Iridescent plumage colors are produced by nanostructures in 10 feathers and have evolved in a wide variety of birds. The building blocks of these 11 structures—melanosomes (melanin-filled organelles)—come in a variety of forms, yet how 12 these different forms contribute to color production across birds remains unclear. Here, we 13 leverage evolutionary analyses, optical simulations and reflectance spectrophotometry to 14 uncover general principles that govern the production of brilliant iridescence. We find that a 15 key feature that unites all melanosome forms in brilliant iridescent structures is thin melanin 16 layers. Birds have achieved this in multiple ways: by decreasing the size of the melanosome 17 directly, by hollowing out the interior, or by flattening the melanosome into a platelet. The 18 evolution of thin melanin layers unlocks color-producing possibilities, more than doubling 19 the range of colors that can be produced with a thick melanin layer and simultaneously 20 increasing brightness.

  • Especies Vegetales En Peligro, Su Distribución Y Estatus De Conservación De Los Ecosistemas Donde Se Presentan
    ESPECIES VEGETALES EN PELIGRO, SU DISTRIBUCIÓN Y ESTATUS DE CONSERVACIÓN DE LOS ECOSISTEMAS DONDE SE PRESENTAN ENDANGERED VEGETAL SPECIES, THEIR DISTRIBUTION AND CONSERVATION STATUS OF THE ECOSYSTEMS IN WHICH THEY OCCUR Mario Humberto Royo-Márquez1, Alicia Melgoza-Castillo2 y Gustavo Quintana-Martínez2 RESUMEN En México, la norma oficial mexicana (NOM-059-SEMARNAT-2010) integra especies de flora y fauna silvestres en riesgo, pero no especifica su distribución geográfica. Como base para la realización de planes de conservación en el estado de Chihuahua es importante identificar las plantas incluidas en dicha norma, otras que deberían integrarse por su distribución restringida y rareza, así como el estado de conservación de los ecosistemas donde se presentan. En este contexto, se revisó una base de datos de alrededor de 4 000 especies de la flora de la entidad; se consultó la literatura disponible; y se realizaron visitas a diversos herbarios. En total se documentaron 195 taxa, 59 con estatus según la NOM-059, pertenecientes a 40 géneros y 21 familias, de los cuales, 19 especies son endémicas para México. Además, se proponen 31 taxa de 23 géneros y nueve familias, para ser estudiadas y evaluar su posible incorporación en la Norma, ya que son endemismos locales o registros únicos para México. Se sugieren 105 especies consideradas como raras, incluidas en 76 géneros y 37 familias. Los bosques y pastizales presentan el mayor número de especies con estatus y la más grande superficie con vegetación secundaria, lo que indica que esos ecosistemas presentan diversos grados de deterioro. Se requieren estudios poblacionales de las especies propuestas para plantear estrategias de conservación y manejo sustentable de los ecosistemas donde se desarrollan.

Powers Introduction Rivoli's Hummingbird was named in honor of the Duke of Rivoli when the species was described by René Lesson in 1829 (1). Even when it became known that William Swainson had written an earlier description of this species in 1827, the common name Rivoli's Hummingbird remained until the early 1980s, when it was changed to Magnificent Hummingbird. In 2017, however, the name was restored to Rivoli's Hummingbird when the American Ornithological Society officially recognized Eugenes fulgens as a distinct species from E. spectabilis, the Talamanca Hummingbird, of the highlands of Costa Rica and western Panama (2).

West Nile virus ecology has yet to be rigorously investigated in the Caribbean Basin. We identified a transmission focus in Puerto Barrios, Guatemala, and established systematic monitoring of avian abundance and infec- tion, seroconversions in domestic poultry, and viral infections in mosquitoes. West Nile virus transmission was detected annually between May and October from 2005 to 2008. High temperature and low rainfall enhanced the probability of chicken seroconversions, which occurred in both urban and rural sites. West Nile virus was isolated from Culex quinquefasciatus and to a lesser extent, from Culex mollis/Culex inflictus, but not from the most abundant Culex mosquito, Culex nigripalpus. A calculation that combined avian abundance, seroprevalence, and vertebrate reservoir competence suggested that great-tailed grackle (Quiscalus mexicanus) is the major amplifying host in this ecosystem.

VALUES IN TRANSITION: THE CHIRICAHUA APACHE FROM 1886-1914 John W Ragsdale, Jr.* Abstract Law confirms but seldom determines the course of a society. Values and beliefs, instead, are the true polestars, incrementally implemented by the laws, customs, and policies. The Chiricahua Apache, a tribal society of hunters, gatherers, and raiders in the mountains and deserts of the Southwest, were squeezed between the growing populations and economies of the United States and Mexico. Raiding brought response, reprisal, and ultimately confinement at the loathsome San Carlos Reservation. Though most Chiricahua submitted to the beginnings of assimilation, a number of the hardiest and least malleable did not. Periodic breakouts, wild raids through New Mexico and Arizona, and a labyrinthian, nearly impenetrable sanctuary in the Sierra Madre led the United States to an extraordinary and unprincipled overreaction.
