Cape Verde Vegetation Plant Formations in the Cape Verdean BioProvince Peter Martin Rhind Cape Verdean Lowland Arid Pastures These arid pastures support various grasses. The most important species are Aristida adscensionis, A. cardosoi, Elionurus royleanus, Schmidtia pappophoroides and the endemic Aristida funiculata (Poaceae). Cape Verdean Upland Arid Pastures These pastures mainly occur at altitudes above 1400 m on well-developed soils. The principal grass species include Hyparrhenia hirta, Melinis minutiflora and Pennisetum polystachyon, but scattered throughout are various shrubs such as the endemic Astericus vogelii (Asteraceae), Campylanthus glaber (Scrophulariaceae), Lavandula rotundifolia (Lamiaceae) and Micromeria forbesii (Lamiaceae). In some of the more rocky areas other endemics such as Echium stenosiphon, E. vulcanorum (Boraginaceae), Erysimum caboverdeanum (Brassicaceae), Globularia amygdalifolia (Globulariaceae) and Sonchus daltonii (Asteraceae) can be found, while the endemic Artemisia gorgonum (Asteraceae) and Euphorbia tuckeyana (Euphorbiaceae) are more characteristic of ancient lava flows and the endemic Helianthemum gorgoneum (Cistaceae) is dominant on pumice. Among the typical annual species are Salvia aegyptiaca, Trichodesma africanum and the endemic Paronychia illecebroides (Caryophyllaceae). Cape Verdean Upland Humid Scrub In the more humid northern areas near to Ribeira Grande there are scrublands characterized by endemic taxa such as Artemisia gorgoneum (Asteraceae), Echium stenosiphon (Boraginaceae), Euphorbia tuckeyana (Euphorbiaceae), Globularia amygdalifolia (Globulariaceae), together with Lantana camara, Lavendula dentata, Wahlenburgia lobelioides, and other endemic species like Phagnalum melanoleucum (family?), Sonchus daltonii (Asteraceae) and Umbilicus schmidtii (Crassulaceae). These shrublands seem to represent a climax community but uncontrolled grazing and uprooting plants have degraded much. Cape Verdean High Altitude and Summit Vegetation Above altitudes of about 700 m the plant formations are largely characterized by the endemic taxa Diplotaxis vogelli (Asteraceae), Forsskaolea procridifolia (Urticaceae), Kickxia elegans subsp. dichondrifolia (Scrophulariaceae), Polycarpaea gayi (Caryophyllaceae), and perennial grasses such as Heteropogon contortus. But these formations include many more endemic plants with nine recorded for the summit of Pico of Fogo (2800-2829 m) alone. These are Centaurium tenuiflorum (Gentianaceae), Conyza feae, C. varia, Diplotaxis hirta, Phagnalon melanoleucum (Asteraceae), Paronychia illecebroides (Caryophyllaceae), Periploca laevigata subsp. chevalieri (Apocynaceae), Satureja forbesii (Lamiaceae) and Verbascum crystolithicum (Scrophulariaceae). Other endemic taxa at or above 2400 m on the Pico and/or on the Caldeira rim on Fogo include Campanula bravensis (Campanulaceae), Echium vulcanorum (Boraginaceae), Erysimum caboverdeanum (Brassicaceae) and Lavendula rotundifolia (Lamiaceae).

An extensive material of the Cape Verde endemic weevil genus Dinas Wollaston, 1867 (Curculionidae: Entiminae) is revised. Two subgenera are recog- nized based on the external morphology and biology of adults. Microspina subgen. nov. is established for the group with smaller-sized adults which are À ower-eaters adapted to habitats with Macaronesian endemic À ora; 10 species are transferred to the subgenus: D. (M.) angusticeps Roudier, 1957, D. (M.) angustula Wollaston, 1867, D. (M.) elliptipennis Wollaston, 1867, D. (M.) heckeli Geisthardt, 1995, D. (M.) micans Roudier, 1957, D.

  • Classic Versus Metabarcoding Approaches for the Diet Study of a Remote Island Endemic Gecko
    Questioning the proverb `more haste, less speed': classic versus metabarcoding approaches for the diet study of a remote island endemic gecko Vanessa Gil1,*, Catarina J. Pinho2,3,*, Carlos A.S.

