A new species of rock-dwelling Leiolepis is described from the Khorat Plateau in northeastern Thailand. glaurung sp. nov. can be differentiated all other sexual by a combination having black gular region with wide medial yellow stripe, ventrum mottling, bright red to orange subcaudal coloration, reduced no expandable flanks, and only one transverse bar on flanks. This first rocky habitat-adapted . demonstrates numerous ecological adaptations survive these habitats. are known for their flanks...
Abstract Leiolepis ocellata is a lizard species distributing in topographically diverse habitats northern Thailand. To explore its evolutionary history, 113 samples of L. were collected from 11 localities covering distributional range Thailand, and sequenced for mtDNA fragments (Cyt b ND2 ). Pairwise comparisons across sampling yielded significant genetic differentiation ( F ST Jost's D ) but no clear pattern isolation by distance could be demonstrated based on the Mantel test. Phylogenetic...
A total of 20 individual Phylloscopus warblers in the ‘Blyth’s Leaf Warbler P. reguloides lineage’, caught for ringing non-breeding season Thailand and Myanmar, were resolved via mtDNA assay as (seven individuals), Claudia’s claudiae (12) Hartert’s goodsoni (one). As expected, proved to be most widely distributed. The occurrence four on an island Thai Gulf, alongside large numbers typically Sundaic wintering species northbound migration during late March–early April, indicates that its range...
Abstract Identification of Y chromosomal haplogroups holds significance in the study human evolution. In this context, an alternative approach named HaploSight was introduced for identifying haplogroups. This relied on algorithm matched and unmatched informative SNPs extracted from reference phylogenetic tree, implemented Python. demonstrated high accuracy offered adequate depth haplogroup analysis. Furthermore, it compatible with various genotyping arrays, enabling users to work both...
We present non-breeding season records of the recently named Alpine Leaf Warbler Phylloscopus occisinensis from Bangladesh (four individuals) and northern Thailand (one). Identification was based on mitochondrial DNA assay feathers or blood birds handled during ringing. Tickell's P. affinis (sensu lato) abundant in scrub scattered trees at margins wetlands north-east Bangladesh, whilst record represents a significant eastwards extension previously recorded wintering range. Further sampling...
The history of collecting and cataloging Thailand’s diverse herpetofauna is long-standing, with many specimens housed at the Thailand Natural History Museum (THNHM). This work aimed to assess diversity within THNHM collection, ascertain conservation status species, track geographical coverage these country. collection boasts an impressive inventory, numbering 173 amphibian species 335 reptile species. reflects substantial biodiversity taxonomic groups, rivaling total number ever recorded in...
Predicting available habitat and the fine scale distribution of an endemic butterfly lizard, Leiolepis ocellata, is important for conservation since its populations are experiencing threats from anthropogenic activities. We conducted field surveys in northern Thailand detected L. ocellata at 15 16 surveyed localities. then used Maxent to predict potential based on presence-only data collected museum specimens predictor variables (19 bioclimatic variables). The most optimal model confirmed...
