Rapid Assessment Program RAP Working Papers F A Biological Assedsment of the Alto Madidi Region and adjacent areas of Northwest Bolivia May 18 - June 15,1990 CONSERVATION INTERNATIONAL DECEMBER 1991 Rapid Assessment Program Knowledge of the pl;unet's biota is uneven. While some regions have been st~~diedextensively by biologists, others have scarcely been touclieci by scientific exploration. In recent years, large-scale changes in land use worldwide have made it impel.ative that we analyze as Inany of these un- k~iow~i11, '1 ?* ft'lts ns, , possible while they continue to exist in relatively pris- tine states. Rapid assessments allow conservationists to evaluate anel compare areas as a means of determining the biological base for conserva- tion priorities. Conservation International's Rapid Assessment Progra~n(RAP) as- sembles teams of world-renowned experts and host country scientists to generate first-cut assessments of the biological value of different sites, ar- eas, ancl regions around the worlcl. RAP aims to identify regions of highest biological importance for conservation. An area's importance can be char- acterized by its total biocliversity, its elegree of encle~nism,the ~~niq~~eness of an ecosyste~n,or the elegree of risk of extinction on either a national or a global scale. As a conservation tool, RAP precedes long-term scientific inventory. When satellite images of an area targeted for a RAP assessment are available, the team consults them prior to a trip to determine the extent of forest cover ancl likely areas for exploration. Once in-count~y,the scien- tists make overflights in s~nallplanes or helicopters to identify forest types ancl points for field transects. Groi~ndtravel is more difficult: Oftcn a combination of vehicles, boats, pack animals, ancl foot travel is required to get the team to re~notesites where few, if any, roads exist. Trips may last from fo~~rto eight weeks. On each trip, in-country scientists form a central part of the team. Local experts arc especially critical to ~~nclcrstandingareas where little ex- ploration has been ~unclertaken. Furthermore, any subsequent research and protection of habitats following a RAP trip will invariably depend on the initiatives of local scientists and conservationists. We hope that Rcrl., Wol.Itilig PCIIICI.Swill contribute to scientific knowledge of the earth's biodiversity. But even more i~nportant,we hope these st~~dieswill provide conservation groups around the world with data they need to help preserve the earth's biological heritage for future gen- erations.

    Cordillera Apolobamba - the First Ascent Ofpalomani Tranca

    135 Cordillera Apolobamba - The First Ascent ofPalomani Tranca Jim Curran Plates 54-56 The Cordillera Apolobamba is 130km NE of Lake Titicaca in SE Peru on the Bolivian border. It had been visited from Bolivia but seldom from Peru, and never by a British expedition. One summit, Palomani Tranca 5633m, remained unclimbed. This much information, gleaned by Geoff Tier after many fruitless hours in the RGS and AC libraries, was more or less what I had expected, for Geoff has that enviable knack of Finding Things Out. Moreover, he then Does Something About Them. As I lack both these attributes almost entirely but compensate for the lack with a proven and long standing flair for being led astray it was inevitable that, around the beginning of July, I would find myself with Geoff once more at Heathrow's Terminal 3 in double boots, salopette and furry jacket, clumping aboard a DClO. With me was an unopened letter from my bank manager marked 'Urgent and Confidential'. Generous support from the MEF and the BMC enabled us to fly to Lima where we met Andy Maskrey, an old friend of Geoffs, who had been working for five years in Peru running a disaster agency. His fluent Spanish was without doubt, the key factor in enabling us to get anywhere near our range for it must be said that once away from the main tourist circuit, some Spanish is essential. Andy's Peruvian girl-friend Chepi also spoke Quechua so that in many respects Geoff and I had a very easy time. We found out very quickly that in South America you are not a sahib but a gringo - a big difference.

[email protected]; [email protected] Abstract. The genus Steinmanella Crickmay is recorded in several Lower Cretaceous marine units of the Neuquén Basin. It is particularly abundant at the transition between the Vaca Muerta and Mulichinco formations. This paper presents a taxonomic revision of this fauna, discusses the stratigraphic range of each species, and describes and interprets the associated lithofacies based on detailed field sections, newly collected specimens and revision of previous fossil collections. Four sections were measured in northern Neuquén comprising the upper beds of the Vaca Muerta Formation and the lower ones of the Mulichinco Formation. The Steinmanella fauna was dated accurately on the basis of a precise ammonoid zonation. The species were found in the Neocomites wichmanni and Lissonia riveroi zones of early Valanginian age. Specimens were collected in situ from dark grey shales, alternating siltstones, wackestones and mudstones, and rudstones. Three species were identified: Steinmanella curacoensis (Weaver), S. quintucoensis (Weaver), and S. subquadrata sp. nov. Steinmanella curacoensis has an oval outline, poor demarcation of carinae, flank and corselet ribs partially intercalated at the median part of the valve, and oval escutcheon.

