Aedes vexans, one of the most widespread and abundant mosquito species in Germany, is a demonstrated or putative vector of numerous pathogens of humans and animals. To document its spatial and temporal occurrence, we compiled a comprehensive dataset based on both passive and active mosquito monitoring. The dataset comprises 6421 occurrence records collected between 2011 and 2023. They document the presence of 225565 individual mosquitoes from 2784 distinct locations. Of the total occurrences, 2963 originate from citizen science contributions, while the remainder stem from active monitoring. Passive monitoring was conducted through the citizen science project “Mückenatlas”, in which volunteers collected and submitted mosquito specimens from across Germany. All citizen-collected specimens were subsequently identified by professional entomologists. Active monitoring was carried out by experts using a wide range of standardized entomological methods, including trapping, aspirating and netting adults as well as sampling larvae and pupae by dipping and sieving. The dataset, or subsets thereof, has already been used in scientific publications.

Camera-trap records of Japanese Red Foxes, Vulpes vulpes japonica Gray, 1868 (Carnivora, Canidae), in urban green spaces of Kyoto City - Version 1.2

koyama.lina.2w@kyoto-u.ac.jp (Lina Koyama) — Sat, 30 May 2026 08:46:06 +0000

The urban ecology of Red Fox remains poorly documented in Japan, except northern island Hokkaido. We conducted a camera-trap survey in an urban green space in Kyoto, and detected the Japanese Red Fox 14 times all occurring from October to January. These findings indicate that small, isolated green spaces—previously not considered to be wildlife habitats—form part of the seasonal home range of the Japanese red fox; they also suggest the need for more extensive research into urban wildlife that takes into account the structural and historical characteristics of Japanese cities.

The "Parque Estadual da Serra da Concórdia" houses 231 vascular plant species, of which 90% are angiosperms, 10% ferns and lycophytes, and 27% endemic to the Atlantic Forest. Ten species are threatened with extinction, three are categorized as Endangered, and seven as Vulnerable. Although there have been expeditions in the "Parque Estadual da Serra da Concórdia", they have been limited, resulting in a low number of records and the species richness for a protected area. This is notable considering the 2,130 Brazilian native vascular plant species recorded in the semideciduous seasonal forest of Rio de Janeiro. Our data indicates that floristic inventories of Brazilian protected areas could help highlight gaps in flora knowledge and support the proposal of effective conservation actions.

