The relationships of these mockingbirds and thrashers have been investigated in many molecular phylogenetic studies over the past two decades, with high congruence among studies in their implications for the major groups within this radiation (Zink et al. 1997, 1999, 2001; Zink and Blackwell-Rago 2000; Hunt et al. 2001; Rojas-Soto 2003; Sgariglia and Burns 2003; Barber et al. 2004; Arbogast et al. 2006; Zuccon et al. 2006; Lovette and Rubenstein 2007; Hoeck et al. 2010). Previous Check-List revisions have incorporated much of this new information and addressed species and generic limits within the Mimidae. There is some ongoing uncertainty about species limits in the Mimus polyglottos/gilvus complex (the Northern and Tropical mockingbirds) and within the Galapagos Mockingbird complex, but there is insufficient new information at present to propose new changes to their species-level classifications. This proposal therefore considers only the linear sequence of the currently recognized Mimidae species and genera. New information: One reason that this wealth of new phylogenetic information has not yet led to a change to the linear sequence of the Mimidae is that the many earlier phylogenetic studies each included only a subset of the relevant taxa, as those investigations were usually motivated by questions about population- and species-level relationships within Mimidae subgroups, or by questions about the biogeography of particular spatial regions. The most recent phylogenetic study (Lovette et al. 2012) of the Mimidae was the first to include representatives of all currently recognized Mimidae species, and it forms the primary basis for the new linear sequence proposed here, although the many earlier studies also deserve credit for suggesting and supporting these relationships. This most recent and most inclusive phylogenetic study was based on both mitochondrial DNA and nuclear DNA (three unlinked autosomal introns) sequence markers. Given the relatively shallow level of divergence in the Mimidae, the greatest phylogenetic signal came from the mitochondrial dataset, but separate reconstructions based on each nuclear marker supported (or did not conflict with) the genus-level clustering and topology seen in the mtDNA-based reconstructions (Lovette et al. 2012). Recommendation: Change the linear sequence of the species and genera (extralimital species are placed in brackets) within the Mimidae to: Genus Melanotis Species caerulescens Species hypoleucus Genus Melanoptila Species glabrirostris Genus Dumetella Species carolinensis Genus Ramphocinclus Species brachyurus Genus Allenia Species fusca Genus Margarops Species fuscatus Genus Cinclocerthia Species ruficauda Species gutturalis Genus Toxostoma Species curvirostre Species ocellatum Species rufum Species longirostre Species guttatum Species bendirei Species cinereum Species redivivum Species lecontei Species crissale Genus Oreoscoptes Species montanus Genus Mimus [Species saturninus] [Species triurus] [Species dorsalis] [Species thenca] [Species patagonicus] Species gundlachii [Species parvulus] [Species trifasciatus] [Species macdonaldi] [Species melanotis] [Species longicaudatus] Species graysoni Species gilvus Species polyglottos Literature cited: Arbogast, B.

Largely on the basis of voice, Lanyon (1961) ended the long-standing debate that Nutting's was a separate species from Ash-throated Flycatcher. Howell (2012) drew attention to marked differences in voice and habitat, and subtle differences in plumage, within Nutting's Flycatcher: the Pacific-slope taxon flavidior (ranging from Chiapas, Mexico, to northwest Costa Rica) is quite distinct from other subspecies. Within the genus Myiarchus these differences are considerable, and greater than among other taxa of flycatchers recognized as full species. New information: Sari & Parker (2012:9, excerpted below, and their Fig. 2) found that Nutting's Flycatcher was paraphyletic. Unfortunately, given their ambiguous use of English, it is unclear whether they paid attention to subspecies (assuming such data were available on specimen labels), but they nonetheless found a distinct break within Nutting's, apparently between nuttingi and flavidior: "In our phylogeny, M. nuttingi was represented by two independent lineages, one with samples from Costa Rica (id numbers CR6, CR13, and CR15), and another from specimens collected in San Salvador (KUNHM collection – id numbers 9314, 9281, and 9288; Figs. 2 and 3). Three subspecies are currently recognized for M. nuttingi (Lanyon, 1961), and the lineages found here might represent two of them, M. n. flavidior in El Salvador and M. n. nuttingi in northwestern Costa Rica, where both races co-occur (Lanyon, 1961). We did not find support for the monophyly of M. nuttingi, so taxonomic revision, delimitation of contact zones, and studies of genetic introgression between races of M. nuttingi would be important for the confirmation of their status as subspecies. Based on morphological and vocal characters, M. nuttingi has been considered closely related to M. cinerascens (see Lanyon, 1961), but we found that these two species are not sisters. Instead, the closest relative of M. cinerascens is M. crinitus from the southeastern US." Beyond vocal, ecological, morphological, and apparent genetic differences, a consideration of biogeography further supports the break of flavidior as a distinct species. English Names Myiarchus flycatchers are rather uniform in appearance, and descriptive names are not much use. No especially

