We redescribe the type material of Phyllodactylus siamensis Boulenger, 1899, type species of the Southeast Asian gekkonid genus Dixonius Bauer, Good & Branch, 1997, using external morphology and cranial osteology. There is some evidence that the type series contains more than one species; we hence designate a lectotype in order to stabilize nomenclature and provide more precision on the geographical location of the type locality. Because the current concept of Dixonius siamensis auctorum is incomplete and composite, we provide a revised diagnosis based on the presently designated lectotype and a paralectotype from the same locality, as well as observations on new material from the type locality and the first photographs of live topotypical individuals.

Despite some newly discovered stathmopodids exhibiting characteristics matching the original description, the lack of information regarding the type specimen depository led to the species remaining elusive since its initial naming. In this study, we successfully rediscovered a P.

- The Mesilau Stream Toad (Ansonia guibei) is a rare species found only in a specific area of Mount Kinabalu, Borneo, and is threatened by habitat loss due to a major earthquake in 2015, which severely impacted its population.
- After a survey in 2017 failed to find any specimens, it was declared Critically Endangered by the IUCN.
- However, recent surveys in late 2023 discovered a single subadult toad and tadpoles in local waterways, indicating that the species is still breeding and has some resilience, leading to ongoing efforts for its conservation.
Reviving lost shadows: investigating the habitat ecology of the rediscovered hispid hare () in Nepal.

Department of Geosciences and Geography, University of Helsinki, Helsinki, Finland.
The endangered hispid hare () is one of the least studied mammal species. The recent rediscovery of hispid hare in Chitwan National Park (CNP) after three decades, necessitated urgent conservation measures. A detailed investigation into the species' ecology is imperative for developing evidence-based conservation strategies to support these efforts.

Division of Molecular Oncology & Immunology, Netherlands Cancer Institute, Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
Purpose: The treatment efficacy of nivolumab was evaluated in patients with advanced, treatment-refractory solid mismatch repair deficiency/microsatellite-instable (dMMR/MSI) tumors, and in-depth biomarker analyses were performed to inform precision immunotherapy approaches.
Patients And Methods: Patients with dMMR/MSI tumors who exhausted standard-of-care treatment options were enrolled in the Drug Rediscovery Protocol, a pan-cancer clinical trial that treats patients with cancer based on their tumor molecular profile with off-label anticancer drugs (NCT02925234). Patients received nivolumab (four cycles of 240 mg every 2 weeks, thereafter 480 mg every 4 weeks).