chornobyl_2023 - Version 1.0

apantova@ukr.net (Hanna Honchar) — Mon, 09 Oct 2023 13:44:49 +0000

The Chornobyl Radiation and Ecological Biosphere Reserve is a unique location, which is an area of posttechnogenic habitat restoration, including the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone, where comprehensive surveys of insect diversity have not yet been conducted. The communities of bees, sand wasps, and crabronids represent different functional groups in ecosystems (pollinators, predators, and kleptoparasites), so their taxonomic diversity provides a more complete conception of biodiversity in general. Our research was carried out in May and August 2020- 2021. We identified 159 species from 12 families. For each insect species, information is provided on the diet, nesting, lifestyle, and conservation status of bees according to the European Red List of Bees and the Ukrainian Red Book. Most of the bee species on the European Red List of Bees belong to the category 'Least Concern', but also registered rare species from the category 'Data Deficient' - 8 species, 'Near Threatened' - 5 species, 'Endangered' - 4 species (Colletes nasutus, Melitta melanura, Dasypoda braccata, Trachusa interrupta), 'Vulnerable' - 2 species (Colletes fodiens, Halictus leucaheneus). There have also been some interesting finds among the wasps, e.g. Arachnospila alvarabnormis, this species of spider wasps (Pompilidae) registered for the first time in the fauna of Ukraine. Data on the taxonomic diversity of bees and wasps are given for the Reserve for the first time, and although they are preliminary, we demonstrate considerable scientific potential for studying multicomponent communities in areas recovering from man-made disasters. Keywords: Chornobyl exclusion zone, digger wasp, spider wasps, taxonomic diversity, wild bees. Introduction In the Anthropocene, biodiversity loss due to increased habitat transformation remains an increasingly obvious challenge for the scientific community. Reserves, in turn, are designed to protect diversity; they have unique conditions that allow the conservation of native species and their habitats. The Chornobyl Radiation and Ecological Biosphere Reserve (ChREBR) is a unique place that represents the gradual restoration of ecosystems after a technogenic disaster and the cessation of human activity. The reserve was established on 26 April 2016 with the purpose of preserving the typical natural complexes of Polissya, supporting and increasing the barrier function of the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone and the unconditional (mandatory) resettlement zone, rehabilitation of areas contaminated with radionuclides, assistance in organising and conducting international scientific research (Decree, No. 174/2016). It is necessary to recall that the Chornobyl accident in 1986 resulted in the release of large amounts of radioactive materials and the significant contamination of approximately 200000 square kilometres of land (Yablokov et al. 2010). Investigating communities of different species, and in particular the assessment of taxonomic diversity, helps to understand ecosystem restoration processes. The selected insects represent different functional groups and occupy different ecological niches. Bees, as pollinators of flowering plants, depend on their diversity and also on the availability of nesting sites. Therefore, bee diversity is an indirect indicator of flowering plant diversity. The current state of bee populations is a matter of concern, as their diversity is now declining worldwide. Therefore, according to Nieto et al. (2014) and Rasmont et al. (2017), 77 species of wild bees in Europe are at high risk of extinction, while there are insufficient data to estimate the populations of another 1101 species (56.7 % of species in Europe). Wasps are both predators and situational pollinators. For instance, Pompilidae wasps are known for their dietary preferences - certain groups of spiders, so in the context of habitat - Pompilidae are indicators of the diversity of their prey - spiders. Crabronid wasps are also predators, which also sheds light on the wider diversity of prey species associated with crabronids. Many insects studies have been carried out on the territory of the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone; the beginning of these studies dates back to the year of the accident – 1986 (Stovbchatyy and Rodionova 2011). Some studies on insects have recently been carried out: Møller & Mousseau (2006, 2009), Møller et al. (2012), Mousseau & Møller (2012), Bezrukov et al. (2015), Drozda (2017), Raines et al. (2020) and others. To a greater extent, these works are devoted to studying the effects of radiation at different times of exposure at the genetic and physiological levels. Fewer studies have been devoted to the assessment of insect diversity. These include the notable work of Møller et al. (2013), who concluded that the diversity of insects in the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone depends on the level of radiation, and in this and other work, Raines et al. (2020), the authors report finding 13 species of bumblebees. However, at present, there are no papers showing the current state of taxonomic diversity of Hymenoptera in the Chornobyl exclusion zone. There are not many studies showing ecosystem recovery after man-made disasters, but there are studies in Fukushima, (Yoshioka et al. 2015). The authors showed that in the evacuation zone, the number of the largest bees Xylocopa appendiculata Smith, 1852 decreased, while the number of small bees decreased slightly. It is likely that the difference in number and diversity of insects may depend on the time since the accident and, of course, after human activity has ceased. The aim of our study is to describe the taxonomic diversity of the ChREBR hymenopterans, as there is no comprehensive information on the species composition and distribution of these insects in the reserve. In this paper, we do not relate insect diversity to the level of radiation contamination. Note that our research does not cover the entire period of flight activity of the insects studied, and was stopped due to military events in 2022, so we give a preliminary taxonomic diversity, which will be updated when it becomes possible to resume research in the area.

Geographic distibution of the rock-dwelling door-snail genus Montenegrina Boettger, 1877 (Mollusca, Gastropoda, Clausiliidae) - Version 1.7

feher@nhmus.hu (Zoltan Feher) — Tue, 31 Aug 2021 11:54:39 +0000

Montenegrina is an obligate rock-dwelling door-snail genus, associated with habitats of limestone outcrops. The geographic range of Montenegrina includes the coastal regions of Montenegro south of the Bay of Kotor, Albania, western Macedonia, and northwestern Greece. In geographical terms it extends from the southernmost parts of the Dinaric Mountains to the northern part of the Pindos Mountains, and is separated from the eastern Balkans (Moesia) by the Vardar Basin and the Kosovo Plain. Biogeographically this area can be classified as part of the South Adriatic–Ionian province. The present classification of Montenegrina distinguishes 29 species and 106 subspecies, making it the second most speciose alopiinid genus. This dataset contains known Montenegrina populations that are (or can be) georeferenced in a reliable way. Reference specimens/lots of this distribution dataset are found in the following public collections: Hungarian Natural History Museum, Budapest (HNHM), Munkácsy Mihály Museum, Békéscsaba (MMM), Natural History Museum, Vienna (NHMW), Natural History Museum Bern (NMBE), Naturmuseum Senckenberg, Frankfurt am Main (SMF), Stuttgart State Museum of Natural History, Stuttgart (SMNS), Zoological Museum, Hamburg (ZMH).

