The distribution of the European Free-tailed Bat Tadarida teniotis extends from southern Europe and northern Africa to Myanmar.  In India it is known only from Bihar, West Bengal and Kerala.  This study records the species for the first time in the western Himalayan state of Uttarakhand.  Echolocation calls were found to be higher in frequency and shorter in duration than reported in previous studies.  Extensive acoustic surveys are recommended to assess the distribution of this species in India.

Members of the genus Albunea Weber, 1795 (family Albuneidae) are commonly known as sand crabs. Albuneidae contains 59 species belonging to 13 genera (Boyko & McLaughlin 2010; WoRMS 2019), of which four genera and nine species are known only as fossils. Most species are relatively uncommon and adapted to living in sandy habitats (Boyko & Harvey 1999). Among the 24 species of Albunea, four are known only as fossils (WoRMS 2019). The diversity and distributions of most albuneids were reported by Boyko (2002, 2010).

Specimens and nests of Pomatoschistus pictus adriaticus have been caught for the first time along the French Mediterranean shore (Gulf of Lions). Six types of nests are found on sandy-gravelly bottom at 10 m depth and 25.3 to 27.5 g 1−1 salinity, using in 84.7% of cases, a valve of Cardium edule (3.3≤weight g≤40.6; 507≤surface mm2≤2490). Nest size, egg patch, surface area and nesting fecundity are positively correlated. Nesting fecundity varies between 669 and 4690 eggs. For a similar egg diameter, the egg height is less than that of P. minutus which spawns on the same bottom and localities. Larval length at hatching varies from 1.70 to 2.67 mm.

Gnetum gnemon L. (Gnetaceae) is used traditionally for treating malaria related fever by indigenous people of North East India. In our preliminary study, the ethanol extract of G. gnemon leaves showed promising antiplamodial activity against Plasmodium falciparum chloroquine sensitive (3D7) strain in vitro with an IC50 value of 29.4 μg/mL. Therefore, it was further investigated, and by following a bioassay guided approach, 2,3-dihydroxypropyl icosanoate (1), oleic acid (2) and ursolic acid (3) were isolated for the first time from this plant. Compound 3 showed highest antiplasmodial activity with IC50 values of 4.0 and 6.0 μg/mL against chloroquine sensitive (3D7) and resistant (Dd2) strains of P. falciparum, respectively. The antiplasmodial activity of 1 (IC50 9.5 and 11.4 μg/mL) and 2 (IC50 17.6 and 21.1 μg/mL) was moderate. The isolated constituents showed low cytotoxicity against rat skeletal muscle (L6) and human cervical cancer (HeLa) cells. This is the first report on the antimalarial potential of G. gnemon and the isolated compounds may be responsible for its activity. The findings of the study are in line with the ethnopharmacological claim and can be possible leads for future studies.

Four deep-water species of stalked barnacles were collected by the manned submersibles Jiaolong and Shenhaiyongshi during recent expeditions. Trianguloscalpellum regium (Wyville-Thomson, 1873), collected from the Mariana Trench at a depth of 5,462 m, represents a new distribution record. Glyptelasma gigas (Annandale, 1916), Poecilasma litum Pilsbry, 1907 and Poecilasma obliqua Hoek, 1907, collected from the South China Sea, are recorded for the first time from a mud volcano environment. Detailed photographs of these four species are presented and their partial sequences of 16S rRNA and mt COI genes are provided.

The natural distribution of Steatogenys ocellatus Crampton, Thorsen & Albert 2004, is expanded here with a specimen collected near Puerto Leguízamo (Colombia) in the Río Putumayo at the Colombian–Peruvian border. This record, the first for this species in Colombia, expands its geographical distribution within the Amazon basin to a new watershed. Furthermore, this is the first time S. ocellatus has been recorded in a white water system.
