32 Hirundo 1997 nr. 2 Koostanud Vilju L i l l e l e h t ja Asko L 6 h m u s ~oij,postkast 227, Tartu EE2400 Kaesolev nirnestik sisaldab 766 Euroopa linnuliigi teaduslikke ladinakeelseid), eestikeelseid ja ingliskeelseid nimetusi. Eestikeelsed soovitatavad nimekujud on aastatel 1991-1997 kinnitanud Eesti Linnunimetuste Komisjon. Praegu kuuluvad komisjoni Eerik Leibak, Vilju Lilleleht (esimees), Ruth Ling, Aivo LBhmus ja Asko Ldhmus, varem on toos osalenud veel Mart Mager ja Olav Renno. Liikide loendi koostamisel jargiti Euroopa Linnuharulduste Komisjonide Assotsiatsiooni (AERC) koostatud Euroopa linnuiiikide nimestikku, kuid sellest jaeti valja 125 eksikijlalisena esinevat liiki, kellele eestikeelsed nimetused esialgu puuduvad. Susternaatiline jarjestus, teaduslikud ja inglisekeelsed nimetused on antud "British Birds" List of the Birds of the Western Palearctic, 1997. jargi. Nimestikus toodud eestikeelsete sunonuiirnide puhul on eelistatud esi- kohal olev nimetus. Et hblbustada varasema ornitoloogiliise kirjanduse kasuta- mist, on lisaks kinnitatud eestikeelsetele nimetustele eraldi toodud ka pearnis- tes kasiraamatutes esinevad nirnekujud, juhul kui need erinevad praegusest.

    The Importance of Muraviovka Park, Amur Province, Far East Russia, For

    FORKTAIL 33 (2017): 81–87 The importance of Muraviovka Park, Amur province, Far East Russia, for bird species threatened at regional, national and international level based on observations between 2011 and 2016 WIELAND HEIM & SERGEI M. SMIRENSKI The middle reaches of the Amur River in Far East Russia are still an under-surveyed region, yet holding a very high regional biodiversity. During a six-year survey at Muraviovka Park, a non-governmental nature reserve, 271 bird species have been recorded, 14 of which are globally threatened, highlighting the importance of this area for bird conservation. INTRODUCTION RESULTS Recent studies have shown that East Asia and especially the Amur A total of 271 species was recorded inside Muraviovka Park between basin hold huge numbers of endangered species, and the region was 2011 and 2016; 24 species are listed as Near Treatened (NT), designated as a hotspot of threatened biodiversity (e.g. Vignieri 2014). Vulnerable (VU), Endangered (EN) or Critically Endangered (CR) Tis is especially true for birds. Te East Asian–Australasian Flyway (BirdLife International 2017a), 31 species in the Russian Red Data is not only one of the richest in species and individuals but is also the Book (Iliashenko & Iliashenko 2000) (Ru) and 60 species in the least surveyed and most threatened fyway (Yong et al. 2015). Current Amur region Red Data Book (Glushchenko et al. 2009) (Am). In data about distribution, population size and phenology are virtually the case of the Russian and Amur regional Red Data Books, the lacking for many regions, including the Amur region, Far East Russia.

Despite having a rich avifauna in Iran, limited number of studies have been conducted on lice fauna of wild birds in this region. This study was carried out to identify lice species of passerine birds in East of Iran. A total of 106 passerine birds of 37 species were captured. Their bodies were examined for lice infestation. Fifty two birds (49.05%) of 106 captured birds were infested. Overall 465 lice were collected from infested birds and 11 lice species were identified as follow: Brueelia chayanh on Common Myna (Acridotheres tristis), B.

    Beidaihe^ China: East Asian Hotspot Paul I

    Beidaihe^ China: East Asian hotspot Paul I. Holt, Graham P. Catley and David Tipling China has come a long way since 1958 when 'Sparrows [probably meaning any passerine], rats, bugs and flies' were proscribed as pests and a war declared on them. The extermination of a reputed 800,000 birds over three days in Beijing alone was apparently then followed by a plague of insects (Boswall 1986). After years of isolation and intellectual stagnation during the Cultural Revolution, China opened its doors to organised foreign tour groups in the late 1970s and to individual travellers from 1979 onwards. Whilst these initial 'pion­ eering' travellers included only a handful of birdwatchers, news of the country's ornithological riches soon spread and others were quick to follow. With a national avifauna in excess of 1,200 species, the People's Republic offers vast scope for study. Many of the species are endemic or nearly so, a majority are poorly known and a few possess an almost mythical draw for European birders. Sadly, all too many of the endemic forms are either rare or endangered. Initially, most of the recent visits by birders were via Hong Kong, and concentrated on China's mountainous southern and western regions. Inevitably, however, attention has shifted towards the coastal migration sites. Migration at one such, Beidaihe in Hebei Province, in Northeast China, had been studied and documented by a Danish scientist during the Second World War (Hemmingsen 1951; Hemmingsen & Guildal 1968). It became the focus of renewed interest after a 1985 Cambridge University expedition (Williams et al.
  • Russia's Boreal Forests