ABSTRACT Dietary studies can reveal valuable information on how species exploit their habitats and are of particular importance for insular endemics conservation as these species present higher risk of extinction. Reptiles are often neglected in island systems, principally the ones inhabiting remote areas, therefore little is known on their ecological networks. The Selvagens gecko Tarentola (boettgeri) bischoffi, endemic to the remote and integral reserve of Selvagens Archipelago, is classified as Vulnerable by the Portuguese Red Data Book. Little is known about this gecko's ecology and dietary habits, but it is assumed to be exclusively insectivorous. The diet of the continental Tarentola species was already studied using classical methods. Only two studies have used next-generation sequencing (NGS) techniques for this genus thus far, and very few NGS studies have been employed for reptiles in general. Considering the lack of information on its diet Submitted 10 April 2019 and the conservation interest of the Selvagens gecko, we used morphological and Accepted 22 October 2019 Published 2 January 2020 DNA metabarcoding approaches to characterize its diet.

Oromi** & M. Arechavaleta** * Zentralinstitut Museum fur Naturkunde, Humboldt-Universitat zu Berlin, Institut fur Systematische Zoologie, Invalidenstr. 43, D-10115 Berlin, Germany ** Dpto. Biologia Animal, Univ. La Laguna, 38206, La Laguna, Tenerife, Canary Is., Spain. ABSTRACT A new planthopper species, Nisia subfogo sp.n. is described from a lava tube on the island of Fogo, Cape Verde Islands. This is the first troglobitic planthopper known in the archipelago, where no cave-adapted fauna had ever been found before. The new species is related to other species of Nisia occuring on the surface habitats of Cape Verde. Key words: Nisia subfogo, Meenoplidae, troglobite, lava tube, Cape Verde Islands. RESUMEN Se describe una nueva especie de Meenoplido procedente de un tubo volcanico de la isla de Fogo, Cabo Verde. Es el primer hemiptero troglobio conocido en el archipielago, donde no se habia encontrado hasta ahora ningun tipo de fauna cavernicola. La nueva especie esta emparentada con otras especies de Nisia propias de habitats de superficie de Cabo Verde. Palabras clave: Nisia subfogo, Meenoplidae, troglobio, tubo de lava, Cabo Verde. This work is part of the TFMC project "MACARONESIA 2000' 189 1. INTRODUCTION Planthoppers of the vast Cixiidae and Meenoplidae families include some hypogean species that feed on the roots and seedlings growing inside the caves. Many of these species are highly adapted to cave life, and can be found in many places around the world, especially in tropical and subtropical areas [6].

E-mail: [email protected]. Abstract The Libyan flora was last documented in a series of volumes published between 1976 and 1989. Since then there has been a substantial realignment of family and generic boundaries and the discovery of many new species. The lack of an update or revision since 1989 means that the Libyan Flora is now out of date and requires a reassessment using modern approaches. Here we report initial efforts to provide an updated checklist covering 43 families out of the 150 in the published flora of Libya, including 138 genera and 411 species. Updating the circumscription of taxa to follow current classification results in 11 families (Coridaceae, Guttiferae, Leonticaceae, Theligonaceae, Tiliaceae, Sterculiaceae, Bombacaeae, Sparganiaceae, Globulariaceae, Asclepiadaceae and Illecebraceae) being included in other generally broader and less morphologically well-defined families (APG-IV, 2016). As a consequence, six new families: Hypericaceae, Adoxaceae, Lophiocarpaceae, Limeaceae, Gisekiaceae and Cleomaceae are now included in the Libyan Flora.

Historians have suggested that the first Ecological disturbances colonizers initiated archipelago-wide ecosystem degradation, loss of vegetation cover, and erosion. However, the Human impacts human–environment interactions that led to the archipelago's current environmental status remain poorly un- Islands derstood. Here, we report the first palaeoecological study of past vegetation change and disturbance regimes for Landscape change Cabo Verde. We present a 2130-yr old sediment sequence from a volcanic caldera (Cova de Paúl) located at Macaronesia ~1200 m asl on Santo Antão Island, for which we analyzed fossil pollen, non-pollen palynomorphs (NPPs), Palaeoecology charcoal, silica bodies, and grain size distribution. Our analyses do not show evidence of the presence of tem- perate, tropical or subtropical forests growing on the summits of Santo Antão in pre-human times.