Liphyra brassolis occurence in oil palm plantations in Indonesia - Version 1.1

adadvento@gmail.com (Andreas Advento) — Wed, 08 Jun 2022 08:38:46 +0000

Asian weaver ants (Oecophylla smaragdina)are an important biocontrol agent in agricultural habitats. We conducted surveys in oil palm plantations in Riau, Indonesia for an obligate myrmecophilous butterfly larvae, Liphyra brassolis (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae), that is known to consume weaver ant larvae in other habitat types. We found L. brassolis larvae in five of the twenty nests surveyed, with larval presence not being related to weaver ant nest size. We also observed L. brassolis larvae in a weaver ant mass rearing facility. This is the first report of L. brassolis from oil palm plantations, and may have implications for the use of weaver ants as biological control agents.

Updating the list of flower-visiting bees, hoverflies and wasps in the central atolls of Maldives, with notes on land-use effects - Version 1.3

paolo.biella@unimib.it (Paolo Biella) — Thu, 12 May 2022 14:33:26 +0000

Maldives islands host a unique biodiversity, but their integrity is threatened by climate change and impacting land-uses (e.g. cemented or agricultural areas). As pollinators provide key services for the ecosystems and for the inhabitants, it is crucial to know which pollinators occur in the islands, to characterize their genetic identity, and to understand which plants they visit and the size of the human impact. Given that no significant faunistic surveys of Hymenoptera were published for the country in more than 100 years and that Syrphidae were only partly investigated, we sampled islands in the central part of the Maldives country (Faafu and Daahlu atolls) and hand-netted flower-visiting bees, wasps and hoverflies (Hymenoptera: Anthophila, Crabronidae, Sphecidae, Vespidae, Scoliidae, and Diptera: Syrphidae). Overall, we found 21 species; 76.4% of the collected specimens were Anthophila (bees), 12.7% belonged to several families of wasps and 10.8% of individuals were Syrphidae. It seems that one third of species are new for the Maldives, based on the published literature. Human land-uses seem to shape the local pollinator fauna since the assemblages of bees, wasps and hoverflies from urbanized and agricultural islands differed from those in resort and natural ones. These pollinators visited 30 plant species in total, but some invasive plants hosted the highest number of flower visitor species. Biogeographically, this pollinating fauna is mostly shared with Sri Lanka and India. Genetically, the used marker hinted for a unique fauna in relation to the rest of the distribution ranges in most cases, although generally within the level of intraspecific genetic variation. This study significantly contributes to increasing the knowledge on the pollinator diversity and genetic identity in Maldives islands also considering the important implications for the islands land-use and the role of invasive plants. This study will be pivotal for future pollination studies and biodiversity conservation efforts in the region.

New record of jaguar, Panthera onca (Linnaeus, 1758) (Mammalia, Felidae), from an urban park - Version 1.2

Aggregated occurrence records of invasive European frog-bit (Hydrocharis morsus-ranae L.) across North America - Version 1.3

hanse2s@cmich.edu (Sara Hansen) — Thu, 27 Jan 2022 07:59:30 +0000

European frog-bit (Hydrocharis morsus-ranae L.) is an invasive aquatic plant of growing concern in the Laurentian Great Lakes region. This species has the potential to continue to spread throughout North America and may threaten coastal and inland ecosystems and native species. Central to management of European frog-bit is an understanding of the historic and current distribution, which can inform efforts to predict future spread and establishment, determine habitat suitability and the factors that drive invasion, and identify high-priority areas for targeted monitoring and management. We created an aggregated dataset of European frog-bit occurrence records from 1932 to 2021 across the invasive range of North America. A total of 23,985 records were initially obtained from eight observation-based data providers and forty specimen-based data providers. Two datasets were mobilized for this project, including 2,874 records from a targeted university research effort and 150 unpublished specimens from Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada National Collection of Vascular Plants. After data cleaning, standardization, and validation, this dataset contains 12,037 unique presence and absence records spanning thirteen U.S. states and two Canadian provinces.

A dataset of bird inventory records at Cloudbridge Nature Reserve, Talamanca Mountains, Costa Rica, between March 2016 and May 2020. - Version 1.4

jennifer.powell@mail.utoronto.ca (Jennifer Powell) — Thu, 27 Jan 2022 07:40:00 +0000

A compilation of bird inventory occurrence data collected at Cloudbridge Nature Reserve on the Pacific slope of the Talamanca Mountains in Costa Rica. The reserve is largely former pasture and farm land composed of tropical montane cloud forest of several ages of secondary forest with some primary forest patches. Data only includes records of species that were confirmed with photographic proof of presence in the reserve. Includes data from several different types of surveys or records including: point count, walking, call-playback (nocturnal owl surveys), camera trap, and incidental photographs.

