Full textAbstract:
Butterflies are creatures of nature with great economic importance as pollinators and bio-indicators. This study provides checklist of butterfly species present in Zoological and Botanical gardens of University of Nigeria, Nsukka and was conducted for three Months. Butterflies were sampled twice a week between 7.00 -10.00am from May to July 2019; using sweep net along existing transects within the gardens. Non-invasive method was adopted, butterflies were captured, photographed and released. Photographed samples were identified to species level by cross matching with relevant keys. A total of 91 butterflies belonging to 16 species, 10 genera and 3 families were sampled. Alpha diversity test showed a significant difference (p<0.05) in terms of Relative Abundance, Diversity and Dominance of butterfly species between the two gardens. The Botanical garden had Relative Abundance of 63.73%, Dominance of 0.23 which was higher compared to Zoological garden which had 36.16% and 0.10; but these was contrary to species diversity where Zoological garden was more diverse (H1=2.48) than botanical garden (H1=1.82). The differences observed could be attributed to variations in vegetation composition.

The management of biological invasions, which pose a growing threat to natural resources and human well-being, is critical for reducing associated negative impacts. As part of the process of developing a strategy for the management of biological invasions in the South African National Biodiversity Institute’s (SANBI) gardens, we collated a list of alien plant species from 13 gardens as part of a situational analysis. We requested lists of alien plant species recorded in each of the SANBI’s gardens. A total of 380 records included 225 alien plant species belonging to 73 families. A significant number of species were intentionally introduced through horticultural trade as ornamentals (49%; n = 225), while 20.9% were consumed as either food or medicine by humans. Plant life forms included woody and herbaceous plants, graminoids, succulents and ferns. Herbaceous (42.7%; n = 225) and woody plants (3.8%) were the dominant life forms. The Walter Sisulu National Botanical Garden had the highest number of alien species (88 species), followed by Kirstenbosch (61 species) and Pretoria (46 species) National Botanical Gardens, with herbaceous species constituting the largest number in all gardens (i.e., 47, 19, and 27 species, respectively). The number of species that we recorded that were listed in the National Environmental Management: Biodiversity Act (NEM: BA) (Act No. 10 of 2004): Alien and Invasive Species Regulations’ categories were not notably different from the number of unlisted species (58.2% vs. 42.8%). The number of species listed in the different categories varied significantly across the different gardens, with a significantly higher number of unlisted species and of Category 1b species in the Walter Sisulu, Kirstenbosch and Pretoria National Botanical Gardens than in other gardens. That a significantly larger number of alien species originated from South America points to the need to improve biosecurity controls on existing relations. The results of this study provided a baseline database to help comparison between successive surveys in future.

Full textAbstract:
Some facilities of education activities in south Germany botanical gardens and parks are presented in this article. Research was carried out in Munchen-Nymphenburg, Alpengarten Schachen and Augsburg botanical gardens, Munchen zoological garden, Munchen city parks (in the Museum of Man and Nature). The role of botanic gardens is as an advocate for the maintenance of biodiversity and therefore botanic gardens need to reorient their education programmes and incorporate a vision for a more socially and environmentally sustainable future. Botanic and zoo gardens can use a variety of techniques to convey these messages from guided tours, cultural activities and exhibitions to interpret signs and media such as the internet, radio, television and newspapers. Botanic gardens should develop and promote these institutions as centers for environmental education to schools and develop child-friendly policies and train staff in these policies, conduct regular audits to ensure that the gardens is 'child friendly' e. g. access points, eating areas, storage areas, activity/play areas. The subject areas covered by the Museum of Man and Nature are: the history of the earth and its forms of life, biodiversity, man’s place within the natural world, man’s role in shaping the natural world. The Museum presents an interesting and entertaining approach to natural science, in line with modern educational theory. Authentic natural objects, reproductions, models, interactive exhibits and audio-visual programs are employed to create a lively and stimulating setting. The section “Natural history playtime” successfully combines traditional and modern exhibits and appeals to young and old alike. Attractive exhibits and a convenient location make the Museum of Man and Nature a worthwhile destination for visitors of all ages. The official educational mission of this Museum “… to instruct and inform humans about themselves, their environment and about the threats to nature posed by technical civilization”. Key words: botanic garden, zoological garden, parks, education, natural science.

