Luna Lodge Bird List Luna Lodge Bird List This is a list of the bird species found on the Luna Lodge property, some areas of Corcovado National Park and also around the Pejeperrito lagoon. The birds are listed below with a numerical code for each month of the year as follows: 1 - Very common and/or easily seen (should be seen daily, often numerous) 2 - Common (should be seen most days) 3 - Fairly common (not as regular and/or as easy to see as 1 & 2) 4 - Uncommon and/or difficult to see because of skulking (hiding) habits 5 - Rare and/or difficult to see 6 - Extremely rare (only a few records, or very scarce) If you find a bird that is not on this list, feel free to let us know.

  • (Pycnonotidae: Andropadus) Supports a Montane Speciation Model
    Recent diversi¢cation in African greenbuls (Pycnonotidae: Andropadus) supports a montane speciation model MICHAEL S. ROY Zoological Institute, University of Copenhagen, Universitetsparken 15, DK 2100, Denmark SUMMARY It is generally accepted that accentuated global climatic cycles since the Plio-Pleistocene (2.8 Ma ago) have caused the intermittent fragmentation of forest regions into isolated refugia thereby providing a mechanism for speciation of tropical forest biota contained within them. However, it has been assumed that this mechanism had its greatest e¡ect in the species rich lowland regions. Contrary evidence from molecular studies of African and South American forest birds suggests that areas of recent intensive speciation, where mostly new lineages are clustered, occur in discrete tropical montane regions, while lowland regions contain mostly old species. Two predictions arise from this ¢nding. First, a species phylogeny of an avian group, represented in both lowland and montane habitats, should be ordered such that montane forms are represented by the most derived characters. Second, montane speciation events should predominate within the past 2.8 Ma. In order to test this model I have investigated the evolutionary history of the recently radiated African greenbuls (genus Andropadus), using a molecular approach. This analysis ¢nds that montane species are a derived monophyletic group when compared to lowland species of the same genus and recent speciation events (within the Plio-Pleistocene) have exclusively occurred in montane regions. These data support the view that montane regions have acted as centres of speciation during recent climatic instability. 1. I NTRODUCTION biodiversity of tropical lowland forests was the `refuge theory' (Ha¡er 1969, 1974; Diamond & Hamilton The most signi¢cant geological changes that a¡ected 1980; Mayr & O'Hara 1986; Crowe & Crowe 1982; re- the biota of Africa during the Tertiary were: (i) a views in Prance 1982; Whitmore & Prance 1987).

  • Long-Term Changes in the Bird Community of Palenque, Chiapas, in Response to Rainforest Loss
    Biodivers Conserv (2010) 19:21–36 DOI 10.1007/s10531-009-9698-z ORIGINAL PAPER Long-term changes in the bird community of Palenque, Chiapas, in response to rainforest loss Michael A. Patten Æ He´ctor Go´mez de Silva Æ Brenda D. Smith-Patten Received: 18 March 2008 / Accepted: 22 July 2009 / Published online: 6 August 2009 Ó Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2009 Abstract With increased human populations and subsequent pressure to develop or farm land, the rate of fragmentation of tropical rainforests has accelerated in the past several decades. How native organisms respond to such fragmentation has been the subject of intense study in temperate ecosystems and at several tropical sites in Central and South America, but there has been little study of this phenomenon in Mexico, the country bridging the Neotropics and temperate North America. A reason for this neglect is an apparent lack of long-term data; however, such data can be obtained from ‘‘non-tradi- tional’’ sources, such as birders and tour leaders. We make innovative use of such data, combining them with more traditional data (e.g., museum specimens) to create a record of occurrence for Palenque, Mexico, from 1900 to 2009, including a near-continuous pres- ence–absence record since 1970. We analyzed these data using logistic regression and, importantly, recent statistical advances expressly for sighting records. As recently as the 1960s Palenque’s forest was contiguous with that of Selva Lacandona to the east, but the protected area surrounding the famous ruins is now a forested island. As a result, various species formerly known from the site have disappeared, including species both large (Crax rubra, Penelope purpurascens, and Ara macao) and small (Notharchus hyperrhynchos, Malacoptila panamensis, Microrhopias quixensis, and Pachyramphus cinnamomeus).

