Synonymy of Orthomus susanae Serrano & Borges, 2009 with Orthomus annae (Donaba...

Copyright © 2012 Magnolia Press. ; [...]. Some time after the publication of their paper in Zootaxa, the authors found out that another Madeiran Orthomus species had been described one month earlier (Donabauer 2008). Taking in consideration the morphological characteristics of the specimens described in both papers and the coincidence of the type localities no doubts remained regarding the synonymy between the...

New data on the spatial distribution of endemic ground beetles (Coleoptera: Car...

Based on standardised sampling methods covering a large fraction of native forest on Madeira Island, new distribution data is reported for 33 species of endemic ground beetles. Most of these species have been found in new localities and their distribution range is now better known. Dromius angustus alutaceus Wollaston, 1857 was "rediscovered" after more than fifty years since the last known record and two rare ...

Extinction debt on oceanic islands

Copyright © 2010 The Authors. Journal compilation © 2010 Ecography. ; Habitat destruction is the leading cause of species extinctions. However, there is typically a time-lag between the reduction in habitat area and the eventual disappearance of the remnant populations. These “surviving but ultimately doomed” species represent an extinction debt. Calculating the magnitude of such future extinction events has b...

The cave‐adapted arthropod fauna from Madeira archipelago

This work provides an overview of the hypogean fauna from the Madeira archipelago, presenting a list of obligated cave-dwelling species. A total of 6 troglobiont species in 5 orders have been described to date. The cave fauna in Madeira can be considered poor when compared with either the local epigean fauna or the cave fauna of other Macaronesian archipelagos. Curious is the occurrence of one wood-louse cave s...

Diversity patterns of ground-beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) along a gradient o...

Ground-beetles were used to monitor biodiversity along a gradient of land-use disturbance, from old-growth cork-oak woodland to a monoculture, in a typical Mediterranean landscape. The work also included an exotic forest in the second year. During this study, a total of 11 294 individuals of carabids from 101 different species were sampled (2001: N = 4776, S = 80; 2002: N = 6518, S = 77). Agriculture u...
