  • Antbird Guilds in the Lowland Caribbean Rainforest of Southeast Nicaragua1
    The Condor 102:7X4-794 0 The Cooper Ornithological Society 2000 ANTBIRD GUILDS IN THE LOWLAND CARIBBEAN RAINFOREST OF SOUTHEAST NICARAGUA1 MARTIN L. CODY Department of OrganismicBiology, Ecology and Evolution, Universityof California, Los Angeles, CA 90095-1606, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract. Some 20 speciesof antbirdsoccur in lowland Caribbeanrainforest in southeast Nicaragua where they form five distinct guilds on the basis of habitat preferences,foraging ecology, and foraging behavior. Three guilds are habitat-based,in Edge, Forest, and Gaps within forest; two are behaviorally distinct, with species of army ant followers and those foraging within mixed-species flocks. The guilds each contain 3-6 antbird species. Within guilds, species are segregatedby body size differences between member species, and in several guilds are evenly spaced on a logarithmic scale of body mass. Among guilds, the factors by which adjacent body sizes differ vary between 1.25 and 1.75. Body size differ- ences may be related to differences in preferred prey sizes, but are influenced also by the density of the vegetation in which each speciescustomarily forages. Resumen. Unas 20 especies de aves hormiguerasviven en el bosque tropical perenni- folio, surestede Nicaragua, donde se forman cinquo gremios distinctos estribando en pre- ferencias de habitat, ecologia y comportamiento de las costumbresde alimentacion. Las diferenciasentre las varias especiesson cuantificadaspor caractaristicasde1 ambiente vegetal y por la ecologia y comportamientode la alimentaci6n, y usadospara definir cinco grupos o gremios (“guilds”).

  • Systematic Relationships and Biogeography of the Tracheophone Suboscines (Aves: Passeriformes)
    MOLECULAR PHYLOGENETICS AND EVOLUTION Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution 23 (2002) 499–512 www.academicpress.com Systematic relationships and biogeography of the tracheophone suboscines (Aves: Passeriformes) Martin Irestedt,a,b,* Jon Fjeldsaa,c Ulf S. Johansson,a,b and Per G.P. Ericsona a Department of Vertebrate Zoology and Molecular Systematics Laboratory, Swedish Museum of Natural History, P.O. Box 50007, SE-104 05 Stockholm, Sweden b Department of Zoology, University of Stockholm, SE-106 91 Stockholm, Sweden c Zoological Museum, University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark Received 29 August 2001; received in revised form 17 January 2002 Abstract Based on their highly specialized ‘‘tracheophone’’ syrinx, the avian families Furnariidae (ovenbirds), Dendrocolaptidae (woodcreepers), Formicariidae (ground antbirds), Thamnophilidae (typical antbirds), Rhinocryptidae (tapaculos), and Conop- ophagidae (gnateaters) have long been recognized to constitute a monophyletic group of suboscine passerines. However, the monophyly of these families have been contested and their interrelationships are poorly understood, and this constrains the pos- sibilities for interpreting adaptive tendencies in this very diverse group. In this study we present a higher-level phylogeny and classification for the tracheophone birds based on phylogenetic analyses of sequence data obtained from 32 ingroup taxa. Both mitochondrial (cytochrome b) and nuclear genes (c-myc, RAG-1, and myoglobin) have been sequenced, and more than 3000 bp were subjected to parsimony and maximum-likelihood analyses. The phylogenetic signals in the mitochondrial and nuclear genes were compared and found to be very similar. The results from the analysis of the combined dataset (all genes, but with transitions at third codon positions in the cytochrome b excluded) partly corroborate previous phylogenetic hypotheses, but several novel arrangements were also suggested.

G. KIRIAKOFF Instituut voor Dierkunde, Rijksuniversiteit, Ghent, Belgium With 15 text-figures Summary. — An annotated list of the Notodontidae (Lepidoptera) from New Guinea, in the collections of the Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie, Leiden; with descriptions of two new genera and twelve new species. Samenvatting. — Een geannoteerde lijst der Notodontidae (Lepidoptera) van Nieuw Guinea, in de verzamelingen van het Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie, Leiden; met beschrijvingen van twee nieuwe geslachten en twaalf nieuwe soorten. This paper deals with the Notodontidae (Lepidoptera) from New Guinea, now in the collections of the Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie, Leiden. Most of the specimens were collected by the late L. J. Toxopeus, who took part in the Netherlands Indian — American Expedition to Netherlands New Guinea (3rd Archbold Expedition to New Guinea 1938-'39). Other material was collected by the Netherlands Expedition to the Star Mountains ("Sterren• gebergte"), 1959 (collector not stated on the labels; "Neth. N.G. Exp." in text). Other collectors were W. Stüber (mainly in the outskirts of Mt. Bewani) and R. Straatman (Biak, Schouten Is.; Hollandia); finally, some specimens were collected at Hollandia by L. D. Brongersma and L. B. Holthuis. The results of the various expeditions form a very good sample of the Notodontid fauna of New Guinea. Most of the genera now known and many species, are represented, with the usual predominance of the three large genera Quadricalcarifera Strand, Cascera Walker, and Omichlis Hampson, the latter two almost endemic and very characteristic.

