And Giant Guitarfish (Rhynchobatus Djiddensis)
VIRAL DISCOVERY IN BLUEGILL SUNFISH (LEPOMIS MACROCHIRUS) AND GIANT GUITARFISH (RHYNCHOBATUS DJIDDENSIS) BY HISTOPATHOLOGY EVALUATION, METAGENOMIC ANALYSIS AND NEXT GENERATION SEQUENCING by JENNIFER ANNE DILL (Under the Direction of Alvin Camus) ABSTRACT The rapid growth of aquaculture production and international trade in live fish has led to the emergence of many new diseases. The introduction of novel disease agents can result in significant economic losses, as well as threats to vulnerable wild fish populations. Losses are often exacerbated by a lack of agent identification, delay in the development of diagnostic tools and poor knowledge of host range and susceptibility. Examples in bluegill sunfish (Lepomis macrochirus) and the giant guitarfish (Rhynchobatus djiddensis) will be discussed here. Bluegill are popular freshwater game fish, native to eastern North America, living in shallow lakes, ponds, and slow moving waterways. Bluegill experiencing epizootics of proliferative lip and skin lesions, characterized by epidermal hyperplasia, papillomas, and rarely squamous cell carcinoma, were investigated in two isolated poopulations. Next generation genomic sequencing revealed partial DNA sequences of an endogenous retrovirus and the entire circular genome of a novel hepadnavirus. Giant Guitarfish, a rajiform elasmobranch listed as ‘vulnerable’ on the IUCN Red List, are found in the tropical Western Indian Ocean. Proliferative skin lesions were observed on the ventrum and caudal fin of a juvenile male quarantined at a public aquarium following international shipment. Histologically, lesions consisted of papillomatous epidermal hyperplasia with myriad large, amphophilic, intranuclear inclusions. Deep sequencing and metagenomic analysis produced the complete genomes of two novel DNA viruses, a typical polyomavirus and a second unclassified virus with a 20 kb genome tentatively named Colossomavirus. -

FIELD GUIDES BIRDING TOURS: Colombia: Bogota, the Magdalena
Field Guides Tour Report Colombia: Bogota, the Magdalena Valley, and Santa Marta 2014 Jan 11, 2014 to Jan 27, 2014 Jesse Fagan & Trevor Ellery For our tour description, itinerary, past triplists, dates, fees, and more, please VISIT OUR TOUR PAGE. A fun group and the most productive tour we have had to date! We observed 582 bird taxa in 17 days of birding, which beat our record last year of 555 by a bunch. As we fine-tune our birding route and learn more about Colombian birds things just seem to get better and better. This year we saw 33 endemics and loads of interesting subspecies and near-endemics. Highlights included a female Blue- billed Curassow, Kelp Gull(s) at Los Camerones (only the second time it has been recorded in Colombia), Dwarf and Pavonine cuckoos (the latter a lifer for Trevor!), a splendid Crested Owl, Sapphire- bellied Hummingbird (nice comparisons with Sapphire-throated), Double-banded Graytail in the coffee finca below Reinita Cielo Azul lodge, the always elusive Santa Marta Bush-Tyrant and antpitta, Turquoise Dacnis, and singing Yellow-bellied Siskin. It is really hard to pick just one from so many! I want to thank all of you again for a really enjoyable trip. Thanks also to Trevor Ellery, our local guide, and Giovanni, our driver, for their hard work. I look forward to seeing you again in the field. Bird On. --Jesse a.k.a. Motmot (from Lima, Peru) KEYS FOR THIS LIST One of the following keys may be shown in brackets for individual species as appropriate: * = heard only, I = introduced, E = endemic, N = nesting, a = austral migrant, b = boreal migrant This dazzling Black-cheeked Mountain-Tanager is a Santa Marta endemic; it was one of 33 endemics we tallied on this species-rich tour. -

HABITAT SELECTION BY WATERFOWL OF ARGENTINE ISLA GRANDE MILTON W. WELLER Isla Grande is the main island of the archipelago at the tip of South Amer- ica known as Tierra de1 Fuego. Current knowledge of the birds of Isla Grande has been ably summarized by Humphrey et al. (1970). As part of a study of austral waterfowl, I spent the period from 10 January to 9 Feb- ruary 1972 at three locations on Isla Grande. I recorded 84 of 108 bird spe- cies recorded by Humphrey et al. (op. cit.), including 15 of the 17 known species of waterfowl. The purpose of this paper is to discuss habitat selec- tion of Isla Grande waterfowl. Observations are also presented on their pa- rental care, brood sizes and reproductive behavior. Data on stage of the reproductive cycle were gathered by age classification of broods according to the system described by Taber (1969:330) : Class I = downy young; II = partly down and partly contour feathers; III = full juvenal body plum- age but not yet flying. Observations spanned two major study areas, the southern mountainous beech forest along the Beagle Channel and the open steppe zone of northern Isla Grande. Nineteen days were spent at Estancia Harberton on the Beagle Channel, four days from Ushuaia west to Lapataia, and nine days at Estancia Viamonte and the region west and north of Rio Grande (Fig. 1). STUDY AREAS Estancia Harberton is along the Beagle Channel in an area of shoreline highly dis- sected with estuaries, bays and offshore islands. The terrain is rolling at sea level, rising in a series of hills to mountains of nearly 915 m. -

ste documento es un paseo en el mundo maravilloso de estas aves acuáticas, en él se encontrarán datos sobre las razas silvestres, los orígenes de los patos domésticos, las razas, su hábitat, etc. También nos da diferentes indicaciones para la óptima crianza en cautividad. ●●● En memoria de las civilizaciones antiguas que supieron domesticar este bello animal. Con agradecimiento profundo por habernos hecho llegar su maravilloso legado. ●●● Patos y Ánades – Crianza y utilización 1 1 Orden ANSERIFORMES/Familia ANATIDAE Muchas especies de patos se adaptan fácilmente a la cautividad y varias especies salvajes tropicales parecerían tener un buen potencial para la semidomesticación en los países del Tercer Mundo de los cuales son originarios. Los patos domésticos tienen una gran importancia como fuente de alimentos en Asia, especialmente en el sudeste. Allí sus huevos son lo más importante en tanto que hacia el norte, la producción de carne toma mayor significación. Por el contrario, los patos son por el momento de importancia menor en África, América Latina y Cercano Oriente. En América del Sur hay muchas evidencias de su consumo y su domesticación y esto desde épocas más antiguas a los Inkas. Así se han podido encontrar restos óseos en tumbas preincaicas y también diversas artesanías hechas con la pluma del pato real. En la actualidad el género Cairina sigue instalado en una especie de laguna artificial dentro de la ciudadela de Chan Chan, la ciudad de barro más grande en el mundo precolombino. Todo tiende a indicar que los antiguos peruanos supieron manejar con sapienza la crianza de los patos, criándolos a manera de los auquénidos, en semi libertad. -
