Two new cave-adapted pseudoscorpion species belonging to the family Chthoniidae are described: from Biyu Cave (Yunnan: Luxi) and from Laoxueyan Cave (Yunnan: Yanshan). Both of them, collected from the dark zone of caves, are highly troglomorphic species.

Human-induced global alterations have worsened the severe decrease in fish biodiversity in rivers. To successfully reduce the pace of reduction in fish diversity, it is crucial to prioritize the understanding of how human activities impact the processes that shape and maintain fish diversity. Traditional fish survey methods are based on catch collection and morphological identification, which is often time-consuming and ineffective.

Article Synopsis
- This study focuses on a newly isolated lytic phage, A1432, from a karst cave, which shows promise as an alternative treatment for infections caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria, specifically targeting the opportunistic pathogen YCR3A-1.
- Phage A1432 exhibits distinct structural features, including an icosahedral head and a shorter tail, and demonstrates effective bacteriolytic activity at a specific multiplicity of infection.
- Genomic analysis reveals that phage A1432 has a genome length of 61,660 bp, shares 81.46% similarity with another phage, and appears to belong to a novel genus, indicating significant genetic diversity among isolated phages
Article Synopsis

Liang & Cai, 1999, a genus of atyid shrimp, is endemic to China and distributed only in the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. We describe here the thirteen species of , and the first cave-dweller of the genus, , collected from a limestone cave in Shilin County, Yunnan Province. This species can be distinguished from its congeners by the completely degraded pigment and eyes, the extremely long rostrum, the rostral formula and the absence of sexual dimorphism of the third and fourth pereiopods.
