The Habitat Preference of the Endemic Pygmy Nightjar Nyctipolus Hirundinaceus (Caprimulgidae) of Brazil

Accepted on 25 December 2013. ABSTRACT: We discuss the choice of habitats for roosting and breeding by the Pygmy Nightjar (Nyctipolus hirundinaceus), a Brazilian endemic from the eastern part of the country. We observed that the choice of nesting and roosting sites of this nightjar is closely connected to open gravelly and stony areas (lajeiros) in the Caatinga and to rocky outcrops (pedras) in the Atlantic Forest, which allows us to conclude that the Pygmy Nightjar is a rupicolous nightjar, preferring rocky substrates for roosting and breeding.

Nest-Site Provision Experiment for Long-Eared Owls to Attempt To
Notes Nest-site provision experiment for Long-eared Owls To attempt to improve the breeding success of Long-eared Owls Asio otus, artificial nest- sites were provided in an area where the owls were known to overwinter. The nests provided consisted of two types: old potato or apple-picker baskets made of willow, with the handles removed, and baskets of a similar shape made of wire-netting. Three willow baskets and six wire baskets were sited in November 1979, in a small Cambridgeshire wood of mixed deciduous trees, comprising mainly willow Salix, silver birch Betula, oak Quercus and hawthorn Crataegus. All the baskets were fixed to suitable trees at a height of approximately 5 m, and then each lined with sticks of various lengths and thicknesses to provide a firm base. 140. Long-eared Owl Asio otus on nest in willow basket provided as artificial nest-site, Cambridgeshire, May 1981 (D.J. Gamer) continued... 376 Notes 377 During the first year, 1980, none of the baskets was used, but in 1981 one of the willow baskets was occupied by a pair of Long-eared Owls (plate 140), which had a clutch of three eggs, of which two hatched, and two young fledged. Current literature states that Long-eared Owls nest in the same area each year, but not in the same nest. This is probably due to the fact that natural sites (e.g. old birds' nests and squirrels' dreys) are destroyed over winter and do not last for a further year. With this experiment using these more substantial nests, it is hoped that the same site will be used in succeeding years. -

45) Morocco and Western Sahara – April 2019
MOROCCO AND WESTERN SAHARA Date - April 2019 Duration - 22 Days Destinations Casablanca - El Jadida - Agadir - Souss-Massa National Park - Arrouais Reserve - Rokein Reserve - Tafraoute - Tizi n’ Test - Ouirgane - Imlil - Toubkal National Park - Ouzoud Falls - Ifrane National Park - Tazekka National Park - Dakhla - Aousserd Trip Overview - Morocco Having come to rely somewhat on his superb spotlighting skills, I decided that it made sense to schedule my return to Morocco for the Easter holiday period, when James would be home from university and available to travel with me once again. Although I appreciate his excellent company even more than his invaluable assistance on what can be fairly demanding tours, neither are luxuries that I will be able to rely upon for a great deal longer, as his studies will require far more of his time during his second year and of course there are now also more personal demands on any remaining free time. We will be travelling to the Congo, both the Republic and Democratic Republic, together in July 2019 to research a great apes tour that I have been planning for some time, but this will probably be our last major trip together for the foreseeable future. If it is, western gorillas and bonobos will be an appropriately spectacular way to conclude what, from my perspective at least, has been an incredibly rewarding experience and I have to say that I am glad that our remarkable journey did not come to an end in Morocco. That is not to suggest that Morocco is not a beautiful country and that our tour was unsuccessful, as neither are the case and we both thoroughly enjoyed exploring what is undoubtedly an alluring and historic destination. -
Amphibians and Reptiles of the Mediterranean Basin
Chapter 9 Amphibians and Reptiles of the Mediterranean Basin Kerim Çiçek and Oğzukan Cumhuriyet Kerim Çiçek and Oğzukan Cumhuriyet Additional information is available at the end of the chapter Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/intechopen.70357 Abstract The Mediterranean basin is one of the most geologically, biologically, and culturally complex region and the only case of a large sea surrounded by three continents. The chapter is focused on a diversity of Mediterranean amphibians and reptiles, discussing major threats to the species and its conservation status. There are 117 amphibians, of which 80 (68%) are endemic and 398 reptiles, of which 216 (54%) are endemic distributed throughout the Basin. While the species diversity increases in the north and west for amphibians, the reptile diversity increases from north to south and from west to east direction. Amphibians are almost twice as threatened (29%) as reptiles (14%). Habitat loss and degradation, pollution, invasive/alien species, unsustainable use, and persecution are major threats to the species. The important conservation actions should be directed to sustainable management measures and legal protection of endangered species and their habitats, all for the future of Mediterranean biodiversity. Keywords: amphibians, conservation, Mediterranean basin, reptiles, threatened species 1. Introduction The Mediterranean basin is one of the most geologically, biologically, and culturally complex region and the only case of a large sea surrounded by Europe, Asia and Africa. The Basin was shaped by the collision of the northward-moving African-Arabian continental plate with the Eurasian continental plate which occurred on a wide range of scales and time in the course of the past 250 mya [1].
