Recebido em 22 de novembro de 2004; aceito em 11 de agosto de 2005 ABSTRACT. Different authors have used different methods and nomenclatures to describe bird nests of the Neotropical region, leading to mud- dled terminology which makes comparisons among published data difficult. The present study suggests a standardization and a hierarchy of cri- teria which make easier to understand nest structures and allow direct comparisons among data from different authors in reports on bird evolu- tion, conservation, phylogeny, etc. For that, the nest has been defined as any place where the eggs are laid. Four elementary nest standards are proposed: simple (when eggs rest on an unlined or roughly lined floor), cup (any basket or bowl-like form), closed (when the walls completely cover the incubatory chamber), and cavity (when they are placed inside natural or artificial cavities). The simple standard has two variants: un- lined and platform. The cup standard has two variants: high cup and low cup; the closed standard has six variants: long, globular, furnace, irre- gular, ovoid and retort.

  • Seiurus Aurocapilla) on VACA KEY, FLORIDA
    Florida Field Naturalist 41(4):123-125, 2013. ECTOPARASITES COLLECTED FROM THE OVENBIRD (Seiurus aurocapilla) ON VACA KEY, FLORIDA LAWRENCE J. HRIBAR Florida Keys Mosquito Control District, 503 107th Street, Marathon, Florida 33050 The quill mite, Syringophiloidus seiurus (Clark) (Prostigmata: Syringophilidae) and the louse flyOrnithoctona fusciventris (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Hippoboscidae) are among the very few records of ectoparasites from the Ovenbird, Seiurus aurocapilla from Florida (Forrester and Spaulding 2003). On the 17th of November 2011, an Ovenbird was found dead outside a building on Vaca Key in Marathon, Florida (24.729984, -81.039438), apparently having collided with a plate glass window. The bird was handled and feather mites recovered and prepared for study in the same manner as were the specimens examined by Hribar and Miller (2011). Only twenty-five feather mites were recovered. Slide mounts were examined via phase contrast microscopy and then sent to a specialist for identification. Three mite species were recovered, two Proctophyllodidae (Proctophyllodes sp., Amerodectes sp.) and one Trouessartiidae. Unfortunately no specimens were readily identifiable to species. One female mite was identified as Proctophyllodes sp. Females of this genus are very difficult to identify to species, however,Proctophyllodes breviquadratus Atyeo and Braasch is known from Ovenbirds (Atyeo and Braasch 1966). One male and three female Amerodectes were not identifiable to species and may represent an undescribed species. Amerodectes mites are found on a variety of birds in the New World, viz., Apodiformes: Apodidae; Passeriformes: Cardinalidae, Emberizidae, Furnariidae, Hirundinidae, Icteridae, Parulidae, Thraupidae,and Turdidae (Valim and Hernandes 2010). The two male and two female Trouessartia mites appear to be conspecific with mites found on Ovenbirds in Alberta, Canada, and also represent an undescribed species (H.

    HISTORY OF AMBULANCE Posted by HeArt BeaT ^_^ at 12:34 AM Selama Perang Salib abad ke-11, Knights of St John menerima pengajaran dalam perawatan pertolongan pertama dari dokter Arab dan Yunani. The Knights of St John kemudian bertindak sebagai pekerja darurat pertama, mengobati tentara di kedua sisi perang di medan perang dan membawa yang terluka ke tenda terdekat untuk perawatan lebih lanjut. Konsep layanan ambulans dimulai di Eropa dengan Knights of St John, pada saat yang sama itu juga menjadi praktik umum yang dihadiahi reward kecil yang harus dibayarkan kepada prajurit yang membawa prajurit yang terluka lainnya untuk perawatan medis. GUNUNG VESUVIUS PEMUSNAH PERADABAN POMPEII Posted by HeArt BeaT ^_^ at 11:42 PM Hari ini hampir 2000 tahun yang lalu, tepatnya tanggal 24 Agustus tahun 79, terjadi letusan dahsyat gunung Vesuvius tak jauh dari ujung selatan Italia. Konon letusan itu adalah yang pertama setelah gunung api tersebut tertidur lelap selama berabad-abad. Letak Vesuvius, dari http://volcano.und.nodak.edu Gunung Vesuvius yang menurut legenda berarti “Putra Ves/Zeus” alias Hercules, terletak di kawasan Campagnia dekat Teluk Napoli, tak jauh dari kota industri dan perdagangan Pompeii yang ketika itu berpenduduk lebih dari 20 ribu jiwa. Tak jauh dari sana juga terdapat kota peristirahatan musim panas, Herculaneum, yang dipenuhi villa, pemandian ala Romawi, dan tak lupa perjudian. Di sekitarnya dapat dijumpai perkebunan anggur yang luas, juga beberapa kota kecil seperti Stabiae. Letusan pada tahun 79 ini diawali oleh sebuah gempa besar pada tahun 62. Tetapi bangsa Romawi pada masa itu tidak menghubungkan gempa dengan aktivitas gunung berapi. Mungkin ini karena mereka, terutama di Campagnia, sudah terbiasa dengan banyaknya getaran dan goncangan bumi, kecil dan besar.

