Rostrum well developed and extending beyond eyes, always bearing more than 3 upper teeth (in- cluding those on carapace); base of eyestalk with styliform projection on inner surface, but without tubercle on inner border. Both upper and lower antennular flagella of similar length, attached to tip of antennular peduncle. 1 Carapace lacks both postorbital and postantennal spines, cervical groove in- distinct or absent. Exopod present only on first maxilliped. All 5 pairs of legs well devel- 2 oped, fourth leg bearing a single well-devel- 3rd and 4th pleopods 4 single-branched oped arthrobranch (hidden beneath 3 carapace). In males, endopod of second pair 5 of pleopods (abdominal appendages) with appendix masculina only. Third and fourth pleopods single-branched. Telson generally armed with a pair of fixed lateral spines. Colour: body colour varies from dark brown to reddish; often with distinct spots or colour markings on carapace and/or abdomen - such colour markings are specific and very useful in distinguishing the species. Habitat, biology, and fisheries: All members of this family are marine and can be found from shallow to deep waters (to depths of more than 400 m). They are all benthic and occur on both soft and hard bottoms. Their sizes are generally small, about 2 to 8 cm, but some species can reach a body length over 15 cm. The sexes are easily distinguished by the presence of a large copulatory organ (petasma) on the first pair of pleopods of males, while the females have the posterior thoracic sternites modified into a large sperm receptacle process (thelycum) which holds the spermatophores or sperm sacs (usually whitish or yellowish in colour) after mating.

Research Paper Factors influencing density of the Northern Mealy Amazon in three forest types of a modified rainforest landscape in Mesoamerica Miguel Ángel De Labra-Hernández 1 and Katherine Renton 2 1Posgrado en Ciencias Biológicas, Instituto de Biología, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Mexico City, México, 2Estación de Biología Chamela, Instituto de Biología, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Jalisco, México ABSTRACT. The high rate of conversion of tropical moist forest to secondary forest makes it imperative to evaluate forest metric relationships of species dependent on primary, old-growth forest. The threatened Northern Mealy Amazon (Amazona guatemalae) is the largest mainland parrot, and occurs in tropical moist forests of Mesoamerica that are increasingly being converted to secondary forest. However, the consequences of forest conversion for this recently taxonomically separated parrot species are poorly understood. We measured forest metrics of primary evergreen, riparian, and secondary tropical moist forest in Los Chimalapas, Mexico. We also used point counts to estimate density of Northern Mealy Amazons in each forest type during the nonbreeding (Sept 2013) and breeding (March 2014) seasons. We then examined how parrot density was influenced by forest structure and composition, and how parrots used forest types within tropical moist forest.

  • Annonaceae), from Kalakkad-Mundanthurai Tiger Reserve (KMTR), India
    Indian Journal of Experimental Biology Vol. 57, July 2019, pp. 516-525 Reproductive biology and pollinators of a steno-endemic and critically endangered tree, Monoon tirunelveliense (Annonaceae), from Kalakkad-Mundanthurai Tiger Reserve (KMTR), India MB Viswanathan*, C Rajasekar & P Sathish Kumar Centre for Research and Development of Siddha-Ayurveda Medicines (CRDSAM), Department of Botany, Bharathidasan University, Tiruchirappalli-620 024, Tamil Nadu, India Received 06 June 2014; revised 27 June 2015 Reproductive biological studies on the endemic and threatened plants are vital to understand pollinators and their role in seed setting and their dispersal, and thereby identify appropriate initiatives for conservation. In this study, we investigated Monoon tirunelveliense (M.B. Viswan. & Manik.) B. Xue & R.M.K. Saunders (Annonaceae), a steno-endemic and critically endangered tree species from the Kalakkad-Mundanthurai Tiger Reserve of India for its phenology, pollen morphology and viability, pollinators and conditions required to increase individuals and populations. We used Global Positioning System mapping to collect required data. Recording of mere 171 individuals in 7 populations justify its inclusion in IUCN Red List Category of critically endangered. Though flowering occurs throughout the year, it is at peak in July. Flowers are protogynous and cantharophilous and bear 215+10 anthers/flower, 750+60 pollen grains/anther, 1,65,000+100 pollen grains/flower, 25+12 ovules/flower and 6,600:1 pollen/ovule. Predominant pollinators are beetles belonging to Carpophilus plagiatipennis and Cerambycid species. Other pollinators include species of Aphis, Azteca, Endaeus, Pseudococcus and Psylla. Species of Halyzia and Scolopendra have also been noticed. Pollinators left behind black markings after feeding.

