Abstract:
AbstractIn 1978, a small island was discovered north of Kaffeklubben Ø, until then considered the most northern island on Earth. This island was named Oodaaq Ø. It was visited again in 1979, and in 1980 it was seen from Kaffeklubben Ø by members of the Sirius sledge patrol. Sirius searched for Oodaaq Ø again from 1981 to 1984 but did not find it. During the period from 1996 to 2008, the region was visited regularly and a number of new islets were discovered: the 1996 ATOW Island, KMS Island, 2001 RTOW Island, 83-42 Island, Stray Dog West Island and the 2008 Island. The islets are composed of gravel. We believe the area with islets is shallow, being a continuation of a coastal plain to the south. We suggest that the sea floor in the area is irregular and that the islets form by floes of sea ice that bulldoze material from the sea floor up above sea level. In some cases, perhaps all, the islets disappear when sea ice floes bulldoze sediment back below sea level. Alternatively, the so-called islets are just accumulations of gravel on sea ice.

Abstract:
The advent of the Islah movement in Malay Peninsula during the early twentieth century challenged the status quo and the existing political and religious institutions. It created a major controversy and tension between the reformists and those supporting the existing order. Consequently, some Muslims were suspicious of the reformists. This was primarily due to their non-adherence to the Shafi’i school of Islamic law, which was adopted by the majority of Muslims not only in Malay Peninsula, but the Nusantara in general. Amid such controversy, some people overlook and even dismiss the contribution of the reformists. Therefore, this article re-examines both the short and long-term contribution of the Islah movement to Malay society.

Abstract:
The present paper focuses on the ability of the European Leaf-toed gecko, Euleptes europaea, an endemic species of the western Mediterranean, to live in low-nutrient habitats. Its distribution is mainly insular and particularly noteworthy is its ability to live on islets and rocks. This work includes data originating from surveys carried out on 111 islands surrounding the island of Corsica (France) in search of herpetofauna. E. europaea is able to survive on the smallest islets, with low habitat complexity, suggesting a pre-adaptation of this species to island life. Moreover, high population densities associated with a low biomass seem to facilitate survival on island.

Abstract:
In this paper, modern definition of island established by the IHO has been accepted, and classification of islands, islets, rocks and rocks awash has been proposed according to their areas. The coastline of the Croatian part of the Adriatic Sea was digitized from topographic maps produced at the scale of 1 : 25 000 (TM 25). Topographic maps used for digitization are more precise than the maps that were used in earlier works and consequently the data on the number of islands and their coastline lengths and areas are more precise. Polygons of islands were closed in GIS package AutoCAD Map 2000, and each was given its name. From the obtained database and classification of islands, islets and rocks, in the coastal sea area of the Republic of Croatia 79 islands, 525 islets, and 642 rocks and rocks awash, or a total of 1246 have been recorded. Furthermore, it has been established that on TM 25 the island of Cres has the largest area (405.70 km2), although in literature so far (including atlases) the island of Krk was most often cited as the largest island in the Adriatic Sea. The island of Pag has the longest coastline length of 302.47 km.

Abstract:
Introduced rats depredate every life stage of island nesting seabirds, but the extent of predation is rarely quantified. Introduced black rat (Rattus rattus) and native deer mouse (Peromyscus maniculatus anacapae) predation on Xantus's murrelet (Synthliboramphus hypoleucus scrippsi) nests was experimentally quantified using artificial nests before and after rat eradication on Anacapa Island (California). The staged rat eradication programme provided experimental treatments: in 2002 rats were eradicated on one island (East Anacapa Islet) and remained on two islands (Middle and West Anacapa Islets), providing a control comparison, and, in 2003, rats were eradicated from the remaining islands (Middle and West Anacapa Islets). In 2002, 96% of artificial nests were depredated on control islands (rats present) with rats accounting for most predation. Nest predation on the treatment island (rats eradicated) in 2002 was significantly lower: 8% of artificial nests were depredated, mostly by endemic deer mice. In 2003, following rat eradication on the remaining islands (Middle and West Anacapa Islets), nest predation was reduced from 96% in 2002 to 3% of total nests in 2003. Predation of nests on East Anacapa Islet (rats eradicated in 2002) increased significantly due to reintroduction and recovery of native deer mouse populations, with 23% of artificial nests depredated. The inference is that rat predation on real Xantus's murrelet nests was responsible for the historically low nesting success and small population sizes of breeding murrelets on Anacapa Island. With rats removed, the hatching success of Xantus's murrelet chicks and the number of individuals nesting on Anacapa Island will increase dramatically. Artificial nest studies are particularly well suited to quantifying introduced rat impacts on hole and crevice nesting seabirds and can simultaneously serve as an effective monitoring tool to detect the presence of rats and the recovery of native nest predators.

