    Eben Goodale Professor PI, Behavioral and Community Ecology, Conservation Biology College of Forestry, Guangxi University, Lab 519 No. 100 DaXue Road, Nanning, Guangxi 530004, PR China E-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] Cell: (+86) 18174128262; Skype: eben.goodale ORCID: 0000-0003-3403-2847 Web: www.animal-ecology-guangxi.com Biographical Narrative: Eben Goodale is Professor, PI of a group focusing on animal ecology and conservation at Guangxi University in China. He is interested in the connection between three fields of ecology: behavioral ecology, community ecology and conservation biology. His research focuses on how behavior, particularly communication, affects the interactions between species, and how knowledge about such interactions can be integrated into conservation and management plans. He received his bachelor’s from Harvard College (1997), his Ph.D. from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst (2005), and held postdoctoral fellowships at the Massachusetts Institute for Technology, the National Science Foundation (USA) and the University of California, San Diego / University of San Diego. Much of his work has been done on birds and in Sri Lanka, but he has also conducted bird research in India, Papua New Guinea (PNG), and China, and has also worked on communication in bees. He is the first author of “Mixed-species Animal Groups” (Academic Press, 2017), the only book on this topic, and more than 50 scientific articles including publications in general science journals, such as Trends in Ecology and Evolution, Proceedings of the Royal Society B, American Naturalist, and Biology Letters, animal behavior journals, such as Animal Behavior, and Behavioral Ecology, and conservation/environmental journals, such as Environmental Pollution, Diversity and Distributions, Agriculture, Ecosystems and Environment, and Biological Conservation.

In addition to the three Enicurus species at our field site, Forktails (Muscicapidae; Enicurus; 7 species) are charismatic and we found the stream-adapted passerine community of this creek energetic stream-associated, terrestrial flycatchers distributed to include Plumbeous Water Redstart Phoenicurus fuliginosus, primarily in the mountains of the Indian Subcontinent, China, White-capped Redstart P. leucocephalus, Grey Wagtail Motacilla Taiwan, and South-east Asia through Indonesia (Collar 2005; cinerea, and Western Yellow Wagtail M. flava. Grimmett et al. 2011; Clement & Rose 2015; Eaton et al. 2016). Forktails are known to feed along stream edges and banks, picking invertebrates from the water margins, leaf litter and surface of streams along shallow submerged rocks, and in the splash-zones of small rapids (Rand & Fleming 1957; Tyler & Ormerod 1994; Manel et al 2000; Buckton & Ormerod 2008; Amir et al.

    CMS Distribution: General CONVENTION ON MIGRATORY UNEP/CMS/COP12/Doc.24.1.7 23 May 2017 SPECIES Original: English 12th MEETING OF THE CONFERENCE OF THE PARTIES Manila, Philippines, 23 - 28 October 2017 Agenda Item 24.1.7 ACTION PLAN FOR FAR EASTERN CURLEW (Prepared by the Australian Government) Summary: The Far Eastern Curlew is an endangered migratory shorebird which is included in Appendix I and II of CMS. Resolution 11.14 on a Programme of Work on Migratory Birds and Flyways recommends the development, adoption and implementation of an Action Plan for this species. A task force established under the East Asian – Australasian Flyway Partnership (EAAFP) in 2015 prepared the Action Plan in consultation with Range States, EAAFP Partners, non-government organizations and the research community. The Action Plan was approved by the EAAFP at its meeting of partners held in Singapore in January 2017. The Action Plan identifies key threats and prioritizes actions required to improve the conservation status of the Far Eastern Curlew throughout its range. The Action Plan is submitted to COP12 for adoption with a view to promote immediate implementation. Implementation of the Action Plan will contribute to targets 8, 9 and 10 of the Strategic Plan for Migratory Species 2015-2023. UNEP/CMS/COP12/Doc.24.1.7 ACTION PLAN FOR FAR EASTERN CURLEW Background 1. The Far Eastern Curlew (Numenius madagascariensis) was listed as vulnerable on the IUCN Red List in 2010 and uplisted to endangered in 2015.

  • Waterbirds of Lake Baikal, Eastern Siberia, Russia
    FORKTAIL 25 (2009): 13–70 Waterbirds of Lake Baikal, eastern Siberia, Russia JIŘÍ MLÍKOVSKÝ Lake Baikal lies in eastern Siberia, Russia. Due to its huge size, its waterbird fauna is still insufficiently known in spite of a long history of relevant research and the efforts of local and visiting ornithologists and birdwatchers. Overall, 137 waterbird species have been recorded at Lake Baikal since 1800, with records of five further species considered not acceptable, and one species recorded only prior to 1800. Only 50 species currently breed at Lake Baikal, while another 11 species bred there in the past or were recorded as occasional breeders. Only three species of conservation importance (all Near Threatened) currently breed or regularly migrate at Lake Baikal: Asian Dowitcher Limnodromus semipalmatus, Black-tailed Godwit Limosa limosa and Eurasian Curlew Numenius arquata. INTRODUCTION In the course of past centuries water levels in LB fluctuated considerably (Galaziy 1967, 1972), but the Lake Baikal (hereafter ‘LB’) is the largest lake in Siberia effects on the local avifauna have not been documented. and one of the largest in the world.

