This includes observations of behaviour, breeding and flowering patterns, distributions and range extensions, foraging, food, movement, measurements, habitat and colouration/plumage variations. Biotic interactions such as pollination, fruit dispersal, herbivory and predation fall within the scope, as well as the use of indigenous and exotic species by humans. Observations of naturalised plants and animals will also be considered. Biodiversity Observations will also publish a variety of other interesting or relevant biodiversity material: reports of projects and conferences, annotated checklists for a site or region, specialist bibliographies, book reviews and any other appropriate material.
  • Critical Species of Odonata in Eastern Africa

    Critical Species of Odonata in Eastern Africa

    --- Guardians of the watershed. Global status of dragonflies: critical species, threat and conservation --- Critical species of Odonata in eastern Africa Viola Clausnitzer Liebenauer Stra~e 180, D-0611 0 Halle/Saale, Germany. <violacl®gmx.de> Key words: Odonata, dragonfly, IUCN, critical species, conservation, eastern Africa. ABSTRACT From eastern Africa, ranging from Somalia and Ethiopia south to Mozambique and Zimbabwe and west to eastern Democratic Republic of Congo and Botswana, ca 500 species of Odonata are known. Comments on species and sites of conserva­ tion concern are given as well as recommendations for future research and conservation activities. Due to the rapid and ongoing destruction of forests, especially of coastal, Guineo-Congolian and Eastern Arc forests, species confined to these habitats are the most threatened. REGIONAL DEFINITION Eastern Africa is not a fixed political or geographical description for a specific area. Here the term is used for the region comprising the Rift Valley from Ethiopia south­ ward to Mozambique and northern Botswana and westward to eastern Democratic Republic of Congo and eastern Angola. The neighbouring regions are covered to the south by Sam ways (2004 ), to the southwest by Suhling et al. (2004 ), to the west by Dijkstra & Vick (2004) and to the north by Jodicke et al. (2004). As biogeo­ graphy and faunistic distributions do not follow political borders, there may be overlaps with neighbouring regions. The area considered here covers some of the most important centres for endemism and regions of high biodiversity in Africa, namely forested mountain chains along the Albertine Rift and the Eastern Arc and coastal forests (e.g.

    NABU’s Biodiversity Assessment at the Kafa Biosphere Reserve, Ethiopia Dragonflies and damselflies (Odonata) at the Kafa Biosphere Reserve Viola Clausnitzer 160 DRAGONFLIES Highlights ´ A total of 33 Odonata (=dragonflies and damselflies, hereafter referred to as “dragonflies”) species from seven families were recorded (31.1% of Ethiopia’s dragonfly fauna and 65% of dragonfly fauna ever recorded in the Kafa BR). ´ A total of 51 dragonfly species from nine families has ever been recorded in the Kafa BR. ´ Three species are new to Ethiopia (Aciagrion gracile, Tetrathemis polleni, Phyllomacromia spec.). ´ Twelve species were recorded the first time for the Kafa BR, including the endemic and endangered Notogomphus ruppeli. ´ Eight of the recorded species are endemic to the Ethiopian highlands (Pseudagrion guichardi, P. kaffinum, Notogomphus cottarellii, N. ruppeli, Atoconeura aethiopica, Orthetrum kristenseni, Palpopleura jucunda radiata, Trithemis ellenbeckii). ´ Five species are threatened according to the global IUCN Red List of Threatened Species (three ‘vulnerable’, two ‘endangered’), all of them endemic to Ethiopia. ´ Endemic species were only found in montane and submontane forest streams. ´ The lower areas (wetlands) exhibit higher diversity, but no endemic species. ´ The Ethiopian Highlander (Atoconeura aethiopica), the Ethiopian Sprite (Pseudagrion guichardi) and the Kaffa Sprite Pseudagrion( kaffinum) are flagship species. ´ In addition to these flagship species, the montane forest gomphids Cottarelli’s Longlegs (Notogomphus cottarellii) and Rüpell’s Longlegs (Notogomphus ruppeli) could be good indicators of the status of conservation of the forests. ´ These findings show the great significance of the natural habitats within the Kafa BR for maintaining Ethiopia’s diversity and high level of endemism and the importance of conserving the remaining natural and semi-natural sites.

    Group Oviposition in Three Platycnemidid Species ( Odonata: Platycnemididae)

    International Journal ofOdonatology 5 (1): 75-80,2002 © 2002 Backhuys Publishers. 75 Group oviposition in three platycnemidid species ( Odonata: Platycnemididae) Andreas Martens Zoologisches Institut der Technischen Universitat Braunschweig, Fasanenstrasse 3, D-38092 Braunschweig, Germany. <[email protected]> Received 23 August 2001; revised and accepted 24 November 2001. Key words: Odonata, dragonfly, aggregation, habitat selection, oviposition site selection, Mesocnemis, Platycnemis. Abstract The European Platycnemis acutipennis and P. latipes and the African Mesocnemis singularis aggregate during oviposition. Choice experiments show that, in all three species, groups develop because tandems preferentially land where conspecifics already show oviposition behaviour. Just a single motionless male in the typical vertical position of a tandem male stimulates aggregation and oviposition behaviour in conspecifics. Introduction In some zygopteran species, grouping of ovipositing pairs is often observed. In the platycnemidid Platycnemis pennipes (Pallas) and some Coenagrionidae, groups develop because tandems prefer to land close to conspecific pairs (Martens 1992, 1993). This paper demonstrates such behaviour in three more species of Platycnemididae, using a standardized experimental setup that is particularly useful in strong water currents. Material and methods Species and localities Platycnemis acutipennis Selys and P. latipes Rambur are medium-sized Zygoptera. The bodies of the males are pale orange and white, respectively, and black markings occur on thorax and at the tip of the abdomen. Both species occur in South-Western Europe and inhabit especially running waters (Martens 1996). The reproductive behaviour of both species has been described in detail by Heymer (1966). Choice experiments with P. latipes were carried out 21-25 June 1993 at the Canal de Vergieres, southern France (43°34'N, 4°50'E, alt.
