On behalf of the people of Suriname, Conservation International Suriname expresses its profound gratitude to the inspiring team of Surinamese and international scientists, whose enthusiasm for the object of their research shines through the rigor of their discipline. This expedition has attempted to describe, more than the total of the species identified, the value of the biodiversity and of the natural systems of this most pristine area left on this planet, the Central Suriname Nature Reserve. Conservation International’s ultimate mission, and challenge, is to be unwavering in our efforts to conserve biodiversity and creating global sustainable development mechanisms that can change the actions of economic man by better understanding the real costs and benefits of our activities. Conservation International Suriname is proud of the role it has played and continues to play in the conservation of this most spectacular resource, the Central Suriname Nature Reserve.

Dit is een ronde houten schijf van bijna een meter middellijn, die door de Wayana-Indianen in Suriname wordt gebruikt om in ronde huizen de nok van binnen af te sluiten. Gezien het feit dat het Surinaamse woord OSO ‘huis’ betekent, heeft de maluana voor ons een belangrijke symbolische betekenis. Op deze maluana, waarvan het origineel in het Academiegebouw te Leiden te zien is, zijn aan weerszijden van het middelpunt figuren afgebeeld die een zogenaamde Kuluwayak voorstellen, een dier (geest) met twee koppen en kuifveren.

We hopen dat onze lezers er een verbetering in zien. Voor commentaar en suggesties houden we ons aanbevolen. De inhoud van dit nummer is, zoals bij het eerste nummer van een jaargang inmiddels traditie is, gevarieerd.

  • Phylogenetic Relationships Within the Speciose Family Characidae
    Oliveira et al. BMC Evolutionary Biology 2011, 11:275 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2148/11/275 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Phylogenetic relationships within the speciose family Characidae (Teleostei: Ostariophysi: Characiformes) based on multilocus analysis and extensive ingroup sampling Claudio Oliveira1*, Gleisy S Avelino1, Kelly T Abe1, Tatiane C Mariguela1, Ricardo C Benine1, Guillermo Ortí2, Richard P Vari3 and Ricardo M Corrêa e Castro4 Abstract Background: With nearly 1,100 species, the fish family Characidae represents more than half of the species of Characiformes, and is a key component of Neotropical freshwater ecosystems. The composition, phylogeny, and classification of Characidae is currently uncertain, despite significant efforts based on analysis of morphological and molecular data. No consensus about the monophyly of this group or its position within the order Characiformes has been reached, challenged by the fact that many key studies to date have non-overlapping taxonomic representation and focus only on subsets of this diversity. Results: In the present study we propose a new definition of the family Characidae and a hypothesis of relationships for the Characiformes based on phylogenetic analysis of DNA sequences of two mitochondrial and three nuclear genes (4,680 base pairs). The sequences were obtained from 211 samples representing 166 genera distributed among all 18 recognized families in the order Characiformes, all 14 recognized subfamilies in the Characidae, plus 56 of the genera so far considered incertae sedis in the Characidae. The phylogeny obtained is robust, with most lineages significantly supported by posterior probabilities in Bayesian analysis, and high bootstrap values from maximum likelihood and parsimony analyses.

  • The Marine Mollusca of Suriname (Dutch Guiana) Holocene and Recent
    THE MARINE MOLLUSCA OF SURINAME (DUTCH GUIANA) HOLOCENE AND RECENT Part II. BIVALVIA AND SCAPHOPODA by G. O. VAN REGTEREN ALTENA Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie, Leiden "The student must know something of syste- matic work. This is populary supposed to be a dry-as-dust branch of zoology. In fact, the systematist may be called the dustman of biol- ogy, for he performs a laborious and frequently thankless task for his fellows, and yet it is one which is essential for their well-being and progress". Maud D. Haviland in: Forest, steppe and tundra, 1926. CONTENTS Ι. Introduction, systematic survey and page references 3 2. Bivalvia and Scaphopoda 7 3. References 86 4. List of corrections of Part I 93 5. Plates 94 6. Addendum 100 1. INTRODUCTION, SYSTEMATIC SURVEY AND PAGE REFERENCES In the first part of this work, published in 1969, I gave a general intro- duction to the Suriname marine Mollusca ; in this second part the Bivalvia and Scaphopoda are treated. The system (and frequently also the nomen- clature) of the Bivalvia are those employed in the "Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology, (N) Mollusca 6, Part I, Bivalvia, Volume 1 and 2". These volumes were issued in 1969 and contain the most modern system of the Bivalvia. For the Scaphopoda the system of Thiele (1935) is used. Since I published in 1968 a preliminary list of the marine Bivalvia of Suriname, several additions and changes have been made. I am indebted to Messrs. D. J. Green, R. H. Hill and P. G. E. F. Augustinus for having provided many new coastal records for several species.

O. VAN REGTEREN ALTENA Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie With 3 plates Vernhout (1914) was the first to publish an account of the land and fresh- water Mollusca of Suriname. In this publication he assembled not only the older literature in which species were mentioned from Suriname, but also he named the Mollusca collected by seven expeditions and some travellers, and included in his paper the material which W. C. van Heurn collected during his trip in 1911. So he laid a sound basis for future investigations. In the present paper only the land Prosobranchia are treated. On this matter, so far as I know, only one paper has been published since 1914. This paper (Altena, 1960) mentioned Lucidella lirata (Pfeiffer) from Tamba- redjo and Sidoredjo in the Saramacca district. The Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie received specimens from Suri- name from many persons to whom I am much indebted for their cooperation. Thanks are also due to Mr. H. E. Coomans who sent me the specimens on loan, which were collected in 1926 by D. L. Fernandes. Here follows a list which mentions in chronological sequence the collectors with the months and the years in which they collected, together with the abbreviations under which they are mentioned in the text.

  • Draft Country Environmental Profile Version 4Th February 2004 1
    Draft Country Environmental Profile Version 4th February 2004 1. Executive summary Will be incorporated when document is finalised. 2. Background This Country Environmental Profile was constructed to accompany the Joint Annual Review as a mandatory annex. As there are no previous country profiles available for Suriname, the main sources for the information provided in this profile were the consul tees and the documents they have provided: NIMOS, IDB, STINASU, the Dutch Embassy (Dhr. Noordam), Stichting Schoon Suriname, UNDP, WWF, Conservation International, Ministry of ATM (these still need to consulted). The profile is based on the current information available. As there are a number of areas were information was unavailable, this draft environmental profile is in certain areas incomplete. We recommend that the draft CEP will be reviewed by a consultant to fill in the blanks and add some more depth to the profile. 2.1 Physical conditions The Republic of Suriname is situated along the north coast of South America between 2- 6° N and 54-58° W, bordering in the east with French Guiana, in the south with Brazil, in the west with Guyana and in the north with the Atlantic Ocean. The historical borders of Suriname are established either by rivers or by watershed, in the east and west by the Marowijne and Corantijn Rivers respectively, and in the south by the watershed between the Amazonian basin and the basins of the Suriname Rivers. The second of the three Guianas in size and population, it has a human population of approximately 433,000 in a land area of 166,000 km², the largest concentration being in Paramaribo, the capital of the Republic Suriname.
