ABSTRACT.— A group of several Andean Parakeet (Bolborhynchus orbygnesius) individuals was observed, photographed and tape-recorded at Finca El Candado, near Los Cardones National Park, Salta Province, northwestern Argentina. There is no previously published record of Andean Parakeet from south of Cochabamba, Bolivia, although there is a tape-recording from Tarija, Bo- livia, which is about 350 km north-northwest of Finca El Candado. Additionally, there is an un- documented record of a group of birds 218 km north-northwest of Finca El Candado, between Valle Colorado and Santa Ana, in Jujuy Province, Argentina. Birds were coming to roost in a large stick nest that did not look like any described nest.

  • Between Species: Choreographing Human And
    BETWEEN SPECIES: CHOREOGRAPHING HUMAN AND NONHUMAN BODIES JONATHAN OSBORN A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN DANCE STUDIES YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO MAY, 2019 ã Jonathan Osborn, 2019 Abstract BETWEEN SPECIES: CHOREOGRAPHING HUMAN AND NONHUMAN BODIES is a dissertation project informed by practice-led and practice-based modes of engagement, which approaches the space of the zoo as a multispecies, choreographic, affective assemblage. Drawing from critical scholarship in dance literature, zoo studies, human-animal studies, posthuman philosophy, and experiential/somatic field studies, this work utilizes choreographic engagement, with the topography and inhabitants of the Toronto Zoo and the Berlin Zoologischer Garten, to investigate the potential for kinaesthetic exchanges between human and nonhuman subjects. In tracing these exchanges, BETWEEN SPECIES documents the creation of the zoomorphic choreographic works ARK and ARCHE and creatively mediates on: more-than-human choreography; the curatorial paradigms, embodied practices, and forms of zoological gardens; the staging of human and nonhuman bodies and bodies of knowledge; the resonances and dissonances between ethological research and dance ethnography; and, the anthropocentric constitution of the field of dance studies. ii Dedication Dedicated to the glowing memory of my nana, Patricia Maltby, who, through her relentless love and fervent belief in my potential, elegantly willed me into another phase of life, while she passed, with dignity and calm, into another realm of existence. iii Acknowledgements I would like to thank my phenomenal supervisor Dr. Barbara Sellers-Young and my amazing committee members Dr.

INTRODUCTION Not everyone is fortunate enough to visit Peru; a marvelous country that boasts a huge country bird list, which is second only to Colombia. Unlike our usual set departure, we started out with a daylong extension to Lomas de Lachay first, before starting out on the usual itinerary for the main tour. On this extra day we managed to 1 www.tropicalbirding.com +1-409-515-0514 [email protected] Page Tropical Birding Trip Report PERU: Manu and Machu Picchu Aug-Sept. 2015 find many extra birds like Peruvian Thick-knee, Least Seedsnipe, Peruvian Sheartail, Raimondi’s Yellow- Finch and the localized Cactus Canastero. The first site of the main tour was Huacarpay Lake, near the beautiful Andean city of Cusco (accessed after a short flight from Lima). This gave us a few endemic species like Bearded Mountaineer and Rusty-fronted Canastero; along with other less local species like Many-colored Rush-tyrant, Plumbeous Rail, Puna Teal, Andean Negrito and Puna Ibis. The following day we birded along the road towards Manu where we picked up birds like Peruvian Sierra-Finch, Chestnut-breasted Mountain-Finch, Spot-winged Pigeon, and a beautiful Peruvian endemic in the form of Creamy-crested Spinetail. We also saw Yungas Pygmy-Owl, Black-faced Ibis, Hooded and Scarlet-bellied Mountain- Tanagers, Red-crested Cotinga and the gorgeous Grass-green Tanager.

  • Conservation Implications of Illegal Bird Trade and Disease
    CONSERVATION IMPLICATIONS OF ILLEGAL BIRD TRADE AND DISEASE RISK IN PERU A Dissertation by ELIZABETH FRANCES DAUT Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Donald J. Brightsmith Co-Chair of Committee, Markus J. Peterson Committee Members, Renata Ivanek-Miojevic Christian Brannstrom Head of Department, Roger Smith III May 2015 Major Subject: Veterinary Microbiology Copyright 2015 Elizabeth Frances Daut ABSTRACT Trade in wild-caught animals as pets is a global conservation and animal-welfare concern. Illegal and poorly-regulated legal wildlife trade can threaten biodiversity, spread infectious diseases, and result in considerable animal suffering and mortality. I used illegal wildlife trade in Peru, specifically native bird trade, as a case study to explore important aspects and consequences of the trade for domestic markets. With data collected from a five-year market survey and governmental seizure records, I applied a statistical modeling approach to investigate the influence of Peru’s legal export quota system on the country’s illegal domestic bird trade. I used an infectious-disease mathematical modeling approach to analyze how illegal harvest influenced disease dynamics in a wild parrot population. Finally, I used qualitative research methods to investigate the role of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and their members’ philosophical perspectives toward wildlife in combating illegal trade. I found that Peru had a thriving illegal trade in native birds (mostly parrots) for domestic consumers; 150 species were recorded in markets and/or seizures with over 35,250 individuals offered for sale (2007–2011).

Arxius de Miscel·lània Zoològica, 19: 7–52, Doi: https://doi.org/10.32800/amz.2021.19.0007 Abstract Checklist of chewing lice (Phthiraptera: Amblycera and Ischnocera) on birds of Peru. Peru is one of the countries with the highest diversity of birds worldwide, having about 1,876 species in its territory. However, studies focused on chewing lice (Phthiraptera) have been carried out on only a minority of bird species. The available data are distributed in 87 publications in the national and international literature. In this checklist we summarize all the records to date of chewing lice on wild and domestic birds in Peru. Among the 301 species of birds studied, 266 species of chewing lice were recorded. The localities with the highest records were the Departments of Cusco, Junín, Lima and Madre de Dios. No records of birds pa- rasitized by these lice have been found in seven departments of Peru. Studies related to lice have only been reported in 16 % of bird species in the country, indicating that research concerning chewing lice has not yet been performed for the the majority of birds in Peru.

  • The Illegal Parrot Trade in the Neo-Tropics
    THE ILLEGAL PARROT TRADE IN THE NEO-TROPICS: THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN POACHING AND ILLICIT PET MARKETS By Stephen Ferreira Pires © 2011 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School – Newark Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey in Partial Fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Criminal Justice Written under the direction of Dr. Ronald Clarke and approved by _________________________________________ _________________________________________ _________________________________________ _________________________________________ Newark, New Jersey January, 2012 1 Abstract Due to the global illegal parrot trade in conjunction with habitat loss, parrots are among the most threatened bird species in the world. Despite laws against parrot poaching throughout the neo-tropics, the lack of enforcement in the wild and in city pet markets enables poachers, itinerant fences (i.e. middlemen), and sellers to continue in the illegal wildlife trade while parrot populations further decline. Recent publications, which take account of parrot poaching variation in Mexico, Bolivia, and Peru, have enabled criminologists to attempt to explain why some parrot species tend to be poached more often than others. Using two recent studies that look at illicit pet markets in 7 cities within Peru and Bolivia (Gastanaga et al., 2010; Herrera and Hennessey, 2008), this dissertation will analyze why some parrot species end up on any of the seven illicit pet markets (N=50) and why some species were never found on any illicit pet market despite their close proximity to one (N=17). Using the CRAVED model (Clarke, 1999) and the Choice-Structuring Properties (Clarke and Cornish, 1987) concept to examine the illegal parrot trade, this study finds that illicit parrot markets are not homogenous in nature.