  • The Hippoboscoidea of British Columbia
    The Hippoboscoidea of British Columbia By C.G. Ratzlaff Spencer Entomological Collection, Beaty Biodiversity Museum, UBC, Vancouver, BC November 2017 The dipteran superfamily Hippoboscoidea is composed of three specialized ectoparasitic families, all of which are found in British Columbia. The Hippoboscidae, known as louse flies, are parasites on birds (subfamily Ornithomyinae) and mammals (subfamily Lipopteninae). The Nycteribiidae and Streblidae, known as bat flies, are parasites exclusively on bats. All are obligate parasites and feed on the blood of their hosts. This checklist of species and their associated hosts is compiled from Maa (1969a, 1969b) and Graciolli et al (2007) with additional records from specimens in the Spencer Entomological Collection at the Beaty Biodiversity Museum. Specific hosts mentioned are limited to species found in British Columbia and are primarily from specimen collection records. Ten species of Hippoboscidae, two species of Nycteribiidae, and one species of Streblidae have been found in British Columbia. Family HIPPOBOSCIDAE Subfamily Ornithomyinae Icosta ardeae botaurinorum (Swenk, 1916) Hosts: Ardeidae [Botaurus lentiginosus (American Bittern)] Icosta nigra (Perty, 1833) Hosts: Accipitridae [Buteo jamaicensis (Red-tailed Hawk)], Falconidae [Falco sparverius (American Kestrel)], Pandionidae [Pandion haliaetus (Osprey)].

  • The Hippo~Oscidaeof Oceania (Diptera)1
    OCCASIONAL PAPERS OF BERNICE P. BISHOP MUSEUM HONOLULU,HAWAII Volume XVI November 22, 1941 Number 11 The Hippo~oscidae of Oceania (Diptera) 1 By JOSEPH C. BEQUAERT HARVARD MEDICAL SCHOOL AND SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH, BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS INTRODUCTION In the present taxonomic study of the Bippoboscidae, Oceania covers, rather arbitrarily, the many archipelagos and isolated islands scattered throughout the Pacific Ocean, from the Marianas and Car­ oline Islands, the Bismarck Archipelago, the Solomon Islands and New Caledonia to the Hawaiian islands and the Galapagos. So far, I have seen material from the Carolines, Marianas, Mar­ quesas, Gilberts, Bismarck Archipelago, Solomons, Loyalty Islands, New Caledonia, Fiji, Samoa, New Hebrides, Hawaiian Archipelago, and Galapagos. This was obtained mainly from the following sources: the British Museum (Natural History), the Paris Museum, the American Museum of Natural History, the Field Museum of Nat­ ural History, the California Academy of Sciences, the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, the Kyushiu Imperial University, Fukuoka, U. S. National Museum, and Bernice P. Bishop Museum. I am under obligation to G. F. Ferris for the loan of type specimens from the collections of Stanford University. The bibliography of each species covers all references to records from Pacific islands; but only localities of specimens actually seen by the several authors are quoted. I have added a full synonymy, with references to the original descriptions, type localities, and type hosts. FAUNAL CHARACTERISTICS The family Hippoboscidae, never a conspicuous element of any fauna, is particularly scanty in Oceania: Only 20 species are listed 1 This is number 15 of my '~Notes on Hippoboscidae." 248 Bernice P.
