  • Notes on the Breeding Biology of the White-Throated Swift in Southern California
    Bull. Southern California Acad. Sci. 109(2), 2010, pp. 23–36 E Southern California Academy of Sciences, 2010 Notes on the Breeding Biology of the White-Throated Swift in Southern California Charles T. Collins Department of Biological Sciences, California State University, Long Beach, CA 90840, [email protected] Abstract.—Reproductive activities of White-throated Swifts (Aeronautes saxatalis) were examined from 1997 to 2006 at two nest sites in a human-made structure in southern California. The start of egg-laying was from 27 April to 30 May and hatching of the first chick ranged from 21 May to 23 June; all chicks had fledged by late July, 42–43 days after hatching. The annual molt of adults began in early June and broadly overlapped with the chick-rearing period. Year to year adult survival was minimally 73.9% and nesting pairs showed strong mate and nest site fidelity; pairs reused nests up to five consecutive years. The composition of the arthropod food (insects and spiders) brought to nestlings was different in the periods 1997–2000 and 2001–2004 but prey size was similar in both periods. The onset of breeding was more varied from year to year than the start of the primary feather molt suggesting differing environmental stimuli for these important components of the annual cycle. The White-throated Swift (Aeronautes saxatalis) is a widespread and familiar element of the southern California avifauna. Its staccato chattering vocalization often announces its presence, searching for aerial prey high overhead, long before visual contact is made. In recent decades, this swift has utilized human-made structures as buildings, bridges and highway overpasses for nesting and roosting (Collins and Johnson 1982; Ryan and Collins 2000).

  • Checklists of Crustacea Decapoda from the Canary and Cape Verde Islands, with an Assessment of Macaronesian and Cape Verde Biogeographic Marine Ecoregions
    Zootaxa 4413 (3): 401–448 ISSN 1175-5326 (print edition) http://www.mapress.com/j/zt/ Article ZOOTAXA Copyright © 2018 Magnolia Press ISSN 1175-5334 (online edition) https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.4413.3.1 http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:2DF9255A-7C42-42DA-9F48-2BAA6DCEED7E Checklists of Crustacea Decapoda from the Canary and Cape Verde Islands, with an assessment of Macaronesian and Cape Verde biogeographic marine ecoregions JOSÉ A. GONZÁLEZ University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, i-UNAT, Campus de Tafira, 35017 Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain. E-mail: [email protected]. ORCID iD: 0000-0001-8584-6731. Abstract The complete list of Canarian marine decapods (last update by González & Quiles 2003, popular book) currently com- prises 374 species/subspecies, grouped in 198 genera and 82 families; whereas the Cape Verdean marine decapods (now fully listed for the first time) are represented by 343 species/subspecies with 201 genera and 80 families. Due to changing environmental conditions, in the last decades many subtropical/tropical taxa have reached the coasts of the Canary Islands. Comparing the carcinofaunal composition and their biogeographic components between the Canary and Cape Verde ar- chipelagos would aid in: validating the appropriateness in separating both archipelagos into different ecoregions (Spalding et al. 2007), and understanding faunal movements between areas of benthic habitat. The consistency of both ecoregions is here compared and validated by assembling their decapod crustacean checklists, analysing their taxa composition, gath- ering their bathymetric data, and comparing their biogeographic patterns. Four main evidences (i.e. different taxa; diver- gent taxa composition; different composition of biogeographic patterns; different endemicity rates) support that separation, especially in coastal benthic decapods; and these parametres combined would be used as a valuable tool at comparing biotas from oceanic archipelagos.

  • Rainfall and Flooding in Coastal Tourist Areas of the Canary Islands (Spain)

As the origin of flood events is usually associated with intense precipitation episodes, this study considers the general rainfall characteristics of tourist resorts in two islands of the Canary Archipelago (Spain). Days of intense rainfall were determined using the 99th percentile (99p) of 8 daily precipitation data series. In addition, the weather types that generated these episodes were identified, the best-fitting distribution functions were determined to allow calculation of probable maximum daily precipitation for different return periods, and the territorial and economic consequences of flood events were analysed. The results show highly irregular rainfall, with 99p values ranging 50–80 mm. The weather types associated with 49 days of flooding events were predominantly cyclonic and hybrid cyclonic. The Log Pearson III distribution function best fitted the data series, with a strong likelihood in a 100-year return period of rainfall exceeding 100 mm in a 24 h period.