AbstractWe radio-marked 99 Cassin's Auklets (Ptychoramphus aleuticus) nesting at two colonies, Prince Island and Scorpion Rock, separated by 90 km in the California Channel Islands to quantify foraging distance, individual home-range area, and colony-based foraging areas during three consecutive breeding seasons. Auklets generally foraged <30 km from each colony in all years. Core foraging areas (50% fixed kernel) from Prince Island in 1999–2001 were north to northeast of the colony over the insular shelf near the shelfbreak. Core foraging areas from Scorpion Rock in 2000–2001 occurred in two focal areas: the Anacapa Passage, a narrow interisland passage adjacent to the colony, and over the southeastern Santa Barbara Channel. During 2000, intercolony foraging areas overlapped by 10%; however, auklets from each colony used the overlapping area at different times. Equivalent-sample-size resampling indicated Prince Island foraging area (1216 ± 654 km2) was twice that of Scorpion Rock (598 ± 204 km2). At Prince Island, mean individual distances, home-range areas, and colony-based activity areas were greater for females than males, especially during 2001. At Prince Island, core foraging areas of females and males, pooled separately, overlapped by 63% in 1999 and 2000, and by 35% in 2001. Postbreeding auklets from both colonies dispersed northward and moved to active upwelling centers off central California, coincident with decreased upwelling and sea-surface warming throughout the Santa Barbara Channel.Distancias de Forrajeo y Rangos de Hogar de Dos Colonias de Nidificación de Ptychoramphus aleuticus en las Islas del Canal de CaliforniaResumen. Para cuantificar la distancia de forrajeo, el área de hogar de los individuos y las áreas de forrajeo de las colonias, marcamos con radiotransmisores 99 individuos de la especie Ptychoramphus aleuticus que estaban anidando en dos colonias separadas por 90 km en las islas del Canal de California (Prince Island y Scorpion Rock) durante tres temporadas reproductivas consecutivas. Las aves generalmente forrajearon a menos de 30 km de cada colonia en todos los años. Las áreas núcleo de forrajeo (“kernel” fijo del 50%) de la colonia de Prince Island en 1999–2001 se ubicaron al norte y al noreste de la colonia, cerca del borde de la plataforma insular. Las áreas núcleo de la colonia de Scorpion Rock en 2000–2001 se ubicaron en dos áreas focales: el Pasaje de Anacapa, un estrecho corredor marítimo entre islas adyacente a la colonia, y en el sureste del Canal de Santa Barbara. Durante 2000, las áreas de forrajeo de las dos colonias se superpusieron en un 10%, pero las aves de cada colonia utilizaron las áreas de superposición en momentos diferentes. Análisis con tamaños de muestra equivalentes indicaron que el área de forrajeo de Prince Island (1216 ± 654 km2) era el doble de Scorpion Rock (598 ± 204 km2). En Prince Island, las distancias promedio entre individuos, el tamaño de los rangos de hogar y las áreas en que la colonia centró sus actividades fueron mayores para las hembras que para los machos, especialmente durante 2001. En Prince Island, las áreas núcleo de forrajeo de hembras y machos, combinadas separadamente, se superpusieron en un 63% en 1999 y 2000, y en un 35% en 2001. Las aves post-reproductivas de ambas colonias se dispersaron hacia el norte y se desplazaron hacia centros activos de surgencia en aguas de California central, de forma coincidente con una disminución en la surgencia y un calentamiento de la superficie del mar a través del Canal de Santa Barbara.

