Question

Find 4 journal based scientific articles on new species found - 2 invertebrates and 2 vertebrate's discoveries must be in this range: 2015-2017 - no later Provide a copy of the 1^st page of the journal article. Provide the article's reference; include the following 6 items: author(s), year, title of article, name of journal, volume # (with series # if the case) and pages ex. 1120-1135 Provide the name of the organism (Latin, English) Provide habitat where it was found Provide an interesting feature about this organism

Explanation / Answer

species1 - Cyphastrea salae. ( vertebrate )

year of journal - 2017

habitat- marine (was found in tasman sea)

features-

The discovery of a new species of hard coral, found on Lord Howe Island, suggests that the fauna of this isolated location in the Tasman Sea off south eastern Australia is even more distinct than previously recognized. Even though the World Heritage-listed site has been long known for its biodiversity, the new species is the first coral known to live exclusively in the region.Cyphastrea salae looks almost exactly like other closely-related corals. However, its gene sequences are distinct and there is no doubt it is a species that is new to science

species 2- Zakerana dhaka ( vertebrate )

year of journal - 2016

habitat -specimens were found in or around temporary pools located in a grass field.

features - Although the new species is morphologically similar to the geographically proximate congeners in the Bangladeshi cricket frog group, we show that it can be distinguished from all congeners on the basis of morphological characters, advertisement calls and variation in two mitochondrial DNA genes (12S rRNA and 16S rRNA). Apart from several diagnostic differences in body proportions, the new species differs from other Zakerana species in having a flattened snout (from ventral view) projecting over the lower jaw, and diagnostic trapezoid-shaped red markings on the vocal sac in males. Molecular genetic analyses show that the new species is highly divergent (3.1–20.1% sequence divergence) from all congeneric species, and forms a well-supported clade with its sister species, Zakerana asmati.

species 3- Haberma tingkok ( invertebrate )

year of journal - 2017

habitat - terrestrial : was found on trees eastern coast of Hong Kong

features-

Among the crab's characteristic traits are squarish predominantly dark brown carapace, very long legs and orange chelipeds. The species is less than a centimetre long, with the studied specimens measuring between 8 and 9 millimetres, irrespective of their sex. However, the chelipeds of the males appear stout, while in females they are distinctly more slender.

species 4- Doto carinova ( invertebrate )

year of publication - 2016

habitat - marine (it was discovered from antarctic ocean )

features - Doto carinova differs from D. Antarctica for its external morphological characters: colouring, number and shape of the cerata, shape of the rhinophoral sheath, etc. But other internal traits are also different, such as the salivary glands or several reproductive organs
