The WDA aims to advance public education and awareness by the promotion of the study and conservation of dragonflies (Odonata) and their natural habitats in all parts of the world. AGRION covers all aspects of WDA’s activities; it communicates facts and knowledge related to the study and conservation of dragonflies and is a forum for news and information exchange for members. Members can download previous issues of AGRION from the WDA website at http://ecoevo.uvigo.es/WDA/dragonfly.htm. WDA is a Registered Charity (Not-for- Profit Organization), Charity No. 1066039/0. ________________________________________________________________________________ Editorial Keith Wilson [[email protected]] Only one article, previously published in AGRION, features odonates from the Arabian Peninsula. The article, titled, ‘Soqotra - The Island of Dragon’s Blood’ by Wolfgang Schneider, was published in 1999 (AGRION 3[2]: 27- 28). It describes a brief visit, made by Wolfgang and Henri Dumont to Yemen’s Socotra Island in 1996, where they collected 14 of the 18 species known from Socotra. In this issue of AGRION there is a distinct flavour of Al Jazirah (= Arabia) as there are three articles devoted to the region including one from Oman and two from Oman and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

    A POPULATION STUDY ON SMALL RODENTS IN THE TROPICAL RAIN FOREST OF NIGERIA By D. c. D. HAPPOLD * Department of Zoology, University of Ibadan, Nigeria. Ecological research on African rodents in the last few years concentrated on geographical distribution, species composition, feeding preferences and reproductive biology (Delany 1972). The emphasis on these tapies has been due to the relatively small amount of research on African rodents, the enormous variety of species, and the large size and ecological diversity of the African continent. Population studies have been almost entirely neglected, although there are some recent studies on population fluctuations, age structure of populations, and mechanisms for population regu­ lation. ln the arid zone, Poulet (1972) has described the population changes of Taterillus pygargus in Senegal, and Happold (1967) gave some data on the population structure of Jaculus jaculus at different times of the year in the Sudan. ln the savanna, Anadu (1973) followed the population fluctuations of Myomys daltoni and Mus musculoides in the derived savanna of Nigeria, and Neal (1970) showed how the populations of several species in Uganda changed during the course of the year in relation to annual fires. Bellier (1967) in the Ivory Coast, and Dieterlen (1967) in the highland grasslands of Kivu (Zaire) have given data on biomass and how this changes during the course of the year. The only study of rodent populations in moist evergreen forest known to me is that of Delany (1971) who related the population structure of several species in Mayanga forest Uganda (annual rainfall 1250 mm) to variations in the reproductive rate.
