Full textAbstract:
Abstract Cloud trails are primarily thermally forced bands of cloud that extend downwind of small islands. A novel algorithm to classify conventional geostationary visible-channel satellite images as cloud trail (CT), nontrail (NT), or obscured (OB) is defined. The algorithm is then applied to the warm season months of five years at Bermuda comprising 16 400 images. Bermuda’s low elevation and location make this island ideal for isolating the role of the island thermal contrast on CT formation. CTs are found to occur at Bermuda with an annual cycle, peaking in July, and a diurnal cycle that peaks in midafternoon. Composites of radiosonde observations and ERA-Interim data suggest that a warm and humid low-level environment is conducive for CT development. From a Lagrangian perspective, wind direction modulates CT formation by maximizing low-level heating on local scales when winds are parallel to the long axis of the island. On larger scales, low-level wind direction also controls low-level humidity through advection.

Abstract Exploitation, escape of introduced exotic species, and insect epidemics have combined to cause the loss of valued Juniperus bermudiana stands on the Atlantic islands. The inability to reestablish stands of the internationally classified endangered species because of social constraints has also altered the island biome. Taxonomic confusion, the symbiotic role of earthworms and "cedars," and the calciphilous nature of junipers are discussed.

AbstractThe 183 species of Lepidoptera recorded from Bermuda are discussed with respect to their world distribution, origin, long-range dispersal capability, host plants, nomenclature, and the circumstances of their occurrence in Bermuda; most are illustrated. Fifty-nine species are reported from Bermuda for the first time; Oenobotys invinacealis Ferguson (Pyralidae) and Tetanolita mynesalis inaequalis Ferguson (Noctuidae) are described as new. Four new genus–species combinations and four new synonymies are proposed.The Bermuda islands have a distressed fauna dominated by introduced pest species and migrants from the North American mainland and Caribbean Region. About 125 of the 183 recorded species are thought to be established residents; the remainder are assumed to be vagrants. Of approximately 50 resident species identified as probably indigenous, 11 species and three subspecies are endemic, and one of these, Semiothisa ochrifascia (Warren), is believed extinct.All Bermudian Lepidoptera are of American origin except the few introduced Old World species that are nearly cosmopolitan. Like Norfolk Island, Australia, Bermuda has a supersaturated lepidopterous fauna — more recorded species than its land area might support, which can be explained only by a high incidence of migrants and transients. This migratory component is explained relative to long-range movements of the same or congeneric species elsewhere; and hypotheses are proposed concerning the natural history of long-range dispersal in eastern North America and the ability of these moths to reach Bermuda. From a list of 113 species of Lepidoptera identified as frequent south–north migrants on the mainland, 76 are recorded from Bermuda. These include 38 of the 40 best-known cutworm moths of the eastern United States. It is argued that such moths reach Bermuda repeatedly without man's assistance and must regularly travel similar distances in North America.

Abstract Human colonization on oceanic islands typically has disastrous consequences for indigenous flora and fauna. Since settlement in 1612, the native evergreen forest on the island of Bermuda has been fragmented by development and largely replaced by exotic trees, with unclear consequences for woodland birds. We quantified the number of woodland birds using modified point counts in 28 woodlands on Bermuda, from 24 March to 9 April 2014. We examined the impact of woodland size and vegetation features on total species richness and abundance of resident and non-resident woodland birds, and on abundance of the Bermuda population of White-eyed Vireos (Vireo griseus bermudianus). Woodland area had significant positive relationships with total species richness, total woodland bird abundance, and abundance of White-eyed Vireos. Similarly, species richness and abundance of non-resident woodland birds significantly increased with woodland area. None of the vegetation characteristics explained any of the woodland bird abundance metrics. Our results suggest that larger woodlands are essential habitats for supporting diverse and large communities of resident and non-resident woodland birds in Bermuda. Our study also highlights the adaptability of woodland birds, particularly the White-eyed Vireo, to exotic vegetation.

