I am referring to creating and maintaining the database. Some fields (e.g., conservation status) are populated by data from existing databases. It would be quite a bit of work to create and maintain a database. There are also very many species with poorly-understood distributions that are likely to ...

It's a lot of work creating and maintaining the database, though. Who's going to be doing it?

My involvement as a coauthor was minimal (I provided very small inputs for the first draft). I guess being involved in three assessment exercises (Eastern Himalayas, Indo-Burma and Sundaland) contributed more to the paper (in terms of generating the data) than any inputs I provided for writing it.

My experience keeping Bagrichthys macracanthus is that they frequently assume a vertical, nose-up resting position.

This is the species commonly found throughout the Malay Peninsula and southern Thailand, identified as either G. fuscus or G. callopterus (depending on who you choose to follow). I am not a big fan of using mitochondrial sequences to identify Glyptothorax.
