This study aimed to update the anuran checklist of the Serra da Capivara National Park, Piauí State, northeastern Brazil, and investigate the influence of local heterogeneity on anuran abundance and richness. We recorded 16 anuran species across five families - Bufonidae, Hylidae, Leptodactylidae, Microhylidae, and Phyllomedusidae - most of which are typical Caatinga species or widely distributed taxa. Our results indicate that local heterogeneity did not significantly affect species richness; however, it had a notable impact on anuran abundance. We highlight the importance of heterogeneous habitats in supporting larger anuran populations and enhancing population stability. This study contributes to the understanding of biodiversity patterns and the primary environmental factors affecting anuran communities in Serra da Capivara National Park, offering insights to inform current and future conservation strategies.","PeriodicalId":24051,"journal":{"name":"ZooKeys","volume":"1236 ","pages":"233-248"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12070073/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144001691","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The genus Plesioaxymyia Sinclair, 2013 was first discovered in Alaska in 1962, but officially described only many years later. Up to now, the genus included one species Plesioaxymyiavespertina Sinclair, 2013, known from two female specimens from western North America. During the study of the Diptera fauna in Paanajarvi National Park (Northwest Russia), one female specimen of Plesioaxymyia, was found. It differs from the Nearctic P.vespertina by details of its female terminalia and is recognized as a new species, herein described as Plesioaxymyiaimprevista sp. nov. The biology and geographic distribution of Plesioaxymyia is briefly discussed. The phylogenetic position of the genus, along with the family Axymyiidae is analyzed in the light of new molecular data, including sequences of three mitochondrial (ribosomal 12S and 16S and protein-encoding COI) and three nuclear genes (ribosomal 18S and 28S, protein-encoding CAD) for 72 terminal taxa.

In this study, two undescribed species of wingless brachypronotal pygmy grasshoppers belonging to Metrodorinae were collected. To elucidate their taxonomic positions, the complete mitochondrial genomes of these two species were sequenced and analyzed. Phylogenetic analyses were conducted using 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs) from 28 tetrigid mitogenomes. Genetic distances and divergence times were estimated. Our results indicate that one species represents a new genus within Metrodorinae, while the other is a new species of Macromotettixoides. Consequently, a new genus and two new species of Metrodolrinae from China are described and illustrated: Edentatettix Deng, gen. nov. containing Edentatettixleyeensis Deng, sp. nov., and Macromotettixoidesyaana Deng, sp. nov. Additionally, five new synonyms are proposed: Hainantettixangustivertex (Zha & Peng, 2021), syn. nov. and Macromotettixoidesangustivertex Zha & Peng, 2021, syn. nov. of Hainantettixstrictivertex Deng, 2020; Hyboellabadagongshanensis Zheng, 2013, syn. nov., Macromotettixoidesbadagongshanensis (Zheng, 2013), syn. nov., and Macromotettixoideswuyishana Zheng, 2013, syn. nov. of Macromotettixoidesjiuwanshanensis Zheng, Wei & Jiang, 2005.
