AC25 Doc. 9.6 AC25 Doc. 9.6 CONVENTION ON INTERNATIONAL TRADE IN ENDANGERED SPECIES OF WILD FAUNA AND FLORA ___________________ Twenty-fifth meeting of the Animals Committee Geneva (Switzerland), 18-22 July 2011 Review of Significant Trade in specimens of Appendix-II species SELECTION OF SPECIES FOR TRADE REVIEWS FOLLOWING COP15 1. This document has been prepared by the Secretariat. 2. In Resolution Conf. 12.8 (Rev. CoP13) on Review of Significant Trade in specimens of Appendix-II species, the Conference of the Parties: DIRECTS the Animals and Plants Committees, in cooperation with the Secretariat and experts, and in consultation with range States, to review the biological, trade and other relevant information on Appendix-II species subject to significant levels of trade, to identify problems and solutions concerning the implementation of Article IV, paragraphs 2 (a), 3 and 6 (a). 3. In accordance with paragraph a) of that Resolution, under Regarding conduct of the Review of Significant Trade, 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. Its report is attached as Annex 1 to the present document. The raw data used to prepare this summary are available in document AC25 Inf. 5. 4. Paragraph b) of the same section directs the Animals Committee, on the basis of recorded trade levels and information available to it, the Secretariat, Parties or other relevant experts, to select species of priority concern for review (whether or not such species have been the subject of a previous review). 5. In order to assist the Committee with this selection, and based on a similar analysis undertaken for the Animals Committee in 2008, UNEP-WCMC has developed a process, based on an extended analysis of trade, for identifying candidate species for review. This process is described in Annex 2 (English only) to the present document, which also contains a summary of the extended trade analysis and a list of possible candidate species thus identified. 6. The Committee is invited to select species of priority concern for review. AC25 Doc. 9.6 – p. 1 AC25 Doc. 9.6 Annex 1* Recorded net exports of Appendix-II fauna 2004-2008 To comply with the specifications of Resolution Conf. 12.8 (Rev. CoP13), an initial data output was produced comprising net exports of Appendix-II species over the most recent five-year period for which near-complete data are available (2004-2008). Data from 2009 were excluded because at the time of the data extraction (1 April 2011), only 58% of annual reports had been received (101 out of the 175 Parties to CITES). Table 1 only contains direct trade reported as wild-collected (‘W’), ranched (‘R’), unknown (‘U’) or without any source reported. A full list of “terms” (i.e. types of specimens in trade) traded is available in the CITES Trade Database interpretation guide, see: www.unep-wcmc.org/citestrade/docs/CITESTradeDatabaseGuide_v7.pdf. Specimens traded at levels averaging less than one item over the five-year period have been excluded from the output. Quantities recorded have been rounded to the nearest decimal place, when applicable. * The geographical designations employed in this Annex do not imply the expression of any opinion whatsoever on the part of the CITES Secretariat or the United Nations Environment Programme concerning the legal status of any country, territory, or area, or concerning the delimitation of its frontiers or boundaries. The responsibility for the contents of the document rests exclusively with its author.

[email protected] Abstract. Hummingbirds are one of the most diverse families of birds and the phylogenetic relationships within the group have recently begun to be studied with molecular data. Most of these studies have focused on the higher level classification within the family, and now it is necessary to study the relationships between and within genera using a similar approach. Here, we investigated the taxonomic status of the genus Hylocharis, a member of the Emeralds complex, whose relationships with other genera are unclear; we also investigated the existence of the Basilinna genus. We obtained sequences of mitochondrial (ND2: 537 bp) and nuclear genes (AK-5 intron: 535 bp, and c-mos: 572 bp) for 6 of the 8 currently recognized species and outgroups.

Abstract Identification errors between closely related, co-occurring, species may lead to misdirected social interactions such as costly interbreeding or misdirected aggression. This selects for divergence in traits involved in species identification among co-occurring species, resulting from character displacement.

