Phylogeography of Finches and Sparrows
In: Animal Genetics ISBN: 978-1-60741-844-3 Editor: Leopold J. Rechi © 2009 Nova Science Publishers, Inc. Chapter 1 PHYLOGEOGRAPHY OF FINCHES AND SPARROWS Antonio Arnaiz-Villena*, Pablo Gomez-Prieto and Valentin Ruiz-del-Valle Department of Immunology, University Complutense, The Madrid Regional Blood Center, Madrid, Spain. ABSTRACT Fringillidae finches form a subfamily of songbirds (Passeriformes), which are presently distributed around the world. This subfamily includes canaries, goldfinches, greenfinches, rosefinches, and grosbeaks, among others. Molecular phylogenies obtained with mitochondrial DNA sequences show that these groups of finches are put together, but with some polytomies that have apparently evolved or radiated in parallel. The time of appearance on Earth of all studied groups is suggested to start after Middle Miocene Epoch, around 10 million years ago. Greenfinches (genus Carduelis) may have originated at Eurasian desert margins coming from Rhodopechys obsoleta (dessert finch) or an extinct pale plumage ancestor; it later acquired green plumage suitable for the greenfinch ecological niche, i.e.: woods. Multicolored Eurasian goldfinch (Carduelis carduelis) has a genetic extant ancestor, the green-feathered Carduelis citrinella (citril finch); this was thought to be a canary on phonotypical bases, but it is now included within goldfinches by our molecular genetics phylograms. Speciation events between citril finch and Eurasian goldfinch are related with the Mediterranean Messinian salinity crisis (5 million years ago). Linurgus olivaceus (oriole finch) is presently thriving in Equatorial Africa and was included in a separate genus (Linurgus) by itself on phenotypical bases. Our phylograms demonstrate that it is and old canary. Proposed genus Acanthis does not exist. Twite and linnet form a separate radiation from redpolls. -

ERICKSON, LSA Associates, 20 Executive Park, Suite 200, Irvine, California 92614; [email protected] ABSTRACT: We report 56 bird specimens of 31 species taken on Isla Guadalupe, Baja California, between 1986 and 2004 and housed at the Colección Ornitológica del Laboratorio de Vertebrados de la Facultad de Ciencias, Universidad Autónoma de Baja California, Ensenada, along with other sight and specimen records. The speci- mens include the first published Guadalupe records for 10 species: the Ring-necked Duck (Aythya collaris), Long-billed Curlew (Numenius americanus), Bonaparte’s Gull (Larus philadelphia), Ash-throated Flycatcher (Myiarchus cinerascens), Warbling Vireo (Vireo gilvus), Tree Swallow (Tachycineta bicolor), Yellow Warbler (Dendroica petechia), Magnolia Warbler (Dendroica magnolia), Yellow-headed Blackbird (Xan- thocephalus xanthocephalus), and Orchard Oriole (Icterus spurius). A specimen of the eastern subspecies of Brown-headed Cowbird (Molothrus ater ater) and a sight record of the Gray-cheeked Thrush (Catharus minimus) are the first reported from the Baja California Peninsula (and islands). A photographed Franklin’s Gull (Larus pipixcan) is also an island first. Currently 136 native species and three species intro- duced in North America have been recorded from the island and nearby waters. -
Distribution, Ecology, and Life History of the Pearly-Eyed Thrasher (Margarops Fuscatus)
Adaptations of An Avian Supertramp: Distribution, Ecology, and Life History of the Pearly-Eyed Thrasher (Margarops fuscatus) Chapter 6: Survival and Dispersal The pearly-eyed thrasher has a wide geographical distribution, obtains regional and local abundance, and undergoes morphological plasticity on islands, especially at different elevations. It readily adapts to diverse habitats in noncompetitive situations. Its status as an avian supertramp becomes even more evident when one considers its proficiency in dispersing to and colonizing small, often sparsely The pearly-eye is a inhabited islands and disturbed habitats. long-lived species, Although rare in nature, an additional attribute of a supertramp would be a even for a tropical protracted lifetime once colonists become established. The pearly-eye possesses passerine. such an attribute. It is a long-lived species, even for a tropical passerine. This chapter treats adult thrasher survival, longevity, short- and long-range natal dispersal of the young, including the intrinsic and extrinsic characteristics of natal dispersers, and a comparison of the field techniques used in monitoring the spatiotemporal aspects of dispersal, e.g., observations, biotelemetry, and banding. Rounding out the chapter are some of the inherent and ecological factors influencing immature thrashers’ survival and dispersal, e.g., preferred habitat, diet, season, ectoparasites, and the effects of two major hurricanes, which resulted in food shortages following both disturbances. Annual Survival Rates (Rain-Forest Population) In the early 1990s, the tenet that tropical birds survive much longer than their north temperate counterparts, many of which are migratory, came into question (Karr et al. 1990). Whether or not the dogma can survive, however, awaits further empirical evidence from additional studies. -

