New documentation of pine forest nesting by the Critically Endangered Bahama Oriole ( Icterus northropi )

Abstract: The Bahama Oriole (Icterus northropi) is a Critically Endangered species endemic to The Bahamas and currently found only on the Andros island complex. With the elevation of the Bahama

Conservation Biology of the Critically Endangered Bahama Oriole: Estimating Current Population Size and Evaluating Threats

Colin Studds and Matthew Fagan (UMBC Geography) recently joined the project and could serve as graduate co-advisors. ABSTRACT: The Bahamas and adjacent Caribbean islands are home to eight island

CONSERVATION TAXONOMY OF THE GREATER ANTILLEAN ORIOLE ( ICTERUS DOMINICENSIS ) : DIAGNOSABLE PLUMAGE VARIATION AMONG ALLOPATRIC POPULATIONS SUPPORTS SPECIES STATUS

Allopatric populations, such as those present on islands, pose special challenges to identifying taxonomic boundaries which can be practically addressed using diagnostic criteria. To assess the

ASPECTS OF THE BREEDING BIOLOGY OF A SUBTROPICAL ORIOLE, ICTERUS GULARIS

1. gularis occurs from the Rio Grande Valley southward through eastern Mexico to Guatemala. This study was conducted at the northern limit of the range of the species, on the Santa Ana National

CONSERVATION TAXONOMY OF THE CUBAN PARROT ( AMAZONA LEUCOCEPHALA ): VARIATION IN MORPHOLOGY AND PLUMAGE

Conservation taxonomy, the study of organismal classification to clarify conservation priorities, seeks to define species and subspecies limits. Allopatric populations, such as those present on

INTRASPECIFIC VARIATION IN ELEPAIO FORAGING BEHAVIOR IN HAWAIIAN FORESTS OF DIFFERENT STRUCTURE

Intraspecific variation in foraging behavior of an endemic, insectiv- orous bird, the Elepaio, in two Hawaiian forests that differed in degree of human modification was studied, showing much flexibility in foraged behavior and used more-diverse attack maneuvers and substrates than related continental species.

Dry evergreen forest (coppice) communities of North Andros Island, Bahamas

Colonization of South America from Caribbean Islands Confirmed by Molecular Phylogeny with Increased Taxon Sampling

Orioles provide a striking example of reverse colonization that contradicts the traditional assumption in island biogeography of mainland-to-island colonization and implies that clade A orioles colonized mainland South America from Caribbean islands.

Historical biogeography of the Western Rattlesnake (Serpentes: viperidae: Crotalus viridis), inferred from mitochondrial DNA sequence information.

The phylogeny should represent the basis for further studies on the causes of geographical variation in this complex and allow the inferences that small body size evolved twice and that the ability of one population to secrete highly lethal toxins related to Mojave toxin arose within the complex.

Biodiversity on Oceanic Islands: Its Origin and Extinction1

The origin of island biotas start out depauperate and disharmonic, facilitating the survival of relict taxa and stimulating adaptive radiations, and the fate of these biotAs since human contact is examined.

Potential consequences of extinction of frugivorous birds for shrubs of a tropical wet forest.

In tropical wet forests of Costa Rica, a of how plant populations might be altered relatively small set of avian frugivores remove following extinction of one or more species and disperse most seeds of some understorey offrugivorous birds is investigated.

THE EPIZOOTIOLOGY AND ECOLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF MALARIA IN HAWAIIAN LAND BIRDS

Avian malaria probably did not reach epizootic proportions on Hawaii until after 1920, but since that time it has had a negative impact on the population dynamics of the native forest birds and is today a major limiting factor, restricting both abundance and distribution of these species on the island.
