Two new toad species of the genus are described from the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau of China, based on the combination of molecular and morphological data. The description of Wang, Lyu, Qi & Wang, from Huanglianshan Nature Reserve represents the thirteenth species known from Yunnan Province, and the description of Wang, Lyu, Qi & Wang, from Yushe Forest Park represents the sixth species known from Guizhou Province. These new discoveries further emphasize the extremely high diversity of the toads in these regions.

The genus is distributed in the eastern three rivers on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau and its adjacent regions, located to the southeast of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Its origin and evolution are likely influenced by the uplift of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. However, the historical impact of geological events on the divergence and distribution of this fish group has not been fully elucidated.

The diversity of liverworts in China is rich. It is of great significance to study the species distribution pattern of liverworts in China for the protection of liverworts diversity, flora research and biodiversity monitoring. On the basis of records from national and provincial liverwort lists, herbaria and online databases, a dataset of liverwort distributions was created to analyze the geographical distribution patterns of liverwort species diversity in China.

Excessive use of chemical fertilizers and extensive farming can degrade soil properties so that leading to decline in crop yields. Combining plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) with biochar (BC) may be an alternative way to mitigate this situation. However, the proportion of PGPR and BC at which crop yield can be improved, as well as the improvement effect extent on different eco-geographic region and crops, remain unclear.

Background: The Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau's high-altitude setting is characterized by intense solar ultraviolet radiation, a significant environmental stressor that frequently leads to skin barrier damage. This damage presents clinically as erythema, itching, and desquamation, underscoring the need for effective reparative interventions.
Aims: The objective of this study was to assess the therapeutic efficacy of a novel treatment protocol that integrates non-crosslinked hyaluronic acid (HA) injection with microneedle application of human epidermal growth factor (hEGF) for the restoration of skin barrier function in regions of high altitude.

The rapid expansion of reservoirs, coupled with increasing eutrophication, has profoundly influenced regional and global carbon cycles. To precisely assess the carbon sink potential of reservoirs, it is crucial to quantify the decomposition of endogenous particulate organic carbon (POC) during the deposition and sinking of particulate matter in reservoirs. This is particularly important in the context of rising temperatures and intensified human activities.
