This represents the northernmost record of this species in the eastern Atlantic Ocean and is another example of ongoing tropicalization of Macaronesia. 2025-01-01T00:00:00Z https://publications.cm-funchal.pt/xmlui/handle/100/1733 Title: Notes on some new and other rare beetles (Coleoptera) from Madeira Island Authors: Becker, Michael; Aguiar, A. M. Franquinho; Lompe, Arved Abstract: We list 12 unpublished records of beetle species for the fauna of Madeira. These were collected between 1996 and 2023. New data are given on the recently described Paradeucalion maderense (Cerambycidae). An explanation and photos are provided to recognise the two Madeiran species of Placonotus MacLeay, 1871 (Laemophloeidae). 2025-01-01T00:00:00Z https://publications.cm-funchal.pt/xmlui/handle/100/1725 Title: First record of the Griffon Vulture (Gyps fulvus Hablizl, 1783), Accipitridae on Madeira Island Authors: Rodrigues, José Manuel; Lobo, Carlos Abstract: The griffon vulture (Gyps fulvus Hablizl, 1783) is newly recorded to Madeira Archipelago. 2022-01-01T00:00:00Z https://publications.cm-funchal.pt/xmlui/handle/100/1715 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. 2021-01-01T00:00:00Z
