Retrieved August 28, Penguins are widely considered endearing for their unusually upright, waddling gait, swimming ability and compared to other birds lack of fear of humans. But, unlike penguins, puffins can fly, as flightless birds would not survive alongside land-based predators such as polar bears and foxes; there are no such predators in the Antarctic. The air layer also helps insulate the birds in cold waters. Despite lower levels of compulsory Latin in schools today, the language remains prolific in many areas of our daily life. True Comfort. Kirsch and S. In Alan Christopherson, M. ON OFF. Category: Language. Several authors have suggested that penguins are a good example of Bergmann's Rule [59] [60] where larger bodied populations live at higher latitudes than smaller bodied populations. An unnamed fossil from Argentina proves that, by the Bartonian Middle Eocene , some 39—38 mya, [31] primitive penguins had spread to South America and were in the process of expanding into Atlantic waters.

They are characterized by hairy yellow ornamental head feathers; their bills are at least partly red. The Penguin Latin Dictionary Reviews These two genera diverged apparently in the Middle Miocene Langhian , roughly 15—14 mya , but again, the living species of Eudyptes are the product of a later radiation, stretching from about the late Tortonian Late Miocene, 8 mya to the end of the Pliocene.

Resum El crani de Sylviornismostra una articulació craniarostral completament mòbil, amb dos còndils articulars situats sobre el rostrum, el qual s'insereix al crani en dues superfícies articulars allargades. La presència de dos procesos rostropterigoideus sobre el basisfenoide del rostrum i la forma dels palatins permet confirmar que aquest gènere pertany als Galliformes, però les característiques altament derivades del crani justifiquen el seu emplaçament a una nova família, extingida, Sylviornithidae. El crani de Syluiornis està extremadament eixamplat i dorsoventralment aplanat, mentre que el rostrum és massís, lateralment comprimit, dorsoventralment aixecat i mostra unes cristae tomiales molt fondes. El rostrum exhibeix un ornament ossi gran. La mandíbula mostra una símfisi molt allargada, les branques laterals també presenten unes cristae tomiales fondes, i la part posterior de la mandíbula és molt gruixada. Es discuteix el possible origen i l'alimentació de Syluiornis. Paraules clau: Aves, Galliformes, Extinció, Holocè, Nova Caledònia.

This is not to say that the birds are dull on this tour, far from it. Some of the avian highlights included wonderfully jeweled hummingbirds like Wedge-tailed Hillstar and Red-tailed Comet; getting EXCELLENT views of 4 Tinamou species of, (a rare thing on all South American tours except this one); nearly 20 species of ducks, geese and swans, with highlights being repeated views of Torrent Ducks, the rare and oddly, parasitic Black-headed Duck, the beautiful Rosy-billed Pochard, and the mountain-dwelling Andean Goose. And we should not forget other popular bird features like 3 species of Flamingos on one lake, 11 species of Woodpeckers, including the hulking Cream-backed, colorful Yellow-fronted and minuscule Ochre-collared Piculet on the extension to Iguazu Falls.

  • Unusual Birds, Rarely Seen on Bird Stamps – the Screamers The
    Unusual birds, rarely seen on bird stamps – The Screamers The original intention of this series of articles was to highlight more unusual species of birds which typically are rarely found on bird stamps. For this entry, I have chosen the Screamers and unless you have visited South America even as a bird-watcher, you may not be familiar with the Anhimidae to signify their Latin family name. Simplistically they are considered to be a primitive relative of the Anseriformes or Ducks, Geese and Swans of the world. They are only found in the Neotropics, specifically South America, and are represented by just three species split in two genera. My research suggests there are only eight stamps illustrating the family; two of these are from countries (Bhutan and Grenadines of Grenada) where the family does not exist in the wild. Screamers are large stocky birds weighing up to 5 kg and superficially may look more like game birds than waterfowl given their relatively small chicken-like head and bill. Horned Screamer (Anhima cornuta) - Inhabits much of the Northern half of South America Screamers are usually found in wetland habitat and their fairly long and sturdy legs feature feet with long toes similar to Jacanas and are thus suitable for traversing marshy vegetation. Plumage is generally grey, brown or black with some white feathering on the head or wings; in the field the sexes appear similar though males tend to be a little larger than the females. Northern or Black-necked Screamer (Chauna chavaria)- Found only in Northern Colombia and North-western Venezuela I guess most people ask the obvious question as to their English vernacular name which relates to their calls that are extraordinarily loud and unmelodious.

