RECENT LITERATURE Genetics of the Fowl.--F
386 LJ•' RECENT LITERATURE Genetics of the Fowl.--F. B. HUTT. (McGraw-Hill Co., New York), pp. xi q- 590, 140 figs., 72 tables, 1949. Price, $6.50.--Although primarily a technical book for the poultry geneticist, the book contains much to commend it to the orni- thologist and general biologist. For the first time there is an up-to-date, complete, and authoritative compilation of the genetics of the domestic chicken with occasional references to other fowl. A valuable feature of the book for the non-geneticist is that it includes material concerningthe fowl which is to a large extent scattered in periodicalswhich are not generally available. Written in a rather engaging style, the book starts with an introduction to the phylogeny and classificationof birds, particularly with respect to the origins of the domestic fowl. A short chapter on cytology and gametogenesispresents in a clear and selective manner the more important facets of what is known about these subjects in the fowl. The known genetic variations are treated in chapters headed: Varia- tions in the Skeleton, Structural Variations in the Skin, Variations in the Plumage, Variations in the Color of the Skin, Variations in the Color of the Plumage, Lethal Genes and Miscellaneous Characters, Variations in Body Size, Egg Production, Variations in Eggs, Genetic Resistanceto Disease, Genetic Aspects of Reproduction and Linkage. A final chapter, Geneticsin Practice, containstechnical information for the practical breeder. Possibly the most important thing about the book from the standpoint of the ornithologist is the fact that a great deal of genetic information has been compiled relative to a single species of bird. -

Accepted on 28 June 2019. ABSTRACT: The genus Paroaria is a group of conspicuous songbirds widely distributed in South America that has been studied recently to delimit its species and establish their phylogenetic relationships. Although hybridization has been reported between the most phylogenetically related species of the genus, we here present a case of hybridization between the Yellow-billed Cardinal (P. capitata) and Red-crested Cardinal (P. coronata) for the first time, two phylogenetically unrelated members of the group. This data contributes to the knowledge of this avian group whose systematics is still under debate. KEY-WORDS: breeding biology, hybrids, interbreed, Neotropical birds, Patagonia Species delimitation has been a crucial topic in the natural Yellow-billed and Red-crested Cardinal (a riverine and history of birds, both for systematic and ecological an open-forest cardinal respectively, two phylogenetically studies (de Queiroz 2007).

>> SPLITS, LUMPS AND SHUFFLES Splits, lumps and shuffles Alexander C. Lees Crimson-fronted Cardinal Paroaria baeri, an endemic of the Araguaia Valley. Pousada Kuryala, Félix do Araguaia Mato Grosso, Brazil, November 2008 (Bradley Davis / Birding Mato Grosso). This series focuses on recent taxonomic proposals—be they entirely new species, splits, lumps or reorganisations—that are likely to be of greatest interest to birders. This latest instalment is a bumper one, dominated by the publication of the descriptions of 15 new species (and many splits) for the Amazon in the concluding Special Volume of the Handbook of the Birds of the World (reviewed on pp. 79–80). The last time descriptions of such a large number of new species were published in a single work was in 1871, with Pelzeln’s treatise! Most of these are suboscine passerines—woodcreepers, antbirds and tyrant flycatchers, but even include a new jay. Remaining novelties include papers describing a new tapaculo (who would have guessed), a major rearrangement of Myrmeciza antbirds, more Amazonian splits and oddments involving hermits, grosbeaks and cardinals.

Efforts to Combat Wild Animals Trafficking in Brazil
Chapter 16 Efforts to Combat Wild Animals Trafficking in Brazil Guilherme Fernando Gomes Destro, Tatiana Lucena Pimentel, Raquel Monti Sabaini, Roberto Cabral Borges and Raquel Barreto Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/48351 1. Introduction Wildlife trafficking, including the flora, fauna and their products and byproducts, is considered the third largest illegal activity in the world, after weapons and drugs trafficking. Considering only the wild animals trafficking in Brazil, it is estimated that about 38 million specimens are captured from nature annually and approximately four million of those are sold. Based on the data of animals seized and their prices, it is suggested that this Country deals with about two billion and five hundred million dollars a year [1]. The wildlife trafficking networks, like any other criminal network, have great flexibility and adaptability and join with other categories or activities (legal or illegal), such as drugs, weapons, alcohol, and precious stones. Their products are often sent from the same regions and have similar practices such as forgery, bribery of officials, tax evasion, fraudulent customs declarations, among many others [1]. In some cases, the criminals are infiltrated in public agencies to entice public officials and, in case of problems in the target Country, they can move with ease to other destination. Moreover, people involved can be easily replaced by others more efficient, reliable and qualified for the activity. This great power of mobility and changeability is one of the major problems to map the criminal networks and their local of action [2]. -

The breeding biology of the Orange-eared We describe for the first time the nest of the genus Chlorochrysa, based on five nests of C. calliparea, and Tanager (Chlorochrysa calliparea)isalmost provide information on incubation and nestling growth unknown. There is only one brief description of from August through December 2009 and 2010 in Manu a cup nest of the Glistening-green Tanager (C. National Park, Cusco, Peru. The Orange-eared Tanager phoenicotis) hollowed in moss on the side of a has a distinct and unique nest location in clumps of limb in the middle strata (Hilty and Brown 1986). moss hanging from horizontal branches, previously We describe for the first time the nest for the unknown among tanagers. The nest structure, however, genus Chlorochrysa based on five nests of C. was similar to that of most tanagers. We observed use of a nest-like structure as a dormitory, not previously calliparea, and detailed information on incubation reported for the Thraupidae. Clutch size was one egg and nestling growth. and the nestling period was 21 days. The female made an average of 8.8 foraging trips/day from the nest which METHODS lasted on average 33.1 min with nest attentiveness of 58.9%.
