We present new records of the flat bug Aradus laeviusculus Reuter, 1875, a near threatened species, in North Karelia, Eastern Finland. Three adult individuals were caught in spruce bark beetle pipe traps during the consecutive time periods of 22.V–22.VI.2006, 21.VII–22.VIII.2006 and 23.VII–25.VIII.2008 at a site that had been burnt for restoration purposes on 7.VII.2005. A. laeviusculus had been considered to be an extinct species in Finland until one specimen was found in Koli National Park in 1996. Here we discuss the possibility that slash-and-burn and restoration burn treatments may sustain the continuum of post-fire habitats essential for the A. laeviusculus population.

SummarySerra da Capivara National Park covers an area of about 1,300 km2 in south-eastern Piauí, north-eastern Brazil. The park's vegetation is the endemic caatinga, with a few remnants of semi-deciduous forest in some canyons. The area has a reasonable diversity of plants, with 615 catalogued species. Since 1986, 208 bird species have been observed in the park and its buffer zone, including 10 threatened or near-threatened species, plus two recently extinct in the area. Other species are regionally rare and have declined over parts of their distribution. The park also harbours several threatened mammals and caatinga endemics. Despite having been created in 1979 the park remains effectively unprotected and unmanaged. Current levels of poaching and habitat destruction prejudice the future of several species, including some that have already vanished from other parts of the caatinga.O Parque Nacional da Serra da Capivara abrange uma área de aproxidamamente 1,300 km2 no sudeste do Piauí, nordeste do Brasil. A vegetação do parque é a caatinga, com alguns enclaves de mata semi-decíua. A área possui uma razoável diversidade de plantas, com um total de 615 espécies já catalogadas. Desde 1986, um total de 208 espécies de aves foram observadas no parque e sua zona-tampão, incluindo 10 consideradas ameaçadas ou quase-ameaçadas, além de duas recentemente extintas na área. Outras espécies são regionalmente raras ou tern declinado em parte de sua área de distribuição. O parque também abriga diversos mamíferos ameaçados, e endemismos da caatinga. Apesar de ter sido criado em 1979, o parque ainda não foi consolidado e é pouco mais que um parque de papel. Com os presentes niveis de caça clandestina e destruição de habitats, diversas espécies se extinguirão, incluindo algumas já desapareddas de outras partes da caatinga.

SummaryBetween June 1989 and October 1990 casual records of rare birds were made in Sabah and on Sipadan Island, Malaysia, and on Luzon, Negros, Bohol and Mindanao, Philippines, with additional observations on Palawan and Tawitawi, Philippines, in August and September 1991. Key sites for bird conservation profiled here are the Angat watershed, Quezon National Park and Candaba Marsh (all on Luzon), Mt Canlaon (Negros), Rajah Sukituna National Park (Bohol), Mt Katanglad (Mindanao), remaining forest on both Tawitawi and Sipadan, and the Danum Valley in Sabah. Notes are provided on 31 species of bird, 17 already considered threatened, three near-threatened. While one threatened species (Nicobar Pigeon Caloenas nicobarica) should be downlisted, at least six species (Spotted Imperial-pigeon Ducula carola, Blue-winged Racquet-tail Prioniturus verticalis, Blue-naped Parrot Tanygnathus lucionensis, McGregor's Cuckoo-shrike Coracina mcgregori, Falcated Wren-babbler Ptilocichla falcata and Palawan Flycatcher Ficedula platenae) should be elevated to threatened status. Records for other species supplement and reinforce current assessments of threat or indicate new distributional or taxonomic information on non-threatened forms.

RESUMENDe las 113 especies de murciélagos que están registradas en Honduras, Vampyrum spectrum es una de las especies con menos registros publicados. A nivel global se considera dentro de la categoría Casi Amenazada, mientras que en Honduras esta clasificada como una especie de Preocupación Especial. Esta nota tiene como objetivo presentar dos nuevos registros de Vampyrum spectrum en Honduras. El primero fue realizado en la zona de amortiguamiento del Parque Nacional Sierra de Agalta en el municipio de Catacamas, Olancho. El segundo corresponde a un individuo muerto en la comunidad de Brus Laguna en el departamento de Gracias a Dios. Aún se necesita más información acerca de esta especie, pero de acuerdo con sus registros históricos y actuales, requiere sitios con estados de conservación moderados a buenos y con una conectividad arbórea alta para poder sobrevivir. Es necesario trabajar en programas de educación biológica para disminuir las amenazas a las poblaciones causadas por el desconocimiento y la desinformación que hay sobre esta y otras especies.Palabras clave: distribución, falso vampiro, miskitos, murciélagos. ABSTRACTOf the 113 species of bats registered in Honduras, Vampyrum spectrum is one of the species with few published records. It is considered within the Near Threatened Category, while In Honduras it is classify as a species of Special Concern. This note aims to present two new records of this species in Honduras. The first was carried out in the Sierra de Agalta National Park buffer zone in the municipality of Catacamas, Olancho. The second corresponds to an individual who died in the Brus Laguna community in Gracias a Dios department. More information about this species is still needed. According to its historical and current records, it requires sites with moderate to good conservation status and high tree connectivity to survive. It is necessary to work on biological education programs to reduce threats to populations caused by ignorance and misinformation about this and other species.Key words: bats, distribution, False Vampire, Miskitos.

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.
