  • The Solomon Islands
    THE SOLOMON ISLANDS 14 SEPTEMBER – 7 OCTOBER 2007 TOUR REPORT LEADER: MARK VAN BEIRS Rain, mud, sweat, steep mountains, shy, skulky birds, shaky logistics and an airline with a dubious reputation, that is what the Solomon Islands tour is all about, but these forgotten islands in the southwest Pacific also hold some very rarely observed birds that very few birders will ever have the privilege to add to their lifelist. Birdquest’s fourth tour to the Solomons went without a hiccup. Solomon Airlines did a great job and never let us down, it rained regularly and we cursed quite a bit on the steep mountain trails, but the birds were out of this world. We birded the islands of Guadalcanal, Rennell, Gizo and Malaita by road, cruised into Ranongga and Vella Lavella by boat, and trekked up into the mountains of Kolombangara, Makira and Santa Isabel. The bird of the tour was the incredible and truly bizarre Solomon Islands Frogmouth that posed so very, very well for us. The fantastic series of endemics ranged from Solomon Sea Eagles, through the many pigeons and doves - including scope views of the very rare Yellow-legged Pigeon and the bizarre Crested Cuckoo- Dove - and parrots, from cockatoos to pygmy parrots, to a biogeographer’s dream array of myzomelas, monarchs and white-eyes. A total of 146 species were seen (and another 5 heard) and included most of the available endemics, but we also enjoyed a close insight into the lifestyle and culture of this traditional Pacific country, and into the complex geography of the beautiful forests and islet-studded reefs.

  • Reduction in the Electrocution of Birds on Power Lines Oleg Goroshko
    Reduction in the electrocution of birds on power lines Prepared by Oleg Goroshko Introduction to The electrocution of birds on 6-10 kV power lines (PLs) is a serious problem in the Daurian the Case Study steppe in Russia and in other regions of Russia, Mongolia and other countries. Birds are electrocuted mainly on 6-10 kV power lines with non-isolated wires and grounded concrete poles. This impacts many populations of raptors including many rare migratory species of falcons and eagles. Daursky State Nature Biosphere Reserve and neighboring Daurian steppe areas are important habitats for breeding and migratory Saker Falcon, Steppe Eagle, Golden Eagle and many other rare species of raptor. What was done The work was carried out from 2010-2018 in the Daurian steppe region in Transbaikalia, and when and South-East Siberia, Russia. where did you do • In 2010-2012, we inspected more than 200 km of PLs on areas neighboring the Daursky it? State Nature Biosphere Reserve. The average density of electrocuted birds was 0.14 dead birds per pillar and we determined that electrocution was the main cause of the serious population decline of globally threatened Saker Falcon (Falco cherrug). • We met with PL owners to discuss our analysis of the PL surveys on damaged birds and our recommendations to eliminate the problem. From 2012, the owners began installing bird protection devices (BPDs - plastic caps covering the isolator and part of the bare wire) on PLs according to our recommendations. • Since 2013, we have monitored the condition of the BPDs installed and identified shortcomings which the PL owners corrected.

  • New Insights Into the Phylogenetics and Population Structure of the Prairie Falcon (Falco Mexicanus) Jacqueline M
    Doyle et al. BMC Genomics (2018) 19:233 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12864-018-4615-z RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access New insights into the phylogenetics and population structure of the prairie falcon (Falco mexicanus) Jacqueline M. Doyle1,2*, Douglas A. Bell3,4, Peter H. Bloom5, Gavin Emmons6, Amy Fesnock7, Todd E. Katzner8, Larry LaPré9, Kolbe Leonard10, Phillip SanMiguel11, Rick Westerman11 and J. Andrew DeWoody2,12 Abstract Background: Management requires a robust understanding of between- and within-species genetic variability, however such data are still lacking in many species. For example, although multiple population genetics studies of the peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus) have been conducted, no similar studies have been done of the closely- related prairie falcon (F. mexicanus) and it is unclear how much genetic variation and population structure exists across the species’ range. Furthermore, the phylogenetic relationship of F. mexicanus relative to other falcon species is contested. We utilized a genomics approach (i.e., genome sequencing and assembly followed by single nucleotide polymorphism genotyping) to rapidly address these gaps in knowledge. Results: We sequenced the genome of a single female prairie falcon and generated a 1.17 Gb (gigabases) draft genome assembly. We generated maximum likelihood phylogenetic trees using complete mitochondrial genomes as well as nuclear protein-coding genes. This process provided evidence that F. mexicanus is an outgroup to the clade that includes the peregrine falcon and members of the subgenus Hierofalco. We annotated > 16,000 genes and almost 600,000 high-quality single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the nuclear genome, providing the raw material for a SNP assay design featuring > 140 gene-associated markers and a molecular-sexing marker.
