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. -

Conserving Shorebirds in Human-Dominated Landscapes Micha Victoria Jackson Bachelor of Arts, Environmental Studies
Conserving shorebirds in human-dominated landscapes Micha Victoria Jackson Bachelor of Arts, Environmental Studies ORCID: 0000-0002-5150-2962 A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2020 School of Biological Sciences i Abstract Wetlands support biodiversity and provide critical ecosystem services but have been severely impacted by human activity. Shorebirds are a diverse group of waterbirds that usually forage in shallow water, making them highly dependent on wetlands. Coastal shorebirds are increasingly threatened in the East Asian-Australasian Flyway where coastlines are heavily developed and wetlands have been extensively modified and degraded. In this human-dominated landscape, shorebirds sometimes aggregate in artificial wetlands associated with human production activities including agriculture, aquaculture and salt production. However, it is unknown whether artificial habitat use is widespread by shorebirds across the flyway, if such habitats could help to offset negative population trends, or how artificial habitats should be managed alongside natural habitats to achieve conservation outcomes. This thesis investigates the use of artificial and natural habitats by shorebirds in heavily developed coastal regions of the East Asian-Australasian Flyway, and suggests conservation and management actions in this setting. Chapter 2 presents the first large-scale review of coastal artificial habitat use by shorebirds in the East Asian-Australasian Flyway. Analysing data from multiple monitoring programs and the literature, it shows that 83 shorebird species have occurred on more than 170 artificial sites of eight different land uses throughout the flyway, including 36 species in internationally important numbers. However, occurrence and foraging on artificial habitats is uneven among species, and different land uses support varying abundances and species diversity. -

Genetic Diversity Within and Among Populations of Black Robins on the Chatham Islands, New Zealand
Genetic Diversity Within and Among Populations of Black Robins on the Chatham Islands, New Zealand A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Evolutionary Biology at the University of Canterbury Natalie Forsdick University of Canterbury Christchurch, New Zealand April 2016 Abstract Endemic island populations worldwide are at greater risk of extinction than similar mainland populations, in part due to the specific genetic threats faced by small populations, namely of loss of genetic diversity and inbreeding. Reduced genetic diversity limits the ability of populations to adapt to altered conditions, while unavoidable inbreeding reduces population fitness through the effects of inbreeding depression. Effective conservation management requires the understanding of these effects on populations of interest to adopt appropriate strategies to reduce such threats, and thereby ensure long-term population persistence. Through the use of next-generation sequencing, I isolated 11 polymorphic microsatellite loci to allow analysis of current levels of genetic diversity in the endangered Chatham Island black robin Petroica traversi. The black robin has a history of small population size, including a population bottleneck of a single breeding pair, prior to recovery of population size over the past 30 years. The species is currently limited to populations on two small islands, and likely has a high extinction risk due to unavoidable inbreeding in the recovering populations, and may have experienced loss of genetic diversity due to strong genetic drift within these small populations. I compared levels of genetic diversity in the black robin to that of its closest congener, the Chatham Island tomtit Petroica macrocephala chathamensis, to assess how the population history of the black robin has affected its genetic diversity. -

New Zealand Subantarctic Islands 12 Nov – 4 Dec 2017 … a personal trip report by Jesper Hornskov goodbirdmail(at)gmail.com © this draft 24 Jan 2018 I joined the 2017 version of the Heritage Expedtion ‘Birding Down Under’ voyage – The official trip reports covering this and five others are accessible via the link https://www.heritage-expeditions.com/trip/birding-downunder-2018/ … and I heartily recommend reading all of them in order to get an idea of how different each trip is. While you are at it, accounts of less comprehensive trips are posted elsewhere on the Heritage Expedition website, e g https://www.heritage-expeditions.com/trip/macquarie-island-expedition-cruise- new-zealand/ The report is written mostly to help digest a wonderful trip, but if other people – Team Members as well as prospective travelers – enjoy it, find it helpful, or amusing, then so much the better… Itinerary: 12 Nov: arrived Invercargill after a journey that saw me leave home @08h00 GST + 1 on 10th… To walk off the many hours spent on planes and in airports I grabbed a free map at the Heritage Expedition recommended Kelvin Hotel and set out on a stroll - did Queen’s Park 19h05-20h15, then walked on along Queen’s Drive skirting the SE corner of Thomson’s Bush (an attractive patch of native forest which it was, alas, too late in the day to explore) and back to town along the embankment of Waihopai river as it was getting dark. Back at hotel 21h45 & managed to grab a trendy pita bread for dinner just before the joint closed. -
