Apologies for cross-posting, three papers of interest since March 2013 Ponce-Reyes, R., Nicholson, E., Baxter, P. W. J., Fuller, R. A., Possingham, H. (2013), Extinction risk in cloud forest fragments under climate change and habitat loss. Diversity and Distributions, 19: 518-529 Email: r.ponce AT uq.edu.au Aim To quantify the consequences of major threats to biodiversity, such as climate and land-use change, it is important to use explicit measures of species persistence, such as extinction risk. The extinction risk of metapopulations can be approximated through simple models, providing a regional snapshot of the extinction probability of a species. We evaluated the extinction risk of three species under different climate change scenarios in three different regions of the Mexican cloud forest, a highly fragmented habitat that is particularly vulnerable to climate change. Location Cloud forests in Mexico. Methods Using Maxent, we estimated the potential distribution of cloud forest for three different time horizons (2030, 2050 and 2080) and their overlap with protected areas. Then, we calculated the extinction risk of three contrasting vertebrate species for two scenarios: (1) climate change only (all suitable areas of cloud forest through time) and (2) climate and land-use change (only suitable areas within a currently protected area), using an explicit patch-occupancy approximation model and calculating the joint probability of all populations becoming extinct when the number of remaining patches was less than five. Results Our results show that the extent of environmentally suitable areas for cloud forest in Mexico will sharply decline in the next 70 years. We discovered that if all habitat outside protected areas is transformed, then only species with small area requirements are likely to persist. With habitat loss through climate change only, high dispersal rates are sufficient for persistence, but this requires protection of all remaining cloud forest areas. Main conclusions Even if high dispersal rates mitigate the extinction risk of species due to climate change, the synergistic impacts of changing climate and land use further threaten the persistence of species with higher area requirements. Our approach for assessing the impacts of threats on biodiversity is particularly useful when there is little time or data for detailed population viability analyses Naujokaitis-Lewis, I. R., Curtis, J. M. R., Tischendorf, L., Badzinski, D., Lindsay, K., Fortin, M.-J. (2013), Uncertainties in coupled species distribution-metapopulation dynamics models for risk assessments under climate change. Diversity and Distributions, 19: 541-554 Email: ilona.naujokaitis.lewis AT utoronto.ca Aim Species distribution models (SDMs) coupled with metapopulation dynamics models can integrate multiple threats and population-level processes that influence species distributions. However, multiple sources of uncertainties could lead to substantial differences in model outputs and jeopardize risk assessments. We evaluate uncertainties in coupled species distribution-metapopulation dynamics models and focus on two often underappreciated sources of uncertainty: the choice of general circulation model (GCM) and demographic parameter uncertainty of the metapopulation model. We rank the risks associated with potential climate changes and habitat loss on projected range margin dynamics of the Hooded Warbler (Setophaga citrina). Location Breeding range of the Hooded Warbler, North America. Methods Using SDMs, we quantified variability in projected future distributions using four GCMs and a consensus model at the biogeographic scale and assessed the propagation of uncertainty through to metapopulation viability projections. We applied a global sensitivity analysis to the coupled species distribution-metapopulation models to rank the influence of choice of GCM, parameter uncertainty and simulated effects of habitat loss on metapopulation viability, thereby addressing error propagation through the whole modelling process. Results The Hooded Warbler range was consistently projected to shift north: choice of GCMs influenced the magnitude of change, and variability was spatially structured. Variability in the choice of GCMs propagated through to metapopulation viability at the northern range boundary. Although viability measures were sensitive to the GCM used, measures of direct habitat loss were more influential. Despite the high ranking of vital rates in the global sensitivity analysis, direct habitat loss had a larger negative influence on extinction risk than potential future climate changes. Main conclusions This work underscores the importance of a global sensitivity analysis framework applied to coupled models to disentangle the relative influence of uncertainties on projections. The use of multiple GCMs enabled the exploration of a range of possible outcomes relative to the consensus GCM, helping to inform risk estimates. Ranking uncertainties informs the prioritization of management actions for species affected by dynamic anthropogenic threats over multiple spatial scales. Porto, T. J., Carnaval, A. C. and da Rocha, P. L. B. (2013), Evaluating forest refugial models using species distribution models, model filling and inclusion: a case study with 14 Brazilian species. Diversity and Distributions, 19: 330-340 Email: tjporto AT ufba.br Aim We aimed to assess the generality of existing models of late Quaternary biodiversity refugia in the Brazilian Atlantic forest by testing whether taxonomic identity and range descriptors influence the extent by which previously proposed models of forest (habitat) refugia successfully predict species' inferred refugial areas. Location Brazilian rain forest. Methods We compiled and filtered records of 14 animal species that belong to distantly related groups (spiders, harvestmen, scorpions, amphibians, birds, lizards and mammals) and show distinct distribution patterns within the Atlantic rain forest. Using MAXENT, we generated three distribution models for each species under different climatic scenarios (current, 6000 and 21,000 years ago). Species-specific historically stable areas (refugia) were identified through the intersection of the three models. We then measured the amount of 'inclusion' of species-specific refugia within published forest refugia, and quantified 'filling' of the biome refugia by species-specific refugia. The influence of taxonomic distance between species and range descriptors were analysed. Results Current distribution models generated for the 14 species had high accuracy (AUC > 0.9). Inclusion and filling, two uncorrelated metrics, varied among species and were not influenced by taxonomic identity. Species range characteristics influenced forest model filling only, with higher values found in widely distributed species (i.e. occurring from Northeastern to Southeastern Brazil). Main conclusions Species-specific and forest refugial areas are not necessarily the same. The power of forest refugial models to predict species-specific refugial area differs among species and may be influenced by range attributes. Species data suggests the existence of a large refugium in Southeast of Brazil, a result at odds with the currently available forest-wide models. The predictive power of forest refugial models is narrowed; we now better understand their applicability limits.

