Annotated Bibliography of Ohio Ornithology Annotated Bibliography of Ohio Ornithology Bird records and studies from Ohio Copyright © 2017 Bill Whan Updated 18 November 2017 Below are references, some briefly annotated as underlined text where helpful, to published works on the ornithology of Ohio. Not covered are works not specific to Ohio, or publications concerning game propagation and introductions of alien species. Out-of-print volumes mentioned are on the shelves of good libraries, and increasingly on the Web. Key words (for example, localities, authors, English names of species) may be searched here. Every effort has been made to include all pertinent sources, but such a bibliography must remain a work in progress. The compiler would be grateful to hear from readers who have corrections or additional entries to suggest. After my labors thus far I am moved to offer my profound gratitude to bibliographers of the past, as well as to librarians of the present. This document incorporates bibliographic entries from Gerrick 1968, which in turn incorporates those of Osborn 1930. Users of this list will welcome the news that SORA has been been made available to the public at http://elibrary.unm.edu/sora/ by the University of New Mexico library; this searchable site offers downloadable copies of older back issues of the Auk, the Wilson Bulletin, and more than ten other important ornithological journals. The Ohio Naturalist and its successor the Ohio Journal of Science are also on line at https://kb.osu.edu/dspace/handle/1811/686 . The various natural history society journals of Cincinnati are on-line at http://library.cincymuseum.org/journals.htm , and past issues of the Cleveland Bird Calendar may be read at http://www.clevelandbirdcalendar.com/cbcarchives.htm .

  • NOTES on the BIRDS of CHIRIKOF ISLAND, ALASKA Jack J
    NOTES ON THE BIRDS OF CHIRIKOF ISLAND, ALASKA JACK J. WITHROW, University of Alaska Museum, 907 Yukon Drive, Fairbanks, Alaska 99775; [email protected] ABSTRACT: Isolated in the western Gulf of Alaska 61 km from nearest land and 74 km southwest of the Kodiak archipelago, Chirikof Island has never seen a focused investigation of its avifauna. Annotated status and abundance for 89 species recorded during eight visits 2008–2014 presented here include eastern range extensions for three Beringian subspecies of the Pacific Wren (Troglodytes pacificus semidiensis), Song Sparrow (Melospiza melodia sanaka), and Gray-crowned Rosy-Finch (Leucost- icte tephrocotis griseonucha). A paucity of breeding bird species is thought to be a result of the long history of the presence of introduced cattle and introduced foxes (Vulpes lagopus), both of which persist to this day. Unique among sizable islands in southwestern Alaska, Chirikof Island (55° 50′ N 155° 37′ W) has escaped focused investigations of its avifauna, owing to its geographic isolation, lack of an all-weather anchorage, and absence of major seabird colonies. In contrast, nearly every other sizable island or group of islands in this region has been visited by biologists, and they or their data have added to the published literature on birds: the Aleutian Is- lands (Gibson and Byrd 2007), the Kodiak archipelago (Friedmann 1935), the Shumagin Islands (Bailey 1978), the Semidi Islands (Hatch and Hatch 1983a), the Sandman Reefs (Bailey and Faust 1980), and other, smaller islands off the Alaska Peninsula (Murie 1959, Bailey and Faust 1981, 1984). With the exception of most of the Kodiak archipelago these islands form part of the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge (AMNWR), and many of these publications are focused largely on seabirds.

Natural History Collections Glossary Bibliography Biographical Sketch Summary The oldest roots of biological systematics are found in folk taxonomies, which are nearly universally developed by humankind to cope with the diversity of the living world. The logical background to the first modern attempts to rationalize the classifications was provided by Aristotle's logic, as embodied in Cesalpino's 16th century classification of plants. Major advances were provided in the following century by Ray, who paved the way for the work of Linnaeus, the author of standard treatises still regarded as the starting point of modern classification and nomenclature. Important conceptual progress was due to the French comparative anatomists of the early 19th century UNESCO(Cuvier, Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire) – andEOLSS to the first work in comparative embryology of von Baer. Biological systematics, however, was still searching for a unifying principle that could provide the foundation for a natural, rather than conventional, classification.SAMPLE This principle wasCHAPTERS provided by evolutionary theory: its effects on classification are already present in Lamarck, but their full deployment only happened in the 20th century.

In considering recently certain questions of ornithological nomenclature it became necessary to examine the works of Brisson and Linnaeus in con- siderable detail and this-examination finally led to a careful collation of Brisson's 'Ornithologia,' published in 1760, with the sixth, tenth, and twelfth editions of Linnaeus's 'Systema Naturae,' published respectively in 1748, 1758, and 1766. As every systematic ornithologist has had occasion to learn, Linnaeus's treatment of the class Aves was based on very imperfect knowledge of the suabject. As is well-known, this great systematist was primarily a botanist, secondarily a zoologist, and only incidentally a mammalogist and ornithol- ogist.