TOWNSEND PETERSON* ABSTRACT.- We analyzed geographic variation in morphology and plumage coloration in male woodnymphs of the genus Thalurunia in Middle America and northwestern South America. Morphometric characters distinguish the disjunct western Mexican populations from populations to the south. Three groups are distinguished by discrete plumage coloration characters. We propose that these groups be recognized as separate species: T. ridgwuyiof western Mexico; T. colombicaof Central America south to western Panama and disjunctly in interior northwestern South America; and T.fannyi ofeastem Panama, western Colombia, and northern Ecuador.

Despite the recognized value of biological collections for the rigorous study of biodiversity, there is scarce information on the monetary costs of specimens. We present results for three expeditions conducted in Santander (municipalities of Cimitarra, El Carmen de Chucurí, and Santa Barbara), Colombia, during 2018 to collect bird voucher specimens, quantifying the costs of obtaining such material. After a sampling effort of 1290 mist net hours and occasional collection using an airgun, we collected 300 bird voucher specimens, representing 117 species from 30 families.

    BIRDING THE ATLANTIC RAINFOREST, SOUTH-EAST BRAZIL ITORORO LODGE AND REGUA 11TH – 20TH MARCH 2018 White-barred Piculet (©Andy Foster) Guided and report compiled by Andy Foster www.serradostucanos.com.br Sunday 11th March The following 10 day tour was a private trip for a group of 4 friends. We all flew in from the UK on a BA flight landing the night of the 10th and stayed in the Linx Hotel located close to the International airport in Rio de Janeiro. We met up for breakfast at 07.00 and by 08.00 our driver had arrived to take us for the 2.5 hour drive to Itororo Lodge where we were to spend our first 6 nights birding the higher elevations of the Serra do Mar Mountains. On the journey up we saw Magnificent Frigatebird, Cocoi Heron, Great White Egret, Black-crowned Night Heron, Neotropic Cormorant and Roadside Hawk. By 10.30 we had arrived at the lodge and were greeted by Bettina and Rainer who would be our hosts for the next week. The feeders were busy at the lodge and we were soon picking up new species including Azure-shouldered Tanager, Brassy-breasted Tanager, Black-goggled Tanager, Sayaca Tanager, Ruby- crowned Tanager, Golden-chevroned Tanager, Magpie Tanager, Burnished-buff Tanager, Plain Parakeet, Maroon-bellied Parakeet, Rufous-bellied Thrush, Green-winged Saltator, Pale-breasted Thrush, Violet- capped Woodnymph, Black Jacobin, Scale-throated Hermit, Sombre Hummingbird, Brazilian Ruby and White-throated Hummingbird…. not bad for the first 30 minutes! We spent the last hour or so before lunch getting to grips with the feeder birds, we also picked up brief but good views of a Black-Hawk Eagle as it flew through the lodge gardens.

  • 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.

Over 700 on this tour now! 1 BirdQuest Tour Report: Ultimate Bolivia 2019 www.birdquest-tours.com Blue-throated Macaws hoping we would clear off and leave them alone (Eustace Barnes) Hopefully, now we hear of colourful endemic macaws, raucous prolific birdlife and innumerable elusive endemic denizens of verdant bromeliad festooned cloud-forests, vast expanses of rainforest, endless marshlands and Chaco woodlands, each ringing to the chorus of a diverse endemic avifauna instead of bleak, freezing landscapes occupied by impoverished unhappy peasants. 2 BirdQuest Tour Report: Ultimate Bolivia 2019 www.birdquest-tours.com That is the flowery prose, but Bolivia IS that great destination. The tour is no longer a series of endless dusty journeys punctuated with miserable truck-stop hotels where you are presented with greasy deep-fried chicken and a sticky pile of glutinous rice every day. The roads are generally good, the hotels are either good or at least characterful (in a good way) and the food rather better than you might find in the UK. The latter perhaps not saying very much.

That said, Bolivia has work to do too, as its association with that hapless loser, Che Guevara, corruption, dust and drug smuggling still leaves the country struggling to sell itself.