One paper of interest since January 2013 Filloy, J. & Bellocq, M. I. (2013). Spatial variation in bird species abundances: Environmental constraints across southern Neotropical regions. Basic and Applied Ecology 14 (3): 263-270 Email: jfilloy AT ege.fcen.uba.ar Abstract Climate and habitat type are frequently related with the abundance of individual species and have been hypothesized to be primary drivers of the spatial variation in species abundances at the regional scale. Our aim is to evaluate the relative roles of those environmental factors in determining spatial variation in bird species abundance. We surveyed birds and habitat-cover variables and compiled climatic data along a 1700-km latitudinal gradient in the southern Neotropics. To identify the primary environmental variable explaining spatial changes in species abundances we performed simple regressions; a goodness of fit test identified the environmental factor that most frequently acted as the primary predictor. Mantel tests and partial regressions were performed to account for the spatial structure of abundance and environmental factors and collinearity between them. Of the 88 species included, 70% responded primarily to habitat cover and the remaining to climate. Forest cover and annual thermal amplitude were the main habitat-cover and climatic variables, respectively, explaining spatial variation in bird abundances. Our results indicated that the considered environmental factors accounted for latitudinal changes in species abundances; however, habitat cover and climate together explained a higher proportion of the variation than each factor independently of each other. There was a primacy of habitat-cover type over climate to predict spatial changes in bird species abundances across the neotropical biogeographic regions studied, but the underlying causes are likely related with the interaction of both factors.

