The Yellow-crowned Night Heron Nyctanassa violacea (Aves: Pelecaniformes: Ardeidae) in the Azores and Madeira Archipelagos: a new species for the Western Palearctic. Arquipelago. Life and Marine Sciences 31: 37-43. This paper presents and describes the first confirmed occurrence of the Yellow-crowned Night Heron Nyctanassa violacea in the Azores, which also represents the first record for Europe and the Western Palearctic. We also present and discuss subsequent reports of the species in Macaronesia. Several hypotheses may help to explain the occurrence of this species in this part of the Atlantic, including disorientation caused by strong winds and increasing observation pressure. However, further studies are necessary to assess the part played by the different factors in the occurrence of new vagrant individuals/species in Mac- aronesia.

  • First Chilean Record of Yellow-Crowned Night Heron Nyctanassa

First-cycle Yellow-crowned Night Heron Nyctanassa violacea in formative plumage (note some post-juvenile scapulars); note the relatively long legs, stout dark bill, and fine pale flecking on the wing-coverts; Arica, Región I, Chile, 11 November 2009 (Steve N. G. Howell) On the Pacific coast of South America, Yellow-crowned Night Herons occur regularly south only to northernmost Peru1, c.1,000 km north of the Chilean border. Vagrants occur south very rarely to Lima, Peru1, but the species was not recorded in 16 years (1953–67) of field work in southern Peru2. There appear to be no previous records of this species in Chile3–5. The relatively dark plumage of the Arica individual (compared to birds in North and Middle America) suggests the race First Chilean record of calignis, which is also most likely Yellow-crowned Night Heron on geographic grounds.

The students will have the opportunity to see and identify live birds at our feeders as well as simulated wooden birds placed along a trail. This trail is designed to give students practice locating and identifying common species of birds. The twelve stations that are part of the trail highlight a variety of birds and habitats. The trail is “teacher friendly” in that the accompanying teacher’s manual provides photographs and information about each bird along the trail. OBJECTIVES: • Students will be able to track the evolution of birds from their reptilian ancestors and recognize the first fossilized remains of a bird-like organism. • Students will be able to list the adaptations that birds have evolved that allows them to fly, feed, build nests and mate. • Students will gain experience using field guides and binoculars to identify birds. • Students will gain insight into the study of ornithology, and to bird watching as a recreational pastime. • Students will be able to state the value of birds, the role they play in the natural environment, the threats to their existence, and ways in which we can all help our feathered friends. • Teachers will learn how to conduct a ‘bird activity’ that is user friendly and can be used to enrich their student’s knowledge of ‘back yard’ wildlife.

    MISCELLANEOUS PUBLICATIONS MUSEUM OF ZOOLOGY, UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN, NO. 150 Systematics and Evolutionary Rela tionships Among the Herons (~rdeidae) BY ROBERT B. PAYNE and CHRISTOPHER J. RISLEY Ann Arbor MUSEUM OF ZOOLOGY, UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN August 13, 1976 MISCELLANEOUS PUBLICATIONS MUSEUM OF ZOOLOGY, UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN FRANCIS C. EVANS, EDITOR The publications of the Museum of Zoology, University of Michigan, consist of two series-the Occasional Papers and the Miscellaneous Publications. Both series were founded by Dr. Bryant Walker, Mr. Bradshaw H. Swales, and Dr. W. W. Newcomb. The Occasional Papers, publication of which was begun in 1913, serve as a medium for original studies based principally upon the collections in the Museum. They are issued separately. When a sufficient number of pages has been printed to make a volume, a title page, table of contents, and an index are supplied to libraries and individuals on the mailing list for the series. The Miscellaneous Publications, which include papers on field and museum techniques, monographic studies, and other contributions not within the scope of the Occasional Papers, are published separately. It is not intended that they be grouped into volumes. Each number has a title page and, when necessary, a table of contents. A complete list of publications on Birds, Fishes, Insects, Mammals, Mollusks, and Reptiles and Amphibians is available.

  • A Nomenclatural Summary of the Plant and Animal Names Based on Images in Mark Catesby’S Natural History (1729–1747)
    Reveal, J.L. 2012. A nomenclatural summary of the plant and animal names based on images in Mark Catesby’s Natural History (1729–1747). Phytoneuron 2012-11: 1–32. Published 1 February 2012. ISSN 2153 733X A NOMENCLATURAL SUMMARY OF THE PLANT AND ANIMAL NAMES BASED ON IMAGES IN MARK CATESBY’S NATURAL HISTORY (1729–1747) JAMES L. REVEAL L.H. Bailey Hortorium Department of Plant Biology Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14853-4301 e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT The English naturalist Mark Catesby is best known for his two volume work entitled Natural History of Carolina, Florida and the Bahama Islands wherein he described and illustrated numerous plants and animals found mainly in the eastern North American English colonies of Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia, and the Bahamas. This monumental work, published in parts from 1729 until 1747, became an important source of new species described by the Swedish natural Carl Linnaeus in the 1750s and 1760s. The summary presented here attempts to account for all instances where a new taxon was proposed wherein a reference was made by the author of the name to a published plate in Catesby. The nomenclatural status of each image is evaluated with a footnote providing a reference to both where the name was proposed and who, in the case of plants, designated a lectotype. Images are not considered to be types under the rules governing zoological nomenclature. No attempt is made here to account for the subsequent neotypification of names established under that code. KEY WORDS: Mark Catesby, nomenclature, typification, North America The English naturalist and artist, Mark Catesby, was born on 24 March 1683 (Julian) in the village of the Castle Hedingham, Essex, as the fifth son of John Catesby, a lawyer, and Elizabeth Jekyll, the daughter of a prosperous family of lawyers.

  • Xvi. List of Common and Scientific Names
    XVI. LIST OF COMMON AND SCIENTIFIC NAMES Listed below are the scientific and common names of all species identified in the text. The scientific name is usually provided (parenthetically) at the first usage of the common name; subsequently, the common name alone is used throughout the text. Scientific names are presented in taxonomic groupings to the Order, except for the Monera and Fungi, which are presented only by Phylum. Within Order, scientific names are presented alphabetically. The taxonomies were obtained from the Integrated Taxonomic Information System (U.S. Department of Agriculture et al., 2005), the National Plant Data Center (U.S. Department of Agriculture, 2005), the National Biological Information Infrastructure (U.S. Geological Survey, 2006), and the Systema Naturae 2000 (Brands, 2005).
