Article Synopsis
  • The terrestrial semislug genus, which belongs to the Helicarionidae family, includes nine species found in Thailand and Myanmar, with two species based solely on shell characteristics.
  • The taxonomy of these species is discussed using comparative morphology, leading to revised descriptions for four existing species, and the reclassification of another species into this genus.
  • Two new species, Pholyotha & Panha, sp. nov., are introduced, and unique shell and genital features are highlighted as distinguishing factors, with only one species lacking a dart apparatus.

The patent ductus arteriosus is a very common condition in preterm infants, and a hemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus increases morbidity and mortality in these vulnerable patients. However, despite numerous randomized controlled trials, there is no consensus regarding management. Medical therapy is typically offered as first-line treatment, although it yields limited success and carries the potential for severe adverse events.

The taxonomy of subulinid snails in Myanmar has been evaluated, resulting in the recognition of 40 species and subspecies across nine genera: , , , , , , , , and . Nine species are re-described based on recently collected specimens, and two new species, Man & Panha, from Mandalay Region and Man & Panha, from Shan State are introduced. The genitalia and radula of was studied for the first time.

Article Synopsis
  • Developed a flexible model for estimating upper limit populations of long-tailed macaques using camera trap images and habitat preference mapping.
  • The model combines environmental data, GPS data, and direct sightings to produce estimated population numbers, optimized through a parameter representing inquisitiveness.
  • Results indicate that long-tailed macaque populations are up to 80% smaller than expected, highlighting the model's accuracy and potential as a noninvasive tool for wildlife conservation across species.
