  • Docket No. FWS–HQ–ES–2019–0009; FF09E21000 FXES11190900000 167]
    This document is scheduled to be published in the Federal Register on 10/10/2019 and available online at https://federalregister.gov/d/2019-21478, and on govinfo.gov DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Fish and Wildlife Service 50 CFR Part 17 [Docket No. FWS–HQ–ES–2019–0009; FF09E21000 FXES11190900000 167] Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Review of Domestic and Foreign Species That Are Candidates for Listing as Endangered or Threatened; Annual Notification of Findings on Resubmitted Petitions; Annual Description of Progress on Listing Actions AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior. ACTION: Notice of review. SUMMARY: In this candidate notice of review (CNOR), we, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), present an updated list of plant and animal species that we regard as candidates for or have proposed for addition to the Lists of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended. Identification of candidate species can assist environmental planning efforts by providing advance notice of potential listings, and by allowing landowners and resource managers to alleviate threats and thereby possibly remove the need to list species as endangered or threatened. Even if we subsequently list a candidate species, the early notice provided here could result in more options for species management and recovery by prompting earlier candidate conservation measures to alleviate threats to the species. This document also includes our findings on resubmitted petitions and describes our 1 progress in revising the Lists of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants (Lists) during the period October 1, 2016, through September 30, 2018.

  • Endangered Species Hatches for First Time in 4 Years at White Oak by Michael Stone
    Endangered Species Hatches for First Time in 4 Years at White Oak By Michael Stone A northern helmeted curassow chick hatched on July 23 at White Oak Conservation, marking the first time the endangered species has produced offspring at the center since 2009. “We’ve been patiently waiting for the male to do his job, and he finally did it,” bird specialist Andrew Schumann said. The fertile egg was laid about two weeks before it hatched. It was artificially incubated in a temperature-controlled setting and closely monitored to increase the chances of the chick hatching. During that time, the mom tended to a “dummy” egg, which was replaced with the real one right before it hatched. Helmeted chicks emerge from the shell “precocial,” meaning they’re already fairly developed. But the mom will still tend to her child in some ways, like with feeding, Schumann said. The chick hatched at 108 grams. As newborns, the species loses weight for the first few days but soon begins to increase its body mass by about 5 percent daily. Such rapid growth is common among bird species so they’ll be self-sufficient in the wild quicker, and animal specialists at White Oak often remark at how noticeably fast chick grow. At roughly 50, the captive U.S. population of helmeted curassows is fairly healthy, Schumann said, but having this chick hatch is nonetheless “exciting because it’s still an endangered species.” Only two helmeted chicks have ever hatched at White Oak—both in 2009 from the same mom as this year’s chick.

En base a las diferencias entre estas poblaciones alopátricas se sugiere que estas dos formas distintas son especies separadas. En P. koepckeae la protuberancia frontal es más corta, el diámetro y la forma son más pequeños, y en la cola las puntas de las rectrices centrales care- cen de coloración blanca. Se describen por primera vez detalles de las vocalizaciones de P. koepckeae. Estas se diferencian de las vocalizaciones de P. unicornis en que P. koepckeae tiene cantos de corta duración, pocas frases, pocas notas y carece de la nota alta final distintiva que caracteriza a P. unicornis, y el llamado de alarma está acompañado por el movimiento horizontal de la cola (a diferencia del movimiento vertical de P.

The species has previously been detected on just a handful of occasions, is thought to number less than 400 adult individuals and is Critically Endangered according to the International Union for Conser- vation of Nature Red List. As such, evaluating potential monitoring techniques to study the Sira curassow is of crucial importance to best inform future management strategies. We performed a preliminary assessment of camera traps to detect and collect novel ecological information on the Sira curassow. We used 17 cameras placed at regular altitudinal intervals (either 50 or 100 m) be- tween 800 and 1800 m above sea level, 2 cameras placed at important habitat features, and 2 addi- tional cameras placed on trails to assess hunting activity.

  • A New Subspecies of Curassow of the Genus Pauxi from Peru
    THE AUK A QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF ORNITHOLOGY VOL. 88 APRIL 1971 No. 2 A NEW SUBSPECIES OF CURASSOW OF THE GENUS PAUXI FROM PERU JOHN S. WESKE AND JOHN W. TERBORGH THE discoveryin 1937 by M. A. Carriker, Jr., of a new cracid, sub- sequentlydescribed as Pauxi unicornisby Bond and Meyer de Schauensee (Not. Nat., 29:1-2, 1939), was noteworthybecause of the great distance of the type locality from the range of the closely related Pauxi pauxi. Carriker's two specimens,a male and a female, were taken in the Yungas de Cochabamba in Bolivia about 2,800 km from the closest areas in Venezuelaand adjacent Colombiawhere Pauxi pauxi was known to occur. The discoverysuggested that other Pauxi populationsmight eventually be found along the easternslopes of the Andes in Colombia, Ecuador, or Peru, a region whose avifauna is imperfectly known. Indeed, Tschudi (Untersuchungeniiber die Fauna Peruaria: Ornithologie.St. Gallen, Scheitlinund Zollikofer, 1845-1846) had reportedPauxi from Peru long before, but his record remaineddoubtful in the absenceof any specimens or corroboratingevidence in the century that followed. When we first began our work in Peru in 1965, Dr. Maria Koepcke of the Museo de Historia Natural "Javier Prado" in Lima called our attention to the uncertain status of Pauxi and urged us to be on the lookout for it. Thus we were not wholly surprisedwhen in July 1969 one of our assistants succeededin collectingin east-centralPeru a pair of curassowsclosely similar to the Bolivian Pauxi unicornis. These Peruvian birds appear to representan undescribedrace, which we proposeto name in honor of Dr.

[email protected] INTRODUCTION Cracids are a severely threatened family of Galliformes who are of great social importance, because of their key role in neotropical ecosystems as seed dispersers and their potential use as indicator birds. Several species are managed in captive breeding programs, but very little is known about their behaviour in captivity. The presence of zoo visitors has been found to influence behaviour of many taxa, including birds, but studies of primates are over-represented, and more data on different taxa are needed a. Here we aim to investigate the influence of zoo visitor numbers on the behaviour of Cracids METHODS • 5 species of cracids where observed for a visitors effect in Antwerp Zoo ( Crax rubra, Crax blumenbachii, Crax daubentoni, Penelope jacquacu, Pauxi pauxi ).
