Abstract In 2014, an inventory of protected Natura 2000 saproxylic beetles from the Prigoria-Bengeşti protected area in Gorj County (Romania) was made. Four species were identified: Osmoderma eremita (Scopoli, 1763), Lucanus cervus (Linnaeus, 1758), Morimus funereus Mulsant, 1862 and Cerambyx cerdo Linnaeus, 1758. Using GIS mapping analysis, the distribution of these species was established in terms of the habitats described in the Natura 2000 framework. Lucanus cervus occurred over more than half of the Prigoria-Bengeşti protected area, with an overall area of occupancy of 26.10%. Morimus funereus and Cerambyx cerdo occurred in between 23.21–27.67% of the area, whereas Osmoderma eremita only occurred in 12.04% of the ROSCI0359, with area of occupancy by 11.40%. This paper presents the threats to these beetles and summarises some management and conservation issues based on the existing observations and experience at a local level.

Direktiva o staništima Evropske unije predstavlja jedan od temelja evropskog zakonodavstva u oblastizaštite prirode i zaštite biodiverziteta. Ona definiše uspostavljanje mreže posebnih područja za očuvanjebiodiverziteta, koja su poznata kao Natura 2000 područja, u cilju osiguranja dugoročnog opstanka najvrednijihi najugroženijih vrsta i staništa Evrope. Direktiva u Dodatku II navodi 38 vrsta tvrdokrilaca čijeočuvanje zahtijeva određivanje posebnih područja za zaštitu.U ovom radu prezentovani su podaci o taksonima tvrdokrilaca (Coleoptera) iz Dodatka II Direktive ostaništima Evropske unije, a koji su do sada registrovani na području Nacionalnog parka „Sutjeska“ iširem području planine Zelengore.Terenskim istraživanjem sprovedenim u 2015. i 2016. godini identifikovana su četiri taksona tvrdokrilacanavedena u Dodatku II Direktive o staništima Evropske unije: Cucujus cinnaberinus (Scopoli, 1763),Lucanus cervus (Linnaeus, 1758), Morimus asper funereus Mulsant, 1862 i Rosalia alpina (Linnaeus,1758), dok su vrste Cerambyx cerdo Linnaeus, 1758 i Osmoderma eremita (Scopoli, 1763) poznate uistraživanom području samo na osnovu literaturnih podataka, odnosno zbirki Zemaljskog muzeja Bosnei Hercegovine.

La Directive Habitats-Faune-Flore (DHFF) prévoit un suivi dans le temps de l’état de conservation des espèces d’intérêt communautaire. En France, cette surveillance reste peu développée pour les invertébrés. Des protocoles nationaux sont proposés pour sept espèces de coléoptères saproxyliques rares ou à caractère « parapluie » : Stephanopachys linearis (Kugelann, 1792) et Stephanopachys substriatus (Paykull, 1800) (Bostrichidae), Cerambyx cerdo Linnaeus, 1758 et Rosalia alpina (Linnaeus, 1758) (Cerambycidae), Osmoderma eremita (Scopoli, 1763) (Trichiinae), Limoniscus violaceus (P.W.J. Müller,1821) (Elateridae) et Rhysodes sulcatus (Fabricius, 1787) (Rhysodinae). La DHFF définit quatre paramètres d’état de conservation : l’aire de répartition, la taille des populations, l’habitat d’espèce et les perspectives futures. À partir de la littérature sur l’écologie et la conservation de ces espèces et de l’expertise des auteurs sur les populations françaises, la réflexion a porté sur des protocoles économiquement et techniquement réalistes pour effectuer une veille à large échelle. Pour ces espèces rares et discrètes, les mesures directes des tailles de populations ne paraissent pas opérationnelles. Il est proposé de confirmer l’occupation des sites (voire de détecter de nouvelles localités) et de suivre les micro-habitats clés de chacune de ces espèces. Ce focus sur l’habitat d’espèce doit permettre de faire le lien avec les pressions et les mesures de gestion. Un recours à la modélisation et aux observatoires participatifs est envisagé pour préciser la distribution de certaines espèces. Il est préconisé de mobiliser des statistiques de l’inventaire forestier national en les affinant à l’échelle de la distribution de chaque espèce. Un tableau résume les propositions pour chaque espèce : paramètres visés, plan et unités d’échantillonnage, techniques et matériel, périodes favorables, possibilité d’impliquer les gestionnaires, périodicité des relevés, types d’indicateurs, éléments de coûts et perspectives de recherche.Ces propositions sont discutées en termes de moyens nécessaires et au regard des rares protocoles disponibles dans les pays concernés par ces espèces, notamment en Italie.

