Experimental Survey

The deep-sea sharks associated as by-catch of the Madeiran midwater drifting longline fishery for scabbardfishes (Aphanopus spp.) were investigated by means of an experimental survey at 800-1200 m depth within the Canary Islands Exclusive Economic Zone, whose fishing grounds have been exploited during the past 15 years. Nine species of chondrichthyans were identified, belonging to five families: Pseudotriakidae, Centrophoridae, Etmopteridae, Somniosidae and Chimaeridae. Data on length, weight and sex ratio for the 436 chondrichthyan individuals caught in the March 2009 survey are given. Several voucher specimens of each species caught were deposited in the collections of the Natural History Museum of Funchal.

Veronica subgen. Pseudolysimachium is a group of 30 species ranging across northern Eurasia in various open habitats from dry steppe to swamps. It includes several horticulturally important species that have been crossed in the past. As such, it exemplifies a group with long taxonomic tradition, exemplified by more than 600 valid names, which also indicates its variability. In the process of identifying the evolutionary important units, molecular markers have started to help immensely. However, assigning names to identified significant groups of populations has been hindered by problems in typification. Here, we try to alleviate the problem for the taxa in southeastern Europe, which have been analyzed rigorously using AFLP fingerprints in the past, by lectotypifying 11 names and neotypifying four names, mostly based on specimens found in the Hungarian Natural History Museum Budapest (BP). This allowed revising Veronica barrelieri with its three subspecies and synonyms.

This volume is dedicated to the Anthropological and Ethnological section of the Natural History Museum. First the historical journey of the collections is traced from the antique nucleus of the Medici to the foundation of the National Museum of Anthropology and Ethnology, when Florence was the capitol of Italy, and the discipline of anthropology was born. The second part illustrates the multivariate collections from all over the globe. They are a precious record of the past and present biological and cultural diversity of our species opening wide horizons that rigorously connect science to the many faces of human culture, including art. The third section is dedicated to current research and opens new prospectives on the significance of ethnological and anthropological collections due to new technology and in light of a new appreciation of the museum as a living “zone of contact”.

It is my first duty to refer to Fellows who have recently passed away. George Albert Boulenger was a student of the University of Brussels, his native city. He began at a very early age the study of reptiles, batrachians and fishes in the Natural History Museum at Brussels, and in 1880 became assistant naturalist there. In 1882, he was appointed a first class assistant in the Department of Zoology in the British Museum; he held this position until he retired in 1920. He has been described as a man of tremendous energy, an extremely methodical mind, and an amazing memory. These qualities were the foundation of the vast amount of work which he accomplished. He was one of the most distinguished of the descriptive biologists who have brought fame to the British Museum during the past hundred years. His most important contributions to science were the series of elaborate and detailed monographs, mostly published by the Museum. These still remain the basis of modern systematic work. They dealt with the groups of life which had interested him from the beginning, the batrachians, fishes, lizards, snakes and so forth. Thanks to his energy as a collector and as a stimulator of collectors, the Museum is rich in its possessions of these types; for example, it possesses an unparalleled collection of fresh water fishes. Boulenger was elected a Fellow in 1894 and served on the Council from 1903 to 1905. He was for some years a Vice-president of the Zoological Society and received many honours at home and abroad. He was naturalized in this country. Towards the end of his long life he forsook his reptiles and for twenty years devoted himself to the study of roses.

New information on deep-water Cirripedia obtained during project surveys and experimental cruises in the Canary Islands region (NE Atlantic) have been analysed and collated with literature data. This annotated checklist includes 32 species of the Cirripedia Thoracica; four of them are recorded for the first time from the Canaries:Poecilasma aurantia,Poecilasma crassa,Heteralepas microstomaandAurivillialepas falcata. Information on the barnacles’ animal hosts in the area is also updated and compiled for the first time.

The amphibian database of the Centre for Wildlife Studies of Kerala Agricultural University has the data that are either available as voucher specimens with the Kerala Agricultural University Natural History Museum (KAUNHM) or as photo vouchers and other opportunistic records from Kerala part of the southern Western Ghats between 2008 and 2020. This repository holds information on 91 species of amphibians belonging to 10 families, of which 87% are endemic to the Western Ghats and 34% are classified under the IUCN Red List threatened categories.  This study highlights the significance of such digital databases that can serve as an immense source of regional biodiversity data, and therefore, biodiversity monitoring and conservation.
