Despite having a rich avifauna in Iran, limited number of studies have been conducted on lice fauna of wild birds in this region. This study was carried out to identify lice species of passerine birds in East of Iran. A total of 106 passerine birds of 37 species were captured. Their bodies were examined for lice infestation. Fifty two birds (49.05%) of 106 captured birds were infested. Overall 465 lice were collected from infested birds and 11 lice species were identified as follow: Brueelia chayanh on Common Myna (Acridotheres tristis), B.

Understanding, documentation and appropriate use of new records are essential, especially when managing threatened species. Here we present novel data regarding new distributional records for 17 bird species along the Amazonian slopes of the eastern Ecuadorian Andes. The new records fill gaps on our knowledge in the distribution, both in latitude and altitude. Although knowledge on the distribution of birds on mainland Ecuador has been well studied (Fjeldså Rostrhamus sociabilis ACCIPITRIDAE during recent years an inspiring number of articles have Snail Kite Cassin, 1854 - Two beenand Krabbe published 1990; documenting Ridgely and newGreenfield discoveries 2001; on2006), the individuals in juvenile plumage were seen flying over the distribution of birds in mainland Ecuador (e.g. Freile old-Zamora Airstrip on 6 March 2008, Zamora-Chinchipe et al. province (950 m a.s.l., 03°59’ S, 78°53’ W).

Both songs consist of a main phrase and an optional terminal phrase. Our recordings of dawn and day songs in Costa Rica were very similar to those made elsewhere in Central America. However, Central American dawn songs were signifi cantly different than dawn songs from South America, both in terms of quantitative features (temporal and frequency variables) and qualitative characteristics (note shape).

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract We investigated if passerine birds act as important predators of small vertebrates within the Neotropics. We surveyed published studies on bird diets, and information on labels of museum specimens, compiling data on the contents of 5,221 stomachs. Eighteen samples (0.3%) presented evidence of predation on vertebrates. Our bibliographic survey also provided records of 203 passerine species preying upon vertebrates, mainly frogs and lizards. Our data suggest that vertebrate predation by passerines is relatively uncommon in the Neotropics and not characteristic of any family. On the other hand, although rare, the ability to prey on vertebrates seems to be widely distributed among Neotropical passerines, which may respond opportunistically to the stimulus of a potential food item.

  • Pipridae) and of the Cotingas (Cotingidae) Based on Morphology
    OCCASIONAL PAPERS OF THE MUSEUM OF ZOOLOGY THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN A TEST OF THE MONOPHYLY OF THE MANAKINS (PIPRIDAE) AND OF THE COTINGAS (COTINGIDAE) BASED ON MORPHOLOGY ABSTRACT.-Pmm, Richard 0. A test of the monophyly of the manakins (Pipridae) and of the cotingas (Cotingidae) based on morphology. Occ. Pap. Mus. Zool., Uniu. Michigan, 723:I-44,6jigs. A phylogenetic analysis of the Tyr- annoidea is performed as a test of the monophyly of the manakins (Pipri- dae) and of the cotingas (Cotingidae). The 12 morphological characters surveyed include the traditional characters used to define the families and other morphological features taken from observations of tyrannoid syr- inges and hindlimb arteries. Five traditional characters are phylogeneti- cally uninformative. The remaining seven characters support 25 maxi- mally parsimonious phylogenetic hypotheses of length 10 (CI = 0.70). A strict consensus tree based on these trees has few resolved clades, but indicates that neither the Pipridae nor the Cotingidae as traditionally defined is monophyletic. Six currently recognized genera of Pipridae- Schiffornis, Sapayoa, Piprites, Neopipo, Neopelma, and Tyranneutes-share de- rived morphological characters with other, non-piprid tyrannoids. The other eleven piprid genera-4hloropip0, Xenopipo, Antilophia, Heterocercus, Machaeropterus, Manacus, Corapipo, Ilicura, Masiur, Chiroxiphia, and Pipra- form a clade diagnosed by the dorsal fusion of the B1-2 syringeal sup- porting elements. A large clade including most cotingids is supported by a derived syringeal muscle character and provides evidence of the mono- phyly of the cotingids, but this character conflicts with other derived morphological features. Additional data are required to resolve many portions of tyrannoid higher-level phylogeny.

  • Brazil's Eastern Amazonia
    The loud and impressive White Bellbird, one of the many highlights on the Brazil’s Eastern Amazonia 2017 tour (Eduardo Patrial) BRAZIL’S EASTERN AMAZONIA 8/16 – 26 AUGUST 2017 LEADER: EDUARDO PATRIAL This second edition of Brazil’s Eastern Amazonia was absolutely a phenomenal trip with over five hundred species recorded (514). Some adjustments happily facilitated the logistics (internal flights) a bit and we also could explore some areas around Belem this time, providing some extra good birds to our list. Our time at Amazonia National Park was good and we managed to get most of the important targets, despite the quite low bird activity noticed along the trails when we were there. Carajas National Forest on the other hand was very busy and produced an overwhelming cast of fine birds (and a Giant Armadillo!). Caxias in the end came again as good as it gets, and this time with the novelty of visiting a new site, Campo Maior, a place that reminds the lowlands from Pantanal. On this amazing tour we had the chance to enjoy the special avifauna from two important interfluvium in the Brazilian Amazon, the Madeira – Tapajos and Xingu – Tocantins; and also the specialties from a poorly covered corner in the Northeast region at Maranhão and Piauí states. Check out below the highlights from this successful adventure: Horned Screamer, Masked Duck, Chestnut- headed and Buff-browed Chachalacas, White-crested Guan, Bare-faced Curassow, King Vulture, Black-and- white and Ornate Hawk-Eagles, White and White-browed Hawks, Rufous-sided and Russet-crowned Crakes, Dark-winged Trumpeter (ssp.
