The influence of space and time on the genetic architecture of rail species (Aves: Rallidae) A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Evolutionary Ecology at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand JUAN CARLOS GARCIA RAMIREZ 2014 Abstract The main subject of this PhD research is the study of the underlying processes of evolutionary changes that lead to biological diversity. Such processes include those operating within and between populations (population divergence), as well as those operating among species (speciation), above the species level (e.g. genera and families) and the mechanisms that promote these divisions. Fundamental to these processes are the effects of genetic, demographic, geographical, ecological, behavioural and environmental factors on diversification. Rails (Aves: Rallidae) are used as an example to address central questions related to how these biological entities originated, when was that biological diversity generated, and why this biodiversity is distributed as it is. This thesis has been divided into four main chapters/papers for convenience to achieve this aim. In the first chapter, complete mitochondrial genomes and fossil data are used to provide a likely estimated time of rail ecology. I estimated that the origin and diversification of crown group Rallidae was during the Eocene about 40.5 (49–33) Mya with evidence of intrafamiliar diversification from Late Eocene to Miocene time.

  • Impacts of Deforestation on the Conservation Status of Endemic Birds in the North Maluku Endemic Bird Area from 1990-2003
    Impacts of Deforestation on the Conservation Status of Endemic Birds in the North Maluku Endemic Bird Area from 1990-2003 John Vetter Dr. Jennifer Swenson, Advisor May 2009 Master's Project submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Environmental Management degree in the Nicholas School of the Environment, Duke University May 2009 Abstract Satellite imagery has become a powerful tool to analyze land-use trends across large portions of the globe, including remote areas where access is logistically or political impossible. Due to the rapid pace of deforestation, the high biodiversity contained within, and the difficulty of access and standardized field surveys, the tropics are a key front for using remote sensing to identify target areas for conservation action and, more recently, to inform species-level trends. This study focuses on deforestation in eastern Indonesia, which has some of the highest rates of forest clearing in the world from mining, plantation expansion, timber extraction, and shifting agriculture. Forest loss on the highly biodiverse islands of the North Maluku district in eastern Indonesia was examined from 1990 to 2003 and the conservation status of 39 restricted-range avian species found in the area was re-assessed from these trends. Of the land area available for analysis, forests declined from 86% to just under 70% in these thirteen years, with much of this occurring in the lowlands (below 400m). Consequently, those species with large amounts of their range at low elevations were disproportionately affected, with 10 out of 25 endemic species being under more threat than currently listed by the IUCN Red List and only 3 being considered safer than currently listed.

    Volume 60, Number 1 September 2014 San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge Complex From remnant sand dunes to tidal salt marsh, from rocky, offshore islands to verdant seasonal wetlands, the San Francisco Bay Na- tional Wildlife Refuge Complex is a collection of seven National Wildlife Refuges (NWR) administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS)—Antioch Dunes, San Pablo Bay, Marin Islands, and the Don Ed- wards NWRs in the San Francisco Bay Area, the Ellicott Slough and Salinas River NWRs in the Monterey Bay Area, and the Farallon Islands. These refuges are devoted to preserv- ing migratory birds, endangered species, and other fish, wildlife, plants and their habitats. The refuges also offer wildlife-dependent public uses including hunting, fishing, wildlife photography, nature observation, interpreta- tion, and environmental education. Despite booming industries and growing populations in one of the largest urban areas in the coun- try, these National Wildlife Refuges preserve incredibly diverse and healthy ecosystems.
