These species illustrate the close relationships between their host generaAepypo­ dius and Talegalla, and suggest that Alectura is more distantly related. An overview is given of the hospitalic distribu­ tion of all genera of chewing lice so far known off the Megapodiidae, with special reference toAepypodius arfakianus and A. bruijnii. Key words Aepypodius bruijnii, Amblycera, Ischnocera, new species & subspecies, parasitophyletic studies, Waigeo. Zusammenfassung Nach dem Autor vorliegendem noch sehr lückenhaften und zumeist von alten Museumsbälgen stammenden Material werden die folgenden auf dem BraunbrusttalegallaAepypodius bruijnii (O ustalet, 1880) nachgewiesenen Federlinge beschrieben: die Amblyceren Kelerimenopon aepypodi Price & Emerson , 1966 sensu lato und Talegalligogus wil­ helmi waigeuensis n. ssp. und die Ischnoceren Megathellipeurus mumesensis n. sp., „Oxylipeurus“ aepypodius Clay, 1938, Talegallipeurus tenuis Mey, 1983, Weehalia hakalphilus n. sp. und Homocerus sp. Diese Arten weisen auf enge verwandtschaftliche Beziehungen ihrer Wirtsgattungen Aepypodius und Talegalla, denen Alcetura ferner steht. Unter besonderer Berücksichtigung von Aepypodius arfakianus und A. bruijnii wird die hospitale Verbreitung aller bisher auf Großfußhühnern (Megapodiidae) festgestellten amblyzeren und ischnozeren Federlingsgattungen zur Übersicht gebracht.

E-mail: [email protected] Key words: Megapodiidae; megapodes; action plan; conservation; current projects; IUCN threat cate- gories. Megapodes: an action plan for their conservation 1995 - 1999, a collaborative effort of members of the Megapode Specialist Group and the World Pheasant Association, was published in 1995. It summa- rizes the conservation status of all megapode taxa and indicates the needs of those species under threat. The Action Plan was intended to be a stimulus for conservation orientated studies and to gen- erate funds more easily. An overview is given of studies (1990 - present) in which these threatened taxa were involved. The status of these and other taxa are reassessed according to the finalized IUCN threat categories (which supercede the Mace-Lande threat categories originally used in the Action Plan) as a preparation for the megapode action plan 2000 - 2004. Introduction Megapodes: an action plan for their conservation 1995 - 1999 (Dekker & McGowan, 1995) was published by the Species Survival Commission (SSC) of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) in 1995 following a Conservation Assessment Management Plan (CAMP) meeting on galliforms held in Antwerp, Bel- gium, in February 1993. The megapode action plan, soon followed by action plans for partridges, quails, francolins, snowcocks and guineafowl (McGowan et al., 1995) and pheasants (McGowan & Garson, 1995), was the first avian action plan published by the IUCN in their series of conservation action plans.

Typically, mound- builders capture heat released from the decomposition of organic materials, while burrow-nesters lay their eggs in geothermal or solar-heated soils. The evolutionary path towards novel incubation behaviours has led to ecological and physiological adaptations unique to megapodes. Here, we present a species tree for all extant megapodes that settles long-standing debates about mega- pode evolution: namely, their biogeographical origins and ancestral nesting behaviour. Location Australasia. Methods A time-calibrated multilocus species tree for all extant megapodes was constructed using *beast. We estimated and compared divergence dates for megapodes obtained from molecular rates, fossils, and a combination of fossils and rates. Using this tree, Bayesian estimation of ancestral nesting behaviour was conducted in BayesTraits and ancestral ranges were estimated in BioGeoBEARS. Results Recent dispersal has led to the recolonization of mainland Australia and New Guinea by Megapodius. Bayesian estimation of ancestral states indi- cates that mound building is the most probable ancestral nesting behaviour in megapodes (posterior probability = 0.75). Burrow nesting was acquired early in the diversification of the family (at least 14 Ma), followed by a single switch back to mound building.

  • Status Report on Indonesian Galliformes
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by KUKILA STATUS REPORT ON INDONESIAN GALLIFORMES Compiled by D.A. Holmes Introduction This is a preliminary report on the status of galliformes in Indonesia, which has been prepared with three objectives: to alert conservationists to areas of danger, to demonstrate the paucity of data for most species, and to serve as a basis for updating Information. An IUCN/ICBP Red Data Book 'category is given for each species (endangered, vulnerable, rare, Indeterminate and out of danger), but it cannot be too strongly emphasized that this category, which refers only to Indonesia, is PROVISIONAL; in many cases it 1s little more than a guess. Against each species is also stated whether or not -it is protected under Indonesian law. Direct human Intervention is believed to threaten especially the megapodes, which are heavily exploited for their eggs. Traditionally this has been done on a more or less sustainable basis, but there is accumulating evidence that any sharp increase in rural population, for example on government-sponsored transmigration schemes or spontaneous inflow of farmers from other regions, may quickly result in extermination of populations locally, especially for those megapodes that breed colonially. R. Dekker (pers. comm.) states that any one species may give an impression of being common, but if these are only adult birds, it is possible that the eggs are already being over-harvested and the population is not being replaced. Thus surveys, mapping, monitoring and management of breeding sites of certain species may be an urgent priority. Loss of habitat is the second main threat for all galliformes that are dependent on a forest habitat; this applies especially to the lowland specialists, island endemics, and those intolerant of disturbance through logging.

Tobias (Speaker), Mr J. Verhelst and Mr P. Wilkinson. Joe Tobias gave a talk entitled The shape of birds, and why it maters. Birds vary widely in size from the Bee Hummingbird Mellisuga helenae to Common Ostrich Struthio camelus, and come in a staggering range of shapes. Last century, the feld of eco-morphology began to shed light on the way birds are shaped by habitat preferences and foraging behaviour, but studies focused on relatively few species and left numerous gaps in understanding. Joe’s talk explored recent research based on detailed measurements of almost all of the world’s bird species, and described how this new infux of information has been combined with spatial, phylogenetic and ecological data to help answer some fundamental questions, such as how does bird diversity arise, and how can it best be conserved?

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.