AnthWest, occurrence records for wool carder bees of the genus Anthidium (Hymenoptera: Megachilidae, Anthidiini) in the Western Hemisphere - Version 7.0

journals@pensoft.net (Pensoft Journals) — Fri, 09 May 2014 14:32:15 +0000

This paper describes AnthWest, a large dataset that represents one of the outcomes of a comprehensive, broadly comparative study on the diversity, biology, biogeography, and evolution of Anthidium Fabricius in the Western Hemisphere. In this dataset a total of 22,648 adult occurrence records comprising 9657 unique events are documented for 92 species of Anthidium, including the invasive range of two introduced species from Eurasia, A. oblongatum (Illiger) and A. manicatum (Linnaeus). The geospatial coverage of the dataset extends from northern Canada and Alaska to southern Argentina, and from below sea level in Death Valley, California, USA, to 4700 m a.s.l. in Tucumán, Argentina. The majority of records in the dataset correspond to information recorded from individual specimens examined by the authors during this project and deposited in 61 biodiversity collections located in Africa, Europe, North and South America. A fraction (4.8%) of the occurrence records were taken from the literature, largely California records from a taxonomic treatment with some additional records for the two introduced species. The temporal scale of the dataset represents collection events recorded between 1886 and 2012. The dataset was developed employing SQL server 2008 r2. For each specimen, the following information is generally provided: scientific name including identification qualifier when species status is uncertain (e.g. “Questionable Determination” for 0.4% of the specimens), sex, temporal and geospatial details, coordinates, data collector, host plants, associated organisms, name of identifier, historic identification, historic identifier, taxonomic value (i.e., type specimen, voucher, etc.), and repository. For a small portion of the database records, bees associated with threatened or endangered plants (~ 0.08% of total records) as well as specimens collected as part of unpublished biological inventories (~17%), georeferencing is presented only to nearest degree and the information on floral host, locality, elevation, month, and day has been withheld. This database is being constantly updated and can potentially be used in species distribution and niche modeling studies, as well as in assessments of pollinator status and pollination services. For native pollinators, this large dataset of occurrence records is the first to be simultaneously developed during a species-level systematic study.

European occurrence records of the Robinia herbivores Parectopa robiniella, Macrosaccus robiniella and Obolodiplosis robiniella compiled from literature records and personal observations - Version 1.0

mally@fld.czu.cz (Richard Mally) — Wed, 06 Oct 2021 09:43:25 +0000

The dataset represents occurrence data from Europe on three insect herbivores of the black locust, Robinia pseudoacacia. The three herbivores are the two leafminers Parectopa robiniella and Macrosaccus robiniella (both Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae), and the gall midge Obolodiplosis robiniae (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae). The dataset was compiled from literature reporting on first occurrences of the three herbivores in Europe on a country or regional level. The respective reporting literature is mapped to the Darwin Core term "identificationReferences". The Polish records for the two leafminer species are personal observations of Jaroslaw Buszko.

A Dataset of Deep-Sea Fishes Surveyed by Research Vessels in the Waters around Taiwan - Version 1.5

zoskt@gate.sinica.edu.tw (Kwang-tsao Shao) — Tue, 21 Sep 2021 15:20:08 +0000

The study of deep-sea fish fauna, due to the difficulty and high cost incurred in its surveys and collections, is hampered by the lack of data. Taiwan is situated along the edge of the Eurasia plate, and is at the junction of three Large Marine Ecosystems or Ecoregions of the East China Sea, South China Sea and the Philippines. Since nearly two-thirds of Taiwan’s surrounding marine ecosystems are deep-sea environment, it is expected to hold a rich diversity of deep-sea fish. In the past, no research vessels had been employed to collect fish data on site. There were only specimens from Dasi and Donggang fishing harbors caught by bottom trawl fishing in the water hundreds of meters deep and missing precise locality information. Began in 2001, with the support of National Science Council, research vessels were made available to take on the task of systematically collecting deep-sea fish specimens and occurrence records in the waters surrounding Taiwan. By the end of 2006, a total of 3,653 specimens, belonging to 26 orders, 88 families, 198 genera and 366 species, were collected in addition to data such as sampling site geographical coordinates, water depth, and fish body length and weight. All the information are open and accessible from the “Database of Taiwan’s Deep-Sea Fauna and Its Distribution (http://deepsea.biodiv.tw/)” as part of the “Fish Database of Taiwan.” It should be beneficial to the study of the temporal and spatial changes of the distribution and abundance of fish fauna in the context of global deep-sea biodiversity.

