“Bird Migration”. All Organisms Adapt to the World They Find Themselves in Or Die 2012 24th Sept. We start our winter programme with the subject of “Bird Migration”. All organisms adapt to the world they find themselves in or die. The ability of birds to fly has rendered them the dinosaurs that avoided extinction. This talk explores the huge variation in bird movements which fascinate and delight us each year. MARTYN STENNING is a congenital naturalist dedicated to understanding and helping to maintain biological diversity. He has worked at the University of Sussex since 1976 teaching, researching and facilitating the research within the School of Life Sciences. 1st Oct. Based upon five visits to New Zealand, usually in the company of expert local bird watchers and botanists, JOHN COLE has experienced a wide range of that country’s diverse habitats. His talk “The Natural History of New Zealand and the Chatham Islands” will range across North Island, South Island and Stewart Island and illustrate their present-day natural history, as well as noting species that have become extinct. Then he will take us to the Chatham Islands in the Pacific, a territory of New Zealand, 400 miles east of the mainland. The Chatham’s have many endemic species, some of which have survived by a hairsbreadth, and a thriving crayfish fishery. 8th Oct. HNHS member SU REED has a lifelong interest in natural history, especially entomology. In “Butterfly Isles” she will show some of her butterfly photographs taken in 2012 and describe her exploits in getting them. 15th Oct. In his talk “The Wildlife of Peru - from coast to Amazon” ANDY TUCKER takes us on a wildlife- laden voyage from the Pacific Coast to the Amazonian rainforest, ending at the Lost City of the Incas, Machu Picchu. En route we cover Humboldt Current seabirds, macaw clay clicks, oxbow lakes and cloud forest hummingbirds and tanagers. 22nd Oct. Sussex has one of the most historically important populations of peregrine falcons in the world, with detailed records dating back over 100 years. The Sussex Peregrine Study www.sussexperegrines.co.uk lecture “The History of Sussex Peregrines” presented by MIKE NICHOLLS and JON FRANKLIN will show the population trends of the Peregrine in Sussex from 1904 – 2011 including its unprecedented expansion into inland and urban sites. 29th Oct. HNHS member ROGER MASON is one of our regular speakers. His title this evening “Wildlife in House and Garden” takes a look at some of the things you might find, including some of the less obvious forms of wildlife and some of the familiar faces. 5th Nov. “Sussex Ponds” will look at the history and ecology of Sussex countryside ponds. It will include a look at the issues affecting the habitat quality of ponds today, and what can and is being done to improve a vitally important but sadly degraded habitat. Our speaker this evening is BEV WADGE who is Pond Survey Co-ordinator for the Sussex Biodiversity Record Centre (SxBRC) and Pond Officer for Sussex Amphibian and Reptile Group (SARG). She has many years’ experience in pond survey and management, and holds a Great Crested Newt licence. 12th Nov. HNHS member PHIL EVANS is a regular on our winter programme with his own brand of Audio- Visual HD Presentation. This popular format has been used over several years to show us some of Noreen and Phil’s countrywide travels. “Out and About No6” will show us what they saw in and around Gloucestershire and Northumberland. 19th Nov. Annual General Meeting followed by “What Makes a Great Day Out?” In the last winter programme we had several members tell us about their “Great Day Out” and the question was asked by a member if we could hear about what makes one. There will be at least three members telling us, all probably with a different slant. 26th Nov. Over the last 25 years JOHN HORNE has created a small nature reserve of some eight and a half acres, with 9 ponds and a small lake. He has 18 breeding species of dragonflies, a pair of barn owls, eight of the twelve species of reptiles and amphibians and probably the only site in the U.K. which has both species of glow worms, the common and lesser. It is the latter that are the subject of the lecture this evening “The Secret Life of the Common and Lesser Glow Worms”. It sounds unmissable. 3rd Dec. HNHS was asked to survey the wildlife at Amberley Working Museum, which was last done about 30 years ago. A team of members have conducted the survey during 2012 and this evening we will reveal what was found. As is usual with a presentation of this type there will be contributions from several members. 10th Dec. LINDA PITKIN started diving in 1979, and took her first shots underwater when her husband Brian handed her a camera a year later. Her passion for underwater photography, especially of wildlife, developed alongside her career as a biologist at The Natural History Museum in London, but she left there in 2005 to concentrate on photography. Linda is the author and photographer of four books and a number of articles, and her photography features widely in other books, newspapers, magazines, and exhibitions. She has had several of her own exhibitions, the most recent being at the London Zoo (ZSL) for four years until 2010, has won many awards in national and international competitions, and is in the Women Divers Hall of Fame. In 2008 she was honoured to participate in the nature photography project ‘Wild Wonders of Europe’ www.wild-wonders.com, and is currently one of 20 wildlife photographers working on ‘2020VISION’ www.2020v.org, the most ambitious nature photography project ever staged in the UK, showing the link between healthy nature and healthy people. “Wildlife underwater – through the eyes of an underwater photographer” sounds like an excellent way to finish 2012 and a glance at her website www.lindapitkin.net should convince you. 17th Dec. Christmas Party and “Tillin Cup & Coxon Plate Competitions”. See newsletter for details. 2013 7th Jan. “The Great Dragonfly Hunt” describes a national hunt in an attempt to see all the native species of dragonfly within one calendar year by JACOB EVERITT, Countryside Warden of Warnham LNR. It meant two trips to Scotland, one to the Peak District and several other long distance journeys in the trail of the next dragonfly species. From Azure Hawkers on the Scottish Lochs to Brilliant Emeralds in Horsham this talk will inspire all to go on their own Dragon Hunt. But did Jacob achieve his aim? Come along to this first lecture of 2013 to find out. 14th Jan. Roger Patterson has recently made two trips to Austria’s Ziller Valley, in May 2009 and June 2012, the latter with Jacky Jeffery. Many of the flowers photographed on the 2009 trip proved difficult to identify so advice was sought from ARTHUR HOARE. He will describe the wild flowers from both trips and give hints on taking photographs to aid identification. Roger (and possibly Jacky) will talk about the local area and other wildlife seen in “Austria’s Ziller Valley”. 21st Jan. JONATHON HUET last visited HNHS in 2006. This evening’s talk “Ancient Woodlands” will explore the history of our woodlands using poetry and natural props to bring the presentation alive. Jonathon has been lecturing for over 15 years and has an infectious enthusiasm for his subject. Walk with Trees www.walkwithtrees.co.uk, the full-time initiative Jonathon runs promotes the importance of woodlands through lecturing, guided walks, camp crafts and storytelling. 28th Jan. “Kruger National Park & Drakensburg Mountains, South Africa” is this evenings title describing a journey from the Drakensburg Mountains via the Wakerstroom Wetlands to the famous Kruger National Park and then back via the Blyde River Canyon. HNHS member JOHN HAMILTON is the speaker with his usual popular mix of birds, mammals, some flowers and scenery. 4th Feb. Our Sussex hedges largely emanate from woodland assarting with little history of Parliamentary Enclosure. In "Sussex Hedges-Their Past, Present and Future" PETER CHALLIS on his first visit to HNHS will talk about the research he has been doing for the last ten years as an unpaid volunteer at Sussex Biodiversity Record Centre. He has been working solely on Sussex hedgerow research and data gathering with support from SWT, WSCC, ESCC, South Downs National Park, etc. - recording data on Sussex hedges, species content, management regimes etc and predictions that may be made as a result. 11th Feb. JACQUI and BRUCE MIDDLETON will begin their talk "An Introduction to Lichens” with the folklore, history and uses of lichens. They will show how to identify one lichen from another, then have a question and answer session, followed by a short session where we can look at some real examples. 18th Feb. “The Two Roger’s” are now a permanent fixture and as always their subject is the previous summer’s plant course that was organized by ROGER MASON and the plants will be described by him. The subject for the 2012 course was “Plants of Water and Water-side” and takes in a wide variety of habitats from pond to seashore. The plant course covering six venues is one of the highlights of the summer programme and always produces many interesting things, not only plants. ROGER PATTERSON has put the presentation together from the hundreds of images taken by several attendees, and will chip in with a few anecdotes and the usual helping of banter. 25th Feb. The MEMBERS EVENING is the opportunity for those who would like to share with members some aspect of their own interest or natural history experience.

