UDK: 597.551.2(497) Sabanejewia balcanica is a fish species that belongs to Cobitidae family and it is the endemic of the Balkan Peninsula. It is present in the tributaries of the Danube and Aegean waters. Systematics of this species has experienced certain changes that are related to the systemic instability of the entire Cobitidae family, so there has been a change in the name of the genus of this species. The genus Sabanejewia was separated from the genus Cobitis in the last century, but this name was generally used much later. According to data of the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, this species is still not endangered, but is assigned a status of least concern (LC). Sabanejewia balcanica is in the Annex II of the Habitats Directive and Annex III of the Bern Convention which basically require the protection of this species and its habitats. In the proposal to create a red list of fauna of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, has been concluded that there is not enough information on the population characteristics of this species. The aim of this article is to present data on exploration of Sabanejewia balcanica in the Balkan area as well as Bosnia and Herzegovina, thereby contributing to the determination of its status of vulnerability and protection of its natural habitats.

Abstract Leucorrhinia pectoralis is included in the Bern Convention (Appendix II), the Habitats Directive (Council Directive 92/43/EEC) (Annexes II and IV), the IUCN European Red List of Dragonflies, the IUCN Red List of Mediterranean Dragonflies and in the Red List of Dragonflies of the Carpathians. Typical environments for this species are peatlands, a habitat that is in decline and needs special protection throughout Europe. In the summer of 2014 we investigated ROSCI0247 “Tinovul Mare Poiana Stampei” and identified two males of Leucorrhinia pectoralis. At 4.5 km from this protected area, within the same period, we found several dozen individuals of L. pectoralis in a peat exploit area, called “Turbamin”, an example of human activities contributing accidentally to maintain a rare and protected species in nature.

Twenty-four species representing 21 genera, 16 families and 7 orders of mammals were recorded in the Tripura state, northeast India, from an inventory done from 2006 to 2012. Ten of these species were found in wildlife sanctuaries as well as in primary forests. Four species were recorded exclusively from the wildlife sanctuaries and ten species were recorded only from primary forests. Order Primates was the most diverse group represented by 6 species from 4 genera in 3 families. Frequency sightings data showed that 11 species were rare, 2 species were occasional, one species was frequent, and another 10 species were common. Two species, Large-footed Mouse-eared Bat, Myotis sp., and Greater False Vampire Bat, Megaderma lyra, are new records from the study area.  Overall, 23 of the 24 species recorded are listed in the IUCN Red List, 14 species are listed in CITES, and 14 species are protected under the Indian Wildlife Protection Act, 1972. Threats being faced by many of the recorded mammals from human encroachments are highlighted.

AbstractThe Bermudian rock lizard or skink Eumeces longirostris is categorized as Critically Endangered on the 2000 IUCN Red List. Skinks are vulnerable to habitat loss, introduction of non-native species and mortality caused by discarded bottles and cans that act as selfbaiting traps. This study describes the population characteristics of the Bermudian skink on two islands of the Bermudian archipelago: Nonsuch and Southampton islands. Nonsuch Island is a nature reserve but has populations of introduced lizards of the genus Anolis, lizard-eating birds and (a new finding) the cane toad Bufo marinus. Southampton Island is relatively isolated and has no introduced species. The skink population on Nonsuch Island was not investigated in detail, but appears to be small, localized to human habitation (where cover and food scraps are available) and dominated by large, old (some possibly >27 years) animals that exhibit high mutilation rates. Breeding occurs, but survival to adulthood appears poor. All of neighbouring Southampton Island was intensively trapped, with traps placed at the intersections of a 10-m grid. The population was estimated by mark–recapture trials to be c. 400 adults and juveniles; hatchlings are insectivorous and not susceptible to trapping. The population on Southampton Island is currently the largest known on Bermuda and appears to be viable; sustained isolation from predators and people is essential to its maintenance.

Over the last half century, the relevance of phytososological research has not diminished. Therefore, at the taxonomic and phytocoenotic levels, the current state of conservation of rare dendrodiversity of the genus Spiraea L. was analyzed. The quantitative and qualitative composition of the autochthonous and introduced, as well as phytocenotaxonomic species diversity, which is protected by world, national and regional red and green lists, has been established. Dendroexot Spiraea cana Waldst. & Kit. listed in The IUCN Red List, and Spiraea media subsp polonica (Blocki) Dostal (= Spiraea polonica Blocki) – in the Red Book of Ukraine, the remaining five plant species are listed in the regional red lists of 15 administrative regions of Ukraine. Of the five rare species and one subspecies of dendroautochthonous, only two species in Ukraine are being grown outside their natural habitats. All studied plant taxa are represented in different ways in the nature reserve fund of Ukraine in situ and ex situ. Analysis of the regional representativeness of their distribution showed uneven conservation of taxa in physical – geographical plains and mountainous countries. The network of territories and objects of conservation covers 15 protected areas in the Steppe zone, 13 in the Forest-steppe zone, 14 in the zone of deciduous forests, 13 in the zone of mixed forests. In the Crimean mountains and the Ukrainian Carpathians, the studied plant taxa are not protected. Phytocenotic diversity (three species) was identified, which is listed in the Bern Convention and the Green Book of Ukraine. Spiraea hypericifolia L. forms and participates in the creation of 10 associations and therefore has the widest phytocenotic amplitude. Spiraea litvinovii Dobrocz. creates a separate formation of shrub steppes, which includes six associations. At the co-dominant level, Spiraea media Franz Schmidt is a part of only one forest association. These dendroassociations are protected in five nature reserves, two national nature parks, one regional landscape park, six nature reserves and one natural monument. In the future, the development of systematic research on the conservation regimes of populations and phytocenoses of rare dendrodiversity is seen.

Five new species of Peperomia (Piperaceae), endemic to the state of Veracruz, Mexico, are described, illustrated, compared with morphologically close taxa and assigned to their respective subgenus. Peperomia castilloi Vergara-Rodríguez & Jimeno-Sevilla, P. nopalana G.Mathieu, P. trichobracteata G.Mathieu & T.Krömer and P. xalana G.Mathieu are four somewhat similar species that occur at lower elevations in tropical humid forests. Peperomia zongolicana Jimeno-Sevilla & Vergara-Rodríguez occurs in tropical humid forests at mid-range elevations and is very distinct by the shape of its inflorescences. An assessment of their conservation status, considering IUCN Red List categories and criteria, revealed that they all belong to a threatened category, mainly due to the continuous loss and fragmentation of their natural habitats.

Bagarius bagarius (Hamilton, 1822), a freshwater catfish species, is important as food and game fish in Bangladesh, Bhutan, India and Nepal. In Bangladesh, it is known as Baghair and has been enlisted as critically endangered (CR) species in the IUCN Red List of Bangladesh 2000 and 2015, under the criteria A2cd version 3.1 mentioning declining trend in its population around 80% during the last 25 years (3 generation time). We studied the abundance of B. bagarius at 8 sites in three riverine habitats. We identified 8 individuals of B. bagarius from the Meghna river only (Shibpur site, Bhola Sadar). However, focus group discussion with fishers revealed that the species was frequently present in the catch from the river, although the abundance reduced considerably over the decade. We also found several other studies which reported the abundance of B. bagarius in different natural habitats. The findings from this study in combination with other published literature in the last 5 years indicated that the current status of B. bagarius in natural waters in Bangladesh do not fall below the threshold limits of CR species. Therefore, B. bagarius should be reclassified into a lower threatened status (but not Least Concern) than the current CR. Dhaka Univ. J. Biol. Sci. 28(1): 111-119, 2019 (January)
