  • A Synopsis of the Pre-Human Avifauna of the Mascarene Islands
    – 195 – Paleornithological Research 2013 Proceed. 8th Inter nat. Meeting Society of Avian Paleontology and Evolution Ursula B. Göhlich & Andreas Kroh (Eds) A synopsis of the pre-human avifauna of the Mascarene Islands JULIAN P. HUME Bird Group, Department of Life Sciences, The Natural History Museum, Tring, UK Abstract — The isolated Mascarene Islands of Mauritius, Réunion and Rodrigues are situated in the south- western Indian Ocean. All are volcanic in origin and have never been connected to each other or any other land mass. Despite their comparatively close proximity to each other, each island differs topographically and the islands have generally distinct avifaunas. The Mascarenes remained pristine until recently, resulting in some documentation of their ecology being made before they rapidly suffered severe degradation by humans. The first major fossil discoveries were made in 1865 on Mauritius and on Rodrigues and in the late 20th century on Réunion. However, for both Mauritius and Rodrigues, the documented fossil record initially was biased toward larger, non-passerine bird species, especially the dodo Raphus cucullatus and solitaire Pezophaps solitaria. This paper provides a synopsis of the fossil Mascarene avifauna, which demonstrates that it was more diverse than previously realised. Therefore, as the islands have suffered severe anthropogenic changes and the fossil record is far from complete, any conclusions based on present avian biogeography must be viewed with caution. Key words: Mauritius, Réunion, Rodrigues, ecological history, biogeography, extinction Introduction ily described or illustrated in ships’ logs and journals, which became the source material for The Mascarene Islands of Mauritius, Réunion popular articles and books and, along with col- and Rodrigues are situated in the south-western lected specimens, enabled monographs such as Indian Ocean (Fig.

  • Common Birds of the Estero Bay Area
    Common Birds of the Estero Bay Area Jeremy Beaulieu Lisa Andreano Michael Walgren Introduction The following is a guide to the common birds of the Estero Bay Area. Brief descriptions are provided as well as active months and status listings. Photos are primarily courtesy of Greg Smith. Species are arranged by family according to the Sibley Guide to Birds (2000). Gaviidae Red-throated Loon Gavia stellata Occurrence: Common Active Months: November-April Federal Status: None State/Audubon Status: None Description: A small loon seldom seen far from salt water. In the non-breeding season they have a grey face and red throat. They have a long slender dark bill and white speckling on their dark back. Information: These birds are winter residents to the Central Coast. Wintering Red- throated Loons can gather in large numbers in Morro Bay if food is abundant. They are common on salt water of all depths but frequently forage in shallow bays and estuaries rather than far out at sea. Because their legs are located so far back, loons have difficulty walking on land and are rarely found far from water. Most loons must paddle furiously across the surface of the water before becoming airborne, but these small loons can practically spring directly into the air from land, a useful ability on its artic tundra breeding grounds. Pacific Loon Gavia pacifica Occurrence: Common Active Months: November-April Federal Status: None State/Audubon Status: None Description: The Pacific Loon has a shorter neck than the Red-throated Loon. The bill is very straight and the head is very smoothly rounded.

To confirm the results based on CR analysis we also analyzed representative species based on two mitochondrial protein-coding genes, cytochrome b (cytb) and NADH dehydrogenase subunit 2 (ND2). These data allowed us to construct a robust phylogeny of the Anseriformes and to compare it with existing phylogenies based on morphological or molecular data. Chauna and Dendrocygna were identified as early offshoots of the Anseriformes. All the remaining taxa fell into two clades that correspond to the two subfamilies Anatinae and Anserinae. Within Anserinae Branta and Anser cluster together, whereas Coscoroba, Cygnus, and Cereopsis form a relatively weak clade with Cygnus diverging first. Five clades are clearly recognizable among Anatinae: (i) the Anatini with Anas and Lophonetta; (ii) the Aythyini with Aythya and Netta; (iii) the Cairinini with Cairina and Aix; (iv) the Mergini with Mergus, Bucephala, Melanitta, Callonetta, So- materia, and Clangula, and (v) the Tadornini with Tadorna, Chloephaga, and Alopochen.

