  • A Preliminary Reassessment of Philippine Species-Level Bird Taxonomy
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by KU ScholarWorks Bird Conservation International (2006) 16:155–173. BirdLife International 2006 doi:10.1017/S0959270906000256 Printed in the United Kingdom Taxonomy is important in conservation: a preliminary reassessment of Philippine species-level bird taxonomy A. TOWNSEND PETERSON SummarySummarySummary Alpha taxonomy involves delineation of the basic unit of biology: the species. The concepts by which we define species, however, have been controversial, with several alternatives competing at present, some creating fewer and some more species units, depending on interpretation of species limits. Although it is tempting to assume that species concepts would have little inter- action with the geographic foci of species richness and endemism — and some have so argued — this assumption does not withstand careful analysis. In this paper, I develop a first-pass assessment of Philippine bird taxonomy under an alternative species concept, and compare the results with the traditional biological species concept lists. Differences between the two lists were dramatic, but not just in numbers of species; rather, new, previously unrecognized or previously underappreciated foci of endemism were noted. A thorough understanding of the taxonomic basis of species lists is therefore critical to conservation planning. Introduction Recent taxonomic studies have pointed out conservation implications of their results for several parts of the world (Boon et al. 2000; Lovette et al. 1999; Ortíz-Pulido et al. 2002): new viewpoints on species limits led to new priorities for conservation action, mainly via recognition of ‘new’ (although not necessarily undescribed) species-level taxa.

  • Disaggregation of Bird Families Listed on Cms Appendix Ii
    Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals 2nd Meeting of the Sessional Committee of the CMS Scientific Council (ScC-SC2) Bonn, Germany, 10 – 14 July 2017 UNEP/CMS/ScC-SC2/Inf.3 DISAGGREGATION OF BIRD FAMILIES LISTED ON CMS APPENDIX II (Prepared by the Appointed Councillors for Birds) Summary: The first meeting of the Sessional Committee of the Scientific Council identified the adoption of a new standard reference for avian taxonomy as an opportunity to disaggregate the higher-level taxa listed on Appendix II and to identify those that are considered to be migratory species and that have an unfavourable conservation status. The current paper presents an initial analysis of the higher-level disaggregation using the Handbook of the Birds of the World/BirdLife International Illustrated Checklist of the Birds of the World Volumes 1 and 2 taxonomy, and identifies the challenges in completing the analysis to identify all of the migratory species and the corresponding Range States. The document has been prepared by the COP Appointed Scientific Councilors for Birds. This is a supplementary paper to COP document UNEP/CMS/COP12/Doc.25.3 on Taxonomy and Nomenclature UNEP/CMS/ScC-Sc2/Inf.3 DISAGGREGATION OF BIRD FAMILIES LISTED ON CMS APPENDIX II 1. Through Resolution 11.19, the Conference of Parties adopted as the standard reference for bird taxonomy and nomenclature for Non-Passerine species the Handbook of the Birds of the World/BirdLife International Illustrated Checklist of the Birds of the World, Volume 1: Non-Passerines, by Josep del Hoyo and Nigel J.

  • Aliens; a Catastrophe for Native Fresh Water Fish Diversity in Pakistan
    The Journal of Animal and Plant Sciences, 21(2 Suppl.): 2011, Page: 435-440 ISSN: 1018-7081 ALIENS; A CATASTROPHE FOR NATIVE FRESH WATER FISH DIVERSITY IN PAKISTAN A. M. Khan, Z. Ali, S. Y. Shelly* Z. Ahmad** and M. R. Mirza** Department of Zoology, University of the Punjab, Lahore *Department of Fisheries, Government of Punjab, Munawan, Lahore. Department of Zoology, Government College University, Lahore Corresponding author e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Pakistan has introduced several alien exotic fish species e.g. grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella), bighead carp, (Hypophthalmichthys nobilis), silver carp, (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix), common carp (Cyprinus carpio), gold fish (Carassius auratus), and three species of tilapia (Oreochromis aureus, Oreochromis mossambicus, Oreochromis niloticus) in warm waters along with two trout species: the rainbow trout (Onchorynchus mykiss) and the brown trout (Salmo trutta fario) in colder regions for specific purposes like sport fishing, yield enhancement and biological control of aquatic weeds and mosquitoes. The exotic species are becoming invasive in the freshwater biomes of the Punjab and other provinces of Pakistan by reason of their potent reproductive potential and feeding competitions with the native freshwater fish fauna. Resultantly the native fish species viz; Channa marulius, Wallago attu, Rita rita, Sperata sarwari, Gibelion catla, Cirrhinus mrigala and Labeo rohita, which are of economic value are under threat. Key words: Exotic, invasions, freshwater, fish fauna, Pakistan. wild, 421 (35 %) are reported as not established and 177 INTRODUCTION (15 %) with unknown establishment (Fish base, 2003).

