Niphargus sphagnicolus is a species of crustacean in family Niphargidae. It is endemic to Slovenia.
A species that is extinct in the wild (EW) is one that has been categorized by the International Union for Conservation of Nature as known only by living members kept in captivity or as a naturalized population outside its historic range due to massive habitat loss.
The sphagnum frog is a frog in the family Limnodynastidae. The species was first described by John Alexander Moore in 1958. Its natural habitats are subtropical moist upland forests, subtropical moist montane forests, and streams. They vary in colour from shades of yellow and orange. They usually have irregular black spots that range all over their body. Their main source of diet comes from small insects, usually ants. This species has been classified as endangered in 2004. It is threatened by climate change pathogens and habitat loss. It is endemic to Australia. There have been other recommendations by scientist and other groups made to protect this species. Some of these recommendations are exclude logging around breeding areas, prevent pollution of streams and wetlands, and maintain vegetation and deep-leaf litter around streams.
Carinurella paradoxa is a species of crustacean in family Niphargidae, and the only species in the genus Carinurella. It is found in phreatic waters of the Vipava and Soča rivers in Italy and Slovenia.
Niphargobates is a genus of amphipod crustaceans containing two species from European caves. Niphargobates lefkodemonaki is only known to occur in a cave near Xyloskalo in the Lefka Ori mountains, Crete, Greece. Niphargobates orophobata is only known to occur in caves near Postojna, Slovenia. Both species are listed as vulnerable on the IUCN Red List.

Niphargus is by far the largest genus of its family, the Niphargidae, and the largest of all freshwater amphipod genera.
Niphargus hadzii is a species of crustacean in family Niphargidae. It is endemic to Slovenia, and is named after Slovene zoologist Jovan Hadži.
Niphargus hrabei is a species of crustacean in family Niphargidae. It is an originally Ponto-Caspian species that was found in the River Danube in Bavaria in the mid 1990s. It is now known to occur in Austria, Croatia, Hungary, Romania, Russia, Serbia and Montenegro, Slovakia, and Ukraine. It is listed as a vulnerable species on the IUCN Red List.

Niphargus tatrensis is a troglobitic species of crustacean in the family Niphargidae, living in the karst waters of Austria, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia. It can be found in caves, and also in karst springs and in wells in the karstic areas.
BMY-14802, also known as BMS-181100, is a drug with antipsychotic effects which acts as both a sigma receptor antagonist and a 5-HT1A receptor agonist. It also has affinity for the 5-HT2 and D4 receptors. The drug reached phase III clinical trials for the treatment of psychosis but was never marketed.
Anthony John Whitten was a British conservationist, zoologist, and herpetologist. He was a senior adviser at Fauna and Flora International, where he was regional director for Asia Pacific, and was a former biodiversity specialist with the World Bank. He co-authored several books on the ecology of Southeast Asia and published over 100 field guides in local languages. Born in Dulwich, London, Whitten attended Dulwich College and the University of Southampton. In graduate school he spent two years studying gibbons on the Indonesian island of Siberut, earning his PhD from Cambridge in 1980. He and his wife, zoologist Jane E. J. Whitten, later lived in Indonesia for 10 years. He established a working group on karst ecosystems for the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), and in 2016 was part of a research team that discovered 15 new species of geckos in Myanmar. He died in 2017, aged 64, as the result of a car collision while bicycling. He is commemorated in the scientific names of at least 13 species, including the geckos Hemiphyllodactylus tonywhitteni and Cnemaspis whittenorum.
