The megapode action plan 1995 - 1999 halfway down the road. René W.R.J. Dekker, National Museum of Natural History, P.O. Box 9517, 2300 RA Leiden, The Netherlands. E-mail: [email protected] Key words: Megapodiidae; megapodes; action plan; conservation; current projects; IUCN threat cate- gories. Megapodes: an action plan for their conservation 1995 - 1999, a collaborative effort of members of the Megapode Specialist Group and the World Pheasant Association, was published in 1995. It summa- rizes the conservation status of all megapode taxa and indicates the needs of those species under threat. The Action Plan was intended to be a stimulus for conservation orientated studies and to gen- erate funds more easily. An overview is given of studies (1990 - present) in which these threatened taxa were involved. The status of these and other taxa are reassessed according to the finalized IUCN threat categories (which supercede the Mace-Lande threat categories originally used in the Action Plan) as a preparation for the megapode action plan 2000 - 2004. Introduction Megapodes: an action plan for their conservation 1995 - 1999 (Dekker & McGowan, 1995) was published by the Species Survival Commission (SSC) of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) in 1995 following a Conservation Assessment Management Plan (CAMP) meeting on galliforms held in Antwerp, Bel- gium, in February 1993. The megapode action plan, soon followed by action plans for partridges, quails, francolins, snowcocks and guineafowl (McGowan et al., 1995) and pheasants (McGowan & Garson, 1995), was the first avian action plan published by the IUCN in their series of conservation action plans.

  • Disaggregation of Bird Families Listed on Cms Appendix Ii
    Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals 2nd Meeting of the Sessional Committee of the CMS Scientific Council (ScC-SC2) Bonn, Germany, 10 – 14 July 2017 UNEP/CMS/ScC-SC2/Inf.3 DISAGGREGATION OF BIRD FAMILIES LISTED ON CMS APPENDIX II (Prepared by the Appointed Councillors for Birds) Summary: The first meeting of the Sessional Committee of the Scientific Council identified the adoption of a new standard reference for avian taxonomy as an opportunity to disaggregate the higher-level taxa listed on Appendix II and to identify those that are considered to be migratory species and that have an unfavourable conservation status. The current paper presents an initial analysis of the higher-level disaggregation using the Handbook of the Birds of the World/BirdLife International Illustrated Checklist of the Birds of the World Volumes 1 and 2 taxonomy, and identifies the challenges in completing the analysis to identify all of the migratory species and the corresponding Range States. The document has been prepared by the COP Appointed Scientific Councilors for Birds. This is a supplementary paper to COP document UNEP/CMS/COP12/Doc.25.3 on Taxonomy and Nomenclature UNEP/CMS/ScC-Sc2/Inf.3 DISAGGREGATION OF BIRD FAMILIES LISTED ON CMS APPENDIX II 1. Through Resolution 11.19, the Conference of Parties adopted as the standard reference for bird taxonomy and nomenclature for Non-Passerine species the Handbook of the Birds of the World/BirdLife International Illustrated Checklist of the Birds of the World, Volume 1: Non-Passerines, by Josep del Hoyo and Nigel J. Collar (2014); 2.

  • Management and Breeding of Birds of Paradise (Family Paradisaeidae) at the Al Wabra Wildlife Preservation
    Management and breeding of Birds of Paradise (family Paradisaeidae) at the Al Wabra Wildlife Preservation. By Richard Switzer Bird Curator, Al Wabra Wildlife Preservation. Presentation for Aviary Congress Singapore, November 2008 Introduction to Birds of Paradise in the Wild Taxonomy The family Paradisaeidae is in the order Passeriformes. In the past decade since the publication of Frith and Beehler (1998), the taxonomy of the family Paradisaeidae has been re-evaluated considerably. Frith and Beehler (1998) listed 42 species in 17 genera. However, the monotypic genus Macgregoria (MacGregor’s Bird of Paradise) has been re-classified in the family Meliphagidae (Honeyeaters). Similarly, 3 species in 2 genera (Cnemophilus and Loboparadisea) – formerly described as the “Wide-gaped Birds of Paradise” – have been re-classified as members of the family Melanocharitidae (Berrypeckers and Longbills) (Cracraft and Feinstein 2000). Additionally the two genera of Sicklebills (Epimachus and Drepanornis) are now considered to be combined as the one genus Epimachus. These changes reduce the total number of genera in the family Paradisaeidae to 13. However, despite the elimination of the 4 species mentioned above, 3 species have been newly described – Berlepsch's Parotia (P. berlepschi), Eastern or Helen’s Parotia (P. helenae) and the Eastern or Growling Riflebird (P. intercedens). The Berlepsch’s Parotia was once considered to be a subspecies of the Carola's Parotia. It was previously known only from four female specimens, discovered in 1985. It was rediscovered during a Conservation International expedition in 2005 and was photographed for the first time. The Eastern Parotia, also known as Helena's Parotia, is sometimes considered to be a subspecies of Lawes's Parotia, but differs in the male’s frontal crest and the female's dorsal plumage colours.

