  • 29 Figure8. the Limited Rank Hydrophilic Sedge and Grass Patches Within the Central Valley Bottom Wetland Provide Suitable Roost
    Figure8. The limited rank hydrophilic sedge and grass patches within the central valley bottom wetland provide suitable roosting and foraging habitat for African Grass Owls. The high levels of human disturbances on the site including hunting with dogs; severely restricts the likelihood of any nests and limits potential roosting suitability. The annual burning of the site restricts the vegetative cover along the valley bottom wetland. Off-road bikes, quads and vehicle tracks transverse the entire site as well as helicopter training and landing on the site and open areas to the south of the site adjacent to the Waterval cemetery. African Grass Owls are found exclusively in rank grass, typically, although not only, at fair altitudes. Grass Owls are secretive and nomadic breeding in permanent and seasonal vleis, which it vacates while hunting or post-breeding, although it will breed in any area of long grass and it is not necessarily associated with wetlands. It marshlands it is usually outnumbered by the more common Marsh Owl (Asio capensis) 10:1 (Tarboton et al. 1987). Grass Owls nest on the ground within a system of tunnels constructed in mostly tall grass; peak-breeding activity (February- April) tends to coincide with maximum grass cover (Steyn 1982). Grass Owls specialise in large rodent prey, particularly Otomys vlei rats, although a wide range of rodent prey species, including Rhabdomys, Praomys, Mus, and Suncus, are taken (Earle 1978). Some local and nomadic movements in response to fluctuating food supplies, fire and the availability of suitable habitat can be expected (Steyn 1982). The ecological requirements of this species make it susceptible to many land-use changes impacting contemporary South Africa.

  • CONVENTION on MIGRATORY SPECIES Loch Lomond, Scotland, United Kingdom, 22-25 October 2007 Agenda Item 8.0
    Distr: General CONVENTION ON MIGRATORY UNEP/CMS/AERAP-IGM1/8/Add.1 6 September 2007 SPECIES Original: English MEETING TO IDENTIFY AND ELABORATE AN OPTION FOR INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION ON AFRICAN-EURASIAN MIGRATORY RAPTORS UNDER THE CONVENTION ON MIGRATORY SPECIES Loch Lomond, Scotland, United Kingdom, 22-25 October 2007 Agenda Item 8.0 TAXONOMIC SCOPE: PROPOSED LIST OF SPECIES 1. Article 1a of the Convention on Migratory Species (CMS) defines such species as follows: “a) "Migratory species" means the entire population or any geographically separate part of the population of any species or lower taxon of wild animals, a significant proportion of whose members cyclically and predictably cross one or more national jurisdictional boundaries;” This definition has been used as the basis for the initial selection of species listed in Table 1 of UNEP/CMS/AERAP-IGM1/8 which has been drawn from UNEP/CMS/AERAP- IGM1/Inf/8: Status Report on Raptors in the African-Eurasian Region. 2. The list of proposed species has been restricted to those defined as “True Migrants” and listed in the Global Register of Migratory Species (GROMS) database1. These include partial migrants (species in which only part of the population migrates, with the rest remaining in the breeding areas) but excludes those listed as “nomadising” or “range extensions” (see Annex 2 of UNEP/CMS/AERAP-IGM1/Inf/8: Status Report on Raptors in the African-Eurasian Region). It also excludes species that technically meet the CMS migratory species definition because they regularly cross one or more national boundaries, but are short-distance migrants, travelling less than 100 km.

  • Namibia & the Okavango
    Pel’s Fishing Owl - a pair was found on a wooded island south of Shakawe (Jan-Ake Alvarsson) NAMIBIA & THE OKAVANGO 21 SEPTEMBER – 8 OCTOBER 2017 LEADER: STEVE BRAINE For most of the country the previous three years drought had been broken and although too early for the mi- grants we did however do very well with birding generally. We searched and found all the near endemics as well as the endemic Dune Lark. Besides these we also had a new write-in for the trip! In the floodplains after observing a wonderful Pel’s Fishing Owl we travelled down a side channel of the Okavango River to look for Pygmy Geese, we were lucky and came across several pairs before reaching a dried-out floodplain. Four birds flew out of the reedbeds and looked rather different to the normal weavers of which there were many, a closer look at the two remaining birds revealed a beautiful pair of Cuckoo Finches. These we all enjoyed for a brief period before they followed the other birds which had now disappeared into the reedbeds. Very strong winds on three of the birding days made birding a huge challenge to say the least after not finding the rare and difficult Herero Chat we had to make alternate arrangements at another locality later in the trip. The entire tour from the Hosea Kutako International Airport outside the capital Windhoek and returning there nineteen days later delivered 375 species. Out of these, four birds were seen only by the leader, a further three species were heard but not seen.

Beitr. Bd. 50 H. 4 S. 369-370 Bonn, Januar 2003 Two replacement names and a note on the author of the shrew family Soricidae (Mammalia) Rainer Hutterer In the course of long-term revisionary studies of the fossil and living taxa of the Soricidae G. Fischer, 1817 (Hutterer 1 995 ), and during work for a chapter of the new edition of the world checklist of mammals (Wilson & Reeder in prep.), a number of taxonomic and nomenclatural problems were encountered. These also include two cases of homonymy, which are discussed here and for which replacement names are proposed in accordance with article 60 of the code (ICZN 1999). 1. Replacement name for Stirtonia Gureev, 1979 The genus Limnoecus Stirton, 1930 currently includes two taxa, L. tricuspis Stirton, 1930 and L. niobrarensis Macdonald, 1947 (Harris 1998). James (1963) who compared the type specimens of both taxa concluded that L. niobrarensis was a synonym of L. tricuspis, a view not shared by Repenning (1967). Gureev (1979) concluded that both species were not closely related and he placed L. niobrarensis in a new genus Stirtonia. From the descriptions of both taxa given by Stirton ( 1 930), Macdonald ( 1 947) and James ( 1 963) I am inclined to concur with Gureev (1979).

  • Chapter 15 the Mammals of Angola
    Chapter 15 The Mammals of Angola Pedro Beja, Pedro Vaz Pinto, Luís Veríssimo, Elena Bersacola, Ezequiel Fabiano, Jorge M. Palmeirim, Ara Monadjem, Pedro Monterroso, Magdalena S. Svensson, and Peter John Taylor Abstract Scientific investigations on the mammals of Angola started over 150 years ago, but information remains scarce and scattered, with only one recent published account. Here we provide a synthesis of the mammals of Angola based on a thorough survey of primary and grey literature, as well as recent unpublished records. We present a short history of mammal research, and provide brief information on each species known to occur in the country. Particular attention is given to endemic and near endemic species. We also provide a zoogeographic outline and information on the conservation of Angolan mammals. We found confirmed records for 291 native species, most of which from the orders Rodentia (85), Chiroptera (73), Carnivora (39), and Cetartiodactyla (33). There is a large number of endemic and near endemic species, most of which are rodents or bats. The large diversity of species is favoured by the wide P.
