The endemic wildfowl of Madagascar and the Mascarene Islands: an annotated bibliography 4th Edition, 2014 H. Glyn Young saving species from extinction Photo: Lance G Woolaver 01/10/2014 The endemic wildfowl of Madagascar and the Mascarene Islands: an annotated bibliography The endemic wildfowl of Madagascar and the Mascarene Islands: An annotated bibliography th 4 Edition The islands that comprise the Malagasy Faunal Region host ten extant, resident species of wildfowl Anatidae; all in Madagascar. A further five described and one undescribed species are extinct including all endemic species (four) from the Mascarene Islands. Madagascar today hosts the only surviving endemics: Madagascar White-backed Duck Thalassornis leuconotus insularis, Madagascar or Bernier’s Teal Anas bernieri, Meller’s Duck Anas melleri and Madagascar Pochard or White-eye Aythya innotata. Two sheldgeese endemic to Madagascar (Centrornis majori and Alopochen sirabensis), sheldgeese from Réunion (Alopochen (Mascarenachen) kervazoi) and Mauritius (Alopochen mauritiana), a small duck, possibly a grey teal, (Anas theodori) from Mauritius and Réunion and an undescribed Aythya have become extinct since human colonisation of these islands. Anas melleri has been introduced to Réunion and Mauritius and Northern Mallard Anas platyrhynchos to Mauritius, islands within the native faunal region of the former species. A small number of migrant and vagrant wildfowl have been recorded in the region with most records from Seychelles where no resident species are known. All surviving endemic ducks are currently threatened with extinction: A. innotata is Critical; A. bernieri, A. melleri and T. l. insularis are Endangered. Madagascar Pochard (from c.1920s-1940s and again since October 2009), Meller’s Duck and Madagascar Teal (one in 1920s and since 1993) are currently held in captivity. The endemic race of White-backed Duck is not currently held in captivity but has been in the past. In this bibliography I have attempted to include all references containing mention of the endemic wildfowl, with the exception of world bird lists. General works on the order Anseriformes and regional ornithologies have been included. News media notes of the rediscovery of A. innotata (1991 and 2006), capture of A. bernieri (1993), capture of A. innotata (2009) and first captive breeding of A. bernieri (1998) have also been omitted unless they included original data and/or photographs. General accounts on the species Thalassornis leuconotus have been omitted unless including details of the Madagascan race. Where subject matter is not obvious by the title the reference has been annotated, occasionally simply with the species included. Sources are given for references not checked by me. It is intended that this bibliography will be of use in study of the endemic wildfowl of the Malagasy Region and for those involved in conservation or captive management. I would be grateful for any information concerning references omitted and of any material published after October 2014. This bibliography will continue to be updated. 1 01/10/2014 The endemic wildfowl of Madagascar and the Mascarene Islands: an annotated bibliography Acknowledgements I am indebted to the late Janet Kear, Linda Birch (Alexander Library, EGI), Roger Buisson (MERG), Nigel Collar (BirdLife International), Frank Hawkins (IUCN), Olivier Langrand (Island Conservation), Richard Lewis (Durrell), Michael Putnam (University of Wisconsin), Roger Safford (BirdLife International), James Underwood (Durrell) and Lance Woolaver (Durrell) for advice and help in the collection of material.

    ‘A Man of Courage and Activity’: Thomas Tew and Pirate Settlements of the Indo - Atlantic Trade World, 1645 -1730 1 Kevin McDonald Department of History University of California, Santa Cruz “The sea is everything it is said to be: it provides unity, transport , the means of exchange and intercourse, if man is prepared to make an effort and pay a price.” – Fernand Braudel In the summer of 1694, Thomas Tew, an infamous Anglo -American pirate, was observed riding comfortably in the open coach of New York’s only six -horse carriage with Benjamin Fletcher, the colonel -governor of the colony. 2 Throughout the far -flung English empire, especially during the seventeenth century, associations between colonial administrators and pirates were de rig ueur, and in this regard , New York was similar to many of her sister colonies. In the developing Atlantic world, pirates were often commissioned as privateers and functioned both as a first line of defense against seaborne attack from imperial foes and as essential economic contributors in the oft -depressed colonies. In the latter half of the seventeenth century, moreover, colonial pirates and privateers became important transcultural brokers in the Indian Ocean region, spanning the globe to form an Indo-Atlantic trade network be tween North America and Madagascar. More than mere “pirates,” as they have traditionally been designated, these were early modern transcultural frontiersmen: in the process of shifting their theater of operations from the Caribbean to the rich trading grounds of the Indian Ocean world, 1 An earlier version of this paper was presented at the “Counter -Currents and Mainstreams in World History” conference at UCLA on December 6-7, 2003, organized by Richard von Glahn for the World History Workshop, a University of California Multi -Campus Research Unit.

Oromia is the largest National Regional State of Ethiopia. Here we present the first comprehensive checklist of its birds. A total of 804 bird species has been recorded, 601 of them confirmed (443) or assumed (158) to be breeding birds. At least 561 are all-year residents (and 31 more potentially so), at least 73 are Afrotropical migrants and visitors (and 44 more potentially so), and 184 are Palaearctic migrants and visitors (and eight more potentially so).