Appendix D5 Restore Seabirds to Baja California Pacific Islands
Appendix D5 Restore Seabirds to Baja California Pacific Islands Appendix D5 Restore Seabirds to Baja California Pacific Islands Appendix D5 Restore Seabirds on the Baja California Pacific Islands The Natural Resource Trustees for the Montrose case (Trustees) have evaluated a variety of seabird restoration actions for the Baja California Pacific islands in Mexico. These islands support a wide range of seabirds that nest in or use the Southern California Bight (SCB). Restoration efforts would target a suite of seabird species, including the Cassin’s auklet, Brandt’s cormorant, double-crested cormorant, California brown pelican, ashy storm-petrel, and Xantus’s murrelet. To streamline the evaluation of these actions, the general background and regulatory framework is provided below. Detailed project descriptions are then provided for the following islands: (1) Guadalupe Island, (2) Coronado and Todos Santos Islands, (3) San Jeronimo and San Martín Islands, and (4) San Benito, Natividad, Asunción, and San Roque Islands. The actions discussed in this appendix do not cover all of the potential seabird restoration actions for the Baja California Pacific islands; therefore, the Trustees will consider additional actions in the future for implementation under this Restoration Plan, as appropriate. D5.1 GENERAL BACKGROUND The Baja California Pacific islands are located in the northwestern portion of Mexico, off of the Pacific coast of Baja California (Figure D5-1). Of the 12 islands or island groups (18 total islands) in this region, nine present unique opportunities for seabird restoration. Three of these islands or island groups (Coronado, Todos Santos, and San Martín) are oceanographically considered part of the SCB. -

Calle Moctezuma 836, Zona Centro, Ensenada, B.C., México, 22800. <[email protected]>. Abstract Feral cats (Felis catus) introduced to new environments have caused the extinction of many vertebrate species, including six species of birds on Guadalupe Island, México. To save species from extinction and restore natural processes, cats have been eradicated from islands using a variety of techniques. Eradication campaigns have to be planned carefully; ideally supported by information about the population to be eradicated. Our study focuses on home range estimation (fixed kernel); bait consumption by feral cats and non-target species; and diet of feral cats on Guadalupe Island. Home range was 76 to 1098 ha (KE 95) and core areas 21 to 196 ha (KE 50). Feral cats and non-target species including Guadalupe junco (Junco hyemalis insularis), Guadalupe rock wren (Salpinctes obsoletus guadalupensis), western gull (Larus occidentalis), and house mouse (Mus musculus) consumed baits. Items most commonly found in diet samples were mice (66.5%) and birds (16.8%). -
Introduction: Say Hello to the Junco Education Overview
Teacher Guide (Intro) Introduction: Say Hello to the Junco Education overview What makes the "Ordinary Extraordinary Junco" film project unique? So often nature and science films focus on exotic or alluring organisms in far-off tropical rainforests, polar icecaps, or deep-ocean reefs. In contrast, Juncos are among the most common and abundant "backyard birds" found across North America and are easily observable by millions of people daily. We love these shows, too! But we wanted people to realize that exciting biology, including evolution, is happening every day in their own backyards. Also, we wanted to share the scientific research process with public and student audiences. This documentary film covers a wide variety of topics required for high school and college biology classrooms through engaging students in the story of the Juncos. Research surrounding this group of species can teach students about diverse topics in biology, including: evolution, ecology, animal behavior, hormones and physiology, genetics, and the process of science. In the provided Teacher Guides, we have aligned the film modules with both sets of national science teaching standards and provided some sample questions for student handouts. The standards listed below are addressed throughout the documentary chapters (8 total, Intro, Chapters 1-6, and Outro), which range in length from 3 to 20 min. (88 min. total). We view these educational resources as an “open-source” project. These initial resources that we have developed are to encourage and facilitate use of the film by educators, but we welcome any and all feedback and contributions to expand, refine, create, and share new materials to accompany our film project. -

I,INSDALB at the MUSCU~II of Vertelirrite Zoology Uniaersify of Culifornin NOTE The publications of the Cooper Ornithological Club consist of two series-The Condor, which is the bi-monthly official organ, and the Pacific Coast Avifauna. PACIFIC COAST AVIFAUNA No. 20 is the twentieth in the series of publications issued by the Cooper Ornithological Club for the accommodation of papers whose length prohibits their appearance in ‘The Condor. For information as to either of the above series, address the Club Business Man- ager, W. Lee Chambers, 2068 Escarpa Drive, Eagle Rock, Los Angeles County, California. INTRODUCTION The writer, with the assistance of his wife, has occupied several months in the preparation of this, the third ten year index to The Condor. In a general way it follows the second ten year index to The Condor and the latest ten year index to The Auk. A few minor changes have been made, however, which seem to the writer to add to the usefulness or simplicity of the arrangement. PLAN OF THE INDEX 1. AUTHORS.
