  • Use of Field Recorded Sounds in the Assessment of Forest Birds in Palawan, Philippines ______Required in the Field [19]
    Asia Pacific Journal of Multidisciplinary Research, Vol. 7, No. 2, May, 2019 _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Asia Pacific Journal of Use of Field Recorded Sounds in the Multidisciplinary Research Assessment of Forest Birds in Palawan, Vol. 7 No.2, 24-31 May 2019 Philippines P-ISSN 2350-7756 E-ISSN 2350-8442 Alejandro A. Bernardo Jr. www.apjmr.com College of Arts and Sciences, Western Philippines University, CHED Recognized Journal Aborlan, Palawan, Philippines ASEAN Citation Index [email protected] Date Received: August 3, 2018; Date Revised: February 8, 2019 Abstract -The uses of bioacoustics in biological applications are getting popular in research communities. Among such application is the use of sound recordings in avifaunal researches. This research explored the possibility of using the sound recording in the assessment of forest birds in Palawan by comparing it in widely used Point Count Method (PCM). To compare the two methods, a simultaneous point count and sound recording surveys from February to November 2017 in the forested slopes of Victoria-Anipahan Mountain in Aborlan, Palawan were conducted. The Sound Recording Method (SRM) listed slightly lower species richness than the PCM, but the difference in the mean number of species was not significant (F1,49=1.05, p > 0.05). The SRM was found to be biased towards noisy and loud calling bird species but it failed to detect the silent and rarely calling species. SRM was also equally sensitive as compared to PCM in detecting endemic and high conservation priority species. Because of these, it was recognized that SRM could be used as one of the alternative methods in forest bird assessment particularly if the concern is avifaunal species richness.

  • Ultimate Philippines
    The bizarre-looking Philippine Frogmouth. Check those eyes! (Dani Lopez-Velasco). ULTIMATE PHILIPPINES 14 JANUARY – 4/10/17 FEBRUARY 2017 LEADER: DANI LOPEZ-VELASCO This year´s Birdquest “Ultimate Philippines” tour comprised of the main tour and two post-tour extensions, resulting in a five-week endemics bonanza. The first three weeks focused on the better-known islands of Luzon, Palawan and Mindanao, and here we had cracking views of some of those mind-blowing, world´s must-see birds, including Philippine Eagle, Palawan Peacock-Pheasant, Wattled Broadbill and Azure- breasted Pitta, amongst many other endemics. The first extension took us to the central Visayas where exciting endemics such as the stunning Yellow-faced Flameback, the endangered Negros Striped Babbler or the recently described Cebu Hawk-Owl were seen well, and we finished with a trip to Mindoro and remote Northern Luzon, where Scarlet-collared Flowerpecker and Whiskered Pitta delighted us. 1 BirdQuest Tour Report: Ultimate Philippines www.birdquest-tours.com Our success rate with the endemics– the ones you come to the Philippines for- was overall very good, and highlights included no less than 14 species of owl recorded, including superb views of Luzon Scops Owl, 12 species of beautiful kingfishers, including Hombron´s (Blue-capped Wood) and Spotted Wood, 5 endemic racket-tails and 9 species of woodpeckers, including all 5 flamebacks. The once almost impossible Philippine Eagle-Owl showed brilliantly near Manila, odd looking Philippine and Palawan Frogmouths gave the best possible views, impressive Rufous and Writhed Hornbills (amongst 8 species of endemic hornbills) delighted us, and both Scale-feathered and Rough-crested (Red-c) Malkohas proved easy to see.

