  • The 2008 IUCN Red Listings of the World's Small Carnivores
    The 2008 IUCN red listings of the world’s small carnivores Jan SCHIPPER¹*, Michael HOFFMANN¹, J. W. DUCKWORTH² and James CONROY³ Abstract The global conservation status of all the world’s mammals was assessed for the 2008 IUCN Red List. Of the 165 species of small carni- vores recognised during the process, two are Extinct (EX), one is Critically Endangered (CR), ten are Endangered (EN), 22 Vulnerable (VU), ten Near Threatened (NT), 15 Data Deficient (DD) and 105 Least Concern. Thus, 22% of the species for which a category was assigned other than DD were assessed as threatened (i.e. CR, EN or VU), as against 25% for mammals as a whole. Among otters, seven (58%) of the 12 species for which a category was assigned were identified as threatened. This reflects their attachment to rivers and other waterbodies, and heavy trade-driven hunting. The IUCN Red List species accounts are living documents to be updated annually, and further information to refine listings is welcome.

  • Some Anatomical Characters of the Cuculidae and the Musophagidae by Andrew J
    SOME ANATOMICAL CHARACTERS OF THE CUCULIDAE AND THE MUSOPHAGIDAE BY ANDREW J. BERGERl OST authors have placed the African touracos (“plantain-eaters”) and M the cosmopolitan cuckoos in a single order, the Cuculiformes or Cuculi (e.g., Mayr and Amadon, 1951, Wetmore, 1951). Bannerman (1933)) Moreau (1938,1958), Lowe (1943)) and Verheyen (1956a, 19563)) however, believed that the touracos deserve ordinal rank, the Musophagiformes. I agree with these authors but not for some of the reasons they cite. I have been interested in the anatomy and relationships of these two groups of birds for over a decade, but it now seems unlikely that it will be feasible to continue this work. Consequently, I have decided to publish certain informa- tion which, although still very incomplete, may prove useful to other investi- gators. The complete appendicular myology of a touraco apparently has never been described. My plan, therefore, is to describe this musculature for Tauraco leucotis donaldsoni (“Turacus donaldsoni”) and then to compare the myology, osteology, and pterylosis of this touraco with that of the cuckoos. Such a comparison can not be made properly without also analyzing differ- ences in morphology within the family Cuculidae. This paper is based on the dissection of one or more specimens of the follow- ing genera and species of cuckoos: Carpococcyx radiceus, Centropus bengal- ensis, C. superciliosus, C eu th mochares aereus, Chrysococcyx cupreus, Ch. (“Lampromorpha”) klaa s and caprius, Ch. (“Chalcites”) basalis, Clamator jacobinus, Coccyzus americanus, C. erythropthalmus, Coua serriuna, C. reynaudii, C. ruficeps, C. cristata, C. caerulea, Crotophaga sulcirostris, Cuculus canorus and sp., Dromococcyx pavoninus, Geococcyx californianus, Guira guira, Morococcyx erythropygus, Piuya cayana, Phuenicophaeus pyrrhoce- phalus, Saurothera merlini, Surniculus lugubris, Tapera naevia.

  • Biogeography on the Early Distribution of Cuckoos (Aves: Cuculiformes)

Caixa Postal 473, 17033-360 Bauru, SP, Brazil. 3 Corresponding author. E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT. Cuckoos are widely distributed, but are concentrated in the tropics, where they occupy a wide range of habitats. Both terrestrial and arboreal behaviors can be found in this group, but there is no consensus on as to whether these behaviors have arisen more than once. Moreover, the historical distribution of cuckoos is poorly understood. This paper presents a biogeographyc analysis of the early history of the distribution of these birds. The analysis was per- formed by using the Principle of Parsimony based on primary and secondary “Brooks Parsimony Analysis” (BPA). Despite some exceptions, the primary BPA corroborated events of vicariance (general pattern) in the early distribution of cuck- oos and a terrestrial ancestor widespread in the Gondwana. The most parsimonious hypothesis suggests that the distri- bution of terrestrial cuckoos (basal group) is associated with the break-up of the Gondwana (Early to Mid Cretaceous), consistent with molecular data for other living birds. On the other hand, the fossil records indicate a more recent origin (Paleocene to Upper Tertiary) in the Laurasia. Nevertheless, to corroborate the fossil records, the early distribution of cuckoos would not be explained by parsimony, since additional steps on dispersion and local extinctions should be added.

