The contents of each chapter generally reflect the special interests of the contributors. Some have presented a detailed taxonomic review of the families concerned; some have referred the readers to standard taxonomic works, in view of the breadth and complexity of the subject concerned, and have concentrated on ecological or physiological aspects; others have chosen to review insects of a specific set of habitats. -

NC2006 (fauna) Doc. 4.1 (English only/Únicamente en inglés/Seulement en anglais) CONVENTION ON INTERNATIONAL TRADE IN ENDANGERED SPECIES OF WILD FAUNA AND FLORA ____________ Nomenclature Committee Fauna Lima (Peru), 10 July 2006 Update on issues following CoP13 BIRD NOMENCLATURE 1. This document has been submitted by the zoologist of the Nomenclature Committee. 2. At the latest meeting of the Nomenclature Committee (fauna) in Geneva, on 23 May 2005, the zoologist of the Nomenclature Committee suggested to consider the Howard and Moore Complete Checklist of the Birds of the World, edited by Dickinson1, as new standard reference for the bird nomenclature. She promised to provide a document for the next NC meeting in 2006 outlining the consequences of the adoption of this reference for the present nomenclature of CITES listed bird species. 3. The present document is based on an analysis carried out by Tim Inskipp (UNEP-WCMC), who compared the bird species so far accepted under CITES with the bird taxa in the The Howard and Moore Complete Checklist of the Birds of the World edited by Dickinson. 4. CITES Appendices currently include altogether 1,570 species or subspecies of birds. The adoption of the Howard and Moore Checklist edited by Dickinson would result in: – 141 one-to-one replacements (86 generic changes, 50 spelling changes, 5 name replacements) (see Annex 1); – 39 changes of species being reduced to subspecies level (see Annex 2); and – 45 split-listings where present subspecies are elevated to species level (see Annex 3). 5. One-to-one replacements will create no implementation problem as in the case of re-exports old documents the old scientific names can be easily be related to the new valid names. -

Pleistocene non-passeriform landbirds from Shiriya, northeast Japan. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 63 (3): 469–491. Located on the eastern margin of Eurasia, the Japanese Archipelago hosts a unique modern fauna of terrestrial vertebrates including landbirds which show a high proportion of endemic species/subspecies. Despite its potential importance in taxonomy and biogeography, the Pleistocene landbird fossil record has been scarce on Japanese islands, providing little information on the history of the unique fauna in the region. In this study, fossil remains of non-passeriform landbirds from the Middle–Late Pleistocene (Marine Isotope Stages [MIS] 9 and 5e) of Shiriya, northernmost Honshu Island, Japan, are revised with extensive osteological comparisons. As a result, -

Solomon Islands
The Wilson Journal of Ornithology 130(1):235–255, 2018 The avifauna of Makira (San Cristobal), Solomon Islands John C. Mittermeier,1* Guy Dutson,2 Roger E. James,3 Tammy E. Davies,4,5 Reuben Tako,6 and J. Albert C. Uy7 ABSTRACT—The island of Makira in the eastern Solomon Islands is a globally significant priority for bird conservation and, like other islands in Melanesia, its avifauna plays an important role in understanding patterns of biogeography and speciation. Large portions of the island have rarely been visited by ornithologists, however, and published natural history information is limited for many species. We conducted field surveys, interviews, and camera trapping on Makira from October 2015 to February 2016, including the first ornithological surveys in southern Makira. We identify minor differences between the bird communities in the southern and northern parts of the island and report on noteworthy natural history observations, including nest descriptions for Yellow-legged Pigeon (Columba pallidiceps) and Shade Warbler (Horornis parens). We did not detect 3 endangered terrestrial species (Makira Woodhen [Gallinula silvestris], Thick-billed Ground- Dove [Gallicolumba salamonis], and White-bibbed Ground-Dove [Gallicolumba jobiensis]), and all 3 are probably extinct on Makira. High numbers of invasive species are present throughout Makira’s forests, in particular rats (Rattus spp.), which were found at all our survey sites and accounted for nearly 34% of camera trap images, and cats (Felis catus), which were recorded at all sites that received .75 camera-days of survey effort. The widespread presence of invasive predators in remote and unlogged forests helps explain the disappearance of native species from the island. -
The Spotted Green Pigeon Caloenas Maculata
Hein van Grouw 291 Bull. B.O.C. 2014 134(4) The Spoted Green Pigeon Caloenas maculata: as dead as a Dodo, but what else do we know about it? by Hein van Grouw Received 31 July 2014 Summary.—Described in 1783 and since then re-examined by many notable ornithologists, the single specimen known as the ‘Spoted Green Pigeon’ Caloenas maculata in the collections of the World Museum, Liverpool, has always been a mystery. No-one has ever doubted that it is a pigeon, and many researchers were convinced it was a distinct species. Although its taxonomic status remained unclear, it was ofcially declared extinct by BirdLife International in early 2008. Recent DNA analysis has now revealed that Spoted Green Pigeon can indeed be considered a distinct species within the extended Dodo Raphus cucullatus clade of morphologically very diverse pigeon species. Most members of this clade exhibit terrestrial or semi-terrestrial habits. Further morphological research into this unique specimen, initiated by the World Museum, demonstrates that Spoted Green Pigeon, in contrast to its fellow clade members, may have possessed strongly arboreal habits. The Spoted Green Pigeon Caloenas maculata, represented by a single specimen held in the scientifc collections of the World Museum, Liverpool, has always bafed ornithologists. Although its provenance is unknown, the confusion has mainly centred on whether it is a valid species; that the specimen is a pigeon has never been questioned. Because of its green-glossed plumage and slightly elongated hackles, it is usually assumed to be allied to Nicobar Pigeon C. nicobarica, although they share few other morphological features. -

Gustafssonb, Magdi Shehataa a Department of Entomology, Faculty of Science, Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt b Guangdong Key Laboratory of Animal Conservation and Resources, Guangdong Public Laboratory of Wild Animal Conservation and Utilization, Guangdong Institute of Applied Biological Resources, Guangzhou, Guangdong, China ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Keywords: Little information is available about the chewing lice of wild birds of Egypt, including common groups such as Egypt pigeons and doves (Columbiformes). Through this work, parasitic chewing lice of common columbiformes of New species Egypt were revised including new data. Three species of pigeons and doves (Streptopelia decaocto Frivaldszky New records 1838, Spilopelia senegalensis Linnaeus 1766 and Columba livia Gmelin 1789) were examined for chewing lice at Chewing lice three different localities. A total of 124 specimens of lice were collected. Nine species were identified from these Columbiformes samples; one species (Columbicola joudiae n. sp.) was considered a new species to science, six species were Columbicola fi fi Coloceras recorded from Egypt for the rst time, and two species have been identi ed in Egypt before. Taxonomic and fi Campanulotes ecological remarks for all identi ed chewing lice samples are provided along with known and local hosts, Colpocephalum measurements and material examined. Description and images of the new species are also provided. 1. Introduction the Rock Dove is the most widely domesticated by humans for hundreds of years and have become feral in cities around the world (Beletsky, The study of chewing lice has been neglected for many years in the 2007). -

We mist netted individuals of 23 species in Wanang 1 and 37 species in Wanang 3. During the morning point-counts, we recorded 3358 individuals of 82 species in Wanang 1 and 11516 individuals of 122 species in Wanang 3. Altogether we recorded 99 species in slightly disturbed Wanang 1(on the border of conservation area) and 131 species during long-term survey in deep forest of Wanang 3.
