The forests of the Juruá River basin are known for their enormous vertebrate diversity, despite being one of the least sampled regions in the entire Amazonia. Our recent expeditions to the region resulted in the discovery of a Ranitomeya species with blue-green dorsal stripes and quite peculiar behavior. Here, it is described as a new species using morphological, morphometric, advertisement call, natural history, and genetic data. This new species is strongly nested within the R.vanzolinii clade, with interspecific p-distances ranging from 2.94 to 3.91%, and it was confirmed in all the delimitation methods used. It differs from its closest relatives mainly by (i) its size (male SVL 15.4-17.7 mm, n = 8; female SVL 17.3-18.5 mm, n = 5), (ii) its unique color pattern that is metallic pale yellowish green to metallic pale turquoise-green dorsal stripes pattern, limbs metallic chrome with dark carmine spotting), (iii) presence of a conspicuous sulfur yellow spot on the dorsal surface of the thighs, (iv) tadpoles with posterior tooth rows P1 > P2 > P3 in all stages, head translucent brownish and lack of emarginate lateral papillae, and (v) its advertisement call (composed of 21-45 notes, call duration of 647-1,424 ms, note rate of 28-36 notes/s and dominant frequency of 4,996-6,288 Hz).","PeriodicalId":24051,"journal":{"name":"ZooKeys","volume":"1236 ","pages":"51-83"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12048821/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143999205","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}

Traditional morphological methods often fail to resolve species boundaries; however, DNA barcoding, particularly through the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene, provides a powerful complementary method for accurate species identification. This study establishes a comprehensive DNA barcode library for Iranian passerine birds, analyzing 546 COI sequences from 94 species across 23 families and 53 genera. There is a pronounced barcode gap, with average intraspecific divergence at 0.41% and interspecific divergence at 18.6%. Notable intraspecific variation emerged in the Persian nuthatch (Sittatephronota) and the Lesser whitethroat (Currucacurruca), while the European goldfinch (Cardueliscarduelis) and the grey-crowned goldfinch (Cardueliscaniceps) showed limited genetic differentiation despite marked morphological distinctions. Phylogenetic analysis revealed significant east-west genetic splits in C.curruca and S.tephronota, reflecting Iran's geographic and zoogeographic boundaries. These findings demonstrate the effectiveness of DNA barcoding in elucidating biogeographic patterns, emphasizing Iran's key role as an ornithological crossroads for avian biodiversity. Moreover, our results suggest that much of the genetic variation in the COI gene arises from synonymous mutations, highlighting the role of purifying selection in shaping mtDNA diversity across species.","PeriodicalId":24051,"journal":{"name":"ZooKeys","volume":"1236 ","pages":"19-39"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12046340/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144048097","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}

Despite this diversity and the potential importance as models for speciation, Lethrus species are underrepresented in molecular databases. To fill this gap, we report the complete mitochondrial genome of Lethrusscoparius obtained using third-generation sequencing technology. The circular mitogenome is 24,944 bp long and has a structure characteristic of coleopterans. It contains 37 genes, including 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and an A+T-rich non-coding region, the control region between the 12S rRNA and tRNA-Ile (GAU). The phylogenetic analysis of the superfamily Scarabaeoidea placed L.scoparius in the monophyletic family Geotrupidae, which is related to the family Scarabaeidae. The assembled mitochondrial genome is a valuable new genomic resource in the genus Lethrus and contributes to a better understanding of the evolutionary history of the genus and the entire family Geotrupidae.","PeriodicalId":24051,"journal":{"name":"ZooKeys","volume":"1236 ","pages":"1-17"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12046339/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144016999","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}
