Finding new species Thousands of have been described, and, although most may agree that many thousand remain undiscovered, identifying taxa charismatic vertebrates, like birds, is rare. Rheindt et al. describe five songbird and subspecies found on a single small island near Sulawesi, Indonesia, over 6-week expedition (see the Perspective by Kennedy Fjeldså). They targeted area because its geological history complexity historical notes other explorers. argue similar approaches in regions...
Quaternary climate oscillations are a well-known driver of animal diversification, but their effects most well studied in areas where glaciations lead to habitat fragmentation. In large the planet, however, have had opposite effect, here impacts much less understood. This is especially true Southeast Asia, cyclical changes land distribution generated enormous expansions during glacial periods. this study, we selected panel five songbird species complexes covering range ecological...
The White-faced Cuckoo-dove (Turacoena manadensis) is a poorly-known Wallacean endemic with limited distribution on Sulawesi and its satellites, including the Togian, Banggai Sula archipelagoes. In 1900, populations from archipelago were awarded subspecies status T. manadensis sulaensis based smaller size minor differences in plumage; however, this distinction has not been corroborated subsequently, considered by most modern sources to be monotypic across range. We conducted vocal analysis...
The avifauna of Rote Island in the Lesser Sundas is not well studied and generally considered to be similar that adjacent Timor Island. However, some cases bird endemism have recently been documented on this island. A population Myzomela honeyeater one such example. First observed October 1990, it has subsumed with dammermani from Sumba given its superficially appearance. Based extensive morphological inspection bioacoustic analysis, we here describe as a new taxon science. Apart previously...
Leaf warblers (Aves; Phylloscopidae) are a diverse clade of insectivorous, canopy-dwelling songbirds widespread across the Old World. The taxonomy Australasian leaf is particularly complex, with multiple species-level divergences between island taxa in region requiring further scrutiny. We use combination morphology, bioacoustics, and analysis thousands genome-wide markers to investigate describe new species Phylloscopus warbler from Rote Lesser Sundas, Indonesia. show that this Warbler...
Sustainable in-house cultures of bio-enriched live feeds for ornamental fish can enhance development, nutrition and welfare the animal by improving immunity while further reducing economical costs to zoological institutions. Artemia is an easily harvestable feed with its nutritional profile highly dependent on diet which manipulated through bioencapsulation. This study evaluates effects two types commonly used Artemia: spirulina yeast, how this affects growth, conversion ratio (FCR),...
The taxonomic status of the geographically isolated population Short-toed Snake-eagle Circaetus gallicus on Lesser Sundas (=Nusa Tenggara) has been controversial. In past they have regarded as either a migrant or recently arrived resident population. Here we obtained DNA sequences from mitochondrial cytochrome-b gene and combined genetic data with assessments published novel morphological to clarify C. gallicus. distance between Palearctic populations is consistent subspecific...
Traditional classification of many animals, including birds, has been highly dependent on external morphological characters like plumage coloration. However, both bioacoustics and genetic or genomic data have revolutionized our understanding the relationships certain lineages led to sweeping taxonomic re-organizations. In this study, we present a case erroneous delimitation genus boundaries in species-rich avian flycatcher subfamily Niltavinae. Genera within historically be delineated based...
