Galliform Baraminology 4 Abstract This study investigates the number of galliform bird holobaramins. Criteria used to determine the members of any given holobaramin included a biblical word analysis, statistical baraminology, and hybridization. The biblical search yielded limited biosystematic information; however, since it is a necessary and useful part of baraminology research it is both included and discussed.

  • Ruffed Grouse and American Woodcock Status in Michigan, 2017
    Printed by Authority of: P.A. 451 of 1994 Total Number of Copies Printed: 207 Michigan Department of Natural Resources Cost per Copy:................................$0.84 Wildlife Report No. 3642 Total Cost: ................................... $174.00 September 2017 Michigan Department of Natural Resources RUFFED GROUSE AND AMERICAN WOODCOCK STATUS IN MICHIGAN, 2017 C. Alan Stewart and Lori Sargent ABSTRACT Hunter cooperator surveys, spring breeding surveys, and mail harvest surveys are conducted each year to monitor Ruffed grouse (Bonasa umbellus) and American woodcock (Scolopax minor) populations. Annual data comparisons are described for hunter cooperator survey (2015–2016), Ruffed grouse drumming survey (2015-2016), American woodcock spring breeding surveys (2016-2017), and mail harvest survey (2010-2011). Ruffed grouse cooperators hunting the first 4 days of ruffed grouse season reported an average 1.93 grouse per hour in 2016 compared to 0.91 grouse per hour in 2015. The usual spring drumming grouse surveys were not conducted this year because of concerns over past open records requests from a hunter whose activities jeopardized the validity of the survey. There was an increase detected in Michigan’s woodcock index based on the singing-ground survey from 2016-2017 and during the ten-year trend from 2007-2017. Significant long-term (1968-2017) declines were detected regionally and statewide, respectively. Woodcock banders in Michigan spent 1,950 hours afield in 2017 and banded 937 chicks. There were about 67 chicks observed and 48 chicks banded per 100 hours of search time, compared to 66 chicks observed and 49 banded in 2016. There were 112 ruffed grouse drumming routes surveyed in 2015 and 105 in 2014.

  • Migration Timing, Routes, and Connectivity of Eurasian Woodcock Wintering in Britain and Ireland
    Migration Timing, Routes, and Connectivity of Eurasian Woodcock Wintering in Britain and Ireland ANDREW N. HOODLESS,1 Game & Wildlife Conservation Trust, Burgate Manor, Fordingbridge, Hampshire SP6 1EF, UK CHRISTOPHER J. HEWARD, Game & Wildlife Conservation Trust, Burgate Manor, Fordingbridge, Hampshire SP6 1EF, UK ABSTRACT Migration represents a critical time in the annual cycle of Eurasian woodcock (Scolopax rusticola), with poten- tial consequences for individual fitness and survival. In October–December, Eurasian woodcock migrate from breeding grounds in northern Eurasia over thousands of kilometres to western Europe, returning in March–May. The species is widely hunted in Europe, with 2.3–3.5 million individuals shot per year; hence, an understanding of the timing of migra- tion and routes taken is an essential part of developing sustainable flyway management. Our aims were to determine the timing and migration routes of Eurasian woodcock wintering in Britain and Ireland, and to assess the degree of connec- tivity between breeding and wintering sites. We present data from 52 Eurasian woodcock fitted with satellite tags in late winter 2012–2016, which indicate that the timing of spring departure varied annually and was positively correlated with temperature, with a mean departure date of 26 March (± 1.4 days SE). Spring migration distances averaged 2,851 ± 165 km (SE), with individuals typically making 5 stopovers. The majority of our sample of tagged Eurasian woodcock migrated to breeding sites in northwestern Russia (54%), with smaller proportions breeding in Denmark, Scandinavia, and Finland (29%); Poland, Latvia, and Belarus (9.5%); and central Russia (7.5%). The accumulated migration routes of tagged individ- uals suggest a main flyway for Eurasian woodcock wintering in Britain and Ireland through Belgium, the Netherlands, and Germany, and then dividing to pass through the countries immediately north and south of the Baltic Sea.