Resumen Efectos del tamaño del parche de bosque y la vegetación en paseriformes residentes y no residentes en Bermudas—La colonización de islas oceánicas por el hombre tiene consecuencias desastrosas para la flora y la fauna indígenas. Desde el asentamiento en 1612, los bosques siempreverdes de las islas Bermudas han sido fragmentados por la urbanización y reemplazados principalmente por especies exóticas, con consecuencias poco claras para las aves de bosque. Desde el 24 de marzo al 9 de abril de 2014, este grupo de aves fue monitoreado con puntos de conteo modificados en 28 parches de bosque en Bermudas. Examinamos el impacto del tamaño del parche de bosque y las características de la vegetación en la riqueza de especies total, la abundancia de las aves de bosque residentes y no residentes y la abundancia de la población de Bermudas de Vireo griseus bermudianus. El tamaño del parche de bosque tuvo un efecto positivo significativo con la riqueza y la abundancia de especies totales y la abundancia de Vireo griseus bermudianus. De igual manera, la riqueza de especies total y la abundancia de aves de bosque no residentes aumentaron significativamente con el tamaño del parche de bosque. Ninguna de las características de la vegetación fue capaz de explicar los valores de abundancia de las aves de bosque. Nuestros resultados sugieren que parches de bosque más grandes son hábitats esenciales para mantener comunidades grandes y diversas de aves de bosque residentes y no residentes en Bermudas. Nuestro estudio también destaca la adaptabilidad de estos grupos, particularmente de Vireo griseus bermudianus, a la vegetación introducida.

Résumé Taille des zones forestières et effets de la végétation sur les oiseaux forestiers résidents et non résidents aux Bermudes — La colonisation humaine des îles océaniques a généralement eu des conséquences désastreuses sur la flore et la faune indigènes. Depuis la colonisation de l’île des Bermudes en 1612, la forêt sempervirente indigène a été fragmentée par le développement et largement remplacée par des arbres exotiques, ce qui a eu des conséquences incertaines sur les oiseaux forestiers. Nous avons quantifié le nombre d’oiseaux forestiers par des comptages par points modifiés dans 28 zones forestières des Bermudes, du 24 mars au 9 avril 2014. Nous avons examiné l’impact de surface forestière et des caractéristiques de la végétation sur la richesse spécifique totale et l’abondance des oiseaux forestiers résidents et non résidents, ainsi que sur l’abondance de la population du Viréo aux yeux blancs, sous-espèce des Bermudes (Vireo griseus bermudianus). Il existe une corrélation positive significative de la surface forestière avec la richesse spécifique totale, l’abondance totale des oiseaux forestiers et l’abondance du Viréo aux yeux blancs. De même, la richesse spécifique et l’abondance des oiseaux forestiers non résidents augmentent de manière significative avec la superficie forestière. Aucune des caractéristiques de la végétation n’explique les mesures de l’abondance des oiseaux forestiers. Nos résultats suggèrent que les grandes forêts sont des habitats essentiels pour le soutien des communautés diverses et importantes d’oiseaux forestiers résidents et non résidents aux Bermudes. Notre étude souligne également la capacité d’adaptation des oiseaux forestiers, en particulier du Viréo aux yeux blancs, à la présence d’une végétation exotique.

AbstractThe Bermudian rock lizard or skink Eumeces longirostris is categorized as Critically Endangered on the 2000 IUCN Red List. Skinks are vulnerable to habitat loss, introduction of non-native species and mortality caused by discarded bottles and cans that act as selfbaiting traps. This study describes the population characteristics of the Bermudian skink on two islands of the Bermudian archipelago: Nonsuch and Southampton islands. Nonsuch Island is a nature reserve but has populations of introduced lizards of the genus Anolis, lizard-eating birds and (a new finding) the cane toad Bufo marinus. Southampton Island is relatively isolated and has no introduced species. The skink population on Nonsuch Island was not investigated in detail, but appears to be small, localized to human habitation (where cover and food scraps are available) and dominated by large, old (some possibly >27 years) animals that exhibit high mutilation rates. Breeding occurs, but survival to adulthood appears poor. All of neighbouring Southampton Island was intensively trapped, with traps placed at the intersections of a 10-m grid. The population was estimated by mark–recapture trials to be c. 400 adults and juveniles; hatchlings are insectivorous and not susceptible to trapping. The population on Southampton Island is currently the largest known on Bermuda and appears to be viable; sustained isolation from predators and people is essential to its maintenance.

