The Andaman Islands harbor a unique biodiversity that is distinct from Asian mainland India and Southeast Asia due to geographical isolation, high endemism, and varied ecological conditions. Among the diverse fauna, species of the genus Junonia are widely distributed across various habitats; however, their genetic diversity has not been explored using molecular approaches in this region. The present study aimed to generate mitochondrial COI gene DNA barcodes for Junonia species from the Andaman Islands on a broader scale. A total of 74 specimens, morphologically identified as four different species were analyzed. The intraspecific divergence ranged from 0.003 to 0.017, while interspecific nucleotide divergence among the four species ranged from 0.044 to 0.095. The maximum divergence (0.095) was observed between Junonia lemonias and Junonia atlites, and the lowest (0.044) between J. lemonias and Junonia hierta. The Phylogenetic tree was constructed using both Neighbor-Joining (NJ) and Maximum Likelihood (ML) methods which displayed nearly identical topologies, with COI sequences clustering cohesively by species. This study represents the first molecular documentation of Junonia genetic diversity in the Andaman Islands, establishing a critical baseline for future taxonomic and evolutionary investigations.

安达曼群岛拥有独特的生物多样性，由于地理隔离，高度地方性和不同的生态条件，它与亚洲大陆印度和东南亚不同。在动物群的多样性中，Junonia属的种类广泛分布于不同的生境；然而，他们的遗传多样性尚未利用分子方法进行探索。本研究旨在在更大范围内生成安达曼群岛朱诺尼亚种线粒体COI基因DNA条形码。对形态学鉴定为4个不同种的74个标本进行了分析。种内差异范围为0.003 ~ 0.017，种间差异范围为0.044 ~ 0.095。柠檬Junonia和atlites Junonia的差异最大（0.095），柠檬Junonia和hierta Junonia的差异最小（0.044）。采用邻域连接（NJ）和最大似然（ML）方法构建系统进化树，二者拓扑结构基本一致，COI序列按物种聚类紧密。该研究首次记录了安达曼群岛Junonia的遗传多样性，为今后的分类和进化研究奠定了重要的基础。

Listrura is a genus of small fossorial microcambevine catfishes presently comprising 14 species in three subgenera, two from tropical and one from subtropical Atlantic Forest of Brazil. Our field studies have revealed five new species from the subtropical area with unique morphological features. Herein we conducted a molecular phylogeny including all nominal species of the genus in which the new species are supported forming a clade, here described as a new subgenus sister to the subgenus Listrura from the tropical area. The five new species are diagnosed on the basis of osteological characters and external morphology. The new subgenus is separated from its sister group by a distance of about 500 km. This distributional gap is probably a result of insufficient field sampling efforts directed to the specialized biotopes of Listrura, consisting of leaf litter in the bottom of small brooks draining gently sloping terrain. However, the increasing environmental degradation in the region can easily reduce or eradicate these fragile environments.

Listrura是一个小的穴居微弯鲶属，目前包括3个亚属14种，2个来自热带，1个来自巴西的亚热带大西洋森林。在野外研究中，我们发现了五个亚热带地区的新种，它们具有独特的形态特征。在这里，我们进行了一个分子系统发育，包括所有的名义物种，其中新物种被支持形成一个分支，这里被描述为一个新的亚属姐妹，来自热带地区的Listrura亚属。根据骨学特征和外部形态对这5个新种进行了诊断。这个新的亚属与它的姊妹类群相距约500公里。这种分布上的差距可能是由于对Listrura特殊生物群落的野外采样工作不足造成的，Listrura生物群落是由排水平缓斜坡的小溪流底部的凋落叶组成的。然而，该地区日益严重的环境退化很容易使这些脆弱的环境减少或根除。

