High Diversity

Two new toad species of the genus Leptobrachella are described from the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau of China, based on the combination of molecular and morphological data. The description of Leptobrachella aspera Wang, Lyu, Qi & Wang, sp. nov. from Huanglianshan Nature Reserve represents the thirteenth Leptobrachella species known from Yunnan Province, and the description of Leptobrachella dorsospina Wang, Lyu, Qi & Wang, sp. nov. from Yushe Forest Park represents the sixth Leptobrachella species known from Guizhou Province. These new discoveries further emphasize the extremely high diversity of the Leptobrachella toads in these regions.

Dabieshan tick virus (DTV) is a novel tick-borne virus with the potential to infect both animals and humans. It has been confirmed that DTV is widely distributed in Shandong and Zhejiang Provinces. In this study, a total of 389 ticks were sampled from Honghe city of Yunnan Province and Bijie city of Guizhou Province, and then divided into 148 pools according to the location and species. QRT-PCR and nested PCR were performed to confirm the presence of DTV. The results showed a minimum infection rate of 2.43% (5/206) in Yunnan Province and 3.28% (6/183) in Guizhou Province, respectively. Interestingly, DTV was identified in Rhipicephalusmicroplus for the first time besides Haemaphysalis longicornis. Phylogenetic analysis showed that DTV from Yunnan and Guizhou Provinces shared over 94% identity with isolates derived from Hubei and Shandong Provinces, and DTV was relatively conservative in evolutionary dynamics. These findings provide molecular evidence of Dabieshan tick virus in different species of ticks from unrecognized endemic regions and suggest that DTV may be widely prevalent in southwestern China.

Conservation Of Biodiversity

AbstractElevational and latitudinal patterns of species richness for birds and mammals were compared with human population density in relation to nature reserve designation in two areas of Yunnan Province, China. Results suggest that species richness is not the same for the two areas. In Gaoligongshan Region, species richness is inversely correlated with elevation and altitude, while reserve designation is positively correlated with elevation and latitude. In Jingdong County, reserve designations are positively correlated with elevation, but species richness shows no clear trends. In general, the present situation is strongly influenced by human activities. It appears that reserve designation is mismatched with species richness in Gaoligongshan Region, while there is a better fit between the two in Jingdong County. In both areas, however, it appeared that reserves were located primarily in order to reduce conflict with humans rather than to maximize conservation of biodiversity, probably because humans were responsible for forest—especially primary forest—destruction and degradation in the low-lying areas.

Two leuctrid species of the Rhopalopsole magnicerca group are described as new, R. brevicula sp. nov. and R. jizushana sp. nov. from the Guangxi Autonomous Region of southern China, bordering Vietnam and Yunnan Province of southwestern China, respectively. The new species are compared with related taxa.

Three water mite species of the genus Torrenticola Piersig, 1896 are reported from Foding Mountain National Nature Reserve, Guizhou Province, China. Torrenticola fodingensis Gu & Guo, n. sp. and T. tenuichelicera Gu & Guo, n. sp. are described and illustrated as new to science, and T. nipponica (Enami, 1940) is recorded in China for the first time, with the first description and illustration of its deutonymph. In addition, a key to the species ofTorrenticola in China is presented in this paper. The type specimens of the new species are deposited in Institute of Entomology, Guizhou University, Guiyang, P. R. China (GUGC).