Abstract: Studies on biological diversity are essential to generate baseline information in natural protected areas. In the present study, we developed a multi-taxonomic inventory in the Sierra del Abra Tanchipa Biosphere Reserve, located northeast of San Luis Potosí, Mexico. Systematic samplings were performed between January 2017 to May 2018, for the taxonomic groups of flora, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. A total of 3 730 records of 683 species were obtained, corresponding to 427 species of flora, 10 of amphibians, 20 of reptiles, 192 of birds, and 34 of mammals, from which 47 species are threatened. The results obtained represent the critical biodiversity that can be found in this natural protected area. The information will be useful for decision-making on the management and conservation of biodiversity in the Sierra Madre Oriental’s ecological corridor.

Realistic Assessment

Socio-demographic and health indices vary across the administrative units in a country. Thus, reported morbidity and mortality figures vary and inter/intra state comparison becomes a challenge. To handle such issues and administer a centralized health management system, identifying disease clusters and providing services to high risk population become important. Exploring a small part of the immense potential of geographic information systems (GIS) in centralized health management, this study presents a method of generating effective information for proper health management at local level. Such information is important for infectious diseases like tuberculosis (TB). The present paper discusses quarterly GIS mapping and assessment of TB in 1,965 villages of Almora district, Uttarakhand, India from 2003 to 2008. The values for Morbidity Rate (MBR) are depicted in risk maps for each quarter. Moran’s I indices were used to estimate the global spatial autocorrelation between the morbidity rates. Local Moran’s I (LISA) was used to detect spatial clusters and outliers, and for the prediction of hotspots of the disease. The result of this study has the potential to reflect a realistic assessment of the disease situation at the local level. Future work on this study can be utilized for planning and policy framework related to TB and other diseases.

Abstract Spain has just declared a new marine protected area in the Mediterranean. This follows a protective trend taken by Spanish authorities during the last decades and has permitted Spain to honour its international compromises under the Convention on Biological Diversity. It contributes to a framework of protected areas established under conventional regimes such as OSPAR, RAMSAR or EU Natura 2000. The new area protects a ‘cetacean corridor’ and will be inscribed in the list of Specially Protected Areas of Mediterranean Importance under the Barcelona Convention regional framework.

Abstract. We identified high-value biodiversity areas (HVBAs) of terrestrial vertebrates according to a combined index of biodiversity (CBI) for each major taxon and a standardized biodiversity index (SBI) for all taxa in 2195 cells of 50 × 50 km in Western Europe to evaluate whether these areas are included in the current protected area networks. The World Database on Protected Areas (WDPA) and NATURA 2000 protected area network were used to assess the protected area cover in HVBAs. WDPA and NATURA 2000 were geographically quite complementary as WDPA is more densely represented in Central and Northern Europe and NATURA 2000 in the Mediterranean basin. A total of 729 cells were identified as HVBAs. From the total of these HVBA areas, NATURA 2000 network was present in more cells (660) than the WDPA network (584 cells). The sum of protected land percentages across all the HVBA cells was 28.8%. The identified HVBA cells according to the SBI included 603 or 78.2% of all vertebrate species in the study region, whereas the identified HVBA cells according to the SBI for individual taxa included 47 (90.4%) species of amphibians, 79 (74.5%) of reptiles, 417 (88.5%) of birds, and 130 (91.5%) of mammals. However, neither network was present in 7 or 3% of the identified HVBA cells. Thus, we recommend expanding protected areas in Europe to fill this gap and improve coverage of vertebrate species to strengthen biodiversity conservation.
