Download or read book Taxonomic revision of the olingos (Bassaricyon), with description of a new species, the Olinguito written by Kristofer M. Helgen and published by PenSoft Publishers LTD. This book was released on 2013-08-15 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper presents the first comprehensive taxonomic revision of the olingos, Bassaricyon, based on most available museum specimens, with data derived from anatomy, mitochondrial and nuclear DNA, fieldwork, and geographic range modeling. Olingos are forest-living, arboreal, nocturnal, frugivorous, and solitary, and have one young at a time. Four olingo species can be recognized, including a Central American species (B. gabbii) and lowland species with eastern, cis-Andean (B. alleni) and western, trans-Andean (B. medius) distributions. Surprisingly, the sister lineage to all previously described species of Bassaricyon is an Andean cloud forest species, which we call the Olinguito, that has never been previously described. Bassaricyon neblina sp. n., en-demic to Colombia and Ecuador, is the smallest living member of the family Procyonidae and the first new species of Carnivora named in the American continents in 35 years. We describe four subspecies of Olinguito across the Northern Andes.

Download or read book Thomas R. Howell?s Check-list of the Birds of Nicaragua as of 1993 written by Thomas R. Howell and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2010-10-10 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between December 1951 and April 1967, Thomas R. Howell made 13 separate research trips to Nicaragua. The result was a collection of over 2,000 bird skins and at least 16 publications that form the backbone of Nicaraguan ornithology. In the late 1970s, Howell began working on a manuscript that was intended to be his major contribution to the ornithology of the country. The first version of this "Check-list of the Birds of Nicaragua" was not ready until 1983, and many different typewritten versions circulated among a small but growing number of Nicaraguan biologists for the next two decades. Partly because of Howell's passion for detail and completeness, and finally because of his failing health in the late 1990s, the check-list was never published before his death in December 2004. This monograph remedies what had become a significant obstacle to further studies in the country by providing, in Howell's own words, a comprehensive background for subsequent explorations. It documents the 654 species (611 supported with specimen evidence) known to have occurred in Nicaragua as of 1993, the date of the last substantial revision of the manuscript, and also provides a rationale for anticipating another 44 species. The publication of this significant chapter in the history of Central American bird studies is offered both as a tribute to Tom Howell's enthusiasm and contributions and as a frame of reference and springboard for current and future ornithologists inspired to study the rich and still largely unexplored avifauna of Nicaragua--

Download or read book New World Warblers written by Jon Curson and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2010-06-30 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the same format as other book in the series, this guide to North American wood warblers, the parulinae, looks at their distribution throughout the USA and into Central and South America. New World warblers are one of the most colourful, popular and enigmatic groups of North American birds. This is the first time comprehensive guide to the identification, ageing and sexing of all 116 species. Thirty-six colour plates show the major age, sex and racial variations for all species (many of which have never been fully illustrated before). They are accompanied by colour distribution maps and black-and-white drawings. Jon Curson's up-to-the-minute text is based on over ten years' field research in North, South and Central America coupled with meticulous museum work by both author and artists. The book contains a full text for each species, including wing-formulae drawings. Some of the species covered find their way to the UK and Europe. New World Warblers represents a significant step forward in our knowledge of one of the most beautiful and conspicuous groups of North American birds.

Download or read book DEAN OF BIRDWATCHERS written by William Edwin Davis and published by Smithsonian Books (DC). This book was released on 1994-06-17 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of America's most influential ornithologists, Ludlow Griscom (1890-1959) ushered in the shift to modern birding with binoculars with his conviction that "one need not shoot a bird to know what it was". Drawing on the writings of Griscom and his contemporaries, this biography reveals the complex man who popularized birdwatching as a more democratic, less aristocratic alternative to hunting and influenced a generation of notable future "birders", including Roger Tory Peterson, Joseph J. Hickey, and Allan Cruickshank. During the ten years he was a curator of birds for the American Museum of Natural History, Griscom set forth principles of field identification that revolutionized birding as a hobby and a sport. He also became an international authority on the birds of Central and South America, as well as the local authority on avian populations in the New York City and Boston areas. Davis vividly portrays this odd, often abrasive, man whose brusque and assertive manner tended to polarize associates into pro- and anti-Griscom factions. He follows Griscom's involvement with such groups as the National Audubon Society, National Wildlife Federation, and Ducks Unlimited. Griscom eloquently fought for the establishment of federal preserves at Plum Island and Monomoy in Massachusetts. He also spoke against tendencies toward petty competition among different environmental groups. This first biography of America's first birder captures the tenor of an almost maddeningly active life.

Download or read book Costa Rican Ecosystems written by Maarten Kappelle and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2016-04-15 with total page 798 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1502, Christopher Columbus named Costa Rica, and while gold and silver never materialized to justify the moniker of rich coast in purely economic terms, scientists and ecotravelers alike have long appreciated its incredible wealth. Wealth in Costa Rica is best measured by its biodiversityhome to a dizzying number of plants and animals, many endemic, it s a country that has long encouraged and welcomed researchers from the world over, and is exemplary in the creation and commitment to indigenous conservation and management programs. Costa Rica is considered to have the best preserved natural resources in Latin America. Approximately nine percent (about 1,000,000 acres) of Costa Rica has been protected in 15 national parks, and a comparable amount of land is protected as wildlife refuges, forest reserves or Indian reservations. This long-awaited synthesis of Costa Rican ecosystems is an authoritative presentation of the paleoecology, biogeography, structure, conservation, and sustainable use of Costa Rica s ecosystems. It systematically covers the entire range of Costa Rica s natural and managed, terrestrial, freshwater and marine ecosystems, including its island systems (Cocos Islands), the Atlantic and Pacific oceans and shores (coasts, coral reefs, mangrove forests), its lowlands (dry, season and wet forests), its highlands (the northern volcanoes and southern Talamanca s), and its estuaries, rivers, lakes, swamps and bogs. The volume s integrated, comprehensive format will be welcomed by tropical and temperate biologists alike, by biogeographers, plant and animal ecologists, marine biologists, conservation biologists, foresters, policy-makers and all scientists, natural history specialists and all with an interest in Costa Rica s ecosystems."