Marine and coastal biodiversity of Oaxaca, Mexico. Check List 9(2):329-390 Abstract: The state of Oaxaca in southern Mexico harbors the highest faunistic and floristic biodiversity of the region; however, to date, research effort has focused on terrestrial flora and fauna. Despite this bias, there is a large amount of dispersed information regarding the coastal and marine biodiversity of Oaxaca. The present study aimed to: 1) update and synthesize existing information to improve understanding of coastal and marine biodiversity; and 2) provide a baseline for future biodiversity studies in Oaxaca. The review of 198 references about Oaxacaâs flora and fauna produced 2,157 species records, from 15 taxonomic groups (Division, Phyla or Class). Nevertheless, knowledge about the fauna and flora of Oaxaca remains scarce compared to other regions, such as the Gulf of California. Additionally, floristic and faunistic knowledge is heterogeneous among the taxonomic groups; for instance, 242 (11.2%) species represent macroalgae, three invertebrate groups (annelids, crustaceans and mollusks) represent about 44.0% (949 species) of all species recorded, while the vertebrates are represented by 762 species (35.3%). Similarly, many invertebrate groups recorded in adjacent regions have not yet been recorded on the Oaxaca coast, including some platyhelminthes, rotifers, nematodes, oligochaetes, sipunculids, echiurans, tardigrades, pycnogonids, some crustaceans, brachiopods, chaetognaths, ascidians and cephalochordates. The study of the marine flora and fauna is far from finished; additional effort is required to complete the marine biodiversity inventory of Oaxaca. Â Harrison, N.M.; M.J. Whitehouse; L.A.S.P. Madureira. (2013). Observations of the under-described avifauna of the Mostardas Peninsula, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Check List 9(2):391-399 Â Abstract: The Mostardas Peninsula on the east coast of Rio Grande do Sul state, Southern Brazil is important for migratory shorebirds that depend upon the wetlands in the Lagoa do Peixe National Park. However, previous surveys have suggested that the Peninsula is bereft of terrestrial birds relative to similar habitat in Rio Grande do Sul. We used rapid assessment methods to evaluate terrestrial bird diversity and note observations of migratory birds at the western margin of Lagoa do Peixe National Park between 11 February 2007 and 25 March 2007. We recorded fourteen species not previously reported for this area, including several new breeding records, and detail the occurrence of mixed-species foraging flocks in fragmented woodland. We discuss the reasons for the discrepancy between our observations of the terrestrial avifauna and previous reports, and the possibility that the Mostardas Peninsula is a passerine migratory route that remains poorly documented.

