The Use of Infrared-Triggered Cameras for Surveying Phasianids in Sichuan Province, China
Ibis (2010), 152, 299–309 The use of infrared-triggered cameras for surveying phasianids in Sichuan Province, China SHENG LI,1* WILLIAM J. MCSHEA,2 DAJUN WANG,1 LIANGKUN SHAO3 &XIAOGANGSHI4 1Center for Nature and Society, College of Life Sciences, Peking University, Beijing, 100871, China 2Conservation and Research Center, National Zoological Park, Front Royal, VA 22630, USA 3Wanglang National Nature Reserve, Pingwu County, Sichuan Province, 622550, China 4Wolong National Nature Reserve, Sichuan Province, 623006, China We report on the use of infrared-triggered cameras as an effective tool to survey phasia- nid populations in Wanglang and Wolong Nature Reserves, China. Surveys at 183 camera-trapping sites recorded 30 bird species, including nine phasianids (one grouse and eight pheasant species). Blood Pheasant Ithaginis cruentus and Temminck’s Tragopan Tragopan temminckii were the phasianids most often detected at both reserves and were found within the mid-elevation range (2400–3600 m asl). The occupancy rate and detec- tion probability of both species were examined using an occupancy model relative to eight sampling covariates and three detection covariates. The model estimates of occupancy for Blood Pheasant (0.30) and Temminck’s Tragopan (0.14) are close to the naïve estimates based on camera detections (0.27 and 0.13, respectively). The estimated detection probability during a 5-day period was 0.36 for Blood Pheasant and 0.30 for Temminck’s Tragopan. The daily activity patterns for these two species were assessed from the time ⁄ date stamps on the photographs and sex ratios calculated for Blood Pheasant (152M : 72F) and Temminck’s Tragopan (48M : 21F). -

HOST LIST of AVIAN BROOD PARASITES - 2 - CUCULIFORMES - Old World Cuckoos
Cuckoo hosts - page 1 HOST LIST OF AVIAN BROOD PARASITES - 2 - CUCULIFORMES - Old World cuckoos Peter E. Lowther, Field Museum version 05 Mar 2018 This list remains a working copy; colored text used often as editorial reminder; strike-out gives indication of alternate names. Names prefixed with “&” or “%” usually indicate the host species has successfully reared the brood parasite. Notes following names qualify host status or indicate source for inclusion in list. Important references on all Cuculiformes include Payne 2005 and Erritzøe et al. 2012 (the range maps from Erritzøe et al. 2012 can be accessed at http://www.fullerlab.org/cuckoos/.) Note on taxonomy. Cuckoo taxonomy here follows Payne 2005. Phylogenetic analysis has shown that brood parasitism has evolved in 3 clades within the Cuculiformes with monophyletic groups defined as Cuculinae (including genera Cuculus, Cerococcyx, Chrysococcyx, Cacomantis and Surniculus), Phaenicophaeinae (including nonparasitic genera Phaeniocphaeus and Piaya and the brood parasitic genus Clamator) and Neomorphinae (including parasitic genera Dromococcyx and Tapera and nonparasitic genera Geococcyx, Neomorphus, and Guira) (Aragón et al. 1999). For host species, most English and scientific names come from Sibley and Monroe (1990); taxonomy follows either Sibley and Monroe 1990 or Peterson 2014. Hosts listed at subspecific level indicate that that taxon sometimes considered specifically distinct (see notes in Sibley and Monroe 1990).

Qinghai, Shanxi & Sichuan
Central China: Qinghai, Shanxi & Sichuan Custom Tour: 2 – 17 June 2012 We were in Giant Panda country throughout this trip, and although we found fresh scat, it was never our intention to track this near mythical mammal. However we did get lucky with a troop of argumentative and scarce Golden Snub-nosed Monkeys in Shanxi. www.tropicalbirding.com Tour Leader: Keith Barnes Male Temminck’s Tragopan on the road! How about that…this was one of 6 pheasant species seen well from the roadside on this tour. Introduction: Central China is spectacular. Both visually stunning and spiritually rich, and it is home to many scarce, seldom-seen and spectacular looking birds. With our new base in Taiwan, little junkets like this one to some of the more seldom reached and remote parts of this vast land are becoming more popular, and this custom trip was planned with the following main objectives in mind: (1) see the Pink-tailed Bunting, (2) see the Crested Ibis which was once in the mid 70’s nearly extinct and (3) see as many pheasants as possible without subjecting the clients to trail walking, which they do not enjoy. We achieved all three of these aims, including 10 species of phasianids, and added for good measure the very first bird tour sightings of the enigmatic Blackthroat (a bird that’s breeding range was unknown until last year), a great selection of phasianids, including the endemic Rusty-necklaced Partridge and a series of great road-side chickens including magical views of Temminck’s Tragopan. But there were a lot of other star attractions, including the immaculate Henderson’s Ground-Jay, and a party of four Tibetan Snowcocks that stood on a www.tropicalbirding.com high ridge. -