Full textAbstract:
Cienfuegos Botanical Garden is the oldest functioning botanical institution of Cuba. It was established originally as a joint endeavor between sugar magnate Edwin F. Atkins and Harvard University in 1901. Between 1925 and 1934, the research yacht Utowana performed ample plant germplasm collections for the USDA in the New and Old World as well as archeological and zoological surveys in the Neotropics. The botanical expeditions were conducted mostly, under the leadership of David Fairchild. In this contribution we review to what extent Utowana expeditions and collections were instrumental in building the living collections of Cienfuegos Botanical Garden. A total of 278 accessions (comprising 254 species) were introduced into this garden directly or indirectly through these expeditions. Currently 57 of these species (132 individuals) are still part of its living collections. Interestingly, five of the Caribbean expeditions of this research yacht carried plant material between the Cienfuegos Botanical Garden and two other botanic gardens that were operated by US entities, namely the Lancetilla Botanical Garden in Honduras (owned by the United Fruit Company) and the Summit Gardens in Panama City (managed by the Panama Canal governmental agency). Our study also shows that plant material collected during Utowana expeditions was sent from Old World and Caribbean Island botanic gardens to Cienfuegos Botanical Garden. Thomas Barbour, director of this botanical institution between 1927 and 1946 joined four of these plant hunting endeavors. He provided strong support for the growing of the Cienfuegos Botanical Garden living collections with plant material collected during Utowana expeditions.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Mycobacteria of the Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) pose a significant risk to zoological collections. Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) is a member of MAC and the causative agent of Johne’s disease. Despite many reports in animals kept in zoological gardens, systemic surveillance has rarely been reported. Methods: In this study, archived serum samples collected from animal species at the Wilhelma Zoological and Botanical Gardens in Stuttgart, Germany, were screened for the presence of antibodies against MAC and MAP. In addition, molecular investigations were performed on necropsy, fecal, and environmental samples. Results: In total, 30/381 serum samples of various mammalian species were positive for MAC antibodies in ELISA, while one sample of a reticulated giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis reticulata) was positive in MAP-specific ELISA. Samples from many species were positive in pan-Mycobacterium real-time PCR (40/43 fecal samples, 27/43 environmental samples, and 31/90 necropsy samples). Surprisingly, no sample was positive in the MAP-specific molecular assays. However, two environmental samples from primate enclosures were positive in Mycobacterium avium subspecies hominissuis (MAH)-specific real-time PCR. Conclusions: The results reveal serological indications of MAC infections in the zoological collection. However, the presence of a MAP-contaminated environment by a high-shedding individual animal or MAP-infected population is unlikely.

Full textAbstract:
The greenhouse camel cricket Tachycines asynamorus is an insect of the order Orthoptera, native to Eastern Asia. It was introduced to Europe and North America at the end of the 19th century, probably along with exotic plants imported to botanical gardens, orangeries, and horticultural farms. In the climatic conditions of Central and Northern Europe this insect is exclusively synanthropic, occurring mainly in greenhouses, hothouses, and other permanently heated rooms with high humidity. In Poland, the species has been reported in 24 sites since the beginning of the 20th century. No specific information confirming its occurrence in the country after 1984 has been found in the literature. The search for the greenhouse camel cricket conducted by the authors, along with responses to surveys sent out to scientific institutions and naturalists requesting reports of sightings of the species, enabled us to establish that in 1991– 2022 T. asynamorus occurred in Poland at 12 sites, mostly in greenhouses in botanical gardens and in aquaria and terraria buildings in zoological gardens. The presence of the species was confirmed at only one site known from the literature.

