چکیده

Hawaiian Islands (based on Pratt 1979; Berger 1981; James and Olson 1991): (1) Corvus hawaiiensis (Corvidae, one species), (2) Myadestes thrushes (Turdinae, five species [two sympatric]), (3) Acrocephalus familiaris (Acrocephalinae, one species), (4) Chasiempsis sandwichensis (Monarchini, one species), (5) Hawaiian Oo and Kioea (Meliphagidae, five species [two sympatric]), and (6) Hawaiian honeycreepers (Drepanidini, 35 species, 22 extant, plus many fossil taxa). Galápagos Islands (Harris 1973): (1) Pyrocephalus rubinus (Tyrannidae), (2) Myiarchus magnirostris (Tyrannidae), (3) Progne modesta (Hirundinidae), (4) Nesomimus mockingbirds (Mimidae, four allopatric species), (5) Dendroica petechia (Parulinae), and (6) Darwin’s finches (Thraupini, 13 species). New Hebrides: Species numbered 33–56 in the systematic list of Diamond and Marshall (1976, app. 1), all of which represent independent colonizations: (1) Hirundo tahitica, (2) Lalage maculosa, (3) Lalage leucopyga, (4) Coracina caledonica, (5) Turdus poliocephalus, (6) Cichlornis whitneyi, (7) Gerygone flavolateralis, (8) Rhipidura spilodera, (9) Rhipidura fuliginosa, (10) Myiagra caledonica, (11) Neolalage banksiana, (12) Clytorhynchus pachycephaloides, (13) Petroica multicolor, (14) Pachecephala pectoralis, (15) Artamus leucorhynchus, (16) Aplonis zelandicus, (17) Aplonis santvestris, (18) Phylidonyris notabilis, (19) Lichmera incana, (20) Myzomela cardinalis, (21) Zosterops flavifrons, (22) Zosterops lateralis, (23) Erythrura trichoa, and (24) Erythrura cyaneovirens. Lesser Antilles (Bond 1956, 1979; American Ornithologists’ Union 1998; Raffaele et al. 1998): (1) Elaenia martinica, (2) Elaenia flavogaster, (3) Contopus latirostris, (4) Empidonax euleri, (5) Myiarchus nugator, (6) Myiarchus oberi, (7) Tyrannus dominicensis, (8) Progne dominicensis, (9) Troglodytes aedon, (10) Myadestes genibarbis, (11) Turdus fumigatus, (12) Turdus nudigenis, (13) Turdus plumbeus, (14) Cichlherminia lherminieri, (15) Mimus gilvus, (16) endemic thrasher radiation (Miminae), (17) Vireo altiloquus, (18) Dendroica adelaidae, (19) Dendroica petechia, (20) Dendroica plumbea, (21) Catheropeza bishopi, (22) Leucopeza semperi, (23) Coereba flaveola, (24) Tangara cucullata, (25) Euphonia musica, (26) Saltator albicollis, (27) Loxigilla noctis, (28) Melanospiza richardsoni, (29) Tiaris bicolor, (30) Volatinia jacarina, (31) Sporophila nigricollis, (32) Icterus dominicensis species group, (33) Quiscalus lugubris, and (34) Molothrus bonariensis. Because the species status of allopatric populations is difficult to ascertain, we define an autochthonous evolutionary radiation as the presence on a given island of more than one species derived from a single colonizing lineage to the archipelago. Thus, the three species of Icterus orioles in the Lesser Antilles do not qualify because each occurs on a different island even though they were apparently derived from a single invasion of an ancestral lineage of Icterus from the Greater Antilles (Lovette et al. 1999a; Omland et al. 1999). Although several endemic species of mockingbird (Nesomimus) have been described from the Galápagos Islands, none are sympatric (Harris 1973; Arbogast et al. 2006).

The causes of evolutionary radiations in archipelagoes: passerine birds in the Lesser Antilles.

To investigate why some lineages undergo evolutionary radiation, we compare the passerine avifaunas of the Hawaiian and Galapagos archipelagoes, which have supported well-known radiations of birds, with those of the Lesser Antilles, which have not. We focus on four steps required for the buildup of diversity through allopatric speciation and secondary sympatry: genetic divergence in isolation, ...

Nonequilibrium diversity dynamics of the Lesser Antillean avifauna.

MacArthur and Wilson's model of island diversity predicts an increase in the number of species until colonization and extinction are balanced at a long-term steady state. We appraise this model on an evolutionary time scale by molecular phylogenetic analysis of the colonization of the Lesser Antilles by small land birds. The pattern of accumulation of species with time, estimated by genetic div...

Island and taxon effects in parasitism revisited: avian malaria in the Lesser Antilles.

We identify and describe the distribution of 12 genetically distinct malaria parasite lineages over islands and hosts in four common passerine birds in the Lesser Antilles. Combined parasite prevalence demonstrates strong host effects, little or no island effect, and a significant host-times-island interaction, indicating independent outcomes of host-parasite infections among island populations...

Plenary06: Taxon cycles in the Lesser Antillean avifauna

Patterns of taxonomic differentiation and geographical distribution of West Indian birds suggest that taxa may pass through phases of increasing and decreasing geographical range. Such sequences are referred to as taxon cycles. Although decline may often lead to extinction, new phases of expansion, accompanied by increased or shifted habitat distribution are also possible. The taxon cycle is a ...

The West Indies as a laboratory of biogeography and evolution.

Islands have long provided material and inspiration for the study of evolution and ecology. The West Indies are complex historically and geographically, providing a rich backdrop for the analysis of colonization, diversification and extinction of species. They are sufficiently isolated to sustain endemic forms and close enough to sources of colonists to develop a dynamic interaction with surrou...
