Senyulong (Tomistoma schlegelii) are crocodiles that have a unique morphology with shape of the snout in its mouth. This species based on IUCN Red List classified by endangered category (IUCN 2004). This study aim to determine characteristics ofSenyulong Habitat in Sekonyer river, Tanjung Puting National Park Central Kalimantan using by Purposive Sampling in discovery spot or ex crocodile nest, Parameter analyzed by important value index (INP), dominance index (C), index species diversity (H), species abundance index (e), and species similarity index. The results showed the abiotic water habitats in the river water pH 6 which indicated normal, an average of depth 4.5 meters and a water temperature 23.90 ºC. Biotically False Gharial likes the habitat of aquatic plants such as Rasau (Pandanus tectorious), water lily (Hanguana malayana) for sheltering. False gharial aquatic food habitats such as Toman fish (Channa gachua), Gabus (Channa striata) and Runtuk (Channa luchius) Baung (Mystus wyckii), Lais (Lais hexamena). Abiotically terrestrial habitats contain sandy clay texture and histosol soil types with 6 soil acidity, with 78% air humidity and the average temperature of 29ºC. Biologically, Senyulong terrestrial habitat formed by buffer zone with large tree with wide canopy and several types of terrestrial animals Senyulong food such as long-tailed monkeys, orangutans, and wild pigs. The terrestrial habitat of False Gharial is an important place to spawning ground by placing its eggs under a large buttress tree and covering the nest with leaf litter to keep it warm to camouflage egg predators such as to monitor lizards.Keyword: Terrestrial Habitat, Aquatic Habitat, Senyulong, Tanjung puting National Park

Manu National Park

To reach the Manu National Park means a day's journey by road over the Andes from Cusco, climbing up to the high puna grassland where one enters the park at the Tres Cruces guard post, 3300m above sea level. The last part of the road down to Shintuya at 300m has four unbridged river crossings that are impassable in the wet season from November to March. At Shintuya, if no park boat is available, the onward journey to Pakitsa, the administrative headquarters where there is accommodation, can only be made by hiring the Dominican Mission boat at $100 a day plus 30 gallons of gasoline (if you can get it) as well as enough for the return journey from Pakitsa to Cashu Cocha.

Twenty-four species representing 21 genera, 16 families and 7 orders of mammals were recorded in the Tripura state, northeast India, from an inventory done from 2006 to 2012. Ten of these species were found in wildlife sanctuaries as well as in primary forests. Four species were recorded exclusively from the wildlife sanctuaries and ten species were recorded only from primary forests. Order Primates was the most diverse group represented by 6 species from 4 genera in 3 families. Frequency sightings data showed that 11 species were rare, 2 species were occasional, one species was frequent, and another 10 species were common. Two species, Large-footed Mouse-eared Bat, Myotis sp., and Greater False Vampire Bat, Megaderma lyra, are new records from the study area.  Overall, 23 of the 24 species recorded are listed in the IUCN Red List, 14 species are listed in CITES, and 14 species are protected under the Indian Wildlife Protection Act, 1972. Threats being faced by many of the recorded mammals from human encroachments are highlighted.

Rhagomys longilingua is one of the rarest sigmodontine rodents of South America, currently known from only 2 localities (4 individuals) in Peru and Bolivia. Here we report 3 additional localities in Peru, one of which extends the geographic distribution range of this species 613 km northeast from the type locality (Suecia, Manu National Park, Cusco department). Potential distribution models showed the presence of R. longilingua from Bolivia until Colombia along the eastern slope of the Andes.

Abstract This paper presents 18 species of fungi that are new to the Kampinos National Park and their buffer zone. Seventeen of these species were found during studies on wind-damaged areas after the forest was damaged in 2017. One species new to Poland has been described and illustrated ( Odonticium septocystidiatum ). A few of the species recorded ( Ciliolarina cfr. laricina , Daldinia petriniae , Pseudovalsa umbonata , Spongipellis litschaueri ) are very rare in Poland and hitherto mentioned from single localities in the country. Two species from the Polish red list of macrofungi were recorded in the Kampinos National Park for the first time – namely, Punctularia strigosozonata (E) and Trichaptum biforme (R). The current number of macromycete taxa known from Kampinos National Park has reached a total of 1,630.

Sciodaphyllum P. Browne (Araliaceae) has recently been resurrected to accommodate the majority of Neotropical species previously included in Schefflera J. R. Forst. & G. Forst. Recent field and herbarium studies have revealed many distinctive new species of Sciodaphyllum, including three from the eastern slopes of the Andes in central Peru, which are described and illustrated here: S. geniculatum M. M. Mora, Lowry & G. M. Plunkett, S. oxapampense G. M. Plunkett, Lowry & M. M. Mora, and S. rodolfoi Lowry, G. M. Plunkett & M. M. Mora. The conservation status of S. geniculatum is assessed as Vulnerable (VU) using the IUCN Red List categories and criteria, whereas both S. oxapampense and S. rodolfoi are assessed as Near Threatened (NT).

A New Species

Atelopus pachydermus is redescribed on the basis of the retraced holotype and recently collected specimens. Comparisons with the holotype confirmed that this species occurs neither in Pacific Colombia, nor in the northeastern Cordillera of Ecuador, as proposed by previous authors. It occurs in the northwestern Andes of Peru and adjacent Ecuador. Populations from the Cordillera Oriental in northern Ecuador (some of them previously allocated to A. pachydermus) are described as a new species, which is distinguished from other Atelopus by size, coloration, and by having white digital pads that contrast with adjacent black phalanges. In addition, a population of Atelopus from the Andes of southwestern Ecuador, previously included in the Atelopus bomolochos complex, and having an aqua blue iris is described as a new species. We include osteological data of both new species. Predictions of numbers of species of Atelopus to be discovered and described, as well as of numbers for Ecuadorian amphibian diversity, indicates that these faunas are yet largely undescribed. Because recent records of A. pachydermus and the two new species are lacking despite search efforts, we assume that they are possibly extinct, similar to many other Andean Atelopus. Thus, we categorize these species either aspossibly extinct or, applying IUCN Red List criteria, as Critically Endangered. Current evidence suggests that amphibian extinctions in the Ecuadorian and Peruvian Andes have been more drastic than previously recognized.