Estes, University of California, Santa Cruz, CA, and approved March 9, 2016 (received for review November 19, 2015) Birds are prolific colonists of islands, where they readily evolve distinct predators (18). Alternatively, flightlessness may represent an ex- forms. Identifying predictable, directional patterns of evolutionary treme state of a continuum of morphological variation that reflects change in island birds, however, has proved challenging. The “island locomotory requirements for survival and reproduction. Across a rule” predicts that island species evolve toward intermediate sizes, but continuum of insularity, from continents to small islands, biotic its general applicability to birds is questionable. However, convergent communities exhibit gradients of species diversity (21) and corre- evolution has clearly occurred in the island bird lineages that have sponding ecological pressures (22). If flightlessness is illustrative of undergone transitions to secondary flightlessness, a process involving island bird evolution in general, reductions in predation pressure drastic reduction of the flight muscles and enlargement of the hin- associated with increased insularity should trigger incremental shifts dlimbs. Here, we investigated whether volant island bird populations in energy allocation from the forelimbs to the hindlimbs.

  • West Papua – Birds-Of-Paradise and Endemics of the Arfaks and Waigeo
    INDONESIA: WEST PAPUA – BIRDS-OF-PARADISE AND ENDEMICS OF THE ARFAKS AND WAIGEO 03 – 14 AUGUST 2022 03 – 14 AUGUST 2023 Wilson’s Bird-of-paradise is often considered one of the best-looking birds in the world! www.birdingecotours.com [email protected] 2 | ITINERARY Indonesia: West Papua – Arfak and Waigeo New Guinea is a geographic rather than political term that refers to the main island in the region. The western half of the island of New Guinea comprises the Indonesian provinces of West Papua (Papua Barat) and Papua, collectively once called West Irian or Irian Jaya; the eastern half of the main island of New Guinea comprises the country of Papua New Guinea. We will be based in West Papua for this exhilarating, small-group birding adventure. Aside from the large landmass of New Guinea, the New Guinea region includes numerous small islands (some part of Indonesia and others part of Papua New Guinea), and we will visit one of these areas: Waigeo, part of the Raja Ampat Archipelago in West Papua (also known as the Northwestern Islands). Approximately 680 bird species have been recorded from West Papua, from slightly more than 700 for the whole New Guinea region. Some 550 species are considered breeding residents, with 279 New Guinea endemics (found in Indonesia and/or Papua New Guinea) and at least an additional 42 endemics found only in West Papua. There are also over 115 Palearctic and Australian migrant species and a range of seabirds which spend some of their time in West Papua. This tour will begin in the town of Manokwari, situated on the north-eastern tip of West Papua's Bird's Head (or Vogelkop) Peninsula where we could get our tour started with the gorgeous Lesser Bird-of-paradise, this area is usually great for Blyth’s Hornbill and numerous fruit doves.

Bellatreche M., et Boubaker Z., 199.5 - Premières données sur le comportement alimentaire de la Sittelle kabyle (Sitta ledanti) en période de reproduction. Ann. &-on. I.N.A., Vol.16, N”I et 2, pp. 35 - 48 Résumé : Notre travail a pour objectif principal la connaissance de certains aspects de l’écologie de la Sittelle kabyle Sitta ledanti Vielliard, espèce endémique d’Algérie, propre à la Kabylie des Babors. L’intérêt de l’étude de cette espèce forestière, sur le plan biologique, écologique et éthologique, est d’une grande importance. En effet, cette espèce est un témoin vivant de toute une faune avienne qui a survécu aux vicissitudes climatiques qu’a connue la région méditerranéenne depuis le tertiaire. Parmi les différents aspects de la biologie de Sitta ledanti, son comportement alimentaire en période de reproduction a retenu notre attention depuis 1991. C’est dans les chênaies de la forêt domaniale de Guerrouch, à l’intérieur des limites du Parc National de Taza, que nous avons entrepris nos recherches, grâce à l’expérimentation d’une méthodologie que nous avons adaptée spécialement à cette espèce. Comme premiers résultats, intéressants, il faut souligner la mise en évidence de certains aspects de l’écologie de Sitta ledanti, notamment ses préférences trophiques, ainsi que sa technique d’acquisition de la nourriture durant sa quête alimentaire. La technique la plus utilisée, qui consiste à glaner les proies sur les branches et les troncs, semble même être une caractéristique spéciale à la Sittelle kabyle, puisque cette technique est rarement utilisée par les deux autres espèces de sittelles méditerranéennes, la Sittelle de corse Sitta whiteheadi et la Sittelle de kruper Sitta kruperi.