  • Systematic List of the Birds

It is more immediately linked, however, with a collecting trip undertaken during part of the spring and summer of 1922 by Mr. Jos6 Gongalves Correia, of New Bedford, Mass., whose specimens, numbering some three hundred skins of twenty species, have all been received by The American Museum of Natural History. As Correia's predominant object was to acquire adequate series of water birds, the terrestrial species of the Cape Verdes are but scantily represented in his collection, which is supplemented, to a certain extent, by a small number of specimens obtained by the writer in 1912. Notwithstanding the relatively limited material available for study, it has been thought advisable to include within this paper a systematic list of all the birds known from the Cape Verde Islands. The latest faunal contribution is that of Salvadori (1899). Not only have addi- tions to the avifauna been made since that date, but also forms new to science, including several endemic races, have been described. More- over, numerous nomenclatural changes made necessary because of the researches of Hartert ('V6gel der palaarktischen Fauna,' 1910-22) and other workers increase the need for a new list.

  • FEEDING ECOLOGY of the CAPE VERDEAN SHEARWATER (Calonectris Edwardsii) POPULATION of RASO ISLET, CAPE VERDE (P1-B-11)
    2nd World Seabird Conference “Seabirds: Global Ocean Sentinels” 26-30 October 2015 Cape Town, South Africa FEEDING ECOLOGY OF THE CAPE VERDEAN SHEARWATER (Calonectris edwardsii) POPULATION OF RASO ISLET, CAPE VERDE (P1-B-11) Isabel Rodrigues1,3; Nuno Oliveira 2 Rui Freitas 3 Tommy Melo1 Pedro Geraldes 2 1Biosfera I, Cabo Verde, www.biosfera1.com; 2SPEA, Portugal, www.spea.pt, 3 Universidade de Cabo Verde, www.unicv.edu.cv Raso Islet with only 5.76 km2, is an area of great importance to Cape Verdean Shearwaters as we find one of the largest colonies of the species there. The great biological value of this islet is even more remarkable for hosting very large populations of other species, such as the Brown Booby, Red-billed Tropicalbird and even the endemic Raso Lark, among others. Along with Branco Islet, also included in the Nature Reserve, both populations constitute about 75% of the nesting population of the Cape Verde islands (Fig. 1). The Cape Verde Shearwater (Procellariiformes, Procellariidae) (Fig. 2) is an endemic species of Cape Verde and has recently been separated from Calonectris diomedea species, due to their morphological and genetic differences, and pelagic habits; feeding mostly on the open sea (Hazevoet 1995). METHODOLOGY RESULTS The samples were collected between 14 October and 12 November, in two In total, 80 regurgitations from juvenile Cape Verde Shearwaters were collected; consecutive years, 2012 and 2013. We randomly obtained 80 samples of juvenile including 50 individuals sampled in 2012, and 30 individuals in 2013. regurgitation. Each juvenile was sampled only once. During or after handling, Based on knowledge of local fish populations and according to the current juveniles tend to regurgitate stomach contents without the need to resort to the description, the identified prey of Cape Verde shearwaters belonged to 5 species induced regurgitation method.

  • Visual Adaptations of Diurnal and Nocturnal Raptors
    Seminars in Cell and Developmental Biology 106 (2020) 116–126 Contents lists available at ScienceDirect Seminars in Cell & Developmental Biology journal homepage: www.elsevier.com/locate/semcdb Review Visual adaptations of diurnal and nocturnal raptors T Simon Potiera, Mindaugas Mitkusb, Almut Kelbera,* a Lund Vision Group, Department of Biology, Lund University, Sölvegatan 34, S-22362 Lund, Sweden b Institute of Biosciences, Life Sciences Center, Vilnius University, Saulėtekio Av 7, LT-10257 Vilnius, Lithuania HIGHLIGHTS • Raptors have large eyes allowing for high absolute sensitivity in nocturnal and high acuity in diurnal species. • Diurnal hunters have a deep central and a shallow temporal fovea, scavengers only a central and owls only a temporal fovea. • The spatial resolution of some large raptor species is the highest known among animals, but differs highly among species. • Visual fields of raptors reflect foraging strategies and depend on the divergence of optical axes and on headstructures • More comparative studies on raptor retinae (preferably with non-invasive methods) and on visual pathways are desirable. ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Keywords: Raptors have always fascinated mankind, owls for their highly sensitive vision, and eagles for their high visual Pecten acuity. We summarize what is presently known about the eyes as well as the visual abilities of these birds, and Fovea point out knowledge gaps. We discuss visual fields, eye movements, accommodation, ocular media transmit- Resolution tance, spectral sensitivity, retinal anatomy and what is known about visual pathways. The specific adaptations of Sensitivity owls to dim-light vision include large corneal diameters compared to axial (and focal) length, a rod-dominated Visual field retina and low spatial and temporal resolution of vision.
