A new species in the monotypic genus Symbioribates, S. aokii sp. nov., is described on the basis of adult material collected from canopy habitats and wind traps in the Ryukyu Archipelago, southwestern Japan. Symbioribates aokii sp. nov. expresses different dimorphism in the octotaxic system from that of the type species, S. papuensis Aoki, 1966. The characteristics of this genus and its relationships to others of the superfamily Oripodoidea are discussed and a revised diagnosis of the family is given.

A New Global Mangrove Height Map with a 12 meter spatial resolution.

Mangrove forests thrive along global tropical coasts, acting as a barrier that protects coastlines against storm surges and as nurseries for an entire food web. They are also known for their high carbon sequestration rates and soil carbon stocks. We introduce a new global mangrove canopy height map generated from TanDEM-X spaceborne elevation measurements collected during the 2011-2013 period with a 12-meter spatial resolution and an accuracy of 2.

Revealing the status of forests is important for sustainable forest management. The basis of the concept lies in meeting the needs of future generations and today's generations in the management of forests. The use of remote-sensing (RS) technologies and geographic information systems (GIS) techniques in revealing the current forest structure and in long-term planning of forest areas with multipurpose planning techniques is increasing day by day.

Article Synopsis
- Understanding the distribution of the Indian crested porcupine (Hystrix indica) is crucial for conservation efforts in human-dominated landscapes, particularly in the Parsa-Koshi Complex of Nepal.
- Researchers deployed cameras at 154 sites and found moderate occupancy (0.321) and detection probability (0.315) of porcupines, with higher occurrences in protected areas compared to outside.
- The study revealed that porcupine occupancy is positively influenced by agricultural land and human presence, while it decreases with more forest canopy cover, indicating the species' adaptability but also the potential for increased human-wildlife conflicts.

Legume content (LC) in grass-legume mixtures is important for assessing forage quality and optimizing fertilizer application in meadow fields. This study focuses on differences in LC measurements obtained from unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) images and ground surveys based on dry matter assessments in seven meadow fields in Hokkaido, Japan. We propose a UAV-based LC (LC) estimation and mapping method using a land cover map from a simple linear iterative clustering (SLIC) algorithm and a random forest (RF) classifier.

Introduction: Introduction: Light is not only essential for plant photosynthesis and growth, but also acts as a signal to regulate its secondary metabolism. Despite the influence of light quality on the yield and flavonoid compounds in commercial crops is well-documented, its role in regulating wild understorey species, particularly medicine plants whose flavonoid biosynthesis driven by multiple spectral regions of canopy sunlight, is less understood.
Methods: To address it, we conducted a light-quality manipulation experiment on Georgi, a widespread understorey medicinal species, with light-emitting diodes (LED).
