The present geological period has more species than any other, yet the current rate of extinction of species is greater now than at any time in the past. Ecosystems and communities are being degraded and destroyed, and species are being driven to extinction. The species that persist are losing genetic variation as the number of individuals in populations shrinks, unique populations and subspecies are destroyed, and remaining populations become increasingly isolated from one another. The cause of this loss of biological diversity at all levels is the range of human activity that alters and destroys natural habitats to suit human needs.” (Primack, 2002). CapeNature launched its State of Biodiversity Programme (SoBP) to assess and monitor the state of biodiversity in the Western Cape in 1999. This programme delivered its first report in 2002 and these reports are updated every five years. The current report (2007) reports on the changes to the state of vertebrate biodiversity and land under conservation usage.

  • Xenosaurus Phalaroanthereon Nieto-Montes De Oca, Campbell, and Flores-Villela, 2001
    Xenosaurus phalaroanthereon Nieto-Montes de Oca, Campbell, and Flores-Villela, 2001. This knob-scaled lizard is endemic to the state of Oaxaca, where it occurs in the Montañas y Valles del Centro and Sierra Madre del Sur physiographic provinces at elevations from 1,670 (García- Padilla and Mata-Silva, 2014) to 2,185 m. Individuals of this live-bearing species occupy the interior of crevices, usually singly, in small granite boulders located on hillsides covered with oak and pine-oak forest. Populations persist, however, at sites converted to agricultural use, such as cornfields (Lemos-Espinal and Smith, 2005). Its EVS is calculated as 16, which places it in the middle portion of the high vulnerability category (Wilson et al., 2013a), and its IUCN status is Data Deficient. This species is one of 10 members of the monogeneric family Xenosauridae, which is endemic to Mesoamerica. All but one of the species is endemic to Mexico.

    Other Contributions NATURE NOTES Amphibia: Anura Family Bufonidae Incilius marmoreus (Wiegmann, 1833). Reproduction. The distribution of the Marbled Toad, Incilius marmo- reus, a Mexican endemic, extends from northern Sinaloa to Chiapas along the Pacific coastal plain, with an isolated population in Veracruz (Frost, 2017); on the Atlantic versant, Lemos Espinal and Dixon (2016: 354) also noted that this species occurs from “northern Hidalgo to the Isthmus of Tehuantepec.” Hardy and McDiarmid (1969) reported that most individuals in Sinaloa were found on the road at night during or just after rains, and that most females were collected in July and contained eggs. In Hidalgo, I. marmoreus aggregates in temporary ponds during the rainy season (Lemos Espinal and Dixon, 2016). Herein, I present data from a histological examination of I. marmoreus gonadal material from Colima and Sinaloa, and provide the minimum sizes for reproductive activity in males and females. The use of museum collections for obtaining reproductive data avoids removing additional animals from the wild. I examined 42 specimens of I. marmoreus (11 from Colima, collected in 1967, and 31 from Sinaloa, collected in 1960, 1962, 1963, and 1968). The combined samples consisted of 17 males (mean snout–vent length [SVL] = 54.5 mm ± 3.1 SD, range = 48–58 mm), 21 females (mean SVL = 60.9 mm ± 4.5 SD, range = 54–70 mm) and four juveniles from Sinaloa (mean SVL = 38.4 mm ± 7.1 SD, range = 29–44 mm); the specimens are maintained in the herpetology collection of the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County (LACM), Los Angeles, California, United States (Appendix 1).

  • Misgund Orchards
    MISGUND ORCHARDS ENVIRONMENTAL AUDIT 2014 Grey Rhebok Pelea capreolus Prepared for Mr Wayne Baldie By Language of the Wilderness Foundation Trust In March 2002 a baseline environmental audit was completed by Conservation Management Services. This foundational document has served its purpose. The two (2) recommendations have been addressed namely; a ‘black wattle control plan’ in conjunction with Working for Water Alien Eradication Programme and a survey of the fish within the rivers was also addressed. Furthermore updated species lists have resulted (based on observations and studies undertaken within the region). The results of these efforts have highlighted the significance of the farm Misgund Orchards and the surrounds, within the context of very special and important biodiversity. Misgund Orchards prides itself with a long history of fruit farming excellence, and has strived to ensure a healthy balance between agricultural priorities and our environment. Misgund Orchards recognises the need for a more holistic and co-operative regional approach towards our environment and needs to adapt and design a more sustainable approach. The context of Misgund Orchards is significant, straddling the protected areas Formosa Forest Reserve (Niekerksberg) and the Baviaanskloof Mega Reserve. A formidable mountain wilderness with World Heritage Status and a Global Biodiversity Hotspot (See Map 1 overleaf). Rhombic egg eater Dasypeltis scabra MISGUND ORCHARDS Langkloof Catchment MAP 1 The regional context of Misgund Orchards becomes very apparent, where the obvious strategic opportunity exists towards creating a bridge of corridors linking the two mountain ranges Tsitsikamma and Kouga (south to north). The environmental significance of this cannot be overstated – essentially creating a protected area from the ocean into the desert of the Klein-karoo, a traverse of 8 biomes, a veritable ‘garden of Eden’.

