A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF LITERATURE ON A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF LITERATURE ON ECOLOGICAL DIVERSITY AND RELATED METHODOLOGY ECOLOGICAL DIVERSITY AND B. Dennis, G. P. Patil, O. Rossi*, S. Stehman, and C. Taillie RELATED METHODOLOGY The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA 16802 "Why diversity?" Recently a statistician noted that he never received a simple straightforward answer to this question from ecologists. But imagine the look of disappointment in an ecologist hearing this question. by The diversity, or variety, of plants and animals on this planet is the very basis of the ecologist's profession. Ecology is rooted in natural history. Perhaps the fundamental working craft of the ecologist is taxonomy; B. DENNIS, G. P. PAXIL, O. ROSSI, S. STEHMAN, possibly the most elemental quantities recorded in ecological work are the numbers and abundances of spe• cies. Why are there so many species in the abundances that we observe? Indeed, almost any ecological and C. TAILLIE study has some bearing on this question, as these quantities will be explained only after the interrelationships of the organisms and environments are fully understood. So if you ask an ecologist "why diversity?" the response, if any, will likely echo the retort of the moun• taineer Mallory when questioned about his own pursuits: "Because it is there!". Here is a list of the publications in the literature on ecological diversity. We were particularly anxious to Reprinted from include works on conceptualization and statistical properties of diversity indices and models of species abundance as well as empirical studies in which these indices (including species richness!) and models ECOLOGICAL DIVERSITY IN THEORY AND PRACTICE were used.

Email: [email protected] Abstract. We revisited a location to study previously individually marked Tagula Honeyeaters Microptilotis vicina in 2019, 3 years after the original 2016 study on Junet Island, Louisiade Archipelago, Papua New Guinea. Re-encountered Tagula Honeyeaters indicated sedentary behaviour across years and an average annual adult survival rate of ≥0.75. We made the first observations of building and laying at two nests, and recorded nesting habits in the species. Tagula Honeyeaters showed the general trend in the honeyeater family of only the female building the nest and incubating. Nests were similar to those previously observed and to those of related species. Clutch-size in both nests was two and laying was on consecutive days. Eggs were white to off-white, with a ring of liver-brown spots and markings around the larger end. Incubation began on the day that the second egg was laid and lasted 14 days in both nests. Males visited the nest area only after the eggs hatched. At one nest, the nestling period was suspected to be 12 days. These limited observations of the only endemic island representative in Microptilotis indicate that, like plumage characters, breeding parameters remain similar within the genus.

We were blessed with pretty good weather, but got impacted by fog on two afternoons, at both Murmur Pass and then at Rondon. Flight logistics were good except Air Niugini lived up to their reputation Air Agony nametag and cancelled our afternoon flight to Hoskins just as we were expecting to board, costing us a morning on New Britain, but at least they departed only slightly late on the day we all had international connections! Kiunga, Kumul, Rondon Ridge and Walindi were great destinations with some terrific birds as always, and our hotel in Port Moresby is a very pleasant haven. Sadly this year tribal unrest meant Ambua was not open, but should be restored for 2020 and we included Walindi in the main tour instead. We had a morning up at Varirata and a rewarding afternoon at the PAU. Varirata was great for kingfishers with Yellow-billed, Rufous-bellied Kookaburra, Blue-winged Kookaburra and Brown-headed Paradise Kingfisher, and several sightings of Raggianas though the lek was quiet today. All of us saw both Glossy-mantled (our first of the bird of paradise family) and Crinkle-collared manucodes, and some got brief looks at Growling Riflebird, which was calling close by.

    Spatial Variation in Avian Bill Size Is Associated with Humidity in Summer Among Australian Passerines Janet L

