RESUMENSe presentan 15 nuevas localidades de encuentros con perezosos de tres dedos Bradypus variegatus castaneiceps (Pilosa: Bradypodidae) en Honduras. Se confirma la existencia de esta especie en los departamentos de El Paraíso y Atlántida; con ello, se amplía la distribución por la cuenca del Río Segovia (frontera con Nicaragua) y por la costa Caribe de Honduras. Adicionalmente esta investigación propone una distribución espacial potencial de esta especie en el país basada en afinidad de caracteres fisiográficos con el programa MaxEnt. El estudio incluye también el registro de una cría en el mes de abril del 2013, se discuten los nombres locales de este animal en Honduras. Se evalúa las acciones de conservación en el país.Palabras clave: Ampliación, área de distribución, Centroamérica, three-toed sloth, probable ocurrencia, nuevos registros, MaxEnt.ABSTRACTWe present 15 new records for the brown three-toed sloth, Bradypus variegatus castaneiceps (Pilosa: Bradypodidae) in Honduras. These records confirm the existence of this specie in the departments of El Paraiso and Atlántida, and expand its geographical distribution from the watershed of the Rio Segovia (border with Nicaraguan) to along the Caribbean coast of Honduras. Additionally, we propose a potential spatial distribution of the specie based on the relationship between records and physiographic characteristics using the program MaxEnt. We document the presence of a juvenile in April 2013 and include a discussion of the common names of three-toed sloths in Honduras. We furthermore evaluate the position of this species on the List of Species of Special Concern and the qualification of its status as least concern (LC) in the IUCN Red ListKey words: Range extension, Central America, brown-throated sloth, probable occurrence, new records, MaxEnt

This chapter focuses on the historical and conceptual foundations of trusts and equity, first examining the history of the relationship between law and equity, including the historical origins of the trust. It then explains the idea of equity and how it is intertwined with the common law, and compares the trust with concepts such as gifts and contracts. The chapter shows that the trust arose in response to equity’s special concern to ensure that legal rights are not used in bad conscience, but later developed into a sophisticated institution governed by established rules. It looks at the reform of the Court of Chancery and considers trust property, equitable rights under a trust, separation of legal and equitable title, and the paradox of property and obligation.

The Relationship

Cherax quadricarinatus is a parastacid crayfish native to parts of north-eastern Australia and southern New Guinea. It is a relatively large and highly fecund species in comparison with other crayfish of this genus. Since C. quadricarinatus was previously assessed as an invasive species in Indonesia, further monitoring of this species in this region was recommended. Detailed understanding of its spatial behaviour can be the basis for further research aimed at improved management. Field sampling was performed outside its native range in Java, Indonesia from 2019–2020, resulting in data useful for modelling the species' spatial distribution. The occurrence of the species was confirmed in 66 of 70 surveyed localities with 51 new records for Indonesia. Future investigations focused on the relationship between the spatial distribution and dispersal pattern of C. quadricarinatus and its interactions with native biota and entire ecosystems were recommended.

The Relationship

The juvenile index at a nursery area on the Gulf of Batabanó has proved to be a reliable predictor of total catch of the common lobster (Panulirus argus) fishery; up to 1 year in advance. Over the last 15 years (1982–1996) juveniles have been monitored in concrete-block shelters that permit wider variation in juvenile recruitment and thus a regional and seasonal prediction of catches. Since 1988, puerulus settlement has been measured by means of artificial-seaweed collectors, but the short data series does not allow construction of a predictive model. The full-year model of catch prediction was based on the index of juvenile abundance and its relationships with lobster catches the following year. The seasonal models of catch prediction were based on the seasonal behaviour of the lobster fishery. The catch in the season of the massive migrations or ‘recalo’ (October–February) depends on the intensity of recruitment and the number of fishing days. The catch in ‘levante season’ (June–September) depends on the juvenile index and the catches during the previous ‘recalo’. The relationship between observed and predicted catch and management strategies was examined.

Dajaus monticola (Bancroft, 1834) is an amphidromous species of mugilid known from South and Central America and the islands of the Caribbean but is rarely collected in Gulf coast states of the United States. Two new records of D. monticola collected from the Gulf of Mexico (Brazoria Co.) and the Brazos River (Washington Co.) are reported from Texas. The rare occurrence of D. monticola in Texas is discussed and diagnostic characters used to distinguish this species from other mugilids found in Texas are reevaluated.