  • Birding the Atlantic Rainforest, South-East Brazil Itororo Lodge and Regua 11Th – 20Th March 2018
    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.

Eighteen samples (0.3%) presented evidence of predation on vertebrates. Our bibliographic survey also provided records of 203 passerine species preying upon vertebrates, mainly frogs and lizards. Our data suggest that vertebrate predation by passerines is relatively uncommon in the Neotropics and not characteristic of any family. On the other hand, although rare, the ability to prey on vertebrates seems to be widely distributed among Neotropical passerines, which may respond opportunistically to the stimulus of a potential food item.

  • Nocturnal Survey Guidelines Owls, Nighthawks and Whip-Poor-Wills Present Atlas Surveyors with Several Challenges
    Nocturnal Survey Guidelines Owls, nighthawks and Whip-poor-wills present atlas surveyors with several challenges. Although many Minnesota species, including thrushes and marsh birds, may vocalize at sunset, pre-dawn, or even at night, most can be detected during early morning and daytime surveys. The surveyor’s chances of detecting most owls, however, as well as the common nighthawk and whip-poor-will, will be considerably enhanced by adding nocturnal surveys. Owls Minnesota’s 11 owl species are a mix of permanent, non-migratory residents (Eastern Screech Owl, Great Horned Owl and Barred Owl); summer residents (Long-eared Owl, Short-eared Owl, and Saw-whet Owl) and three species whose summer populations probably include both permanent residents and migratory invaders (Boreal Owl, Northern Hawk Owl and Great Gray Owl). The Burrowing Owl is an extremely rare summer resident in the western grassland region and the Barn Owl has been an erratic species whose status as a permanent resident or migratory invader is unknown. Three of these species tend to be more diurnal and the chances of seeing them during the day are relatively good. They include two open habitat species, the Short-eared Owl and Burrowing Owl, and one forest species, the Northern Hawk Owl. Like marsh hawks, Short- eared Owls can often be seen flying low over wet grasslands and marshes hunting for prey during the morning and early evening hours. The Burrowing Owl, a very rare nesting species in the state, is prominent as it stands as a sentinel atop its nesting burrow, just inches above the surrounding grassland.

  • Brazil's Eastern Amazonia
    The loud and impressive White Bellbird, one of the many highlights on the Brazil’s Eastern Amazonia 2017 tour (Eduardo Patrial) BRAZIL’S EASTERN AMAZONIA 8/16 – 26 AUGUST 2017 LEADER: EDUARDO PATRIAL This second edition of Brazil’s Eastern Amazonia was absolutely a phenomenal trip with over five hundred species recorded (514). Some adjustments happily facilitated the logistics (internal flights) a bit and we also could explore some areas around Belem this time, providing some extra good birds to our list. Our time at Amazonia National Park was good and we managed to get most of the important targets, despite the quite low bird activity noticed along the trails when we were there. Carajas National Forest on the other hand was very busy and produced an overwhelming cast of fine birds (and a Giant Armadillo!). Caxias in the end came again as good as it gets, and this time with the novelty of visiting a new site, Campo Maior, a place that reminds the lowlands from Pantanal. On this amazing tour we had the chance to enjoy the special avifauna from two important interfluvium in the Brazilian Amazon, the Madeira – Tapajos and Xingu – Tocantins; and also the specialties from a poorly covered corner in the Northeast region at Maranhão and Piauí states. Check out below the highlights from this successful adventure: Horned Screamer, Masked Duck, Chestnut- headed and Buff-browed Chachalacas, White-crested Guan, Bare-faced Curassow, King Vulture, Black-and- white and Ornate Hawk-Eagles, White and White-browed Hawks, Rufous-sided and Russet-crowned Crakes, Dark-winged Trumpeter (ssp.
