Biosearch 2004 Report
Biosearch Nyika: Malawi 2004 Edited by Marianne J Overton FOREWORD Peter Overton It is ten years since the Biosearch Nyika project was first mooted and agreement with the Director of National Parks and Wildlife obtained for our exploration of the remoter parts of the Nyika National Park. Over this period the teams have focused mainly on the northern part of the park where patrolling has been very limited and our gathering of intelligence has been most helpful to the Nyika management. In 2004 we undertook the most challenging expedition to date, launched from the extreme north of the park at Uledi, a four-hour drive from Thazima. The team‟s first challenge was to cross the unbridged North Rukuru River with all their supplies. They then had to climb up the western escarpment of the Mpanda ridge to a point on the Mpero River, where they set up a Base Camp, from which to launch out on their surveys. The greatest achievement was to climb both Mpanda and Kawozya and discover the remote Bleak House, now derelict but offering stunning views over Lake Malawi and far beyond. At this point they could certainly claim to be in remote country since this old site is much talked about but very rarely seen by visitors. We have yet to have clear information about who built it, when and why. Perhaps it was a holiday „retreat‟ for Livingstonia or a staging post for missionaries who conducted business on the west of the Nyika National Park and into Zambia. In many ways this expedition was the pinnacle of logistical achievement. -

Boletín de la Sociedad Entomológica Aragonesa (S.E.A.), nº 50 (30/06/2012): 285‒294. SOFT WINGED FLOWER BEETLES (COLEOPTERA: MALACHIIDAE) IN EGYPT Ashraf M. El-Torkey1, Alaa Din A. Oshaibah2, Magdi M. H. Salem3, Mohamad T. Hossni2 & Abd Allah A. El-Zouk3 1 Plant Protection Department, College of Food and Agriculture Sciences, King Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia ‒ [email protected] 2 Department of Zoology, Faculty of Science (Boys), Al-Azhar University. 3 Plant Protection Research Institute, Agriculture Research Center. Abstract: The distribution of the known species of the Egyptian malachiid fauna is analysed and their recent taxonomic status is as- sessed. Various sources indicated the existence in Egypt of 43 malachiid species belonging to 17 genera in one subfamily. Repre- sentatives of 23 species were collected in the course of the current project. The remaining 20 species have been included in our list on the basis of their presence in Egyptian insect collections. Key words: Coleoptera, Malachiidae, faunistics, Egypt. Maláquidos de Egipto (Coleoptera: Malachiidae) Resumen: Se analiza la distribución de las especies de maláquidos (Coleoptera: Malachiidae) conocidas de la fauna de Egipto, y se evalúa su estatus taxonómico. Diversas fuentes han señalado la existencia en Egipto de 43 especies, pertenecientes a 17 géne- ros y una subfamilia. Se obtuvieron representantes de 23 especies durante la realización del presente proyecto. Las restantes 20 especies se han incluído en la lista en base a su presencia en colecciones entomológicas egipcias. Palabras clave: Coleoptera, Malachiidae, faunística, Egipto. Introduction The members of family Mallachiidae are small, elongate- other small arthropods. -

Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Jacob Blaustein Institutes for Desert Research, Albert Katz International School for Desert Studies, 2009 Abstract In Mt. Meron Nature Reserve landscape is becoming homogeneous following tree encroachment. Understory vegetation encompasses lower herbaceous plant species richness than adjacent open patches which are scarcely shaded or modulated by the canopy. This study aimed to examine the canopy effects on higher trophic groups. The research tested whether beetle and spider species diversity was higher in the open patches, following herbaceous species richness, or if it is positively affected by the filtering of the trees, and therefore higher in areas with higher tree cover. I tested two main hypotheses in which the spider and beetle richness in the woody patches are expected to increase with a decrease in canopy area. The Landscape Modulator-filtering hypothesis postulated that trees modulate their environment thus allowing the existence of woody-affiliated species. -