In September 1621, Governor Nathaniel Butler of Bermuda was woken in the middle of the night to hear a report that one hundred Spaniards had landed on the west part of the islands. Bermuda had long been at risk of attack because of its close proximity to the homebound route of the Spanish treasure fleet, so Butler understandably went on the defensive. He ordered the manning of several forts and repaired to the landing area with twenty armed men, expecting to pick up additional strength along the way. Rather than find an invading enemy, Butler and his men found a group of Portuguese and Spanish men, women, and children, whose ship—the 300-tonne, Portuguese-owned San Antonio—had been separated from the treasure fleet by a bad storm and wrecked upon the rocks ten miles west of the islands. Saving what goods they could carry, most of the castaways made their way to Mangrove Bay at the north part of Somerset Island in a small cockboat.

Abstract The Bermuda Islands, a 57-km² atoll-like archipelago located at 32°19'N, 64°45'W, are the only truly oceanic islands in the northwestern Atlantic. Accounts of seabirds nesting at the time of settlement in the early 17th century suggest that several tern species, including the Brown Noddy (Anous stolidus), Sooty Tern (Onychoprion fuscatus), Bridled Tern (O. anaethetus), Least Tern (Sternula antillarum), Roseate Tern (Sterna dougallii), and Common Tern (S. hirundo), might have been nesting on the islands. By the time that scientific documentation began in the mid-19th century, only the Roseate and Common Terns were confirmed to have survived, but overzealous collecting extirpated the Roseate Tern. The Common Tern survived into the 20th century and with legal protection has continued to nest on small rocky islets in sheltered sounds and harbors; one pair of Roseate Terns recolonized in 2018. This paper reviews historic records of terns, together with recent observations of transient migrants and nest-prospecting vagrants, including data from a 69-yr study of Common Terns (DBW unpubl. data), combined with data of other observers. These records provide some indication of the species that nested in Bermuda in pre-colonial times and which might be most amenable to restoration using modern conservation techniques. They also shed some light on the processes and timespans for recolonizations of remote oceanic islands by seabirds following their extirpation by humans.

Resumen Revisión histórica de la información sobre la nidificación de gaviotas (Sterninae) en Bermudas, con perspectivas de restablecer algunas de las especies perdidas—Las islas Bermudas, un archipiélago similar a un atolón de 57 km² y ubicado a 32°19'N, 64°45'W, son las únicas islas verdaderamente oceánicas en el Atlántico noroccidental. Los relatos sobre la nidificación de aves marinas en el momento del asentamiento, a principios del siglo XVII, sugieren que varias especies de gaviotas como Anous stolidus, Onychoprion fuscatus, O. anaethetus, Sternula antillarum, Sterna dougallii y Sterna hirundo podrían haber estado nidificando en las islas. En el momento en que comenzó la documentación científica a mediados del siglo XIX, se confirmó que sólo habían sobrevivido S. dougallii y S. hirundo; pero la recolección excesiva extirpó la primera de estas especies. S. hirundo sobrevivió hasta el siglo XX y con protección legal ha seguido nidificando en pequeños islotes rocosos y en puertos protegidos; un par de S. dougallii recolonizaron el área en 2018. En este artículo se examinan los registros históricos de gaviotas, junto con las observaciones recientes de especies migratorias transitorias y vagabundas con posibilidades de nidificar; incluidos los datos de un estudio de 69 años de S. hirundo (datos no publicados de DBW) y combinados con datos de otros observadores. Estos registros proporcionan alguna indicación sobre las especies que nidificaban en las Bermudas en tiempos precoloniales y que podrían ser más predispuestas a la restauración utilizando técnicas modernas de conservación. También arrojan algo de luz sobre los procesos y los plazos para la recolonización de islas oceánicas remotas por parte de las aves marinas tras su extirpación por los humanos.

