Three new species of (Zingiberaceae) from Sabah, Malaysia.

Three new species of , , and were discovered in Sabah, Malaysia. is similar to R.M.

Two new species of (Zingiberaceae), from Sabah, Malaysia.

Two new species of , and were discovered in Sabah, Malaysian Borneo. resembles in that the leaf sheath of the plant is not thickened and in the anther thecae dehiscing by longitudinal slits, but differs in having a longer petiole and tubular calyx. resembles by the short petiole and a bilobed calyx, but differs by the truncate leaf base, the acute leaf apex, opposite leaves with a narrower lamina parallel to the ground and anther thecae dehiscing by pores.

Pleistocene isolation caused by sea-level fluctuations shaped genetic characterization of over a large-scale geographical distribution.

The southern lesser pomfret () is an economically important fish, and its numbers are declining because of overfishing and environmental pollution. In addition, owing to the similarities of its external morphological characteristics to other species in the genus , it is often mistaken for grey pomfret () or silver pomfret () juveniles. In this study, the genetic diversity and structure of 264 individuals from 11 populations in China and Malaysia coastal waters were evaluated for the first time, to the best of our knowledge, using mitochondrial cytochrome b fragments.

Twenty-one new species of the () species group (Diptera, Simuliidae) in Thailand, with their genetic relationships.

Females and males reared from pupae, their pupal exuviae and cocoons, and mature larvae of the Simulium (Gomphostilbia) asakoae species group from various localities in Thailand were morphologically examined. A total of 25 species was identified, including two of four known species ( Takaoka & Davies and Takaoka & Srisuka), one newly confirmed species ( Takaoka, Srisuka & Saeung, originally described from Myanmar), one newly transferred species ( Takaoka & Suzuki formerly of the species group), and 21 new species. Descriptions of all 21 new species are given, and the first full description of the male of , together with the revised descriptions of its female, pupa, and larva, is also provided.

Genetic diversity and population structure of (Forskål, 1775) (Teleostei, Terapontidae) in Malaysian waters.

A background study is important for the conservation and stock management of a species. is a coastal Indo-Pacific species, sourced for human consumption. This study examined 134 samples from the central west and east coasts of Peninsular (West) Malaysia and East Malaysia.
