MORPHOLOGICAL and ECOLOGICAL EVOLUTION in OLD and NEW WORLD FLYCATCHERS a Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the College O
MORPHOLOGICAL AND ECOLOGICAL EVOLUTION IN OLD AND NEW WORLD FLYCATCHERS A dissertation presented to the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Clay E. Corbin August 2002 This dissertation entitled MORPHOLOGICAL AND ECOLOGICAL EVOLUTION IN OLD AND NEW WORLD FLYCATCHERS BY CLAY E. CORBIN has been approved for the Department of Biological Sciences and the College of Arts and Sciences by Donald B. Miles Associate Professor, Department of Biological Sciences Leslie A. Flemming Dean, College of Arts and Sciences CORBIN, C. E. Ph.D. August 2002. Biological Sciences. Morphological and Ecological Evolution in Old and New World Flycatchers (215pp.) Director of Dissertation: Donald B. Miles In both the Old and New Worlds, independent clades of sit-and-wait insectivorous birds have evolved. These independent radiations provide an excellent opportunity to test for convergent relationships between morphology and ecology at different ecological and phylogenetic levels. First, I test whether there is a significant adaptive relationship between ecology and morphology in North American and Southern African flycatcher communities. Second, using morphological traits and observations on foraging behavior, I test whether ecomorphological relationships are dependent upon locality. Third, using multivariate discrimination and cluster analysis on a morphological data set of five flycatcher clades, I address whether there is broad scale ecomorphological convergence among flycatcher clades and if morphology predicts a course measure of habitat preference. Finally, I test whether there is a common morphological axis of diversification and whether relative age of origin corresponds to the morphological variation exhibited by elaenia and tody-tyrant lineages. -
Cerro Blanco
COTINGA 2 Cerro Blanco New and interesting records of birds from a dry forest reserve in south-west Ecuador Karl S. Berg Resum en La reserva forestal Cerro Blanco es una de las pocas áreas protegidas con más de 200 ha de bosque seco sobre el oeste ecuatoriano. Aunque existen listas de registros de aves en la reserva, con frecuencia no se conocen las fechas ni localidades en que fueron tomados. De otro lado, esta información no incluye observaciones de algunas de las partes de más difícil acceso en la reserva, ni muestra con precisión las diferentes altitudes, los tipos de bosques o las estaciones. Una información más amplia será cada vez más importante para la conservación y manejo de la vida silvestre de la reserva a medida que se intensifica la industria y la agricultura alrededor de Guayaquil, y se amenaza con aislar ecológicamente Cerro Blanco. Este artículo presenta los registros de aves para la reserva, detalles de algunas especies poco conocidas o amenazadas, y una lista actualizada de las especies del bosque. Cerro Blanco (02°10'S 80°02'W) is a protected aid of various fieldguides3,5,8,9 and were made dry tropical forest approximately 15 km west 15 to 45 days apart throughout the 10 month of Guayaquil, Guayas province, south-west period. Trails surveyed were Quebrada Canoa, Ecuador. The 2000 ha forest is at the south Buenavista, the road between the Mirador de ern end of the Cordillera de la Costa that runs los Monos and Quebrada de los Papagayos (see from the Gulf of Guayaquil, north to the prov Map). -
Breeding Status of Rose-Throated Becards Along the Santa Cruz River, Arizona
Arizona Birds - Journal of Arizona Field Ornithologists Volume 2021 BREEDING STATUS OF ROSE-THROATED BECARDS ALONG THE SANTA CRUZ RIVER, ARIZONA BILL LISOWSKY, PO BOX 4587, TUBAC, AZ, [email protected] ABSTRACT: Rose-throated Becards (Pachyramphus aglaiae) are rare in the United States. On occasion, small groups of nests develop just north of the Arizona/Mexico border. Nests in a specific area often proliferate over a period of years and then just as Flagsta suddenly disappear. One such cluster of nests was found and documented along the Santa Cruz River in Santa Cruz County, Arizona in the late 1940s. More than 70 years later, Rose-throated Becards are again nesting here and over the past 5 years at least Phoenix 19 nests have been confirmed, with over 28 juveniles detected. This is now the only active breeding