sightingrecords_someamphibianspecies_pakistan - Version 1.1

sahil@uaar.edu.pk (Muhammad Rais) — Tue, 07 Sep 2021 11:45:58 +0000

The research on amphibians and their conservation efforts have gained worldwide attention, since the group includes the highest number of threatened and data deficient species when compared with other vertebrates. However, amphibians have long been neglected in wildlife conservation, management decisions, policy making and research agendas in Pakistan. In this paper, the annotated checklist of the 21 amphibian species of Pakistan, the key to their identification, and detailed discussions on the occurrence of variation in species including the genera Minervarya, and Sphaerotheca are provided. We found statistically significant difference in the morphometric measurements of males but non-significant difference in the females of the two forms (rusty dorsum and dotted dorsum) of S. maskeyi. Some genera, such as Microhyla, Uperodon, Minervarya, Allopaa, Chrysopaa, Euphlyctis, Nanorana and Sphaerotheca that are found in Pakistan need additional data to compare molecular taxonomy and detailed comparisons with those found in other South Asian countries. Predicaments in amphibian research in Pakistan are discussed, gaps identified, and suggestions have been made. Although the likelihood of occurrence of chytrid fungus in Pakistan is predicted to be low, the data deficiency merits studying the prevalence of the fungus, particularly in the northern regions of the country which exhibit complex and dynamic ecosystems. It is recommended to conduct systematic and coordinated surveys throughout the country to build a data base on species occurrence and distribution. Additionally, monitoring of wild populations, threat mitigation, and appropriate legislation are suggested as long term measures. By adopting an inclusive wildlife conservation approach in Pakistan, amphibians could be integrated into wildlife conservation and management efforts.

cobra_finland_hankoniemi - Version 1.4

pedro.cardoso@helsinki.fi (Pedro Cardoso) — Tue, 31 Aug 2021 11:54:57 +0000

During a field course on spider taxonomy and ecology at the University of Helsinki we had the opportunity to sample four plots with a dual objective of both teaching on field methods, spider identification and behaviour, and uncovering the spider diversity patterns found in the southern coastal forests of Hankoniemi. As an ultimate goal, this field course intended to contribute to a global project that intends to uncover spider diversity patterns worldwide (see http://biodiversityresearch.org/research/biogeography/). With that purpose, we followed a set of standardized methods and procedures that allow the comparability of obtained data with numerous other samples being conducted across all continents. By doing so we guarantee that this data will be reused for multiple future projects currently being implemented.

Annotated list of beetles (Insecta, Coleoptera) in an urban area of the Eastern Andes of Colombia - Version 1.0

martinezd.camilo@gmail.com (David Camilo Martínez Dueñas) — Tue, 24 Nov 2020 13:24:34 +0000

We present the first list of beetle species from an urban area in the northeast Andes of Colombia, based on a review of specimens deposited in the insect collection of the "Luis Gonzalo Andrade" Natural History Museum of the Universidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombia (UPTC) and from sporadic collections from various points around the city of Tunja, Boyacá. We recorded 34 species, 30 genera, 17 subfamilies, and 12 families of beetles. Of these, 10 new records for the department of Boyacá and two new species records for Colombia are reported. In addition, the type of urban habitat in which the individuals of 24 species collected is described : 11 species in gray areas (roads, sidewalks, houses, buildings) and 8 in green areas (parks, pastures, plantations). Our results form a baseline for further studies on biodiversity in urban ecosystems in the eastern Andes of Colombia.

Four new species Paranastatus Masi (Eupelmidae, Eupelminae) - Version 1.2

Paranastatus Masi, 1917 (Eupelmidae, Eupelminae) was originally described based on two species from Seychelles: P. egregius and P. violaceus. Eady (1956) subsequently described P. nigriscutellatus and P. verticalis from Fiji. More recent collections from the South Pacific revealed new specimens of Paranastatus, including what appeared to be undescribed species. Four new species of Paranastatus were described: P. bellus Scallion, sp. n. and P. pilosus Scallion, sp. n. from Indonesia, and P. halko Scallion, sp. n. and P. parkeri Scallion, sp. n. from Fiji.