Three papers in recent PLoS ONE issues: *Tourism Revenue as a Conservation Tool for Threatened Birds in Protected Areas* Rochelle Steven, J. Guy Castley, Ralf Buckley (2013). PLoS ONE 8(5): e62598. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0062598 Abstract Many bird populations worldwide are at risk of extinction, and rely heavily on protected area networks for their continued conservation. Tourism to these areas contributes to conservation by generating revenue for management. Here we quantify the contribution of tourism revenue for bird species in the IUCN Red List, using a simple accounting method. Relevant data are available for 90 (16%) of the 562 critically endangered and endangered species. Contributions of tourism to bird conservation are highest, 1064%, in South America, Africa, and their neighbouring islands. Critically endangered bird species rely on tourism more heavily than endangered species* (**p<0.02). Many protected areas could also enhance their management budgets by promoting birdwatching tourism specifically.* * * *Published:* May 8, 2013 Open access download from: http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0062598 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A Multi-Platform Draft *de novo* Genome Assembly and Comparative Analysis for the Scarlet Macaw (*Ara macao*). Seabury CM, Dowd SE, Seabury PM, Raudsepp T, Brightsmith DJ, et al. (2013) PLoS ONE 8(5): e62415. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0062415 A*bstract* This Whole Genome Shotgun project has been deposited at DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank under the accession AMXX00000000 (SMACv1.0, unscaffolded genome assembly). The version described in this paper is the first version (AMXX01000000). The scaffolded assembly (SMACv1.1) has been deposited at DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank under the accession AOUJ00000000, and is also the first version (AOUJ01000000). Strong biological interest in traits such as the acquisition and utilization of speech, cognitive abilities, and longevity catalyzed the utilization of two next-generation sequencing platforms to provide the first-draft *de novo* genome assembly for the large, new world parrot *Ara macao* (Scarlet Macaw). Despite the challenges associated with genome assembly for an outbred avian species, including 951,507 high-quality putative single nucleotide polymorphisms, the final genome assembly (>1.035 Gb) includes more than 997 Mb of unambiguous sequence data (excluding Ns). Cytogenetic analyses including ZooFISH revealed complex rearrangements associated with two scarlet macaw macrochromosomes (AMA6, AMA7), which supports the hypothesis that translocations, fusions, and intragenomic rearrangements are key factors associated with karyotype evolution among parrots. *In silico*annotation of the scarlet macaw genome provided robust evidence for 14,405 nuclear gene annotation models, their predicted transcripts and proteins, and a complete mitochondrial genome. Comparative analyses involving the scarlet macaw, chicken, and zebra finch genomes revealed high levels of nucleotide-based conservation as well as evidence for overall genome stability among the three highly divergent species. Application of a new whole-genome analysis of divergence involving all three species yielded prioritized candidate genes and noncoding regions for parrot traits of interest (i.e., speech, intelligence, longevity) which were independently supported by the results of previous human GWAS studies. We also observed evidence for genes and noncoding loci that displayed extreme conservation across the three avian lineages, thereby reflecting their likely biological and developmental importance among birds. *Published:* May 8, 2013 Open access, download from: http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0062415 Flight Performance and Feather Quality: Paying the Price of Overlapping Moult and Breeding in a Tropical Highland Bird. Echeverry-Galvis MA, Hau M (2013) PLoS ONE 8(5): e61106. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0061106 Abstract A temporal separation of energetically costly life history events like reproduction and maintenance of the integumentary system is thought to be promoted by selection to avoid trade-offs and maximize fitness. It has therefore remained somewhat of a paradox that certain vertebrate species can undergo both events simultaneously. Identifying potential costs of overlapping two demanding life history stages will further our understanding of the selection pressures that shape the temporal regulation of life history events in vertebrates. We studied free-living tropical Slaty brush-finches (*Atlapetes schistaceus*), in which individuals spontaneously overlap reproduction and moult or undergo both events in separation. To assess possible costs of such an overlap we quantified feather quality and flight performance of individuals in different states. We determined individuals life history state by measuring gonad size and scoring moult stage, and collected a newly grown 7th primary wing feather for later analysis of feather quality. Finally, we quantified flight performance for each individual in the wild. Overlapping individuals produced lighter and shorter wing feathers than individuals just moulting, with females decreasing feather quality more strongly during the overlap than males. Moreover, overlapping individuals had a reduced flight speed during escape flights, while their foraging flight speed was unaffected. Despite overlappers being larger and having a smaller wing area, their lower body mass resulted in a similar wing load as in breeders or moulters. Individuals measured repeatedly in different states also showed significant decreases in feather quality and escape flight speed during the overlap. Reduced escape flight speed may represent a major consequence of the overlap by increasing predation risk. Our data document costs to undergoing two life history stages simultaneously, which likely arise from energetic trade-offs. Impairments in individual quality and performance may represent important factors that select for temporal separation of life history stages in other species. *Published:* May 8, 2013 Open access, download from: http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0061106

One article on mammal and parrot salt licks: Characteristics of natural salt licks located in the Colombian Amazon foothills - Eduardo Molina , - Tomás Enrique León , - Dolors Armenteras abstract: Salt licks are key places for the ecological dynamics of wildlife communities around the world and are locations where animals develop geophagical behaviours. Geophagy is a method for animals to supplement their diets or facilitate their digestive processes and is related to the health of individuals and populations. This study characterises a series of salt licks located in the Colombian Amazon foothills and describes their structural, mineralogical and physicochemical properties, as well as the fauna that visit these locations. The results are analysed in reference to the geological characteristics of the study area and in relation to the role of the salt lick in the nutritional ecology of the Amazonian fauna. Located in the study area are two types of salt licks that are significantly different in composition. These salt licks are located in an area where young geological materials have been exposed. The characteristics of the salt licks supports the hypothesis that they are used to solve nutritional problems that result from herbivorous diets. The clear importance of salt licks in the ecology of several Amazonian animal species emphasises the need to prioritise conservation areas by maximising the complementarities of salt lick sites.