    Field Guides Tour Report Colombia: Bogota, the Magdalena Valley, and Santa Marta 2014 Jan 11, 2014 to Jan 27, 2014 Jesse Fagan & Trevor Ellery For our tour description, itinerary, past triplists, dates, fees, and more, please VISIT OUR TOUR PAGE. A fun group and the most productive tour we have had to date! We observed 582 bird taxa in 17 days of birding, which beat our record last year of 555 by a bunch. As we fine-tune our birding route and learn more about Colombian birds things just seem to get better and better. This year we saw 33 endemics and loads of interesting subspecies and near-endemics. Highlights included a female Blue- billed Curassow, Kelp Gull(s) at Los Camerones (only the second time it has been recorded in Colombia), Dwarf and Pavonine cuckoos (the latter a lifer for Trevor!), a splendid Crested Owl, Sapphire- bellied Hummingbird (nice comparisons with Sapphire-throated), Double-banded Graytail in the coffee finca below Reinita Cielo Azul lodge, the always elusive Santa Marta Bush-Tyrant and antpitta, Turquoise Dacnis, and singing Yellow-bellied Siskin. It is really hard to pick just one from so many! I want to thank all of you again for a really enjoyable trip. Thanks also to Trevor Ellery, our local guide, and Giovanni, our driver, for their hard work. I look forward to seeing you again in the field. Bird On. --Jesse a.k.a.

  • A North American Stem Turaco, and the Complex Biogeographic History of Modern Birds Daniel J
    Field and Hsiang BMC Evolutionary Biology (2018) 18:102 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12862-018-1212-3 RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access A North American stem turaco, and the complex biogeographic history of modern birds Daniel J. Field1,2* and Allison Y. Hsiang2,3 Abstract Background: Earth’s lower latitudes boast the majority of extant avian species-level and higher-order diversity, with many deeply diverging clades restricted to vestiges of Gondwana. However, palaeontological analyses reveal that many avian crown clades with restricted extant distributions had stem group relatives in very different parts of the world. Results: Our phylogenetic analyses support the enigmatic fossil bird Foro panarium Olson 1992 from the early Eocene (Wasatchian) of Wyoming as a stem turaco (Neornithes: Pan-Musophagidae), a clade that is presently endemic to sub-Saharan Africa. Our analyses offer the first well-supported evidence for a stem musophagid (and therefore a useful fossil calibration for avian molecular divergence analyses), and reveal surprising new information on the early morphology and biogeography of this clade. Total-clade Musophagidae is identified as a potential participant in dispersal via the recently proposed ‘North American Gateway’ during the Palaeogene, and new biogeographic analyses illustrate the importance of the fossil record in revealing the complex historical biogeography of crown birds across geological timescales. Conclusions: In the Palaeogene, total-clade Musophagidae was distributed well outside the range of crown Musophagidae in the present day. This observation is consistent with similar biogeographic observations for numerous other modern bird clades, illustrating shortcomings of historical biogeographic analyses that do not incorporate information from the avian fossil record.

  • Waterfowl in the Prehistory of South Dakota
    Proceedings of the South Dakota Academy of Science, Vol. 89 (2010) 165 WATERFOWL IN THE PREHISTORY OF SOUTH DAKOTA David C. Parris1* and Kenneth F. Higgins2 1New Jersey State Museum P.O. Box 530 Trenton, NJ 08625-0530 2Wildlife and Fisheries South Dakota State University Brookings, SD 57007 *[email protected] ABSTRACT The paleontological and archaeological records of waterfowl have provided extensive evidence of a sixty million year prehistory of the Order Anseriformes. The distinctive shapes of the skulls and many of the limb bones have enabled recognition of this group in many paleofaunas of the Cenozoic Era, especially in North America. Abundant and useful, waterfowl have had a long association with human populations as well, especially in South Dakota. We compiled an extensive bibliography and examined a number of actual spec- imens in order to provide this review of waterfowl prehistory, focused on South Dakota. The earliest waterfowl, related to the Anseranatidae (Magpie Geese), are fossils from the earliest Paleocene. They are found in sediments laid down shortly after the extinction event that ended the reign of the dinosaurs. Later fossils attributed to waterfowl have been reported from Eocene sediments in Wyoming and from Oligocene, Miocene, and Pliocene rocks in South Dakota. One bone of a duck was recovered from the Late Pleistocene Lange-Ferguson Site (Shannon County), a mammoth kill attributed to early humans. Archaeological sites of the Missouri Basin dam salvage projects produced wa- terfowl bones, demonstrating that the Arikara and other cultures made use of at least thirteen species of swans, geese, and ducks.
