Morphological and molecular data warrant the description of a new species of the genus (Anura, Megophryidae) from the Central Himalaya.

Recent phylogenetic studies in Himalayan lazy toads of the genus Theobald, 1868 revealed the presence of genetically deeply divergent lineages. The taxonomy of sensu lato was re-assessed based on museum material considering molecular and morphological data. The results strongly support the recognition of a new species, distributed along the Nepalese Kanjiroba massif.

Resolving species boundaries in the species group (Gastropoda, Pterotracheoidea).

Atlantid heteropods are a family of holoplanktonic marine gastropods that occur primarily in tropical and subtropical latitudes. Atlantids bear a delicate aragonitic shell (<14 mm) and live in the upper ocean, where ocean acidification and ocean warming have a pronounced effect. Therefore, atlantids are likely to be sensitive to these ocean changes.
