- A new species of Moina, named Moina siamensis sp. nov., has been identified from Thailand's freshwater ecosystems, which is part of the Cladocera group.
- The species is closely related to M. weismanni and can be mistaken for it due to similar physical traits in females and males, but they differ significantly in the structure of their ephippium.
- Future research using genetic markers is recommended to further explore the distribution and diversity of these species, as the unique features of their ephippium could help distinguish between different populations.
A small freshwater prawn in Thailand has been found to be a new species and is named Macrobrachium suphanense (Decapoda: Palaemonidae). Fully grown male M. suphanense appeared very different from the most closely related male of M.