  • Toucans, and Not Only a First Breeding of Each, Toucans but Several Generations - a Testament to His Avicultural Gift
    one, but several species of toucans, and not only a First Breeding of each, Toucans but several generations - a testament to his avicultural gift. in Aviculture at the Millennium Mr. Todd did more than break new ground (which he subsequently and by Jerry Jennings, Fallbrook, CA notably repeated with penguins at Sea World), he created a "cook book" recipe for the repetition ofhis feat for all who would simply follow directions. Interpretive renditions of his opus gen­ erally would not suffice - simply fol­ low the steps. A little compatibility here, a little nest log there, etc., and a great result would be forthcoming. Few have followed in those illustri­ ous footsteps, but I had to give it a try. I never was a good cook, so this was a difficult task, or so I thought. Needless to say, it was surprisingly eas­ ier to do than expected, and today Emerald Forest Bird Gardens has become a center for the reproduction of many species of toucans, toucanets, and aracaris. Toucans are not well established in aviculture today in spite of the great introduction pioneered by Todd in the mid sixties. Only a couple of species, Red-billed Toucan oUJned by the author. the Green Aracari and the Emerald Toucanet could be considered "safe" Channel-billed Toucan in the collection ofthe alltbor. oucans are as familiar as breakfast cereal at the super­ market, as magnificent as a clown, and as exotic as the mystical places of our fantasies. Everyone seems to know who "Fruit Loops" is, and understands that this silly looking creature has, at the very least, a good sense of humor.

    MOLECULAR PHYLOGENETICS AND EVOLUTION Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution 23 (2002) 499–512 www.academicpress.com Systematic relationships and biogeography of the tracheophone suboscines (Aves: Passeriformes) Martin Irestedt,a,b,* Jon Fjeldsaa,c Ulf S. Johansson,a,b and Per G.P. Ericsona a Department of Vertebrate Zoology and Molecular Systematics Laboratory, Swedish Museum of Natural History, P.O. Box 50007, SE-104 05 Stockholm, Sweden b Department of Zoology, University of Stockholm, SE-106 91 Stockholm, Sweden c Zoological Museum, University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark Received 29 August 2001; received in revised form 17 January 2002 Abstract Based on their highly specialized ‘‘tracheophone’’ syrinx, the avian families Furnariidae (ovenbirds), Dendrocolaptidae (woodcreepers), Formicariidae (ground antbirds), Thamnophilidae (typical antbirds), Rhinocryptidae (tapaculos), and Conop- ophagidae (gnateaters) have long been recognized to constitute a monophyletic group of suboscine passerines. However, the monophyly of these families have been contested and their interrelationships are poorly understood, and this constrains the pos- sibilities for interpreting adaptive tendencies in this very diverse group. In this study we present a higher-level phylogeny and classification for the tracheophone birds based on phylogenetic analyses of sequence data obtained from 32 ingroup taxa. Both mitochondrial (cytochrome b) and nuclear genes (c-myc, RAG-1, and myoglobin) have been sequenced, and more than 3000 bp were subjected to parsimony and maximum-likelihood analyses. The phylogenetic signals in the mitochondrial and nuclear genes were compared and found to be very similar. The results from the analysis of the combined dataset (all genes, but with transitions at third codon positions in the cytochrome b excluded) partly corroborate previous phylogenetic hypotheses, but several novel arrangements were also suggested.

  • Environmental Sensitivity Index Guidelines Version 2.0
    NOAA Technical Memorandum NOS ORCA 115 Environmental Sensitivity Index Guidelines Version 2.0 October 1997 Seattle, Washington noaa NATIONAL OCEANIC AND ATMOSPHERIC ADMINISTRATION National Ocean Service Office of Ocean Resources Conservation and Assessment National Ocean Service National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration U.S. Department of Commerce The Office of Ocean Resources Conservation and Assessment (ORCA) provides decisionmakers comprehensive, scientific information on characteristics of the oceans, coastal areas, and estuaries of the United States of America. The information ranges from strategic, national assessments of coastal and estuarine environmental quality to real-time information for navigation or hazardous materials spill response. Through its National Status and Trends (NS&T) Program, ORCA uses uniform techniques to monitor toxic chemical contamination of bottom-feeding fish, mussels and oysters, and sediments at about 300 locations throughout the United States. A related NS&T Program of directed research examines the relationships between contaminant exposure and indicators of biological responses in fish and shellfish. Through the Hazardous Materials Response and Assessment Division (HAZMAT) Scientific Support Coordination program, ORCA provides critical scientific support for planning and responding to spills of oil or hazardous materials into coastal environments. Technical guidance includes spill trajectory predictions, chemical hazard analyses, and assessments of the sensitivity of marine and estuarine environments to spills. To fulfill the responsibilities of the Secretary of Commerce as a trustee for living marine resources, HAZMAT’s Coastal Resource Coordination program provides technical support to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency during all phases of the remedial process to protect the environment and restore natural resources at hundreds of waste sites each year.