The cestodes were evaluated morphologically and molecularly. A fragment of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 gene (cox1) was used as a genetic marker. All the cestodes were identified as Taenia omissa. In the present report, we give a brief description by molecular and morphological diagnosis of the cestodes and compare nucleotide sequences with previous isolates from GenBank. Upon comparison, the sequences showed a difference in thecox1 gene of 5.1 to 5.3% with other teniids sequences. This finding constitutes the first report of T.

    Annual Report 2013 © Proyecto Mono Tocón First published 2014 Jr. Reyes Guerra, 430 Moyobamba, Perú Text by Jan Vermeer Design and composition by Jan Vermeer and Antonio Bóveda Photography by Proyecto Mono Tocón All rights reserved. Information from this publication may be reproduced, but preferably with the prior permission of the Proyecto Mono Tocón association. he year 2013 has again been a year with much expansion of the activities of Proyecto Mono Tocón. Despite all efforts by local communities, authorities and non-governmental organisations, the T situation of the San Martin titi monkey (Callicebus oenanthe) is critical. There is an ever increasing human pressure on its habitat and little of its forest remains. We are supporting several local communities with the conservation of their forest, home of the San Martin titi monkey. But the question that keeps us occupied is if this is enough to safe the species from extinction. Without more political involvement, it will be very difficult to create safe havens for viable populations of titi monkeys. The Regional Government of San Martin will have to review their intentions for the territory and decide if it would not be better to change the designation of many thousands of hectares of production forest into in conservation areas. Our conservation work concentrates on the Central Huallaga area, as this is the region where we still can find the titi monkey’s habitat and maybe even more important, local communities that want to protect their forest. To better understand the needs of the titi monkeys, we have started in 2013 several long term research programmes, focussing on titi monkey densities in different types of forest and on behaviour.

[email protected] 4*UniversitySan Luis Gonzaga de Ica, Ica-Perú[email protected] ABSTRACT The purpose of this research is to analyze the biodiversity of the river Chancay watershed using the Geo cities methodology, in particular it introduces a different strategy to evaluate the biodiversity of a city by adapting the Geo cities methodology to a more extensive scope. The study found that floristic biodiversity in the River Chancay-Lambayeque watershed corresponds to a total of 113 species, comprised in 104 genera and 53 families. Of which 5 tree species, 2 shrubs and 1 herbaceous are threatened. Regarding wildlife, 37 species have been registered, of which 6 are threatened. The study shows that the GEO methodology for diagnosing threatened species in urban areas could be used in non-urban areas. By other hand, eight species of flora and six of threatened fauna were found in the Chancay - Lambayeque Valley. KEYWORDS: Biological diversity, Biodiversity, GEO methodology, threatened species, species categorization, inventory. INTRODUCTION The Convention on Biological Diversity (UN, 1992) states that biodiversity term includes the variability of living organisms from any source and that must be included the ecosystems, interspecific and intraspecific variability.