In Bethylidae, the ninth abdominal sternum or hypopygium is very important in the taxonomy of the family, because it is extremely variable in shape. Under this scenario, our objective is to compare the pregenital terminal segments and their muscles present in the abdomen of Bethylidae and standardize the terminology among the Hymenoptera. The function and position of the abdominal muscles and sclerites are described, the functions are discussed and the names are standardized. Our results indicate that the musculature and sclerites are few variable in the most part of the abdomen, however the ninth abdominal sternum presents the greatest changes related to its shape and associated muscles. Furthermore, based on our studies, we also infer that the sinergic movements of the ninth sterno-genital muscles are responsible for the protrusion, retraction and rotation of the genitalia, being responsible for the movements during the copula. In Pristocera, the muscles between S8 and S9 also promote secondarily the adduction and abduction of the ninth abdominal sternum. This phenomenon is interpreted as an example of exaptation. The understanding about the muscle morphology and its origin as well as its functionality are important because it may help conduct studies with other taxa in Hymenoptera with the same or different changes present in Bethylidae and arise hypotheses about the morphofunctionality in other groups.

在贝利亚科，第九胸骨或下胸骨在该科的分类学中非常重要，因为它的形状非常多变。在这种情况下，我们的目标是比较贝西利亚科腹部的生殖前末端节和它们的肌肉，并规范膜翅目昆虫的术语。描述了腹肌和腹膜的功能和位置，讨论了它们的功能，并规范了它们的名称。我们的研究结果表明，在腹部的大部分肌肉组织和硬膜几乎没有变化，但第九胸骨的形状和相关肌肉的变化最大。此外，根据我们的研究，我们还推断，第九块胸骨-生殖器肌肉的单能运动负责生殖器的前伸、后缩和旋转，负责性交过程中的运动。在胸大肌，S8和S9之间的肌肉也次要地促进第9胸骨内收和外展。这种现象被解释为兴奋的一个例子。了解膜翅目昆虫的肌肉形态及其起源和功能，有助于对其他膜翅目昆虫进行相同或不同变化的研究，并对其他类群的形态功能提出假设。

This study investigated population differences in whiting (Merlangius merlangus) from the Black Sea (BS) and the Sea of Marmara (SM) using truss morphometric analysis. Although whiting populations have been studied in major seas such as the Aegean, Mediterranean and Adriatic, this study fills a gap by exploring their morphological variation in diverse ecosystems, including inland seas like the SM. A total of 117 individuals were examined, with body shape variation assessed through a 17-point landmarks (yielding 38 truss network variables). Univariate ANOVA revealed that 33 out of 38 transformed truss morphometric parameters exhibited statistically significant variations across habitats. Principal component analysis (PCA) showed that the first two components (PC1 and PC2) accounted for 44.19 % and 10.34 % of the variation, respectively, cumulatively explaining 54.53 % of the total variance. Additionally, discriminant analysis revealed morphological separation between the BS and SM populations, and M. merlangus showed significant phenotypic heterogeneity between two Turkish seas.

采用桁架形态计量学方法，对黑海（BS）和马尔马拉海（SM）的白鲟（Merlangius merlangus）种群差异进行了研究。尽管人们已经在爱琴海、地中海和亚得里亚海等主要海域研究过白鲸种群，但这项研究通过探索白鲸在不同生态系统中的形态变化，包括像SM这样的内海，填补了这一空白。总共检查了117个人，通过17点地标评估体型变化（产生38个桁架网络变量）。单变量方差分析显示，38个转换后的桁架形态计量参数中有33个在不同生境中表现出显著的统计学差异。主成分分析（PCA）表明，前两个分量（PC1和PC2）分别占变异的44.19%和10.34%，累计解释总变异的54.53%。此外，判别分析还显示了BS和SM种群之间的形态差异，并且merlangus在两个土耳其海之间表现出显著的表型异质性。

