Johnson Robert D.with Fisher contributions and Craig A. by Ludwig Stanley A. Ahler, Herbert Haas, and Georges Bonani SERIES PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION Emphasis upon publication as a means of “diffusing knowledge” was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian. In his formal plan for the Institution, Joseph Henry outlined a program that included the following statement: “It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge.” This theme of basic research has been adhered to through the years by thousands of titles issued in series publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions in History and Technology Smithsonian Contributions to the Marine Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Museum Conservation Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology In these series, the Institution publishes small papers and full-scale monographs that report on the research and collections of its various museums and bureaus. The Smithsonian Contributions Series are distributed via mailing lists to libraries, universities, and similar institutions throughout the world. Manuscripts intended for publication in the Contributions Series undergo substantive peer review and evaluation by SISP’s Editorial Board, as well as evaluation by SISP for compliance with manuscript preparation guidelines (available on SISP’s “Author Resources” page at www.scholarlypress.si.edu).

Fisher and Craig A. Ludwig WASHINGTON D.C. 2016 ABSTRACT Fisher, Robert D. and Craig A. Ludwig. Catalog of Type Specimens of Recent Mammals: Orders Carnivora, Peris- sodactyla, Artiodactyla, and Cetacea in the National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution. Smith- sonian Contributions to Zoology, number 646, vi + 112 pages, 2016.—The type collection of Recent mammals in the Division of Mammals, National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, contains 612 specimens bearing names of 604 species-group taxa of Carnivora, Perissodactyla, Artiodactyla, and Cetacea as of May 2016. This catalog presents an annotated list of these holdings comprising 582 holotypes; 16 lectotypes, two of which are newly designated herein; 7 syntypes (15 specimens); and 1 neotype. Included are several specimens that should be in the collection but cannot be found or are now known to be in other collections and therefore are not in the database. Thirty-seven of the names are new since the last type catalog covering these orders, Arthur J. Poole and Viola S. Schantz’s 1942 “Catalog of the Type Specimens of Mammals in the United States National Museum, Including the Biological Surveys Collection” (Bulletin of the United States National Museum, 178). One of these, Lutra iowa Goldman, 1941, was transferred to the National Museum’s Paleobiology Department collection and is mentioned only briefly in this work. Orders and families are arranged systematically following D. E. Wilson and D. M. Reeder’s 2005 Mammal Species of the World: A Taxonomic and Geographic Reference, third edition, volume 1; within families, currently recognized genera are arranged alphabetically, and within each currently recognized genus, spe- cies and subspecies accounts are arranged alphabetically by original published name. Information in each account includes original name and abbreviated citation thereto, current name if other than original, citation for first use of current name combination for the taxon, type designation, U.S. National Museum catalog number(s), preparation, age and sex, date of collection and collector, original collector number, type locality, and remarks as appropriate. Digital photographs of each specimen will serve as a condition report and will be attached to each electronic speci- men record. An addendum contains two accounts for holotypes added to the collection subsequent to the publica- tion of the catalog for their taxa. Appendices tabulate summary data for all four of our recent type catalogs (Fisher and Ludwig, 2012, 2014, 2015, and this volume) and include authors of names, collectors of type specimens, coun- tries, islands, and provinces or states in which type specimens were collected, numbers of new names per decade, and summary numbers for holotypes, lectotypes, syntypes, neotypes, and new taxa since the last type catalog (Poole and Schantz, 1942) covering the entire type collection.

An overview of Nepenthes in the Philippines is presented. Four new species, Nepenthes extincta sp. nov., N. kitanglad sp. nov., N. kurata sp. nov. and N. leyte sp. nov. are described and illustrated from the Philippines and placed in the Nepenthes alata group. An updated circumscription and key to the species of the group is provided. Delimitation and comparison with the Regiae group is given. All four of the newly described species are assessed as threatened using the International Union for the Conservation of Nature 2012 standard, and one, N. extincta sp. nov. is considered likely to be already extinct due to open-cast mining. Logging and conversion of forest habitat are thought to be the main threats to the other three species. Key words. Conservation, Nepenthes alata group, Mindanao, threatened, ultramafic.

