Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 T o Sarah who shares my fascination for birds Abstract Breeding biology and ecology of the great cormorant Phalacrocorax carbo lucidus at Lake Naivasha, Kenya R. Brooks Childress This thesis examines breeding season timing and seasonal declines in reproductive success in pisdvores nesting inland near the equator. Also explored are the effects of sexual character intensity and nest-site characteristics on breeding timing, fecundity and mate choice, as well as the effects of resource partitioning between two similar piscivores.P. carbo lucidus is a relatively common, but little-studied, piscivore of sub- Saharan Africa. Lake Naivasha (0° 46’ S) is reputed to be seasonally-constant in fish production. -
Birds of Manitoba Document Is First Split Into Larger Functional Groups, Following the AOU Checklist of North American Birds
Manitoba(Envirothon Birds(of(Manitoba By:(Olwy6(Friesen Editors:(Jennifer(Br:son,(Brock(Houndle,(Janine(McManus,(and(Andrew(Oly6yk Birds&of&Manitoba Manitoba has a great diversity of birds, reflecting the wide diversity of ecosystems and seasonal shifts in resource availability. Over 145 bird species live within Manitoba, with over 88% of species migrating annually. Manitoba is quickly acquiring a reputation to be one of the best places in the world to view a large variety of birds. As our province is located in the geographic centre of the continent, we host a combination of both northern and southern species, as well as birds from both the east and west. Birds make up the class Aves. The taxonomy of genera and species as well as common and scientific names used in this book follow the seventh edition of the American Ornithologists’ Union (AOU). This document is designed to give a brief overview of many of the important bird species living within Manitoba. The document is by no means an exhaustive list of all the species within the province, as many of the songbirds are not included, as well as domestic species and rare bird visitors. Birds of Manitoba document is first split into larger functional groups, following the AOU Checklist of North American birds. Each entry aims to give a brief description of the appearance and size of the organism, a description of their songs and calls, some life history characteristics, current population status, as well as any unique features of the specific species. Please note that although many species have different plumages depending on sex and age not all may be shown in the accompanying picture. -

HIERONYMUS has been approved for the Department of Biological Sciences and the College of Arts and Sciences by Lawrence M. Witmer Chang Ying-Chien Professor of Paleontology Benjamin M. Ogles Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT HIERONYMUS, TOBIN L., Ph.D., March 2009, Biological Sciences Osteological Correlates of Cephalic Skin Structures in Amniota: Documenting the Evolution of Display and Feeding Structures with Fossil Data (254 pp.) Director of Dissertation: Lawrence M. Witmer The research presented here is an examination of the morphology and histology of several broad categories of skin structures in living amniotes, together with analyses of the osteological correlates associated with each skin category. The epidermal horn and armor-like dermis of extant rhinoceros are examined in detail, and the evolution of both of these skin structures is reconstructed in phylogenetic context from fossil evidence. The evolution of rhinoceros dermal armor is strongly associated with the evolution of shearing tusks used in fighting behaviors, and precedes the evolution of epidermal horns by ~20 Ma. The distribution and morphology of cephalic scales, rhamphothecal plates, and feathers in Sauropsida is then examined in an analysis of evolutionary modularity. -

The Avian Tongue Nancy E
The Avian Tongue Nancy E. Johnston June, 2014 Birds are considered unique in the animal kingdom for many reasons. Some of the classic reasons are: having feathers, not having teeth, and having the ability to fly. The one feature that is not mentioned is their tongue. It should be, because of the wide variety of shapes and features that bird tongues have. A bird’s tongue can be very long, very short, feathered at the tip, have barbs of various sizes, and in some species show specific adaptations for feeding. This doesn’t mean that birds that have similar adaptations are closely related. In many species the tongue has evolved through convergent evolution. Convergent evolution is the independent evolution of similar features in species not closely related. While this paper concentrates on the tongue, you can’t separate the tongue from the rest of the oral cavity. For example, the size, shape, and structure of the beak is extremely important since it works with the tongue to catch/collect, manipulate and swallow food (Lucas 1895). Depending on the species, the beak is equally or more important than the tongue for feeding. It also should be noted that even though some birds’ tongues show a remarkable adaptation to a particular feeding method, it doesn’t mean that they don’t eat other foods. An example is the hummingbird. Their tongue is adapted to acquiring nectar, but insects are also an important element of their diet. This paper is divided into four sections, the first section, ‘Avian Tongue Morphology’, describes the tongue and its structure. -

Oh lento amor, salvaje primavera que desarraiga su colmada copa y navega la nave de la especie con un fluvial temblor de agua sagrada desplazando su cielo caudaloso hacia las islas rojas del estiércol. Yo quiero sumergirme en vuestras alas, ir hacia el Sur durmiendo, sostenido por toda la espesura temblorosa. Ir en el río oscuro de las flechas con una voz perdida, dividirme en la palpitación inseparable. Después, lluvia del vuelo, las calcáreas islas abren su frío paraíso donde cae la luna del plumaje, la tormenta enlutada de las plumas. -