Three (one new and two known) species of the genus Parahadronchus, found in natural areas of Vietnam, are characterized, including morphological descriptions, morphometrics, illustrations and molecular (18 S, 28 S) study. New data of Parahadronchus shakili and Parahadronchus siroii are provided. Parahadronchus pusillus sp. n. is distinguished by its 1.30–1.52 mm long body, lip region visibly expanded, 21–23 μm wide and offset by marked depression, buccal cavity 20–24 μm long with dorsal tooth apex at its middle and 2–4 (often 3) teeth on each subventral plate, neck 229–296 μm long, female genital system mono-prodelphic, slightly posterior (V = 50–56) and transverse vulva, tail very long and filiform (338–518 μm, c = 2.9–3.8, c’ = 17–23), and male unknown. Molecular analyses support the monophyly of Parahadronchus and identify fine major clades within the Mononchida tree, but their relationships significantly differ depending on the considered gene. The taxonomy of the genus is revised: emended diagnosis, list of species, key to their identification and a compendium of main morphometrics. Hadronchus kerangensis is regarded as a valid taxon and transferred to Parahadronchus.

Maindroniidae is a rarely-encountered monogeneric family of Zygentoma, of which only four species are described so far. Recent surveys in the Atacama Desert have revealed in the hyperarid core an astonishing molecular and morphological diversity of these insects. The present work aims to provide the basis for a systematic taxonomic analysis of this diversity. The former Maindronia neotropicalis from Chile is redescribed in a new genus as Atacamus neotropicalis, along with a second new genus and species, Peruatacamus atunpacha from Peru. Neotropical Maindroniidae are separated from Old World Maindroniidae and placed in the new subfamilies Atacaminae and Maindroniinae respectively.

柱头蝇科是一种罕见的单属柱头蝇科，目前只发现了4种。最近在阿塔卡马沙漠的调查显示，在极度干旱的核心地带，这些昆虫的分子和形态多样性令人惊讶。本工作旨在为系统地对这种多样性进行分类分析提供基础。来自智利的前新热带Maindronia neotropicalis被重新描述为新属Atacamus neotropicalis，以及来自秘鲁的第二个新属和新种Peruatacamus atunpacha。新热带maindriniae科从旧大陆maindriniae科分离出来，分别归入Atacaminae亚科和maindriniae亚科。

Although Newportia is the genus of Scolopendromorpha with the greatest species diversity in the Neotropics, its diversity may be underestimated in certain areas of Brazil, such as the Pantanal Mato-Grossense, Brazilian Savanna (Cerrado) and Atlantic Forest. In this study, based on morphological and molecular data, three new species of Newportia are described: N. (Newportia) chamberlini sp. n., Newportia (Newportia) asulcata sp. n., and the first troglobitic species of the subgenus Tidops, N. (Tidops) eleonorae sp. n. N. (Tidops) eleonorae sp. n. was not included in the molecular analyses due to issues with DNA sequencing. However, its troglomorphic traits—unique to troglobitic species of Newportia and the subgenus Tidops—unequivocally support its status as a new species. Species delimitation analysis based on the mitochondrial marker COI recovered three lineages within N. (Tidops) balzanii in the Brazilian states of Mato Grosso do Sul and Mato Grosso. Both N. (Newportia) chamberlini sp. n. and N. (Newportia) asulcata sp. n. are recovered as different species, the former from Mato Grosso, and the latter from Bahia, within the “Caatinga” biome, a xeric region transitioning into the Atlantic Forest, both from Brazil. Phylogenetic analysis under maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference depicts a polyphyletic Tidops, with Newportia balzanii split into two clades based on geographical distribution. N. chamberlini sp. n. and N. asulcata sp. n. are recovered as sister species of the traditionally named but invalid Scolopendrides. The results of this work indicate that the diversity of the genus is underestimated and demonstrate that molecular tools are useful for the recognition of different lineages within species.