    Gardner et al. Climate Change Responses (2016) 3:11 DOI 10.1186/s40665-016-0026-z RESEARCH Open Access Spatial variation in avian bill size is associated with humidity in summer among Australian passerines Janet L. Gardner1*, Matthew R. E. Symonds2, Leo Joseph3, Karen Ikin4, John Stein4 and Loeske E. B. Kruuk1 Abstract Background: Climate imposes multiple selection pressures on animal morphology. Allen’s Rule proposes that geographic variation in the appendage size of endotherms, relative to body size, is linked to climatic variation, thereby facilitating heat exchange and body temperature regulation. Thus relatively larger appendages tend to be found in animals in warmer climates. Despite growing understanding of the role of the avian bill as an organ for heat exchange, few studies have tested the ecological significance of bill size for heat dissipation across species and environmental gradients. Amongst those that have, most have focused on the relationship with ambient temperature, but there is growing evidence that humidity also has a strong influence on heat dissipation. In particular, increasing humidity reduces the potential for evaporative cooling, favouring radiative and convective heat loss via the bill, and hence potentially favouring larger bills in humid environments. Here, we used phylogenetically-controlled analyses of the bill morphology of 36 species of Australian passerines to explore the relationship between bill size and multiple aspects of climate. Results: Humidity during the hot summer months (December-February) was positively associated with relative bill surface area across species. There was no overall association between bill size and summer temperatures per se, but the association with humidity was mediated by temperature, with a significant interaction indicating stronger associations with humidity at cooler summer temperatures.

Email: [email protected] Summary. Two of the five Australian Meliphaga species, the White-lined M. albilineata and Kimberley M. fordiana Honeyeaters, are endemic to sandstone habitats in the Northern Territory and Western Australia, respectively. Little is known of their ecology, and their taxonomic status remains debated. We addressed this information gap by studying the foraging ecology and interspecific interactions of both taxa in the field. When compared with other Australian honeyeaters, both species were infrequently found in flocks, and foraged low in the canopy. Within their respective local assemblages, however, the White-lined Honeyeater foraged relatively higher in the forest strata than most species, whereas the Kimberley Honeyeater foraged lower than all other co-occurring honeyeaters. The results presented here fill in some of the gaps in knowledge about these species’ ecologies, and support the retention of the Kimberley Honeyeater as a distinct species. Introduction According to Christidis & Boles (2008), there are two species of Meliphaga honeyeaters in the Top End of the Northern Territory and the Kimberley in Western Australia, both of which are poorly known. One of these, the White-lined Honeyeater M.

Dion’s skills as a tour leader and his extensive knowledge of Australia, his home country, meant that the tour has grown immensely in popularity over the years. As such, in 2019, for the first time, VENT offered two subsequent trips for both Part I, Part II, and the extension to Tasmania. I was the primary leader for the first run of Grand Australia, with Dion to follow a week later (and David James in Tasmania). My co-leaders were the two Zimmer brothers, Kevin and Barry, who are two of VENT’s long-serving and most popular tour leaders. Barry joined me for Part I and Kevin was with me for three weeks during Part II and Tasmania. I learned a great deal from both and enjoyed their company immensely, making the whole five weeks of touring very enjoyable. Thanks are definitely in order to both Barry and Kevin, but also to Dion and David for their work in creating these tours. Of course, I must also thank Victor and Barry Lyon for their foresight and for putting their trust in me, as well as the office staff, in particular Erik and Rene, for making it all happen.

    FORAGING BEHAVIOR, BEHAVIORAL FLEXIBILITY, AND RANGE SIZE OF AUSTRALIAN HONEYEATERS (MELIPHAGIDAE) by SARAH KATHERINE WAGNER B.A., Earlham College, 2002 M.A., University of Colorado, 2010 A thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Colorado in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology 2015 This thesis entitled: Foraging behavior, behavioral flexibility, and range size of Australian Honeyeaters (Meliphagidae) written by Sarah Katherine Wagner has been approved for the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Alexander Cruz (chair) Kendi Davies (member) 14 July, 2015 The final copy of this thesis has been examined by the signatories, and we Find that both the content and the form meet acceptable presentation standards Of scholarly work in the above mentioned discipline. iii Wagner, Sarah Katherine (Ph.D., Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology) Foraging behavior, behavioral flexibility, and range size of Australian Honeyeaters (Meliphagidae) Dissertation directed by Professor Alexander Cruz Anthropogenic disturbance is the leading cause of species extinctions (Vitousek 1997, Pimm and Raven 2000, Ewers and Didham 2006). Modern ecologists are given the task of determining how to predict and then mitigate species’ response to such disturbances. Species with larger niches, and more behaviorally flexible species, are predicted to better succeed in novel environments in the face of large scale habitat changes (Mayr 1965, Ehlrich 1989, Sol 2002, Shultz 2005). Foraging behavior can be a good descriptor of species’ niches, and the variation in these measures can be used to quantify behavioral flexibility (Sol 2002). My dissertation utilizes the interface between animal behavior data and broad-scale ecological patterns.