  • Further Records of Ecuadorian Sphingidae (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae) 137-141 - 1 3 7
    ZOBODAT - www.zobodat.at Zoologisch-Botanische Datenbank/Zoological-Botanical Database Digitale Literatur/Digital Literature Zeitschrift/Journal: Neue Entomologische Nachrichten Jahr/Year: 1998 Band/Volume: 41 Autor(en)/Author(s): Racheli Luigi, Racheli Tommaso Artikel/Article: Further records of Ecuadorian Sphingidae (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae) 137-141 - 1 3 7 - Further records of Ecuadorian Sphingidae (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae) by Luigi Racheli & T ommaso Racheli Abstract Distributional records of 22 hawkmoths species of Ecuador are reported. In the past, distributional data on the ecuadorian Sphingidae were reported by Dognin (1886-1897), Campos (1931), Rothschild & J ordan (1903) and Schreiber (1978). Haxaire (1991), describing a new species of Xylophanes from Ecuador, has reported a total of 135 species collected in Ecuador. Racheli & R acheli (1994) listed 167 species, including recent collecting data for 80 species, and all the records for the country extracted from the literature, including also doubtful records such as Manduca muscosa (Rothschild & J ordan , 1903) and Xylophanes juanita Rothschild & J ordan , 1903 which are unlikely to occur in Ecuador. The total number of hawkmoths species of Ecuador may account for approximately 155-160 spe­ cies. Following the recent studies of Racheli & R acheli (1994, 1995), Racheli (1996) and Haxaire (1995, 1996a, 1996b), additional records of Museum specimens and of material collected in Ecuador are given herewith. All the specimens reported below are in the collection of the senior author unless otherwise stated.

  • Unifying Knowledge for Sustainability in the Western Hemisphere
    Inventorying and Monitoring of Tropical Dry Forests Tree Diversity in Jalisco, Mexico Using a Geographical Information System Efren Hernandez-Alvarez, Ph. Dr. Candidate, Department of Forest Biometrics, University of Freiburg, Germany Dr. Dieter R. Pelz, Professor and head of Department of Forest Biometrics, University of Freiburg, Germany Dr. Carlos Rodriguez Franco, International Affairs Specialist, USDA-ARS Office of International Research Programs, Beltsville, MD Abstract—Tropical dry forests in Mexico are an outstanding natural resource, due to the large surface area they cover. This ecosystem can be found from Baja California Norte to Chiapas on the eastern coast of the country. On the Gulf of Mexico side it grows from Tamaulipas to Yucatan. This is an ecosystem that is home to a wide diversity of plants, which include 114 tree species. These species lose their leaves for long periods of time during the year. This plant community prospers at altitudes varying from sea level up to 1700 meters, in a wide range of soil conditions. Studies regarding land attributes with full identification of tree species are scarce in Mexico. However, documenting the tree species composition of this ecosystem, and the environment conditions where it develops is good beginning to assess the diversity that can be found there. A geo- graphical information system overlapping 4 layers of information was applied to define ecological units as a basic element that combines a series of homogeneous biotic and environmental factors that define specific growing conditions for several plant species. These ecological units were sampled to document tree species diversity in a land track of 4662 ha, known as “Arroyo Cuenca la Quebrada” located at Tomatlan, Jalisco.