虽然Newportia属是新热带地区物种多样性最大的Scolopendromorpha属，但在巴西的某些地区，如Pantanal Mato-Grossense，巴西稀树草原（Cerrado）和大西洋森林，其多样性可能被低估。本研究基于形态学和分子数据，描述了3个新种：n (Newportia) chamberlini sp. n., Newportia (Newportia) asulcata sp. n.，以及tiops亚属的第一个跨地球物种n (Tidops) eleonorae sp. n., n (Tidops) eleonorae sp. n.由于DNA测序问题未纳入分子分析。然而，它的穴居物种Newportia和tidopa亚属特有的troglomerorphic特征明确地支持了它作为新种的地位。基于线粒体标记COI的物种划分分析在巴西南马托格罗索州和马托格罗索州恢复了n (Tidops) balzanii的三个谱系。n (Newportia) chamberlini sp.和n (Newportia) asulcata sp.作为不同的物种被恢复，前者来自马托格罗索州，后者来自巴伊亚州，在“Caatinga”生物群系中，一个向大西洋森林过渡的干旱地区，两者都来自巴西。在最大似然和贝叶斯推理下的系统发育分析描绘了一个多系的潮汐，巴尔扎尼新枝根据地理分布分为两个支系。N. chamberlini sp. N.和N. asulcata sp.被恢复为传统命名但无效的Scolopendrides的姐妹种。这项工作的结果表明，该属的多样性被低估，并证明分子工具是有用的，以识别不同的谱系在物种内。

The Dugesiidae is a family of freshwater planarians (Platyhelminthes: Tricladida), which includes 15 genera, with about 250 valid species. In particular, the genus Girardia encompasses 59 species, mainly distributed in the Neotropics. In this paper, we describe two new species of the genus Girardia, viz. Girardia limayana Negrete & Brusa sp. nov. and Girardia ventriphalla Negrete & Brusa sp. nov., found in different water bodies from Argentine Patagonia. We also studied specimens of Girardia tomasi, which allowed expanding its geographic distribution. The description of the new taxa focuses on their internal anatomy, mainly related to the copulatory apparatus, which was studied by serial histological sections. Partial sequences of mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase c subunit I (Cox-1) were also obtained to describe the freshwater planarians within a taxonomic integrative approach, including species delimitation approaches (ASAP and mPTP). The mPTP method recovered the three species herein studied, but ASAP, in its best score, failed to delimit G. ventriphalla sp. nov. from G. tomasi. Considering these approaches, along with the anatomical analyses, we decided to keep these latter species as different entities.

淡水涡虫科是淡水涡虫科的一个科（扁形纲：三虫纲），共有15属，约250种。特别地，吉拉迪亚属包括59种，主要分布在新热带地区。本文描述了在阿根廷巴塔哥尼亚不同水体中发现的Girardia limayana Negrete &； Brusa sp. 11和Girardia ventriphalla Negrete &； Brusa sp. 11两种Girardia属新种。我们还研究了吉拉迪亚的标本，这使得它的地理分布得以扩大。对新分类群的描述主要集中在其内部解剖，主要与交配器有关，并通过连续的组织学切片进行了研究。获得了线粒体细胞色素氧化酶c亚基I （Cox-1）的部分序列，并采用综合分类方法，包括种划分方法（ASAP和mPTP）来描述淡水原虫。mPTP方法恢复了本文研究的三个物种，但ASAP在最佳分数下未能将G. ventriphalla sp. 11 .与G. tomasi分开。考虑到这些方法，连同解剖分析，我们决定保留后这些物种作为不同的实体。

