Unusual affiliative behaviour in orang-utans (Pongo pygmaeus) - Sabah, Malaysia
Lee E. Harding*
*E-mail: harding@sciwrite.ca
Adult male and female orang-utans are usually described as solitary (Delgado Jr & Van Schaik, 2000; Galdikas, 1985; Poole, 1987; Rodman & Mitani, 1987; Weiss et al., 2006), the female providing the only infant care, as far as is known. Adult males, which are twice the size of adult females, do not associate with females except for sex; adult males may associate with subadult males, but not for companionship: it usually involves competition for a receptive female

Rare mammals recorded in Borneo – Malaysia
Lee E. Harding*
*E-mail: harding@sciwrite.ca
While on a wildlife-watching trip to Sabah, Borneo, May 21 to June 5, 2011, Jeffrey Harding and I saw several rare and endangered mammal species whose distributions are not well known. Following is a list of the rarest ones with notes on location, elevation, and conservation status. Elevations were taken with a Barigo altimeter. Conservation status notes are based on IUCN (2011). Taxonomy follows Wilson & Reeder (2005). Evidence included field notes and photographs for most species mentioned below. I offer these notes in case they may be of use in future conservation efforts or distribution studies.

First Report of a Cerambycid beetle (Capnolymma cingalensis) from India
H.V. Ghate*, C.A. Viraktamath & R. Sundararaj
*Corresponding author. E-mail: hemantghate@gmail.com
Lepturinae are a group of Cerambycidae that can be recognized by their peculiar form, especially the head being prolonged behind into a ‘neck’.

TAXONOMY IN INDIA IN THE 21ST CENTURY: CALL FOR A DIGITAL REVIVAL
V.M. Sathish Kumar*
*E-mail: drsathishkumarvm@gmail.com
Abstract
The Biodiversity of the planet is under threat due to various reasons. For the conservation and management of the bio-resources we need to precisely identify a species, so that the species can be accessed and managed accordingly. This is the very first basic step every taxonomist has to take. Though Traditional taxonomy has been used in systematics for over 250 years with the identification of more than 1.75 million species, in many countries as in India, traditional taxonomy is yet to adopt the latest molecular techniques available for a better and accurate identification of taxa. Enhanced taxonomic infrastructure and research tools can certainly allow Indian taxonomists to speed up the process of species exploration, description and classification which will enable the World scientific community to get access to India's flora and fauna dynamically without excuses of reduced funding or dearth of taxonomists for not mapping the biological diversity of India. This article overviews the latest digital advancements to revolutionize taxonomical research in India in the current century.
