May/mai 2014 2007 1 Dialects in the song of the Splendid Sunbird Cinnyris coccinigastra at the University of Ghana, Legon, Ghana, February–April 2004 by Llewellyn Grimes 3 St Nicholas Court, Warwick CV34 4JY, U.K. <[email protected]> Received 20 July 2005; revised 30 October 2006. Summary Songs of male Splendid Sunbirds were recorded periodically at nine locations where territorial males sang regularly at dawn usually within audible distance of each other, sometimes < 30 m apart. Dialects were distinguished by visual inspection of spectrograms and the mean time interval between the start of consecutive notes in a song (the mean time interval pattern) also characterised dialects. Three dialects were recorded at localities up to 500 m apart. Competing males at four locations sang the same dialect but at three others a sharp dialect boundary occurred and each male, no more than 40 m apart, sang its own distinct dialect. The spectrograms and mean time interval patterns obtained at each location remained unchanged for the duration of the study but none matched those obtained in the same area 30 years earlier.

  • UK-First-Breeding-Register.Pdf
    INTRODUCTION TO EDITION The original author and compiler of this record, Dave Coles has devoted a great deal of his time in creating a unique reference document which I am privileged to continue working with. By its very nature the document in a living project which will continue to grow and evolve and I can only hope and wish that I have the dedication as Dave has had in ensuring the continuity of the “First Breeding Register”. Initially all my additions and edits will be indicated in italics though this will not be used in the main body of the record (when a new record is added). Simon Matthews (2011) It is over eighty years since Emilius Hopkinson collated his RECORDS OF BIRDS BRED IN CAPTIVITY, which formed the starting point for my attempt at recording first breeding records for the UK. Since the first edition of my records was published in 1986, classification has changed several times and the present edition incorporates this up-dated classification as well as first breeding recorded since then. The research needed to produce the original volume took many years to complete and covered most avicultural literature. Since that time numerous people have kept me abreast of further breedings and pointing out those that have slipped the net. This has hopefully enabled the records to be kept up-to- date. To those I would express my thanks as indeed I do to all that have cast their eyes over the new list and passed comments, especially the ever helpful Reuben Girling who continues to pass on enquiries.

  • The Birds of Korup National Park and Korup Project Area, Southwest Province, Cameroon PAUL G
    Bird Conservation International (1994) 4:1-68 The birds of Korup National Park and Korup Project Area, Southwest Province, Cameroon PAUL G. RODEWALD, PIERRE-ANDRE DEJAIFVE and ARTHUR A. GREEN Summary A total of 390 bird species are known to occur in the Korup National Park (KNP) and the surrounding Korup Project Area (KPA). Although the avifauna of KNP is incom- pletely known, it is already among the most ornithologically diverse lowland forest sites in Africa. The avian diversity of the KPA is increased by the montane forest bird species of the Rumpi Hills Forest Reserve (RHFR) and the Nta Ali Forest Reserve (NAFR). The lowland and montane forests of the KNP/KPA are very important to the conservation of African forest birds. Four species found in the Korup area are considered globally threatened, and four are considered near-threatened. In addition, 40 species were consid- ered for threatened status, some of which are likely future additions to the threatened list. Twelve of Korup's 36 montane forest bird species are endemic to the montane areas of western Cameroon, eastern Nigeria, and Bioko (Fernando Po). The RHFR is especially important as a refuge for montane birds because much of the montane forest elsewhere in western Cameroon has been cleared for agriculture. Breeding phenology data are provided for many lowland forest species. Additionally, this report provides information on many rarely recorded species for western Cameroon, including several species not previously documented in the region. Kemp's Longbill Macrosphenus ketnpi was recorded for the first time in Cameroon. Because it is sympatric with the Yellow Longbill M.

Periodic census counts are taken to monitor the population & are recorded in ZIMS Group-managed species kept as colony - the group is kept as a single entity as births and deaths cannot be + monitered. Therefore the start- and end-of-year figures may not reconcile when colonies are split and/or merged. Any such activity is recorded in ZIMS m = male, f = female, unk = unknown ZSL LONDON ZOO Status at 01.01.2020 Births Arrivals Deaths Dispositions Status at 31.12.2020 m f unk m f unk m f unk m f unk m f unk m f unk Invertebrata Aurelia aurita * Moon jellyfish 0 0700 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0400 0 0 0 0 0150 Cassiopea sp. * Frilled upside-down jellyfish 0 0 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 50 0 0 0 Pachyclavularia violacea * Purple star coral 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 Tubipora musica * Organ-pipe coral 0 0 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 Pinnigorgia sp. * Sea fan 00200000000000000020 Lobophytum sp. * Leather coral 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 Sarcophyton sp. * Leathery soft coral 0 0 17 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 5 Sinularia sp.

  • Song Differences and Map Distances in a Population of Acadian Flycatchers
    Wilson Bull., 91(l), 1979, pp. 2941 SONG DIFFERENCES AND MAP DISTANCES IN A POPULATION OF ACADIAN FLYCATCHERS ROBERT B. PAYNE AND PAUL BUDDE Songs may vary among both local birds and local populations (Borror 1961, Borror and Gunn 1965). The variation among birds may allow birds to recognize each other as individuals. The variation among populations has sometimes been described in terms of “dialects,” with neighboring birds having similar songs but populations no more than a few km away having quite distinct songs (Lemon 1966, 1975, Marler 1970, Harris and Lemon 1972, Baptista 1975, Mundinger 1975, Verner 1976). In a few species local geographic variation is less regular and may involve a few neighbors sharing similar songs, but other birds having no songs very similar to those of their neighbors (Borror and Gunn 1965)) and a bird may share a song with only 1 neighbor (Thompson 1970, Kroodsma 1974). Few studies have sampled intensively a large proportion of the singing birds in a single locality and have described the microgeographic pattern of variation in song. Th e possible importance of song similarities in social behavior (Payne 1978)) in the genetic differentiation of popula- tions (Nottebohm 1969, Thielcke 1970)) in adaptation of song to the physical features of the habitat (Nottebohm 1969)) and in marking the structure and dispersal of bird populations (Baptista 1975) all make it desirable to investigate the variation in song on a local level. Here we describe individual variation and the microgeographic pattern of song similarity in a population of Acadian Flycatchers (Empidonax virescens) . The population lives in a relatively homogeneous, linear habitat, the bottomland forest bordering the Potomac River in Montgomery County, Maryland.

  • Does a Species' Extinction–Proneness Predict Its Contribution to Nestedness?
