Not only are they important as indicators, they are also vital as a tool for sound and unambigu- ous communication between governments and all other parties involved in species protection. Dutch species protection policy and the protection plans resulting from it are for a large part based on these Red Lists and the studies underpinning them. The Wild Birds Directive and the Habitats Directive have given species policy a clear European dimension. However, European species protection policy is impeded by the different ways these Red Lists are being used in the various EU Member States. According to this international seminar ‘The Harmoniza- tion of Red Lists in Europe’ some 3700 Red Lists are in use but the approach, aim and criteria used, vary widely. This does not help communication: it affects the communication between Member States and the communication between Member States and the European Commission. Because of these dif- ferences the Red Lists are hardly used during the regular reviews of the an- nexes to the Wild Birds Directive and the Habitats Directive. It is therefore of importance that the Red List criteria are being harmonised. I think that the new IUCN Categories and Criteria (version 3.1) will go a long way to bringing this harmonisation about. The Netherlands therefore intends to use these new IUCN Categories and Criteria in its future Red List reviews. I hope that this seminar, the proceedings presented here and the new IUCN Categories and Criteria will lead to a better and more harmonised interna- tional species protection policy. The Netherlands would be very happy to con- tribute to this aim.

The seminar was organised by the Centre of Environmental Science in Leiden and the Netherlands Committee for IUCN in co-operation with the IUCN Red List Programme. The seminar was attended by more than 90 participants from 23 European countries, most of them involved and interested in nature conservation in Europe, species specialists (botanists and zoologists) who are involved in Red Listing in Europe, European members of the SSC, European members of IUCN, policy makers and politicians. The objectives of the seminar have been defined as follows: 1 to get acquainted with the revised IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria, and the regional application guidelines; 2 to exchange experiences with the application of the IUCN Categories and Criteria and the regional application guidelines; 3 to discuss recommendations for a better harmonisation of national Red Listing across Europe. The first day of the seminar was largely devoted to the policy aspects of Red Listing in Europe, with a prominent attention for the European legislation, such Red List Book oktober. 11/13/03 12:31 PM Pagina 8 as the Birds and Habitat directives. A main outcome of this first day was, that the over 3,468 regional or national Red Lists identified in Europe show a high variability in purpose, composition, geographic coverage and Categories and Criteria used. Partly as a result of this variability and lack of a consistent ap- proach, Red Lists species are rarely used for European ecological networks and play a modest role in the updating of the annexes of the Habitats and the Birds directives. During the seminar it became obvious, that harmonization can only be reached on a voluntary basis. Red Lists are often embedded in local legislation and have great political and emotional significance. Changing this system from one day to the other may have large implications. In this context the use of pilots was recommended, to test the new IUCN Categories and Criteria (version 3.1.) on specific taxonomic groups. During the second day the more technical sessions resulted in specific re- commendations for the specialists working with Red Lists. During the seminar all objectives have been reached and the num- ber of participants resulted in the organisation of two parallel work- shops on the second day. The seminar is therefore perceived as a successful meeting, which has contributed significantly to the ongoing discussion on the use of Red Lists for nature conservation in Europe. Special thanks are due to Craig Hilton Taylor and Caro- line Pollock of the IUCN Red List Calopteryx virgo (C. Castelijns/Foto Natura) Programme and Ulff Gärdenfors for their support. I also want to thank the Ministry of Agriculture, Nature Man- agement and Food Quality and the Van Tienhoven Foundation once again for their generous financial support and the organisers for their efforts to realise this event. I wish that a follow-up will be given to the recommendations of this seminar. NC-IUCN and CML will continue to work on the follow-up of these recommendations, with your support.

