Prey Interaction

Conflicts in conservation may arise if two or more threatened species are involved in prey-predator interaction. Predators may have a profound effect on small prey populations, thus conservation actions must consider inter-specific interactions involving threatened species. Here we report nest predation events on a wild population of the Endangered red-billed curassow Crax blumenbachii Spix, 1825 by a group of the Critically Endangered yellow-breasted capuchin monkeys Sapajus xanthosternosWied-Neuwied, 1820 in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. This is the first study to report egg predation of an threatened gamebird by an threatened primate. We recommend that systematic conservation planning for these threatened species consider interactions, especially considering upcoming reintroduction programs indicated in the National Action Plans for these species conservation.

A direct observation survey of birds on a 2 km transect carried out in Kampung Baung Bayam,Kelantan revealed at least 20 species of birds. Yellow-vented Bulbul (Pycnonotus goiavier), ZebraDove (Geopelia striata), Jungle Myna (Acridotheres fuscus), Common Myna (Acridotheres tristis)and White-throat Kingfisher (Halcyon smyrnensis) were commonly spotted during this study. Acheck on the conservation status in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species indicates that there isa need to add more data on avifauna in this area for conservation planning and management.

Conservation Decisions

The distribution of threatened species often serves to drive conservation decisions. Much of the distribution of many threatened species is already protected. These species may need fostering, but not necessarily further protected areas. We propose a simple and generic means of assessing the degree of protection presently offered to a threatened species, namely, the proportion of its distribution that is unprotected. This index classifies threatened species into two classes: most of their distribution range is either (1) inside protected areas (protected), or (2) outside of protected areas (unprotected). We propose that evaluation of land for planning and conservation should be based chiefly on the distribution of those threatened species that are not yet protected by the current reserve network. Our approach is exemplified in a case study of vertebrate species in Israel. We constructed a "hotspots map" using only the threatened species that have more than 60% of their distribution unprotected (n = 57), and compared it to a similar map with all threatened vertebrates (n = 118). This latter map had all hotspots around the Rift Valley in the eastern part of the country, while the former map had some hotspots in the western parts of the country as well. This study highlights the importance of a clear decision regarding which species should be used in prioritizing areas for conservation.

Français. Un inventaire des ptéridophytes a été entrepris dans les forêts de la région de Tlemcen. L’inventaire de ces populations constitue une étape importante pour le développement des stratégies de conservation des ressources génétiques et de la diversité de ces populations sur l’ensemble de leur aire de distribution naturelle. Nous avons ainsi effectué le recensement et l’identification des fougères existantes dans la région de Tlemcen. Au total, plusieurs stations dont les caractéristiques écologiques diffèrent d’un site à un autre ont été prospectées, cela a permis l’identification de 26 taxons (dont 5 exceptionnellement rare). La création de réserves naturelles forestières renforcée par une protection réglementaire des espèces les plus menacées est nécessaire pour le maintien de ces communautés si particulières. English. An inventory of Pteridophyta was begun in the forests of the Tlemcen region. The inventory of these populations constitutes an important stage for the developement of the strategies of preservation of the genetic resources and the diversity of these populations on their whole area of natural distribution. We so made the inventory and the identification of the existing ferns in the region of Tlemcen. On the whole, several stations the ecological characteristics differ from a site in the other one were canvassed; they allowed the identification of 26 taxes (among which 5 exceptionally rare). The creation of forest nature reserves strengthened by a statutory protection of the most threatened species is necessary for the preservation of these particular communities.
