  • Non-Passerines
    A List of Birding References - Non-Passerines Joe Hobbs Version 1.1 A List of Birding References Non-Passerines Compiled by Joe Hobbs Version 1.1 Published March 2021 Copyright © 2021 Joe Hobbs All rights reserved Cover photo courtesy of Bill Byrne. Birding References, Non Passerines version 1.1 - Joe Hobbs Page 1 INTRODUCTION From 2010 to 2019 I compiled 27 lists of birding references each covering a different family group that were kindly hosted by Dutch Birding on their website, www.dutch- birding.nl. Judging by the feedback I received many birders found them to be useful, which encouraged me to maintain them with regular updates. At this point I am certain that anyone who wants one has a copy, and therefore feel the time is right to abandon the previous format and replace them with two files (i.e. one each for Passerines and Non-Passerines) that considerably extends the number of families and with an empha- sis on those papers and notes concerning bird identification, mystery photo solutions, behaviour, species profiles, species status, occurrences, first records, taxonomy, topog- raphy etc. published in birding journals. The list of references begins with the following categories: Moult & Ageing; Taxonomy; Topography, Physiology & Song; Zoogeography & Migration; Great Bird Reserves; Im- portant Bird Areas, thereafter arranged by family following the IOC world list taxonomy order (version 10.1). This note will be updated from time to time. CAUTION, PLEASE TAKE NOTE The list is far from comprehensive and should always be used in conjunction with other published and online reference resources.

The present geological period has more species than any other, yet the current rate of extinction of species is greater now than at any time in the past. Ecosystems and communities are being degraded and destroyed, and species are being driven to extinction. The species that persist are losing genetic variation as the number of individuals in populations shrinks, unique populations and subspecies are destroyed, and remaining populations become increasingly isolated from one another. The cause of this loss of biological diversity at all levels is the range of human activity that alters and destroys natural habitats to suit human needs.” (Primack, 2002). CapeNature launched its State of Biodiversity Programme (SoBP) to assess and monitor the state of biodiversity in the Western Cape in 1999. This programme delivered its first report in 2002 and these reports are updated every five years. The current report (2007) reports on the changes to the state of vertebrate biodiversity and land under conservation usage.

Oromia is the largest National Regional State of Ethiopia. Here we present the first comprehensive checklist of its birds. A total of 804 bird species has been recorded, 601 of them confirmed (443) or assumed (158) to be breeding birds. At least 561 are all-year residents (and 31 more potentially so), at least 73 are Afrotropical migrants and visitors (and 44 more potentially so), and 184 are Palaearctic migrants and visitors (and eight more potentially so). Three species are endemic to Oromia, 18 to Ethiopia and 43 to the Horn of Africa. 170 Oromia bird species are biome restricted: 57 to the Afrotropical Highlands biome, 95 to the Somali-Masai biome, and 18 to the Sudan-Guinea Savanna biome.

  • Draft Environmental Assessment Evaluation of the Field Efficacy Of
    Draft Environmental Assessment Evaluation of the field efficacy of broadcast application of two rodenticides (diphacinone, chlorophacinone) to control mice (Mus musculus) in native Hawaiian conservation areas Prepared by: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Pacific Islands Fish and Wildlife Office (PIFWO), Region 1 Cooperating Agencies: USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, Wildlife Services, National Wildlife Research Center (NWRC), Hilo, Hawai’i; U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Migratory Birds and Habitat Program, Pacific Region BACKGROUND In keeping with its mission, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) is striving to recover and restore native species and their habitats in Hawai’i. To achieve this goal it is necessary to remove invasive rodents, including mice, from large geographic areas within the state. However, some of the scientific information needed to support removal of mice from the natural environment is currently lacking. Therefore, the Service, in cooperation with the USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, Wildlife Services, National Wildlife Research Center (NWRC) are proposing to conduct a study at the U.S. Army Garrison, Pōhakuloa Training Area, Hawai’i to determine the response of mice to different application rates of two rodenticides: diphacinone and chlorophacinone. The Service would provide the funding for the proposed project and the NWRC would conduct the proposed study. Currently, diphacinone is the only rodenticide labeled for conservation purposes in Hawai’i. The information from the study would, if warranted by results, also be used to pursue registration for a conservation label from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for chlorophacinone. Invasive1 house mice (Mus musculus) are abundant and widespread in Hawaiian ecosystems.

