Species of Tethionea Pascoe, 1869, Callidiopini, in the collection Museum Zoologicum Bogoriense are reviewed. Two new species genus described, T. peggieae sp. nov. and oculata nov., both from Papua Province, Indonesia. In addition, unicolor strumosa Pascoe tridentata redescribed. Their male genitalia documented illustrated detail. particular, ejaculatory duct complexes endophalli carefully obse...

To better understand the gastropod community dynamics of fresh water snails in Upper Victoria Nile (UVN), spatial and temporal abundance changes assemblage were assessed biannually from April 2006 to 2021 at three transects. Biannual abundances gastropoda obtained by a ponar grab examine their structure relation Bujagali Hydropower Project (BHP). The consisted nine speciesbelonging five familie...

With globalization the Western honey bee has become a nearly cosmopolitan species, but it was originally restricted to the Old World. This renowned model of biodiversity has diverged into five evolutionary lineages and several geographic "subspecies." If Apis mellifera unicolor is indubitably an African subspecies endemic to Madagascar, its relationship with honey bees from three archipelagos i...

The untufted, or gracile, capuchin monkeys are currently classified in four species, Cebus albifrons, C. capucinus, C. olivaceus, and C. kaapori, with all but C. kaapori having numerous described subspecies. The taxonomy is controversial and their geographic distributions are poorly known. Cebus albifrons is unusual in its disjunct distribution, with a western and central Amazonian range, a sep...

The greatest common threat to birds in Madagascar has historically been from anthropogenic deforestation. During recent decades, global climate change is now also regarded as a significant threat to biodiversity. This study uses Maximum Entropy species distribution modeling to explore how potential climate change could affect the distribution of 17 threatened forest endemic bird species, using ...