Full textAbstract:
The detailed evaluation of environmental parameters can be a great tool for the optimal selection and location of vegetable species, not only in vegetable production facilities and greenhouses but also in zoological and botanical gardens, which frequently maintain delicate and exotic plant species with strict environmental requirements in immersive exhibits where conditions can vary remarkably. This study, developed at an indoor zoological garden (Biodomo—Parque de las Ciencias de Granada, Spain), evaluates a sampling protocol for the determination of seven environmental parameters: daily light integral (DLI) was determined at nine different locations of the facility using a portable Light Quantum SQ-500 sensor; air temperature, atmospheric pressure, and air relative humidity were measured using a fixed ATMOS14 sensor; and soil temperature, soil water content, and soil conductivity were determined using a fixed TEROS12 sensor. Values recorded for DLI showed statistically significant variations across the nine different sampling locations, as well as between the different months in all sampling spots. Significant variations were also detected across the 12 months of study for the rest of environmental parameters evaluated, and correlations were found between the studied parameters, with the correlation between soil and air temperature the strongest (rs = 0.758) and soil temperature significantly superior to air temperature. The methodology described in this study can be easily reproduced in similar indoor zoological and botanical facilities, increasing the knowledge of the environmental conditions, and allowing corrections that could improve species selection, location, and management.

Full textAbstract:
The combination of animals and plants in zoological gardens provides the opportunity for conservation within the grounds. An example is pollination gardens that support free-moving butterflies and bees. Pollination gardens and other areas with plants also support a wide range of other non-captive animals, including soil-associated invertebrates. This study targeted land snails, a species-rich group that links the brown decomposition food web and the plant-based web that is preyed upon by fireflies and birds, among others. A survey of 24 sites within the Oklahoma City Zoo and Botanical Garden revealed a diverse snail fauna of 23 species. The majority were native species but included 10 non-native species that are common regional urban species, likely introduced through the plant trade. No distributional pattern of snails was evident, probably because of the similar management scheme throughout the zoo. Snails and other observed soil-associated invertebrates (e.g., isopods, millipedes, and earthworms) support non-captive birds and other animals. Lightly managed areas with leaf litter and downed wood are especially conducive to snails and other soil-associated invertebrates and are nesting sites for bees. These communities can form conservation demonstration areas that can be the basis of educational programs, including outreach programs.

This chapter discusses the renovation of the public glasshouses (Les Grandes Serres) at the Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle, Paris (MNHN) and particularly the creation of a glasshouse presenting the rich and unique flora of New Caledonia, a French overseas territory in the Pacific Ocean. The displays demonstrate past and current scientific studies carried out by MNHN researchers in all fields of natural history. Current concerns over the degradation of the biodiversity of the region have led to the decision taken by the Department of Botanical and Zoological Gardens to display this ecosystem. Five of the most threatened or important ecosystems of the archipelago have been recreated in the glasshouses and have full disabled access. The reopening of Les Grandes Serres was a landmark for the 2010 International Year of Biodiversity at MNHN.

Full textAbstract:
The discovery of new worlds with their exotic faunas was part of European life during the fifteenth to nineteenth centuries. Animals representing these faunas were shipped to European menageries from the earliest discovery of the new worlds, and increased significantly during this time period with shipments to menageries throughout the world. The exchange of these exotic faunas was carried out in many different ways and was facilitated by natural history networks comprised of individuals and institutions involved in commercial, agricultural and scientific activities. Colonial menageries, first in the form of animal holding areas or acclimatization farms and later in the form of zoos, were initially dependant on the various company networks supporting botanical collecting stations. Later they were the result of official and quasi-official government efforts. These efforts evolved into the modern colonial zoological gardens. The exhibition of exotic faunas, the utilization of commercially important exotic species, and the acclimatization of domestic breeds to colonial conditions were all part of the great zoological exchange that began as a trickle in the fifteenth century and increased significantly to a flood by the nineteenth century.

Full textAbstract:
This article is concerned with representations of insects and insect habitats in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Dutch art and print culture. It adopts an eco-critical approach, with an eye toward multispecies studies. The article considers the ecologically conceived image of bees, butterflies, and other insects gathering pollen from a wide range of flowering plant life in Theo van Hoytema’s lithograph announcing the Biological Exhibition: the Life of Plants and Animals held in 1910 at the Royal Zoological Botanical Gardens in The Hague. This closely observed water’s-edge environment is considered in the context of the wider body of works on paper done by Van Huitema especially during the seminal period of the 1890s, and within the growing print culture surrounding the Dutch naturalist and environmental movements in the early years of the twentieth century.

