Seasonal bonus No Bonus rationale Min. height for bonus Bonus period dates Association sponsored None awards Association Manager Jose Luis Camacho CT3EE [email protected] 1.1 Programme derivation Madeira SOTA is an extension of similar programmes already active in other countries. The initial list of summits was generated by Jim G0CQK from SRTM data. The summit database is likely to be complete. But if you find a summit which you'd like to add to SOTA-CT3, or you find a mistake in this ARM please contact the Association Manager. Activators are asked to submit details of proposed additional summits to the Association Manager. Summits cannot be counted for points until a reference number has been allocated by the Association Manager. 1 See General Rules for parameter definitions on www.sota.org.uk/RulesandGuidelines Page 3 of 13 Document S84.1 Issue 1.2 Summits on the Air – ARM for Madeira (CT3) 1.2 General information There are three regions in the Madeira Association. To qualify as a SOTA summit it has to meet the following requirements: ● The summit must be elevated at least 150 m from it’s surroundings ● In the case of doubt the SOTA Management Team will decide whether the summit will be added to the list. The summit database does not claim to be complete and can only be changed by the acceptance of the SOTA management team. Summits cannot be counted for points until a launch date and individual reference number has been allocated by the Association Manager and approved by the SOTA Management Team. 1.3 Rights of way and access issues Footpaths in Madeira are usually well marked. However, you should take a good map of the region where you wish to hike plus GPS and/or compass if you have one. Never hike without a map, always follow the footpath. The SOTA Management team do not know anything about summits that are private property. If you find one, you will need the owner's permission before making access. If you do not have the owner’s permission to access the attempted activation it will be judged invalid and will not count for scoring. This specifically applied to Ilhas Desertas. The islands are protected by Portuguese law as a nature reserve, comprising habitats important for the conservation of biodiversity. Approach with 100 m without special permission is forbidden. Access permission may be difficult to obtain. Write or call:- Serviço do Parque Natural da Madeira - Sede – Geral. Tel. (351) 291 214 360 1.4 Maps and navigation The easiest way to obtain a map is to buy one in the city or village which is closest to the summit. Madeira Tour and Trail Walking map is a 1:40000 scale map available from Amazon. Military maps of Madeira at 1:25000 and 1:50000 scale are available. Best maps are printed by http://www.igeoe.pt/ but not exclusively. 1.5 Safety considerations Before hiking always ask for weather forecast, check it i.e. on http://www.meteo.pt/pt/ Please remember, that weather in the mountains can change rapidly and you should be always prepared both for rain, strong wind, dense mist or intensive sun, especially over 1000 meters a.s.l.

You should have a copy of your licence with you. You should prefix your call sign with “CT9/” (CT3 is the main prefix in Madeira for those holding Portuguese licences). If you wish to transmit from Madeira for longer than 3 months you should contact ANACOM - Autoridade Nacional de Comunicações Head Office: Av.

The SOTA Management Team and their associates assume no responsibility for accidents. Each participant does so at his or her own risk, and must decide, on the basis of their own ability, whether an objective is achievable. The listing of a summit in the reference does not mean that it is easy to reach, and it is always worth seeking local advice for all but the simplest of expeditions.

E-mail address: [email protected] (E. New). (RECEIVED June 11, 2018; ACCEPTED January 3, 2019) Abstract Understanding the properties of time averaging (age mixing) in a stratigraphic layer is essential for properly interpreting the paleofauna preserved in the geologic record. This work assesses the age and quantifies the scale and structure of time aver- aging of land snail-rich colluvial sediments from the Madeira Archipelago (Portugal) by dating individual shells using amino acid racemization calibrated with graphite-target and carbonate-target accelerator mass spectrometry radiocarbon methods. Gastropod shells of Actinella nitidiuscula were collected from seven sites on the volcanic islands of Bugio and Deserta Grande (Desertas Islands), where snail shells are abundant and well preserved in Quaternary colluvial deposits. Results show that the shells ranged in age from modern to ∼48 cal ka BP (calibrated radiocarbon age), covering the last glacial and present interglacial periods.

Biodiversity Data Journal 9: e59898. https://doi.org/10.3897/BDJ.9.e59898 Abstract Background Freshwater diversity, and diatoms in particular, from Desertas Islands (Madeira Archipelago, Portugal) is poorly known, although the Islands are protected and became a Natural Reserve in 1995. During two field expeditions in 2013 and 2014 to Deserta Grande Island, several freshwater and terrestrial habitats were sampled. The analysis of these samples aims to contribute to the biodiversity assessment of the freshwater biota present in Deserta Grande Island.

Abstract: The spider fauna of the Desertas Islands (Madeira) has been largely neglected until now, with only 11 species recorded. Both standardized and ad-hoc sampling was performed on organized expeditions to Desertas in the years 2011 and 2012. As expected for small, isolated islands, species richness estimates per sampled hectare are relatively low, ranging from 19 to 23 species. The up- dated local checklist now includes 57 species, of which 11 are thought to be new for science, including a new species of Typhochrestus Simon, 1884, endemic to the Madeira archipelago, here described. The previously unknown male of Zimirina lepida (Blackwall, 1859) is also described. The family Ochyroceratidae Fage, 1912 is recorded for the first time from a native habitat in Europe.

Considering the subspecies of widely distributed soft-plumaged petrel for many years, the taxonomic status of the three gadfly petrel taxa breeding in Macaronesia is not yet settled, some authors advocating the presence of three, two or one species. These birds have already been the subject of genetic stud- ies with only one mtDNA gene and relatively modest sample sizes. In this study, using a total of five genes (two mitochondrial genes and three nuclear introns), we investigated the population and phylogeographical histories of petrel populations breeding on Madeira and Cape Verde archipelagos.

The archipelagos of Madeira and Selvagens The oceanic archipelagos of Madeira and Selvagens are located in the eastern Atlantic, between 30-33ºN and 15-17ºW, being part of the Macaronesia biogeographical region. The archipelago of Madeira is composed of Madeira Island, Porto Santo Island and its surrounding islets, and the Desertas islands, which include Deserta Grande, Bugio and Ilhéu Chão (Fig. 1). This archi- pelago is distanced from the Iberian Peninsula by 1000 km, but its distance to the nearest mainland (coast of Morocco) is just 600 km. All the islands of Madeira archipelago are volcanic in origin and have originat- ed from a single volcanic building – the Madeira-Porto Santo complex. The rugged orography and the altitudinal span of Madeira Island led to the occurrence of some natu- ral habitat-types which are distributed along the altitudinal gradient (see Plate I).