The ecological and evolutionary dynamics of closely related species are shaped by niche differentiation and conservatism, influencing their distribution and adaptation. This study investigates the phylogenetic, biogeographic, and ecological niche divergence between Apodemus mystacinus and Apodemus epimelas, closely related yet ecologically distinct species distributed across the Mediterranean and Middle Eastern regions. An integration of phylogenetic analysis, biogeographic mapping, population genetics, and ecological niche modeling was performed to elucidate their evolutionary history and current ecological preferences. Ecological niche modeling demonstrated a broader environmental tolerance for A. mystacinus compared to the more specialized A. epimelas. Niche overlap analyses revealed moderate geographic overlap but significant environmental niche differentiation, with identity tests rejecting the null hypothesis of niche equivalency. Partial Niche Transferability (PNT) indices (0.79–0.81) indicate shared environmental suitability, yet asymmetric niche occupation reflects species-specific adaptations. This study emphasizes the importance of considering both niche conservatism and divergence to understand species distributions and develop effective conservation strategies. The observed niche differentiation, despite phylogenetic proximity, underscores the complex interplay between evolutionary history, environmental adaptation, and biogeographic factors in shaping the ecological niches of these Apodemus species.

近缘物种的生态和进化动态受生态位分化和保守性的影响，影响其分布和适应。本文研究了分布在地中海和中东地区的神秘姬鼠和毛斑姬鼠的系统发育、生物地理和生态位差异。通过系统发育分析、生物地理制图、种群遗传学和生态位模型的整合，阐明了它们的进化历史和当前的生态偏好。生态位模型表明，与更专门化的甲螨相比，甲螨具有更广泛的环境耐受性。生态位重叠分析显示地理重叠适度，但环境生态位分化显著，同一性检验拒绝生态位等效的零假设。部分生态位可转移性（PNT）指数为0.79 ~ 0.81，反映了生态位的共享适宜性，而非对称生态位占用反映了物种的特异性适应。本研究强调了生态位保守性和多样性对了解物种分布和制定有效的保护策略的重要性。尽管系统发育接近，但观察到的生态位分化强调了进化历史、环境适应和生物地理因素之间复杂的相互作用，形成了这些Apodemus物种的生态位。

A recent expedition to northern Vietnam revealed an unusual eupnoan harvestman, here described as Nodogyas granatus gen. et sp. nov., which combines features of both Gyinae and Platybuninae. Its morphology includes short legs, knotted femora, heavily armed pedipalps, an unarmed ocularium, and marginal denticles on the coxae. A cladistic analysis is performed using both parsimony (with implied weighting) and Bayesian inference, based on 34 morphological characters across 23 terminals, including Nodogyas and representatives of Phalangiidae and Sclerosomatidae from both Europe and Asia. Platybuninae is tested and recovered as a clade. Both MP and BI place Gyinae within Phalangiidae, confirming that their traditional inclusion in Sclerosomatidae renders that family polyphyletic. Nodogyas is recovered within Gyinae under parsimony (albeit with very low support), but Gyinae is not monophyletic under Bayesian inference. Elongate, anteriorly directed maxillary lobes of coxa II are identified as a synapomorphy of the expanded Phalangiidae including Gyinae. Nodogyas is tentatively placed within Gyinae. This represents the first record of Phalangiidae in Vietnam and highlights a distinct montane lineage of Eupnoi in Southeast Asia.

最近对越南北部的一次考察发现了一种不寻常的欧洲收割机，这里描述为Nodogyas granatus gen. et sp. nov.，它结合了Gyinae和Platybuninae的特征。它的形态包括短腿，股节，全副武装的须肢，无武装的目镜和髋部的边缘小齿。基于23个终末的34个形态学特征，包括来自欧洲和亚洲的斑节科、指骨科和硬壳虫科的代表，采用简约法（含隐含权重）和贝叶斯推理进行了分支分析。白桦科作为一个分支进行了测试和恢复。MP和BI都将Gyinae归入指骨科，证实了它们传统上被包含在硬体虫科中，使得该科具有多系性。Nodogyas在简约的情况下在Gyinae中恢复（尽管支持度很低），但Gyinae在贝叶斯推断下不是单系的。长，前指向的上颌骨裂片的髋II被确定为一个突触形的扩大指节科，包括Gyinae。Nodogyas暂定在Gyinae内。这是在越南首次记录到的蝴蝶兰科植物，并突出了东南亚地区独特的山地系。
