According to an updated list of extant non-marine ostracods, there are 2,330 subjective species in 270 genera in the world, of which 333 species are known from the Neotropical region. However, the knowledge about the ostracod fauna in Argentina is scarce, fragmented and incomplete. Thus, the aim of this study was to present the first checklist of the recent non-marine ostracods from Argentina, including geographical distributions and ecological characteristics of the species. Thus far, 66 ostracod species in 33 genera and 7 families have been recorded in non-marine Argentinian environments. Of the total number of species, 29% can be considered endemic to the country. Most of the species were recorded in alkaline, freshwater to oligohaline cold waters and mainly in low to moderate altitude environments. Our results showed that most studies were mainly carried out in the Pampean and Patagonia region and, therefore, the diversity record of ostracods in Argentina is biased towards these regions.

The snake fauna of the Andaman archipelago was studied over a duration of four years across twenty islands. This paper presents information on the species richness and taxonomy of snakes of the Andaman archipelago along with observations on natural history and a review of their distribution records, including new, precise ones. Natural history observations for some of the recently re-evaluated species are presented herein for the first time.

Sabah, a Malaysian state at the north-eastern tip of Borneo, is situated in one of the Earth's biodiversity hotspots yet its freshwater gastropod diversity remains poorly known. An annotated checklist of the freshwater gastropods is presented, based on specimens deposited in the collection of the Institute for Tropical Biology and Conservation at Universiti Malaysia Sabah, Malaysia. A KMZ file is also provided, which acts as a repository of digital images and complete collection data of all examined material, so that it can be shared and adapted to facilitate future research.