  • Easy Philippines February 7-24, 2020
    EASY PHILIPPINES FEBRUARY 7-24, 2020 MINDANAO PRE-TRIP JANUARY 30-FEBRUARY 8, 2020 ©2019 The Negros Scops-Owl, one of many beautiful Philippine endemic night birds © Dion Hobcroft The geographic location and geological history of this amazing country has conspired to create a suite of fascinating endemic species—birds, mammals, reptiles and plants. Wedged between China, Japan, Malaysia and Indonesia and consisting of over 7,000 islands, successive invasions from different biogeographic zones and a complex geography in the Philippines have led to an adaptive radiation of a myriad of species. Many species in the Philippines have been subject to taxonomic review in recent years with a huge amount of splitting taking place. Of the almost 600 bird species in the islands, an extraordinary 250 or more species are endemic or very close to it. Putting it simply, with names such as Scale-feathered Malkoha, Chocolate Boobook, Visayan Hornbill and Palawan Easy Philippines & Mindanao Pre-trip, Page 2 Peacock-Pheasant, the birds of the Philippines are without doubt some of the most exciting in the world! Birding near Manila gives us an excellent introduction to the birds of Luzon. We will explore four major sites—Mount Makiling, Candaba Marshes, La Mesa Ecopark and Subic Bay—which are home to some 50 endemics. Philippine Duck, Spotted Buttonquail, Philippine Hawk-Eagle, Philippine Serpent-Eagle, Philippine Falconet, Plain Bush-hen, Philippine Swamphen, Luzon Bleeding-Heart, White-eared Brown-dove, Black-chinned Fruit-Dove, Philippine Green-Pigeon,

  • Field Guides Birding Tours: Philippines
    Field Guides Tour Report PHILIPPINES Feb 26, 2011 to Mar 20, 2011 Dave Stejskal & Mark Villa I really enjoyed getting back to the Philippines again this year with our group. We had some fantastic birding moments together on this rather demanding and sometimes challenging trip, even to the very end. Every time I come back to these islands, I worry about how much more habitat has been lost in the intervening time since my last visit. As usual, lots had been lost, but much good habitat still remains, albeit more difficult to access. Despite the habitat loss, we were able to find, and to see very, very well, an impressive number of Philippine endemic birds. Perhaps first and foremost of these was the Great Philippine Eagle on Mt. Kitanglad. We had a couple of good looks, though they were a little distant. Still, to see this critically endangered eagle at all is a marvelous achievement! Other highlights of this three-week tour are many, but I feel compelled to mention: --that gorgeous male Palawan Peacock-Pheasant at St. Paul's NP --our close flyby looks at Bukidnon Woodcock Azure-breasted Pitta...a beauty seen well at --a flock of seven Philippine Cockatoos near Sabang PICOP (Photo by guide Dave Stejskal) --those bizarre Scale-feathered and Red-crested malkohas --our outstanding Luzon Scops-Owl --the delightful Silvery Kingfisher and the scarce Blue-capped Kingfishers at PICOP on Mindanao --all of those huge Rufous Hornbills --our surprise trio of Wattled Broadbills at dusk --our skulky Russet Bush-Warbler --and those strange Apo Mynas.

  • Systematic Notes on Asian Birds. 49 a Preliminary Review of the Aegithalidae, Remizidae and Paridae1
    Systematic notes on Asian birds. 49 A preliminary review of the Aegithalidae, Remizidae and Paridae1 S. Eck † & J. Martens Eck, S. & J. Martens. Systematic notes on Asian birds. 49. A preliminary review of the Aegithalidae, Remi- zidae and Paridae. Zool. Med. Leiden 80-5 (1), 21.xii.2006: 1-63, fi gs. 1-6, Plates I-III.— ISSN 0024-0672. Siegfried Eck †, formerly Staatliche Sammlungen für Naturkunde Dresden, Museum für Tierkunde, Königsbrücker Landstrasse 159, D-01109 Dresden, Germany. Jochen Martens, Institut für Zoologie, Johannes Gutenberg-Universität, D-55099 Mainz, Germany (e-mail: [email protected]). Key words: Paridae; Aegithalidae; Remizidae; species limits; systematics; taxonomy; eastern Palaearctic region; Indo-Malayan region; morphology; bioacoustics; molecular genetics; secondary contacts; hy- bridisation; introgression. Proposed recent taxonomic changes in Paridae, Aegithalidae, and Remizidae are reviewed within the geographic scope of this series and their reliability is discussed in terms of the Biological Species Concept with respect to secondary contacts, hybridization, introgression, bioacoustics, and molecular genetics. Certain previously unpublished data are added to support the taxonomic decisions. Introduction This review benefi ts from the excellent treatment of these three passerine families in the monograph by Harrap (1996) 2, preceded by detailed work by Vaurie (1957a, b) on the Palearctic species set upon which Snow (1967) based his treatment for Peters’s Checklist of the Birds of the World. Only after the publication of Harrap (op. cit.) has molecular ge- netics begun to furnish information on parid systematics and taxonomy. This has not only given insights into population structure and population genetics of various taxa, but also helped understanding of species evolution and species limits.