    Russia's Boreal Forests

    Forest Area Key Facts & Carbon Emissions Russia’s Boreal Forests from Deforestation Forest location and brief description Russia is home to more than one-fifth of the world’s forest areas (approximately 763.5 million hectares). The Russian landscape is highly diverse, including polar deserts, arctic and sub-arctic tundra, boreal and semi-tundra larch forests, boreal and temperate coniferous forests, temperate broadleaf and mixed forests, forest-steppe and steppe (temperate grasslands, savannahs, and shrub-lands), semi-deserts and deserts. Russian boreal forests (known in Russia as the taiga) represent the largest forested region on Earth (approximately 12 million km2), larger than the Amazon. These forests have relatively few tree species, and are composed mainly of birch, pine, spruce, fir, with some deciduous species. Mixed in among the forests are bogs, fens, marshes, shallow lakes, rivers and wetlands, which hold vast amounts of water. They contain more than 55 per cent of the world’s conifers, and 11 per cent of the world’s biomass. Unique qualities of forest area Russia’s boreal region includes several important Global 200 ecoregions - a science-based global ranking of the Earth’s most biologically outstanding habitats. Among these is the Eastern-Siberian Taiga, which contains the largest expanse of untouched boreal forest in the world. Russia’s largest populations of brown bear, moose, wolf, red fox, reindeer, and wolverine can be found in this region. Bird species include: the Golden eagle, Black- billed capercaillie, Siberian Spruce grouse, Siberian accentor, Great gray owl, and Naumann’s thrush. Russia’s forests are also home to the Siberian tiger and Far Eastern leopard.

    Egg Investment Strategies Adopted by a Desertic Passerine, the Saxaul

    Bao et al. Avian Res (2020) 11:15 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40657-020-00201-0 Avian Research RESEARCH Open Access Egg investment strategies adopted by a desertic passerine, the Saxaul Sparrow (Passer ammodendri) Xinkang Bao1* , Wei Zhao1, Fangqing Liu2, Jianliang Li1 and Donghui Ma1 Abstract Background: As one of the reproductive strategies adopted by bird species, variation in investment in egg produc- tion and its infuencing factors are important and well-studied subjects. Intraclutch changes in egg size associated with laying order may refect a strategy of “brood survival” or “brood reduction” adopted by female birds in diferent situations. Methods: We conducted feld studies on the breeding parameters of the Saxaul Sparrow (Passer ammodendri) in Gansu Province, China from 2010 to 2017, to clarify the factors afecting the egg investment and reproductive perfor- mance of this passerine species. Results: Our results revealed signifcant diferences in clutch size, egg size and the fedging rate between the frst and second brood of Saxaul Sparrows and suggested that this typical desert species allocates more breeding resources to the more favourable second brood period, leading to greater reproductive output. Female body size pre- sented a positive relationship with egg size, and male body size presented positive relationships with clutch size and hatchability. The females that started their clutches later laid more eggs, and hatchability and the fedging rate also increased with a later laying date in the frst brood period. With successive eggs laid within the 5-egg clutches (the most frequent clutch size), egg size increased for the frst three eggs and then signifcantly decreased.

