeding seasons. We found that the geographic range of the species in Pakistan is narrower than reported. It occurs in Tehsil Murree (District Rawalpindi, Province Punjab), District Abbotoabad (Province Khyber Pakhtunkhwa) and Districts Poonch and Bagh (Azad Jammu and Kashmir). We recovered 12 taxa from stomach contents during the breeding season. The most frequent food items included Coleopterans (60%, constant) and Hymenopterans (40%, secondary). The food items from order Coleoptera contributed the most in the stomach content volume (ml) 0.06, followed by Hymenoptera 0.05, and Isoptera 0.05. The frogs showed secondary degree of food preference for Coleopterans and occasional for other food items. We recorded ten food items during non-breeding season. The most frequent food items included Coleopterans (45%, secondary), Hymenopterans (40%, secondary) and Orthopterans (35%, secondary). The food items from order Coleoptera contributed the most in the stomach content volume (ml) 0.12, followed by Orthoptera 0.11. The species showed secondary degree of food preference for Coleopterans, Hymenopterans and Orthopterans and occasional for other food items. The food item taxa during breeding and non-breeding seasons did not differ significantly. We have reported major threats to the species and suggested research, conservation and management options.

Anguis colchica orientalis is an endemic subspecies of the eastern slow worm that lives along the southern coast of the Caspian Sea. This reptile usually inhabits forests in the Talysh and Alborz mountains, Lenkoran and South-Caspian lowlands from –27 to 1890 m above the sea level (a. s. l.). The majority of localities (82%) are scattered across the coastal lowlands and low mountains. In order to study the distribution and estimate ecological preferences of the species, we applied maximum entropy modeling using 108 localities from Azerbaijan and Iran. The range of the subspecies covers mainly coastal lowlands, eastern slopes of the Talysh and northern slopes of the Alborz ridges. Of the parameters included in the model, slope, barren land and precipitation of driest month were the variables with the highest percentage contributions (29, 16, and 10%, respectively). The slow worm does not avoid human-transformed biotopes and is common in some localities. The main threat to Hyrcanian populations of the slow worm is degradation of suitable habitats, primarily a total deforestation.

The habitat requirements of two snake species (Hierophis viridiflavus and Natrix maura) were studied in a hilly area of south-western Sardinia (Italy). At each sighting time, once a snake was observed, presence/absence data of 11 not-autocorrelated habitat/ecological variables were recorded, and the data were processed by logistic regression against a comparable number of random points. Presence of fruiting plants and of lizards were significantly positively correlated with the presence of Hierophis viridiflavus. Two variables, presence of water body and multiple fallen trees, were positively correlated with the presence of Natrix maura. The ecological correlates of these results are discussed in the present paper.

We studied Acanthosaura lepidogaster sensu lato in China and included sequences of mitochondrial COI gene fragments from tissues sampled from multiple localities covering almost the entire distribution range of A. lepidogaster sensu lato in China. Integrating the sequences from Vietnam on GenBank, phylogenetic analyses revealed six well-supported lineages within A. lepidogaster sensu lato. Morphological analysis revealed some non-significant differences among these lineages, however, there are relatively great genetic distances among them, and their distributions do not overlap. Therefore, we suggest that the six lineages be regarded as separate species, corresponding to A. lepidogaster sensu stricto, A. brachypoda, A. hainanensis, A. longicaudata, A. phongdienensis, and A. rubrilabris, respectively.
本研究以中国鳞腹棘龙(Acanthosaura lespidogaster sensu lato)为研究对象,收集了覆盖中国鳞腹棘龙几乎整个分布范围的多地组织标本的线粒体COI基因片段序列。整合GenBank上来自越南的序列,系统发育分析发现了6个支持良好的鳞翅目腹水蜥谱系。形态分析表明,各系间存在不显著差异,但遗传距离较大,分布不重叠。因此,我们建议将这6个分支视为单独的种,分别对应于A. lepidogaster sensu stricto、A. brachypoda、A. hainanensis、A. longicaudata、A. phongdienensis和A. rubrilabris。

The Asian giant softshell turtle, Pelochelys cantorii, is a Class I protected animal in China and a CITES Appendix II species. In this paper, the behavior of 15 cultivated 4-month-old Asian giant softshell turtles was recorded in 1 day by a surveillance camera. Focusing on the posture act environment (PAE) and based on ecological functions, a PAE behavior ethogram of juvenile P. cantorii was constructed and analyzed. The results showed that there were 10 postures of young turtles, including floating, hanging, swimming, and lying, and 48 postures of the head and neck, mouth, eyes and nose, etc. Forty-six kinds of behaviors, such as ingestion, elimination, exploration, locomotive, rest, amicable, group and conflict, were recorded under 8 environmental codes. These findings will be helpful for the study of the behavior and conservation of P. cantorii and can also provide a reference for the study of the behavior ethograms of other soft-shelled turtles.

Polypedates pseudotilophus Matsui, Hamidy et Kuraishi, 2014 was priorly reported from Sumatra, West Java, and Central Java. Only a few specimens and genetic data were available and reports on its distributional range in Java are lacking. We reported a new distributional record of P. pseudotilophus from the lowland forest in Malang Regency, East Java Province, Indonesia, and provide morphological and genetic data. The East Java specimens were morphologically similar to Sumatra specimens also supported by genetic distance ranging between 2.2 – 2.4%. Although considered as conspecific, East Javan population formed a separate clade to Sumatran population.

We got seven specimens of Kaulback’s torrent frog of genus Amolops from Gaoligong Mountain National Forest Park, Pianma and Duloangjiang Towns, Lushui and Gongshan Counties, Nujiang Prefecture, Yunnan Province, China, and checked some specimens from Kunming Natural History Museum of Zoology, Natural History Museum of Britain, North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences and California Academy of Science during 2015 – 2020, respectively. According to our morphological and molecular identification, the cascade frog specimens from Pianma and Dulongjiang towns refer to Amolops kaulbacki (Smith, 1940) what are the new records for China. The morphological description of specimens from China is given.
