University´aria1440 Setor Universit´arioGoi^aniaGoi´as,Br´esil R´esum´e The archaeology of the Brazilian Central Plateau presents little information regarding the occupation of the area in the late Pleistocene and early Holocene. We highlight the re- search carried out in Santa Elina, Abrigo-do-Sol and Serran´opolis. Some areas present great potential for archaeological research in this period based on geology, geomorphology and the presence of archaeological sites, among them the Quaternary Fluvial Basin of the Ba- nanal (QFBB), the intracratonic basin that forms part of the Araguaia river basin (medium Araguaia) , resulting from denudational processes and covering an area of approximately 106,000km2. In the north of the basin is the Bananal Island, which occupies an area of 20,000 km2 (approximately twice the area of the Republic of Cyprus) encompassing the Araguaia National Park and the Araguaia Indigenous Area. In the BFQB, there are deposi- tional units inserted in the Middle Pleistocene (240,000 +/- 29,000 and 159,600 +/- 18,542 years BP), in the Upper Pleistocene (121,000 +/- 15,000 and 17,200 +/- 2,300 years BP) and in the Holocene (9,800 +/- 1,100 years BP). These units present records of paleohydro- logical and paleoclimatic changes.

Dow 2020 1 Report on collecting of Odonata in Ravenscourt FMU and Paya Maga, 2020 SUMMARY The results of collecting of Odonata (dragonflies and damselflies) in Limbang Division in July 2020 are reported. Collecting was conducted primarily in the Ravenscourt Forest Management Unit (FMU) with two days spent at the Paya Maga Conservation Area. Details of the research permit and dates on which collecting was carried out are listed. Forty-nine species were recorded during the survey, 36 species were recorded in the Ravenscourt FMU and 22 at Paya Maga. Although the total number of species recorded in the Ravenscourt FMU may appear low, it actually represents high diversity for the altitude range, terrain and habitat types surveyed and the part of Sarawak in which the FMU is situated. Thirty-seven (16 at Paya Maga, 29 at Ravenscourt) of the species recorded during the survey are forest species, e.g. species dependent on forest for their survival, and 29 (13 at Paya Maga, 24 at Ravenscourt) are endemic to Borneo; it is species in one or both of these categories that are typically of highest conservation concern.

    A Genus-Level Supertree of Adephaga (Coleoptera) Rolf G

    ARTICLE IN PRESS Organisms, Diversity & Evolution 7 (2008) 255–269 www.elsevier.de/ode A genus-level supertree of Adephaga (Coleoptera) Rolf G. Beutela,Ã, Ignacio Riberab, Olaf R.P. Bininda-Emondsa aInstitut fu¨r Spezielle Zoologie und Evolutionsbiologie, FSU Jena, Germany bMuseo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales, Madrid, Spain Received 14 October 2005; accepted 17 May 2006 Abstract A supertree for Adephaga was reconstructed based on 43 independent source trees – including cladograms based on Hennigian and numerical cladistic analyses of morphological and molecular data – and on a backbone taxonomy. To overcome problems associated with both the size of the group and the comparative paucity of available information, our analysis was made at the genus level (requiring synonymizing taxa at different levels across the trees) and used Safe Taxonomic Reduction to remove especially poorly known species. The final supertree contained 401 genera, making it the most comprehensive phylogenetic estimate yet published for the group. Interrelationships among the families are well resolved. Gyrinidae constitute the basal sister group, Haliplidae appear as the sister taxon of Geadephaga+ Dytiscoidea, Noteridae are the sister group of the remaining Dytiscoidea, Amphizoidae and Aspidytidae are sister groups, and Hygrobiidae forms a clade with Dytiscidae. Resolution within the species-rich Dytiscidae is generally high, but some relations remain unclear. Trachypachidae are the sister group of Carabidae (including Rhysodidae), in contrast to a proposed sister-group relationship between Trachypachidae and Dytiscoidea. Carabidae are only monophyletic with the inclusion of a non-monophyletic Rhysodidae, but resolution within this megadiverse group is generally low. Non-monophyly of Rhysodidae is extremely unlikely from a morphological point of view, and this group remains the greatest enigma in adephagan systematics.