A new method for catching Wilson’s Storm Petrels Oceanites oceanicus at sea. Marine Ornithology 46: 125–127. Catching oceanic birds is challenging for researchers interested in studying migration and feeding dynamics. To address that challenge, we evaluated a new method for catching Wilson’s Storm Petrels Oceanites oceanicus at sea. Using an extended butterfly net and a sweeping technique, we successfully captured 50 sub-adult and adult storm petrels offshore in the Northwest Atlantic with a 94% success rate. All were processed without sign of physical trauma or injury; 100% flew off in apparently good condition. This method provides a cost-effective and safe approach for the capture and study of small oceanic birds attracted to fish slicks.

  • The Complete Mitochondrial Genome of Aix Galericulata and Tadorna Ferruginea: Bearings on Their Phylogenetic Position in the Anseriformes
    The Complete Mitochondrial Genome of Aix galericulata and Tadorna ferruginea: Bearings on Their Phylogenetic Position in the Anseriformes Gang Liu1,2, Lizhi Zhou1,2*,BoLi1,2, Lili Zhang1,2 1 Institute of Biodiversity and Wetland Ecology, School of Resources and Environmental Engineering, Anhui University, Hefei, Anhui, P. R. China, 2 Anhui Biodiversity Information Center, Hefei, Anhui, P. R. China Abstract Aix galericulata and Tadorna ferruginea are two Anatidae species representing different taxonomic groups of Anseriformes. We used a PCR-based method to determine the complete mtDNAs of both species, and estimated phylogenetic trees based on the complete mtDNA alignment of these and 14 other Anseriforme species, to clarify Anseriform phylogenetics. Phylogenetic trees were also estimated using a multiple sequence alignment of three mitochondrial genes (Cyt b, ND2, and COI) from 68 typical species in GenBank, to further clarify the phylogenetic relationships of several groups among the Anseriformes. The new mtDNAs are circular molecules, 16,651 bp (Aix galericulata) and 16,639 bp (Tadorna ferruginea)in length, containing the 37 typical genes, with an identical gene order and arrangement as those of other Anseriformes. Comparing the protein-coding genes among the mtDNAs of 16 Anseriforme species, ATG is generally the start codon, TAA is the most frequent stop codon, one of three, TAA, TAG, and T-, commonly observed. All tRNAs could be folded into canonical cloverleaf secondary structures except for tRNASer (AGY) and tRNALeu (CUN), which are missing the "DHU" arm.Phylogenetic relationships demonstrate that Aix galericula and Tadorna ferruginea are in the same group, the Tadorninae lineage, based on our analyses of complete mtDNAs and combined gene data.

  • Host List of Avian Brood Parasites - 1 - Anatidae
    HOST LIST OF AVIAN BROOD PARASITES - 1 - ANATIDAE Peter E. Lowther, Field Museum version 19 Oct 2008 (illustrations added 08 Jun 2012; new material added 29 Apr 2013, 18 Jul 2017) Heteronetta Heteronetta Salvadori 1865, Atti. Societa Italiana di Scienze Naturale e Museo Civico di Storia Naturale, 8, p. 374. Black-headed Duck, Heteronetta atricapilla (Merrem) 1841, Allgemeine Encyclopadie der Wissenschaften und Kunste in alphabetischer Folge von genannten Schriftstellern bearbeitet und hrsg. von J. S. Ersch und J. G. Gruber, sect. 1, 35, p. 26. General life history information given by Weller (1968, Lyon and Eadie 2013; see also Lowther 2010). Host list from Weller (1968), Höhn (1975), Lyon and Eadie 2013, Cabrera et al. 2017; see also Rees and Hillgarth (1984). Livzey (1986) presents waterfowl phylogeny showing Black-headed Duck to be sister- group to stiff-tails. Species known to have reared this brood parasite indicated by “%”. In captivity, reported hosts have included Rosy-billed Pochard Netta peposaca (Powell 1979, Rees and Hillgarth 1984), Red Shoveler Anas platalea (Todd 1979 1), and Common Moorhen Gallinula chloropus and Silver Teal Anas versicolor (Powell 1979 2. Rees and Hillgarth 1984). The Maguari Stork Ciconia maguari had been listed originally as a host based on supposed parasitic eggs which were later identified as being those of Rosy-billed Pochard Netta peposaca (see Weller 1968); subsequent records returns this species to this list of hosts (Cabrera et al. 2017).