    Palaeoecology and Depositional Environments of the Tendaguru Beds (Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous, Tanzania)

    Mitt. Mus. Nat.kd. Berl., Geowiss. Reihe 5 (2002) 19-44 10.11.2002 Palaeoecology and depositional environments of the Tendaguru Beds (Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous, Tanzania) Martin Aberhan ', Robert Bussert2, Wolf-Dieter Heinrich', Eckhart Schrank2, Stephan Schultkal, Benjamin Sames3, Jiirgen =wet4 & Saidi Kapilima5 With 6 figures, 2 tables, and 2 plates Abstract The Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous Tendaguru Beds (Tanzania, East Africa) have been well known for nearly a century for their diverse dinosaur assemblages. Here, we present sedimentological and palaeontological data collected by the German- Tanzanian Tendaguru Expedition 2000 in an attempt to reconstruct the palaeo-ecosystems of the Tendaguru Beds at their type locality. Our reconstructions are based on sedimentological data and on a palaeoecological analysis of macroinverte- brates, microvertebrates, plant fossils and microfossils (ostracods, foraminifera, charophytes, palynomorphs). In addition, we included data from previous expeditions, particularly those on the dinosaur assemblages. The environmental model of the Tendaguru Beds presented herein comprises three broad palaeoenvironmental units in a marginal marine setting: (1) Lagoon-like, shallow marine environments above fair weather wave base and with evidence of tides and storms. These formed behind barriers such as ooid bar and siliciclastic sand bar complexes and were generally subject to minor salinity fluctuations. (2) Extended tidal flats and low-relief coastal plains. These include low-energy, brackish coastal lakes and ponds as well as pools and small fluvial channels of coastal plains in which the large dinosaurs were buried. Since these environments apparently were, at best, poorly vegetated, the main feeding grounds of giant sauropods must have been elsewhere.

Hasta ahora se habla de 327 municipios. El último municipio creado el 23 de diciembre es Alto Beni. Se llevaron a cabo ya siete elecciones municipales. Fuentes: CNE, INE, FAM y Centro de Documentación e Información CEDOIN/GTZ Bolivia tiene 9 departamentos, 112 provincias y 327 municipios, de los cuales 187 son indígenas (57%), según investigaciones llevadas a cabo por Xavier Albó y Carlos Romero (Autonomías Indígenas y su realidad en la nueva Constitución, GTZ/PADEP, 2009). Entre 2005 y 2009 se han creado otros 10 municipios, los cuales tendrán plena vigencia con la elección de sus autoridades en los comicios del 4 de abril de 2010. Los municipios llegarán, entonces, a un total de 337 en Bolivia. Las elecciones municipales y prefecturales de abril marcan un hito en la historia boliviana ya que se desarrollarán bajo el paraguas legal de la nueva Constitución Política del Estado. Asimismo, once municipios que optaron por declararse municipios indígenas autónomos, en la consulta del 6 diciembre de 2009 (llevada a cabo junto con las elecciones generales) elegirán a sus alcaldes y concejales por primera vez de acuerdo a sus saberes tradicionales. La elección de las autoridades será transitoria hasta que se aprueben sus cartas orgánicas municipales, conocidas también como estatutos. 1.

Based on data of the German-Tanzanian Tenda- guru Expedition 2000 and previous studies, and in accordance with the international stratigraphic guide, we raise the Tendaguru Beds to formational rank and recognise six members (from bottom to top): Lower Dinosaur Member, Nerinella Member, Middle Dinosaur Member, Indotrigonia africana Member, Upper Dinosaur Member, and Ruti- trigonia bornhardti-schwarzi Member. We characterise and discuss each member in de- tail in terms of derivation of name, definition of a type section, distribution, thickness, lithofacies, boundaries, palaeontology, and age. The age of the whole formation appar- ently ranges at least from the middle Oxfordian to the Valanginian through Hauterivian or possibly Aptian. The Tendaguru Formation constitutes a cyclic sedimentary succes- sion, consisting of three marginal marine, sandstone-dominated depositional units and three predominantly coastal to tidal plain, fine-grained depositional units with dinosaur remains.

    ADDITIONAL STUDIES on the JURASSIC TRIGONIIDAE of POLAND the Studies on Polish Trigoniids Carried out by the Present Author Firs

    ACT A PAL A EON T 0 LOG ICA POLONICA ---- Vol. 22 1977 Nr.3 HALINA PUGACZEWSKA " ADDITIONAL STUDIES ON THE JURASSIC TRIGONIIDAE OF POLAND Abstract. - Eleven trigoniid species of the genera Trigonia Bruguiere, MyophoreHa Bayle and Rutitrigonia van Hoepen, including one new species, R. skorkovensis. sp.n., are described from the Jur~ssic of Poland. The representatives of the genus Ruti­ trigonia are reported for the first time fro'm the Lower Kimmeridgian of Poland which markedly increases the stratigraphic and geographic range of that genus hit­ herto considered as limited to the Upper Kimmeridgian - Upper Cretaceous of the Phillippines, Japan and the souther.n hemisphere. INTRODUCTION The studies on Polish trigoniids carried out by the present author first covered the material from the Dogger of L~czyca, Polish Lowlands (Pugaczewska 1976). The present paper presents the results of studies on trigoniids from the Bajocian - Upper Callovian of southern Poland, Bat­ honian - Kimmeridgian of the Mesozoic margins of the Holy Cross Mts, Upper Oxfordian - Lower Kimmeridgian of western Pomerania and Cal­ lovian of glacial drift from :Luk6w in the Polish Lowlands (fig. 1). The difference between the assemblages here studied and that from the Dog­ ger of L~czyca concerns the lack of the genus Vaugonia Crickmay in the former. The genus Rutitrigonia van Hoepen, represented here by R. scor­ covensis sp.n. was hitherto known from the Upper Kimmeridgian and Cretaceous of Africa, Philippines and. Japan; its record from the Lower Kimmeridgian of the Holy Cross Mts indicates that its stratigraphic and geographic ranges are wider than it was previously assumed.
