  • 21 Sep 2018 Lists of Victims and Hosts of the Parasitic
    version: 21 Sep 2018 Lists of victims and hosts of the parasitic cowbirds (Molothrus). Peter E. Lowther, Field Museum Brood parasitism is an awkward term to describe an interaction between two species in which, as in predator-prey relationships, one species gains at the expense of the other. Brood parasites "prey" upon parental care. Victimized species usually have reduced breeding success, partly because of the additional cost of caring for alien eggs and young, and partly because of the behavior of brood parasites (both adults and young) which may directly and adversely affect the survival of the victim's own eggs or young. About 1% of all bird species, among 7 families, are brood parasites. The 5 species of brood parasitic “cowbirds” are currently all treated as members of the genus Molothrus. Host selection is an active process. Not all species co-occurring with brood parasites are equally likely to be selected nor are they of equal quality as hosts. Rather, to varying degrees, brood parasites are specialized for certain categories of hosts. Brood parasites may rely on a single host species to rear their young or may distribute their eggs among many species, seemingly without regard to any characteristics of potential hosts. Lists of species are not the best means to describe interactions between a brood parasitic species and its hosts. Such lists do not necessarily reflect the taxonomy used by the brood parasites themselves nor do they accurately reflect the complex interactions within bird communities (see Ortega 1998: 183-184). Host lists do, however, offer some insight into the process of host selection and do emphasize the wide variety of features than can impact on host selection.

  • Subic Bay, Zamboanga Watershed and the Islands of Pandan, Calayan
    SEVERAL REMOTE PHILIPPINE BIRDING SITES March and April 2010 By George Wagner at [email protected] SITES FEATURED Subic Bay, Luzon Pandan Island, Palawan Calayan Island, Luzon Zamboanga Watershed, Mindanao Camiguin Sur, Mindanao INTRODUCTION In March and April of 2010, I revisited the Philippines in the hope of seeing some of the bird species I missed on a previous visit. The Philippine archipelago holds approximately 200 endemic bird species. The vast majority of these endemics is found on the main islands and they are regularly reported on by commercial birding tours and independent birders. Although I did revisit some the better-known sites, I will not discuss them here as one can easily find information about them on the Internet. Instead, I will discuss the more remote and challenging sites, rarely visited by independent birders and which lack logistical information on the web or in print. Each of these sites holds something special, something that cannot easily be seen elsewhere in the archipelago. BASICS Visas Check with the Philippine embassy in your country for specifics. Most western tourists are given an automatic 21-day visa on arrival in the country. If you plan to stay longer than that initial 21-days, you can extend that vista to 59 days at any time during the initial 21-days. This extension can be done at any immigration offices in most provincial capitals and is most conveniently done away from Manila. Lonely Planet discusses this adequately. Money The currency of the Philippines is the peso (1US$ = 43 pesos). Changing US dollar and the Euro is possible at moneychangers and banks and most readily in tourist areas but is still a time consuming process.

  • Prehistoric Exploitation and Biogeography of Birds in Coastal and Andean Ecuador
    PREHISTORIC EXPLOITATION AND BIOGEOGRAPHY OF BIRDS IN COASTAL AND ANDEAN ECUADOR By MARKUS PATRICIO TELLKAMP A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2005 Copyright 2005 by Markus Patricio Tellkamp This dissertation is dedicated to our daughters Doménica and Daniela. May they inherit from us a beautifully diverse and healthy planet earth. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This work would not have been possible without the help of many people. I thank my advisory committee, especially my advisor David Steadman, for their patience and enthusiastic support when my dissertation took an unexpected turn and a side project became the main focus of my research. I also thank David Steadman for unrestricted access to the specimen collection of birds at the Florida Museum of Natural History and a great deal of inspiration. Brian McNab, Norris Williams, Susan deFrance, and Michael Binford all provided great comments that improved the quality of this work. The recent acquisition of specimens from Peru by Andrew Kratter has been instrumental in the success of this study. Lauran Bianco assisted in taking morphometric measurements. My visit to archaeological field sites in coastal Ecuador was greatly facilitated by Ana Agreda. I thank my wife Ivonne Ulloa for helping with so many aspects of this study, from cleaning bones, entering data, to providing companionship into the wee hours of the night. For help with my study on the phylogeography of Andean birds, although not the subject of this dissertation, I need to thank the Department of Zoology, Ginger Clark, Ivonne Ulloa, Lauran Bianco, Alexandra Rudnik, Phuong Pham, Robert Gotshalk, Fabián Cupuerán, Miguel Burgos, Fabián Granda, Fundación Arco Iris, Martha Mondragón, Juan Fernando Freile, Fundación La Otonga, and the Ecuadorian ornithological foundation (CECIA).

  • Central Peru 2018 Tour Report
    Junin Grebe; a very elegant species (Eustace Barnes). CENTRAL PERU 11 – 29TH NOVEMBER 2018 LEADER: EUSTACE BARNES The Central Peruvian avifauna is relatively poorly known, for a country that has received so much attention of late, especially given the continuous stream of new taxa discovered in the region. So, the time is right to get on board and enjoy this fabulous tour. So, for this tour, first the stats; 505 species, 123/165 diamond rated species and 55 write-ins. The highest overall total recorded for this tour, but not one involving any ‘wader padding’ or random stop ‘rainforest padders’ or indeed a swathe of widespread cloud forest birds. This being due to heavy rains and ‘habitat modification’ at some sites. Time to reaffirm the mission statement and say that the tour was simply better than ever, our expectations far exceeded and although the future is bright for this dynamic tour, time is short for some species. A great trip and a great group. ! ! 1 BirdQuest Tour Report: Central Peru 2018 www.birdquest-tours.com The legendary DSP at home on his bog (Jono Irvine). Highlights A to Z.; outstanding views of Tawny-throated Dotterel with young and assorted furnarids on day 1, great moments with a pair of Lesser horned Owls at dawn, Russet-bellied Spinetail and Great Inca Finch on day 2, magical experiences with White-cheeked Cotinga and a family of Koepcke’s Screech Owls in the breath taking scenery of the Cordillera Blanca on day 3, Ancash Tapaculo at our feet and walking amongst the gigantic Puya raimondii in Huascaran National Park on day 4, two mega sessions at Bosque Unchog with Bay-vented Cotinga, Golden-backed Mountain Tanager and Rufous-browed Hemispingus on days 5 and 7, Rufous-backed Inca-Finch and Junin Rail day 8, a spectacular morning at high altitude with the critically endangered Junin Grebe on day 9, Creamy-bellied Antwrens, Black and chestnut Eagle, a cooperative Lanceolated Monklet and Foothill Eleania day 10.