Résumé Revue historique des informations sur les sternes nichant aux Bermudes et perspectives de réinstallation de certaines des espèces ayant disparu — Les îles Bermudes, un archipel de 57 km² en forme d’atoll situé à 32°19'N, 64°45'W, sont les seules îles véritablement océaniques de l’Atlantique Nord-Ouest. Les mentions d’oiseaux marins nichant au moment de la colonisation au début du XVIIe siècle indiquent que plusieurs espèces de sternes, dont le Noddi brun (Anous stolidus), la Sterne fuligineuse (Onychoprion fuscatus), la Sterne bridée (O. anaethetus), la Petite Sterne (Sternula antillarum), La Sterne de Dougall (Sterna dougallii) et la Sterne pierregarin (S. hirundo) pouvaient nicher sur ces îles. Au milieu du XIXe siècle, lorsque les relevés scientifiques ont commencé, il a été confirmé que seules la Sterne de Dougall et la Sterne pierregarin avaient survécu, mais un excès de zèle dans la collecte a fait disparaître la Sterne de Dougall. La Sterne pierregarin a survécu jusqu’au XXe siècle et, avec l’instauration d’une protection légale, continue à nicher sur de petits îlots rocheux dans des bras de mer et des ports abrités ; et un couple de Sternes de Dougall s’est de nouveau installé en 2018. Le présent article passe en revue les données historiques sur les sternes, les observations récentes de migrateurs de passage et d’individus erratiques prospectant de potentiels sites de nidification, ainsi que les données d’une étude d’une durée de 69 ans sur la Sterne pierregarin (données de DBW non publiées), combinées aux données d’autres observateurs. Ces informations fournissent des indications sur les espèces qui nichaient aux Bermudes à l’époque précoloniale et dont le retour pourrait être favorisé à l’aide de techniques de conservation modernes. Elles apportent également un éclairage sur les processus et les délais de recolonisation des îles océaniques lointaines par les oiseaux marins après leur disparition due aux activités humaines.

A natural origin of Bermudian terrapins supported by fossil and genetic data." Biology Letters 4, no. 2 (February 12, 2008): 216–19. http://dx.doi.org/10.1098/rsbl.2007.0599.
Full textAbstract:
Humans have greatly altered the natural distribution of species, making it difficult to distinguish between natural and introduced populations. This is a problem for conservation efforts because native or introduced status can determine whether a species is afforded protection or persecuted as an invasive pest. Holocene colonization events are especially difficult to discern, particularly when the species in question is a naturally good disperser and widely transported by people. In this study, we test the origin of such a species, the diamondback terrapin ( Malaclemys terrapin ), on Bermuda using a combination of palaeontologic (fossil, radiometric and palaeoenvironmental) and genetic data. These lines of evidence support the hypothesis that terrapins are relatively recent (between 3000 and 400 years ago) natural colonizers of Bermuda. The tiny population of Bermudian terrapins represents the second naturally occurring non-marine reptile that still survives on one of the most densely populated and heavily developed oceanic islands in the world. We recommend that they should be given protection as a native species.

Full textAbstract:
Bermudian English (BerE) is one of the least documented varieties of English that has undergone full nativisation. The only source we are aware of is Ayres (1933), who provides an overview of some selected phonological features. The present paper has two aims: first, to provide a preliminary morphosyntactic profile of African Bermudian English (ABerE) and to anchor this variety in the quickly emerging canon of lesser-known varieties of English around the world (Schreier et al. 2010), and second, to gain some first typological insights whether or not it aligns with English in the Caribbean (and if so, with which varieties), as has been claimed by some sources (e.g. Trudgill 2002). With this aim, we report some first findings from a fieldwork study on the island and in a later step compare these with selected Caribbean varieties — Bahamian English (BahE), Bajan, Jamaican English, and Vincentian Creole, as reported in the Electronic World Atlas of Varieties of English (Kortmann and Lunkenheimer 2011). We argue that morphosyntactic similarities and differences between the varieties are explained by the Bermudian community’s sociohistorical and sociolinguistic contexts, including settlement patterns, population demographics, and peopling, and that the emergence and origins of a stable localised variety of (A)BerE need to be approached with reference to the historical connections between Bermuda and the communities that provided donor varieties. We further argue in favor of a two-way transfer pattern: Caribbean Englishes are likely to have influenced the evolution of English on Bermuda, while BerE itself was an influential input variety in other locations (particularly the Bahamas and the Turks and Caicos Islands).