Aun por uruguay? fap Fernando Angulo Pratolongo ------------------------------------- Lambayeque - Perú chamaepetes AT yahoo.com ----- Forwarded Message ----- From: Fernando Angulo Pratolongo To: "'Birdingperu AT yahoogroups.com'" Sent: Sunday, March 31, 2013 12:55 PM Subject: [Birdingperu] Birding at Frejolillo (Limon) Dear Birding Peru, I just came back from a few days at quebrada frejolillo, near Limon town. The forest was completely green and still there is some rains, some of the moderate. There are a few nice records that I want to share with the group. There were at least 20 white-winged guans, most of them in groups of three, with the third individual being a juvenile aprox. 2 months old. It is interesting to note that they are down in the quebrada, visible at ca. 400 masl in the main quebrada. At least three pairs of Henna-hooded Foliage-gleaner, very vocal, always on the bottom of small quebradas. Ochre-bellied Dove, at least two seen but not vocal. Sooty-crown Flycatchers everywhere, very vocal and active. Cliff Swallows, maybe 30 flying above the town of Limon. First I though they were Chestnut-collared Swallow, that were every day in the quebrada, but then I realized of the color of the throat and rump. First time I see one in this area (even in Lambayeque). Black & White and One-colored Becards, several pairs, very vocal. Masked Yellowthroats and Plumbeous-backed Thrushs everywhere. The best record was a Buff-fronted Owl, photographed and recorded, at 350 m in the quebrada entrance, in the area called "Puerta del Diablo". Was interesting to notice that a few in-other-times common species, where lacking in this season, most notably Tumbes Tyrant, Tumbes Hummingbird and Ecuadorian Piculet. TT was ridicously common in September last year, with birds singing everywhere. Now, I haven't heard or seen a single bird. The same with Tumbes Hummingbird, later in the year is common, now the common one was Amazilia HB, with one single Long-billed Starthoat spotted. I will upload all records on e-bird on the next days. I believe that the more data are in such databases, the better we will understand these local movements.

Dear Frederik, I suspect that this comment may have been taken from Brewer & McKay 2001 (Wrens, Dippers and Thrashers), which includes the following statement in the geographical variation section for Microcerculus marginatus: "Recent studies of the DNA of populations of marginatus north and south of the Amazon suggest a major difference, even though there is no obvious external plumage distinction between the populations (J.

John, The point she is trying to make, I think, is that warblers and many other migrants may certainly start singing-often part-songs or subsongs-while still on their wintering ground, and certainly while on migration, as well. Which species you are hearing is another matter...But keep in mind that the "thinness" you describe may be due to the song's not being the full, robust advertising song that the bird will be broadcasting up north on territory ( assuming that you indeed have a Neotropical migrant species ) Best, Gregg Gorton Homoaves AT gmail.com From: Bulletin Board for Ornithologists working with Neotropical Birds [mailto:NEOORN-L AT LISTSERV.LSU.EDU] On Behalf Of John Kvarnback Sent: Monday, April 29, 2013 5:24 PM To: NEOORN-L AT LISTSERV.LSU.EDU Subject: Re: [NEOORN-L] Wood-warblers singing on wintering ground ?

Do any physical therapy you can as long as possible, and play hard with your granddaughter. I had a brainstem tumor diagnosed about a decade ago and resected as good as they could 7 years ago.

American Naturalist, 181: E53-E59. [French Guiana] Download from: http://www.jstor.org/stable/10.1086/668565 Abstract: The stability of tropical systems has been hypothesized to explain the evolution of complex behavioral interactions among species. We evaluate the degree to which one highly evolved social system, mixed-species flocks, are stable in space and time in French Guiana, where flocks were characterized 17 years apart. These flocks are led by alarm-calling sentinels, which may benefit from food flushed by other beater species. Using null models, we found that flock roost sites, home range overlap, and composition were more similar than expected by chance; home ranges were nearly identical between the two time periods. Such extremely stable conditions may be essential for the evolution and maintenance of the sentinel-beater system that appears to characterize some flocks. These results may reflect an evolutionarily stable strategy among potentially interdependent species within mixed-species flocks, where home ranges contribute to stability by being far larger than the most common local disturbances in the forest.

