Parapharyngodon tuberculata sp. nov., Thelandros tuberculata sp. nov. and Thelandros dehradunensis sp. nov. (Nematoda: Pharyngodonidae) from the large intestine of a rock lizard, Laudakia tuberculata Gray, 1827), are described and illustrated. Parapharyngodon tuberculata sp. nov. is the 8th Oriental species and 59th species assigned to the genus Parapharyngodon and differs from other species of the genus by possessing 3 pairs of caudal papillae, an echinate cloacal lip, 112-115 µm spicule length and postbulbar ovary. Thelandros tuberculata sp. nov. is the 5th and Thelandros dehradunensis sp. nov. the 6th Oriental species, respectively, and they are the 40th and 41st species assigned to the genus Thelandros. They differ from other species of the genus in caudal papillae arrangement, length of spicules, and structure of the anterior end of the esophagus. We transfer Parapharyngodon arequipensis Calisaya and Cordova, 1997 to Thelandros arequipensis (Calisaya and Cordova, 1997) comb. n. based upon the presence of a terminal operculum in the egg and large, pendant, caudal papillae.

On the Brazilian Exocnophila stick insects (Insecta: Phasmatodea), with the description of a new species.

Museu de Zoologia; Universidade de São Paulo; São Paulo; Brazil.
Several stick insects occurring in Brazil belong to the Diapheromerinae. Before this work, the Brazilian genus Exocnophila contained three species known only from females, Exocnophila exintegra Zompro, 2001, Exocnophila tuberculata (Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1907) and Exocnophila cornuta (Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1907). Based on recently collected material, we found that the males of Exocnophila are assigned to another genus in the Diapheromerinae, the heterogeneous Bacteria.

Article Synopsis
- The New World genus Achradocera, established by Becker in 1922, is revised to include 12 distinct species.
- This revision involves the reassessment of some species, combining A. chilensis and A. edwardsi under A. angustifacies and noting various synonyms.
- Each species is accompanied by detailed photographs, diagnostic features, a male identification key, and mapping of their known geographical distributions.
Impact of Climate Change on Distribution of Endemic Plant Section ( L.) in China: MaxEnt Model-Based Projection.
Plants (Basel)

Key Laboratory of National Forestry and Grassland Administration on Biodiversity Conservation in Karst Mountainous Areas of Southwestern China, Guizhou Academy of Forestry, Guiyang 550005, China.
Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the endemic plant group Sect. from the Theaceae family in China, highlighting its ecological and economic importance along with gaps in understanding its habitat distribution.
- Utilizing 65 occurrence records and 60 environmental factors, researchers used MaxEnt modeling to evaluate historical, present, and future habitats, revealing significant areas of high suitability mainly in regions like Guizhou and Sichuan.
- Key environmental factors influencing its distribution were identified, with the mean diurnal range being the most critical; future projections suggest habitat changes based on emission scenarios, with potential growth under low emissions but threats under high emissions.

Artificial light at night is a worldwide expanding form of pollution. Studies evaluating the effects of artificial light at night have often overlooked their impact on the photoreceptor, the basic functional structure of animals to absorb light. This is essential to understand the mechanisms by which this stressor may be impacting species.

Ticks are composed of 3 extant families (Argasidae, Ixodidae and Nuttalliellidae) and 2 extinct families (Deinocrotonidae and Khimairidae). The Nuttalliellidae possess one extant species () limited to the Afrotropic region. A basal relationship to the hard and soft tick families and its limited distribution suggested an origin for ticks in the Afrotropics.
