For nearly half a century, the East Asian sand-dust system (SDS) has undergone complex changes in intensity and has become a new focus of attention. To date, there are many uncertainties in understanding the complex observational facts of SDS using commonly used single-climate models. This study suggests that the SDS is an organized weather system that grows under the support of an atmospheric westerly belt environment (including water, soil, aerosol composition, and climate change).

Asian sand dust (ASD), a significant desert sand dust, contains sub-2.5 µm fine particles and adversely affects human health, particularly exacerbating respiratory diseases. Despite this, the intricate physiological responses triggered by inhaled ASD particles remain incompletely understood.

The pitviper species Trimeresurus caudornatus was recently described based on only two specimens from Nabang Town, Yingjiang County, Yunnan Province, China. Here, we provide additional data on this species based on a re-examination of 19 preserved specimens, 16 specimens reported in earlier literature sources, and additional photo-documented records from northern Myanmar (Burma) and adjacent China. All new specimens were previously identified as Trimeresurus albolabris sensu lato or Trimeresurus septentrionalis sensu lato.

Article Synopsis
- - The wolf snake species Lycodon sidiki, previously known from a single specimen, is now reported with new characteristics and a wider range based on a study of eight preserved specimens.
- - This research provides the first record of Lycodon sidiki from Padang in West Sumatra Province and updates its diagnostic features.
- - Additionally, the study highlights distinguishing traits from related species in the Lycodon fasciatus group and updates the identification key for Lycodon species found on Sumatra Island.
Article Synopsis
- A new species of green pitviper named Trimeresurus cyanolabris sp. nov. has been identified in southern and central coastal Vietnam, based on both physical features and DNA analysis.
- This species is characterized by its small size (maximum 638 mm), distinct scale patterns, and unique coloration, including bright yellow eyes and blue shades on its throat and chin.
- The study highlights the phylogenetic separation of this species from similar ones, particularly T. rubeus, and emphasizes the ecological significance of its habitat in tropical forests, which is threatened by deforestation.
