Patrones de diversidad de la fauna de mariposas del Parque Nacional de Cabañeros y su entorno (Ciudad Real, España central) (Lepidoptera, Papilionoidea, Hesperioidea). Animal Biodiversity and Conservation, 27.2: 15–24. Abstract Diversity patterns of the butterfly fauna of the Parque Nacional de Cabañeros and its surroundings (Ciudad Real, Central Spain) (Lepidoptera, Papilionoidea, Hesperioidea).— The butterfly species richness and faunistic composition in six plots with different land uses and dissimilar environmental diversity is studied in the Parque Nacional de Cabañeros and its surroundings (Ciudad Real, Central Spain). The holm–oak forest is the richest sampling plot, with a butterfly species composition that clearly differs from the rest of more humanized sampling plots. The pine plantation has the lowest values of species richness and abundances, with a faunistic composition quite similar to those of the sampling plots with a dominance of hostile habitats for butterflies (grasslands and crops), so the need to create clearings is emphasised. The importance of environmental diversity in humanized habitats and the need for proper management and conservation of woodlands is stressed in order to conserve

References……………………………………………………..88 Front cover: South view towards the Strait from Rock Gun, Upper rock Above: View of the Mediterranean Sea from the Middle Ridge, Upper Rock Back Cover: Jacob’s Ladder 2 Introduction Gibraltar is an Overseas Territory of the United Kingdom situated at the entrance to the Mediterranean, overlooking the Strait of Gibraltar. Its strategic location and prominence have attracted the attention of many civilisations, past and present, giving rise to the rich history and popularity of ‘The Rock’. In addition to its geographical importance, Gibraltar is just as impressive from a naturalist’s perspective. It boasts many terrestrial and marine species, most of which are protected under the Nature Protection Act 1991, Gibraltar’s pioneering nature conservation legislation. Gibraltar’s climate is Mediterranean, with mild, sometimes wet winters and warm, dry summers. Its terrain includes a narrow coastal lowland to the west, bordering the 426 metre high Rock of Gibraltar. With a terrestrial area of 6.53 km2 and territorial waters extending up to three nautical miles to the east and south and up to the median line in the Bay of Gibraltar, it is of no surprise that Gibraltar’s biological resources are inevitably limited.

WINDHOEK After arrival in Namibia’s capital, we had a day to relax and enjoy the excellent birding on offer around this small and charming city. Windhoek has a population of about 300,000, out of Namibia’s tiny population of only 2.1 million, remarkable for a country that is twice the size of California. Monteiro’s Hornbill (left), one of many Namibian near-endemic birds that we were seeking. On our morning walk at Avis Dam, we enjoyed Barred Wren-Warbler (top left) and Black-fronted or African Red-eyed Bulbul (bottom left), while there were a bounty of waterbirds at the Gammons Water Care (Sewage!) Works, including Red-knobbed Coot (middle left) and African Darter (right). From Windhoek, in the central mountains, we descended into the Namib Desert, where species like the Common Ostrich survive despite incredibly harsh conditions. Creatures of the Namib: South African Ground Squirrel (bottom right); Tractrac Chat (top right); and Rueppell’s Bustard (left). WALVIS BAY AND SWAKOPMUND The Namib dune fields hold Namibia’s sole political endemic bird, the Dune Lark. Walvis Bay itself is a mecca for waterbirds, including thousands of Lesser Flamingos (right-hand page). Spitzkoppe is Namibia’s most distinctive and iconic mountain. Our avian target at Spitzkoppe was the charismatic and scarce Herero Chat.

The two functions/activities can not be on one permit. You are working with an import permit, thus all of the interstate functions are blocked. If you have only a permit to import you will need to apply for an interstate transport permit to get the very same species from a domestic distributor. If you have an import permit (or any other permit), you can go into your ePermits account and go to my applications, copy the application that was originally submitted, thus a Duplicate application is produced. Then go into the "Origination Point" screen, select the "Change Movement Type" button.

Nat. Croat., Vol. 24, No. 2., 281–292, Zagreb, 2015. During the last eight years several surveys were undertaken to improve the knowledge of the but- terfly distribution in Croatia. In this paper we provide additional data for Mt Velebit for some taxa with poorly known distributions like Pieris (napi) balcana Lorković, 1970 as well as the first records forCart - erocephalus palaemon, Gegenes pumilio, Lycaena tityrus, Polyommatus escheri, Neptis rivularis, and Charaxes jasius. with the review of recently published data and our contribution, the number of species found on Mt Velebit has increased to 153 in all, which makes Velebit a mountain with a relatively great diver- sity of butterfly species. additionally, we include records of some species of conservation concern for the neighbouring area of Lika, for Polyommatus damon, P. ripartii, P. admetus, Lycaena dispar, Phengaris alcon (humid meadow ecotype) and Euphydryas maturna.