  • A Preliminary Review of Monitor Lizards in Zoological Gardens
    Biawak, 10(1), pp. 26-35 © 2016 by International Varanid Interest Group A Preliminary Review of Monitor Lizards in Zoological Gardens T+20$6ZIEGLER1,2 ANNA RAUHAUS1,3 & IRI GILL4 1Cologne Zoo Riehler Str. 173 50735 Köln, DE 2E-mail: [email protected] 3E-mail: [email protected] 4ZSL London Zoo Regents Park London, NW1 4RY, UK E-mail: [email protected] Abstract - To gain an overview of monitor lizards held in zoos, including the species and numbers of individuals kept and the number of keeping institutions, we analyzed collection information from the Zoological Information Management System (ZIMS) database. Our analysis performed in March 2016 revealed that there are 50 species of monitor lizard kept globally in 308 zoos, with 39 of these species kept in a total of 131 European zoos. Eleven globally-kept species were lacking in European zoo holdings, and nine species were found exclusively in European zoos. Of the 79 currently recognized species of monitor lizard, 30 (38 %) are not currently held in zoos. Although ZIMS data are certainly not complete, there is a discernible trend that only a few species are widely kept by the zoo community; whereas most species are poorly represented or not represented at all. As only 22 monitor lizard species are listed in the IUCN’s Red List of Threatened Species, there is not only an obvious need for additional Red List assessments, but also a disconnect between the species most frequently kept in zoos and their conservation status. As space and resources in zoos are limited, VSHFLHVVHOHFWLRQVVKRXOGEHZHOOSODQQHG7KHFXUUHQWQXPEHURIR൶FLDO]RREUHHGLQJSURJUDPVIRU monitor lizards is comparatively low and there are further species, such as small island endemics, that require support through assurance colonies sustained by ex situ conservation breeding programs.

  • Composition and Ecology of Deep-Water Coral Associations D
    HELGOLK---~DER MEERESUNTERSUCHUNGEN Helgoltinder Meeresunters. 36, 183-204 (1983) Composition and ecology of deep-water coral associations D. H. H. Kfihlmann Museum ffir Naturkunde, Humboldt-Universit~t Berlin; Invalidenstr. 43, DDR- 1040 Berlin, German Democratic Republic ABSTRACT: Between 1966 and 1978 SCUBA investigations were carried out in French Polynesia, the Red Sea, and the Caribbean, at depths down to 70 m. Although there are fewer coral species in the Caribbean, the abundance of Scleractinia in deep-water associations below 20 m almost equals that in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. The assemblages of corals living there are described and defined as deep-water coral associations. They are characterized by large, flattened growth forms. Only 6 to 7 % of the species occur exclusively below 20 m. More than 90 % of the corals recorded in deep waters also live in shallow regions. Depth-related illumination is not responsible for depth differentiations of coral associations, but very likely, a complex of mechanical factors, such as hydrodynamic conditions, substrate conditions, sedimentation etc. However, light intensity deter- mines the general distribution of hermatypic Scleractinia in their bathymetric range as well as the platelike shape of coral colonies characteristic for deep water associations. Depending on mechani- cal factors, Leptoseris, Montipora, Porites and Pachyseris dominate as characteristic genera in the Central Pacific Ocean, Podabacia, Leptoseris, Pachyseris and Coscinarea in the Red Sea, Agaricia and Leptoseris in the tropical western Atlantic Ocean. INTRODUCTION Considerable attention has been paid to shallow-water coral associations since the first half of this century (Duerden, 1902; Mayer, 1918; Umbgrove, 1939). Detailed investigations at depths down to 20 m became possible only through the use of autono- mous diving apparatus.

Portachuelo Pass is an important route for migratory birds between northern South America and the Southern Cone. During 11 months of sampling between 2010 and 2012, we captured 1,460 birds belonging to 125 identified species, 29 families, and 9 orders. The families with the highest relative abundance and species richness were Trochilidae and Thraupidae and the most common species were the Violet-chested Hummingbird (Sternoclyta cyanopectus), Olive-striped Flycatcher (Mionectes olivaceus), Plain-brown Woodcreeper (Dendrocincla fuliginosa), Orange-bellied Euphonia (Euphonia xanthogaster), Violet-fronted Brilliant (Heliodoxa leadbeateri), Vaux’s Swift (Chaetura vauxi), Red-eared Parakeet (Pyrrhura hoematotis), Golden-tailed Sapphire (Chrysuronia oenone), Black-hooded Thrush (Turdus olivater), and Gray-rumped Swift (Chaetura cinereiventris). These species represented 52.4% of total captures and 8.0% of identified species. We captured 5 endemic species and 8 migratory species. The months of greatest relative abundance and species richness were June and July 2010 and January 2011. Birds captured belonged to the following feeding guilds: insectivorous, nectarivorous-insectivorous, frugivorous, frugivorous-insectivorous, granivorous, frugivorous-folivorous, omnivorous, carnivorous, and frugivorous-graniv- orous.