    Phylogeography of Finches and Sparrows

    In: Animal Genetics ISBN: 978-1-60741-844-3 Editor: Leopold J. Rechi © 2009 Nova Science Publishers, Inc. Chapter 1 PHYLOGEOGRAPHY OF FINCHES AND SPARROWS Antonio Arnaiz-Villena*, Pablo Gomez-Prieto and Valentin Ruiz-del-Valle Department of Immunology, University Complutense, The Madrid Regional Blood Center, Madrid, Spain. ABSTRACT Fringillidae finches form a subfamily of songbirds (Passeriformes), which are presently distributed around the world. This subfamily includes canaries, goldfinches, greenfinches, rosefinches, and grosbeaks, among others. Molecular phylogenies obtained with mitochondrial DNA sequences show that these groups of finches are put together, but with some polytomies that have apparently evolved or radiated in parallel. The time of appearance on Earth of all studied groups is suggested to start after Middle Miocene Epoch, around 10 million years ago. Greenfinches (genus Carduelis) may have originated at Eurasian desert margins coming from Rhodopechys obsoleta (dessert finch) or an extinct pale plumage ancestor; it later acquired green plumage suitable for the greenfinch ecological niche, i.e.: woods. Multicolored Eurasian goldfinch (Carduelis carduelis) has a genetic extant ancestor, the green-feathered Carduelis citrinella (citril finch); this was thought to be a canary on phonotypical bases, but it is now included within goldfinches by our molecular genetics phylograms. Speciation events between citril finch and Eurasian goldfinch are related with the Mediterranean Messinian salinity crisis (5 million years ago). Linurgus olivaceus (oriole finch) is presently thriving in Equatorial Africa and was included in a separate genus (Linurgus) by itself on phenotypical bases. Our phylograms demonstrate that it is and old canary. Proposed genus Acanthis does not exist. Twite and linnet form a separate radiation from redpolls.

A LONS O5 an d Luis M . C ARRASCA L6 SUMMARY .— New data on the population, distribution and habitat preferences of the Canary Islands stonechat Saxicola dacotiae . This paper updates estimates of population size, distribution and habitat preferences of the endemic Canary Islands stonechat Saxicola dacotiae on the basis of data gathered across their whole distribution range, the island of Fuerteventura. We surveyed 1,462 0.5-km line transects during the reproductive seasons in 2005 and 2006, distributed across the whole island. Results were used to estimate population size using two methods: stratified estimates of mean densities and sum of estimated abundances across strata, and sum of estimations of abundance in 1 km x 1 km UTM squares based on statistical models built by boosted regression trees (BRT). In both methods we accounted for the effects of bird detectability in transects. Overall, 490 mature individuals were recorded. The Canary Islands stonechat preferred high, steep terrain (particularly above 20% slope and 200 m a.s.l.) and selected negatively the lower and flatter areas comprising most of the island. These habitats were occupied, however, albeit at low density. The highest average densities sampled per habitat (up to 43 birds/km 2) were registered on steep areas (> 11%) with scrub, although the statistical models predicted densities of 66 birds/km 2 in the optimum 1 Grupo de Ecología Terrestre (TEG), Departamento de Ecología, Universidad Autónoma de Madrid .

    Wildlife Protection in Mongolia by R

    196 Oryx Wildlife Protection in Mongolia By R. A. Hibbert CMG Although the Mongolian People's Republic, last refuge of the Przewalski wild horse, is one of the most thinly populated countries in the world, the wildlife decreased considerably in the 30's and 40's. There has been some improvement in recent years, and the Game Law now gives protection to nearly all mammals—the few exceptions include the wolf, understandably in a country with vast herds of domestic animals. Mr. Hibbert, who was British Charge d'Affaires at Ulan Bator from 1964 to 1966, and has since spent a year at Leeds University working on Mongolian materials, assesses the status of the major species of mammals, birds and fish, and describes the game laws. HE Mongolian People's Republic is a huge country with a very T small population. Its area is just over H million square kilometres, its population just over 1,100,000. This gives an average population density of 0-7 per square kilometre or allowing for the concentration of nearly a quarter of the population in the capital at Ulan Bator, a density in rural areas of 0-5 per square kilometre. This seems to be a record low density for a sovereign state. The density of domestic animals—sheep, goats, cows and yaks, horses, camels—is much higher. There are some 24 million domestic animals in the herds, which gives an average density of 15 per square kilometre. Even so, the figures suggest that there is still plenty of room for wild life.

    Bulletin Zoölogisch Museum UNIVERSITEIT VAN AMSTERDAM Vol. 15 No. 3 1996 Ornithological news from the Cape Verde Islands in 1995, including records of species new to the archipelago Cornelis J. Hazevoet Stefan Fischer & Gérard Deloison Summary Several bird observations, supplementary to the recently published review of the avifauna of the Cape Verde Islands (Hazevoet 1995), were made during visits to the islands in 1995. Three species new to the archipelago were observed, viz. Phalaropus lobatus, Gelochelidon niloticaand Sterna maxima. Also reported here are extensions in time and space of both residents and migrant visitors. These include summer records of several species of waders, herons and Platalealeucorodia, and range extensions of resident breeding species, e.g. the first records of Alaemon alaudipes from the island of Sal. In addition, some new data on breeding seabirds on the islands of Sal and Boavista are presented. INTRODUCTION known to be annual visitors in small numbers.