Full textAbstract:
A through study was conducted on the basking behaviour of some nymphalid butterflies in the fields of Bhawal national park, Rema-Kalenga, Zoological and Botanical Gardens of the University of Dhaka. The time budget and the wing-posture activities of butterflies during basking period were studied butterfly species under the family Nymphalidae. The experimental species were Junonia atlites, J. almana, J. iphita, Neptis soma, Labadea martha, Ergolis ariadne, Phalantha phalantha, Hypolimnas bolina and Athyma perius. Different types of wing postures (viz. appressed, horizontal, angled and closed type) were also recorded. It is found that butterflies take more time for their basking during winter season. Most of them prefer the month of November and December for their basking. The observations reveal that thermal basking increases the temperature in the butterfly body. It directly implies how thermoregulation associated with behavioural activities in different abiotic conditions. The results also showed the importance of wing postures for thermoregulation.J.

An attempt was made to examine butterfly proboscis length and their significance in carrying out activities of the butterflies in relation to their nectar plants. Observations were made in seven selected areas (viz. Satchari, Modhupur, Rema-kalenga, Shaltila, Bhawal National Park, and Botanical and Zoological gardens of the Curzon hall area) from July 2014 to June 2015. Thirty four butterfly species of seven families, viz. Hesperiidae, Nymphalidae, Danaidae, Papilionidae, Pieridae, Lycaenidae and Satyridae, were observed. The strategic activities of proboscis in different butterflies were examined when they were used in foraging activity. The proboscis length of butterflies was measured during the study period. Nectar plants were identified in the laboratory. The corolla length of the nectar plants was measured in the field and found a good relation with the proboscis length of the butterflies. Among the observed species, hesperiid butterflies comparatively contain long proboscis, and can visit flowers up to 28 mm long corolla tube. The results obtained, indicate that the butterfly proboscis had significant role in co-evolution between the butterfly species and the flowers of the nectar plants.J. Biodivers. Conserv. Bioresour.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose Participatory design strategy through post-occupancy evaluation of built assets is a feedback mechanism into the design process. This paper draws upon a wider empirical study that aims at evaluating the University Campus Open Spaces (UCOS) of six federal universities in South-west Nigeria. The purpose of this paper is to generate evidence-based design toolkits for UCOS towards spanning of disconnects between designers and users thereby revisiting and revitalizing their design criteria. Design/methodology/approach A sample (n=3,016) of users was drawn in a cross-sectional survey through stratified random method. The research instrument was a structured questionnaire in multiple choice and Likert-type scales. The data obtained were subjected to statistical techniques. Findings Results show that males use the UCOS for active and passive recreation than females. The UCOS are male dominated because the females have higher concerns for lack of safety and inclement weather. Both genders have equal preference for sitting. “Group academic” activities are at peak in the “afternoon”, while “being alone” takes place in the “evening” and “personal academic” in the “morning”. Safety is primary to zoological and botanical gardens. Social interaction spaces enhance successful recreation parks. Coherence and legibility are the highest cognitive satisfaction factors for pedestrian sidewalks. Practical implications The research generated design requirements for UCOS, and it is important for informing better design solutions in the future. Originality/value The results are synthesized into three-in-two new frameworks to guide future design actions for innovative strategies between design and use/operational phases.

Aim. The aim of the work is to create a thematic map of National Parks and protected areas of Ukraine using GIS technologies. The objectives of the work are to propose a technological scheme of mapping of National parks and protected areas of Ukraine using GIS technologies and to describe the methodology of this mapping. Method. The first step was to search for input data and analyze them. Since the data was obtained from free online services, their geometric correction did not make sense, as they were already bound in the coordinate system WGS_1984. The following 11 layers were then vectorized: nature reserves, biosphere reserves, nature parks, regional landscape parks, reserves, natural monuments, protected tracts, botanical gardens, dendrological parks, zoological parks, parks-monuments of landscape art. An attribute database with the following structure is created for each vector layer: Name – name of the protected area, Oblast – location (region of Ukraine), Area – area of the territory (ha), Type – type of protected area according to the classification. Different symbols of protected objects are designed for each vector layer. In the future, it is planned to compile an atlas of National Parks and Protected Areas of Ukraine based on the created GIS. Results. As a result of this goal, we obtained a thematic map of National Parks and protected areas of Ukraine, which consists of 11 vector layers according to the classification of nature reserves of Ukraine and contains 1204 objects for which the corresponding attribute tables have been created. Practical significance. The practical significance of this work is quite high, because orderly, systematized spatial and attributive information will: help in resolving issues of land management and recreation; improving management efficiency; to promote the provision and development of scientific activity; to improve the information and educational functioning of the objects of the nature reserve fund, etc.

