ZSL 6 Column Inventory.Pdf Zoological Society of London (ZSL) - Animal Inventory 2020 Group-managed species - births/deaths are recorded only when physically seen (i.e. not assumed). Therefore the start- and end- * of-year figures may not reconcile. Periodic census counts are taken to monitor the population & are recorded in ZIMS Group-managed species kept as colony - the group is kept as a single entity as births and deaths cannot be monitered. Therefore + the start- and end-of-year figures may not reconcile when colonies are split and/or merged.

Moths, returned to the plants Polposipus herculeanus after 4.5 hours (range=3-6). Numbers of moths increased throughout the day, with a maximum number in July 1999 of 22 Cephonodes hylas, 2 C. tamsi and 1 M. alluaudi, AMANDA FERGUSON & PAUL PEARCE-KELLY giving a density estimate of 352 per km2 for C. hylas, 32 C. tamsi and 16 Macroglossum 2 alluaudi. On Silhouette, there are 10km of optimal habitat for the bee hawkmoths and Invertebrate Conservation Unit, Zoological Society of London, Regent’s Park, London 2 100km for M. alluaudi, giving population estimates of 3520 C. hylas, 320 C. tamsi NW1 4RY, U.K. and 1600 M. alluaudi. Since then, the area is visited one per day in the early afternoon [[email protected] & [email protected]] during the seasons when hawkmoths are observed. Abstract: The Frégate Island giant tenebriond beetle Polposipus herculeanus is a Critically Endangered species restricted to Frégate Island, Seychelles. The ex-situ conservation programme at the Fig 1. Activity patterns of hawkmoths in 1999 Zoological Society of London and the European Endangered Species Programme are described. Captive propagation started in 1996 and has been highly successful with the programme holding 980 adult beetles by the end of 2003. Reproductive data is described and the finding of pathological infections of the fungus Metarhizium anisopliae var.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The Paris Natural History Museum herpetological collection (MNHN-RA) has seven historical specimens of Brachylo- phus spp. collected late in the 18th and early in the 19th centuries. Brachylophus fasciatus was described in 1800 by Brongniart but its type was subsequently considered as lost and never present in MNHN-RA collections. We found that 220 year old holotype among existing collections, registered without any data, and we show that it was donated to MNHN- RA from Brongniart’s private collection after his death in 1847. It was registered in the catalogue of 1851 but without any data or reference to its type status. According to the coloration (uncommon midbody saddle-like dorsal banding pattern) and morphometric data given in its original description and in the subsequent examination of the type in 1802 by Daudin and in 1805 by Brongniart we found that lost holotype in the collections.

  • Endangered Species
    FEATURE: ENDANGERED SPECIES Conservation Status of Imperiled North American Freshwater and Diadromous Fishes ABSTRACT: This is the third compilation of imperiled (i.e., endangered, threatened, vulnerable) plus extinct freshwater and diadromous fishes of North America prepared by the American Fisheries Society’s Endangered Species Committee. Since the last revision in 1989, imperilment of inland fishes has increased substantially. This list includes 700 extant taxa representing 133 genera and 36 families, a 92% increase over the 364 listed in 1989. The increase reflects the addition of distinct populations, previously non-imperiled fishes, and recently described or discovered taxa. Approximately 39% of described fish species of the continent are imperiled. There are 230 vulnerable, 190 threatened, and 280 endangered extant taxa, and 61 taxa presumed extinct or extirpated from nature. Of those that were imperiled in 1989, most (89%) are the same or worse in conservation status; only 6% have improved in status, and 5% were delisted for various reasons. Habitat degradation and nonindigenous species are the main threats to at-risk fishes, many of which are restricted to small ranges. Documenting the diversity and status of rare fishes is a critical step in identifying and implementing appropriate actions necessary for their protection and management. Howard L.

  • Species of the Day: Pied Tamarin
    © Gregory Guida Species of the Day: Pied Tamarin The Pied Tamarin or Brazilian Bare-faced Tamarin, Saguinus bicolor, is a small monkey endemic to the Brazilian Amazon, and is classified as ‘Endangered’ on the IUCN Red List of Threatened SpeciesTM. It occurs largely within and around the city of Manaus, in the heart of the Amazon basin, and has one of the smallest ranges of any primate. The expansion of Manaus has reduced much of the species’ habitat to mere fragments which Geographical range are disappearing rapidly, destroyed by people in search of land and by land-use planning www.iucnredlist.org that fails to take environmental needs into account. Tamarins migrating from one tiny patch of www.durrell.org forest to another are often electrocuted by power cables or are run over whilst crossing roads. Help Save Species www.arkive.org Translocation of these primates to safer patches of forest is now being implemented to help conserve this species. Seven potential conservation areas for Pied Tamarins have been identified. These areas require protection, as well as the creation of forest corridors to connect them, in order to secure the future of this species in the wild. On 18-29 October, officials will gather at the tenth meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD COP10), in Nagoya, Japan, to agree how to tackle biodiversity loss. The production of the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species™ is made possible through the IUCN Red List Partnership: Species of the Day IUCN (including the Species Survival Commission), BirdLife is sponsored by International, Conservation International, NatureServe and Zoological Society of London..

Rajeshkumar 1*, C. Raghunathan 1 and Kailash Chandra 2 1Zoological Survey of India, Andaman and Nicobar Regional Centre Port Blair-744 102, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India 2Zoological Survey of India, M-Block, New Alipore, Kolkatta-700 053, India *Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Previously the Reticulated python was recorded by few researchers from Nicobar Islands In 2006, four individuals were observed, but there was no more information added in their literature about sightings in Great Nicobar Island. Pythons were considered as an uncommon and rare encountered species in India also to the Nicobar Islands. Pythons considered relatively rare appearance to have declined due to frequent eradication by habitat destruction On 25 th August 2013, first individual of reticulated python was caught by the local people at Govind Nagar (Lat: 07° 00.074' N, Long: 093° 54.128' E, Altitude at 49.4 meter) in Great Nicobar Island The second one was rescued on 31 st August 2013 in the same area by the local people. Both the recovered individuals were appeared as juvenile. Investigations on population census of this threatened species and their habitat have been felt from the present incidences. Key words : .................................... INTRODUCTION as Malayopython reticulatus (Schneider 1801). Snakes are perhaps one of the most difficult Python is locally (in Nicobarese) called as vertebrate groups to survey (Groombridge and ‘Yammai’ or ‘Tulanth’ (Chandi 2006) and Luxmoore 1991).