To breed animals in captivity and release them in their natural control habitats is one of the conservation methods. Amongst other species partridges also breed in captivity and can be release in the wild but presently data lacking, need to examine. Chukar partridge, Black francolin and Grey francolin are used for sports hunting in Pakistan. The available record on captive breeding of Chukar partridge, Black francolin and Grey francilin and their release in the wild for the years 2015-2020 was reviewed using a developed questionnaire. Methodology: Review record of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Wildlife Department Pakistan through a developed questionnaire Findings: It was found that the maximum number of chukar partridge breed was 36, Black francolin (6) and Grey francolin (24). Out of the breeding stock, Chukar partridges (44) and Grey francolin (28) were released in the wild to its natural habitat by hard release technique.

  • Phylogeography of Finches and Sparrows
    In: Animal Genetics ISBN: 978-1-60741-844-3 Editor: Leopold J. Rechi © 2009 Nova Science Publishers, Inc. Chapter 1 PHYLOGEOGRAPHY OF FINCHES AND SPARROWS Antonio Arnaiz-Villena*, Pablo Gomez-Prieto and Valentin Ruiz-del-Valle Department of Immunology, University Complutense, The Madrid Regional Blood Center, Madrid, Spain. ABSTRACT Fringillidae finches form a subfamily of songbirds (Passeriformes), which are presently distributed around the world. This subfamily includes canaries, goldfinches, greenfinches, rosefinches, and grosbeaks, among others. Molecular phylogenies obtained with mitochondrial DNA sequences show that these groups of finches are put together, but with some polytomies that have apparently evolved or radiated in parallel. The time of appearance on Earth of all studied groups is suggested to start after Middle Miocene Epoch, around 10 million years ago. Greenfinches (genus Carduelis) may have originated at Eurasian desert margins coming from Rhodopechys obsoleta (dessert finch) or an extinct pale plumage ancestor; it later acquired green plumage suitable for the greenfinch ecological niche, i.e.: woods. Multicolored Eurasian goldfinch (Carduelis carduelis) has a genetic extant ancestor, the green-feathered Carduelis citrinella (citril finch); this was thought to be a canary on phonotypical bases, but it is now included within goldfinches by our molecular genetics phylograms. Speciation events between citril finch and Eurasian goldfinch are related with the Mediterranean Messinian salinity crisis (5 million years ago). Linurgus olivaceus (oriole finch) is presently thriving in Equatorial Africa and was included in a separate genus (Linurgus) by itself on phenotypical bases. Our phylograms demonstrate that it is and old canary. Proposed genus Acanthis does not exist. Twite and linnet form a separate radiation from redpolls.

  • Recording Some of Breeding Birds in Mehmedan Region of Republic Yemen
    Available online a t www.pelagiaresearchlibrary.com Pelagia Research Library European Journal of Experimental Biology, 2014, 4(1):625-632 ISSN: 2248 –9215 CODEN (USA): EJEBAU Recording some of breeding birds in Mehmedan region of Republic Yemen Fadhl Adullah Nasser Balem and Mohamed Saleh Alzokary Biology Department, Aden University, Yaman _____________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT Mehmedan region is always green and there are different trees, shrubs, herbs and a lot of land which cultivated by corn, millet and other monetary plants. The site has been identified by the authors as an important Bird Area and especially for passerines breeding birds. Aim of this paper is to recording of some breeding birds.Many field visits during the year (2012) were conducted and (13) breeding bird species were recoded, these birds relating to (5) Orders, (10) Families, and (11) Genera. Key words: Breeding birds, Mehmedan, Yemen. _____________________________________________________________________________________________ INTRODUCTION At present time about (432) bird species were recorded in avifauna of Yemen of which (1) is endemic, (2) have been introduced by humans, and (25) are rare or accidental, (14) species are globally threatened.Mehmedan region located in southern Tehama which defined as lying south of (21 0N) along the Saudi Arabian and Yemen Red Sea lowlands and east along the Gulf of Aden to approximately (46 0E).Temperatures and humidity greatly increase southwards and rainfall decreases but the area has many permanent water courses and much subsurface water due to the considerable rub-off of rainwater from the highlands. Consequently there is much more vegetation in the wadis and there is a good deal of traditional, small scale agriculture mostly of millet, sorghum and vegetables[1].
