Morphological characteristics and genetic diversity of <em>Terapon jarbua</em> (Forrskäl, 1775) in Central, Vietnam
Many environmental factors affect the morphology of migratory fish species, such as salinity, water flow rate, and temperature. However, studies on changes in fish morphology under environmental variations from salt water to brackish water are still limited in many fish species, especially in *Terapon jarbua*. This study aims to investigate the differences in the morphological parameters of *T. jarbua* between the coastal sea (seawater) and lagoon (brackish water); and between male and female fish based on a landmark morphological approach. Additionally, the genetic diversity of *T. jarbua* populations in Central Vietnam was elucidated using the mitochondrial DNA cytochrome oxidase subunit I (mtDNA COI) sequence as a molecular marker. The analytical results indicated no sexual dimorphism in the *T. jarbua* population, yet conformational differences exist between the two studied aquatic species. The analysis of 42 mtDNA COI sequences collected from Central Vietnam identified 13 haplotypes with medium genetic diversity and low genetic differentiation between the Tam Giang lagoon and Thua Thien Hue coastal (Fst = 0.028) and not significant (p = 0.126). Most haplotypes obtained are present in reference populations, indicating a high genetic exchange between populations. We proposed that the *T. jarbua* population in Central Vietnam has a stable connection with neighboring populations (China, Taiwan, Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan)

First report of Tapinolachnus lacordairei (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) damage in Chukrasia tabularis
Chukrasia tabularis (Meliaceae) has been planted for many decades in home gardens and plantations in Vietnam. Recently, growers have become concerned with attack by stem borers. Tapinolachnus lacordairei J. Thomson 1864 (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) is identified as a new indigenous pest causing damage to 15 to 30 year-old stands of C. tabularis in Tuyen Quang, Hoa Binh and Thanh Hoa provinces. The leaves of infested trees prematurely senesce or wilt followed by tree death. In 2019, the infestation level was 12.5–22.5% and the damage index was 0.33–0.55. Adults emerge from February to May, mate within 1–3 days and the females lay 20–40 eggs on the bark of healthy and infested trees. The larvae feed first in the phloem and sapwood, and then in the heartwood where they make pupal chambers. Larvae take up to one year to become fully grown. To mitigate against further loss of C. tabularis, cost-effective control strategies need to be developed and steps taken to reduce the risk of dispersal of the pest beyond its native range in SE Asia
