Species are often presumed to be apparent in nature, but practice they may difficult recognise, especially when viewed across continents rather than within a single site. Coalescent-based Poisson-tree-process (PTP) models applied fast-evolving genes promise one quantitative criterion for recognising species, complete with the estimates of uncertainty that required scientific method. Such methods face challenges discerning between widespread polytypic species and complexes closely related,...
The challenges of bee research in Asia are unique and severe, reflecting different cultures, landscapes, faunas. Strategies frameworks developed North America or Europe may not prove applicable. Virtually none these species have been assessed by the IUCN there is a paucity public data on even basics distribution. If we do know present, their distribution threats, cannot protect them, but our knowledge base vanishingly small compared to rest world. To better understand meet challenges, this...
Worldwide pollinator declines have dramatically increased our need to survey and monitor distributions abundances. The giant honey bee, Apis laboriosa, is one of the important pollinators at higher altitudes Himalayas. This species has a restricted distribution along Himalayas neighbouring mountain ranges Asia. Previous assessments its distribution, published more than 20 years ago, were based on museum specimens. Since then, 244 additional localities been revealed through field trips by...
Bhutan has been witnessing a trend of increasing diabetes in recent years. The increase is attributed to rise risk factors such as overweight, high blood pressure, unhealthy diet and sedentary lifestyle among the population. To address rising burden, health-services response establish clinics all hospitals grade one basic health units. People visiting centres who have symptoms for are screened using World Health Organization cut-off level glucose. They then classified into prediabetes...
This paper presents the results of a study conducted on species composition serpent fauna in Trashigang Territorial Forest Division (TTFD), Bhutan. The survey was from August 2019 to September 2020. aimed assess diversity, conservation threats, and distribution both venomous non-venomous snakes different habitat types using time constrained visual encounter technique. A total 34 belonging five families 23 genera were recorded. Of observed species, nine identified as species. These include...
A total of seven species from five genera, Delta de Saussure, 1855, Eumenes Latreille, 1802, Pareumenes (de 1855), Labus 1867, and Zethus Fabricius, 1804, belonging to the subfamily Eumeninae family Vespidae are documented. quadrispinosus acutus Liu, 1941, esuriens (Fabricius, 1787), D. conoideum (Gmelin, 1790), E. gibbosus Nguyen, 2015, pusillus van der Vecht, 1963 dolosus Bingham, 1897, including subspecies P. q. new records for Bhutan.
Two species of stingless bees, Tetragonula gressitti (Sakagami) and Lepidotrigona arcifera (Cockerell), are reported from Bhutan for the first time. The nest description meliponiculture described. This is gross underestimation Meliponini diversity in summons more study on diversity, biology, meliponiculture.
An overview is given of literature containing distribution records dragonflies and damselflies in Bhutan. Based on this an annotated checklist presented which contains 92 species. Camacinia gigantea (Brauer, 1867) Libellago lineata (Burmeister, 1839) are listed as new to

Two species of the subfamily Stenogastrinae, Parischnogaster mellyi (de Saussure, 1852) and (Bingham, 1897), are reported from subtropical region Bhutan for first time. Distribution supported with GPS positions main identification characters micrographs have been given observed species. Notes on nest structure location P. provided as active nest.
The social vespid wasps (Hymenoptera: Vespidae: Vespinae and Polistinae) was studied in Bhutan during 2014-2016
Fruit set in the orchids wild Bhutan seems to be generally higher than surrounding countries Asia. To obtain more knowledge on local pollinators Bhutan, were photographed private Orchidarium, over a period of six years. A total 10 insect species, belonging orders Diptera (true flies), Hymenoptera (ants, bees, wasps) and Coleoptera (beetle), seen pollinating flowers 15 different orchid species (14 epiphytic 1 terrestrial). Several are reported for first time as orchids. Our study provides...
Humans are the dominant ecological and evolutionary force on planet today, transforming habitats, polluting environments, changing climates. Obstruction to passage of flowing rivers has a significant environmental impact fish. It causes rippling effects wildlife, food web, habitat throughout river ecosystem. However, little is known about how these fragmented habitats aquatic avifaunal diversity composition along stretch river. The Kurichhu hydropower dam disconnected continuity upper lower...
We report Polygala longifolia Poir. as a new record, confirming that it is component of the flora Bhutan. The specimen was observed thriving on dry slopes in Chir pine forest (27.36655°N, 91.58034°E, altitude 1760 m) eastern In this report, comprehensive overview species’ distribution made. A detailed description collected provided, including phenological details.
The breeding activity of Himalayan sucker frog (Amolops himalayanus), was studied under natural conditions at Bodidrang stream, Kanglung, Trashigang, Bhutan, for 12 months. We examined the correlation between meteorological factors (relative humidity, temperature and rainfall) sightings adult, juvenile, tadpole/larvae individuals as well egg masses from monthly surveys using Pearson Correlation in statistical software (Python 3.6). A. himalayanus an explosive breeder influenced by high...
Despite having rich faunal diversity of butterflies in the country there is no compressive checklist butterflies. However, sighting Tawny Coster southern foothills Bhutan adds up a new species to list Bhutan.

The knowledge on subfamily Eumeninae is still in its infancy Bhutan. Eumenid species of Bhutan increased to 22 with the report 11 more and an additional subspecies this paper. Antepipona bhutanensis, endemic Bhutan, reported here after 42 years original description, through two male specimens from Paro Chhukha districts. Its distribution range expanded District.