  • Sumatran Tiger - One of the Most Incredible and Unlikely Sightings Ever on a Birdquest Tour! (Pete Morris)
    THE Sumatran Tiger - one of the most incredible and unlikely sightings ever on a Birdquest tour! (Pete Morris) SUMATRA 6 – 21/26/30 JUNE 2014 LEADER: PETE MORRIS It’s not often that I begin a birding tour report with a mammal, but our incredible sighting of Sumatran Tiger I’m afraid stole the show from the birds this time around! It’s rarely seen let alone photographed at point blank range and watched for 20 minutes, so we can certainly class ourselves as part of a very select club! Fortu- nately the birds did us proud too! It had been a few years since I’d led this tour, and I’d almost forgotten how challenging the birding can be! Fortunately, I hadn’t forgotten that if you work hard and keep plugging away, success ultimately comes your way, and I was lucky to have a team of stalwarts that were prepared to, at times, put in the hard yards to gain the rewards! And in the end, we were extremely successful in tracking down nearly 1 BirdQuest Tour Report: Sumatra www.birdquest-tours.com Nightbirds were a theme of the tour, and Reddish Scops Owl an endearing example! (Pete Morris) all of our hoped for targets. The main tour focused on three areas. At the imposing Gunung Kerinci we tracked down a great selection of specialities, including Red-billed Partridge, the rare Javan Woodcock (in daylight), Sumatran Trogon, a confiding Schneider’s Pitta, fabulous Sumatran and Rusty-breasted Wren-Babblers, Sun- da Forktail (nearby), Brown-winged and Shiny Whistling Thrushes and even a brief Sumatran Cochoa.

  • Camera Trapping Rare and Threatened Avifauna in West-Central Sumatra
    Bird Conservation International (2008) 18:30–37. ß BirdLife International 2008 doi: 10.1017/S0959270908000051 Printed in the United Kingdom Camera trapping rare and threatened avifauna in west-central Sumatra YOAN DINATA, AGUNG NUGROHO, IDING ACHMAD HAIDIR and MATTHEW LINKIE Summary Tropical forests are becoming increasingly degraded and fragmented by logging, which can affect the survival of forest bird species in different ways. In this study, we present avifauna data collected from a monitoring programme in west-central Sumatra that set camera traps in three study areas with different habitat types, levels of degradation and protection status. From 5,990 camera trap-nights, 248 independent bird photographs were recorded, comprising four orders and nine species, including three endemic species. The Great Argus Pheasant (Argusianus argus) was recorded in all study areas and most frequently (n 5 202 photographs), followed by the threatened Salvadori’s Pheasant (Lophura inornata). The greatest diversity of bird species (five) and abundance index (1.44 bird photographs/100 trap-nights) was recorded from a primary hill- submontane forest site located inside Kerinci Seblat National Park (KSNP) bordering degraded forest in a former logging concession recently repatriated into KSNP. However, inside a primary-selectively logged hill-submontane forest site spread over KSNP and an ex-logging concession, a Sumatran Ground Cuckoo (Carpococcyx viridis) was photographed. This species is noteworthy because prior to this study it had only been documented once since 1916. It is therefore crucial to use the camera trap results to increase the protection status for the ground cuckoo area. This has already happened in the other two study areas, where camera trap data have been used to reclassify the areas as Core Zones, the highest level of protection inside KSNP.
