Correct authorship of the genus Pyrgilauda (Aves: Passeridae).
The correct generic name and its authorship of southern snowfinches has been a matter of debate since the 1980s (Kašin 1982; Nejfel'dt 1986; Stepanân 1990) until Mlíkovský (1998) showed that Pyrgilauda is the correct generic name and that it should be attributed to Bonaparte (1850: 511), not to Verreaux (1871: 40), because Bonaparte (1850: 511) first listed that name in synonymy, because it was...
متن کاملRamphastosula (aves, Sulidae): a New Genus from the Early Pliocene of the Pisco Formation, Peru
Cranial material from a new genus (Ramphastosula) of Sulidae is described. The material comes from the Early–Lower Pliocene of the Pisco Formation of the central-southern coast of Peru. The skulls are characterized by (1) remarkable convex curvature of the dorsal surface and straight ventral surface of the rostrum, only with a curvature on the third anterior part and the tip of the bill; (2) we...

متن کاملVisual and acoustic components of courtship in the bird-of-paradise genus Astrapia (Aves: Paradisaeidae)
The distinctive and divergent courtship phenotypes of the birds-of-paradise make them an important group for gaining insights into the evolution of sexually selected phenotypic evolution. The genus Astrapia includes five long-tailed species that inhabit New Guinea's montane forests. The visual and acoustic components of courtship among Astrapia species are very poorly known. In this study, we u...
متن کاملA multi-gene phylogeny of aquiline eagles (Aves: Accipitriformes) reveals extensive paraphyly at the genus level.
The phylogeny of the tribe Aquilini (eagles with fully feathered tarsi) was investigated using 4.2 kb of DNA sequence of one mitochondrial (cyt b) and three nuclear loci (RAG-1 coding region, LDH intron 3, and adenylate-kinase intron 5). Phylogenetic signal was highly congruent and complementary between mtDNA and nuclear genes. In addition to single-nucleotide variation, shared deletions in nuc...
