    El Arte De Ilustrar Aves, Una Breve Reseña De La Historia Del Arte En La Ornitología

    Múnera-Roldán & Córdoba-Córdoba 1 Boletín SAO Vol. XVII Arte de ilustrar Aves (No. 01) – Julio 2007 – Pag: 1-9 El arte de ilustrar Aves, una breve reseña de la historia del arte en la ornitología Claudia Múnera-Roldán A & Sergio Córdoba-Córdoba B A Instituto de Investigación de Recursos Biológicos “Alexander von Humboldt”, Diagonal 27 # 15-09, Bogotá - Colombia. E-mail: [email protected] B Asociación Bogotana de Ornitología – ABO, Calle 52 A # 9-72 Apto. 201, Bogotá –Colombia. E-mail: [email protected] Resumen La historia de la ornitología a nivel mundial ha estado muy ligada a la historia de la ilustración científica. Desde épocas antiguas la ilustración nos brinda una visión de las aves en la cultura, apoyo en descripciones morfológicas, comportamiento, descubrimiento de especies nuevas y su clasificación, hasta nuestras guías de identificación de aves en campo y obras de gran valor artístico en si mismas. El desarrollo de la imprenta y su evolución ha permitido que los trabajos científicos junto con ilustraciones científicas cumplan su cometido a lo largo de la historia, lo cual ha sido determinante en el desarrollo de la ornitología como ciencia en el mundo. En Colombia, la ilustración ornitológica – científica también ha sido relevante para el desarrollo de la ornitología en el país. Palabras clave : Aves, historia de la ilustración, historia ornitología, ilustración científica. Abstract History of ornithology is bound to history of scientific illustration. Since ancient times illustration has offered us a vision of birds in culture, as support for morphological descriptions, behavior, discovery of new species and bird classifications, up to birding guides and a wealth of artistic works of great value in themselves.

On the pigment of the negro’s skin and hair. Offprint from Journal of Experimental Medicine 1 (1896). 40pp. Plate. 244 x 170 mm. Original printed wrap- pers, slightly chipped, small marginal tears in back wrapper mended with clear tape, unobtrusive French library stamp on front wrapper. Small dampstain in the lower corner of the last few leaves, but very good. Presentation Copy, inscribed on the front wrapper: “With the com- pliments of John J. Abel.” $450 First Edition, Offprint Issue. Abel and Davis conducted the first detailed analysis of the chemical composition of black skin pigment (mela- nin). They concluded that “In the present state of our knowledge we can only say that it seems highly probable that the pigment of the negro’s hair is not different from the dark pigment found in the hair of the white races, and we may infer that the pigment of the black skin differs only in amount and not in kind from that deposited in the skin of the white man” (p. 40). Abel founded the department of pharmacology at Johns Hopkins and made a number of important discoveries during his long tenure there, including the isolation of epinephrin and the crystallization of insulin.

    Revision of the status of bird species occurring in Colombia 2010 Thomas Donegan, Paul Salaman, David Caro & Miles McMullan Abstract The following species are added to Colombia's bird checklist: Manx Shearwater Puffinus puffinus (observations), Black-headed Gull Chroicocephalus ridibundus (observations), Forster’s Tern Sterna forsteri (photographic record), Grey-backed Hawk Leucopternis occidentalis (observations), Rio Orinoco Spinetail Synallaxis beverlyae (newly described) and Yellow-cheeked Becard Pachyramphus xanthogenys (new record). First confirmed records for Colombia of White Tern Gygis alba (photograph), Point-tailed Palmcreeper Berlepschia rikeri (sonogram and photograph) and Lesser Wagtail-Tyrant Stigmatura napensis (sonogram) are published. A first sight record for Colombia of Blue-mantled Thornbill Chalcostigma stanleyi and photographs of the first specimen record of Ring- billed Gull Larus delawarensis are published. The following species are removed as no records were found: Ecuadorian Trogon Trogon mesurus and Olivaceous Siskin Carduelis olivacea. Various splits are recognised, resulting in changes of name for some species and the recognition of the following ‘new’ species for Colombia: Highland Motmot Momotus aequatorialis, Whooping Motmot Momotus subrufescens, Fulvous Antshrike Frederickena fulva, Chocó Tyrannulet Zimmerius albigularis, Paramo Tapaculo Scytalopus opacus, Black-headed Brush-Finch Arremon atricapillus, Colombian Brush-Finch Arremon basilicus and Phelps’ Brush-Finch Arremon perijanus. San Andrés Mockingbird Mimus magnirostris is removed due to recognition of a lump. Rationales for splits of Colombian Chachalaca Ortalis columbiana, Chestnut-mandibled Toucan Ramphastos swainsonii and Venezuelan Tyrannulet Zimmerius improbus are presented, including sonograms showing vocal support for the splits in the case of Ortalis and Zimmerius. Various species change category within the list, following a review of record documentation.