Using mitochondrial COI-5P as a barcode marker, the red algal species previously identified as Digenea simplex in Bermuda is shown to be distinct from this species found in the Adriatic (type locality) and Mediterranean Seas, as well as other tropical locations worldwide. This finding led to a comparative study of the morphology of Bermuda specimens and D. simplex from the type locality, as well as other congeners. Our data show the Bermuda specimens to be morphologically, as well as genetically, distinct from D. simplex necessitating the description of D. arenahauriens sp. nov. for plants found in the islands and a single collection from the Caribbean Sea. It represents the first species partitioned from the “pantropical” D. simplex and we present genetic evidence of additional undescribed isolates in the species complex requiring further study.

Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) are established to conserve nature while also preserving ecosystem services and cultural values. Many ongoing MPA discussions are centered on offshore islands, including Bermuda, a British Overseas Territory in the North Atlantic Ocean, which is currently assessing a management plan to protect 20% of its EEZ. Marine mammals are essential targets to monitor as part of effective MPA management because they are keystone species. In addition, as human activities raise ocean noise levels worldwide, monitoring ambient sound levels is essential to evaluating impacts on marine ecosystems. We collected nine months of passive acoustic data (at 250 kHz sampling rate and with 24-bit resolution) between December 2021 and September 2022, approximately 24 nm south of Bermuda, close to a location where previous studies were conducted in 1966 and 2013–2014. The cetacean presence and ambient sound levels derived from our dataset will be compared to these historical datasets. Our comparative analysis focused on humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae), fin whales (Balaenoptera physalus), minke whales (Balaenoptera acutorostrata), blue whales (Balaenoptera musculus), sei whales (Balaenoptera borealis), and beaked whales (family Ziphiidae). Results will illustrate how Bermuda’s offshore underwater soundscape has changed over nearly six decades.

The persistent refusal by the majority of their respective peoples to consider independence, despite, in some of the territories, its propagation by political leaders and its blandishment — at least until recently — by the British, seems an anachronism.

Full textAbstract:
Little is known about colonization of remote island coasts by marine invertebrates, other than corals. The structure of hard substrata assemblages was investigated across Ascension Island's littoral zone in comparison with other sites. Arrays of acrylic panels were deployed at two sites for 2 years at Ascension Island to measure subtidal recruitment. Colonization of panels at Ascension I. was low, though space occupation, abundance and richness varied considerably. After ~1 and 2 years Ascension panels were <17 and <37% covered by fauna and each had <22 recruits and 54 recruits (per 100 cm2) respectively, amongst the lowest density of recruits reported. Recruitment rates of corals (25 m2 year−1) at Ascension I. were also similar to the lowest levels reported elsewhere (e.g. at Bermuda or Midway islands). Less dispersive animal types, e.g. cheilostome bryozoans, were poorly represented. Panels immersed in Tanzania and Scotland were >30% covered, with >76 recruits per 100 cm2 and with bryozoans well represented after 1 year. Across-littoral surveys of established macrofauna at five remote islands (Ascension I., Easter I., Azores, South Georgia and Signy I., Antarctica) revealed similar trends of a rich sublittoral and lower littoral reducing drastically up-shore; molluscs dominating abundance and species numbers, whilst polychaetes, crustaceans and echinoderms were well represented. Established sessile animals occurred patchily at a mean density of 8.26 m−2 but recruits had mortality levels >99%. Polar or remote temperate/tropical sites are typically less colonized than at non-remote, low latitudes but the lowest levels reported are at remote polar sites. Reduced colonization at Ascension island reflects remoteness.

