RESPONSES OF THE OCELLATED TURKEY (MELEAGRIS OCELLATA) TO HUMAN DISTURBANCE A Thesis Presented in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Master of Science in the Department of Biology The University of Mississippi by, Thomas H. Martin May 2017 Copyright © 2017 by Thomas H. Martin ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT Habitat loss and habitat degradation are major drivers of the current biodiversity crisis. Nowhere else are these threats more severe than in the tropics. Because the tropics are estimated to contain as much as 60% of all the species on Earth, they are critically important for the conservation of biodiversity. To conserve species we need to understand both the factors that lead to extinction and how the taxa that persist are able to adapt to the rapid anthropogenic change of their environment. The Ocellated Turkey (Meleagris ocellata) is a Neotropical galliform bird of conservation concern because it faces a rapidly changing environment.

  • The Cracidae – Chachalacas, Guans and Curassows the Cracidae Or
    The Cracidae – Chachalacas, Guans and Curassows The Cracidae or cracids are a bird family group of ancient origin going back perhaps some 50 million years and currently inhabiting parts of South and Central America. The Craci are a sub-order of the Galliformes which also contains most of the best known game birds in the sub-order the Phasiani such as pheasants, grouse, guinea fowls, and quails. The other members of the Craci comprise the megapodes of Australasia. Cracids are mostly arboreal (tree-dwelling) species which typically inhabit forest environments and thus their biology and habits are not well known. There is a good deal of debate on how many species the family comprise but there are some 40 – 50 currently extant. Curassows are the largest in size of the birds in this group with measurements generally in the 70-80 cm range; Guans are slightly smaller (+/- 60cm) and Chachalacas the smallest in the group at +/- 50 cm. Chachalacas are all rather similar in appearance Plain Chachalaca Ortalis vetula Chaco Chachalaca Ortalis canicollis Cracids appear to be monogamous and make a rather flat rudimentary nest of sticks with two to four plain white or cream eggs being laid depending on the species; the eggs are quite large relative to the size of the bird although the nests tend to be relatively small. Little Chachalaca Ortalis motmot Rufous-vented Chachalaca Ortalis ruficauda All cracids are typically vegetarian eating fruits, seeds, flowers, buds and leaves but limited evidence shows that some animal matter, especially insects such as grasshoppers are taken. Most cracids are highly vocal and their calls can carry a considerable distance.

  • Birds in Atlantic Forest Fragments in North-East Brazil
    Cotinga 20 Birds in Atlantic Forest fragments in north-east Brazil Luís Fábio Silveira, Fábio Olmos and Adrian J. Long Cotinga 20 (2003): 32–46 Durante o mês de outubro de 2001 os autores percorreram 15 fragmentos florestais no Estado de Alagoas, Brasil. O objetivo principal foi localizar novas populações e obter mais dados sobre os táxons endêmicos do ‘Centro Pernambuco’. Foram realizados censos em cada um dos fragmentos, que também foram analisados quanto ao estado geral de conservação. Discute-se a presença de espécies-chave, como grandes frugívoros ou aquelas sensíveis à fragmentação ou às mudanças na estrutura da vegetação. Os dois fragmentos mais importantes, com relação ao número de espécies encontrado e o número de táxons endêmicos, estão localizados na Usina Serra Grande (Mata do Pinto e Mata do Engenho Coimbra), onde foram registrados 16 táxons endêmicos e/ou ameaçados de extinção. Recomenda-se pesquisa taxonômica urgente, que procure evidenciar os táxons endêmicos do ‘Centro Pernambuco’, além de uma efetiva proteção aos fragmentos e às aves que ainda os habitam, uma maior vigilância contra a caça, a retirada de madeira e o desmatamento e um programa de reflorestamento que procure conectar os fragmentos mais próximos entre si.