Fish fauna from the Langueyú basin, Argentina: a prairie stream in a heavily modified landscape - Version 1.2

bertorandrea@gmail.com (Andrea Bertora) — Tue, 31 Aug 2021 11:54:05 +0000

On the Pampa plain, one of the most productive modified areas of Argentina, important changes in land uses have drastically altered the landscape during the last decades. This has led to an increased deterioration of surface waters affecting fish that inhabit them. We provide a list of fish species inhabiting an unsurveyed prairie stream of this region. Environmental variables were measured and fish samplings were conducted in 3 sites of the Langueyú stream. A total of 15 species belonging to 10 families and 6 orders were collected. Characiformes and Siluriformes were the richest orders. Characidae was the most representative family. Species richness was highest when compared with other similar regional environments without connection with the Salado river basin. Most of the fish species collected are typical of the region but others are species which typically do not progress beyond the Salado river basin. The role of human intervention in fish species distribution is discussed.

An Upgrade Pinning Block: A Mechanical Practical Aid for Fast Labelling of the Insect Specimens - Version 1.2

msc.ghafouri@gmail.com (Mostafa Ghafouri Moghaddam) — Tue, 31 Aug 2021 11:54:04 +0000

A new mechanical innovation is described to deal with standard labelling of dried specimens on triangular cards and/or pinned specimens in personal and public collections. It works quickly, precisely, and easily and is very useful for maintaining label uniformity in collections. The tools accurately sets the position of labels in the shortest possible time. This tools has advantages including rapid processing, cost effectiveness, light weight, and high accuracy, compared to conventional methods. It is fully customisable, compact, and does not require specialist equipment to assemble. Conventional methods generally require locating holes on the pinning block surface when labelling with a resulting risk to damage of the specimens. Insects of different orders can be labelled by this simple and effective tool.

During the "Advanced course in identification of species: Spider taxonomy and ecology" of the Ecology & Evolutionary Biology Master´s program at the Faculty of Biological and Environmental Sciences, University of Helsinki, the authors were teaching and learning spider identification, taxonomy, behaviour and sampling. The authors of this paper sampled four plots in mountain birch forest in Kilpisjärvi (Fig. 1). The plots sampled in this area are so far the northernmost and only plots sampled from the hemiarctic zone in a global spider diversity project (see http://biodiversityresearch.org/research/biogeography/). To produce high-quality data comparable to other sampling conducted under the global project, sampling was performed following the standardized COBRA – Conservation Oriented Biodiversity Rapid Assesment – protocol (Cardoso 2009). By following the protocol, it is ensured that this data can be re-used in multiple ways.

earfbenin - Version 1.0

quenh77@gmail.com (Alfred Houngnon) — Tue, 31 Aug 2021 11:54:04 +0000

Location earfbenin (Ewe-Adaklpame Relic Forest in Benin) covers 560.14 hectares in the Kétou District at the south-east of Benin Republic; latitude 07°27'59.195" N, longitude 002°34'29.395". The Relic Forest (EARF) is a micro-refugium that shows insular characteristics within the Dahomey Gap. It is probably one of the last remnants of tropical rain forest that would have survived the late Holocene dry period. Here we provide a comprehensive list of vascular plants of EARF, based on intensive field investigations through 25 plots (10 m × 50 m size) and matching of herbarium specimens, a checklist of 185 species of vascular plant belonging to 54 families and 142 genera is presented for this forest.Physical conditions The forest relic is located at the north-east of the depression of "Co" or "Lama" on the plateaus of low altitude that evolved on the pre-Cambrian base rocks (Adjanohoun et al. 1989). The mean annual rainfall in the EARF is between 900–1300 mm (Adjanohoun et al. 1989; CARDER 2002; Adomou et al. 2006) which contrasts to other similar African dense semi-deciduous forests. The rainfall recorded in Upper Guinea is between 1750–1900 mm (Martin 2008) in Côte d'Ivoire (West Africa) and annual rainfall measured around the Kakamega rain forest in East Africa was approximately 2215 mm (Cords 1987) and 1956 mm (Greiner 1991). The landscape surrounding EARF is dominated by fallows, cultivation areas and housing. The vegetation is a mosaic of savanna. The total population of the villages of Ewe and Adakplame is 13,623 individuals with 2,078 households (INSAE 2016). The main activity is agriculture followed by hunting, livestock breeding and local commerce.