Some good news that I received from Prof Kiernen in Sydney, Australia's leading authority on MND was that the trend at the onset tended to continue throughout the disease:that is, if you deterioriated significanlty in the first six months, you could expect that trend to continue. Since the trend from onset with me had been gradual, I was told I could expect that to continue.

Neoorners, Two papers in American Naturalist 179 (4 & 5). Manuel A. Plenge Lima, Peru Naka, Luciano Nicolas, Catherine L. Bechtoldt, L. Magalli Pinto Henriques, Robb T. Brumfield 2012. The role of physical barriers in the location of avian suture zones in the Guiana Shield, northern Amazonia. American Naturalist, 179: E115-E132. Download from: http://www.jstor.org/stable/pdfplus/10.1086/664627.pdf?acceptTC=true Abstract: Suture zones represent natural forums in which to examine the role of geography and ecology in the speciation process. Here, we conduct a comparative analysis designed to investigate the location of avian phylogeographic breaks and contact zones in the Guiana Shield, northern Amazonia. We use distributional and genetic data from 78 pairs of avian taxa to address whether phylogeographic breaks and contact zones are associated with contemporary landscape features. Using spatially explicit statistical models, we found that phylogeographic breaks and contact zones are not randomly distributed throughout the landscape. In general, geographic breaks cluster along physical barriers (rivers, nonforested habitats, and small mountain ranges), whereas contact zones aggregate where these barriers either break down or are easier to overcome, such as around riversâ headwaters. Our results indicate that although major Amazonian rivers are often key determinants of taxon boundaries, the âriverine barrier effectâ is a synergistic consequence of the wide lower reaches of some rivers, coupled with nonriverine landscape features at the headwaters. Our data suggest that ancestral refugia are not necessary to explain current distribution patterns and that pairs of codistributed taxa do not seem to be the result of simultaneous diversification processes. Claramunt, Santiago, Elizabeth P. Derryberry, Robb T. Brumfield, and J. V. Remsen Jr. 2012. Ecological opportunity and diversification in a continental radiation of birds: climbing adaptations and cladogenesis in the Furnariidae. American Naturalist, 179: 649-666. E-mail: sclaramunt AT amnh.org Abstract: Ecological theories of adaptive radiation predict that ecological opportunity stimulates cladogenesis through its effects on competitive release and niche expansion. Given that key innovations may confer ecological opportunity, we investigated the effect of the acquisition of climbing adaptations on rates of cladogenesis in a major avian radiation, the Neotropical bird family Furnariidae, using a species-level phylogeny. Morphological specializations for vertical climbing originated in the woodcreepers âź23 million years ago, well before that adaptation occurred in woodpeckers (Picidae) or in other potential competitors in South America. This suggests that the acquisition of climbing adaptations conferred ample ecological opportunity to early woodcreepers. Nonetheless, we found that increases in speciation rates in Furnariidae did not coincide with the acquisition of climbing adaptations and that the relationship between the accumulation of climbing adaptations and rates of speciation was negative. In addition, we did not detect a diversity-dependent decline in woodcreeper diversification rates consistent with saturation of the trunk-climbing niche. These findings do not support the hypothesis that ecological opportunity related to trunk foraging stimulated cladogenesis in this radiation. The negative effect of climbing on diversification may be mediated by an indirect positive effect of climbing on dispersal ability, which may reduce speciation rates over evolutionary timescales.

