Cleptornis Marchei: Bird Species

785 Words4 Pages

Golden White-eye (Cleptornis marchei) Manuscript Common Names Cleptornis marchei previously called Golden honeyeater (van Balen, B. & Sharpe, C.J. ,2016) now commonly referred to as Golden white-eye in English (Sibley, C. G.; Monroe, B. L., 1990) This species is also known in other countries such as France, Spain, and Germany due to its ranking. Its called Zostérops doré, Anteojitos Dorado, Goldhonigfresser respectively. (ICB, n.d.) Locally, the bird may be called Canario in the native tongue of its endemic islands known as Chamorro. (Radley, P., Kremer, S., and Tieber, A., n.d.) Conservation status According to the International Union for the Conservation of Nature(IUCN), the Golden White-eye (Cleptornis marchei), was first listed in 1988 …show more content…

They are can be found to mate year round on both islands in the Marianas. Nesting habits have been found to show that this species of bird is known to nest in a number of types of trees. Their nests usually hold an egg count of two eggs per clutch or batch. (Stinson, Colleen; Derek Stinson, 1994) In bring roosting, both parents have been seen taking part in caring for the eggs. …show more content…

Predation to the C marchei is brought on by Invasive species such as the brown tree snakes, rats (2005), Green tree skink (Hirschfeld, Erik ,2009) and introduced disease such as the avian flu. (Radley, P., Kremer, S., and Tieber, A, n.d.) The C marchei is also at risk of predation by native species such as the micronesian starlings and collared kingfishers, who are known nest predators of other bird species(Sachtleben, T., 2005). Another major threat to the population of this and many other endemic bird species is the constant Human development being done on the island of Saipan. This leaves less habitat for the birds to nest and leads to further competition in resources between species (Camp, R et al

    514 Words  | 3 Pages

    This article included many information such as,“Clapper rail survival patterns were consistent with hybrid Spartina providing increased refuge cover from predators during tidal extremes which flood native vegetation, particularly during the winter when the vegetation senescence” (Invasive Species…). We know that the most important factor that affects the clapper rail’s population is their surrounding, in order to help them we must start by removing invasive plants and replace it with plants that is helpful. The increase in invasive plants decrease the amount of spaces in which the clapper rail can build their nest, it causes many birds to die because of the lack of habitats. The invasive plants can also kill the harmless plants by taking away their nutrient, and it might take away all the possible space for nests. We can change this by replacing the invasive plants with harmless plants and even build nests for clapper

  • Boundary Bay Tradeoffs

    Their results indicated that there is a trade off with sandpipers between food availability and safety. There were far fewer than expected sandpipers in areas with high food abundance where the danger is high and greater than predicted numbers in areas where the safety increased. This led to the conclusion that the quality of a site for conservation should be determined by not only food abundance but also predation risks as well. Certain sites cannot be protected based on the fact that they have a high availability of food as those areas may also have an increased presence of predators. Pomeroys ' experiment suggests that both an abundant food source and the potential presence of predators can determine the choice of a site as a migratory stopover for sandpipers, and as such should be taken into consideration when determining habitat conservation acts for the

    The effects of where these larvae are laid can dictate the fate of these gall fly larvae. A study shows that avian predators can assess a gall 's content prior to pecking it open, preferring galls that are inhabited by gall fly larvae. Bird predation was found to be concentrated near the places with a lot of tree cover where S. gigantean a large centipede tends to pray few attacks occurred in the open where golden rods are prevalent. The study was a field experiment to observe the preference of avian predators on galls in different habitat types and that had different sizes, and heights of galls. It is possible that birds have either learned through experience or evolved through natural selection to choose the more profitable galls (Poff et al. 2002).

    In the recent years, there has been an increase of invasive species in Florida such as the Burmese phyton. These reptiles are initially from Southeast Asia but due to the irresponsibility of some pet owners, they have started to invade Florida specifically in the Everglades. So far, an alarming amount counting in the hundreds have been captured in the Everglades National Park, showing how important it is to keep their population under control and from wreaking havoc. Known for consuming birds and small mammals, they show an immense effect on the local ecosystem. Authorities have hired hunters and even started annual manhunt events for these pests.

  • Red Eared Sliders

    650 Words  | 3 Pages

    When fleeing from a predator, animals forfeit the ability to acquire additional resources and reduce their risk of predation (Frid & Dill, 2002). The avoidance of predation and the need to acquire resources to survive creates a tradeoff that animals must balance in order to survive. Flight initiation distance (FID) can be used to determine how animals perceive the risk of predation in their habitat (Stankowich & Blumstein, 2005). Although FID has been used to identify predatory risk assessments in birds, mammals and lizards, it has not yet been used to evaluate risk assessments in urban dwelling pond turtles. Red-eared sliders (Trachemys scripta) flee from a basking site into an aqueous environment when approached by a natural predator and forgo additional time basking in the sun.

The Northern Spotted owl is the largest of the three subspecies of spotted owls. They are medium sized, dark brown owls with barred tails and white spots on their head and breast. The males are slightly larger than the females and are often confused with the barred owl. They are primarily nocturnal but still forage opportunistically during the day.

    Introduction Predation is a biological interaction between two organisms of different species in a community in which one acts as a predator and captures and feeds on the other, the prey. Predator-prey relationships keep animal populations in balance. When prey populations increase more food is available for predators, and they increase in number as well. An increase in predators triggers a decrease in prey populations. As prey populations decrease predator populations soon follow as their food supply diminishes.
