Fidelity to nest site and mate in Fiordland Crested Penguins Eudyptes pachyrhynchus. Marine Ornithology 27: 37–41. Fiordland Crested Penguins Eudyptes pachyrhynchus are the least gregarious of the crested penguins, breed- ing in caves, burrows, and under dense vegetation along the coast of Fiordland, New Zealand. A popula- tion on Open Bay Island was monitored, with varying degrees of intensity, from 1988 to 1995. During this period, 175 adults were banded in three semi-contiguous areas and their returns to 46 mapped nest sites were recorded. In 1989, reproductive success to the crèche stage was also known. Return rates (used here as minimum annual survival estimates) ranged from 53–83% with means of 71% for both sexes. Mean nest fidelity averaged 76% for males and 72% for females with slightly lower values for mate fidelity (64% for males, 62% for females).

  • New Zealand Comprehensive II Trip Report 31St October to 16Th November 2016 (17 Days)
    New Zealand Comprehensive II Trip Report 31st October to 16th November 2016 (17 days) The Critically Endangered South Island Takahe by Erik Forsyth Trip report compiled by Tour Leader: Erik Forsyth RBL New Zealand – Comprehensive II Trip Report 2016 2 Tour Summary New Zealand is a must for the serious seabird enthusiast. Not only will you see a variety of albatross, petrels and shearwaters, there are multiple- chances of getting out on the high seas and finding something unusual. Seabirds dominate this tour and views of most birds are alongside the boat. There are also several land birds which are unique to these islands: kiwis - terrestrial nocturnal inhabitants, the huge swamp hen-like Takahe - prehistoric in its looks and movements, and wattlebirds, the saddlebacks and Kokako - poor flyers with short wings Salvin’s Albatross by Erik Forsyth which bound along the branches and on the ground. On this tour we had so many highlights, including close encounters with North Island, South Island and Little Spotted Kiwi, Wandering, Northern and Southern Royal, Black-browed, Shy, Salvin’s and Chatham Albatrosses, Mottled and Black Petrels, Buller’s and Hutton’s Shearwater and South Island Takahe, North Island Kokako, the tiny Rifleman and the very cute New Zealand (South Island wren) Rockwren. With a few members of the group already at the hotel (the afternoon before the tour started), we jumped into our van and drove to the nearby Puketutu Island. Here we had a good introduction to New Zealand birding. Arriving at a bay, the canals were teeming with Black Swans, Australasian Shovelers, Mallard and several White-faced Herons.

Abstract Background and Aim: Indonesian cuscuses are now becoming scarce because of the reduction of habitat and poaching. Further, molecular characterization of Indonesian cuscuses is still very lacking. This study aimed to determine genetic markers and phylogenetic relationships of Indonesian cuscuses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences. Materials and Methods: This study used 21 cuscuses caught from two provinces and 16 islands: 13 from Maluku and eight from Papua. Cuscus samples were taken by biopsy following ethics guidelines for animals.

  • A Species-Level Phylogenetic Supertree of Marsupials
    J. Zool., Lond. (2004) 264, 11–31 C 2004 The Zoological Society of London Printed in the United Kingdom DOI:10.1017/S0952836904005539 A species-level phylogenetic supertree of marsupials Marcel Cardillo1,2*, Olaf R. P. Bininda-Emonds3, Elizabeth Boakes1,2 and Andy Purvis1 1 Department of Biological Sciences, Imperial College London, Silwood Park, Ascot SL5 7PY, U.K. 2 Institute of Zoology, Zoological Society of London, Regent’s Park, London NW1 4RY, U.K. 3 Lehrstuhl fur¨ Tierzucht, Technical University of Munich, Alte Akademie 12, 85354 Freising-Weihenstephan, Germany (Accepted 26 January 2004) Abstract Comparative studies require information on phylogenetic relationships, but complete species-level phylogenetic trees of large clades are difficult to produce. One solution is to combine algorithmically many small trees into a single, larger supertree. Here we present a virtually complete, species-level phylogeny of the marsupials (Mammalia: Metatheria), built by combining 158 phylogenetic estimates published since 1980, using matrix representation with parsimony. The supertree is well resolved overall (73.7%), although resolution varies across the tree, indicating variation both in the amount of phylogenetic information available for different taxa, and the degree of conflict among phylogenetic estimates. In particular, the supertree shows poor resolution within the American marsupial taxa, reflecting a relative lack of systematic effort compared to the Australasian taxa. There are also important differences in supertrees based on source phylogenies published before 1995 and those published more recently. The supertree can be viewed as a meta-analysis of marsupial phylogenetic studies, and should be useful as a framework for phylogenetically explicit comparative studies of marsupial evolution and ecology.

Variation in syringealmorphology was studied to resolve the relationshipsof representativesof all of the recognized genera of falcons, falconets, pygmy falcons, and caracarasin the family Falconidae. The phylogenyderived from thesedata establishesthree major cladeswithin the family: (1) the Polyborinae, containingDaptrius, Polyborus, Milvago and Phalcoboenus,the four genera of caracaras;(2) the Falconinae, consistingof the genus Falco, Polihierax (pygmy falcons),Spiziapteryx and Microhierax (falconets)and Herpetothe- res (Laughing Falcon); and (3) the genus Micrastur(forest falcons) comprising the third, basal clade. Two genera, Daptriusand Polihierax,are found to be polyphyletic. The phy- logeny inferred from these syringealdata do not support the current division of the family into two subfamilies.

  • Sociale Dienst Vzw
    sociale dienst vzw vzw Sociale Dienst voor het Vlaams Overheidspersoneel Boudewijnlaan 30, bus 51 - 1000 Brussel http://www.vlaanderen.be/socialediens t Voorw oord Beste Lezer, In 2013 startte de sociale dienst met de uitbouw van een e-loket waar de cliënten met een federaal token of e-ID kunnen inloggen in een gepersonaliseerde interactieve webruimte. Daarbij staan klantvriendelijkheid en administratieve vereenvoudiging cen- traal en kan de klant op elk gewenst moment de afhandeling van zijn aanvraag opvol- gen. De aanvraag voor de tegemoetkomingen in de medische kosten – tevens de core business van de sociale dienst – doorstaat als eerste de test. Het is immers de bedoeling om dit e-loket de komende jaren verder uit te breiden tot de andere processen van de sociale dienst met een minimum aan administratieve formaliteiten. Wie niet over een pc of internet beschikt, wordt uiteraard op de klassieke manier verder geholpen. Daarnaast kan de sociale dienst ook bogen op enkele succesrijke organisaties. Voor de 23ste editie van de Seniorendagen in Mechelen gaven 1.881 gepensioneerden present. De Zomerhappening in het gezinspark Pairi Daiza klokte af 3.656 aanwezigen, voor Park in de Kijker (de Antwerpse Zoo en Planckendael gingen 3.321 tickets over de toog, De Sint deelde 9.959 geschenken uit en 2.780 kinderen mochten rekenen op een tege- moetkoming in de jeugdvakanties. De sociale dienst verkocht ook 16.777 toegangskaar- ten voor pret- en recreatieparken. In 2014 wordt deze activiteit stopgezet en participeert de sociale dienst aan het PlusPas-project met de collega’s van de Gemeenschappelijke Sociale Dienst voor de Lokale Besturen in Vlaanderen.
