  • Interspecific Social Dominance Mimicry in Birds
    bs_bs_banner Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2014. With 6 figures Interspecific social dominance mimicry in birds RICHARD OWEN PRUM1,2* 1Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Yale University, New Haven, CT 06520-8150, USA 2Peabody Natural History Museum, Yale University, New Haven, CT 06520-8150, USA Received 3 May 2014; revised 17 June 2014; accepted for publication 21 July 2014 Interspecific social dominance mimicry (ISDM) is a proposed form of social parasitism in which a subordinate species evolves to mimic and deceive a dominant ecological competitor in order to avoid attack by the dominant, model species. The evolutionary plausibility of ISDM has been established previously by the Hairy-Downy game (Prum & Samuelson). Psychophysical models of avian visual acuity support the plausibility of visual ISDM at distances ∼>2–3 m for non-raptorial birds, and ∼>20 m for raptors. Fifty phylogenetically independent examples of avian ISDM involving 60 model and 93 mimic species, subspecies, and morphs from 30 families are proposed and reviewed. Patterns of size differences, phylogeny, and coevolutionary radiation generally support the predic- tions of ISDM. Mimics average 56–58% of the body mass of the proposed model species. Mimics may achieve a large potential deceptive social advantage with <20% reduction in linear body size, which is well within the range of plausible, visual size confusion. Several, multispecies mimicry complexes are proposed (e.g. kiskadee- type flycatchers) which may coevolve through hierarchical variation in the deceptive benefits, similar to Müllerian mimicry. ISDM in birds should be tested further with phylogenetic, ecological, and experimental investigations of convergent similarity in appearance, ecological competition, and aggressive social interactions between sympatric species.

Birds vary widely in size from the Bee Hummingbird Mellisuga helenae to Common Ostrich Struthio camelus, and come in a staggering range of shapes. Last century, the feld of eco-morphology began to shed light on the way birds are shaped by habitat preferences and foraging behaviour, but studies focused on relatively few species and left numerous gaps in understanding. Joe’s talk explored recent research based on detailed measurements of almost all of the world’s bird species, and described how this new infux of information has been combined with spatial, phylogenetic and ecological data to help answer some fundamental questions, such as how does bird diversity arise, and how can it best be conserved?

  • Use of an Exotic Tree Plantation by Bornean Lowland Forest Birds
    The Auk 110(3):529-540, 1993 USE OF AN EXOTIC TREE PLANTATION BY BORNEAN LOWLAND FOREST BIRDS SHAIBAL S. MITRA • AND FREDERICK H. SHELDON 2 1Committeeon EvolutionaryBiology, University of Chicago,Chicago, Illinois 60637, USA; and 2Departmentof Ornithology,Academy of Natural Sciences, 1900 BenjaminFranklin Parkway, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103, USA ABSTRACT.--DuringMay to July 1982,we surveyedbirds in primary forestand in different- aged grovesof the exotictree Albiziafalcataria at SabahSoftwoods, a lowland tree plantation in Sabah,East Malaysia (formerly British North Borneo).We found that the Albiziawas in general attractive to many native birds. About 60% of primary-forestspecies used the plan- tation, and the frequencyat which individuals were observedin the oldestgroves was almost twice that of nearby primary forest. The Albiziaattracted birds because,as an extremely fast- growing legume with thin leaves,it permitted the rapid development of a well-structured secondaryforest. It alsowas heavily infestedwith pestinsects, which providedan abundant food source. Despite its apparent richness,however, the Albizia lacked several important featuresof natural forest(e.g. canopyfruits and nestholes). As a result,some primary-forest bird groupswere poorly represented(e.g. large canopy frugivores and flycatchers)and others could make only limited use of the plantation(e.g. woodpeckers).In addition, the Albiziais expectedto loseits diversityas the plantationas a whole ages.Many of the plantationbirds were transientsfrom nearbyforest that visited daily to feed, and someprobably had been displacedby intense logging. The number of daily transientsshould decreaseas primary forestrecedes due to logging and development.Refugee species diversity should sufferfrom attrition as the plantation is cropped and predation and age take their toll.

SHORT, JR.1 SYNOPSIS: An analysis of the characters of three West Indian flickers (Colaptes auratu* chrysocaulosus of Cuba, C, a. gundlachi of Grand Cayman and C. fernan. dinae of Cuba) is presented. Variation in about 80 characters is discussed, and results indicate that the two races of C. autatus comprise a distinctive subspecies group, the populations of which have undergone considerable di*ergence in long isolation from their conspecific relatives in continental North America, The.chry- Socautosus subspecies group is derived from ancestral North American C. auratus, and exhibits certain traits thought to be primitive in. this species. The race gundlachi is well-diffetentiated and originated from pre-chrus·ocaulosus stock from Cuba. Fernandina's flicker (C. fernandinae) is sympatric with C. a. chrusocaulosus on Cuba, and is higlily distinctive.