Knowledge of the geographical distribution of the birds in the Colombian Caribbean is still meager. Coastal wetlands are among the less studied environments in the area and one of the most important for their high bird richness. Since 1998, inventories and monitoring of the bird populations of the lower part of the Sinú river have been made. Until July 2005, 296 bird species have been recorded for the area, 41 of which are new for this part of the Caribbean; in addition, new wintering localities were noted for eight migratory species. Breeding records were obtained for 98 species. Three species are threatened at some level and six have a restricted geographic distribution. New records for the area are explained in terms of the limited previous knowledge of the region’s avifauna.

AbstractThe finding of ceremonial bone and shell objects at Puntarenas Farm, Jalaca, southeastern Costa Rica, along with ceramics of known Chiriqui or Red and Black ware, has thrown new light upon the extent of pre-Columbian trade and the penetration of cult traits from northern South America into lower Central America. Although no radiocarbon date has been obtained as yet, it is known that the manufacture of Chiriqui or Red and Black ware was continued into post-Columbian times.The presence in this region of shells found only on the Caribbean coast of Central America and not on the Pacific, as well as artifacts of manatee (Trichechus m. manatus Linn.) bone, also associated solely with the Caribbean littoral, indicate the extent and importance of trade. In the same sense, the appearance of the alligator-serpent motif on both coasts of the Nicoya Peninsula and on the western coast with ware related to Ulua Polychrome types and with an Ulua style alabaster vase, places a new northern boundary with respect to the diffusion of this cult motif. The Ulua Polychrome types and the Ulua style alabaster vase put a time horizon covering from A.D. 1000 probably to the Spanish arrival. The alligator-serpent concept, so familiar in the Amazon and Andean regions, the “eagle” or “condor” concept, the feline, the monkey, and the frog all emphasize the common base of lower Central American religion. Likewise they point to San Agustin as a cultural center of great importance in lower Central America.From the artistic point of view, the bone objects represent some of the most intricate carving yet known in eastern Central America. Both the style and subject matter place these figures in a different category from bone artifacts associated with Mesoamerican cultures.

RESUMENEl oso hormiguero gigante también conocido en Centro América como oso caballo (Myrmecophaga tridactyla), es una de las especies carismáticas del mundo. Se ha documentado en la literatura que los límites de la distribución más septentrional para esta especie son Belice y Guatemala. El mapa de su distribución para Centro América da inicio en toda la franja Caribe de Panamá e incluye todo el territorio de Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, El Salvador y una mínima porción de la costa del Caribe de Guatemala y Belice. Sin embargo, M. tridactyla no se registra en los últimos 100 años para Guatemala, Belice y El Salvador. En Honduras se realizaron diferentes monitoreos en la región Caribe y Moskitia registrándose fotocapturas del oso caballo únicamente en la Reserva de la Biosfera del Río Plátano y la Reserva propuesta de Rus Rus. Este análisis propone como límite septentrional de la distribución del M. tridactyla la región de la Moskitia hondureña, basados en la ausencia de esta especie en los listados actuales oficiales de los países de Guatemala, El Salvador y Belice, en la revisión bibliográfica para Centro América  y en los monitoreos que se realizaron en la región Caribe y Moskitia hondureña. Palabras clave: Centro América, oso caballo, septentrional, Caribe, Moskitia.ABSTRACTThe giant anteater also known in Central America as oso caballo (Myrmecophaga. tridactyla), is one of the world’s charismatic species. It has been mentioned for different sources that giant anteater most northern limit distributions are Belize and Guatemala. The distribution map for Central America begins and extends throughout the Caribbean of Panama and includes the entire territory of Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, El Salvador and a minimal portion of the Caribbean coast of Guatemala and Belize. However M. tridactyla is not recorded in the last 100 years in Guatemala, Belize and El Salvador. In Honduras several biological monitoring were performed in the Caribbean and the Moskitia region recorded evidence for the specie only for the Biosphere Reserve of Río Plátano and the biological Reserve of Rus Rus in the Moskitia region. This analysis propose as most northerly for M. tridactyla the Honduran Moskitia region, based in the absence on the most recent check list for Guatemala, El Salvador, and Belize, also literature review for Central America and the biological monitoring performed in the Caribbean and Moskitia region. Keywords: Central America, giant anteater, Northern, Caribbean, Moskitia.
