RICKART1 AND GUY G. MUSSER2 ABSTRACT Karyotypes are reported for 13 murines be- bers of 50 and 88, respectively, indicating longing to the endemic Philippine genera Apomys, substantial chromosomal variability within that Archboldomys, Batomys, Bullimus, Chrotomys, genus. Archboldomys (2N = 26, FN = 43) has an Phloeomys, and Rhynchomys, and the widespread aberrant sex chromosome system and a karyotype genus Rattus. The karyotype of Phloeomys cum- that is substantially different from other taxa stud- ingi (2N = 44, FN = 66) differs from that of P. ied. The karyotype ofBullimus bagobus (2N = 42, pallidus (2N = 40, FN = 60), and both are chro- FN = ca. 58) is numerically similar to that of the mosomally distinct from other taxa examined. Two native Rattus everetti and the two non-native spe- species of Batomys (2N = 52), Chrotomys gon- cies ofRattus, R. tanezumi and R. exulans. Chro- zalesi (2N = 44), Rhynchomys isarogensis (2N = mosomal data corroborate some phylogenetic re- 44), and Apomys musculus (2N = 42) have FN = lationships inferred from morphology, and support 52-53 and a predominance of telocentric chro- the hypothesis that the Philippine murid fauna is mosomes. Two other species ofApomys have dip- composed of separate clades representing inde- loid numbers of30 and 44, and fundamental num- pendent ancestral invasions of the archipelago.

  • West Papua – Birds-Of-Paradise and Endemics of the Arfaks and Waigeo
    INDONESIA: WEST PAPUA – BIRDS-OF-PARADISE AND ENDEMICS OF THE ARFAKS AND WAIGEO 03 – 14 AUGUST 2022 03 – 14 AUGUST 2023 Wilson’s Bird-of-paradise is often considered one of the best-looking birds in the world! www.birdingecotours.com [email protected] 2 | ITINERARY Indonesia: West Papua – Arfak and Waigeo New Guinea is a geographic rather than political term that refers to the main island in the region. The western half of the island of New Guinea comprises the Indonesian provinces of West Papua (Papua Barat) and Papua, collectively once called West Irian or Irian Jaya; the eastern half of the main island of New Guinea comprises the country of Papua New Guinea. We will be based in West Papua for this exhilarating, small-group birding adventure. Aside from the large landmass of New Guinea, the New Guinea region includes numerous small islands (some part of Indonesia and others part of Papua New Guinea), and we will visit one of these areas: Waigeo, part of the Raja Ampat Archipelago in West Papua (also known as the Northwestern Islands). Approximately 680 bird species have been recorded from West Papua, from slightly more than 700 for the whole New Guinea region. Some 550 species are considered breeding residents, with 279 New Guinea endemics (found in Indonesia and/or Papua New Guinea) and at least an additional 42 endemics found only in West Papua. There are also over 115 Palearctic and Australian migrant species and a range of seabirds which spend some of their time in West Papua. This tour will begin in the town of Manokwari, situated on the north-eastern tip of West Papua's Bird's Head (or Vogelkop) Peninsula where we could get our tour started with the gorgeous Lesser Bird-of-paradise, this area is usually great for Blyth’s Hornbill and numerous fruit doves.