USBombus, contemporary survey data of North American bumble bees (Hymenoptera, Apidae, Bombus) distributed in the United States - Version 2.11

hikerd@gmail.com (Harold Ikerd) — Tue, 31 Aug 2021 11:54:13 +0000

This paper describes USBombus, a large dataset that represents the outcomes of the largest standardized survey of bee pollinators (Hymenoptera, Apidae, Bombus) on the planet. The motivation to collect live bumble bees across the US was to document the decline and conservation status of Bombus affinis, B. occidentalis, B. pensylvanicus, and B. terricola. The results of study have been published Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences as “Patterns of widespread decline in North American bumble bees” by Cameron et al. (2011). In this dataset we have documented a total of 17,796 adult occurrence records across 391 locations and 38 species of Bombus. The geospatial coverage of the dataset extends across 41 of the 50 US states and from 0 to 3500 m a.s.l. The temporal scale of the dataset represents systematic surveys that took place from 2007 to 2010. The dataset was developed using SQL server 2008 r2. For a each specimen, the following information is generally provided: species name, sex, caste, temporal and geospatial details, Cartesian coordinates, data collector(s), and when available, host plants. This database has already proven useful for a variety of studies on bumble bee ecology and conservation. Considering the value of pollinators in agriculture and wild ecosystems, this large systematic collection of bumble bee occurrence records will likely prove useful in investigations into the effects of anthropogenic activities on pollinator community composition and conservation status.

New records of lichens in Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta - Version 1.2

kramirezroncallo@gmail.com (Kevin Ramírez-Roncallo) — Tue, 31 Aug 2021 11:54:04 +0000

The lichen diversity of the Caribbean region of Colombia is one of the least known in the county. In the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta (SNSM), whose forests are at risk of disappearing due to deforestation, 114 species of lichens have been recorded. We collected lichens at elevations from 500 to 2500 m on the northwestern slopes of the SNSM, and we report six genera and 19 species from this region for the first time. Our results highlight the importance of exploring new areas to enhance our knowledge of the lichens of SNSM and Colombia.

Invasive alien plants in Sergipe, north-eastern Brazil - Version 1.6

daniel.olire@gmail.com (Daniel Oliveira) — Tue, 31 Aug 2021 11:54:12 +0000

Biological invasions are considered one of the greatest threats to global biodiversity. In addition, they cause substantial economic impacts. However, studies about the subject in Brazil are still scarce. The aim of the present study was to prepare an inventory of non-native flora with invasive potential from Sergipe, Brazil. The inventory was carried out along the entire length of the sites. The species with potential invaders were grouped according to the biome/ecosystem and classified according to their habit and origin. Eighty-three species with invasive potential were sampled, 43 in the Caatinga, 73 in the Atlantic Forest, 36 in Sandbank and 22 in Mangrove. From these species, 17 were inventoried in all the biomes/ecosystems and 36 were observed in only one of them, six in the Caatinga, 27 in the Atlantic Forest and three in Sandbank. The number of potentially-invasive species sampled in Sergipe is alarming. The present study showed nearly twice the species listed by other authors for the entire northeast Brazil. This high number of taxa may be a consequence of facilitating the transfer of these species and the conservation conditions of the ecosystems studied in Sergipe. Another very worrying factor is that many of the species sampled are extremely aggressive and cause a series of impacts.

CracidMex1: a comprehensive database of global occurrences of cracids (Aves, Galliformes) with distribution in Mexico - Version 8.0