Full textAbstract:
I describe a new species of frog, Eleutherodactylus montserratae sp. nov., from Montserrat, previously confused with E. johnstonei Barbour. It is native to that island and has been introduced, and established, on other Lesser Antillean islands west of 62 degrees west longitude including Anguilla, St. Martin/St. Maarten, St. Barthélemy, Saba, St. Eustatius, St. Christopher, and Nevis, as well as Bermuda. Previous chromosome and molecular studies have shown that populations from these islands are distinct from E. johnstonei, a species occurring east of 62 degrees west longitude in the Lesser Antilles, and elsewhere, but could not identify diagnostic morphological differences. Here, I show that the new species differs morphologically in being smaller (males and females) and having a proportionately larger tympanum, a wider head, and greater separation between the nostrils. Both species have been introduced within and outside of the Caribbean region and will likely expand their ranges in the future.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractAn emended circumscription of the genus Paulia Fée is given and the morphology and anatomy of the eight included species analysed in detail. Four new species are described, P. gibbosa Henssen and P. rhizophora Henssen from Bermuda, P. tessellata Henssen from Bermuda and Mexico and P. stipitata Henssen from Puerto Rico. The new combination P. cubana (Tuck.) Henssen is made. The genus is characterized by an umbilicate thallus composed of reticulately arranged hyphae; apothecia without an excipulum, with branched paraphyses and thickwalled ascospores; and a member of the Chroococcales as phycobiont with brown gelatinous algal sheaths in which characteristic particles are deposited. The species differ in the external morphology of the thallus and apothecia. The species all grow on limestone, and most of them are confined to islands; the distribution of the genus is world-wide.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Strong weather systems can force large numbers of migrating songbirds to take refuge in areas they would otherwise fly over, an event called a “fallout.” On 13 October 2016, Hurricane Nicole made landfall over Bermuda during the fall songbird migration, and provided an opportunity to document a potential fallout. We visited 10 sites in order to (1) compare the abundance of migrant songbirds immediately before and after the hurricane, (2) identify the most abundant fallout songbird species, and (3) record the stopover duration of the most abundant fallout songbird(s). We found a significant increase in the number of migrant songbirds at three sites when comparing before (n = 40 individuals) with after (n = 93 individuals) Hurricane Nicole. Blackpoll Warblers (Setophaga striata) were absent at all five sites sampled before Nicole, but present at seven of the eight sites (88%) sampled after Nicole. Peak Blackpoll Warbler abundance (n = 173) was recorded the day after the storm followed by a significant reduction in numbers over a 2-week period. Our study emphasizes the disruptive nature of hurricanes on migrating Blackpoll Warblers en route to their wintering grounds, and the importance of remote oceanic islands to fallout migrants taking transoceanic routes.

Resumen Irrupción extraordinaria masiva y duración de la escala migratoria de Setophaga striata en las Bermudas después del huracán Nicole—Fuertes eventos climatológicos pueden obligar a un gran número de paseriformes migratorios a refugiarse en áreas sobre las que normalmente pasarían de largo, un evento conocido como irrupción extraordinaria o fallout. El 13 de octubre de 2016, el huracán Nicole tocó tierra sobre las Bermudas durante la migración otoñal de paseriformes y proporcionó una oportunidad para documentar una posible irrupción de este tipo. Se visitaron 10 sitios para (1) comparar la abundancia de paseriformes migratorios inmediatamente antes y después del huracán; (2) identificar las especies de paseriformes más abundantes y (3) registrar la duración de la escala migratoria de los paseriformes más abundantes durante dicha irrupción. Encontramos un aumento significativo en el número de paseriformes migratorios en tres sitios, al comparar antes (n = 40 individuos) con después (n = 93 individuos) del huracán Nicole. Setophaga striata estuvo ausente en los cinco sitios muestreados antes de Nicole, pero presente en siete de los ocho sitios (88%) muestreados después del huracán. La abundancia máxima de esta especie (n = 173) se registró el día siguiente de la tormenta seguido de una disminución significativa de ese valor durante un período de 2 semanas. Nuestro estudio enfatiza la naturaleza disruptiva de los huracanes en individuos migratorios de Setophaga striata en ruta a sus áreas de invernada y la importancia de islas oceánicas remotas para individuos irruptores migratorios que tienen rutas transoceánicas.

