  • A New Parrot Taxon from the Yucatán Peninsula, Mexico—Its Position Within Genus Amazona Based on Morphology and Molecular Phylogeny
    A new parrot taxon from the Yucatán Peninsula, Mexico—its position within genus Amazona based on morphology and molecular phylogeny Tony Silva1, Antonio Guzmán2, Adam D. Urantówka3 and Paweª Mackiewicz4 1 Miami, FL, United States of America 2 Laboratorio de Ornitología, Facultad de Ciencias Biológicas, Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León, Nuevo León, Mexico 3 Department of Genetics, Wroclaw University of Environmental and Life Sciences, Wroclaw, Poland 4 Faculty of Biotechnology, University of Wrocªaw, Wrocªaw, Poland ABSTRACT Parrots (Psittaciformes) are a diverse group of birds which need urgent protection. However, many taxa from this order have an unresolved status, which makes their conservation difficult. One species-rich parrot genus is Amazona, which is widely distributed in the New World. Here we describe a new Amazona form, which is endemic to the Yucatán Peninsula. This parrot is clearly separable from other Amazona species in eleven morphometric characters as well as call and behavior. The clear differences in these features imply that the parrot most likely represents a new species. In contrast to this, the phylogenetic tree based on mitochondrial markers shows that this parrot groups with strong support within A. albifrons from Central America, which would suggest that it is a subspecies of A. albifrons. However, taken together tree topology tests and morphometric analyses, we can conclude that the new parrot represents a recently evolving species, whose taxonomic status should be further confirmed. This lineage diverged from its closest relative about 120,000 years ago and was subjected to accelerated morphological and behavioral changes like some other representatives of the Submitted 14 December 2016 genus Amazona.

For the same reason he portrayed in his paintings many exotic species of mammals and birds which were regarded as very rare and precious, perhaps such as the cardinal lory, Chalcopsitta cardinalis Gray, 1849, and/or the black lory, Chalcopsitta atra atra (Scopoli, 1786), native to the most distant Indo- Pacific archipelagos. Indeed, in Europe foreign animals were often kept in the menageries of the aristocracy, representing an authentic status symbol that underscored the affluence and social position of their owners. This paper provides the opportunity for a reflection on the origins of the trade of exotic birds - or parts of them – between the West Pacific islands and Europe.

  • A Systematic Study of the Main Arteries in the Region of the Heart—Aves Xviii
    A SYSTEMATIC STUDY OF THE MAIN ARTERIES IN THE REGION OF THE HEART—AVES XVIII. PsiTTACIFORMES, PART I1 FRED H. GLENNY Department of Zoology and Entomology, The Ohio State University, Columbus 10 It is important to point out that the nomenclature and species designation of many of the earlier writers, particularly those writing on avian morphology, have used names which cannot be truly identified in a great many instances, or only with considerable difficulty and uncertainty. Furthermore, due to more recent taxonomic studies, many species have been shifted from one family or even order to another and, in addition, many species and even genera have been regrouped within the orders. A consideration of present taxonomic positions in view of anatomical evidences should aid in a better understanding of specific and family relationships. Important morphologic deviation of species within any genus should be adequate basis for reassignment of the aberrant forms. Garrod (1873) has pointed out that among the Psittaciformes, a wide variety of arrangements of the carotid arteries can be observed. Garrod's species designa- tions, however, do not always directly correspond with the names which are designated by Peters (1937). As a result, Garrod's identifications cannot be regarded as altogether accurate in light of present-day nomenclature. It will suffice, however, for discussions in which approximate species designations are satisfactory.2 Strigops habroptilus G. R. Gray, Chalcopsitta cardinalis (G. R. Gray) (Lorius cardinalis), Eos histrio histrio (P. L. S. Miiller) (Eos indica), Kakatoe roseicapilla roseicapilla (Vieillot) (Eolophus roseicapillus), Glossopsitta concinna (Shaw) (Trichoglossus concinnus), Nymphicus hollandicus (Kerr) (Calopsitta novae- hollandiae), Prioniturus sp., Psittacula krameri manillensis (Bechstein), Psittacula alexandri alexandri (Linnaeus) (Palaeornis alexandri), Psittacula cyanocephala cyanocephala (Linnaeus), (Aprosmictus scapulatus) is probably Alisterus scapularis scapularis (Lichtenstein), Agapornis roseicollis (Vieillot), Loriculus sp.

  • Phylogenetic Relationships Within Parrots (Psittacidae) Inferred from Mitochondrial Cytochrome-B Gene Sequences
    ZOOLOGICAL SCIENCE 23: 191–198 (2006) 2006 Zoological Society of Japan Phylogenetic Relationships Within Parrots (Psittacidae) Inferred from Mitochondrial Cytochrome-b Gene Sequences Dwi Astuti1,2*†, Noriko Azuma2, Hitoshi Suzuki2 and Seigo Higashi2 1Zoological Division, Research Center for Biology, Jl.

Box 25 Bogor, Indonesia 2Graduate School of Environmental Earth Science, Hokkaido University, Kitaku Kita 10 Nishi 5, Sapporo 060-0810, Japan Blood and tissue samples of 40 individuals including 27 parrot species (15 genera; 3 subfamilies) were collected in Indonesia. Their phylogenetic relationships were inferred from 907 bp of the mito- chondrial cytochrome-b gene, using the maximum-parsimony method, the maximum-likelihood method and the neighbor-joining method with Kimura two-parameter distance. The phylogenetic analysis revealed that (1) cockatoos (subfamily Cacatuinae) form a monophyletic sister group to other parrot groups; (2) within the genus Cacatua, C. goffini and C. sanguinea form a sister group to a clade containing other congeners; (3) subfamily Psittacinae emerged as paraphyletic, consist- ing of three clades, with a clade of Psittaculirostris grouping with subfamily Loriinae rather than with other Psittacinae; (4) lories and lorikeets (subfamily Loriinae) emerged as monophyletic, with Charmosyna placentis a basal sister group to other Loriinae, which comprised the subclades Lorius; Trichoglossus+Eos; and Chalcopsitta+Pseudeos. Key words: phylogeny, parrots, Psittacidae, mitochondrial, cytochrome-b chromosome (Christidist et al., 1991b) data suggested that INTRODUCTION cockatoos are distinct from lorikeets and other parrots, The bird group of parrots (Order Psittaciformes) com- which seem to be closely related to one another, del Hoyo prises approximately 350 species in 83 genera (Smith, et al.