RESUMEN La riqueza biológica de Mesoamérica es enorme. Dentro de esta gran área geográfi ca se encuentran algunos de los ecosistemas más diversos del planeta (selvas tropicales), así como varios de los principales centros de endemismo en el mundo (bosques nublados). Países como Guatemala, en esta gran área biogeográfi ca, tiene grandes zonas de bosque húmedo tropical y bosque mesófi lo, por esta razón es muy importante para analizar la diversidad en la región. Lamentablemente, la fauna de mariposas de Guatemala es poco conocida y por lo tanto, es necesario llevar a cabo un estudio y análisis de la composición y la diversidad de las mariposas (Lepidoptera: Papilionoidea) en Guatemala.

  • Cepf Final Project Completion Report
    CEPF FINAL PROJECT COMPLETION REPORT I. BASIC DATA Organization Legal Name: Sano y Salvo Project Title (as stated in the grant agreement): Preventing Agricultural Encroachment Into Indo Maíz Biological Reserve and Cerro Silva Nature Reserve Through the Introduction of Sustainable Agriculture in Their Buffer Zones Implementation Partners for this Project: Project Dates (as stated in the grant agreement): 1.6.2004 – 31.8.2007 Date of Report (month/year): 7 January 2008 II. OPENING REMARKS Provide any opening remarks that may assist in the review of this report. The project developed fine; with some goals we are behind schedule, but that is no reason to worry about, because we continue the same kind of work anyway, because it is an essential part of our association's vision, mission (and statutes!) to save biodiversity, to rescue the biosphere of SE Nicaragua, to promote ecological agriculture and to prevent agricultural encroachment into Indo Maíz biological reserve and Cerro Silva natural reserve through the introduction, continuation and amplification of sustainable agriculture in their buffer zones, and beyond that: all over the Región Autónoma Atlántico Sur (and with first contacts to people in the RAAN, too) and in the department of Río San Juan as well. Part of the time the administrative communication between us and CEPF was difficult, because we did sometimes send quarterly reports sort of late, (caused by our big work load), and sometimes CEPF did not react on applications from us: we got wrong forms, CEPF sent correct ones 8 months later; we asked frequently for audio visual and printed material for our environment education campaigns, we never got it nor an answer, and in 2007 we did not get any money transferred until Christmas (where we got a small amount of the money CEPF owes us), although we had agreed upon and it was practice till 2006/IV that after each report the money is sent.

Robert A. Raguso Dept. of Biology, Yale University, New Haven, CT 06511 USA.* Jorge Llorente-Bousquets Museo de Zoologia, Facultad de Ciencias, Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico, Apartado Postal 70-399 Mexico D.F., CP 04510 Abstract. Checklists of the butterflies (Lepidoptera) collected in two rainforest study sites in the Tuxtlas Mts., Veracruz, Mexico are presented. A total of 182 species of butterflies were recorded at Laguna Encantada, near San Andres Tuxtla, and 212 species were recorded from the nearby Estacion de Biologia Tropical “Los Tuxtlas” (EBITROLOTU). We collected 33 species not included in G. Ross’ (1975–77) faunistic treatment of the region, 12 of which are new species records for the Tuxtlas. We present a list of the skipper butterflies (Hesperioidea) of the Tuxtlas, including a state record for the giant skipper, Agathymus rethon. At both study sites, we observed seasonal patterns in species abundance during periods of reduced precipitation. Our data indicate an apparent increase in butterfly species-richness in the Tuxtlas over the last 25 years. This increase reflects more efficient sampling due to advances in lepidopteran ecology and improved collecting methods, as well as the effects of habitat disturbance. A comparison between the butterfly faunas of the two rainforest sites revealed that a higher percentage of weedy, cosmopolitan species were present at Laguna Encantada, the smaller, more disturbed site. We anticipate further changes in butterfly species-richness and faunal composition as the mosaic of habitats in the Tuxtlas continue to be modified.