Full textAbstract:
According to the results of the study of the nature protection aspect of the russian-Ukrainian war, it was established that since 2014, the russian federation illegally captured and destroyed about 500 objects of the nature reserve fund of Ukraine, with a total area of over 1.2 million hectares. Came under occupation 3 Biosphere Reserves, 14 Nature Reserves, 19 National Natural Parks, dozens Regional Landscape Parks, hundreds Reserves, Sights Nature, Reserve Tracts, Botanical gardens, Dendrological parks, Zoological parks and Parks-sights of garden and park art. Famous protected objects suffered from russian military aggression: Biosphere Reserve «Askania-Nova», Chornomorskyi Biosphere Reserve, National Natural Parks «Slobozhanskyi», «Gomilshan Lisy», «Svyati Hory», «Meotida», «Oleshkivsʹki Pisky», Nature Reserve «Khomutovsky Step». Practically all types of biodiversity in the protected areas have been destroyed, unique landscapes are disturbed, the scientific achievements of specialists of nature-reserved objects were liquidated or exported. Cases of mining of protected areas have been recorded, uncontrolled deforestation, destruction of rare species of flora and fauna, etc.
At the first stage of military aggression, in 2014, russia illegally occupied 100% of the natural reserve fund of the Crimean peninsula, 25.2% of the nature reserve fund of Donetsk region and 23.8% of the nature reserve fund of Luhansk region. In the second stage of aggression and full-scale war against Ukraine, from February 24, 2022, the russian federation completely seized all territories and objects of the nature reserve fund of Donetsk and Luhansk regions, as well as a significant part of valuable nature conservation of Kyiv, Sumy, Chernihiv, Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson regions. As of September 1, 2022, a large part of the territory of Ukraine, including nature conservation areas, is freed from occupation. But it is still quite difficult to assess the damage caused to the national nature reserve fund. Therefore, the prospect of further scientific-practical research remains the assessment of damage caused to protected objects and territories in the east and south of Ukraine.

Full textAbstract:
The article is devoted to the identification of the recreational potential of the city of Odessa for the development of tourism. For this, the analysis of the existing landscape and rec-reational areas of the city was carried out using the general plan of Odessa (DIPROMISTO, in 2015), DBN B.2.2-12: 2019 “Planning and development of territories” and “Methods for deter-mining the recreational capacity of resorts and recreation areas” (by T. Panchenko). It has been es-tablished that the results of assessing the recreational potential of Odessa make up 20% of the total city territory, which suggests that almost all types of landscape and recreational territories are scarce and disordered, especially in the coastal zone. The capacity of coastal recreation areas on the seashore (near the beach and water area) is set based on the size of the beach area (W1) and the length of the coastal strip (W2). The results show that on the seaside coast of Odessa at the same time on the beach can be more than 53 thou-sand vacationers, although every season the beach recreation area is visited by more than 75 thou-sand people (city residents and tourists), which is not enough for the development of tourism in the city. All this testifies to a huge shortage of coastal recreation areas on the seaside coast of Odessa. Thus, as a result of assessing the recreational potential of coastal common areas, using the example of the city of Odessa, it was revealed: 1. Greening of public areas, namely parks, gardens, squares, pedestrian boulevards, are not evenly distributed throughout the city in relation to the general territory and administrative districts of the city. This is a prerequisite for the use of other territories, including abandoned economic plots in these areas, for new recreational areas, as well as for the rehabilitation of existing parks in a depressed state. For example, an increase in the recrea-tional territories of the Malinovsky district makes it possible to rehabilitate the Savitsky and Dyu-kovsky parks. On the territory of the Suvorov District – restoration and modernization of the exist-ing Luzanovka Hydropark; the creation of specialized parks on the “Fields of irrigation and filtra-tion” (landscape, zoological and botanical) on “Zhevakhov Mountain” – the organization of an open-air museum of architecture and life, a park of architectural miniatures, a golf course. 2. The huge shortage of coastal recreation areas on the seaside coast of Odessa and the lack of free access of the population to the entire coastline makes it possible to reorganize the coastal territory using the abandoned territories of “Irrigation and filtration fields” (Khadzhibey estuary), “Meat-packing plant” and “Odessilmash” for organizing seaside pedestrian boulevards, promenades and public beaches. Also on the territory of “Meat-packing plant” and “Odessilmash” it is possible to create exhibition, sports parks and attractions.