population of this species in the United States (Figure 1). Tucson Santa Cruz County Figure 1. Map of Arizona highlighting Santa Cruz County Rose-throated Becards (Pachyramphus aglaiae) are typically found from northern Mexico to Central America and are rare visitors to the United States. This article will share the story of a breeding population along the Santa Cruz River in Santa Cruz County, Arizona over the past 5 years, currently the only one active in the United States. Rose-throated Becard sightings in the United States are confined to Texas and Arizona. A typical scenario is that a single bird is reported in the same area for an extended period but unless nesting it is often difficult to relocate by hopeful observers. -
Yellow-Bellied Flycatcher Empidonax Flaviventris
Yellow-bellied Flycatcher Empidonax flaviventris Doug Gross/PGC Photo Current Status: In Pennsylvania, the yellow-bellied flycatcher is listed as state endangered and pro- tected under the Game and Wildlife Code. Although not list as endangered or threatened at the federal level, this bird is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Migratory Bird of Conservation Concern in the North- east. All migratory birds are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918. POPULATION TREND: This is one of the rarest nesting birds in the state; it generally nests in remote areas, so trends are difficult to determine. Nesting pairs have been found since 1987 in isolated swamps in Luzerne, Lycoming, McKean, Sullivan and Wyoming counties. The largest and most stable population is the Dutch Mountain wetland complex in western Wyoming County, including Coalbed Swamp, that is part of State Game Lands 57. Several sites seem to be occupied for a year or two, then go vacant. It for- merly nested in the Pocono Mountains, but has not been found nesting there since the 1930s. The yellow -bellied flycatcher (Empidonax flaviventris) was changed from threatened to endangered in 2005 by the Game Commission following the advice of the Ornithological Technical Committee, because of its extreme rarity. The Appalachian Mountain populations of this and other boreal forest species have declined over the last decades. It formerly nested occasionally in scattered high elevation locations as far south as North Carolina in the Appalachian Mountains. The nearest nesting populations are about 100 miles away in the Catskill Mountains of New York. Populations seem to be increasing in New York, but decreasing in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. -
Suriname! (Dani Lopez-Velasco)
Visiting a lek of the stunning Guianan Cock-of-the-Rock is definitely a must for any birder. And there´s no better place to do it than Suriname! (Dani Lopez-Velasco) SURINAME 23 FEBRUARY – 9/14 MARCH 2015 LEADER: DANI LOPEZ VELASCO and SEAN DILROSUN On our third tour to Suriname we amassed a great list of Guianan specialities, next to a splendid selection of more widespread, but rarely seen species. Our intrepid group recorded 404 species of birds, 16 mammals and some lovely ‘herps’ in this little country with its surface of about eight times Wales and its population of just over half a million people. We visited five different areas comprising three distinct ecosystems. It started with a short visit to the white sand grasslands and scrub of central Suriname where Black-faced Hawk, Bronzy Jacamar, Point-tailed Palmcreeper, Saffron-crested Tyrant–Manakin, Black Manakin and Glossy- backed Becard grabbed our attention. It continued with the famous Raleigh Falls and the Voltzberg, where many Guianan Cocks-of-the-Rock put on an unforgettable show on their lek, while other major avian highlights included brilliant Pompadour Cotingas, massive Black-throated and the very localized Band-tailed 1 BirdQuest Tour Report: Suriname www.birdquest-tours.com Antshrikes and delightful Red-billed Pied Tanagers. The misty forests of the Brownsberg were lighted up by incredibly tame Grey-winged Trumpeters and Black Curassows, rare Racket-tailed and stunning Tufted Coquettes, gaudy Blue-backed Tanagers and delicate White-fronted Manakins, colorful Rose-breasted Chats and much wanted Red-and black Grosbeaks. The coastal area held goodies like Scarlet Ibis, Rufous Crab Hawk, localized Arrowhead Piculets and Blood-coloured Woodpeckers and striking Crimson-hooded Manakins. -