    ABSTRACT Gregarine Parasitism in Dragonfly Populations of Central

    ABSTRACT Gregarine Parasitism in Dragonfly Populations of Central Texas with an Assessment of Fitness Costs in Erythemis simplicicollis Jason L. Locklin, Ph.D. Mentor: Darrell S. Vodopich, Ph.D. Dragonfly parasites are widespread and frequently include gregarines (Phylum Apicomplexa) in the gut of the host. Gregarines are ubiquitous protozoan parasites that infect arthropods worldwide. More than 1,600 gregarine species have been described, but only a small percentage of invertebrates have been surveyed for these apicomplexan parasites. Some consider gregarines rather harmless, but recent studies suggest otherwise. Odonate-gregarine studies have more commonly involved damselflies, and some have considered gregarines to rarely infect dragonflies. In this study, dragonfly populations were surveyed for gregarines and an assessment of fitness costs was made in a common and widespread host species, Erythemis simplicicollis. Adult dragonfly populations were surveyed weekly at two reservoirs in close proximity to one another and at a flow-through wetland system. Gregarine prevalences and intensities were compared within host populations between genders, among locations, among wing loads, and through time. Host fitness parameters measured included wing load, egg size, clutch size, and total egg count. Of the 37 dragonfly species surveyed, 14 species (38%) hosted gregarines. Thirteen of those species were previously unreported as hosts. Gregarine prevalences ranged from 2% – 52%. Intensities ranged from 1 – 201. Parasites were aggregated among their hosts. Gregarines were found only in individuals exceeding a minimum wing load, indicating that gregarines are likely not transferred from the naiad to adult during emergence. Prevalence and intensity exhibited strong seasonality during both years at one of the reservoirs, but no seasonal trend was detected at the wetland.

The IUCN Red List is categorized in the following Categories: • Extinct (EX): A taxon is Extinct when there is no reasonable doubt that the last individual has died. A taxon is presumed Extinct when exhaustive surveys in known and/or expected habitat, at appropriate times (diurnal, seasonal, annual), throughout its historic range have failed to record an individual. Surveys should be over a time frame appropriate to the taxon’s life cycle and life form.

(2005): Central European genera of the Boletaceae and Suillaceae, with notes on their anatomical characters. - Czech Mycol. 57: 1-50. A taxonomic survey of Central European genera of the families Boletaceae and Suillaceae with tubular hymenophores, including the lamellate Phylloporus, is presented. Questions concerning the delimitation of the bolete genera are discussed. Descriptions and keys to the families and genera are based predominantly on anatomical characters of the carpophores. Attention is also paid to peripheral layers of stipe tissue, whose anatomical structure has not been sufficiently studied. The study of these layers, above all of the caulohymenium and the lateral stipe stratum, can provide information important for a better understanding of relationships between taxonomic groups in these families. The presence (or absence) of the caulohymenium with spore-bearing caulobasidia on the stipe surface is here considered as a significant ge­ neric character of boletes. A new combination, Pseudoboletus astraeicola (Imazeki) Šutara, is proposed. Key words: Boletaceae, Suillaceae, generic taxonomy, anatomical characters. Šutara J.

One major reason for this is that several ecological and phylogeny; evolutionary traits may jointly shape species’ differences in range size. We range size; here present an integrated study of the contribution of ecological (dispersal Rapoport’s rule. capacity, body size and latitudinal position) and macroevolutionary (species’ age) traits in shaping variation in species’ range size in Coenagrion damsel- flies. We reconstructed the phylogenetic tree of this genus to account for evolutionary history when assessing the contribution of the ecological traits and to evaluate the role of the macroevolutionary trait (species’ age). The genus invaded the Nearctic twice independently from the Palearctic, yet this was not associated with the evolution of larger range sizes or dispersal capacity.

  • The Spread of Threatened Bracket Fungus in Estonian Forest Set-Asides

    The Spread of Threatened Bracket Fungus in Estonian Forest Set-Asides

    Long-term forest protection pays off: the spread of threatened bracket fungus in Estonian forest set-asides By Kadri Runnel & Asko Lõhmus, 19th September 2019 In forest conservation we too often seem to lose large intact landscapes and biodiverse forests to timber industries or land development before effective conservation action can take place. When ecologists then try to protect old-growth stands, striving to create large, well-connected habitat networks, they often find that the most sensitive species remain in only a few, isolated forest patches. Even once protected, we do not know whether and when these largely degraded habitats could enable remnant primaeval-forest species to recover across their range and spread out from their refugia along these networks. Most parts of Europe that have a long history of intensive land- use are currently faced with this situation. Fruit bodies of Amylocystis lapponica. Photo: Urmas Ojango Our small group of conservation mycologists has now provided a preliminary answer to this complex issue based on long-term monitoring of a threatened bracket fungus, Amylocystis lapponica, in Estonia. Amylocystis lapponica is a saprotrophic fungus that grows on large fallen conifer trunks and is threatened across Europe. In the last 30 years its fruit bodies have been recorded in eight European countries, mostly in the boreal zone. To the south it is only present in a few refugia in the best-preserved Central European primaeval forests. When in good shape, A. lapponica fruit bodies are easy to detect.