Abstract:
Islamo revaivalizmo tema nėra nauja akademiniame pasaulyje, bet didėjančios šio judėjimo šalininkų gretos skatina mokslininkus atidžiau analizuoti šį fenomeną. Apžvelgus ir apibendrinus įvairių mokslininkų interpretacijas, kaip, kada ir dėl kokių priežasčių prasidėjo islamo revaivalizmas, būtų galima teigti, kad tai sudėtin­gas ir įvairialypis fenomenas, kuris atskleidžia visapusiškas pastangas masiškai reis­lamizuoti valstybes tiesioginiais politiniais ir / ar kariniais veiksmais. Akivaizdu, kad nors šis reiškinys koncentruojasi į reislamizaciją, jis nėra vienalytis, nes revaivalizmo šalininkai (tyrimas telkiasi į sunitų islamą, kaip dominuojančią islamo atšaką) nau­doja skirtingas priemones tikslui pasiekti. Dėl to revaivalistai šiame straipsnyje yra skirstomi į tris atšakas: islamistus, kurie yra nuosaikiausi ir pirmenybę teikia politi­nėms priemonėms, fundamentalistus, kurie siekia islamizacijos politiniais veiksmais ir, jeigu reikia, nevengia smurtinių priemonių, ir radikaliuosius musulmonus, kurių veiksmai iš principo paremti smurtu.Revaivalistai, kurie kviečia musulmonus išgryninti islamą ir sugrįžti prie tikrojo tikėjimo pagrindų, kelia iššūkius nemusulmoniškoms valstybėms ne tik politiniu, bet ir teisiniu lygiu. Jų manymu, sekuliarizmas yra netinkama valdymo forma, iš dalies dėl to, kad tai vakarietiškos politikos padarinys, taip pat dėl to, kad sekuliarizmas paneigia aukščiausios valdžios, kylančios iš Dievo, principą. Dėl to ideali valstybė (anot revaivalistų) yra islamiška valstybė, kuri susideda iš trijų esminių komponentų: islamo, kaip valstybinės religijos, islamo teisės ir islamiškos valdymo santvarkos. Nepaisant skirtumų, visos trys revaivalistų atšakos įvardija šiuos esminius elementus, pabrėždamos šarijos vaidmenį.Tai lėmė darbo tikslą. Straipsnyje siekiama pateikti galimą veiksmų planą, kuriuo naudodamiesi islamo revaivalizmo atstovai siekia įtakos valstybėms, neturinčioms ambicijų tapti islamiškomis. Didžiausias pavojus kyla toms valstybėms, kurios dėl skirtingos piliečių sudėties (pvz., religinių, etninių grupių ir pan.) leidžiasi į kompro­misus dėl vienokios ar kitokios šarijos formos įteisinimo, ne visada suvokdamos, jog tai pirmieji revaivalistų žingsniai islamiškos valstybės link, vis labiau „apleidžiant“ esamą sekuliarųjį valdymo pobūdį.

Abstract:
SummaryUntil recently, Bermuda Petrel Pterodroma cahow (IUCN Category: ‘Endangered’) bred only in sub-optimal habitat on four small islets in north-east Bermuda. Although intensive management of the population since 1962 has led to a substantial increase in population size (now approaching 100 pairs), the nesting habitat on these four islets is being increasingly inundated, eroded and destroyed by high seas associated with hurricanes and storms. To ensure the long-term conservation of the species a decision was made to establish a new colony at a more secure site on nearby Nonsuch Island, where they once bred in large numbers. Between 2004 and 2008, 104 near-fledged nestlings were translocated to artificial burrows on Nonsuch Island, where they were hand-fed meals of fish and squid. All but three translocated birds fledged successfully, with the first returning to Nonsuch Island in February 2008. The first Bermuda Petrel egg on Nonsuch Island in more than 300 years was laid in January 2009, and the resultant fledgling departed in June of the same year. By the end of the 2009/10 breeding season, a total of 18 Bermuda Petrels have been recorded on Nonsuch Island, 17 were translocated as near-fledged nestlings, and one bird came from the existing colonies. A total of five eggs have been produced, resulting in two fledglings. The establishment of this new colony, at a site that is much more secure than the existing nesting sites, greatly enhances the conservation prospects of the species and demonstrates the importance of translocation as a tool for the conservation of threatened seabirds.

