  • Benthic Communities at Two Remote Pacific Coral Reefs: Effects of Reef
    Benthic communities at two remote Pacific coral reefs: eVects of reef habitat, depth, and wave energy gradients on spatial patterns Gareth J. Williams1,7 , Jennifer E. Smith1,7 , Eric J. Conklin2, Jamison M. Gove3,4 , Enric Sala5,6 and Stuart A. Sandin1 1 Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California, San Diego, La Jolla, CA, USA 2 The Nature Conservancy, Honolulu, Hawaii, USA 3 Coral Reef Ecosystem Division, Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center, USA 4 Joint Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Research, University of Hawaii at Manoa, Honolulu, Hawaii, USA 5 National Geographic Society, Washington, DC, USA 6 Centre d’Estudis Avanc¸ats de Blanes (CSIC), Blanes, Spain 7 These authors contributed equally to this work. ABSTRACT Kingman Reef and Palmyra Atoll in the central Pacific are among the most re- mote coral reefs on the planet. Here we describe spatial patterns in their benthic communities across reef habitats and depths, and consider these in the context of oceanographic gradients. Benthic communities at both locations were dominated by calcifying organisms (54–86% cover), namely hard corals (20–74%) and crustose coralline algae (CCA) (10–36%). While turf algae were relatively common at both locations (8–22%), larger fleshy macroalgae were virtually absent at Kingman (<1%) and rare at Palmyra (0.7–9.3%). Hard coral cover was higher, but with low diversity, in more sheltered habitats such as Palmyra’s backreef and Kingman’s patch reefs. Al- most exclusive dominance by slow-growing Porites on Kingman’s patch reefs provides indirect evidence of competitive exclusion, probably late in a successional sequence.

West Indian Flamingos Historically, the extensive mangrove wetlands of the Bahama Islands had been home to large flocks of West Indian Flamingos. In the 1700s, Mark Catesby produced the first illustrations of scarlet-coloured wading birds for his famous Natural History of Carolina, Florida and the Bahama Islands. But by the early years of the 20th century, concern for the survival of the West Indian Flamingo was rising. In 1905, the National Audubon Society in the United States urged The Bahamas government to take action, which led to passage of the Wild Birds (Protection) Act. http://bnt.bs/about-us/our-history/ 11/19/2017 Our History - Bahamas National Trust Page 2 of 6 In 1950, the Audubon Society sent its then Director of Research, Robert Porter Allen, to the island of Inagua to investigate what could be done to halt the flamingo’s slide to extinction. By then, the isolated back-waters of Lake Rosa on Inagua were home to the largest surviving group of West Indian Flamingos. Allen devoted three years to this field study, and with Bahamians Arthur Vernay and Elgin Forsythe, he formed a Society for the Protection of Flamingos in 1951. Two brothers on Inagua – Samuel and James Nixon – were hired as wardens.

This paper describes results of four visits between 2010 and 2012. The Santaren Channel, used to transit to and from Cay Sal Bank, contained high numbers (6.1 ± 0.4 birds per km2) of seabirds. The Cay Say Bank has at least 117 detectable islands with 484 ha of land area; the most numerous colony was at Elbow Cay (23 ha). Audubon’s Shearwaters (Puffinus lherminieri) were breeding at 97 pairs per ha (total: 2,200; 95% CI = 1,650-2,800 pairs), Sooty Terns (Onychoprion fuscatus) at 382 pairs per ha (total: 8,800; 95% CI = 6,900-10,700 pairs), Bridled Terns (Onychoprion anaethetus) at 38 pairs per km coastline (5,829 m coastline; total: 220; 95% CI = 145-295 pairs) and Brown Noddies (Anous stolidus) at 72 pairs per ha (total: 1,609; 95% CI = 1,070-2,250 pairs).

  • Hymenoptera: Vespidae)
    SHORT COMMUNICATION A Range Extension of the Social Wasp Polistes bahamensis (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) Christopher K. Starr Jo-Anne N. Sewlal The University of the West Indies1 Three species of social wasps are found in the whether the wasps came from just one or Bahamas (Elliott, 1985; Elliott & Elliott, 1996; several colonies. Richards, 1978), all with similar ranges. Polistes bahamensis, P. major and Mischocyttarus mexicanus are known from all sizeable islands except Mayaguana and Great Inagua, as well as in at least the southern part of Florida. The latter two are likewise found in Cuba. P. bahamensis (Figure 1)—formerly treated as subspecies of P. exclamans (Snelling, 1983)—is tentatively recorded from Mayaguana on the basis of apparently reliable museum specimens (Elliott & Elliott, 1996), although these authors failed to find it in either Mayaguana or Great Inagua (Figure 2). Our purpose here is to record and comment on its presence on Great Inagua. On 1 January 2011 we found P. bahamensis foragers flying along the sides of a road in the interior of Inagua. The road was on a causeway into Lake Windsor near the western boundary of Inagua National Park (approx. 20°59'N Figure 1. An early colony of Polistes bahamensis, 73°30'W), far from houses or other buildings. showing the single nest comb with excentric petiole and the color pattern of the wasp.
