Accepted: 26 May 2020 Abstract The resolution of the Tree of Life has accelerated with advances in DNA sequencing technology. To achieve dense taxon sampling, it is often necessary to obtain DNA from historical museum specimens to supplement modern genetic samples. However, DNA from historical material is generally degraded, which presents various challenges. In this study, we evaluated how the coverage at variant sites and missing data among historical and modern samples impacts phylogenomic inference. We explored these patterns in the brush-tongued parrots (lories and lorikeets) of Australasia by sampling ultraconserved elements in 105 taxa. Trees estimated with low coverage characters had several clades where relationships appeared to be influenced by whether the sample came from historical or modern specimens, which were not observed when more stringent filtering was applied. To assess if the topologies were affected by missingdata,weperformedanoutlieranalysisofsitesandloci,andadatareductionapproachwhereweexcludedsitesbasedondata completeness. Depending on the outlier test, 0.15% of total sites or 38% of loci were driving the topological differences among trees, and at these sites, historical samples had 10.9Â more missing data than modern ones.

Thun Hohenstein, M. Cangemi, I. Fiore, J. De Grossi Mazzorin ISBN 978-88-906832-2-0 Marco M.G. Masseti Università di Firenze, Dipartimento di Biologia, Laboratori di Antropologia ed Etnologia Carpaccio’s parrots and the early trade in exotic birds between the West Pacific islands and Europe I pappagalli del Carpaccio e l’antico commercio di uccelli esotici fra il Pacifico occidentale e l’Europa Summary - Among the Early Renaissance painters, Vittore Carpaccio (Venice or Capodistria, c. 1465 – 1525/1526) offers some of the finest impressions of the Most Serene Republic at the height of its power and wealth, also illustrating the rich merchandise traded with even the most remote parts of the then known world. For the same reason he portrayed in his paintings many exotic species of mammals and birds which were regarded as very rare and precious, perhaps such as the cardinal lory, Chalcopsitta cardinalis Gray, 1849, and/or the black lory, Chalcopsitta atra atra (Scopoli, 1786), native to the most distant Indo- Pacific archipelagos. Indeed, in Europe foreign animals were often kept in the menageries of the aristocracy, representing an authentic status symbol that underscored the affluence and social position of their owners. This paper provides the opportunity for a reflection on the origins of the trade of exotic birds - or parts of them – between the West Pacific islands and Europe.

Evening meetings are held in an upstairs room at The Barley Mow, 104 Horseferry Road, Westminster, London SW1P 2EE. The nearest Tube stations are Victoria and St James’s Park; and the 507 bus, which runs from Victoria to Waterloo, stops nearby. For maps, see http://www.markettaverns.co.uk/the_barley_mow. html or ask the Chairman for directions. The cash bar opens at 6.00 pm and those who wish to eat after the meeting can place an order. The talk will start at 6.30 pm and, with questions, will last c.1 hour. It would be very helpful if those intending to come can notify the Chairman no later than the day before the meeting. Tuesday 23 September 2014—6.30 pm—Dr Andrew Gosler—Ornithology to ethno-ornithology Abstract: Why are we ornithologists? Because we are fascinated by birds, yes, but why are humans so captivated by the ecology, evolution and behaviour of another vertebrate group that a UK Government Chief Scientist should complain that a disproportionate amount was spent on bird research to the detriment of other taxa? Whatever the answer to this, the fact that humans everywhere are enthralled by birds should point the way to how we might engage, re-engage or differently engage people in all countries with nature, and so focus resources most effectively for its conservation.

Blue Bird-of-paradise Tour Summary Our tour of Papua New Guinea began as we boarded our aircraft to the South Pacific islands of the Bismarck Archipelago for the pre-tour extension. First-off, we visited the rainforest of the Pokili Wildlife Management Area which holds the largest breeding colony of Melanesian Scrubfowl in the world. It was an amazing experience to wander through the massive colony of these bizarre birds. We also managed outstanding views of the gorgeous Black-headed Paradise-Kingfisher, Blue-eyed Cockatoo and Red- knobbed Imperial-Pigeon. Some participants were fortunate to spot the rare Black Honey Buzzard. Then we took time to explore several small, remote tropical islands in the Bismarck Sea and were rewarded with sightings of Black-naped Tern, the boldly attractive Beach Kingfisher, Mackinlay’s Cuckoo-Dove and the extraordinary shaggy Nicobar Pigeon. Back on the main island, we visited the Pacific Adventist University, where we found a roosting Papuan Frogmouth, White-headed Shelduck and Comb-crested Jacana.

Eight months, commencing as soon as funds are available 1.6 Cost of Project US$ 58,000 1.7 Project Summary Psitteuteles iris is endemic to the islands of Timor and Wetar in Indonesia, where its status is unknown, although it is thought to be scarce in part of its range. There are three subspecies: the nominate (P. iris iris) confined to West Timor; P. iris rubripileum in eastern Timor and P. iris wetterensis on Wetar. A population of 10,000 was estimated in 1993, based on anecdotal field information, and is regarded as possibly declining. Under the new IUCN Red List criteria, Psitteuteles iris is considered to be vulnerable. Psitteuteles iris was reported to be the least common of the three species of lorikeets occurring on Timor, where recent observations suggest that it is scarce. Its status on Wetar is unknown. It was observed there in the vicinity of a village in 1990, but no ornithologists have visited the island recently. International concern for the P. iris arose as a consequence of the paucity of information about its status; the setting of quotas with no biological basis and the international trade reported to CITES.

  • The Juvenile Food-Begging Calls and Associated Behaviour in the Lorikeets
    VOL. 17 (2) JUNE 1997 61 AUSTRALIAN BIRD WATCHER 1997, 17, 61-70 The Juvenile Food-begging Calls and Associated Behaviour in the Lorikeets by JOHN COURTNEY, 'Ashgrove', Swan Vale, via Glen Innes, N.S.W. 2370 Summary The juvenile food-begging calls of representative species of eight of the 11 genera of lorikeets were studied and compared with those of other Australian parrots and cockatoos. The food-begging call of most species is a uniform repeated hissing note. The calls of two genera, Charmosyna and Vini (incorporating Phigys), are a repeated tremulous trill. On the basis of their trilling food-begging calls, it is suggested that the Psittaculirostris fig-parrots may be related to Charmosyna and Vini. Introduction The present paper, on the juvenile food-begging calls and begging postures of the lorikeets, is a continuation of a study covering these aspects in all groups of Australian parrots and cockatoos (Courtney 1996, 1997). The methods used and a discussion of food-begging calls were outlined in those papers. It is emphasised that the project, for all parrot groups studied, is simply a survey and qualitative description of these calls. Where differences in these calls between species or groups have been great or, conversely, where similarities have been undeniable even without statistical analysis, taxonomic conclusions have been drawn where appropriate. The lorikeets are a large assemblage of parrots, with 55 species in 11 genera, which occur widely through the Australasian Region and east into Polynesia, with one species extending north to the Philippines (Forshaw 1978). Six species in three genera occur in mainland Australia (Christidis & Boles 1994).
