TEXAS ENDANGERED ANIMALS
Texas is the home to 36 birds, mammals, reptiles, fish, amphibians and invertebrates that are listed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) as endangered or threatened. Results of studies conducted by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, USFWS, U.S. Natural Resources Conservation Service, Texas Agricultural Extension Service, Texas Department of Agriculture, and research scientists from across the United States, Canada and Mexico are published in a new book, Endangered and Threatened Animals of Texas. The book features a basic description of each animal, its habitat and life history, threats to the animal, the reasons for its decline, recovery efforts, and resources for more information and public involvement. The book sets forth for the first time a comprehensive set of approved guidelines for various species, including the bald eagle, golden-cheeked warbler, black-capped vireo and the Attwater's prairie chicken.
The book is published by Texas Parks & Wildlife Press and sells for $19.95. It is available at major bookstores in Texas or through the University of Texas catalog at (800) 252-3206.
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED IN MEXICO
Volunteers are needed to help in the management of a turtle camp in Nayarit, Mexico, between Puerto Vallarta and San Blas, an area of white sand beaches, nesting sea turtles, wintering whales, and wildlife-filled estuaries. Undiscovered by developers until two years ago, the area is on the verge of disastrous development. Efforts to conserve the largest sea turtle nesting beach in the region, as well as the preservation of adjacent estuaries, lagoons, mangroves, and jungle habitats is underway through an organization known as El Custodio de las Tortugas. The state of Nayarit has been able to fund one turtle camp, which protected and released over 50,000 hatchlings of several endangered sea turtle species last season. Still over 70% of the nests on this beach are destroyed or robbed. Authorization has been given to build and maintain an additional camp.
Volunteer services are needed in various ways. For more information, contact Dr. Mindaugas Labanauskas at: custodio@methow.com or access the Web page at http://www.methow.com/~custodio.
NEW CITES CHECKLIST
The new Checklist of CITES Species has just been published in the three working languages of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species. Its production is supported by the CITES Secretariat, the Joint Nature Conservation Committee of the UK and the European Commission. It is produced by WCMC as part of its support to CITES.
The checklist provides alphabetical lists of the species of fauna and flora listed in Appendices I, II and III of CITES. It is hoped that these will act as an aid to management and scientific authorities, customs officials, and all others involved in implementing and enforcing the Convention.
Copies are available from: CITES Secretariat, Case Postale 456, CH-1219 Geneva, Switzerland; Tel.: (22) 979-9139; Fax: (22) 797-3417; E-mail: cites@unep.ch
WILDLIFE CD-ROMS
Wildlife Worldwide, produced by National Information Services Corporation (NISC), is the world's largest index to literature on wild animals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians with over 485,000 full bibliographic records. The databases in this collection offer a global perspective and together form the ultimate resource on wildlife information. Extensive keyword indexing permits flexible subject searching and taxonomic and geographic identifiers are also helpful. One can search by species in a province, state, county, or even a community, park, lake, or stream.
Another useful CD-ROM is the Species Information Library, which has been compiled by the Fish and Wildlife Information Exchange (FWIE) at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. FWIE archives the species information systems and related databases developed by fish and wildlife agencies and promotes interagency data sharing. Species Information Library contains complete accounts of thousands of North American animals.
Both CD-ROMS are available by contacting NISC, 3100 St. Paul St., Baltimore, MD 21218; Tel.: (410) 243-0797; Fax: (410) 243- 0982; E-mail: sales@nisc.com.
NEW PUBLICATIONS
Las Cruces Biological Station in San Vito, Coto Brus, Costa
Rica held a workshop in February, 1996 on the nomenclature of the
phytoecology of the Neotropics. This was the second workshop (first
one in Caracas, April, 1994) aimed at the compilation of all
classification terminology, including phytosociological terms,
published for the Neotropical area. The first volume, available
this year, will include only continental, Spanish-speaking
countries. Other volumes are planned and individuals interested in
contributing to the Caribbean, Portuguese and French-speaking
countries should write to: Dr. Otto Huber, Instituto Botanico,
Universidad Central, Caracas, Venezuela.
The Laboratorio de Investigaciones Ecologicas de las Yungas of Argentina has recently published a new edition entitled, Investigacion, Conservacion y Desarrollo en Selvas Subtropicales de Montana. This publication contains 26 articles authored by specialists of the region, with a range in diversity, including biology, anthropology, archaeology, geography, climate, agriculture and forest engineering. The book is available for $30, (including air mail postage), from: Miriam Roxana Aragon, LIEY, Casilla de Correo 34,(4107), Yerba Buena, Tucuman, Argentina.