Abstract:
AbstractPopulations of grey petrels have declined globally due to both incidental capture in commercial fisheries and predation by introduced mammals at breeding sites. In the New Zealand region, grey petrels only breed on Campbell and Antipodes islands. Rats were successfully eradicated from Campbell Island in 2001. We assessed the spatial extent and conducted the first quantitative population estimate of the grey petrel population on Campbell Island and surrounding islets. There was an estimated c. 96 pairs (95% CI: 83, 109) of breeding grey petrels from the four colonies. Since work was conducted during the middle of the chick-rearing stage, this is an underestimate of the breeding population. The Campbell Island grey petrel breeding population remains small. Our study provides a baseline for future population estimates of grey petrels on Campbell Island.

Abstract:
The post-New Order Indonesian politics has provided a political opportunity structure for the state towards democratization. It has a double-edged sword whatsoever: on the one hand democratization could lead to the civic engagement, but on the other hand, it provides a hot bed for the flourishing of anti-civic organization. As for the latter, following the fall of authoritarian regime of new Order in 1998, Indonesians have also witnessed the birth of transnational Islamist and radical organizations threatening the state’s integrity and peaceful coexistence of the citizens. Amid the public appearance of these radical organization, an issue of ideological infiltration and sabotage of radical organization upon mainstreaming moderate Muslim organizations, such as Nahdlatul Ulama and Muhammadiyah do exist. This article tries to reveal the impacts of a such infiltration practices and the extent that radical narratives win the minds and hearts of important Muslim leaders. Taking a closer a look to Muslim leaders in Sampang district in the island of Madura, the centrum of traditionalist Muslim in Indonesian Islamo-landscape, finds out that intolerant and radical ideologies do resonate clearly among the leaders. This finding resort as an alarm and counter-narrative to the long-admired Islamic traditionalism as an important backbone for moderate Islam in Indonesia.

Abstract:
Two major questions are seldom addressed in the literature on Islamism and opposition social movements more generally: (1) what explains the relative success or failure of Islamist groups in mobilizing a social base and (2) what role do Islamist ideas play in attracting support. Islamist movements vary significantly in their origins, leadership, ideas, and strategies. In answering these important questions, this article offers three main propositions: that under certain conditions, Islamism can emerge as a powerful idea that generates social appeal; that to be successful, Islamist organizations must develop a local Islamist ideology that suits the local social base, rather than tie themselves to a global Islamist agenda,; and that in authoritarian contexts, especially where open mobilization is forbidden, inclusive informal social networks are an essential mechanism for spreading Islamist ideas and protecting group members. Nonetheless, there are limitations to an Islamist movements ability to grow and bring about political change. The article contributes to an understanding of Islamism and, more broadly, to an understanding of why and how opposition movements emerge and mobilize under authoritarian regimes. The article develops these propositions in a comparative examination of three Islamist groups active in the Central Asian and south Caucasus regions of the former Soviet Union (FSU): Hizb ut-Tahrir al-Islami (HT), the Islamic Renaissance Party of Tajikistan (IRP), and the Islamic Party of Azerbaijan (IPA).

Full text
Abstract:
AbstractGeomorphic features inherited from the mid-Holocene glacio-hydro-isostatic sea-level highstand that affected the central Pacific region influence the susceptibility of atoll islets to potentially enhanced wave erosion associated with rise in sea level from global warming. Shoreline morphology on multiple islets of Funafuti atoll in central Tuvalu reflects a relative mid-Holocene sea-level highstand 2.2–2.4 m above modern sea level. Typical islets are composed of unconsolidated post-mid-Holocene sediment resting disconformably on cemented coral rubble formed beneath now-emergent mid-Holocene reef flats. Exposed remnants of the lithified islet foundations serve as resistant buttresses protecting the flanks of atoll islets from wave attack. Islets lacking cemented mid-Holocene deposits as part of their internal structure are migratory sand cays with unstable shorelines. Any future sea-level rise ≥0.75 m, bringing high tide above the elevation of mid-Holocene low tide, might trigger enhanced wave erosion of stable atoll islets by overtopping the indurated mid-Holocene reef platforms. As analogous threshold relations are inferred for other central Pacific atolls, the risk of future inundation of island nations cannot be evaluated solely in terms of expected sea-level rise with respect to gross islet elevations.