Reserve. 3 Costa Rica is internationally recognized as one of the most biologically diverse countries on the planet in total species numbers for many taxonomic groups of flora and fauna, one of those being amphibians. Costa Rica has 190 species of amphibians known from within its tiny 51,032 square kilometers territory. With 3.72 amphibian species per 1,000 sq. km. of national territory, Costa Rica is one of the richest countries in the world regarding amphibian diversity density. Amphibians are under constant threat by contamination, deforestation, climatic change, and disease. The majority of Costa Rica’s amphibians are surrounded by mystery in regards to their basic biology and roles in the ecology. Through intense research in the natural environment and in captivity many important aspects of their biology and conservation can become better known. The Costa Rican Amphibian Research Center (C.R.A.R.C.) was established in 2002, and is a privately owned and operated conservational and biological research center dedicated to studying, understanding, and conserving one of the most ecologically important animal groups of Neotropical humid forest ecosystems, that of the amphibians.

Department of Zoology, College of Life Sciences, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430072 Hubei Province, China. E-mail: [email protected] 2. College of Life Sciences, China West Normal University, Sichuan, China. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. We studied overwintering habitats selection of Bufo gargarizans during 2005-2008 in southwestern China. Our results showed most toads buried themselves in the ground. By comparing hibernation and post-reproductive dormancy sites, we found that the latter was closer to ponds with higher vegetable cover and shallower than hibernation sites. It indirect proves that toads consume large energy in the breeding season and a small quantity remains for the dormancy period. Keywords: Bufo gargarizans; hibernation site; post-reproductive dormancy site. Introduction snout-to-vent length (SVL) of 98.22 ± 1.43 mm (range 73.6 - 137 mm), and the males have 87.32 ± 0.94 mm Anurans are haematocryal animals without body (range 66 - 117 mm). The body mass of females can temperature regulative capability (Pinder et al. 1992), so reach 160.72 ± 18.73 g (range 112 - 315 g), males have they are vulnerable to freezing conditions and must 83.12 ± 4.2 g (range 52.1 - 138.59 g) in the breeding select suitable habitats unlikely to freeze.

  • Pseudoeurycea Naucampatepetl. the Cofre De Perote Salamander Is Endemic to the Sierra Madre Oriental of Eastern Mexico. This
    Pseudoeurycea naucampatepetl. The Cofre de Perote salamander is endemic to the Sierra Madre Oriental of eastern Mexico. This relatively large salamander (reported to attain a total length of 150 mm) is recorded only from, “a narrow ridge extending east from Cofre de Perote and terminating [on] a small peak (Cerro Volcancillo) at the type locality,” in central Veracruz, at elevations from 2,500 to 3,000 m (Amphibian Species of the World website). Pseudoeurycea naucampatepetl has been assigned to the P. bellii complex of the P. bellii group (Raffaëlli 2007) and is considered most closely related to P. gigantea, a species endemic to the La specimens and has not been seen for 20 years, despite thorough surveys in 2003 and 2004 (EDGE; www.edgeofexistence.org), and thus it might be extinct. The habitat at the type locality (pine-oak forest with abundant bunch grass) lies within Lower Montane Wet Forest (Wilson and Johnson 2010; IUCN Red List website [accessed 21 April 2013]). The known specimens were “found beneath the surface of roadside banks” (www.edgeofexistence.org) along the road to Las Lajas Microwave Station, 15 kilometers (by road) south of Highway 140 from Las Vigas, Veracruz (Amphibian Species of the World website). This species is terrestrial and presumed to reproduce by direct development. Pseudoeurycea naucampatepetl is placed as number 89 in the top 100 Evolutionarily Distinct and Globally Endangered amphib- ians (EDGE; www.edgeofexistence.org). We calculated this animal’s EVS as 17, which is in the middle of the high vulnerability category (see text for explanation), and its IUCN status has been assessed as Critically Endangered.

  • Amphibian Diversity and Threatened Species in a Severely Transformed Neotropical Region in Mexico
    RESEARCH ARTICLE Amphibian Diversity and Threatened Species in a Severely Transformed Neotropical Region in Mexico Yocoyani Meza-Parral, Eduardo Pineda* Red de Biología y Conservación de Vertebrados, Instituto de Ecología, A.C., Xalapa, Veracruz, México * [email protected] Abstract Many regions around the world concentrate a large number of highly endangered species that have very restricted distributions. The mountainous region of central Veracruz, Mexico, is considered a priority area for amphibian conservation because of its high level of ende- mism and the number of threatened species. The original tropical montane cloud forest in OPEN ACCESS the region has been dramatically reduced and fragmented and is now mainly confined to ra- Citation: Meza-Parral Y, Pineda E (2015) Amphibian vines and hillsides.
