Aegithalos Caudatus Vinaceus
''Aegithalos'' is a songbird genus in the family Aegithalidae. Taxonomy The genus ''Aegithalos'' was introduced in 1804 by the French naturalist Johann Hermann to accommodate a single species, the long-tailed tit. The genus name was a term used by Aristotle for some European tits, including the long-tailed tit. Species The genus contains following ten species In biology, a species is the basic unit of classification and a taxonomic rank of an organism, as well as a unit of biodiversity. A species is often defined as the largest group of organisms in which any two individuals of the appropriate s ...: Fossil record *''Aegithalos gaspariki'' (Late Miocene of Polgardi, Hungary) Kessler, E. 2013.

Long-tailed Tit
The long-tailed tit (''Aegithalos caudatus''), also named long-tailed bushtit, is a common bird found throughout Europe and the Palearctic. The genus name ''Aegithalos'' was a term used by Aristotle for some European tits, including the long-tailed tit. Taxonomy and systematics The long-tailed tit was formally described by the Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus in 1758 in the tenth edition of his ''Systema Naturae'' under the binomial name ''Parus caudatus''. The specific epithet ''caudatus'' is the Latin word for "tailed". Linnaeus did not invent this Latin name. "''Parus caudatus''" had been used by earlier authors such as the Swiss naturalist Conrad Gessner in 1555, the Italian naturalist Ulisse Aldrovandi in 1599, and the English ornithologist Francis Willughby in 1676. Willughby listed the English name as the "long tail'd titmouse". Its previous common nickname in everyday English was the bum-towel, from the shape of its tail. The long-tailed tit was first classified as a t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Pygmy Bushtit
The pygmy bushtit (''Aegithalos exilis'') is a species of bird in the bushtit family Aegithalidae. The species was once placed, along with the rest of its family, with the true tits, Paridae. It is endemic to Indonesia, where it occurs only on the island of Java. On Java it is restricted to montane forests and plantations above and occasionally down to in the west of the island. It frequents conifer forest and other open forest types, and is often encountered on the forest edge. The pygmy bushtit is the smallest member of its family, and the smallest passerine. It is in length. The pygmy bushtit was formerly placed in its own monotypic genus ''Psaltria''. It was moved to the current genus ''Aegithalos'' based on the results of a molecular phylogenetic study published in 2016.

Pygmy Tit - Cibodas Bot
In anthropology, pygmy peoples are ethnic groups whose average height is unusually short. The term pygmyism is used to describe the phenotype of endemic short stature (as opposed to disproportionate dwarfism occurring in isolated cases in a population) for populations in which adult men are on average less than tall. The term is primarily associated with the African Pygmies, the hunter-gatherers of the Congo Basin (comprising the Bambenga, Bambuti and Batwa). The terms "Asiatic Pygmies" and "Oceanian pygmies" have been used to describe the Negrito populations of Southeast Asia and Australo-Melanesian peoples of short stature. The Taron people of Myanmar are an exceptional case of a "pygmy" population of East Asian phenotype. Etymology The term ''pygmy'', as used to refer to diminutive people, derives from Greek πυγμαῖος ''pygmaios'' via Latin ''Pygmaei'' (sing. ''Pygmaeus''), derived from πυγμή – meaning a short forearm cubit, or a measure of length ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
