A New Species of Pitviper (Serpentes: Viperidae: <i>Trimeresurus</i> Lacepède, 1804) from West Kameng District, Arunachal Pradesh, India

Intraspecific trait variability and community assembly in hawkmoths (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae) across an elevational gradient in the eastern Himalayas, India

“…Very few ecological studies have been carried out there despite their global importance. New species, of even distinctive vertebrate taxa, continue to be described from the region (e.g., Athreya, 2006a; Captain et al., 2019; Mirza et al., 2020; Sinha et al., 2005; Sondhi & Ohler, 2011). The entire list of research publications on diversity patterns in the region is a short one: elevational gradient of bird diversity (Acharya et al., 2011; Price et al., 2014; Schumm et al., 2020; Surya & Keitt, 2019), tree diversity patterns and population structure (Bhuyan et al., 2003; Rana et al., 2019), and distribution and abundance of arthropods (Ghosh‐Harihar, 2013; Marathe et al., 2020; Supriya et al., 2020).…”

A new species of green pit vipers of the genus Trimeresurus Lacépède, 1804 (Reptilia, Serpentes, Viperidae) from western Arunachal Pradesh, India

“…They are distributed across east and southeast Asia. At least 48 nominate species (Gumprecht et al 2004;Whitaker and Captain 2004;Wallach et al 2014;Captain et al 2019) are known, of which at least 15 occur in India. Of the species recorded from India, seven species occur in northeastern India (Whitaker and Captain 2004;Captain et al 2019).…”

The most recent compilations on Indian snakes, listed the following species from northeastern In-For the delimitation of cryptic species, multiple lines of evidence are imperative, including morphology as well asmolecular and ecological data (Sanders et al 2006;.…”

Synopsis of EcuadorianPterichis(Orchidaceae)

“…Preferably any new taxon should be formally named after the examination of numerous randomly collected specimens from various populations ( Dubois, 2010 ). Nevertheless, a considerable number of species, not only plants, are described based on a single specimen ( Captain et al, 2019 ; Wells, Johanson & Dostine, 2019 ). The disadvantage of using a few specimens for the description of new taxa, particularly of new species, is that the intraspecific variation cannot be evaluated.…”
