During extreme excitement the male will often roll his head on his back, or even bathe. I have not observed Preening-behind-the- wing, but W. von de Wall (pers. comm.) has observed a male per- form it toward a female. Finally, Wing-flapping appears to be used as a display by males, and it is especially conspicuous because each sequence of it is ended by a rapid stretching of both wings over the back in a posture that makes visible the white axillary feathers, which contrast sharply with the black underwing surface. Copulatory behavior. Precopulatory behavior consists of the male swimming up to the female, his neck stretched and his crest de- pressed, and making occasional Bill-dipping movements. He then suddenly begins to perform more vigorous Head-dipping movements, and the female, if receptive, performs similar Bill-dipping or Head- dipping movements.

  • EAAF Annual Report 2000
    ZIMBABWE Three EAAF members participated in two missions—in September and November 2000— to Zimbabwe as part of a collaborative arrangement between EAAF and the AMANI TRUST, a local human rights organization. In September, while seeking permission for exhumations in November, an alternative plan and a basis for future work were formulated in case permission was not forthcoming. During the second mission, EAAF continued to train a local team in forensic techniques, analyzed bone remains and participated in reburials and memorial services related to previous foren- sic missions. EAAF missions to Zimbabwe were funded by AMANI Tru s t , Zimbabwe; The Open Society Institute, USA; and, Misereor, Germany. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND: forces.

  • Simplified-ORL-2019-5.1-Final.Pdf
    The Ornithological Society of the Middle East, the Caucasus and Central Asia (OSME) The OSME Region List of Bird Taxa, Part F: Simplified OSME Region List (SORL) version 5.1 August 2019. (Aligns with ORL 5.1 July 2019) The simplified OSME list of preferred English & scientific names of all taxa recorded in the OSME region derives from the formal OSME Region List (ORL); see www.osme.org. It is not a taxonomic authority, but is intended to be a useful quick reference. It may be helpful in preparing informal checklists or writing articles on birds of the region. The taxonomic sequence & the scientific names in the SORL largely follow the International Ornithological Congress (IOC) List at www.worldbirdnames.org. We have departed from this source when new research has revealed new understanding or when we have decided that other English names are more appropriate for the OSME Region. The English names in the SORL include many informal names as denoted thus '…' in the ORL. The SORL uses subspecific names where useful; eg where diagnosable populations appear to be approaching species status or are species whose subspecies might be elevated to full species (indicated by round brackets in scientific names); for now, we remain neutral on the precise status - species or subspecies - of such taxa. Future research may amend or contradict our presentation of the SORL; such changes will be incorporated in succeeding SORL versions. This checklist was devised and prepared by AbdulRahman al Sirhan, Steve Preddy and Mike Blair on behalf of OSME Council. Please address any queries to [email protected].

  • Inter- and Intraspecific Relationships Between Egg Size and Clutch Size in Waterfowl
    INTER- AND INTRASPECIFIC RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN EGG SIZE AND CLUTCH SIZE IN WATERFOWL FRANK C. ROI-IWER • Departmentof Biology,University of Pennsylvania,Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19104 USA ABSTRACT.--Lack(1967, 1968a)proposed that clutch size of waterfowl and other birds with self-feedingyoung was limited by females'ability to produceeggs. Lack supported this egg- productionhypothesis by showing a stronginverse relationship between egg size and clutch size within and among speciesof waterfowl. A reanalysisusing updated data and more appropriatestatistics failed to confirm Lack's results.Grouping all the waterfowl produced a weak (r= = 0.13) inverserelationship between relative egg size and relative clutch size. This relationshipwas due mainly to a handful of ducksthat nest on oceanicislands. Analyses by tribes showed that relative egg size and relative clutch size were inversely related in only 2 of the 8 major tribes of waterfowl. Finally, intraspecificanalyses failed to reveal a trade-off between egg size and clutch size in Blue-winged Teal (Anasdiscors) and Northern Shovelers (A. clypeata).Similar intraspecificanalyses for 12 other waterfowl have failed to show the predictedinverse relationshipbetween egg size and clutch size. Theseresults suggest that the widely acceptedegg-production hypothesis may be considerablyoveremphasized. Re- ceived19 December1986, accepted 13 July 1987. A CENTRALquestion concerninglife-history and Canada Geese (Branta canadensis) have adaptationis how many young to have in any shown no relationship between survival of breeding event.
