The linguistics of odour in Semaq Beri and Semelai, two Austroasiatic languages of the Malay Peninsula by Kruspe, N, Majid, A

Thismia sitimeriamiae (Thismiaceae), an extraordinary new species from Terengganu, Peninsular Malaysia by Siti-Munirah, MY, Dome, N, Thorogood, CJ

“…We describe an extraordinary new species in the genus Thismia from the Terengganu State of Malaysia in the Malay Peninsula. The new species, which we name Thismia sitimeriamiae, is distinct from all other Thismia species known to science, most notably in its unique mitre configuration formed by the inner tepals and its floral surface morphology characterised by conspicuous orange trichomes. …”

“…Repeated reintroduction was observed within the Malay Peninsula, and between countries bordered by the Mekong river. …”

Hong Kong-Malay film connections (1960s-1980s) by Yeo, MH

“…Through examining the different kinds of border-crossings that underpin these films, the dissertation illustrates how sociopolitical and industrial changes in Hong Kong and the Malay Peninsula during this highly fluctuating times provided the essential impetuses for these crossovers, and contends that the cultural and political distances therein were crucially bridged, though certainly not without conflict and contestation, through a reworking of the Malay body, an act of passing and the suturing together of the tourist and cinematic gaze. …”

Myanmar Burkholderia pseudomallei strains are genetically diverse and originate from Asia with phylogenetic evidence of reintroductions from neighbouring countries by Webb, JR, Win, MM, Zin, KN, Win, KKN, Wah, TT, Ashley, EA, Smithuis, F, Swe, MMM, Mayo, M, Currie, BJ, Dance, DAB

“…Recent genomic studies showed that B. pseudomallei originated in Australia and spread to Asia, with phylogenetic evidence of repeated reintroduction of B. pseudomallei across countries bordered by the Mekong River and the Malay Peninsula. We present the first whole-genome sequences of B. pseudomallei isolates from Myanmar: nine clinical and seven environmental isolates. …”

Petrogenesis, U-Pb zircon geochronology and tectonic evolution of the Malaysian granite provinces in the Southeast Asian tin belt by Ng, W

“…The second model is less likely, as no geological evidence for such underthrust is found in the Malay Peninsula.</p>…”

Predicting biodiversity richness in rapidly changing landscapes: Climate, low human pressure or protection as salvation? by Macdonald, DW, Chiaverini, L, Bothwell, HM, Kaszta, Ż, Ash, E, Bolongon, G, Can, ÖE, Campos-Arceiz, A, Channa, P, Clements, GR, Hearn, AJ, Hedges, L, Htun, S, Kamler, JF, Macdonald, EA, Moore, J, Naing, H, Onuma, M, Rasphone, A, Rayan, DM, Ross, J, Singh, P, Tan, CKW, Wadey, J, Yadav, BP, Cushman, SA

“…(i) We identified clear spatial patterns of species richness, with two main biodiverse centres in the Thai-Malay Peninsula and in the mountainous region of Southwest China. …”

Prioritising conservation areas in Southeast Asia: highlighting zoological biodiversity hotspots and assessing spatiotemporal patterns of the felids guild by Chiaverini, L

“…In the continental extents of Southeast Asia, the most biodiverse areas occurred in the mountainous region of Southwest China and in the Thai-Malay Peninsula, both characterised by an extent ranging between 250 and 300 km2, providing a more precise distribution of the terrestrial vertebrate biodiversity within the original biodiversity hotspots that, otherwise, have a total extent of almost 3,500,000 km2 in the mainland. …”