Abstract:
U članku se sagledava jedna od točaka napetosti u problematici odnosa islama i liberalnog razumijevanja ljudskih prava – sloboda religije naspram smrtne kazne za otpadništvo u islamu. Autorica kritički pristupa ekstremističkom tumačenju islama u kojem se smrtna kazna za otpadništvo prakticira kao jedna od odlika Medinskog ideala – te, preuzimajući Tibijev pojam, odbacuje ekstremističke pokušaje oživljavanja vremena proroka Muhameda kao “izmišljanje tradicije”. Oslanjajući se na progresivnu islamsku misao, autorica toj problematici prilazi iz dvaju smjerova: prvi je smjer preispitivanje izvora smrtne kazne za otpadništvo u Kur’anu i tradiciji proroka Muhameda, a drugi odbacivanje smrtne kazne za otpadništvo kao prakse proturječne ideji ljudskih prava.

Abstract:
Recent scholarship has located John Fletcher's The Island Princess (1621) in the historical context of the early modern “spice race” but has not addressed the extent to which the intra‐European tensions staged in the play also enact an international contest for symbolic and cultural resources. Taking as its starting point Fletcher's acknowledged sources, Bartolomé Leonardo de Argensola's Conquista de las islas Malucas (1609) and Louis Gédoyn de Bellan's “Histoire memorable de Dias espagnol, et de Quixaire princesse de Moluques” (1615), this essay places The Island Princess in the thick of an appropriative process that moved from Portugal's periphery to Spain, from Spain to France, and from the Continent to England. In doing so, it also traces the contours of a mercantilist logic that linked political dominance, literary hegemony, and economic supremacy—and pursued all three as mutually reinforcing national goals.

La actual estructura socioeconómica de la isla de La Palma (Islas Canarias), dependiente en gran medida del sector público y de las ayudas institucionales, está generando un progresivo declive económico y pérdida de población a escala insular. Como respuesta a la crisis por la que atraviesa el sector primario y de la previsible reducción de ayudas al plátano –principal sector productivo en la isla– en la actualidad, desde la esfera política se trata de dinamizar el tejido productivo insular apostando abiertamente por un turismo vinculado al paisaje y al espacio rural, como sector estratégico en torno al cual construir un modelo de desarrollo equilibrado y sostenible.AbstractThe current socio-economic structure of the island of La Palma (Canary Islands), dependent to a large extent on the public sector and on institutional aid, is generating a progressive economic decline and loss of population on an island scale. In response to the crisis that the primary sector is going through and the foreseeable reduction of aid to bananas –the main productive sector on the island– nowadays, from the political sphere, it is about boosting the productive fabric of the island by openly betting on tourism linked to the landscape and the rural space as a strategic sector around which to build a model of balanced and sustainable development.

Abstract:
Exotic predators have driven the extinction of many island species. We examined impacts of feral cats on the abundance and anti-predator behaviours of Aegean wall lizards in the Cyclades (Greece), where cats were introduced thousands of years ago. We compared populations with high and low cat density on Naxos Island and populations on surrounding islets with no cats. Cats reduced wall lizard populations by half. Lizards facing greater risk from cats stayed closer to refuges, were more likely to shed their tails in a standardized assay, and fled at greater distances when approached by either a person in the field or a mounted cat decoy in the laboratory. All populations showed phenotypic plasticity in flight initiation distance, suggesting that this feature is ancient and could have helped wall lizards survive the initial introduction of cats to the region. Lizards from islets sought shelter less frequently and often initially approached the cat decoy. These differences reflect changes since islet isolation and could render islet lizards strongly susceptible to cat predation.

