The invasion of Macrobrachium nipponense (De Haan, 1849) (Caridea: Palaemonidae) into the Southern Iraqi Marshes
TL;DR: DNA sequences confirmed the morphological identification of Macrobrachium nipponense by 99 % similarity to published 16S sequences, and the introduction vector for this non-native species into the wild is considered to be unintentional escapes from Iranian aquaculture.
Redescription of Austrothelphusa wasselli (Bishop, 1963) (Crustacea: Brachyura: Gecarcinucidae), and designation of a new species from the Gilbert River, north Queensland, Australia.
TL;DR: A new species of freshwater crab, Austrothelphusa gilbertensis, is described from Gilbert River Catchment, north-western Queensland, and a CO1 genetic divergence of greater than 6% confirms its novel status.
Ecrobia grimmi in brackish Lake Sawa, Iraq: indirect evidence for long-distance dispersal of hydrobiid gastropods (Caenogastropoda: Rissooidea) by birds
TL;DR: The purpose of this note is to identify the hydrobiid snail that lives in Lake Sawa and to infer its origin based on molecular analyses and the importance of birds as vectors for the dispersal of coastal hydrobiids gastropods, which has been contested.
