Anairetes Fernandezianus Juan Fernandez Tit-Tyrant; Robinson Crusoe Island, Chile
''Anairetes'' is a genus containing the tit-tyrants, a group of small, mainly Andean birds, in the tyrant flycatcher family Tyrannidae. The group briefly included the genus Uromyias, which had been recognized based on syringeal and plumage characters, including a flatter crest and a longer tail, but was included within ''Anairetes'' due to genetic analysis. Recent analyses suggested splitting into Uromyias again.DuBay, S.G., Witt, C.C. 2012. An improved phylogeny of the Andean tit-tyrants (Aves, Tyrannidae): More characters trump sophisticated analyses. Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution 64, 285-296. ''Anairetes'' is believed to be most closely related to the genera ''Mecocerculus'' and ''Serpophaga''; however, there is no definitive evidence supporting this claim.del Hoyo 2004, p. 176 They are fairly small birds (11–14 cm) that get their common name from the tit family, due to their energetic tit-like dispositions and appearance, primarily in their crests.

Tufted Tit-tyrant
The tufted tit-tyrant (''Anairetes parulus'') is a species of bird in the tyrant flycatcher family Tyrannidae. This species is found in western South America; its range stretches from southern Colombia south along the Andes mountains to Tierra del Fuego. It prefers to live in upper montane forests and shrublands; however, it is a habitat generalist and can be found across a wide range of ecosystems. The tufted tit-tyrant has three subspecies, including the nominate subspecies ''Anairetes parulus parulus'', ''A. p. aequatorialis'', and ''A. p. patagonicus'', and is very closely related to the Juan Fernández tit-tyrant. It is very small with a distinctive and conspicuous crest. The bird's head is black overall with white supraloral and postocular stripes. Its dull grayish-brown back contrasts with its white throat and breast that are covered with black streaks and pale, unmarked yellow underbelly. There are few noticeable differences in plumage between the subspecies. It is a voc ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Tit-tyrants
The tit-tyrants are a group of small, mainly Andean, tyrant flycatchers found in the genera ''Anairetes'' and ''Uromyias''. The tit-tyrants are fairly small birds (11–14 cm) that get their common name from the tit family, due to their energetic tit-like dispositions and appearance, primarily in their crests. Tit-tyrants live in temperate or arid scrub habitats and are mainly found in the Andes mountains.del Hoyo 2004, p. 177 It is one of only a few genera of small flycatchers that occur at such high altitudes.del Hoyo 2004, p. 190 Species Anairetes * Ash-breasted tit-tyrant, ''Anairetes alpinus'' * Black-crested tit-tyrant, ''Anairetes nigrocristatus'' * Pied-crested tit-tyrant, ''Anairetes reguloides'' * Yellow-billed tit-tyrant, ''Anairetes flavirostris'' * Juan Fernández tit-tyrant, ''Anairetes fernandezianus'' * Tufted tit-tyrant The tufted tit-tyrant (''Anairetes parulus'') is a species of bird in the tyrant flycatcher family Tyrannidae.

Handbook Of The Birds Of The World
The ''Handbook of the Birds of the World'' (HBW) is a multi-volume series produced by the Spanish publishing house Lynx Edicions in partnership with BirdLife International. It is the first handbook to cover every known living species of bird. The series was edited by Josep del Hoyo, Andrew Elliott, Jordi Sargatal and David A. Christie. All 16 volumes have been published. For the first time an animal class will have all the species illustrated and treated in detail in a single work. This has not been done before for any other group in the animal kingdom. Material in each volume is grouped first by family, with an introductory article on each family; this is followed by individual species accounts (taxonomy, subspecies and distribution, descriptive notes, habitat, food and feeding, breeding, movements, status and conservation, bibliography). In addition, all volumes except the first and second contain an essay on a particular ornithological theme. More than 200 renowned speci ...

Juan Fernández Tit-tyrant
The Juan Fernández tit-tyrant (''Anairetes fernandezianus'') is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae. It is endemic to the Juan Fernández Islands in the South Pacific Ocean off Chile. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, rural gardens, and urban areas. It is threatened by habitat loss Habitat destruction (also termed habitat loss and habitat reduction) is the process by which a natural habitat becomes incapable of supporting its native species. The organisms that previously inhabited the site are displaced or dead, thereby ....