  • Ruffed Grouse
    Ruffed Grouse Photo Courtesy of the Ruffed Grouse Society Introduction The ruffed grouse (Bonasa umbellus) is North America’s most widely distributed game bird. As a very popular game species, the grouse is in the same family as the wild turkey, quail and pheasant. They range from Alaska to Georgia including 34 states and all the Canadian provinces. Historically in Indiana, its range included the forested regions of the state. Today the range is limited to the south central and southeastern 1/3 of the state in the southern hill country, with a few pockets in counties bordering Michigan. Ruffed grouse weigh between 1 and 1.5 pounds and grow to 17 inches in length with a 22-inch wingspan. They exhibit color phases with northern range birds being reddish-brown to gray while those in the southern part of their continental range, including Indiana, are red. History and Current Status Before settlement, grouse populations ranged throughout the hardwood region of the state. In areas where timber was permanently removed for farms, homes and towns grouse habitat has been lost. During the early1900’s, many farms in the south-central portion of Indiana were abandoned. As a result of this farm abandonment, the vegetation around old home sites and in the fallow fields grew through early plant succession stages. About the same time, the reforestation era began as abandoned farms reverted into public ownership under the management of state and federal natural resource agencies. By the 1950’s, natural succession, reforestation, and timber harvest management were beginning to form a myriad of early successional forest patches across a fairly contiguous forested landscape.

  • Dated Phylogenetic and Biogeographic Inference of Migratory Behavior in Bee Hummingbirds Yuyini Licona-Vera and Juan Francisco Ornelas*
    Licona-Vera and Ornelas BMC Evolutionary Biology (2017) 17:126 DOI 10.1186/s12862-017-0980-5 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access The conquering of North America: dated phylogenetic and biogeographic inference of migratory behavior in bee hummingbirds Yuyini Licona-Vera and Juan Francisco Ornelas* Abstract Background: Geographical and temporal patterns of diversification in bee hummingbirds (Mellisugini) were assessed with respect to the evolution of migration, critical for colonization of North America. We generated a dated multilocus phylogeny of the Mellisugini based on a dense sampling using Bayesian inference, maximum- likelihood and maximum parsimony methods, and reconstructed the ancestral states of distributional areas in a Bayesian framework and migratory behavior using maximum parsimony, maximum-likelihood and re-rooting methods. Results: All phylogenetic analyses confirmed monophyly of the Mellisugini and the inclusion of Atthis, Calothorax, Doricha, Eulidia, Mellisuga, Microstilbon, Myrmia, Tilmatura,andThaumastura. Mellisugini consists of two clades: (1) South American species (including Tilmatura dupontii), and (2) species distributed in North and Central America and the Caribbean islands. The second clade consists of four subclades: Mexican (Calothorax, Doricha)and Caribbean (Archilochus, Calliphlox, Mellisuga)sheartails,Calypte,andSelasphorus (incl. Atthis). Coalescent-based dating places the origin of the Mellisugini in the mid-to-late Miocene, with crown ages of most subclades in the early Pliocene, and subsequent species splits in the Pleistocene. Bee hummingbirds reached western North America by the end of the Miocene and the ancestral mellisuginid (bee hummingbirds) was reconstructed as sedentary, with four independent gains of migratory behavior during the evolution of the Mellisugini. Conclusions: Early colonization of North America and subsequent evolution of migration best explained biogeographic and diversification patterns within the Mellisugini.

May,1992 Bioenergetics of female American woodcock (fulgE minor) was studied from 1987-1989 at Moosehorn National Wildlife Refuge, Maine. A model of daily enerry expenditure was developed from laboratory-derived data on metabolic rates; from data on activity and microclimates collected in the field; and from body component analysis of collected birds. Enerry demands incurred by female woodcock on the breeding grounds were highest during the Pre-nesting (60.3 kcaVday) and Iaying (S9.1 kcaVday) periods. Availability of food (earthworms [Lumbricidae]) is normally sufficient during these periods, but shortages such as the one caused by persistent soil frost in spring of 1989 can delay nesting and affect productivity.
