Hi there Peter, I wonder if you have managed to get an update on the location of P. tweediei from Christian Hinz.
Over here, we’re managed to find P. harveyi in relative abundance after the widening of the shallow creeks that used to be home to B. livida as well. Now, livida is almost nowhere to be seen while the entire length is populated by a (sparse) population of P. harveyi. Nature has a way of recovering if left well alone. The entire stretch of river flanking the road leading from Tanjung Malim to Sungai Besar looks nothing like it did 2 years ago when they cleared the forests nearby and widened/deepened the river. In fact, there is little to show of the devastation that occured 2 years ago.
This bodes well for the species.
Najib has his hands on a pair, which seem to be showing signs of spawning. C.way has his hands full at the moment, having finished his studies and is now hunting for a job. 🙂 anyone has a stay-at-home job for our young paros expert? 🙂