In all we recorded 287 species including many endemics and specialities. We began in Chengdu before heading down to Emei Shan and the new hot-spot of Longcanggou which provided us with such delights as Temminck’s Tragopan, lots of phylloscopus and seicercus warblers, numerous bush-warblers, Emei Shan Liocichla and Great and Grey-hooded Parrotbills. We can be a little flexible on this tour as there are just so many great birds to find and every mountain seems to have different possibilities, so with that in mind we visited Erlang Shan and saw Lady Amherst Pheasant, Firethroat, Black-streaked Scimitar-babbler and Barred Laughingthrush. The next site was the fabulous Balang Shan where Chinese Monal, Snow Partridge, Grandala and other high altitude birds were seen. -

China: Sichuan & the Tibetan Plateau of Qinghai
Tropical Birding Trip Report CHINA: Sichuan & Qinghai May-June 2015 A Tropical Birding CUSTOM tour CHINA: SICHUAN & THE TIBETAN PLATEAU OF QINGHAI 17th – 3rd March 2015 The soft, pastel colors of this male White-browed Tit-Warbler were a very popular feature of this tour Tour Leader: Sam Woods Report and all photos by Sam Woods/Tropical Birding 1 www.tropicalbirding.com +1-409-515-0514 [email protected] Page Tropical Birding Trip Report CHINA: Sichuan & Qinghai May-June 2015 INTRODUCTION In many ways this was not a typical tour of these areas; the tour formed two parts, (like the main section of the Sichuan/Qinghai combo tour that we have run in recent years, although was run with different participants on each of these legs). Thus, the itinerary followed our main Sichuan and Qinghai itinerary, but did not cover the Southern Shans Extension, and did not include any birding in Sichuan’s capital, Chengdu. On the Qinghai leg in particular, it was especially focused on targeting a specific list of birds requested by the experienced world birder on board the tour. To this end, we were very successful, finding almost all of the species on the elite list of birds requested, most notably the Pink-tailed Bunting or Prezevalski’s Rosefinch, (photo below), leaving this birder with just two more world bird families to complete his family quest. The Sichuan section ran largely as the usual, main section, of the tour had done previously, although did not include the Southern Shans extension, and therefore many birds normally associated with a longer, three-week tour of the province were not seen on this itinerary. -
CHINA: Sichuan and the Tibetan Plateau
Tropical Birding Trip Report SICHUAN and the TIBETAN PLATEAU, CHINA June 2017 A Tropical Birding SET DEPARTURE tour CHINA: Sichuan and the Tibetan Plateau 1st - 17th June 2017 This Przevalski’s Rosefinch was a new family for all participants Tropical Birding Tour Leaders: Sam Woods and Charley Hesse Assisted by Xaio Nong Yang throughout (Report by Sam Woods/ all photos by Charley Hesse unless stated) INTRODUCTION: Sichuan is often the first region of China birders choose to visit; and it not hard to see why. Many regional endemics are present and some standout families like pheasants, parrotbills, and recently too, a key monotypic family, Przevalski’s Rosefinch. This is complemented by the fascinating Sichuan cuisine, and a starkly different culture to much of the world. We got to experience all of this first hand. Parrotbills virtually opened the tour, with the usual Vinous-throated Parrotbills around the spotless city of Chengdu. Other standouts from this particular family included, both Great and Three-toed Parrotbills at Loncanggou, a place where we also sampled our first pheasant in the form of Temminck´s Tragopan. Other pheasants included Chinese Monal, White Eared-Pheasant, and Tibetan Snowcock amongst the 1 www.tropicalbirding.com +1-409-515-9110 [email protected] Page Tropical Birding Trip Report SICHUAN and the TIBETAN PLATEAU, CHINA June 2017 impressive rugged scenery of Balang Shan, and Lady Amherst’s Pheasant at Erlangshan. The bold Blue Eared- Pheasant in the tall spruce forests of the Baxi Valley was also memorable, and following such sterling views, unsurprisingly made it into the hallowed top five birds of the tour. -

This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. The extinction risk of endemic birds of mainland China was modeled over evolutionary time. Results showed that extinction risk of endemic birds in mainland China always tended to be similar within subclades over the evolutionary time of species divergence, and the overall evolution of extinction risk of species presented a conservatism pattern, as evidenced by the disparity-through- time plot. A constant-rate evolutionary model was the best one to quantify the evolution of extinction risk of endemic birds of mainland China. Thus, there was no rate shifting pattern for the evolution of extinction risk of Chinese endemic birds over time. In a summary, extinction risk of endemic birds of mainland China is systematically quantified under the evolutionary framework in the present work. 1.
