L’évaluation du Plan de gestion constitue un outil d'aide à la prise de décision pour le gestionnaire d'aire protégée afin de déterminer le degré de réalisation et de réussite des objectifs de gestion et au besoin réorienter les objectifs et actions initialement prévus. Cette phase de bilan permet également d'accroître la gestion participative en permettant de communiquer et d'améliorer la sensibilisation sur les objectifs de gestion et les actions de la RNN. Le 1er Plan de gestion de la Réserve Naturelle Nationale de Saint-Barthélemy a été validé le 25 juillet 2003 après l’aval du Comité Consultatif de la Réserve et couvrait la période 2004- 2008 (Diaz 2003). Ce document a été évalué en 2009-2010 à l’issue de la période quinquennale du plan (Caraïbes Aqua Conseil 2010). Le 2ème Plan de gestion 2010-2014 a été rédigé en 2010 (Caraïbes Aqua Conseil 2010) et validé la même année par le Conseil Consultatif de la Réserve Naturelle et le Conseil Territorial de la Collectivité de Saint-Barthélemy. Les actions prévues au cours du plan ont été évaluées en 2016 (Vaslet 2017). Le 2ème plan de gestion est antérieur à la généralisation de la méthodologie d'évaluation développée par Réserves Naturelles de France et l’Agence Française de la Biodiversité et n'a, de ce fait, pas été construit pour permettre une évaluation à partir de tableaux de bord et d'indicateurs. Des indicateurs de réalisation ont été utilisés, lorsque les données le permettaient, afin d’évaluer les objectifs et actions réalisés (Vaslet 2017). Le présent document constitue le 3ème Plan de gestion de la Réserve Naturelle Nationale de Saint-Barthélemy qui couvre une période de 10 ans (2018-2027). Ce plan est construit en 3 parties : - Partie A – Diagnostic de la Réserve Naturelle - Partie B – Gestion de la Réserve Naturelle - Partie C – Fiches actions sur la période 2018-2027 La nouvelle méthodologie des plans de gestion La méthodologie d’élaboration des plans de gestion des espaces protégés, développée par l’AFB et Réserves Naturelle de France (RNF), a été validée par le CNPN et est détaillée dans le nouveau guide méthodologique Cahier technique n° 88 « Guide d'élaboration des plans de gestion des espaces naturels » publié par l’AFB (anciennement ATEN – Atelier Technique des Espaces Naturels)1. 1 http://ct88.espaces-naturels.fr/node/1914 7 Le document stratégique des plans de gestion s’élabore en 5 étapes clefs qui constituent le cycle de gestion de l’ENP (Fig.1). Fig.1. Cycle de gestion des ENP (CT n°88, 2018). Une phase d’évaluation au cœur des plans de gestion Cette nouvelle méthodologie a pour but d’appréhender la démarche d’évaluation tout au long de l’élaboration et de la mise en œuvre du plan de gestion. La phase d’évaluation constitue un outil d’aide à la décision pour le gestionnaire dans le but d’atteindre les objectifs de gestion en matière d’état de conservation du patrimoine naturel, et ce au regard des enjeux du site et des menaces ou pressions. L’évaluation est ainsi positionnée au cœur du plan et permet de fournir les leviers pour prioriser les actions, identifier les menaces et pressions sous le contrôle du gestionnaire et les facteurs d’influence qui ne sont pas de son ressort tout en appréciant les résultats obtenus au regard des moyens humains, matériels et financiers alloués et mis en œuvre. Enjeux, Tableaux de bord et Indicateurs Les Enjeux du site protégé sont définis à partir du Diagnostic de la RNN (Partie A), de la valeur patrimoniale du site et de l’état de conservation des habitats et espèces (Partie B - section 1). De ces enjeux, découlent les Objectifs à long terme (OLT), les Objectifs Opérationnels (OO) définis à court et moyen termes et le plan d’actions concernant la gestion l’espace naturel protégé.

Prof. Moraes Rego, s/n, Cidade Universitária, 50670-901, Recife, Pernambuco, Brasil. E-mail:[email protected] ABSTRACT: The caatinga, a thorn-shrub succulent savannah, is located in Northeastern Brazil and characterized by a short and irregular rainy season and a severe dry season. Insects are only abundant during the rainy months, displaying a strong seasonal pat- tern. Here we present data from a yearlong Sphingidae survey undertaken in the reserve Estação Ecológica do Seridó, located in the state of Rio Grande do Norte. Hawkmoths were collected once a month during two subsequent new moon nights, between 18.00h and 05.00h, attracted with a 160-watt mercury vapor light. A total of 593 specimens belonging to 20 species and 14 genera were col- lected. Neogene dynaeus, Callionima grisescens, and Hyles euphorbiarum were the most abundant species, together comprising up to 82.2% of the total number of specimens collected. These frequent species are residents of the caatinga of Rio Grande do Norte. The rare Sphingidae in this study, Pseudosphinx tetrio, Isognathus australis, and Cocytius antaeus, are migratory species for the caatinga.

  • A Photographic Field Guide to the Sphingidae at the Archbold Tropical Research and Education Centre
    A Photographic Field Guide to the Sphingidae at the Archbold Tropical Research and Education Centre Caitlin Grant Texas A&M University Dr. James Woolley Dr. Tom Lacher Dominica Study Abroad 2011 Abstract Thirty-three moths from ten species of the family Sphingidae were collected. A representative of each species was photographed. Specimens were added to the collections at Texas A&M University and the Archbold Tropical Research and Education Centre. Introduction I had originally come to Dominica hoping to study all Lepidoptera on the island. After collecting several species, I quickly became fascinated with Sphinx moths and decided to focus my study on them. Sphinx moths belong to the order Lepidoptera and the family Sphingidae. Many of these moths are large-bodied and can be distinguished from other Lepidoptera by their long, slender forewings and small rounded hind wings. Many have been recorded with wingspans of 160 millimeters or more. They are very strong fliers and have earned the nickname “hummingbird moths” due to their size and flight patterns (Triplehorn, 2005). Materials and Methods The majority of the Sphingids seemed to appear around the station on their own. We had a light trap set up with a black light to capture other insects and some of the moths were found on the sheet. Many were even found on the sheet in the morning long after the light had been turned off. I collected the Sphingids by taking a Ziplock bag and holding it over the specimen until it flew into the bag. If I couldn’t reach the moth, I would use an aerial net to capture it and transfer it to a Ziplock.

Wagner Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Connecticut, Storrs, CT 06268 [email protected] The matter of moth decline in the Northeast and south- ern Canada, particularly of larger moths, has been of con- cern for a half century (Muller 1968-1979, Hessel 1976, Schweitzer 1988, Goldstein 2010). Below I offer an assess- ment, based on my 23 years in New England. Mine is a prospective piece meant to raise the issue of moth decline to a larger audience—it is a call for study, a research agen- da—offered in the absence of the quantitative data needed to make rigorous species-by-species status assessments. As a caveat to what I outline below, I should add that local, regional, and continental biota changes are the norm and that all animal and plant distributions change through time. Ranges and abundances may, in fact, be inherently much more dynamic than is generally understood. At issue here, is not change, but the rate and nature of changes.
