Title: Cuscuta campestris Yunck (Convolvulaceae) as naturalized plant in Madeira Island (Portugal)
Authors: Pupo-Correia, Aida; Ferreira, Z.; Jardim, R.; Sequeira, M. Menezes de
Abstract: Cuscuta campestris Yunck (Convolvulaceae) is reported for the first time as naturalised in the island of Madeira (Portugal). This plant was found parasitising the natives Foeniculum vulgare Mill. and Bituminaria bituminosa (L.) C. H. Stirt., fully flowering and fructifying. This North American dodder, already spread in many parts of the world, can prove to be not only a problem for several native and endemic plants, including many Fabaceae, but also an agricultural problem since its ability to parasitise many cultures is well known.2021-01-01T00:00:00ZNotes on the Lepidoptera and other noteworthy insects observed on Selvagem Grande Island (Madeira, Portugal)

Title: Notes on the Lepidoptera and other noteworthy insects observed on Selvagem Grande Island (Madeira, Portugal)
Authors: Matias, Rafael
Abstract: The insect fauna of the Selvagens Islands (Madeira, Portugal), particularly in what concerns migrant species, is still imperfectly known. According to the literature, at least 166 species have been recorded (including 24 species of Lepidoptera), but several knowledge gaps still exist. A total of 31 endemic insect taxa occur on this archipelago. Between 2006 and 2009, 14 species (and another taxon) of Lepidoptera were recorded on Selvagem Grande of which 8 are new (or have no previously published records) for the Selvagens Islands: Pyrausta sanguinalis (Linnaeus), Uresiphita gilvata (Fabricius), Agrius convolvuli (Linnaeus), Hippotion celerio (Linnaeus), Vanessa atalanta (Linnaeus), Hypena obsitalis (Hübner), Eublemma parva (Hübner), Caradrina clavipalpis (Scopoli); the dragonfly Sympetrum fonscolombii (Selys) is also new for the Selvagens and the cockroach Periplaneta americana (Linnaeus) is confirmed. Observations on other noteworthy insects are also included. The total number of Lepidoptera species known from the Selvagens stands now at 32 and the total number of confirmed insect species at a minimum of 176. Finally, it is discussed that this number may be as high as 214 species, if previously undetermined species in the literature are taken into account.2021-01-01T00:00:00ZFirst record of Cobia (Rachycentron canadum) (Pisces: Rachycentridae) at the coast of Madeira Island (NE Atlantic Ocean)

Authors: Wirtz, Peter; Genner, M.; Relvas, C.
Abstract: The Cobia Rachycentron canadum is recorded from Madeira Island for the first time. An individual of this species was encountered and video-documented while SCUBA-diving in about 12 m depth at the south coast of this island2020-01-01T00:00:00Z
