2939 moss taxa are listed for sub-Saharan Africa and adjacent islands, with distribution by country. Each record is supported a literature reference. The following new combinations made: Calyptrochaeta cristata (Hedw.) O’Shea, Groutiella elimbata (Thér) Meiothecium undulatum (Ren. & Card.) Orthodontium ruwenzorensis (Thér. Nav.) Pohlia lacouturei (Thér.) Sematophyllum corticolum (Aongstr.) dixonii nanopyxis (Geh.) rigescens (Card.) Thamnobryum malgachum O’Shea.
This is the first in a series of papers listing new records, which will be published whenever sufficient records have been found. The taxa are arranged by countries for an easier evaluation, e.g. updates checklists. initials contributor each record shown square brackets after record, and these interpreted at end paper.
Latitudinal sexual segregation during the nonbreeding season, in which males tend to winter farther north than females, is known occur many temperate-zone bird species. This pattern, however, has rarely been reported species wintering tropical regions. We investigated latitudinal 45 Nearctic-Neotropical migratory that Mexico, using specimen records from 35 natural-history museums. found significant nine species: Yellow-bellied Sapsucker (Sphyrapicus varius), Swainson's Thrush (Catharus...
We conducted ornithological surveys of Tafelberg mountain, Suriname, in November–December 2005 and August–September 2008 also surveyed the adjacent lowlands both forest savanna habitats around Kappel Airstrip. recorded a total 283 species, including 27 Guianan endemics 2 tepuian (Heliodoxa xanthogonys Hylophilus sclateri). Four species were new for Suriname represented significant range extensions (Chamaeza campanisona, Hemitriccus inornatus, Turdus leucops olivater). First specimen vouchers...
Amazonian bird species often have patchy spatial distributions, and previous work has attributed this pattern to habitat specialization dispersal limitation; however, we know comparatively little about the origins maintenance of isolated populations that constitute a distribution. In study, ask whether are interconnected by dispersal. We formulated 2 alternative hypotheses: (1) relicts ancient connectivity or dispersal; (2) centers local abundance embedded in matrix contemporary diffuse...
Urban ecosystems are increasingly dominating landscapes globally, so it is critical to understand the effects of human settlements on biodiversity. Bird communities effective indicators because they impacted by size and expansion settlements, exemplified changes in their habitat use, breeding foraging behaviours, as well patterns richness abundance. Existing studies bird community responses have mainly focused single ecoregions large cities, leaving a gap comparative research how differently...
Abstract Fire management remains controversial worldwide, in spite of longstanding Indigenous burning practices that have shown benefits to biodiversity. In the Neotropics, limited information is available on wildlife response fire, particularly for medium and large mammals. We conducted 1 year transect surveys detect signs live sightings mammals Rupununi, Guyana, within a habitat matrix savanna, wetland, forest, where fire practiced. Species richness showed non‐linear relationship with time...

The original checkelist of mosses for Paraguay listed 137 species the country, based on literature reports. An updated checklist has been compiled here, with corrections and additional names added from recent records, in some cases herbarium records. A total 240 moss species, including 8 infraspecific taxa, 94 genera 38 families are now recorded Paraguay. This includes published nomina nuda 9 taxa that as present country but which lack any specific locality reference. Forty-three apparent...
AbstractA checklist of all bryophytes identified from Malawi at May 1991 is presented, with synonyms and references. The list derived literature unpublished collections, contains 197 mosses 106 hepatics. was produced to provide a basis for describing plants new Malawi, particularly the British Bryological Society Expedition Mulanje Mountain, in 1991. Distribution information included, species accounts include published references collection numbers where known. All held on computer database.
Based on a recent moss checklist of sub-Saharan Africa, an analysis is made diversity and endemism in the area. There are over 3000 taxa, 77% which endemic. Figures for each country listed, mapped graphed, also considered at genus level. As bryophyte flora Africa comparatively poorly known, it important to be prudent when drawing conclusions about biodiversity endemism.
51 hepatics and 46 mosses are reported new to Uganda, including one moss Africa, hepatic two mainland 2 that otherwise known only from their type collection.
12 hepatics and 32 mosses are reported new to Uganda, 1 moss being also Africa, liverwort mainland Africa. Ectropothecium plumigerum (Broth.) Hedenäs is a combination (basionym: Isopterygium Broth.) with synonym Taxicaulis plumirameus Müll.Hal. nom. nud., Taxiphyllum maniae (Renauld & Paris) M. Fleisch. of taxirameum (Mitt.) M.Fleisch. Three removed from the Uganda list.
Based on studies of 487 specimens, the pleurocarpous moss genus Rhacopilopsis is reviewed world-wide, and two taxa are recognised: R. trinitensis (Müll.Hal.) E.Britt. & Dixon (new synonyms: Acanthocladiella kilimandscharica Broth. P.de la Varde, A. transvaaliensis Thér. ex Sim, Dimorphella brasiliensis Herzog, D. pechuelii var. acuminata Cardot, gracilis Cardot vars. pendula Varde perserrata J.Taylor fo. densa Tosco Piovano) variegatum (Welw.

In a paper in volume 20 (O’Shea et al. 2001), because of problem with fonts, part the account for 3 species Fissidens contained text that was transliterated into letters Greek alphabet.
The palaeotropic moss genus Radulina W.R.Buck & B.C.Tan is revised, resulting in the being reduced to four species and one variety. following 14 names become synonyms of oldest name genus, borbonica (Bél.)
