CROTHER*,1 1Department of Biological Sciences, Southeastern Louisiana University, Hammond, Louisiana, 70402 (USA) 2Roxbury, Connecticut, 06783 (USA) * corresponding author, email: [email protected] Keywords: Biogeography, Extinction, Dispersal, Ambiguous Apomorphies, Herpetofauna. SUMMARY Islands represent interesting biogeographic features often defined by unique and dynamic geological and biological components. Such systems serve as examples of the basic fundamental units of biogeographical analyses: areas of endemism. The island of Jamaica is recognized as possessing a unique biota with a large number of herpetofauna species persisting only within the island. Further, Jamaica exhibits a dynamic geologic history characterized by an easterly migration and repeated inundation, resulting in a contemporary biota formed through dispersal. Here, we infer areas of endemism across Jamaica based on 57 amphibian and reptile distributions using Parsimony Analysis and Endemism (PAE).

COORDINATES 18 degrees 4 minutes north, 77 degrees 48 minutes west. Jamaica metric grid 10/162/153 to nearest 100 metres 8. LOCATION South-western region of Jamaica, bounded on the west and on the north by major roads linking the towns of Black River and Middle Quartes and Lacovia, on the east by Santa Cruz Mountains and on the south by the coast. Nearest town: Black River. 9. AREA Approximately 5700 hectares 10. WETLAND TYPE Marine and Coastal Wetlands Type 9 Intertidal forested wetlands (mangrove swamps) Inland Wetlands Type 1 Permanent rivers and streams Type 11 Freshwater swamp forest Type 12 Peatlands 11. ELEVATION 0-15 metres above sea level 12. OVERVIEW The Black River Lower Morass is the largest freshwater wetland ecosystem in Jamaica and the Caribbean. It is a biologically diverse and extremely complex natural wetland ecosystem that supports a large number of plants, animals and natural communities. 13. PHYSICAL FEATURES The Black River Lower Morass lies on the coastal flood plain. It is situated around the lower reaches of the Black River and receives flow from a number of tributaries and upwellings. It consists of low marshland with limestone islands, which support human habitation, grazing of livestock and cultivation. The morass is surrounded by Tertiary White Limestone Formation in the north and east and uplands to the north west.

  • Jamaica's Parishes and Civil Registration Districts
    Jamaican registration districts Jamaica’s parishes and civil registration districts [updated 2010 Aug 15] (adapted from a Wikimedia Commons image) Parishes were established as administrative districts at the English conquest of 1655. Though the boundaries have changed over the succeeding centuries, parishes remain Jamaica’s fundamental civil administrative unit. The three counties of Cornwall (green, on the map above), Middlesex (pink), and Surrey (yellow) have no administrative relevance. The present parishes were consolidated in 1866 with the re-division of eight now- extinct entities, none of which will have civil records. A good historical look at the parishes as they changed over time may be found on the privately compiled “Jamaican Parish Reference,” http://prestwidge.com/river/jamaicanparishes.html (cited 2010 Jul 1). Civil registration of vital records was mandated in 1878. For civil recording, parishes were subdivided into named registration districts. Districts record births, marriages (but not divorces), and deaths since the mandate. Actual recording might not have begun in a district until several years later after 1878. An important comment on Jamaican civil records may be found in the administrative history available on the Registrar General’s Department Website at http://apps.rgd.gov.jm/history/ (cited 2010 Jul 1). This list is split into halves: 1) a list of parishes with their districts organized alphabetically by code; and 2) an alphabetical index of district names as of the date below the title. As the Jamaican population grows and districts are added, the list of registration districts lengthens. The parish code lists are current to about 1995. Registration districts created after that date are followed by the parish name rather than their district code.

  • The Ecology of Lizard Reproductive Output
    Global Ecology and Biogeography, (Global Ecol. Biogeogr.) (2011) ••, ••–•• RESEARCH The ecology of lizard reproductive PAPER outputgeb_700 1..11 Shai Meiri1*, James H. Brown2 and Richard M. Sibly3 1Department of Zoology, Tel Aviv University, ABSTRACT 69978 Tel Aviv, Israel, 2Department of Biology, Aim We provide a new quantitative analysis of lizard reproductive ecology. Com- University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, NM 87131, USA and Santa Fe Institute, 1399 Hyde parative studies of lizard reproduction to date have usually considered life-history Park Road, Santa Fe, NM 87501, USA, 3School components separately. Instead, we examine the rate of production (productivity of Biological Sciences, University of Reading, hereafter) calculated as the total mass of offspring produced in a year. We test ReadingRG6 6AS, UK whether productivity is influenced by proxies of adult mortality rates such as insularity and fossorial habits, by measures of temperature such as environmental and body temperatures, mode of reproduction and activity times, and by environ- mental productivity and diet. We further examine whether low productivity is linked to high extinction risk. Location World-wide. Methods We assembled a database containing 551 lizard species, their phyloge- netic relationships and multiple life history and ecological variables from the lit- erature. We use phylogenetically informed statistical models to estimate the factors related to lizard productivity. Results Some, but not all, predictions of metabolic and life-history theories are supported. When analysed separately, clutch size, relative clutch mass and brood frequency are poorly correlated with body mass, but their product – productivity – is well correlated with mass. The allometry of productivity scales similarly to metabolic rate, suggesting that a constant fraction of assimilated energy is allocated to production irrespective of body size.

  • Notice of Route Taxi Fare Increase
    Notice of Route Taxi Fare Increase The Transport Authority wishes to advise the public that effective Monday, August 16, 2021, the rates for Route Taxis will be increased by 15% from a base rate of $82.50 to $95.00 and a rate per kilometer from $4.50 to $5.50. How to calculate the fare: Calculation: Base Rate + (distance travelled in km x rate per km). Each fare once calculated is rounded to the nearest $5.00 The Base Rate and Rate per km can be found below: Rates: Base Rate (First km): $95.00 Rate for each additional km (Rate per km): $5.50 Calculation: Base Rate + (distance travelled in km x rate per km) Example: A passenger is travelling for 15km, the calculation would be: 95.00 + (15 x 5.50) = $177.50. The fare rounded to the nearest $5 would be $180. Below are the fares to be charged along Route Taxi routes island-wide. N.B. Children, students (in uniform), physically disabled and senior citizens pay HALF (1/2) the fare quoted above.