Abstract:
We studied diet choice by a generalist herbivore, the red howler monkey (Alouatta seniculus) under conditions of high and normal population density. Densities equivalent to 800–1000 km−2 (roughly 20–40 times normal) occurred in populations trapped on small, predator-free islands in Lago Guri, Venezuela. For three successive years, we studied one such population, a group of six animals living on a 0.6-ha island and compared its feeding ecology to that of two groups living at normal densities on a 190-ha island. The 0.6-ha island supported a total of 351 trees >10 cm dbh of 46 species, whereas >100 species probably occurred within the 16- and 23-ha home ranges of the two large-island howler troops. Small-island howlers were thus predicted to consume fewer resources, in particular less fruit, and to be less selective in diet choice than large-island howlers. As predicted, small-island howlers consumed fewer resources and obtained a smaller fraction of their intake from rare tree species (those contributing <1% of basal area). Small-island howlers consumed less fruit (2% of feeding time vs. 22%) and more foliage (73% vs. 55%) than the large-island groups. Diet breadth of small-island howlers was markedly less than that of their large-island counterparts. Tree species not present on the small island contributed ≥60% of leaf consumption by large-island howlers. Foliage sources preferred by large-island howlers were different in each of 3 years, whereas foliage of the same species of tree consistently ranked first on the small island. Long-term persistence (17 y) of self-perpetuating howler groups on Lago Guri islets at >20 times normal density strongly suggests that food availability does not limit mainland populations.

Abstract:
Antipredatory defenses are maintained when benefit exceeds cost. A weak predation pressure may lead insular lizards to tameness.Podarcis lilfordiexhibits a high degree of insular tameness, which may explain its extinction from the main island of Menorca when humans introduced predators. There are three species of lizards in Menorca: the nativeP. lilfordi, only on the surrounding islets, and two introduced lizards in the main island,Scelarcis perspicillataandPodarcis siculus. In addition, there are three species of snakes, all introduced: one non-saurophagous (Natrix maura), one potentially non-saurophagous (Rhinechis scalaris) and one saurophagous (Macroprotodon mauritanicus). We studied the reaction to snake chemical cues in five populations: (1)P. lilfordiof Colom, (2)P. lilfordiof Aire, (3)P. lilfordiof Binicodrell, (4)S. perspicillata, and (5)P. siculus, ordered by increasing level of predation pressure. The three snakes are present in the main island, while onlyR. scalarisis present in Colom islet, Aire and Binicodrell being snake-free islets. We aimed to assess the relationship between predation pressure and the degree of insular tameness regarding scent recognition. We hypothesized thatP. lilfordishould show the highest degree of tameness,S. perspicillatashould show intermediate responses, andP. siculusshould show the highest wariness. Results are clear: neitherP. lilfordinorS. perspicillatarecognize any of the snakes, whileP. siculusrecognizes the scent ofM. mauritanicusand reacts to it with typical well-defined antipredatory behaviours as tail waving and slow motion. These results rise questions about the loss of chemical recognition of predators during island tameness and its related costs and benefits for lizards of insular habitats. In addition, this highlights the necessity for strong conservation measures to avoid the introduction of alien predators.

Abstract:
Small islets in the Mediterranean Sea are often home to reptiles, typically representing an impoverished sample of the continental fauna, yet with high population densities and signs of rapid morphological and behavioral evolution. In this paper, we present the first herpetofaunal survey of several small islet clusters in close proximity to the Mediterranean coast of Israel, only recently geologically separated from the mainland. We performed surveys of five islets during March of 2017 – 2018 and recorded the presence of five different species of reptiles on four of the surveyed islets. Species richness varied between 1 and 4 species, and appeared to be correlated with island area, with a distinct nested structure. Reptile species may have colonized the islets by natural dispersal from nearby coastal populations, or by hitch-hiking on fishing boats and similar methods of human-assisted dispersal. Alternatively, the recorded reptiles may represent relictual populations from earlier geologic periods, when lower sea-levels supported continuous land-bridges between the islets and the mainland. These insular reptile populations require further study to establish the exact means of colonization and describe if and how they differ from mainland populations. We stress the importance of such small Mediterranean islets such as these as centers of unique biodiversity and encourage future study and conservation action aimed at them and similar islets.

