Abstract: The Austral Islands comprising five islands of volcanic origin situated in the south of Polynesia, harbour what is probably the most isolated fauna of hydrobioid gastropods. To date, only two species belonging to the genus Fluviopupa have been known. We describe an additional four species. Each species is exclusive to one island. Two species each occur on Rapa and Raivavae. Only on the western-most, oldest, and most degraded island, Rimatara, were no hydrobioids found. The closest relatives occur on Fiji. Since no hydrobioids are known from the island groups between Fiji and the Austral Islands, viz. Tonga, Samoa and the Cook Islands, we assume that the common ancestor has arrived directly from Fiji before these islands were formed in the late Miocene, possibly transported by a bird. Four of the Austral species meet the IUCN criteria for Vulnerable while F. jeanyvesi n. sp. and F. tubuaia n. sp. are considered Critically Endangered. Both are known from a single locality on Raivavae and Tubuai, respectively, and they are threatened by habitat loss.

Abstract: The limestone meadows located to the north-northwest of Istanbul, Turkey, are in danger of being overrun by the rapidly expanding city. Past surveys showed that these habitats harbor rare plant species, including endemics to Turkey. To further evaluate the conservation value of these habitats, especially in terms of the often neglected invertebrates, one limestone area to the north of Küçükçekmece Lake and surrounding Sazlidere Dam was surveyed for land snails. Our findings strengthen the case for the protection of these unique habitats. Twenty-four species of land snails were identified in the survey area. Of these, 21 are native to Turkey, including three whose type location is Istanbul. In addition, two species that are at or near the limits of their ranges are considered to represent peripheral populations that may be especially worth conserving. Although the area surrounding Sazlidere Dam is under protection, the other limestone habitats are severely threatened by ongoing development.

Abstract: In the 1970s, the world knew the long-tailed nesokia Nesokia bunnii (Khajuria, 1981) (Rodentia, Muridae) from the Mesopotamian marshes of Garden of Eden in Southern Iraq. This distinct rodent was known from only five voucher specimens collected at the confluence of Tigris and Euphrates Rivers in southern Iraq while its occurrence in Southwestern Iran had never been reported. In the 1990s, a large extent of its natural habitat was catastrophically desiccated and the animal was last seen in the 1970s. Since then, the status of this elusive rodent was shrouded in mystery. In 2007, an extraordinary photograph of a carcass of this species came to the light from Hawizeh Marsh which was interpreted as concrete evidence of the species’ persistence in the marshes of southern Iraq after the desiccation in the last century. In 2021, after more than 40 years, exclusive photographic records of living N. bunnii were obtained for the first time from Central Marshes in southern Iraq and from Edhe’am Marsh in southwestern Iran. The new distribution range is highlighted in this note. Furthermore, the first photographs of living N. bunnii are provided along with notes on its ecology and behavior.