Résumé Importance et durée des haltes migratoires forcées des Parulines rayées (Setophaga striata) aux Bermudes après le cyclone Nicole — Des évènements météorologiques puissants peuvent obliger un grand nombre de passereaux migrateurs à se réfugier dans des zones qu’ils auraient seulement survolées dans d’autres conditions. Il s’agit alors de haltes migratoires forcées parfois appelées « tombées » ou « pluies » d’oiseaux. Le 13 octobre 2016, le cyclone Nicole a touché les Bermudes au cours de la migration automnale des passereaux, ce qui a ensuite permis de documenter des haltes migratoires forcées. Nous avons visité 10 sites afin de : (1) comparer l’abondance des passereaux migrateurs immédiatement avant et après l’ouragan ; (2) identifier les espèces de passereaux les plus abondantes ; et (3) enregistrer les durées de halte des espèces de passereaux les plus abondants. Nous avons constaté une augmentation significative du nombre de passereaux migrateurs sur trois sites en comparant les effectifs avant (n = 40 individus) et après (n = 93 individus) le passage du cyclone Nicole. Les Parulines rayées (Setophaga striata) étaient absentes des cinq sites échantillonnés avant le cyclone, mais présentes dans sept des huit sites (88 %) échantillonnés après. L’abondance maximale des Parulines rayées (n = 173) a été enregistrée le lendemain du passage du cyclone, elle a été suivie d’une réduction importante des effectifs sur une période de 2 semaines. Notre étude met l’accent sur l’effet perturbateur des cyclones sur les Parulines rayées en migration vers leurs aires d’hivernage et sur l’importance des îles océaniques éloignées pour les haltes migratoires forcées des oiseaux empruntant des routes transocéaniques.

Full textAbstract:
Odontoschisma prostratum (Sw.) Trevis. and Jungermannia callithrix Lindenb. et Gottsche, two liverworts mainly distributed in the Neotropics, are reported at hand of many collections from Macaronesia. O. prostratum occurs on 8 of the 9 Azorean islands, growing on all type of substrates, even epiphyllous, but rarely in bogs. J. callithrix is known from 8 Azorean islands and from Madeira, growing epigeic. The phytogeographical interest of the occurrence on the Azores of some 39 liverworts (among 147) belonging to the neotropical and/or paleotropical elements is discussed. Most of the neotropical species may have been easily transported to the Azores by the frequent depressions (or occasionally storms) moving rapidly at relatively low altitude (3,000 m) from the North or Central American eastern coasts or from the Caribbean islands and Bermuda to Western Europe in a few days. Only a few of these species could have been be introduced by human activities, mainly along the coast.

AbstractFifteen specimens of Ridgewayia marki minorcaensis n. ssp., collected from Calan Porter Cave, Minorca (western Mediterranean) on 18 July, 1988, are compared with closely related species. The presence of a hitherto undescribed structure on the basis of the right fifth leg of the male justifies establishing a new subspecies. This is the second record of this species, next to that from the Bermuda islands, and thus represents an interesting geographic distribution. The presence, in the same cave, of Exumella polyarthra Fosshagen, 1970, until now found only in the Bahamas, might pose the hypothesis of a relict character of these Mediterranean populations.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Reliably estimating population parameters for highly secretive or rare animals is challenging. We report on the status of the two largest remaining populations of the Critically Endangered Bermuda skink Plestiodon longirostris, using a robust design capture–mark–recapture analysis. Skinks were tagged with passive integrated transponders on two islands and captured on 15 sampling occasions per year over 3 years. The models provided precise estimates of abundance, capture and survival probabilities and temporary emigration. We estimated skink abundance to be 547 ± SE 63.5 on Southampton Island and 277 ± SE 28.4 on Castle Island. The populations do not appear to be stable and fluctuated at both sites over the 3-year period. Although the populations on these two islands appear viable, the Bermuda skink faces population fluctuations and remains threatened by increasing anthropogenic activities, invasive species and habitat loss. We recommend these two populations for continued monitoring and conservation efforts.

