A ces matériaux ont été joints ceux réunis au cours des missions de nos collègues : M. DESCAMPS (1964), R. BÉNARD (1966), L. MATILE (1965), et G. REMAUDIÈRE (1955-1966). ANN. SOC. ENT. FR. (N. S.), 3 (2), 1967, 327 à 379- 328 A. VILLIERS J'y ai ajouté également les Cérambycidés appartenantaux collections du « Plant Pest and Diseases Research Institute » d'Evine, près de Téhéran, et ceux récoltés jadis par DE MORGAN et dont la plupart ont pu être retrouvés dans les collections du Muséum de Paris. Enfin j'ai cité les diverses espèces et localités iraniennes mentionnées. dans un certain nombre de publications afin de rédiger une sorte de catalogue des Cérambycidés d'Iran. Il est bien évident que ce « catalogue » est très incomplet car bien des citations dispersées dans de multiples périodiques me sont restées inconnues comme d'ailleurs les matériaux iraniens des musées soviétiques. Néanmoins, j'espère que, tel qu'il est, il pourra rendre quelques services aux Entomologistes oeuvrant sur la riche faune iranienne et en tout premier lieu à nos collègues iraniens. J'énumère ici environ 250 espèces, ce qui vient confirmer l'estimation du nombre des Cérambycidés iraniens effectuée par MIRZAYAN (1950, Entomologie et Phytopathologie appliquées). Il est certain que, le territoire iranien n'ayant pas encore été totalement prospecté, un bon nombre de formes viendront encore s'ajouter aux listes qui suivent. Parmi les espèces citées par MIRZAYAN, certaines, que je n'ai pu voir, sont probablement mal déterminées et je ne les ai pas fait figurer dans mon catalogue. Ce sont : Hesperophanes sericeus FABRICIUS, Cerambyx carinatus KÙSTER, Phytoecia nigricornis FABRICIUS. De même, dans son récit de voyage, BODEMEYER cite des espèces dont la présence en Iran me paraît plus que douteuse : Cortodera starcki REITTER, Rhopalopus insubricus GERMAR, Rham- musium bicolor SCHRANK, Phytoecia nigricornis FABRICIUS, Xylotrechus pantherinus SAVENIUS, Chlorophorus motschulskyi GEBLER, Agapanthia villosoviridescens DE GEER. C'est pour moi un agréable devoir que de remercier ici MM. les ProfesseursA. DAVATCHI et A. BALACHOWSKY,organisateursde la Mission franco-iranienne de 1965 et mes collègues S. BREUNING et L. HEYROWSKY qui ont bien voulu m'apporter l'aide de leur grande compétence dans maintes déterminations délicates. II. — LA MISSION FRANCO-IRANIENNE LISTE DES LOCALITÉS La mission franco-iranienne de 1965 a été organisée à l'initiative de M. le Professeur A. S. BALACHOWSKYavec pour but principal l'étude de la faune entomologique des zones arides et semi-arides de l'Iran, notam- ment du Baluchestan. Elle a bénéficié des plus larges appuis du gou- vernement iranien, notamment de M. le Professeur A. DAVATCHI de l'Université de Karadj, qui n'a pas ménagé ses efforts pour en assurer le succès. CONTRIBUTION A LA FAUNE DE L IRAN 329 La mission comprenait sept membres, quatre Français (G. COLAS, B. HURPIN, F. PIERRE et A. VILLIERS) et trois Iraniens (A. DEZFOULIAN, A. GHARIB et M. SAFAVI). L'itinéraire, établi par les autorités iraniennes, couvrait un parcours d'environ 12 000 km, traversant des régions très variées. Les récoltes ont été effectuées au cours de haltes ou de séjours très brefs dans les localités suivantes : 1er mars : Kanakin -> Kermanshah. 2 mars : Kermanshah -> (chasse au kilomètre 70 Est) —> Hama- dan —> Ghazvin. 3 mars : Ghazvin -> Téhéran. 3-14 mars : Téhéran. 15 mars : Téhéran —> Saveh -> Ispahan. 16 mars : Ispahan. 17 mars : Ispahan —> Shiraz. 18 mars : Shiraz -> lac Maharlou (20 km Est de Shiraz) -> Shiraz. 19 mars : Shiraz -> Persépolis -> Nageh-e-Rostan -» Pasargade ->- Shiraz. 20 mars : Shiraz —> Dacht-Argen (60 km Ouest de Shiraz) -> Shiraz. 21 mars : Shiraz -> Sarvestan -> Fasa. 22 mars : Fasa -> Ab-Barik -> Larh. 23 mars : Lar —> Bandar-Khamir —> Bandar-Langeh. 24-25 mars : Bandar-Langeh. 26 mars : Bandar-Langeh —> Bandar-Abbas. 27-28 mars : Bandar-Abbas. 29 mars : Bandar-Abbas —> 20 km Ouest -> Bandar-Abbas. 30 mars : Bandar-Abbas -> Minab. 31 mars : Minab. 1er avril : Minab. 2 avril : Djiroft. 3 avril : Djiroft -> Deh-Bakri —> Bam. 4 avril : Bam -> désert de Kerman -> Zahedan. 5-6 avril : Zahedan. 7 avril : Zahedan -> Khash -> Iranshahr. 8 avril : Iranshahr ->- Bampur -» Ispakeh -> Nikshahr. 9 avril : Nikshahr -s» Chahbahar (golfe d'Oman). 10 avril : Chahbahar. 11 avril : Chahbahar ->- 5 km Est -> Chahbahar. 12 avril : Chahbahar -> Nikshahr. 13 avril : Nikshahr -> Iranskahr. 14 avril : Iranshalrr. 15 avril : Iranshahr -> Khash. 16 avril : Khash. 17 avril : Khash —> Zahedan. 18 avril : Zahedan. 19 avril : Zahedan -> Zabol. 330 A.