Participants were treated to an amazing number of star birds including Spoon-billed Sandpiper, Nordmann’s Greenshank, Pallas’s Gull, Mountain Bamboo Partridge, Mrs. Hume’s and Silver Pheasants, Siamese Fireback, Green Peafowl, Grey Peacock-Pheasant, Jerdon’s Baza, Black-tailed Crake, Great and Wreathed Hornbills, Hodgson’s and Blyth’s Frogmouths, Barred Eagle-Owl, Spotted Wood and Brown Wood Owl and the near mythical Oriental Bay Owl, stunning Malayan Banded, Blue, Rusty-naped and Mangrove Pittas, Ratchet-tailed Treepie, Limestone, Streaked, Eye- browed and Pygmy Wren-Babblers, Scarlet-faced Liocichla, Grey-headed and Spot-breasted Parrotbills, Giant Nuthatch, Slaty, Heart-spotted, White-bellied and Black-headed Woodpeckers, Sultan Tit, Chestnut-naped Forktail, Mrs. Gould’s Sunbird, and Nicobar Pigeon. Daily Diary A tense but excited group of birders arrived at Pak Thale, famous for its wintering wader flocks. Within half an hour, we were watching the target of our long journey here to the Gulf of Thailand – the critically endangered Spoon-billed Sandpiper. We were a relieved and happy group of birders to witness that this species still visits this area annually. There have been several positive outcomes with the captive breeding programme, as one of the birds had a leg flag! A short while later it was joined by a second bird.

    FORKTAIL 18 (2002): 67-86 A collection of birds from the Cardamom Mountains, Cambodia, including a new subspecies of Arborophila cambodiana JONATHAN C. EAMES, FRANK D. STEINHEIMER and ROS BANSOK As part of a wider exploration effort to determine the biological importance of the Cardamom Mountains, Cambodia, and to identify priority species and habitats for conservation, we undertook fieldwork on two hitherto unexplored mountains in the Mount Samkos Wildlife Sanctuary during February and March 2000. During the survey a total of 166 bird species were recorded either by trapping or direct observation, including two threatened species (Chestnut-headed Partridge Arborophila cambodiana and Green Peafowl Pavo cristatus) and 15 species new for Cambodia. In total, 52 skins, one wing, 28 complete and 35 incomplete alcohol specimens and 35 tissue samples were collected. This collection contains two specimens of the Chestnut-headed Partridge intermediate between the two known subspecies A. c. cambodiana and A. c. diversa and therefore distinctive enough to be described as a new subspecies. In comparison with the Da Lat Plateau EBA in Vietnam, the same bird-feeding guilds were present, although represented by fewer genera. The geographic factors most likely to have led to the evolution of a depauperate avifauna in the Cardamom Mountains are their isolation from other ranges in Indochina, their relatively low height, and the small overall area of habitat above 1,500 m. Nevertheless, the occurrence of two restricted-range species (Chestnut-headed Partridge and Cambodian Laughingthrush Garrulax ferrarius) in the Cardamom Mountains means the Thailand-Cambodia Mountains Secondary Area (s085) does now meet the minimum criteria for an EBA and the area should be considered to be of elevated conservation concern.

  • Vertebrata: Aves: Piciformes) and Implications for Creationist Design Arguments P.A
    OPEN ACCESS JCTS Article SERIES B Baraminological Analysis of the Picidae (Vertebrata: Aves: Piciformes) and Implications for Creationist Design Arguments P.A. Garner Biblical Creation Ministries, Soham, Cambs, UK Abstract The Picidae (woodpeckers, wrynecks and piculets) comprise a family within the near passerine order Piciformes. Creationists have often appealed to the unique anatomical and behavioural specializations found in woodpeckers as evidence of divine design. However, until now no baraminological studies of the group have been undertaken. This paper reports a baraminic distance correlation analysis of 50 morphological characters (mostly related to hind limb musculature) and 20 taxa (12 picids and eight outgroup taxa). The results show that the woodpeckers, wrynecks and piculets form a well-defined group united by significant positive correlation and separated from seven of the eight outgroup taxa (barbets, toucans and toucanets) by significant negative correlation. The eighth outgroup taxon, the honeyguide Indicator, was neither positively nor negatively correlated with the other taxa in the dataset. Multidimensional scaling applied to the baraminic distances revealed an orthogonal pattern with ingroup taxa arranged on one axis and outgroup taxa on another, a result that has previously been interpreted as mitigating conclusions of negative discontinuity. However, repeating the analysis without the genus Indicator, which formed one of the axes, did not change the negative correlation between the picids and non-picids, suggesting that the result cannot be dismissed merely as an artefact of the multidimensional scaling pattern. The results suggest that all members of the Picidae constitute a single holobaramin. This conclusion is consistent with hybridization data indicating the monobaraminic status of at least 12 genera in six of the nine tribes within the Picidae.