  • The Asean Heritage Parks Are Educational and Inspiratio
    Factsheet : Asean Heritage Parks Overview of Asean Heritage Parks (AHPs) The Asean Heritage Parks are educational and inspirational sites of high conservation importance , preserving a complete spectrum of representative ecosystems of the Asean region. These parks embody the aspirations of the people of the ten Asean nations to conserve their natural treasures. It was established to generate greater awareness, pride, appreciation, enjoyment and conservation of the Asean region’s rich natural heritage through a regional network of representative protected areas. A designation as an AHP is both an honour and a responsibility. The country accepts the responsibility to ensure the best possible level of protection is afforded to the site. The Asean Declaration on Heritage Parks In December 2003 at Yangon, all the Ministers of Environment of Asean member states accepted the principles of Asean Heritage Parks (AHPs) and jointly agreed to participate within the AHPs program to establish, develop and protect the designated parks. The 2003 declaration constitutes a reiteration of an earlier agreement in 1884, initiated by a smaller Asean. This declaration underscores the common cooperation between member states for the development and implementation of regional conservation and management action plans. Criteria for Nomination/ Award: Criteria Description Ecological An intact ecological process and capability to regenerate with completeness minimal human intervention. Representativeness The variety of ecosystems or species typical of a particular region. Naturalness In natural condition such as a second-growth forest or a rescued coral reef formation, with natural processes still going on. High conservation Has global significance for the conservation of important or importance valuable species, ecosystems or genetic resources; evokes respect for nature when people see it, as well as feeling of loss when its natural condition is lost.

When we hear about the establishment of a new national park or nature reserve we conservationists breathe a sigh of relief and assume that the biological and cultural values of another area are now secured. Unfortunately, this is not necessarily true. Protected areas that appear in government statistics and on maps are not always put in place on the ground. Many of those that do exist face a disheartening array of threats, ranging from the immediate impacts of poaching or illegal logging to subtle effects of air pollution or climate change.

This study was conducted to determine the species richness and endemism of anu- rans in four Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) sites in Mindanao, namely: Mts. Apo, Kitanglad, Hamiguitan and Malindang. Twelve randomly selected 20mx20m plots inside the 1-hectare plot were sur- veyed. Forest floor, leaf litter, fern fronds, tree branches, leaves, trunks, soil, and holes were surveyed exten- sively for occurrence of anurans. Eighteen species of anurans were documented in four LTER sites with eight species (44%) endemic. Among the four LTER sites, Mt. Malindang had the highest species richness (n=11) with six endemic species while Mt. Apo showed the least richness (n=5). Both Mts. Kitanglad and Apo had the least number of endemic species (n=4). Five species such as the Mindanao endemic Ansonia muelleri, Philautus acutirostris, and P.

Corresponding author: R. P. Sularte, [email protected] Abstract. Agusan Marsh is the 1009th RAMSAR site, a wildlife sanctuary which harbour unique and pristine faunal species. It is considered one of the most ecologically significant wetland ecosystems in the Philippines. The study assessed species distribution and abundance using Geographic Information System Map in Agusan Marsh between Sago Palm and Terminalia Forest. Results showed a total of 322 individuals, 11 species and 6 families of amphibians documented. Of the 11 species of amphibians documented in Sago Palm and Terminalia Forest, 6 were Philippine endemics, 3 were invasive species in the area. Terminalia forest had the highest number of individuals documented during the conduct of the study. Sago Palm and Terminalia Forest have almost the same type of vegetation where amphibian species thrive most. Furthermore, ecological and environmental threats (conversion of Terminalia Forest to agricultural land, run- off of environmental pollutants, pesticides run-off and Kaingin or Slash and Burns) being identified in the two habitat types should be given urgent attention.

Cudal, email: [email protected] Abstract Study on physicochemical properties and freshwater fish was conducted in Lake Duminagat, a lone small crater lake of Mount Malindang Natural Park with a total area of 8.04 hectares. Temperature, pH, oxidation reduction potential (ORP), electrical conductivity, turbidity, dissolved oxygen (DO), and total dissolved solids of (TDS) were the water parameters analyzed. The survey was undertaken in May 2013. The pH, turbidity, and DO in Lake Duminagat fall within the permissible limit for Class AA water body classification intended primarily for waters having watersheds that are declared as protected areas, whereas temperature and TDS were below the standards. Not all of the water parameters analyzed showed significant relationship with water depth. A total of six species of freshwater fish belonging to three families was collected. Diversity Index was found to be high (1.63). The most abundant species in the lake are the native Barbodes binotatus (34.43%) and the exotic Xiphophorus helleri (21.31%), whereas the native Anguilla marmorata (4.92%) was found to be the least abundant.
