The study of the introduction of exotic species in Colombia has been a trending topic in the last decade due to their effects on local diversity. The records of exotic reptile species of the genus Hemidactylus have increased based on museum vouchers and fieldwork. However, there are still plenty of information gaps regarding their current distribution in the country. Similarly, there is limited information on unusual reptile distributions caused by human transport inside the country. Here, we present an update to the distribution of the exotic house geckos Hemidactylus frenatus, H. garnotii, and H. mabouia based on several new localities and historical records. We also present an atypical record of the golden spectacled tegu Gymnophthalmus speciosus in paramo ecosystems from the Central Andes of Colombia, almost 2000 meters above the upper elevational known limit for this species. The distribution update shows that H. frenatus is widely distributed in 30 of the 32 departments of Colombia with no records for Chocó and Guainía. H. garnotii is currently known only from the Cauca River basin of the departments of Antioquia, Caldas, and Risaralda, while H. mabouia, previously known from the Amazon basin of the country, is now reported for the Andean region. Finally, Gymnophthalmus speciosus presence in a paramo ecosystem, considered unusual as it is not part of its distribution area, was probably the result of an accidental transport from a typical lowland locality (below 1000 meters above sea level.

Southeastern-Alpine endemic Leontodon hispidus subsp. brumatii (Cichoriaceae) in the Sava valley (central Slovenia) In the spring and summer of 2010 a number of new localities of the southeastern-Alpine endemic Leontodon hispidus subsp. brumatii were found on temporarily flooded riparian rocks in the gorge of the Sava River between the village of Sava and Zidani Most (central Slovenia). The species has so far been known only in northeastern Italy and western Slovenia (the Soča valley). In order to obtain more specific information its sites were studied phytosociologically and the communities in which it grows in the Sava and the Soča valleys compared. Two new associations were described on the basis of these comparisons: Triseto argentei-Leontodontetum brumatii ass. nov. and Leontodonti brumatii-Seslerietum calcariae ass. nov. As this endemic taxon and its endemic communities are a characteristic of riparian flora and vegetation of some Slovenian mountain rivers and as its localities in the Sava valley are explicitly disjunct and the southeastern-most in the entire known distribution area, they deserve to be studied and protected.

We report on seven new localities for Mantella bernhardi, a Malagasy poison frog that was previously known only from a single site. This species has been considered threatened with extinction because of ongoing habitat destruction and collection for the pet trade (up to c. 3,000 specimens per year). The new localities considerably extend the known range of this species, which has now been documented from c. 21.00° to 24.15°S and 47.00° to 48.00°E, and over 60–629 m altitude. Two of the sites are within protected areas (Ranomafana National Park and Manombo Special Reserve). An overlap analysis of the potential distribution area of the species, based on the extent of remaining primary vegetation, indicates that the habitat of M. bernhardi in south-eastern Madagascar is fragmented and populations may be relatively small and isolated. We support the IUCN Red List category of Endangered for this species and highlight the need for detailed studies of its populations.

We present the first records of Myotis nigricans (Schinz, 1821) for Santa Fe province, Argentina. Four specimens were collected in the following localities: Esperanza (Las Colonias department), Laguna Paiva (La Capital department), and Rosario (Rosario department). These records extend the distribution area of M. nigricans 380 km to the south and increase the number of bat species in Santa Fe to 23. Additionally, Esperanza and Rafaela are added as new localities for Eumops glaucinus (Wagner, 1843), Molossops temminckii (Burmeister, 1854), and Lasiurus blossevillii (Lesson & Garnot, 1826).

The distribution of Sonchus palustris in Slovakia was studied using herbarium specimens and literary sources. The herbarium studies, supplemented with targeted field search in the years 2015–2018, revealed 61 new localities and confirmed many other older locations. The species has been recorded in 19 phytogeographical districts and sub-districts of Slovakia. Most of the records are concentrated in the Podunajská nížina lowland in SW Slovakia and in the Ipel'sko-rimavská brázda region in southern Slovakia. Our results showed that the species is relatively common in different types of wetlands and its re-evaluation in the recent version of the Slovak red list is not needed. Chromosome number data for two new populations in eastern Slovakia (both 2n = 18) were counted. The distribution map is given.

The annotated list of hepatics of the Sochi National Park includes 80 taxa. It is based on literature records and identification of 250 specimens collected by the authors. Scapania obcordata (Berggr.) S. W. Arnell and Calypogeia fissa (L.) Raddi var. intermedia (C. E. O. Jensen) Jorg. are new for the Caucasus, 17 taxa are new for Krasnodar Territory, 41 hepatics are reported for the first time for the park. New localities of 3 red-listed European species and of 6 species included in the Red Data Book of Krasnodar Territory are cited, indicating significant conservation value of the reserve.
