Survey Key Findings In the context of national obligations to the Convention on Biological Diversity; and in the recognition of the poor quality of the original assessment in June 2014 which found only 16 bird species in total and concluded that the proposed road-widening would cause an “insignificant” impact to wildlife and no impact to Endangered species (because there are no Endangered animal species in the area), this independent bird survey conducted on June 10th and 11th and again from June 14th-19th 2019 concludes that forested habitat along the Bijarim Ro is of high national and probably of high international value to avian biodiversity conservation. Although this survey was limited in time and scope (so that the populations of many species were likely under-recorded), and very little time was available to conduct additional research for this report and for translation (five days total), our survey findings include: (1) 46 species of bird in total, including six species of national conservation concern; (2) 13 territories of the nationally Endangered Fairy Pitta Pitta nympha and 23 territories of the nationally Endangered Black Paradise Flycatcher Terpsiphone atrocaudata within 500m of the Bijarim Ro, with several of these territories within 50m of the road; (3) Three territories of the nationally and globally Endangered Japanese Night Heron Gorsachius goisagi, at least two of which were within 500m of the Bijarim Ro.

Biodiversity Data Journal 8: e49735. https://doi.org/10.3897/BDJ.8.e49735 Abstract Background Species traits affect how a species interacts with the environment and other species and thus determine the role of the species in an ecosystem. They affect not only population dynamics of a species across space and over time, but also community structure and function through their key role in the community assembly processes. Information on species traits is also highly relevant for conservation planning as they determine the adaptive ability of a species in the face of environmental changes. However, information on species traits is usually scarce and sparsely distributed amongst diverse types of literature and sources.

  • Ciconiiformes, Ardeidae) and a Stork (Ciconiidae) from the Pliocene of Myanmar (Burma
    Palaeontologia Electronica palaeo-electronica.org A night heron (Ciconiiformes, Ardeidae) and a stork (Ciconiidae) from the Pliocene of Myanmar (Burma) Thomas A. Stidham, Takehisa Tsubamoto, Zin-Maung-Maung-Thein, Thaung-Htike, Naoko Egi, Yuichiro Nishioka, Maung-Maung, and Masanaru Takai ABSTRACT Two new avian specimens from the Pliocene part of the Irrawaddy sediments of central Myanmar represent the youngest known fossil records of birds from Myanmar (Burma) that previously was restricted to one specimen of an ibis from the middle Eocene. The age of the Sulegon-1 fossil locality is likely from the later part of the Plio- cene based on the presence of the suid Sivachoerus prior, the anthracotheriid Meryco- potamus dissimilis, and the Sumatran rhinoceros Dicerorhinus sp. cf. D. sumatrensis. The distal tarsometatarsus is from a night heron (Ardeidae: Nycticoracini) and exhibits derived (and primitive) features consistent with night herons, but not other groups of ardeids, including the absence of a lateral deflection of trochlea III and a trochlear fur- row extending to the proximal plantar end of trochlea III. The night heron fossil is not distinguishable from some species of Gorsachius and Nycticorax and may derive from one of the extant species in Southeast Asia. The other specimen (a distal tibiotarsus) represents a taxon of stork (Ciconiidae: cf. Leptoptilini) and displays many characters associated with that group (incuding a large centrally positioned intercondylar tubercle, a rounded intercondylar fossa, and distally notched trochlear rims). This stork is smaller than the ‘giant’ storks known from the Plio-Pleistocene of Asia and Africa, and may represent a relative of one of the large extant Asian storks.

    Scholars Academic Journal of Biosciences Abbreviated Key Title: Sch Acad J Biosci ISSN 2347-9515 (Print) | ISSN 2321-6883 (Online) Zoology Journal homepage: https://saspublishers.com/sajb/ Birds of Alsalam and Abyei–Muglad Principalities West Kordofan State, Sudan Zuheir Nour El Dayem Mahmoud* Department of Zoology, Faculty of Science, University of Khartoum DOI: 10.36347/sajb.2020.v08i04.002 | Received: 19.03.2020 | Accepted: 26.03.2020 | Published: 08.04.2020 *Corresponding author: Zuheir Nour El Dayem Mahmoud Abstract Original Research Article The avifauna of West Kordofan received very little attention. The present study aimed to contribute to birds species recorded for the area and Sudan. Observations were made during May 2011, September 2014, October 2016 and 2019 and facilitated by using a binocular. Documentation was made by a Nikon digital camera. The avifauna of western Kordofan included 78 out of the 653 species recorded for Sudan. The non-passerines species were 55 and the passerines were 23. The order Passeriformes was the largest including 9 families and 23 species. Most Accipitridae, except Milvius migrans, were categorized as endangered or critically endangered; The Secretary Bird (Sagittarius serpentarius) as vagrant; and the Arabian Bustard (Ardeotis arabs), Curlew Sandpiper (Calidris ferruginea) and the African Skimmer (Himantopus flavirostris) as near threatened. The abundance scale adopted in this study ranked these bird species as uncommon. The study concluded that more attention to be paid for studying birds of Sudan especially in conflict and oil fields areas. Keywords: Birds, Status, Abundance, West Kordofan, Sudan.

    MISCELLANEOUS PUBLICATIONS MUSEUM OF ZOOLOGY, UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN, NO. 150 Systematics and Evolutionary Rela tionships Among the Herons (~rdeidae) BY ROBERT B. PAYNE and CHRISTOPHER J. RISLEY Ann Arbor MUSEUM OF ZOOLOGY, UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN August 13, 1976 MISCELLANEOUS PUBLICATIONS MUSEUM OF ZOOLOGY, UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN FRANCIS C. EVANS, EDITOR The publications of the Museum of Zoology, University of Michigan, consist of two series-the Occasional Papers and the Miscellaneous Publications. Both series were founded by Dr. Bryant Walker, Mr. Bradshaw H. Swales, and Dr. W. W. Newcomb. The Occasional Papers, publication of which was begun in 1913, serve as a medium for original studies based principally upon the collections in the Museum. They are issued separately. When a sufficient number of pages has been printed to make a volume, a title page, table of contents, and an index are supplied to libraries and individuals on the mailing list for the series. The Miscellaneous Publications, which include papers on field and museum techniques, monographic studies, and other contributions not within the scope of the Occasional Papers, are published separately. It is not intended that they be grouped into volumes. Each number has a title page and, when necessary, a table of contents. A complete list of publications on Birds, Fishes, Insects, Mammals, Mollusks, and Reptiles and Amphibians is available.

    Checklist of the birds of Senegal Page 1 © ABC & Bob Dowsett 2007-2016 This country checklist has been developed by the African Bird Club (ABC) and Bob Dowsett for the use of birdwatchers, ornithologists and other travellers in Africa and its associated islands. You may use the information for your own purposes but if you wish to reproduce material for use in articles and books for example and / or for your own monetary gain, you should seek permission in advance from the African Bird Club at the e-mail address below. The records contained in the checklist are based on country lists in Dowsett, R.J. & Forbes-Watson, A.D. (1993) Checklist of Birds of the Afrotropical and Malagasy Regions, Volume 1: Species limits and distribution published by Tauraco Press, Liège, Belgium. The records were compiled from a number of referenced works and have been brought up to date with records published subsequently. The taxonomic sequence and naming conventions are those used by the African Bird Club. The checklist is provided on a best efforts basis and it is believed in good faith to be correct at the time of writing. Further information about your use of the checklists and the associated responsibilities of the African Bird Club can be found on the website at www.africanbirdclub.org.
