A new species of Smith 1925 (Anura, Megophryidae) from Lai Chau Province, Vietnam.

Background: The genus (Anura, Megophryidae) was originally described, based on the type species from Sarawak (Malaysia), Smith. The taxa in the group were previously classified into different genera, i.e, Liu; Dubois; Delorme, Dubois, Grosjean & Ohler; and Dubois, Grosjean, Ohler, Adler & Zhao.

Multivariate analysis of craniodental morphology in mouse-eared bats (Chiroptera, Vespertilionidae, ) from Vietnam.

This study conducted biostatistical multivariate analyses on 23 craniodental morphological measurements from 209 specimens to study interspecific variations amongst 15 bat species of the genus in Vietnam. Univariate and multivariate analyses demonstrated that the studied species can be divided into four groups as follows: extra-large-sized species (), large-sized species (, and ), medium-sized species (, , , , , and ) and small-sized species (, M.aff.

Southbound - the southernmost record of (Amphibia, Caudata, Salamandridae) from the Central Highlands of Vietnam represents a new species.

A new species of the genus is described from Ngoc Linh Mountain, Kon Tum Province, in the Central Highlands of Vietnam based on integrative taxonomy, namely by combining molecular and morphological evidence. differs from all other congeners based on morphological data, allopatric distribution, and molecular divergence. In terms of genetic divergence, distinctly differs from the sister species (6.

New record and dietary ecology of a poorly known frog, Wang, Li, Du, Hou & Yu, 2022 (Amphibia, Anura, Ranidae), from Ha Giang Province, Vietnam.

Background: The Hekou Torrent Frog () was recently discovered from southern China and northern Vietnam in 2022. The knowledge about natural history and feeding ecology of this species is virtually lacking.

New Information: Based on our recent fieldwork in northern Vietnam, we report a new population of from Ha Giang Province.

A new species of Xenophrys (Amphibia: Anura: Megophryidae) from Truong Son Range, Vietnam.

A new species of Xenophrys is described from Truong Son Range in Central Vietnam based on morphological and molecular differences. The new species is distinguishable from its congeners by a combination of the following characters: Size medium (SVL 58.871.

Species discrimination of novel chloroplast DNA barcodes and their application for identification of (Aralioideae, Araliaceae).

Certain species within the genus L. (Araliaceae) contain pharmacological precious ginsenosides, also known as ginseng saponins. Species containing these compounds are of high commercial value and are thus of particular urgency for conservation.
