We: (i) report the rediscovery of () Roberts, 1960 in Australia; (ii) redescribe the male and female of ; (iii) describe the mitochondrial (mt) genome of . from five ticks from four localities in Far North Queensland; and (iv) present the first substantial phylogeny of the subgenera of the . The mt genomes of and are presented here for the first time In our phylogeny from entire mt genomes (ca. 15 kb), the subgenus was the sister-group to subgenera plus plus whereas was the sister to plus . [i.e. (() ( and ))]. Finally, we show that , the kiwi tick, may be closely related to the ticks of marsupials of Australia and Papua New Guinea

The Night Parrot is a critically endangered nocturnal bird of Australia's arid zone. The species was "lost" for most of the 20th century until its rediscovery in 1990. Extant populations are now known in eastern and western Australia, but the species has been extirpated from much of its historical range.

We confirm the 'rediscovery' of Attenborough's long-beaked echidna (Zaglossus attenboroughi), one of only five modern egg-laying mammals and, until now, one of the planet's most enigmatic 'lost species'. Unrecorded for 62 years, we present the first scientific evidence of its survival to the present day. We highlight the importance of combining local Indigenous knowledge with camera-trapping to making the rediscovery, and we also discuss follow-up conservation actions to safeguard this Critically Endangered species.

Background: People newly diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) often pursue 'health-related' behaviour changes to feel in control of their diagnosis. However, little is known about the specific factors that may influence behaviour change during this crucial time. Therefore, we conducted an in-depth exploration of the socioecological influences impacting the diagnostic experience and self-management practices following an MS diagnosis.
