A novel ant species, Anochetus daedalus, is described based on worker caste collected from a nest in secondary tropical semi-evergreen forest from Sirsi, Karnataka, India, part of the Western Ghats biodiversity hotspot. It is very similar to Anochetus nietneri Roger, but is distinctly different in shape of the petiole. The species is notable for constructing elaborate nest entrance which resembles 'fort nests' constructed by some Pheidole spp.Keywords

Regulating fluvial systems by dams, barrages and construction of inter-basin link canals, has severe impacts on fish populations across the world's rivers. In India, all major fluvial systems are interrupted by a series of barriers. This includes small weirs to large dams and salt-water barriers preventing saline incursion to the estuarine lakes. One major reason for decline in the populations of commercially important and ecologically unique fish species has been the blocking of migratory routes of spawners to upstreams or to the estuarine areas.Full Text
