  • Disaggregation of Bird Families Listed on Cms Appendix Ii
    Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals 2nd Meeting of the Sessional Committee of the CMS Scientific Council (ScC-SC2) Bonn, Germany, 10 – 14 July 2017 UNEP/CMS/ScC-SC2/Inf.3 DISAGGREGATION OF BIRD FAMILIES LISTED ON CMS APPENDIX II (Prepared by the Appointed Councillors for Birds) Summary: The first meeting of the Sessional Committee of the Scientific Council identified the adoption of a new standard reference for avian taxonomy as an opportunity to disaggregate the higher-level taxa listed on Appendix II and to identify those that are considered to be migratory species and that have an unfavourable conservation status. The current paper presents an initial analysis of the higher-level disaggregation using the Handbook of the Birds of the World/BirdLife International Illustrated Checklist of the Birds of the World Volumes 1 and 2 taxonomy, and identifies the challenges in completing the analysis to identify all of the migratory species and the corresponding Range States. The document has been prepared by the COP Appointed Scientific Councilors for Birds. This is a supplementary paper to COP document UNEP/CMS/COP12/Doc.25.3 on Taxonomy and Nomenclature UNEP/CMS/ScC-Sc2/Inf.3 DISAGGREGATION OF BIRD FAMILIES LISTED ON CMS APPENDIX II 1. Through Resolution 11.19, the Conference of Parties adopted as the standard reference for bird taxonomy and nomenclature for Non-Passerine species the Handbook of the Birds of the World/BirdLife International Illustrated Checklist of the Birds of the World, Volume 1: Non-Passerines, by Josep del Hoyo and Nigel J. Collar (2014); 2.

The Riversleigh World Heritage Area, north-western Queensland, is one of the richest Cenozoic deposits in Australia for passerine fossils. Most of the Riversleigh passerine remains derive from the late Cenozoic Rackham’s Roost Site. Here we describe 38 fossils from this site, which represent eight extant families of passerine birds. These fossils include the oldest records of Maluridae (fairywrens and allies), Acanthizidae (acanthizid warblers), Pomatostomidae (Australo-Papuan babblers), Petroicidae (Australasian robins), Estrildidae (estrildid finches), Locustellidae (songlarks and grassbirds) and Acrocephalidae (reed warblers) in Australia, and the oldest records globally of Maluridae, Acanthizidae, Pomatostomidae, Petroicidae and Estrildidae. The fossils also include the oldest known representatives of the major radiation Passerida sensu stricto in the Australian fossil record, indicating that the second dispersal event of this group had already occurred in this region at least by the early Pleistocene. In describing the Rackham’s Roost fossils, we have identified suites of postcranial characters that we consider diagnostic for several Australian passerine families.

  • Changes from the WA Checklist 2014 (Updated April 2015)
    Changes from the WA Checklist 2014 (updated April 2015) Reptiles and frogs (compiled by P. Doughty, R. Ellis and R. Bray) Revision of species boundaries in Uperoleia. A summary paper of recent genetic work on Uperoleia toadlets redrew several species’ ranges. One result was the discovery that U. inundata occurs widely in the Kimberley, but is difficult to distinguish from U. crassa and U. borealis. This species is now added to the WA frog checklist.

(2014) undertook an analysis of this widely-distributed ‘species’ across the Australian arid zone and monsoonal tropics. Using molecular and morphological data, they found evidence for seven species-level lineages. Four species occur in WA: D. conspicillatus, D. laevis (resurrected from synonymy and widely sympatric with D. conspicillatus), D. bilybara sp. nov.