gepinillab@gmail.com (Gonzalo Buitrago) — Mon, 12 May 2014 06:59:29 +0000

Cracids are among the most vulnerable groups of Neotropical birds. Almost half of the species of this family are included in a conservation risk category. Twelve taxa occur in Mexico, six of which are considered at risk at national level and two are globally endangered. Therefore, it is imperative that high quality, comprehensive, and high-resolution spatial data on the occurrence of these taxa are made available as a valuable tool in the process of defining appropriate management strategies for conservation at a local and global level. We constructed the CracidMex1 database by collating global records of all cracid taxa that occur in Mexico from available electronic databases, museum specimens, publications, “grey literature”, and unpublished records. We generated a database with 23,896 clean, validated, and standardized geographic records. Database quality control was an iterative process that commenced with the consolidation and elimination of duplicate records, followed by the geo-referencing of records when necessary, and their taxonomic and geographic validation using GIS tools and expert knowledge. We followed the geo-referencing protocol proposed by the Mexican National Commission for the Use and Conservation of Biodiversity. We could not estimate the geographic coordinates of 981 records due to inconsistencies or lack of sufficient information in the description of the locality. Given that current records for most of the taxa have some degree of distributional bias, with redundancies at different spatial scales, the CracidMex1 database has allowed us to detect areas where more sampling effort is required to have a better representation of the global spatial occurrence of these cracids. We also found that particular attention needs to be given to taxa identification in those areas where congeners or conspecifics co-occur in order to avoid taxonomic uncertainty. The construction of the CracidMex1 database represents the first comprehensive research effort to compile current, available global geographic records for a group of cracids. The database can now be improved by continuous revision and addition of new records. The CracidMex1 database will provide high quality input data that could be used to generate species distribution models, to assess temporal changes in species distributions, to identify priority areas for research and conservation, and in the definition of management strategies for this bird group. This compilation exercise could be replicated for other cracid groups or regions to attain a better knowledge of the global occurrences of the species in this vulnerable bird family.

Two new species of Brueelia Kéler, 1936 (Ischnocera, Philopteridae) parasitic on Neotropical trogons (Aves, Trogoniformes) - Version 11.0

mpvalim@hotmail.com (Michel Valim) — Tue, 07 Aug 2012 07:37:38 +0000

Two new species of Brueelia are described and illustrated. These new species and their type hosts are: Brueelia sueta ex Pharomachrus pavoninus (Spix, 1824), the Pavonine Quetzal and Brueelia cicchinoi ex Trogon viridis Linnaeus, the White-tailed Trogon. Both new species differ from the only Brueelia described on Trogon mexicanus by many morphological features, including those present in the male genitalia and female vulvar margin. Partial sequences of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I (COI) gene for these two new species differ from one another by 13.6% uncorrected p-distance. Whereas B. cicchinoi is only 0.3% divergent from previously published COI sequences identified as Brueelia sp. from the Mexican T. melanocephalus Gould, 1936 and T. massena Gould, 1938. We also found B. cicchinoi on T. melanurus, T. collaris and Pharomachrus pavoninus. Thus B. cicchinoi is found on multiple trogoniform hosts across an extremely large geographic distribution and has one of the largest number of host associations among Brueelia species.

Checklist of vascular plants of the Ñeembucú Department, Paraguay - Version 1.0

journals@pensoft.net (Pensoft Journals) — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 21:29:42 +0000

The Department of Ñeembucú is one of the least well-documented areas of eastern Paraguay, and the flora is composed of a mixture of forest and Chaco elements. Regions like Ñeembucú are often considered of lower diversity and interest that more forested regions; this results from both actual species richness figures and from under-collecting due to perception as uninteresting. We present here a checklist of the vascular plants of Ñeembucú, which includes 676 taxa (including infraspecific taxa and collections identified only to genus) in 100 families and 374 genera. Four hundred and thirty nine (439) of these are new records for Ñeembucú and of these, 4 are new published records for Paraguay. Synonyms, distribution details within Paraguay and a voucher specimen or literature record are provided for each taxon, and a brief analysis of the diversity and importance of the flora is presented.

Frullania knightbridgei, a new liverwort (Frullaniaceae, Marchantiophyta) species from the deep south of Aotearoa-New Zealand based on an integrated evidence-based approach. - Version 7.0

mkonrat@fieldmuseum.org (Matt von Konrat) — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 07:57:47 +0000

Frullania is a large and taxonomically complex genus. A new liverwort species, Frullania knightbridgei, sp. nov. from southern New Zealand, is described and illustrated. The new species, and its placement in Frullania subg. Microfrullania, is based on an integrated evidence-based approach derived from morphology, ecology, experimental growth studies of plasticity, as well as sequence data. Diagnostic characters associated with the leaf and lobule cell-wall anatomy, oil-bodies, and spore ultra-structure distinguish it from all other New Zealand species of Frullania. A critical comparison is also made between Frullania knightbridgei and morphologically allied species of botanical regions outside the New Zealand region and an artificial key is provided. The new species is similar to some forms of the widespread Australasian species, F. rostrata, but has unique characters associated with the lobule and oilbodies. Frullania knightbridgei is remarkably interesting in comparison with the majority of Frullania species, and indeed liverworts in general, in that it is at least partially halotolerant. Maximum parsimony and maximum likelihood analyses of nuclear ribosomal ITS2 and plastidic trnL-trnF sequences from purported related species confirms its independent taxonomic status and corroborates its placement within Frullania subg. Microfrullania.