Full textAbstract:
The concept of smallness is not only found in Island Studies but also in International Relations, a study that discusses the interaction of political units in the international world. Both Island Studies and International Relations see smallness as a characteristic that can influence the behavior of small island states. This paper tries to bring together the two studies by discussing the case of Bermuda, an island with a semi-autonomous status which has a level of sovereignty close to that of sovereign states. The authors argue that smallness does not always translate into a completely negative condition. Some small states actually depart from their weak position in the international world to then develop their soft power, or the ability to attract the attention of other international actors in a non-coercive manner. In the case of Bermuda, its limited bargaining position in the international world actually makes it more focused on developing sports as its leading sector. Through the sports sector, Bermuda develops its brand to furtherly engage with other international actors and gains economic benefits from it.

Full textAbstract:
19th century Victorian-era romanticism fuelled popular fascination with fairytales and a trend of fairy-themed place naming in Britain and its colonies and territories. The idealising of small islands that served colonial interests as plantations, prisons, military outposts, and maritime trade posts as idyllic, picturesque, fairytale places evoked attributes of empire while maintaining the status quo of dominant colonial culture. The development of tourism, offshore financing and real estate industries perpetuated the idealism of fairy-themed imaginative place naming of islands and island locations into the next century. This article examines the case of Bermuda as a promoted ‘fairy land’ and its exclusive enclave, Fairylands, through a synthesis of archival analysis and auto-ethnography and contributes to the development of toponymic studies in island research and culture.

"ASSISTING FOREIGN INSOLVENCY PRACTITIONERS IN CROSS-BORDER INSOLVENCY: SOME FOREIGN INSIGHTS INTO SOUTH AFRICAN LAW Singularis Holdings Ltd v PricewaterhouseCoopers (Bermuda) [2014] UKPC 36 (10 November 2014), [2015] 2 WLR 971."

Full textAbstract:
The related companies Saad Investments Company Limited and Singularis Holdings Ltd were registered in the Cayman Islands and audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers (“PwC”). When the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands wound them up, it ordered PwC, as a person relevantly connected to them, to deliver or transfer to their joint official liquidators (“JOLs”) any property or documents belonging to those companies (s 103 of the Companies Law). The reason that the JOLs pursued PwC was that the Saad group had withdrawn property to Saudi Arabia. The JOLs in Singularis were not satisfied with what they had received from PwC under this order. They thought that Singularis should have had even more property, which they sought information about from PwC’s working papers. For this purpose, the JOLs considered section 195 of the Companies Act 59 of 1981 in Bermuda, where the relevant branch office of PwC was registered. This more promising provision applied if a provisional liquidator had been appointed, or a liquidation order made in Bermuda. These officers or persons might be interrogated and required to “produce any books or papers in [their] custody or power relating to the company”. Kawaley CJ issued an order in the Supreme Court of Bermuda, recognising the Cayman court’s appointment of the JOLs. He also “exercised a common law power ‘by analogy with the statutory powers contained in section 195’”. PwC and a named officer had to produce the documents that the court could have ordered them to produce under section 195. PwC also had to make its staff or agents available to answer questions. The JOLs could even serve papers on a named PwC partner, or any other partner outside Bermuda. The Court of Appeal for Bermuda overturned his decision, and the JOLs appealed to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. PwC argued that only it owned its working papers. Auditors are “notoriously insistent” that their clients do not. They fear professional negligence claims if their working papers are scrutinised.