Abstract:
Abstract The Balearic lizard, Podarcis lilfordi, is present in 43 insular populations in the Cabrera archipelago and around the coasts of Mallorca and Menorca islands (Spain). We studied lizard densities over the entire range of distribution, analyzing observed differences of density in relation to island area, habitat diversity, availability of resources, presence of predators, competitors and human disturbances. The density of the Balearic lizard varies from less than 35 to almost 8000 lizards ha–1, with an average of around 1500 lizards ha–1. In some very small islets we detected no more than 10 individuals. Using a subsample of nine coastal islets (Menorca) we did not find any significant correlation between ground arthropod biomass and lizard density. The combination of island area and its maximal altitude, its so-called biotic capacity, was also uncorrelated with lizard density. In addition, neither degree of island accessibility nor presence/absence of seagull breeding colonies, were able to explain lizard densities. Islands without ship rats (Rattus rattus) showed a significantly higher lizard density, but islands in which rat eradication programs were launched during the study period, showed lower densities than those with rats but no eradication actions. Genetic variability was significantly higher on bigger lizard populations, lacking a correlation with lizard densities. No single independent variable can explain density differences among populations under study. Our results are discussed in the light of available hypotheses on factors affecting population densities.

Ploča Island, as it is called by its inhabitants and the inhabitants of the local area, or Drvenik Mali, as it is usually called in official records and on the maps (3.43 sq. km, 54 inhabitants in 2001) is a part of Trogir Islands in central Dalmatian archipelago. It is located near Drvenik (Veli) Island and the adjacent islets and rocks, and together they make a specific insular area with certain problems concerning spatial development and survival both in the past and in modern times, at the dawn of the 21st century. Within the project titled Geographical Bases of the Development of Small Croatian Islands we did a field research in 2003 and analyzed different data sources in order to investigate the basic natural-geographic features of the island, particularly for the purpose of its modern and future socio-economic development. In order to realize and define the modern valorization of the island, we took particular interest in geographic position, geomorphologic, vegetational and hydrographic features, as well as in demographic and economic structures.

Abstract:
Rhodolitica occultagen. nov. et sp. nov. (Clavulariidae) is described from Cocos Island National Park, Pacific Ocean, Costa Rica. The species was found at various islets and rocky outcrops around the island, 20−55 m in depth. The genus is characterised by tubular, single, erect anthosteles interconnected by thin basal ribbon-like stolons on the surfaces of living rhodoliths. The anthosteles are devoid of fused sclerites, which are only present in the stolons. Coenenchymal sclerites are mostly spindles of various shapes, with a characteristic cylindrical warty type in the outer layer, crosses and radiates. Anthocodiae are armed with points, lacking collarets. Colonies and sclerites are red. Using an integrative taxonomic approach, we separate the new genus from similar genera through both morphological comparison and a molecular phylogenetic analysis. This research is a contribution to the knowledge of the octocoral biodiversity in Cocos Island and marine biodiversity in the eastern tropical Pacific.

Abstract:
AbstractThis article argues that leaders of the Jamaat-i-Islami in Bangladesh regularly invoke women's privileged status as mothers to counter the claims of the largely secularist non-governmental organizations operating in the country today that Islam has been harmful to women and that the only route to progress is to discard the shackles of religion and tradition. The current Jamaat rhetoric marks a significant change from the original Jamaat position—elaborated by the party's founder Abul Ala Maududi—that women's divinely ordained place is in the home. Now, several decades later, Jamaat leaders in Bangladesh still enjoin women to fulfil domestic obligations; however, they also go to great lengths to highlight Islam's recognition of women as ‘individuals’ with ‘individual’ responsibilities to God and Islam as well as Islam's support for women's right to study, work and vote. I contend that the Jamaat in Bangladesh has been prompted to undertake these recent modifications by specific developments in local social and political contexts, specifically the twin pressures on the Jamaat of operating in a functioning, if often imperfect, democratic polity; and of competing with more secular organizations for the hearts, minds and votes of impoverished women.

