  • New Species Accepted –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Swinhoe’S Storm-Petrel (Oceanodroma Monorhis )
    his is the 20th published report of the ABA Checklist Committee (hereafter, TCLC), covering the period July 2008– July 2009. There were no changes to commit - tee membership since our previous report (Pranty et al. 2008). Kevin Zimmer has been elected to serve his second term (to expire at the end of 2012), and Bill Pranty has been reelected to serve as Chair for a fourth year. During the preceding 13 months, the CLC final - ized votes on five species. Four species were accepted and added to the ABA Checklist , while one species was removed. The number of accepted species on the ABA Checklist is increased to 960. In January 2009, the seventh edition of the ABA Checklist (Pranty et al. 2009) was published. Each species is numbered from 1 (Black-bellied Whistling-Duck) to 957 (Eurasian Tree Sparrow); ancillary numbers will be inserted for all new species, and these numbers will be included in our annual reports. Production of the seventh edi - tion of the ABA Checklist occupied much of Pranty’s and Dunn’s time during the period, and this com - mitment helps to explain the relative paucity of votes during 2008–2009 compared to our other recent an - nual reports. New Species Accepted –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Swinhoe’s Storm-Petrel (Oceanodroma monorhis ). ABA CLC Record #2009-02.

    CNC/IUGG: 2019 Quadrennial Report Geodesy and Geophysics in Canada 2015-2019 Quadrennial Report of the Canadian National Committee for the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics Prepared on the Occasion of the 27th General Assembly of the IUGG Montreal, Canada July 2019 INTRODUCTION This report summarizes the research carried out in Canada in the fields of geodesy and geophysics during the quadrennial 2015-2019. It was prepared under the direction of the Canadian National Committee for the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (CNC/IUGG). The CNC/IUGG is administered by the Canadian Geophysical Union, in consultation with the Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society and other Canadian scientific organizations, including the Canadian Association of Physicists, the Geological Association of Canada, and the Canadian Institute of Geomatics. The IUGG adhering organization for Canada is the National Research Council of Canada. Among other duties, the CNC/IUGG is responsible for: • collecting and reconciling the many views of the constituent Canadian scientific community on relevant issues • identifying, representing, and promoting the capabilities and distinctive competence of the community on the international stage • enhancing the depth and breadth of the participation of the community in the activities and events of the IUGG and related organizations • establishing the mechanisms for communicating to the community the views of the IUGG and information about the activities of the IUGG. The aim of this report is to communicate to both the Canadian and international scientific communities the research areas and research progress that has been achieved in geodesy and geophysics over the last four years. The main body of this report is divided into eight sections: one for each of the eight major scientific disciplines as represented by the eight sister societies of the IUGG.

  • Habitat Use of Wintering Bird Communities in Sonora, Mexico: the Importance of Riparian Habitats
    Studies in Avian Biology No. 37:53–68 HABITAT USE OF WINTERING BIRD COMMUNITIES IN SONORA, MEXICO: THE IMPORTANCE OF RIPARIAN HABITATS JOSÉ FERNANDO VILLASEÑOR-GÓMEZ Abstract. Riparian systems are dynamic and diverse despite their limited areal extent. They are espe- cially important for breeding bird communities in southwestern US and are highly used as migra- tory corridors; however, their importance for wintering birds has not been assessed systematically. Information from 1,816 standard 10-min point counts was gathered at 85 locations in the State of Sonora, Mexico from sea level to 2,175 m during January and February 2004–2006. I detected 253 bird species across 14 vegetation types, including nine categories of riparian vegetation. Eighty percent of total species were detected in riparian habitats, and 72% were detected in non-riparian habitats. The mean number of species and individuals detected per count were signifi cantly higher in ripar- ian habitats than in non-riparian habitats for migratory species, but not for residents. A hierarchical classifi cation analysis showed that riparian bird communities are different from those in non-riparian communities, and they contribute 22% of the species that comprise the regional avifauna, which is more than any other habitat type. Key Words: habitat use, Mexico, neotropical migrant birds, riparian, Sonora, wintering. USO DE HABITAT DE COMUNIDADES DE AVES INVERNANTES EN SONORA, MEXICO: IMPORTANCIA DE LOS HABITATS RIPARIOS Resumen. Los sistemas riparios son dinámicos y diversos a pesar de su limitada cobertura espacial. Son especialmente importantes para las comunidades de aves que se reproducen en el Suroeste de los Estados Unidos y son usados extensamente como corredores migratorios; sin embargo, su importancia para las aves invernantes no se ha determinado de forma sistemática.

  • Annotated List of Wetlands of International Importance Mexico
    Ramsar Sites Information Service Annotated List of Wetlands of International Importance Mexico 142 Ramsar Site(s) covering 8,657,057 ha Agua Dulce Site number: 1,813 | Country: Mexico | Administrative region: Sonora Area: 39 ha | Coordinates: 31°55'N 113°01'W | Designation dates: 02-02-2008 View Site details in RSIS Agua Dulce. 02/02/08; Sonora; 39 ha; 31°55'N 113°01'W. Located within the Biosphere Reserve Del Picante y Desierto de Altar, which highlights the only riparian ecosystem of the region, Sonoyta river, considered of binational interest and shared between the USA and Mexico. At present, there is a mutual interest in establishing indicators for its management and conservation. Agua Dulce is a 3km stretch of the Sonoyta where water comes to the surface, creating conditions of an oasis in a desert. Among the main species found in the site is the Pupfish (Cyprinodon macularius), listed as endangered by the US and as endemic and endangered in Mexico's legal system. There is a considerable presence of the turtle species Kinonsternon sonoriense longifemorale. The resident and migratory bird species that use the Pacific Flyway find in Agua Dulce a habitat of importance for food, shelter, resting and reproduction. Agua Dulce is characteristic for retaining water throughout the year, acting as the main source of water for wildlife in the area, and supporting an excellent biological diversity. Ramsar site no. 1813. Most recent RIS information: 2008. Anillo de Cenotes Site number: 2,043 | Country: Mexico | Administrative region: Estado de Yucatán Area: 891 ha | Coordinates: 20°43'21"N 89°19'23"W | Designation dates: 02-02-2009 View Site details in RSIS Anillo de Cenotes.
