Ethiopia does not often receive publicity for its wildlife conservation work, but there have been a commendable number of achievements over the last 15 years or so. For the last two years the author has been carrying out ecological studies to formulate management plans in the Bale Mountains area, which is in the process of being established as a national park. As a result of the developments and protection already afforded, numbers of the endemic mountain nyala have increased considerably.

Ecological Studies

The Kruger National Park (KNP), Republic of South Africa, is one of the most intensively studied areas of Africa. Underlying the management practices for such a Park as well as broad-based ecological studies, is a thorough knowledge of the diversity and distribution of the fauna and flora under conservation.

Conservation Of Biodiversity

Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park in south-west Sumatra is one of the largest protected areas in Sumatra and thus of considerable importance to the conservation of biodiversity in Indonesia. Until recently, little was known of the wildlife in the park. The authors' surveys document the presence of an intact community of the birds and mammals known to occur in lowland Sumatran rain forests. While hunting and collection of forest products threaten a number of plant and animal species in the park, the primary threat to the park's integrity is from agricultural encroachment and expansion of enclaves beyond their boundaries. The future survival of Bukit Barisan National Park and its wildlife requires that active measures be taken to curb non-sustainable exploitation of plants and wildlife. It will also be necessary to resolve land-use conflicts with communities in, and adjacent to, the park.

Abstract Faunistic and ecological studies on saproxylic Collembola species were carried out in the Wigry National Park (NE Poland). Nine sites representing Tilio-Carpinetum, Serratulo-Pinetum and Peucedano-Pinetum habitats each including three different levels of disturbance were visited twice in 2015. Samples from fallen logs in different stages of decay, neighboring litter and soil as well as arboreal epiphytes were taken on each visit. The Collembola specimens were then extracted using Tullgren funnels resulting in a total of 73 838 specimens from 270 samples. Specimen identification revealed the occurrence of 63 species, including 5 saproxylobiontic, 7 saproxylophilous, 4 xerophilous species living in epiphytic mosses and lichens as well as 47 hemiedaphic or euedaphic species. This composition of saproxylic fauna seems to be typical for the region with the most diverse assemblages being found in Tilio-Carpinetum habitats, while Serratulo-Pinetum and Peucedano-Pinetum are clearly less diverse. Additionally, a slight decrease in the number of Collembola species with increasing forest disturbance was observed. Furthermore, an increase in the number of Collembola species with the degree of dead wood decomposition was also found. This indicates that saproxylic springtail assemblages are sensitive to anthropogenic changes.

Research Studies

Abstract Ecological studies of reptiles in Java were rarely executed during the last decade, because many scientist have focused exclusively on taxonomical studies. Also, studies about diversity of reptiles which have been heretofore published mostly incorporated with amphibians, and nearly all of those studies concerning in unravel the diversity of amphibians. In Bodogol, Gede- Pangrango National Park, survey about reptiles diversity have been done frequently, but just few researches that have been published and most of all were short term research studies. Hence, a research that concern in studying diversity of reptiles become valuable to carry out. Herein, we studied the diversity of reptiles in Bodogol during November 2011 to March 2012. Reptiles’ species were collected by searching in available trail other than Tangkil, Cipanyairan I, and Cipanyairan II. Total of twenty three species of reptiles were found, encompassing six families (Colubridae, Elapidae, Viperidae, Scincidae, Agamidae, and  Gekkonidae).  Number  species of reptiles occured in Bodogol were quite similar to other largest nature reserve areas within the same geographic range (e.g. Halimun-Salak and Ujung Kulon National Park). Despite its small in size, Bodogol contains various types of habitat which therefore could support a variety species of reptiles.   Key words : bodogol, diversity, reptiles, java

Oribatid Mite Species

During ecological studies carried out in the Drawa National Park, an oribatid mite species, Xenillus salamoni Mahunka 1996 (Liacaridae), new for Poland was found. This species is known only from Hungary and from the Central Alps and it is considered as xerophilous and a forest taxon. Additionally, a key to the identification of European Xenillus species was prepared.
