Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Avifauna of the Galapagos Islands My study reached a point where it became apparent that a satis factory end could not be attained without examining more of the material of former writers, notably the birds collected by Darwin that served Gould as the basis for the first published descriptions of Galapagos Species. Perhaps four-fifths of the types of birds described from the Galapagos are contained in the British Museum, in the Rothschild Museum at Tring, England, and in the United States National Museum, mostly in the first two institutions. In the spring of 1930 it proved possible for me to make the necessary trip, and I visited the British Museum and the Rothschild Museum in the interval between April 27 and June 13, and the United States National Museum on my way home the latter part of June, having abundant Opportunity to examine all of the Galapagos material in those several institutions.

This book was released on 2017-03-14 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After his famous visit to the Galápagos Islands, Darwin speculated that "one might fancy that, from an original paucity of birds in this archipelago, one species had been taken and modified for different ends." This book is the classic account of how much we have since learned about the evolution of these remarkable birds. Based upon over a decade's research, Grant shows how interspecific competition and natural selection act strongly enough on contemporary populations to produce observable and measurable evolutionary change. In this new edition, Grant outlines new discoveries made in the thirteen years since the book's publication. Ecology and Evolution of Darwin's Finches is an extraordinary account of evolution in action. Originally published in 1986. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Book excerpt: Exotic Galapagos Islands Birds! Glimpse the unique world of Galapagos Island birdlife through brief selections from the writings of world-famous visitors and the camera of a modern-day nature photographer. Nearly 200 years ago, British naturalist Charles Darwin, American novelist Herman Melville, and HMS Beagle Captain Robert FitzRoy of the Royal Navy all traveled to Ecuador's famous archipelago, the Galapagos Islands. All three visitors marveled at the unique birdlife they found during their Galapagos Islands travel, from the "man-of-war hawk . . . strong bandit birds, with long bills cruel as daggers" to "penguins . . . erect as men" Now, nature photographer Moses Michelsohn captures this exotic Galapagos Island birdlife in 25 striking color photographs. Galapagos Birds includes: Darwin's discussions of finches, mockingbirds, and other Galapagos Islands birds from Voyage of the Beagle. Melville's "Sketch Third. Rock Rodondo," from The Encantadas or The Enchanted Isles featuring descriptions of birdlife in this unique world. Captain FitzRoy's musings on the cause of the Galapagos Island birdlife diversity that he saw during HMS Beagle's round-the-world survey voyage Moses Michelsohn's wildlife photographs of common Galapagos Island birds beloved by today's visitors. Lynn Michelsohn's brief but insightful introductions to the Galapagos Island writings of Darwin, Melville, and FitzRoy. Enjoy your visit to the Galapagos Islands! Galapagos' Famous Early Visitors: Charles Darwin, a young British gentleman naturalist on his way to becoming a rural parson, won the post of naturalist on the round-the-world survey voyage of HMS Beagle that sailed from Plymouth, England in December 1831. It wasn't until 1859 that he published his theory of Evolution by Natural Selection inspired by the diversity of plants and animals he saw on the voyage of the Beagle, especially on the various Galapagos Islands. Herman Melville first glimpsed the Galapagos Islands as a young seaman on the whaler Acushnet out of New Bedford, Massachusetts. Years later, after the failure of his novel Moby-Dick, he tried to regain his lost popularity by writing a series ten of magazine sketches, later published as The Encantadas or The Enchanted Isles, recalling this visit to the Galapagos Islands. Captain Robert FitzRoy, a career officer in the Royal Navy, selected young Charles Darwin both because of his desire to broaden the scientific scope of his primary mission to map the coast of South America and because of his desire for appropriate companionship during the five year voyage. FitzRoy remained a committed Creationist throughout his life, strongly opposed to Darwin's Theory of Evolution. Enrich your visit to the Galapagos Islands with glimpses of its famous birdlife as described by these famous early visitors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Galapagos Tortoises A warm interest of the Museum authorities in the Giant land tortoises has led to the acquisition of so many notable specimens, through liberal exchanges and purchases, as to demand a revision of portions of the collection, especially of that portion directly pertaining to the Galapagos Archipelago. This forms the reason for the following article. It is based mainly on partial specimens, 15. E., carapaces and sternums, but it is thus that these tortoises are most generally known, thus that they are most widely, and most commonly represented in descriptions, figures, and collections. A few attempts have been made at complete characterization of the species by including the anatomical features; these were founded on single specimens, and the individuals of the species are found to differ too much to admit of accurate distinctions unless confirmed by averages secured from repeated dissections, for which much of the material and the labor has yet to be supplied. The Galapagos Islands form an isolated group in the eastern Pacific on the equator about 6° west of Ecuador, or in other words, they are Situated between 89° and 92° of west longitude and between 1° 30' south and 2° north latitude. The largest of them is about eighty miles long and at its widest is about fifty miles wide; from this the sizes vary to some that are mere points of rock or shoals. They are separated from the mainland by more than four hundred miles of deep sea, a thousand fathoms or more in depth. The Wide separation from the continent, their considerable distances from one another, with great differences in altitudes and consequent variations in climate and fertility give them exceptional attractions in the eyes of naturalists. Here if anywhere they might hope to find the species of the flora and fauna distinct from those of the world around them and here it might be possible to trace their development and derivation. Questions of origin go back to the advent of the islands themselves; neither in case of lands, plants, nor animals have the questions been answered with any great degrees of satisfaction. Some authorities have decided that the islands are oceanic, that they never were connected with the continent, but were pushed up from the sea-bottom by the numerous volcanoes they contain.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Galapagos Finches (Geospizinae): A Study in Variation Leacock, photographer; and Mr. And Mrs. T. W. J. Taylor, bota nists. The main party arrived at Guayaquil, Ecuador, in late No vember 1938, and reached the Galapagos on December 14, leaving again on April 3, 1939. The writer worked on Chatham Island from arrival until January 29, January 30 was spent on Hood, January 31 to April 2 on Indefatigable, and April 3 on Tower Island. W. H. Thompson worked with the writer on Chatham until January 10, then on Indefatigable from January 11 until the middle of February, when he became ill. Up to the time of his illness, W. H. Thompson shared equally in the field observations on breed ing behavior and ecology, and may therefore be considered equally responsible with the writer for the data upon which Sections II and III are based. The majority of the life histories had been worked out before he became incapacitated. Unfortunately, since my re turn to England after the war started, I have been unable to get in touch with him for writing up these sections. However, I have had a copy of most of his original field notes from which to work. I should like to record here my gratitude to him for his invaluable assistance. I also thank L. S. V. Venables and the other members of the party for their assistance with some of the observations, and help in catching the birds. T. W. J. Taylor is responsible for the botanical identifications in Section III, and some of the habitat photographs.