Abstract:
AbstractCape Verde has a higher number of reptile taxa and endemics than any of the five archipelagos in the Macaronesian region. Mapping the precise distributions and assessing the conservation status of reptiles is the first step towards effective conservation. Presence/absence and abundance data were gathered from extensive fieldwork and post-1980 literature. Evaluation of conservation status was considered at specific and subspecific levels, following IUCN Red List criteria and using RAMAS. Fieldwork confirmed the occurrence of 34 of 37 previously recorded taxa (31 native, three exotic). One taxon continues to be considered Extinct. Three broad distribution and rarity patterns were identified: widespread and abundant taxa occurring on ≥ 2 islands/islets, widespread or abundant taxa restricted to one island, and rare or limited range taxa occurring on small areas of islands or islets. More than a third of taxa have areas of occupancy < 20 km2 and extents of occurrence < 100 km2. Geckos are rarer than skinks because of their high habitat specialization, with 58% occurring on only one island/islet. About half of all taxa are potentially threatened, twice the proportion of those in the Canary Islands, a difference that could be explained by the smaller area and greater aridity of the Cape Verde islands. The criterion used for most threat categorizations is geographical range, and the most pervasive threats are natural disasters, intrinsic factors of the species and introduced species. The importance of applying conservation status at the subspecific level to island endemics is emphasized. Several conservation measures are proposed, including optimized design of protected areas.

V odnosu do islamske civilizacije sodobni zahodni diskurz izraža veliko mero strahu in nezaupanja. Razlogi za tako stanje so med drugim v nepoznavanju islama ter v neobjektivnem pisanju o tej civilizaciji. Za bolj uravnotežen diskurz o islamu sta potrebna poznavanje in civilizacijski dialog. Prispevek obravnava diskurz o islamski civilizaciji v povezavi s slovenskimi in ameriškimi učbeniki. V slovenskih učnih načrtih za zgodovino je v 7. razredu islamski civilizaciji namenjena le izbirna tema. Spričo množice izbirnih tem to pomeni, da se zaradi drugih zanimivih tem le redki učitelji odločijo za obravnavo islamske civilizacije. V ameriškem kontekstu pa so učbeniki kritizirani zaradi naklonjenosti islamu. Pristop, ki ga priporoča American Textbook Council, ne pripomore k razumevanju in spoštovanju islamske civilizacije, ker islam v določeni meri enači s fundamentalizmom in nanj meče senco krivde stereotipnih obtožb.

Abstract:
Many sea-birds are dependent for breeding on islands free from both mammalian predators and high levels of human disturbance. Yet human use of small islands appears to be increasing in many parts of the world, including the >150 islands in the Gulf of California, México. For this reason, the frequency and activities of human visitors to San Pedro Mártir Island, one of the most important sea-bird nesting sites in México, were studied over the course of 14 months of field work between 1990 and 1992. On average >350 people per month visited the near-shore waters. The most important visitors were: (1) commercial fishers in small open boats called pangas; (2) commercial fishers in larger ships; (3) private sport-fishers; and (4) commercial environmental-tourism groups. Private sport-fishing boats were most frequently observed, but private sport-fishers rarely landed on shore and caused little apparent disturbance to nesting or roosting sea-birds or California sea-lions (Zalophus californicus). Commercial companies concerned with environmental tourism also caused little apparent disturbance to sea-birds or sea-lions, but only because the company that brought the majority of 'ecotourists' developed and followed guidelines to minimize disturbance. Disturbance caused by all tourists can be reduced at minimal cost to both tourists and protected-area managers. Commercial fishers were responsible for most of the apparent disturbances to sea-birds and sea-lions; decreasing this apparent impact will be more difficult. Most apparent human impact was found to be short term and localized. However, commercial fishers and scientific researchers have the potential to cause long-term changes to the terrestrial ecology of the island by introducing exotic species.

Un cambio que acontece en una coyuntura poco oportuna, al coincidir con un marco institucional regional que controlaba el incremento de la oferta turística. El relato de las contradicciones institucionales acaecidas constituye el objeto de este artículo. The island of La Palma (Canary Islands), one of those called Islas Verdes, was historically maintained an economic model based on agricultural export activity. In recent decades, in the face of the threatening disappearance of institutional protection to its main crop (the banana), it has varied its strategy by activating real estate-tourism activity as a development strategy. A change that is at a timely juncture, in the same way as it coincided with a regional institutional framework that controlled the increase in the tourist offer. The story of the institutional contradictions that occurred is the subject of this article.
