Estimating ecological metrics for holistic conservation management in a biodiverse but information‐poor tropical region by Christian Devenish, Elio Nuñez Cortez, Graeme Buchanan, Graham R. Smith, Stuart J. Marsden

“…We present metrics identifying distributions, site‐level and global abundance, site‐contextualized habitat requirements, and threats for seven dry forest endemic birds (two threatened, one Near Threatened) in the globally important Tumbes region of Peru. Extents of occurrence ranged from 36,000 to 152,000 km2, and while broad distributions were generally congruent, nearly half of species overlapped <50% of their range with other species. …”

Proposal of <i>Brotulella</i> n. gen. for Monogeneans from the Gills of the Pacific Bearded Brotula <i>Brotula clarkae</i> Hubbs, 1944 (<i>Ophidiiformes: Ophidiidae</i>) Based on M... by Celso Luis Cruces, Raquel Simões, Arnaldo Maldonado Júnior, Ruperto Severino, Jhon Darly Chero, José Luis Luque

“…(type species) and <i>Brotulella luisahelenae</i> n. sp. on the gill filaments of the Pacific bearded brotula <i>Brotula clarkae</i> Hubbs, 1944 (<i>Ophidiiformes: Ophidiidae</i>) from Puerto Pizarro in the Tumbes region (northern Peru). Species of the new genus are distinguished from all other dactylogyrids by the combination of the following features: (1) anchors with a stocking-shaped sheath associated with the distal end of superficial and deep roots, (2) tandem gonads, (3) a vas deferens looping left intestinal caecum, (4) a distally twisted male copulatory organ (MCO) with a delicate membranous accessory piece articulated to the shaft of the MCO, (5) a U-shaped ovary, (6) an almost sigmoid seminal vesicle, and (7) two prostatic reservoirs with thick muscular walls. …”
