    P O Box 93, Wakkerstroom 2480 Cell Number 0822556778 E-Mail: [email protected] NEWSLETTER NUMBER 31– FEBRUARY 2015 Phragmites australis is a Perennial Grass that grows in the wetlands of the temperate and tropical regions of the world on all continents except Antarctica. It is thought to have originated from Phyrgia in Asia Minor. In Europe it is rarely invasive, it is even used as an ornamental plant, but everywhere else can be a major problem. It does have its uses; thatching, making arrows, youngsters eat it and it can be dried and ground into a fine powder that, when moistened, can be toasted like marsh mallows. In Egypt it is used for making a flute-like musical instrument, maybe that‟s why another name here in South Africa is Fluitjiesriet. Its most important use is for bioremediation where excess nutrients and pollutants are removed from dirty water and sewage pond waste water by bacterial action on the Phragmites roots and leaf litter. The downside is that it is highly invasive WoF operatives hard at work plant that crowds-out other wetland plant species reducing overall plant, animal and bird diversity. It can spread at the rate of 5m per year from horizontal runners, rhizomes up to 10m long that produce a new shoot every 300mm. It is allelopathic i.e. it releases toxins from its roots that stop the growth of other plants. It out-competes native plants for nutrients, water and sunlight. The outcome – a 3m plus tall, handsome plant that forms a deceptively beautiful monoculture! Phragmites is difficult to control and impossible to eradicate entirely.

A LONS O5 an d Luis M . C ARRASCA L6 SUMMARY .— New data on the population, distribution and habitat preferences of the Canary Islands stonechat Saxicola dacotiae . This paper updates estimates of population size, distribution and habitat preferences of the endemic Canary Islands stonechat Saxicola dacotiae on the basis of data gathered across their whole distribution range, the island of Fuerteventura. We surveyed 1,462 0.5-km line transects during the reproductive seasons in 2005 and 2006, distributed across the whole island. Results were used to estimate population size using two methods: stratified estimates of mean densities and sum of estimated abundances across strata, and sum of estimations of abundance in 1 km x 1 km UTM squares based on statistical models built by boosted regression trees (BRT). In both methods we accounted for the effects of bird detectability in transects. Overall, 490 mature individuals were recorded. The Canary Islands stonechat preferred high, steep terrain (particularly above 20% slope and 200 m a.s.l.) and selected negatively the lower and flatter areas comprising most of the island. These habitats were occupied, however, albeit at low density. The highest average densities sampled per habitat (up to 43 birds/km 2) were registered on steep areas (> 11%) with scrub, although the statistical models predicted densities of 66 birds/km 2 in the optimum 1 Grupo de Ecología Terrestre (TEG), Departamento de Ecología, Universidad Autónoma de Madrid .

This is probably the most well known location on Tenerife as it is where most people see their first Blue Chaffinches and we were not to be disappointed. Also at this location we saw the only Great Spotted Woodpecker of the tour plus a few Canaries, a Tenerife Kinglet and a few African Blue Tits. After departing from Las Lajas we continued climbing and entered the Las Cañadas National Park which is a spectacular drive through volcanic scenery. On the drive we encountered quite a few endemic plants including Pinus canariensis and Spartocytisus supranubius that were common and easily recognized and Echium wildpretii, Pterocephalus lasiospermus, Descurainia bourgaeana and Argyranthemum teneriffae which were rather unimpressive as they were not yet flowering but we were compensated by the fabulous views across the ancient caldera.

  • AERC Wplist July 2015
    AERC Western Palearctic list, July 2015 About the list: 1) The limits of the Western Palearctic region follow for convenience the limits defined in the “Birds of the Western Palearctic” (BWP) series (Oxford University Press). 2) The AERC WP list follows the systematics of Voous (1973; 1977a; 1977b) modified by the changes listed in the AERC TAC systematic recommendations published online on the AERC web site. For species not in Voous (a few introduced or accidental species) the default systematics is the IOC world bird list. 3) Only species either admitted into an "official" national list (for countries with a national avifaunistic commission or national rarities committee) or whose occurrence in the WP has been published in detail (description or photo and circumstances allowing review of the evidence, usually in a journal) have been admitted on the list. Category D species have not been admitted. 4) The information in the "remarks" column is by no mean exhaustive. It is aimed at providing some supporting information for the species whose status on the WP list is less well known than average. This is obviously a subjective criterion.

    MORPHOLOGICAL AND ECOLOGICAL EVOLUTION IN OLD AND NEW WORLD FLYCATCHERS A dissertation presented to the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Clay E. Corbin August 2002 This dissertation entitled MORPHOLOGICAL AND ECOLOGICAL EVOLUTION IN OLD AND NEW WORLD FLYCATCHERS BY CLAY E. CORBIN has been approved for the Department of Biological Sciences and the College of Arts and Sciences by Donald B. Miles Associate Professor, Department of Biological Sciences Leslie A. Flemming Dean, College of Arts and Sciences CORBIN, C. E. Ph.D. August 2002. Biological Sciences. Morphological and Ecological Evolution in Old and New World Flycatchers (215pp.) Director of Dissertation: Donald B. Miles In both the Old and New Worlds, independent clades of sit-and-wait insectivorous birds have evolved. These independent radiations provide an excellent opportunity to test for convergent relationships between morphology and ecology at different ecological and phylogenetic levels. First, I test whether there is a significant adaptive relationship between ecology and morphology in North American and Southern African flycatcher communities. Second, using morphological traits and observations on foraging behavior, I test whether ecomorphological relationships are dependent upon locality. Third, using multivariate discrimination and cluster analysis on a morphological data set of five flycatcher clades, I address whether there is broad scale ecomorphological convergence among flycatcher clades and if morphology predicts a course measure of habitat preference. Finally, I test whether there is a common morphological axis of diversification and whether relative age of origin corresponds to the morphological variation exhibited by elaenia and tody-tyrant lineages.

  • AIRONE CENERINO Ardea Cinerea the Grey Heron (Ardea Cinerea
    AIRONE CENERINO Ardea cinerea The Grey Heron (Ardea cinerea ) is a wading bird of the heron family Ardeidae . The Grey Heron is a large bird, standing 1 m tall, and it has a 1.5 m wingspan. It is the largest European heron. Its plumage is largely grey above, and off-white below. It has a powerful yellow bill, which is brighter in breeding adults. It has a slow flight, with its long neck retracted (S-shaped). This is characteristic of herons and bitterns, and distinguishes them from storks, cranes and spoonbills, which extend their necks This species breeds in colonies in trees close to lakes or other wetlands, although it will also nest in reed beds. It builds a bulky stick nest. It feeds in shallow water, spearing fish or frogs with its long, sharp bill. Herons will also take small mammals and birds. It will often wait motionless for prey, or slowly stalk its victim. The call is a loud croaking "fraaank". This species is very similar to the American Great Blue Heron. The Australian White-faced Heron is often incorrectly called Grey Heron ALLODOLA Alauda arvensis The Skylark (Alauda arvensis ) is a small passerine bird. It breeds across most of Europe and Asia and in the mountains of north Africa. It is mainly resident in the west of its range, but eastern populations of are more migratory, moving further south in winter. Even in the milder west of its range, many birds move to lowlands and the coast in winter. Asian birds appear as vagrants in Alaska; this bird has also been introduced in Hawaii and western North America.