  • New and Interesting Records for the Obi Archipelago (North Maluku, Indonesia)
    Marc Thibault et al. 83 Bull. B.O.C. 2013 133(2) New and interesting records for the Obi archipelago (north Maluku, Indonesia), including feld observations and frst description of the vocalisation of Moluccan Woodcock Scolopax rochussenii by Marc Thibault, Pierre Defos du Rau, Olivier Pineau & Wesley Pangimangen Received 6 October 2012 Summary.—The avifauna of the Obi archipelago is rather poorly studied and current understanding is essentially based on several historic collecting eforts and few recent visits by modern ornithologists, none of which reached the mountains above 750 m. Furthermore, the taxonomic position of many bird populations restricted to the archipelago or shared with nearby Bacan Island remains confused. We describe the results of a two-week avifaunal survey of Obi in March 2010. We provide frst records since 1982 of the poorly known Moluccan Woodcock Scolopax rochussenii as well as the frst description of its vocalisation and frst information on its habitat, which, contrary to what was previously speculated, includes lowland forest. We also provide confrmed records of fve taxa previously unknown on the island, including one that possibly represents a new subspecies (Sulawesi Myzomela Myzomela chloroptera). New elevational information is presented for 34 species. Comments on the taxonomy of several endemic taxa are made on the basis of new vocalisation or photographic material, suggesting that at least two deserve biological species status (Northern Golden Bulbul Thapsinillas longirostris lucasi, Dusky Myzomela Myzomela

Conservation assessment of Far Eastern Oystercatcher Haematopus [ostralegus] osculans. International Wader Studies 20: 129 –154. The Far Eastern Oystercatcher Haematopus [ostralegus] osculans is a little-known taxon, with an estimated total population of about 11,000 birds. The disjunctive breeding range extends along the west coast of the Kamchatkan Peninsula to Shelikov Bay at the head of the Sea of Okhotsk, and from the west and south coasts of the Korean Peninsula south to Fujian Province, China. During the summer a few birds occur from the Amur River delta south along the coasts of Khabarovsk and Primorsky regions, and inland in the central Amur region and northeast China, but few are thought to breed there. It is nowhere common. It winters mainly along the west coast of the Korean Peninsula and the coast of East China from southern Shandong Province to as far south as northern Guangdong Province.

  • Diet of Peregrine Falcons (Falco Peregrinus) in Korea: Food Items and Seasonal Changes
    J. Raptor Res. 49(4):376–388 E 2015 The Raptor Research Foundation, Inc. DIET OF PEREGRINE FALCONS (FALCO PEREGRINUS) IN KOREA: FOOD ITEMS AND SEASONAL CHANGES CHANG-YONG CHOI1 AND HYUN-YOUNG NAM Migratory Birds Center, Korea National Park Service, Heuksan-myeon, Shinan County, Jeonnam Province 535-917 Republic of Korea ABSTRACT.—Although the diet of Peregrine Falcons (Falco peregrinus) has been studied worldwide, little information on the species’ feeding behavior has been reported for East Asia. To document prey compo- sition and seasonal foraging habits, we collected prey remains and observed hunting behavior of Peregrine Falcons from 2001 to 2013 in the Republic of Korea. We identified 362 prey items comprising 77 species, including two insect species, two globally threatened avian species, and three owls. We found wide variation in prey mass, ranging from 0.3 g to 1103 g; the geometric mean prey weight (GMPW) was 128.8 6 3.5 g, and 74.3% of prey taxa were ,240 g in body mass. The diversity and body mass of peregrine prey varied seasonally; peregrines tended to hunt for a few large-bodied prey species in winter when nonbreeding waterbirds were most abundant, whereas they fed on small- to medium-sized birds during other seasons. In particular, peregrines fed on more species in spring and autumn, likely because of the increased diversity and abundance of migratory birds in those seasons. Our results indicated that Peregrine Falcons in Korea show opportunistic food habits, with diet varying according to seasonal prey availability. KEY WORDS: Peregrine Falcon; Falco peregrinus; diet; Korea; prey availability; seasonal change.

  • A Review of the Taxonomy and Status of the Plain- Pouched Hornbill Aceros Subruficollis
    FORKTAIL 16 (2000): 83-86 A review of the taxonomy and status of the Plain- pouched Hornbill Aceros subruficollis PAMELA C. RASMUSSEN The Plain-pouched Hornbill Aceros subruficollis has been the subject of considerable taxonomic confusion (reviewed herein), but is now considered to be a full species. Originally known only from southern Myanmar (Burma), it has also been thought erroneously to occur in north-east India, north and west Burma, north-west Thailand, Sumatra, and Borneo. Most of the confusion is due to the similarity of adult Plain-pouched Hornbills to juveniles and the Greater Sunda populations of the Wreathed Hornbill A. undulatus. Numerous morphological characters, however, differentiate the species, and these are described and illustrated in this paper. Its true range evidently includes only southern Burma, south-west and southernmost Thailand, and northernmost Malaysia. Although this re-evaluation of the species’s range shows it to be a great deal more restricted and local than previously thought, large numbers have recently been found in a few new sites, but most of the 19th century sites have not been re-surveyed. HISTORY subruficollis were identified from Thailand (Gairdner 1915, Gyldenstolpe 1916 and 1920, Meyer de Since its description as a species rather early in the 19th Schauensee 1946, Riley 1938) and northern Burma century, the Plain-pouched (or Tenasserim) Hornbill (Stanford and Ticehurst 1935 and 1939), so it seemed Aceros subruficollis (Plate 2) has been the subject of a that its range was quite extensive and largely coincident great deal of taxonomic uncertainty.