  • A Classification of the Rallidae
    A CLASSIFICATION OF THE RALLIDAE STARRY L. OLSON HE family Rallidae, containing over 150 living or recently extinct species T and having one of the widest distributions of any family of terrestrial vertebrates, has, in proportion to its size and interest, received less study than perhaps any other major group of birds. The only two attempts at a classifi- cation of all of the recent rallid genera are those of Sharpe (1894) and Peters (1934). Although each of these lists has some merit, neither is satisfactory in reflecting relationships between the genera and both often separate closely related groups. In the past, no attempt has been made to identify the more primitive members of the Rallidae or to illuminate evolutionary trends in the family. Lists almost invariably begin with the genus Rdus which is actually one of the most specialized genera of the family and does not represent an ancestral or primitive stock. One of the difficulties of rallid taxonomy arises from the relative homo- geneity of the family, rails for the most part being rather generalized birds with few groups having morphological modifications that clearly define them. As a consequence, particularly well-marked genera have been elevated to subfamily rank on the basis of characters that in more diverse families would not be considered as significant. Another weakness of former classifications of the family arose from what Mayr (194933) referred to as the “instability of the morphology of rails.” This “instability of morphology,” while seeming to belie what I have just said about homogeneity, refers only to the characteristics associated with flightlessness-a condition that appears with great regularity in island rails and which has evolved many times.

In the present study, the structure and morphometrics of alimentary canal of Rasborine fishes (11 species belonging to 8 genera) are described in relation to their food and feeding habits. The general pattern of alimentary canal was found to be similar but according to their feeding habit some morphological features was showing dissimilarity. The pattern and length of alimentary canal indicated inter and intraspecific variations. The stomach content analysis revealed that Amblypharyngodon mola , Aspidoparia morar, Barilius bendelisis, Esomus danricus mainly depended on vegetable matter whereas Barilius barila Hamilton, Barilius barna Hamilton, Barilius vagra Hamilton, Branchydanio rerio , Danio devario Hamilton, Raiamas bola, Rasbora (Rasbora ) daniconius daniconius depended on animal matter. It has been observed that the rasborine fishes are predominantly larvivorous i.e. feeding on insect larvae except for Raiamas which is a carnivore. Keywords: Alimentary Canal, Morphological features, Rasborinae, Food and Feeding, Stomach content INTRODUCTION The fishes of the subfamily Rasborinae of family Cyprinidae are small sized individuals with a streamlined body and have been adjudged as a group of great economic importance from, aesthetic, medical, fishery and game points of view (Jain and Tilak, 2010).

Most of us arrived a bit early and had ample time to bird the grounds of the hotel, where numerous species were to be found, and included colourful Rose-ringed Parakeets, Brahminy Starlings and noisy Jungle Babbler. A flowering silk cotton tree was particularly productive for the birds. We even got our first mammal of the trip with a Five-striped Palm Squirrel. This common and confiding species would in fact be seen on every single day of the tour! Early the next morning, we headed through the crowded streets of Delhi to the train station. Our train was a bit delayed, but while we waited a Rhesus Macaque entertained us with its antics. In India, humans and wildlife live alongside in a way that is not often seen in many countries! Not much later, we were boarding our train and heading south and west from the capital and into the state of Tiger Cub by Ansar Khan Rajasthan. As we watched the fascinating countryside go by, we got brief views of Nilgai, or Blue Bull, from the train, along with a couple of pairs of Sarus Cranes.

  • (Orthotomus Sutorius) Parasitism by Plaintive Cuckoo
    Nahid et al. Avian Res (2016) 7:14 DOI 10.1186/s40657-016-0049-y Avian Research SHORT REPORT Open Access First record of Common Tailorbird (Orthotomus sutorius) parasitism by Plaintive Cuckoo (Cacomantis merulinus) in Bangladesh Mominul Islam Nahid1,2, Frode Fossøy1, Sajeda Begum2, Eivin Røskaft1 and Bård G. Stokke1* Abstract The Plaintive Cuckoo (Cacomantis merulinus) is a widespread brood parasite in Asia, but no data on host species utili- zation in Bangladesh exist. By searching for nests of all possible host species of the Plaintive Cuckoo at Jahangirnagar university campus, north of Dhaka, we were able to determine which hosts were used in this area. We found that the Common Tailorbird (Orthotomus sutorius) was the only potential host used by Plaintive Cuckoos, and parasitism rate was rather high (31.3 %, n 16). However, both host and cuckoo breeding success was poor (0 %, n 16) due to fre- quent nest predation. Details= on host and cuckoo egg appearance are provided. Our findings indicate= that Common Tailorbirds are common hosts of the Plaintive Cuckoo in Central Bangladesh.