  • NEW CALEDONIA & FIJI with VANUATU and SAMOA Extensions
    The male Orange Fruit Dove is one of those totally surreal, must see birds (Mark Van Beirs) NEW CALEDONIA & FIJI with VANUATU and SAMOA extensions 21 OCTOBER – 9 NOVEMBER 2018 1 BirdQuest Tour Report: NEW CALEDONIA & FIJI with VANUATU and SAMOA extensions www.birdquest-tours.com LEADER: MARK VAN BEIRS The unique Orange Fruit Dove was the undisputed highlight of our very enjoyable foray to the Melanesian islands of Vanuatu and New Caledonia and the Polynesian islands of Fiji and Samoa. These little dots sprinkled about in the western Pacific Ocean hold an amazing variety of endemics and specialities and on our recent trip we managed to see the majority of these. The best birds of the main tour, which covered New Caledonia and Fiji, included the gorgeous Cloven-feathered Dove, the magnificent Kagu and the terrific Golden Fruit Dove. The Vanuatu pretrip will be remembered for Tanna Fruit Dove, the adorable Buff-bellied Monarch, Vanuatu Megapode and the retiring Vanuatu Kingfisher, while the Samoa extension gave us splendours like Mao, Red-headed Parrotfinch, Blue-crowned Lorikeet and Samoan Whistler. The large island of New Caledonia is a mixture of French and Melanesian cultures, where the fantastic and much-wanted Kagu makes a living. As it is the only representative of its family, we were all very keen to get to grips with this very unusual-looking species. Our day trips to two of the Loyalty Islands added several rare and little known endemics to the tally. The Fiji archipelago exudes a very different feeling and pride of place must go to the three amazing Fruit Doves that make a living on the different islands.

  • Diversity and Endemism in Tidal-Marsh Vertebrates
    Studies in Avian Biology No. 32:32-53 DIVERSITY AND ENDEMISM IN TIDAL-MARSH VERTEBRATES RUSSELL GREENBERG AND JESúS E. MALDONADO Abstract. Tidal marshes are distributed patcliily, predominantly along the mid- to high-latitude coasts of the major continents. The greatest extensions of non-arctic tidal marshes are found along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of North America, but local concentrations can be found in Great Britain, northern Europe, northern Japan, northern China, and northern Korea, Argentina-Uruguay-Brazil, Australia, and New Zealand. We tallied the number of terrestrial vertebrate species that regularly occupy tidal marshes in each of these regions, as well as species or subspecies that are largely restricted to tidal marshes. In each of the major coastal areas we found 8-21 species of breeding birds and 13-25 species of terrestrial mammals. The diversity of tidal-marsh birds and mammals is highly inter-correlated, as is the diversity of species restricted to saltmarshes. These values are, in turn, correlated with tidal-marsh area along a coastline. We estimate approximately seven species of turtles occur in brackish or saltmarshes worldwide, but only one species is endemic and it is found in eastern North America. A large number of frogs and snakes occur opportunistically in tidal marshes, primarily in southeastern United States, particularly Florida. Three endemic snake taxa are restricted to tidal marshes of eastern North America as well. Overall, only in North America were we able to find documentation for multiple taxa of terrestrial vertebrates associated with tidal marshes. These include one species of mammal and two species of birds, one species of snake, and one species of turtle.

  • A Review of the Recent Advances in the Systematics of the Avian Superfamily Sylvioidea
    Chinese Birds 2013, 4(2):99–131 REVIEW DOI 10.5122/cbirds.2013.0016 A review of the recent advances in the systematics of the avian superfamily Sylvioidea Per ALSTRÖM 1,2,, Urban OLSSON 3, Fumin LEI 1 1 Key Laboratory of Zoological Systematics and Evolution, Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100101, China 2 Swedish Species Information Centre, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Box 7007, SE-750 07 Uppsala, Sweden 3 Systematics and Biodiversity, Department of Biology and Environmental Sciences, University of Gothenburg, Box 463, SE-405 30 Göteborg, Sweden Abstract The systematics of the avian superfamily Sylvioidea are reviewed, focusing on studies of relationships among families and within genera, more superficially on taxonomic studies at the species level. For the families Bernieridae and Phylloscopidae, new analyses based on already published sequence data are presented. Our understanding of relationships has been vastly improved in recent years due to a large number of molecular studies. However, the relationships among the different families remain largely obscured, probably mainly as a result of rapid divergence of the different primary lineages (families). Also, species level taxonomy has been much improved in recent years due to a large number of studies applying molecular markers and/or vocalizations and other life-history data. It seems likely that the number of species will continue to increase, as new groups are being studied with modern integrative methods.
