Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do you come up with the idea to list all the birds in the world including the subspecies and to give all birds English names? There is a reason for it - my favorite saying, whose author is unknown: "Everyone said that ́s not possible - then there was one who did not know that and just did it!" I am an animal photographer and probably a little bit crazy. I ́ve built a complete animal database for mammals and birds over the last decade. This facilitates my work in determining and archiving images and assigning keywords, especially among the many subspecies. With this book, I would like to give all birding friends and ornithologists a complete overview in English. For this I have given unique English names to all subspecies. The naming should not meet any scientific requirements. The names are based on translations from the Latin name, geographical distribution areas and the names of the discoverers. The entries consist of the scientific name, the English name, the distribution areas and the author. I wish you a lot of fun with this book, but especially while watching the fascinating birdlife. fotolulu

Download or read book Wildlife Conservation Society Birds of Brazil written by Robert S. Ridgely and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2016-07-15 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brazil is the fifth largest country in the world and is one of the planet's richest places for bird diversity, especially when it comes to the number of endemic species. Brazil's Atlantic Forest region is one of the most dazzling of all. Immediately surrounding São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, this area of Brazil is also a relatively accessible area to birders from around the world. In the Birds of Brazil Field Guides, the Wildlife Conservation Society brings together a top international team to do justice to the incredible diversity of Brazilian birds. This second guide presents 927 bird species, 863 illustrated, that occur in just the southeastern Atlantic Forest biome (Mata Atlântica in Portuguese). Of these species, 140 are endemic and 105 near endemic to just this region; 83 of these are threatened. Modern and compact, this field guide provides illustrations of unparalleled quality, key field marks, and regional range maps to facilitate easy recognition of all species normally occurring in this vibrant and critically important area of Brazil.
Download or read book A Study of the Spotted Tinamous and the Pale Spotted Tinamous of Argentina written by Gardiner Bump and published by . This book was released on 1969 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tinamous are the principal upland game birds of South America. The spotted tinamou group Nothura is the most widely distributed and abundant of the tinamous resident in Argentina. It inhabits short grasslands, often rather intensively grazed and utilized but is not dependent upon adjacent cultivation. Various species appear to a climatically adaptable to the southern and southwestern United States. This study presents in detail the characteristics, habitat and climatic requirements, life history, and propagation of the several species and subspecies of spotted and pale spotted tinamous as a means of evaluating the desirability of and potential for a successful trial introduction in the United States.

Download or read book A Zoogeographic Analysis of the South American Chaco Avifauna written by Lester L. Short and published by . This book was released on 1975 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The South American chaco is centrally situated on the border of the tropics and is xeric-adapted woodland with some open areas, wet places, and savanna. Driest in the center and wettest in the eastern pantanal savanna, the chaco experiences occasional frost throughout. About 409 avian species, including 22 that barely reach its borders, are resident or breed in the chaco. These number 218 nonpasserine birds, 100 suboscine passerines, including 52 tyrant flycatchers, 20 oscine passerines of Old World groups, and 71 New World nine-primaried oscines. Each species is treated taxonomically (based on a systematic reappraisal of each taxon), ecologically, and distributionally. There seem to be more superspecies in the chaco and in the tropics generally than in temperate North America. Most chaco species (252) are endemic in South America, but 28 percent reach Middle America, 12 percent attain North America, and 3 percent reach the Old World. A transatlantic distributional history is possible for as many as one-seventh the number of chaco species reaching North America. Only one species (Eudromia formosa) is endemic to the chaco; 11 others mainly occupy that area; five subspecies are endemic. Such low endemicity reflects the central location and accessibility of the chaco, and probably rather drastic historical changes in its extent and location. Major range disjunctions in chaco species and superspecies frequently involve northern South America, with Amazonia the apparent barrier. Isolates in the Andes and in the coastal Peru region are fewer, but well differentiated. The caatinga is another area of differentiation. Zones of avian interaction (70) and narrow range disjunctions (28) involving chaco birds show isolates and former isolates mainly in southeastern Brazil, in the campo-caatinga region, and in the Andes, indicating that barriers (e.g., grassland, water) exist or formerly existed between the paired forms. Significantly more nine-primaried oscines and fewer nonpasserine birds show interactions and narrow disjunctions compared with proportions of these species in the chaco avifauna. This perhaps reflects greater speciation and radiation in the nine-primaried oscines, a group still relatively new to southern South America. Primary intergradation in the 276 polytypic chaco species indicates the coincidence of racial borders with major environmental features such as the Amazon and Paraguay rivers, and with certain regions (campo cerrado, Andean base). Major size differences among races of 81 chaco species generally agree (69 cases) with Bergmann's Ecogeographic Rule, larger forms occurring south of smaller races. The chaco avifauna largely is derived from elsewhere, particularly from other xeric regions, savanna formations and edges or ecotones involving forested regions. The chaco nevertheless has been important in furthering range extension and the ultimate isolation of some xeric-adapted birds and species favoring edges and ecotones. There is a need for further in-depth taxonomic-zoogeographic investigations of particular Neotropical avian groups and regional South American zoogeographic analyses"--P. 167.
