  • A Synopsis of the Pre-Human Avifauna of the Mascarene Islands
    – 195 – Paleornithological Research 2013 Proceed. 8th Inter nat. Meeting Society of Avian Paleontology and Evolution Ursula B. Göhlich & Andreas Kroh (Eds) A synopsis of the pre-human avifauna of the Mascarene Islands JULIAN P. HUME Bird Group, Department of Life Sciences, The Natural History Museum, Tring, UK Abstract — The isolated Mascarene Islands of Mauritius, Réunion and Rodrigues are situated in the south- western Indian Ocean. All are volcanic in origin and have never been connected to each other or any other land mass. Despite their comparatively close proximity to each other, each island differs topographically and the islands have generally distinct avifaunas. The Mascarenes remained pristine until recently, resulting in some documentation of their ecology being made before they rapidly suffered severe degradation by humans. The first major fossil discoveries were made in 1865 on Mauritius and on Rodrigues and in the late 20th century on Réunion. However, for both Mauritius and Rodrigues, the documented fossil record initially was biased toward larger, non-passerine bird species, especially the dodo Raphus cucullatus and solitaire Pezophaps solitaria. This paper provides a synopsis of the fossil Mascarene avifauna, which demonstrates that it was more diverse than previously realised. Therefore, as the islands have suffered severe anthropogenic changes and the fossil record is far from complete, any conclusions based on present avian biogeography must be viewed with caution. Key words: Mauritius, Réunion, Rodrigues, ecological history, biogeography, extinction Introduction ily described or illustrated in ships’ logs and journals, which became the source material for The Mascarene Islands of Mauritius, Réunion popular articles and books and, along with col- and Rodrigues are situated in the south-western lected specimens, enabled monographs such as Indian Ocean (Fig.

    From to : building regional capacity for biodiversity conservation and monitoring 2-13 April (field school) & 15-19 April (classroom) 13-31 August (field school) & 3-7 September (classroom) In partnership with Course overview The course “From Mauritius to Madagascar: building regional capacity for biodiversity conservation and monitoring” is the focus of a new three year Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund (CEPF) project aiming to increase regional capacity for biodiversity conservation in the Western Indian ocean. Technical skills for fauna/flora monitoring and ecosystem/species recovery will be developed through two separate field school training sessions conducted each year for the next three years: three weeks in Madagascar and five weeks in Mauritius, including one week in a classroom-based setting in each country. This eight week funded course will provide participants with different field-related experiences, together with the theory and human resource management skills needed to become more effective conservation leaders. It is a unique opportunity to learn directly through exchange of skills and understanding with organisations that have a track record of conservation success in the Western Indian Ocean islands. The programme is delivered by Durrell Conservation Academy, headquartered in Jersey, and Durrell Conservation Training Ltd (DCT) a not-for-profit training organisation based in Mauritius (part of Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust) in partnership with the Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund (CEPF), Mauritian Wildlife Foundation (MWF) and Association Vahatra. Two individuals per cohort will be selected after each eight week course for a place on the following 6 month Post Graduate Diploma in Endangered Species Conservation Management, delivered annually in Mauritius by Durrell Conservation Training Ltd.

  • The Pigeon Names Columba Livia, ‘C
    Thomas M. Donegan 14 Bull. B.O.C. 2016 136(1) The pigeon names Columba livia, ‘C. domestica’ and C. oenas and their type specimens by Thomas M. Donegan Received 16 March 2015 Summary.—The name Columba domestica Linnaeus, 1758, is senior to Columba livia J. F. Gmelin, 1789, but both names apply to the same biological species, Rock Dove or Feral Pigeon, which is widely known as C. livia. The type series of livia is mixed, including specimens of Stock Dove C. oenas, wild Rock Dove, various domestic pigeon breeds and two other pigeon species that are not congeners. In the absence of a plate unambiguously depicting a wild bird being cited in the original description, a neotype for livia is designated based on a Fair Isle (Scotland) specimen. The name domestica is based on specimens of the ‘runt’ breed, originally illustrated by Aldrovandi (1600) and copied by Willughby (1678) and a female domestic specimen studied but not illustrated by the latter. The name C. oenas Linnaeus, 1758, is also based on a mixed series, including at least one Feral Pigeon. The individual illustrated in one of Aldrovandi’s (1600) oenas plates is designated as a lectotype, type locality Bologna, Italy. The names Columba gutturosa Linnaeus, 1758, and Columba cucullata Linnaeus, 1758, cannot be suppressed given their limited usage. The issue of priority between livia and domestica, and between both of them and gutturosa and cucullata, requires ICZN attention. Other names introduced by Linnaeus (1758) or Gmelin (1789) based on domestic breeds are considered invalid, subject to implicit first reviser actions or nomina oblita with respect to livia and domestica.

In the pre- sent study, we investigate causes of mortality in the free-living population of endangered pink pigeons Columba mayeri, endemic to Mauritius. Fifty carcasses of free-living pink pigeons were found over a 5 yr period between January 2002 and December 2006. Causes of mortality and other post-mortem findings are reported for 43 of these birds, which were aged between 6 wk and 15 yr. The protozoan disease trichomonosis was the most common cause of death, with 22 (52%) freshly dead birds identified as dying from this disease. Four birds were suspected to have been killed by introduced mammalian predators, 4 died as the result of an impact injury and most of the remaining birds either died of unknown causes or the carcasses were too decomposed for necropsy.

  • 1 Supporting Information Supplementary Methods the Main Purposes of Use of Wild Animal and Plant Species Recorded in the Red
    1 Supporting information 2 3 Supplementary Methods 4 5 The main purposes of use of wild animal and plant species recorded in the Red List 6 7 We investigated the prevalence of different purposes of use from the use and trade information. 8 Because completing the Use and Trade classification scheme is not mandatory for Red List 9 assessors, we investigated the prevalence of Use and Trade coding to decide which species 10 groups to include in our analyses. We selected taxonomic groups for inclusion based on the 11 following criteria: i) >40% of all extant, data sufficient species, LC species and threatened 12 species have at least one purpose of use coded (thus selecting taxonomic groups with high 13 prevalence of use); and / or ii) the proportion of LC species with at least one purpose of use code 14 falls above or within the range of the proportion of species with Use and Trade coding across the 15 other Red List categories (thus also selecting taxonomic groups where use and trade may be 16 relatively low, but use and trade in LC species is coded to a similar level as that of species in 17 other RL categories). This limited our dataset to the following taxonomic groups which have 18 adequate recording of use and trade: birds, amphibians, reptiles, cycads, conifers and dicots from 19 the terrestrial group; and corals, bony fishes, crustaceans and cone snails from the aquatic species 20 group (Table S4).

Within these 14 species were in Least Concern (LC), 2 Data Deficit (DD), and 1 Critically Endangered (CR). Among these maximum numbers were found in the genus Treron (6) then Streptopelia (4), Columba and Ducula each 2, and Spilopelia and Macropygia 1. Observed doves were bred mostly all the year round. For hunting or pet purpose people sometime catch them and rear in cage and ultimately birds’die. For strong ‘Wildlife Act’ now doves of Bangladesh are living well and are increasing everywhere in nature as well. On the basis of evolutionary sequences pigeons/doves have great significance. It has lots of connecting links which are very important for the study of evolution. In fancy pigeons, their tumbling behaviour is an exceptional and peculiar characteristic which came through mutation then modified by millions of thousands selective breeding. From the history, we have found that pigeon/dove keeping was an ancient hobby of people. Large-sized birds are called pigeon and small are dove; but this is not true always. For message sending, pigeons had great commitment in the world.