Full textAbstract:
This study expands and supplements the knowledge of aquatic molluscs of selected public greenhouses, especially in zoological and botanical gardens, in the Czech Republic. In total, 14 freshwater species were found at 23 sites situated mostly in botanical and zoological gardens. Freshwater molluscs were divided into four groups: species occurring in the Czech Republic only in greenhouses, non-native species living also in the wild, native species and alien genotypes of native species. The most frequent mollusc of greenhouses was Physella acuta (Draparnaud). Melanoides tuberculata (O. F. Müller) and Helisoma cf. duryi (Wetherby) of the first group were other very common and widespread greenhouse species. On the other hand Marisa cornuarietis (Linnaeus), Bithynia tentaculata (Linnaeus), Lymnaea stagnalis (Linnaeus), Gyraulus crista (Linnaeus) and Ferrissia californica (Rowell) were found at only one studied site.

"The influence of anthropogenic pressure on the structure of communities of parasitoids of the Pimplinae subfamily (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidae) inhabiting urban green areas." Progress in Plant Protection 63, no. 4 (2023): 213–23. http://dx.doi.org/10.14199/ppp-2023-022.
Full textAbstract:
Urban green areas have favourable conditions for the development of phytophagous species, which feed on plants and thus reduce their aesthetic value. The population of plant pests can be limited by parasitoids of the Pimplinae subfamily. The aim of this study was to determine the influence of low, medium, and high anthropogenic pressure on the qualitative and quantitative structure of Pimplinae communities inhabiting urban green areas and to determine the influence of this pressure on the catchability of insects. The research was conducted between 2014 and 2016 in allotment gardens, Botanical Garden and Zoological Garden in the city of Poznań, using the method of catching adult insects in yellow Moericke traps. The research showed that the richness of plant species had the greatestinfluence on the qualitative and quantitative structure of Pimplinae communities, whereas the size of the area, distance from the city centre, and the intensity of air pollution exerted lesser influence.

Full textAbstract:
Environmental problems of Transcarpathia recreational zones were studied. The unique geoeconomic location, landscapes diversity and picturesque sceneries contribute to the development of tourism in the region. The main recreational areas of the region are both the Carpathian Mountains and the Transcarpathian Lowland. By types of activity, the recreational areas of Transcarpathia can be divided into natural (water, climatic, landscape, air, balneological, geological, geographical), natural anthropogenic (ski resorts, health and treatment areas, dendrological parks) anthropogenic (historical and cultural, zoos, animal farms, botanical gardens).
Natural recreational areas, resorts and health centers are influenced by the greatest anthropogenic impact. Every year the tourism industry uses more and more natural areas and resources, creates special natural and social landscapes. Spontaneous and irrational use of such areas creates several environmental problems associated with damage, pollution and early depletion of recreational resources. Negative destructive changes occurring in recreational areas often lead to the degradation of the natural object.
Unorganized tourism causes great damage to the environment. Disastrous environmental problems are the result of unauthorized placement of recreation centers, illegal hunting or fishing, harvesting wild herbs, berries and medicinal plants, mushrooms, cones, harvesting birch sap, unauthorized lighting of fires, collecting botanical and zoological species, etc.
Depletion of natural resources and environmental pollution are negative factors that most disrupt the ecological state of recreational areas of Transcarpathia. First of all, it is manifested in uncontrolled deforestation, soil erosion, air pollution from road emissions, and so on. To preserve the satisfactory ecological state of the main recreational areas of Transcarpathia, preservation of landscapes and biological diversity of the region, it is necessary to implement a set of measures.
Priority actions to maintain the quality of the natural environment of the region must include not only permitting and prohibitive measures, but also measures aimed at restoring and improving the state of natural resources and minimizing the negative anthropogenic impact on the environment.
The development of organized ecological tourism is an effective way to solve the ecological problems of recreational areas of Transcarpathia.
Organized ecological tourism can provide financial support for environmental protection and increase the importance of unique natural areas.

