SummaryIdentifying attributes that affect the vulnerability of a species to extinction is important as it allows conservation efforts to be focused on more susceptible species. We assessed whether threatened birds of Guatemala are a random subset of the avifauna, considering their taxonomic affiliation, body size, diet and geographical distribution. We found that threatened bird species in Guatemala were neither taxonomically nor geographically randomly distributed. Large-bodied species and Psittaciformes, Galliformes, Falconiformes and Ciconiformes were among the most threatened groups, and the Pacific slopes of the country hosted more threatened birds than would be expected. Published scientific information regarding Critically Endangered bird species in Guatemala is scant and biased against nocturnal and aquatic species. Research and conservation efforts ought to be oriented toward these species and regions to safeguard the Guatemalan avifauna. This study allows an overall consideration on whether we are conserving the species and areas that are important for threatened birds.

This article has the objective to overview literature on the topic of the distribution of Malesia mosses which is closely related to tropical forest. This diversity and distribution is an important concern because of the increasing rate of destruction of tropical forests throughout region. Using theoretical literature method, the author summarizes mosses’ wide geographical distribution covering the tropical regions of Asia, the Pacific and Australia. Some types of liverworts do not spread west across the Wallace line. A review of liverworts literature has been conducted but a review specifically on the moss diversity in Melasia region is limited. Thus, this review includes a brief introduction to mosses and then focuses on the following topics; the characteristics of mosses; development of moss plants; classification of moss plants; benefits of moss plants and moss diversity in the Malesia region.

Based on recent records, published data, and review of specimens deposited in scientific collections, we present an updated map of the geographic distribution of Diploglossus monotropis in Colombia. Our data show that this species has a wide geographical distribution, including the Pacific versant of the Cordillera Occidental, the inter-Andean valley of the Magdalena River, and the Caribbean lowlands of northern Colombia.

Abstract A description is provided for Guignardia musae. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: On Musa cavendishii, M. paradisiaca and M. sapientum. DISEASE: Freckle of banana (Musa). Symptoms on the fingers may appear 2-4 weeks after the bunch has shot but are most noticeable at harvest. On the fruit are red brown, superficial spots usually circular, up to 2 mm diam., with dark green watersoaked halos. Spots may coalesce and dense aggregations of them may form streaks or circular areas. At harvest freckle may completely cover the fingers; the presence of pycnidia renders the surface rough to the touch. The proximal hand is often the most severely affected. On leaves the dark brown or black spots may be small (<1 mm diam.) or larger (up to 4 mm diam.). In the former case freckled areas have a sooty appearance, and streaks or circular areas may form. In the latter case the spots may have fawn or greyish centres with yellowish-green halos. Coalescence of spots occurs and freckle is usually restricted to the older leaves. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Widespread in south and east Asia and the Pacific islands; also in east Africa, but the infections caused have not been found in central or south America (53, 797). TRANSMISSION: Conidia water-dispersed.
