A new species of Rhinolophus in the pusillus group is described from Ratchaburi, Kamphaeng Phet and Loei Provinces where it was found evergreen forest at elevations ranging 550 to 1,320 m a.s.l. It distinguished R. shortridgei other similar same by its broad, parallel-sided sella, which squared-off tip, relatively large body size with a forearm length 42.2–44.1 mm, bulbous rostral swellings. The echolocation frequency hand-held individuals 84.1–93.0 kHz. Bayesian analyses 654 bp cytochrome...
A new species of Murina the suilla-type is described from Hkakabo Razi Landscape, Kachin, Upper Myanmar, an area that currently being nominated as a World Heritage Site. The small vespertilionid, with forearm length 29.6 mm, and very similar to M. kontumensis, which was recently Vietnam. However, it distinguishable by combination external craniodental morphology genetics. DNA Barcode reveals clusters sisterly kontumensis but genetic distance 11.5%. single known specimen collected lowland...
Trichoptera were surveyed from four different physiographic regions of the Lower Mekong River, including Northern Highlands, Khorat Plateau, Tonle Sap Basin and Delta in Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia Vietnam.
Myanmar, recognized for its rich biodiversity in South, Southeast, and East Asia, continues to unveil new avian taxa record significant species range extensions. This study presents analyzes bird observations from 2010 2023, emphasizing less accessible regions like the Hkakabo Razi Landscape, Shan States, Tanintharyi, Ayeyarwady delta. Utilizing audio-visual records, we document 13 species, including extensions novel sightings. Our findings highlight Myanmar’s critical role biodiversity,...
Recent studies have shown the importance of Myanmar for conservation bat diversity. In March–April, 2003, twenty-five localities in Kachin and Shan States Mandalay Sagaing Divisions Upper were surveyed using mist nets harp traps. Of twenty-three species collected, thirteen recorded from two State, one which has already been described as a new species, Kerivoula kachinensis, further (a Rhinolophus Kerivoula) are putative species. Murina tubinararis, cyclotis shameli first time over 65 years,...
A new species of Kerivoula is described. Currently, it known only from Namdee Forest in southern Kachin State, Myanmar. Externally, superficially similar to papillosa and with a dentition comparable that lenis, distinguished by its flattened skull. It was collected evergreen forest an area also includes some mixed deciduous forest, shifting cultivation, bamboo groves.
The gradient from natural to urban areas strongly associates with the structure of avian communities over that gradient. Most research on birds is temperate and knowledge tropical Southeast Asia lacking. We examined bird species diversity, relative abundance, composition along an rural in three Myanmar cities, assessed potential environmental factors responsible for changes. counted within 40 point-count sites 50-m fixed-radius large cities Myanmar, namely Mandalay, Mawlamyine, Myeik....
Urbanization is known to be a major driver in abundance and species richness of birds. However, how birds respond urbanization tropical cities understudied general entirely absent from Myanmar. We conducted study around Mandalay, large city central Myanmar gather first data on their response urbanization. selected four habitats with 10 sampling points each November 2015. made 1,536 observations 68 bird species. The number diversity significantly differed between the localities. Mandalay Hill...
Summary The Hkakabo Razi region located in northern Myanmar is an Important Bird Area and part of the Eastern Himalayan Biodiversity Hotspot. Within framework World Heritage Convention to enlist site under criterion (ix) (x), we conducted a biodiversity assessment for passerine birds using DNA barcoding other molecular markers. Of 441 bird species recorded, chose 16 target comparative phylogeographic study. Genetic analysis was performed larger number helped identifying misidentified...
Abstract The Hkakabo Razi Landscape, in northern Kachin, Myanmar, is one of the largest remaining tracts intact forest South-east Asia. In 2016, we undertook a survey its southern margins to assess bat diversity, distribution and ecology evaluate importance area for global conservation. Two collecting trips had taken place 1931 1933, with four species reported. We recorded 35 species, 18 which are new Kachin. One Murina hkakaboraziensis , was science three, Megaerops niphanae Phoniscus...
Rosy Starlings Pastor roseus are a widespread species in Europe and Central Asia, have been found southern Southeast Asia but hardly on passage so far. Here we report first record of from Myanmar, the Hkakabo Razi Landscape.
In November 2018 and on 24 October 2019, we recorded an individual of a distinct looking bird with blackish-brown plumage at Inle Lake, Shan State, Myanmar. Based its characters, identified it as pale morph Parasitic Jaeger, Stercorarius parasiticus. This is the first record species from inland freshwater lake in Southeast Asia habitat We discuss status importance for
Recent studies have shown the importance of Myanmar for conservation three ‘Critically Endangered’ vulture populations. From November 2022 to March 2023, we carried out rapid surveys on nests and nesting tree characteristics in Ke Hsi Township, Shan Highlands. We recorded 10 White-rumped Vultures, Gyps bengalensis, five trees from four different localities. Six were active, six nestlings observed; inactive or abandoned. Most Ficus spp. mean nest height was 13.6 m (SD ± 4.1) above ground....
Presence of the Critically Endangered Gyps vulture populations in northern Shan State, Myanmar. On 27 November 2018, we observed a flock G. bengalensis, tenuirostris, and himalayanensis Man Sant Village, Mong Yai Township, Northern The most notable feature our observation was presence bengalensis tenuirostris: could observe as many 38 vultures three species.
On 09 June 2015, a Common Water Monitor Varanus salvator (Laurenti, 1768) was observed and photographed (Image 1) on the campus of Banmaw University, (Bhamo), Kachin State, Myanmar (24018’15”N & 97015’52”E). Subsequently, second individual 140km to west at Banmauk, Sagaing Division (24024’N 95051’E). These two observations are first records from Upper since Anderson (1878). It would be interesting conduct follow-up studies determine whether this is indeed relict northern population.
White-bellied Heron Ardea insignis is a critically endangered species. The population in decline and the range significnatly shrinking. Here we report some recent sightings/photo proof of species form one last refuges Hkakabo Razi Landscape since 2016.
In April 2022, in northern Shan State, Myanmar, a Bengal Slow Loris Nycticebus bengalensis, an Endangered species, was observed entering house and feeding on two Eurasian Tree Sparrows Passer montanus. This observation provides new information about the diet of bengalensis its habituation to highly disturbed urban environment.
In March 2019, a Stripe-backed Weasel, Mustela strigidorsa, was observed in Hkakabo Razi Landscape, Myanmar. Although geographically widespread southeastern Asia and neighboring areas of northeastern India southern China, relatively little is known this small carnivore, which seldom recorded camera traps or seen the wild. Myanmar, there are 24 previously published records, almost all from mountainous areas. The recent sighting solitary animal, foraging at an altitude 580 m thickly vegetated...