    THE DIVERSITY AND ECOLOGICAL IMPACTS OF BUPRESTID AND CERAMBYCID BEETLES ON EZEMVELO NATURE RESERVE, GAUTENG PROVINCE by DUNCAN NEIL MACFADYEN Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree MAGISTER TECHNOLOGIAE: NATURE CONSERVATION Department of Nature Conservation TSHWANE UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY Supervisor: Prof. B.K. Reilly Co Supervisor: Dr C.L. Bellamy February 2005 DECLARATION The compilation of this thesis and the work reported on is the result of the author’s original work, unless specifically acknowledged, or stated to the contrary, in the text. _________________________ 2 D.N. MacFadyen September 2004 ABSTRACT Understanding the extent and cause of insect diversity on a nature reserve is often seen as a challenge to reserve management. Recent calculations that there may be more than 20 million species of insects on earth have focused attention on their magnitude and stimulated several new lines of research (although the true figure is now widely thought to be between five and ten million species). This study discusses work based on light trapping, beating and sweeping surveys, plant association, seasonal change and community dynamics of Cerambycidae and Buprestidae, families of the Order Coleoptera. It is argued that progress in estimating insect diversity in understanding insect community dynamics will be enhanced by building local inventories of species diversity, and in descriptive and experimental studies of the structure of communities. As can be seen from their diaries and notebooks, contemplation of how such wonderful abundance and variety might arise was instrumental in pointing Darwin and especially Wallace to the theory of natural selection (Godfray et al. 1999). This study was undertaken to investigate the community structure of two families of wood-boring beetles, providing a more systematic and quantitative approach to cataloguing insect diversity in a protected area context.

  • Our Planet Reviewed Programme Report N°1 the Coastal Forests of Northern Mozambique 2008-2009 Expeditions
    Our Planet Reviewed programme report n°1 The Coastal Forests of Northern Mozambique 2008-2009 Expeditions In-country Partner : Instituto de Investigação Agrária de Moçambique (IIAM) March 2011 The « Our Planet Reviewed » initiative Current efforts to establish priorities for conservation and management are based on existing knowledge, and rarely, if ever, involve the painstaking process of acquiring adequate new information. An unfortunate consequence of this approach is that we focus our efforts on learning more about what is already reaso- nably well known (e.g. charismatic mega-fauna, birds, etc.) while neglecting other equally important components of biodi- versity (e.g. invertebrates, fungi, etc.), which are often excluded altogether from consideration. « Our Planet Reviewed » is a new initiative for filling key gaps in our knowledge of the world’s major biodiversity areas. The new challenge for our project teams is to apply their scientific and technical knowledge in regions of the world where the most pressing issues of Biodiversity and Conservation converge. We will thus focus on areas that are recognized as globally important for biodiversity, but where numerous knowledge gaps constitute a serious impediment to sound conser- vation and resource management decisions. Filling gaps in key areas of the world Global conservation assessments and the establishment of conservation priorities require robust and reliable information on the distribution of biodiversity across the planet. Yet this information is often mapped at a very coarse spatial resolu- tion relative to the scale at which most land-use and management decisions are made. Furthermore, most biodiversity mapping tends to focus selectively on better-known (and often more emblematic) elements, such as larger vertebrates.
