In accordance with paragraph 1 a) of Resolution Conf. 12.8 (Rev. CoP17), the Secretariat requested UNEP-WCMC to produce a summary from the CITES Trade Database of annual report statistics showing the recorded net level of exports for Appendix-II species over the five most recent years.

  • Habitat-Forming Deep-Sea Corals in the Northeast Pacific Ocean
    Habitat-forming deep-sea corals in the Northeast Pacific Ocean Peter Etnoyer1, Lance E. Morgan2 1 Aquanautix Consulting, 3777 Griffith View Drive, Los Angeles, CA 90039, USA ([email protected]) 2 Marine Conservation Biology Institute, 4878 Warm Springs Rd., Glen Ellen, CA 95442, USA Abstract. We define habitat-forming deep-sea corals as those families of octocorals, hexacorals, and stylasterids with species that live deeper than 200 m, with a majority of species exhibiting complex branching morphology and a sufficient size to provide substrata or refugia to associated species. We present 2,649 records (name, geoposition, depth, and data quality) from eleven institutions on eight habitat- forming deep-sea coral families, including octocorals in the families Coralliidae, Isididae, Paragorgiidae and Primnoidae, hexacorals in the families Antipathidae, Oculinidae and Caryophylliidae, and stylasterids in the family Stylasteridae. The data are ranked according to record quality. We compare family range and distribution as predicted by historical records to the family extent as informed by recent collections aboard the National Oceanic of Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Office of Ocean Exploration 2002 Gulf of Alaska Seamount Expedition (GOASEX). We present a map of one of these families, the Primnoidae. We find that these habitat-forming families are widespread throughout the Northeast Pacific, save Caryophylliidae (Lophelia sp.) and Oculinidae (Madrepora sp.), which are limited in occurrence. Most coral records fall on the continental shelves, in Alaska, or Hawaii, likely reflecting research effort. The vertical range of these families, based on large samples (N >200), is impressive. Four families have maximum-recorded depths deeper than 1500 m, and minimum depths shallower than 40 m.

REVIEW OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF RECOMMENDATIONS (PART I: LIST OF SPECIES PREVIOUSLY REVIEWED) This document has been prepared by the Secretariat. 1. At the 16th meeting of the Animals Committee, the Secretariat informed the Committee that it had decided to review the implementation of all recommendations that have been formulated by the Committee in the context of Resolution Conf. 8.9 (Rev.) and that the Committee would be informed of the results of this review, which was expected to become available over the following 12 to 18 months. The Committee supported this initiative. 2. The Secretariat was requested to provide a list of animal species that were or had been subject to the Review of Significant Trade for the 17th meeting of the Animals Committee. 3. The Annex to this document presents, as a first step, a list of all the animal species that have been reviewed pursuant to Resolution Conf. 8.9 (Rev.) and for which the Committee has formulated recommendations. This Annex is the result of Part I of the review referred to in paragraph 1. Part II, which will describe the implementation of earlier primary and secondary recommendations made by the Animals Committee concerning species that were included in the Review of Significant Trade, will be presented at a future meeting of the Committee.

Behav. Ecol. 16:534–540). On 4 July 2018 at 1433 h, in the ecological reserve Laguna Bélgica, Ocozocoautla, Chiapas, Mexico (16.88208°N, 93.45688°W, WGS 84; 976 m elev.), I observed an adult Sceloporus internasalis basking on a decaying log on the forest floor. When first encountered, the lizard climbed up to a inclined fallen trunk to a height of ca. 2 m. As I moved closer for a photograph, the lizard ran ca. 1 m, stopped, and began undulating its tail from side to side (Fig. 1). Seeing that I was still there, the lizard jumped to another fallen trunk at a height of ca. 10 cm and once stopped, began undulating its tail again. After this, the lizard sought refuge on the back of the trunk and disappeared from my view. Each undulating movement of the tail took ca. 3 seconds and involved the entire tail, as the rest of the body remained motionless. Because there were no other lizards present at the time of observation, I suggest that these behaviors were antipredator displays. Similar evidence have been recorded for Broad-headed Skinks that undulate their tail just prior to ōeeing (Cooper 1998. Behav. Ecol. 9:598–604; Cooper 1998. Can. J. Zool. 76:1507–1510). MIGUEL E.

Yet, it was still too early to experience the real explosion of bird song, which usually happens after dawn. Then, after 05:30 AM, the chorus started when a vocal Great Kiskadee broke the morning silence, followed by the scratchy notes of two Hoffmann´s Woodpeckers, a nesting pair of Inca Doves, the ascending and monotonous song of the Yellow-bellied Elaenia, and the cacophony of an (apparently!) engaged pair of Rufous-naped Wrens. This was indeed a warm welcome to magical Costa Rica! To complement the first morning of birding, two boreal migrants, Baltimore Orioles and a Tennessee Warbler, joined the bird feast just outside the hotel area. Broad-billed Motmot . Photo: D.

Circling the slope of Poas volcano, we eventually reached the inspiring Bosque de Paz. With its hummingbird feeders and trails transecting a beautiful moss-covered forest, this lodge offered us the opportunity to see one of Costa Rica´s most difficult-to-see Grallaridae, the Scaled Antpitta.

ABSTRACT Background. The corallum is crucial in building coral reefs and in diagnosing systematic relationships in the order Scleractinia. However, molecular phylogenetic analyses revealed a paraphyly in a majority of traditional families and genera among Scleractinia showing that other biological attributes of the coral, such as polyp morphology and reproductive traits, are underutilized. Among scleractinian genera, the Euphyllia, with nine nominal species in the Indo-Pacific region, is one of the groups Submitted 30 May 2017 that await phylogenetic resolution. Multiple genetic markers were used to construct Accepted 31 October 2017 Published 4 December 2017 the phylogeny of six Euphyllia species, namely E. ancora, E. divisa, E.
