A checklist of 82 ant species recorded from Gambia is given. Key words: ants, faunistics, Gambia, new country records. INTRODUCTION Ants fauna of Gambia (West Africa) is poorly known. Literature data, AntWeb and other Internet resources recorded only 59 species from this country. For comparison from Senegal, which surrounds three sides of Gambia, 89 species have been recorded so far. Both of these records seem poor when compared with 654 species known from the whole western Africa (SHUCKARD 1840, ANDRÉ 1889, EMERY 1892, MENOZZI 1926, SANTSCHI 1939, LUSH 2007, ANTWIKI 2017, ANTWEB 2017, DIAMÉ et al. 2017, TAYLOR 2018). Most records from Gambia come from general web checklists of species. Unfortunately, they lack locality data, date of sampling, collector name, coordinates of the locality and notes on habitats.

Hodges Interim Vice Provost and Dean of the Graduate School Original approval signatures are on file with the University of Oregon Graduate School. Degree awarded September 2017 ii © 2017 Sandy Steven Avomo Ndong iii THESIS ABSTRACT Sandy Steven Avomo Ndong Master of Arts Department of International Studies September 2017 Title: Human-wildlife Conflict: Comparing Pongara and Ivindo National Parks in Gabon Human-wildlife conflicts around protected areas are important issues affecting conservation, especially in Africa. In Gabon, this conflict revolves around crop-raiding by protected wildlife, especially elephants. Elephants’ crop-raiding threaten livelihoods and undermines conservation efforts. Gabon is currently using monetary compensation and electric fences to address this human-elephant conflict. This thesis compares the impacts of the human-elephant conflict in Pongara and Ivindo National Parks based on their idiosyncrasy. Information was gathered through systematic review of available literature and publications, observation, and semi-structured face to face interviews with local residents, park employees, and experts from the National Park Agency.

Jelica Stojanović THE DEVELOPMENT PATH OF THE SERBIAN LANGUAGE AND SCRIPT Podgorica 2020 MILOš KOVAčEVIć THE DEVELOPMENT PATH OF THE SERBIAN LANGUAGE AND SCRIPT, MADE UP OF STRAY PATHS Only two years have passed from the two hundredth anni- versary of the beginning of Vuk Karadžić’s struggle for “intro- ducing the folk language in literature”, that is to say, from the introduction of the Serbian folk language in the Serbian literary language, or to put it in the more modern phrasing of today: the standard language. The beginning of that struggle is connected to the year 1814, when, in the royal city of Vienna, Vuk’s first grammar book came out: The Orthography of the Serbian Lan- guage Based on the Speech of the Common Folk, which dealt with resolving the three most important standard-related issues: a) the issue of the Serbian orthography, b) the issue of the morpho- logical structure of the Serbian language, and c) the issue of the name of the language and its national boundaries. Rare are the languages, if, indeed, there are any, which have had such a turbulent history of two hundred years. The histor- ical development of a language can be followed at two histor- ical levels: that of its internal and that of its external history.

  • Distribution and Conservation Status of Some Rare and Threatened Orchid
    Wulfenia 24 (2017): 143 –162 Mitteilungen des Kärntner Botanikzentrums Klagenfurt Distribution and conservation status of some rare and threatened orchid taxa in the central Balkans and the southern part of the Pannonian Plain Vladan Djordjević, Dmitar Lakušić, Slobodan Jovanović & Vladimir Stevanović Summary: Along with being a centre of plant species diversity and endemism, the Balkan Peninsula is one of the parts of Europe with the highest number of orchid taxa. However, the orchid flora in the central Balkans has not been sufficiently studied. The paper presents the distribution of ten rare and threatened taxa of Orchidaceae in the central Balkans and the southern part of the Pannonian Plain: Anacamptis papilionacea, Epipactis palustris, E. purpurata, Epipogium aphyllum, Goodyera repens, Gymnadenia frivaldii, Ophrys apifera, O. insectifera, Orchis militaris and O. spitzelii subsp. spitzelii. In addition to field investigation, checking and revision of herbarium material, literature sources were also used for supplementing distribution data. The distribution maps of these taxa in the central Balkans (Serbia and Kosovo region) and the southern part of the Pannonian Plain (Vojvodina) are created on a 10 km × 10 km UTM grid system. Data concerning their habitat preferences, population size and the estimated IUCN conservation status in the study area are provided. Keywords: Orchidaceae, phytogeography, IUCN conservation status, Balkan Peninsula The orchid family is one of the largest and most diverse families in the plant kingdom with estimates of about 28 000 species distributed in about 763 genera (Chase et al. 2015; Christenhusz & Byng 2016). According to Hágsater & Dumont (1996), over 300 orchid species occur in Europe, North Africa and Near East.

  • Fifth International Scientific Agricultural Symposium „Agrosym 2014“
    Fifth International Scientific Agricultural Symposium „Agrosym 2014“ Professional paper 10.7251/AGSY14041034G AGRICULTURE AND TOURISM IN SERBIA Branislav GULAN Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Serbia Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts, Board for Rural Areas, Serbia *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract About 20 million t of agricultural produce in the value of up to 6 billion EUR has been annually produced in Serbia on arable land area of 4.1 million ha. In 2013, the exported food, i.e. agricultural and food products, reached the value of 2.7 billion USD (which accounts for one fifth of the total Serbian exports), while the import was 1.5 billion USD and thus the surplus of 1.2 billion USD was recorded in this field. Bigger food production and its realization with support to stronger rural tourism development could be realized with the investment of about 1.5 billion EUR and the entire region be proclaimed as an area without genetically modified products. This is very important because 10% of the EU inhabitants or near 50 million people say that they want to consume such kind of food. With such investments Serbia could double its agricultural production in terms of quantity and value in three years, and its value could reach 12 billion EUR. In this case, the exports would also reach five million USD, and with higher processing phases, the export could reach the value of seven billion USD by 2030. After a decade, it could reach 10 billion USD. Bigger food production should provide for development of tourism and survival of a village in Serbia.

The collection was initially formed from private donations and by collecting new samples in the field. Also, the herpetological collection of the Institute of Zoology, Faculty of Natural Sciences University of Belgrade was added to it. This early collection consisted of samples from ex-Yugoslavia. Unfortunately, large parts of the initial collection suffered an immeasurable damage during the Second World War: most of the 58 DŽUKIĆ, G. ET AL.: HERPETOLOGICAL COLLECTION – INSTITUTE “S. STANKOVIĆ” documentation and a large number of specimens were destroyed. During the professional career of Professor Milutin Radovanović (1900–1968), the collection was expanded. His seminal work has laid foundations of herpetology in the entire region, together with acquisition and organizing of the material in the collection. His contribution prior to 1941 included samples from islands of the Adriatic Sea (present-day Croatia).

Knowing and assessing the whole geodiversity of Serbia through study of individual phenomena is the starting point for their rational utilization and conservation. Considering the fact that criteria for geodiversity valuation are neither agreed upon nor acknowledged by regulations, basic principles for judging the significance of geodiversity are discussed and the main categories are proposed. Key words: Geoheritage, Serbia, procedures for evaluation, categories of non- -movable and movable geoheritage.