Abstract. Kurnia I, Arief H, Mardiastuti A, Hermawan R. 2021. The potential of bird diversity in the urban landscape for birdwatching in Java, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 22: 1701-1711. Birdwatching is a recreational activity of observing birds in the wild with the naked eye¸ using tools such as telescopes and binoculars, or listening to bird sounds. The observation locations can be either natural landscape or urban landscapes with bird diversity. However, the dominance of built spaces and man-made vegetation differed from natural landscapes. This difference will affect the composition of birds found in the urban landscape. This paper aimed to analyze bird diversity in urban landscapes and their potential for birdwatching. The research was conducted from February to April 2020 in five cities in Java (Bogor, Sukabumi, Bandung, Yogyakarta, Surabaya). Bird data were taken using the IPA method and were carried out in 85 green open spaces. Total bird species found were 75 species, with the largest number found in Bogor (66 species), followed by Surabaya (36 species), Bandung (28 species), Sukabumi (26 species), and Yogyakarta (19 species). The locations with the highest species richness in each city are Bogor Botanical Gardens (53 species), Cikundul Agrotourism Area Sukabumi (18 species), Bandung Zoological Garden (21 species), Gembira Loka Zoo (14 species), and Pakal City Forest Surabaya (20 species). Commonly seen bird species are dominated by generalist species typical of urban landscapes (e.g., Collocalia linchi, Passer montanus, and Pycnonotus aurigaster). Bird species richness has a positive correlation with the local area and habitat diversity. A total of 74 bird species are resident species that can be found throughout the year as birdwatching objects. Only one species are migrant species namely Merops philippinus.

Full textAbstract:
Charles Herbert Lankester (1879-1969) was without a doubt the most dominant figure of Central American orchidology during his time. Better known as ‘Don Carlos’, Lankester was born in Southampton, England, on June 14 1879. It was in London that he read an announcement offering a position to work as an assistant to the recently founded Sarapiquí Coffee Estates Company in Costa Rica, he applied and was hired. Surely influenced by his uncle’s zoological background, Lankester was at first interested in birds and butterflies. However, living in Cachí, at that time one of the regions with the greatest botanical diversity, he must have fallen under the spell of the plant world as he soon began collecting orchids in the nearby woods. Many of the plants he collected at this time proved to be new species. With no literature at his hand to determine the plants he collected, Lankester started corresponding with the assistant director of the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew, Arthur Hill in 1910, and somewhat later with Robert Allen Rolfe, Kew’s most eminent authority on orchids. At the same time, Lankester began his collection of living plants that would become so famous years later. He returned to England in 1920 to enroll his five children in English schools. Lankester traveled to Africa from 1920 to 1922, hired by the British Government to do research on coffee plantations in Uganda. When returning to England, he found that Rolfe had died the year before. Many orchids that he had brought to Kew were left without identification. Lankester was back in Costa Rica in 1922, the year that was a turning point in his career as an orchidologist: it brought the first correspondence with Oakes Ames. Over the next fifteen years, Ames would discover more than 100 new species among the specimens he received from Costa Rica. In 1922, Ames began a series of publications on orchids, which he named Schedulae Orchidianae. In its third fascicle, in January 1923, Ames started to describe many of the Lankester orchids, which were deposited at Kew and had been left unidentified. Ames kept asking Lankester to send more and more specimens. After 1930, Lankester and Ames seem to drift slowly apart. Ames was taken in more by administrative work at Harvard, and Lankester traveled abroad more frequently. In 1955, after his wife’s death and already 76 years old, Lankester decided to sell his farm but retained the small part which contained his garden, a piece of land called “El Silvestre”. Lankester moved to a house he had bought in Moravia, one of the suburbs of the capital, San José. On a section of this farm called “El Silvestre”, Lankester began his wonderful collections of orchids and plants of other families, which formed the basis of the Charles H. Lankester Botanical Garden of the University of Costa Rica.
