“…However, the early morphology of C. matsubarae has not yet been described. The images of adult fish skeletons published by Kano et al (2018) were used to count the number of vertebrae in both species, but resulted in approximately equal numbers, and estimating the number of myomeres also produced similar results. One of the keys to distinguishing adults of C. matsubarae from C. striata is the black spot(s) on the caudal fin base, as the former has two and the latter only one (Hosoya 2013).…”

In this study, the early development of Cobitis striata fuchigamii was described using aquarium-spawned eggs and juveniles. Egg yolk diameter after water absorption was 1.0-1.1 mm, and the spherical, demersal eggs had a light-yellow yolk, no oil droplets, and low viscosity. Newly hatched larvae [4.0-4.5 mm in total length (TL)] had 44-45 (27-28 + 17-18) myomeres (26-27 between the pectoral fins and the middle of the anus), two pairs of short tubular outer gill filaments on the cheek, and only a few melanophores on parts of the eye. Notochord flexion began at 5.1-6.8 mm TL and ended at 10.0 mm TL. The number of fin rays on each fin was finalized at approximately 25.0 mm TL. Lateral line spots of the larvae were indistinct, and juveniles formed blotches at approximately 25.0 mm TL. The barbels were formed in the following order: third, second, and then first. The formation of membranous fins occurred in the following order: pectoral, caudal, dorsal, anal, and then pelvic; full fin ray complements occurred in the caudal, dorsal, anal, pectoral, and pelvic regions. Some individuals (5.1-7.5 mm TL at the flexion stage) had free lateral neuromasts on the caudal region, each with a short cupula.

“…In other words, each type of dataset has strong points and weak points. For example, well-curated specimens facilitate a wide range of studies and analyses, such as multimedia analyses (Kano, Nakajima, Yamasaki, Kitamura, & Tabata, 2018) and DNA sequence analyses; however, significant effort is required to collect and maintain such specimens (Edwards, 2000;Troudet et al, 2018) (Figure 2). Conversely, with unvouchered observations, data accumulation is much faster compared to accumulating specimens, and huge amounts of data can be collected via the Internet in, for example, crowdsourcing approaches (Osawa, Baba, Suguro, Naya, & Yamauchi, 2017); however, the data quality can be problematic (Bisby, 2000;Kitchin, 2014) (Figure 2).…”

Biodiversity informatics is the application of informatics techniques to ecology and biodiversity sciences. The premise is utilizing natural history collections/data, such as specimens and biodiversity observations, with information and communication technology. During the past two decades, biodiversity informatics has improved dramatically and has been applied increasingly in ecology science. In this paper, I review biodiversity informatics for ecology with a particular focus on the treatment of data. First, I discuss the traditional perspective of data collection and its usage in the ecological community. Then, I provide an overview of the trajectory of changing perspectives of data treatment relative to developing biodiversity informatics (i.e., the infiltration of the data reuse and sharing concepts). Specifically, I discuss the significance of data reuse, which offers numerous benefits for research, and data sharing with their supporting mechanisms and case studies. Finally, I discuss potential future developments in biodiversity informatics relative to the field of ecology.

“…Digital archiving is one of the progressive challenges for the open science of biology and biodiversity studies (e.g. Berquist et al 2012, Miyazaki et al 2014, Kano et al 2016, Kano et al 2018). This paper describes photo images published online, 3D/CT data (to evaluate both the shell exoskeleton and soft body) and mtDNA data of freshwater mussels that inhabit the Kyushu and Ryukyu Islands of Japan (61 individuals of nine species/subspecies) with SEM images and EDS analysis of the shell.…”

BackgroundFreshwater mussels (Bivalvia: Unionidae), which are keystone species of freshwater ecosystems, are in global decline. In addition to ecological/genetic studies, morphological examinations are needed to help provide information for the development of additional freshwater mussel studies and eventually conservation efforts for freshwater ecosystems.The microscopic structure, which can be obtained by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and elemental composition, which can be obtained with energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDS), of mollusc shells are of interest to malacologists. However, information about freshwater mussels is still limited.Kyushu Island is the southernmost island of the four major islands of Japan. Kyushu Island is a hotspot of bitterling fishes in Japan, which simultaneously means that the island is a hotspot of freshwater mussels. The Ryukyu Islands stretch southwest from Kyushu Island to Taiwan; a freshwater mussel of unknown origin was reported from the Ryukyu Islands.Digital archiving for biology and ecology is a continuing challenge for open science. This data paper describes online published photo images, 3D/CT and mtDNA data and SEM/EDS analyses of the shell of freshwater mussels that inhabit the Kyushu and Ryukyu Islands, Japan. Our data will provide basic information regarding freshwater biology and be of public interest as open science.New informationPhoto images, 3D/CT data, mtDNA data, SEM images and EDS elemental analysis of freshwater mussels that inhabit the Kyushu and Ryukyu Islands (61 individuals, nine species/subspecies) were published online in a local database (http://ffish.asia/Unionidae3D), GBIF (http://ipt.pensoft.net/resource?r=unionidae3d) and DDBJ/EMBL/Genbank (LC431810–LC431840).