Neoorners, Three papers which I believe have not been reported in NEOLIT. If I am mistaken, my apologies. Manuel A. Plenge Lima, Peru Belmaker, Jonathan, Cagan H. Sekercioglu, and Walter Jetz 2012. Global patterns of specialization and coexistence in bird assemblages. Journal of Biogeography, 39, 193-203. E-mail: jonathan.belmaker AT yale.edu Abstract (part): *Main conclusions* The results demonstrate that for an entire clade, totalling > 9000 species, specialization and species richness are related, at least for diverse assemblages. The strong patterns observed across scales suggest that this relationship does not solely originate from (1) limits on coexistence in present-day assemblages, or (2) increased specialization in richer assemblages imposed by species abilities to partition ecological space. Instead, regional-scale influences on the species pool may determine much of the observed relationship between richness and specialization. Although causal attribution is not straightforward, these findings support the idea that, for the scale of our analysis, specialization may be related to the past origination of high-diversity assemblages, rather than their contemporary assembly. Ericson, G. P. 2012. Evolution of terrestrial birds in three continents: biogeography and parallel radiations. Journal of Biogeography, 39: 813-824. E-mail: per.ericson AT nrm.se Abstract (part): *Results* The analysis showed that three reciprocally monophyletic groups of terrestrial birds have diversified in the Gondwanan land areas of Australia, South America and Africa, respectively. Although each of these three groups may also have originally included other groups, the only survivors today from the Australian radiation are the passerines and parrots, while the falcons and seriemas have survived from the South American radiation. The group of survivors from the African radiation is considerably more taxonomically diverse and includes all coraciiform and piciform birds, owls, diurnal raptors (except falcons), New World vultures, trogons, mousebirds and cuckoo-rollers.

In contrast, neither of our evolutionary predictions is met: the gradients have different phylogenetic structures, and the richness of birds in the lowland tropics is dominated by many basal species from many basal groups, whereas mammal richness is attributable to many species from both few basal groups and many derived groups. Phylogenetic incongruence is robust to taxonomic delineations for mammals.

*A Large Accumulation of Avian Eggs from the Late Cretaceous of Patagonia (Argentina) Reveals a Novel Nesting Strategy in Mesozoic Birds * * * Mariela S. Fernández, Rodolfo A. García, Lucas Fiorelli, Alejandro Scolaro, Rodrigo B. Salvador, Carlos N. Cotaro, Gary W. Kaiser, Gareth J. Dyke Research Article | published 17 Apr 2013 | PLOS ONE 10.1371/journal.pone.0061030 Open access, download from: http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0061030 Abstract We report the first evidence for a nesting colony of Mesozoic birds on Gondwana: a fossil accumulation in Late Cretaceous rocks mapped and collected from within the campus of the National University of Comahue, Neuquén City, Patagonia (Argentina). Here, Cretaceous ornithothoracine birds, almost certainly Enanthiornithes, nested in an arid, shallow basinal environment among sand dunes close to an ephemeral water-course. We mapped and collected 65 complete, near-complete, and broken eggs across an area of more than 55 m2. These eggs were laid either singly, or occasionally in pairs, onto a sandy substrate. All eggs were found apparently in, or close to, their original nest site; they all occur within the same bedding plane and may represent the product of a single nesting season or a short series of nesting attempts. Although there is no evidence for nesting structures, all but one of the Comahue eggs were half-buried upright in the sand with their pointed end downwards, a position that would have exposed the pole containing the air cell and precluded egg turning. This egg position is not seen in living birds, with the exception of the basal galliform megapodes who place their eggs within mounds of vegetation or burrows. This accumulation reveals a novel nesting behaviour in Mesozoic Aves that was perhaps shared with the non-avian and phylogenetically more basal troodontid theropods.

Although it took a LONG time (no excuses here, but illness, travel, and banding birds when i returned to Hilton Pond slowed me down a lot!), I just finished my on-line summary of February's Operation RubyThroat hummingbird expedition to Nicaragua. It's a comprehensive report with lots of photos of tropical flora and fauna (including insects), so it may take a while to access. Since it's formatted to be compatible with your iPad, Kindle, or other tablet, you might want to download and consume it at your leisure. The report's now posted as the 13-24 Feb 2013 installment of "This Week at Hilton Pond." See http://www.hiltonpond.org/ThisWeek130213.html As always I include a list of birds banded or recaptured at Hilton Pond, in this case just for 13 February. Happy Nature Watching! BILL P.S.
