Anthracoceros
''Anthracoceros'' is a genus of birds in the family Bucerotidae. The genus was introduced by the German naturalist Ludwig Reichenbach in 1849. The type species was subsequently designated as the Malabar pied hornbill (''Anthracoceros coronatus''). The name is a combination of the Ancient Greek words ανθραξ ''anthrax'', ανθρακος ''anthrakos'' meaning "coal black" and κερας ''keras'', κερως ''kerōs'' meaning "horn". A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2013 found that ''Anthracoceros'' was sister to the genus ''Ocyceros ''Ocyceros'' is a genus of birds in the family Bucerotidae.

Oriental Pied Hornbill
The oriental pied hornbill (''Anthracoceros albirostris'') is an Indo-Malayan pied hornbill, a large canopy-dwelling bird belonging to the family Bucerotidae. Two other common names for this species are Sunda pied hornbill (''convexus'') and Malaysian pied hornbill. The species is considered to be among the smallest and most common of the Asian hornbills. It has the largest distribution in the genus and is found in the Indian Subcontinent and throughout Southeast Asia. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests. The oriental pied hornbill's diet includes fruit, insects, shellfish, small reptiles and, sometimes, small mammals and birds including their eggs. Taxonomy The Oriental hornbill, of the family Bucerotidae, belongs to the genus ''Anthracoceros'', which consists of five species. Species in this genus are divided into two groups, Indo-Malayan pied hornbills and black hornbills. ''A. albirostris'' is grouped under the Indo-Malayan pied hornbills, bas ...

Malabar Pied Hornbill
The Malabar pied hornbill (''Anthracoceros coronatus''), also known as lesser pied hornbill, is a bird in the Hornbill, hornbill family, a family of tropical near-passerine birds found in the Old World. Taxonomy The Malabar pied hornbill was described by the French polymath Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon in 1780 in his ''Histoire Naturelle des Oiseaux''. The bird was also illustrated in a hand-coloured plate engraved by François-Nicolas Martinet in the ''Planches Enluminées D'Histoire Naturelle'' which was produced under the supervision of Edme-Louis Daubenton to accompany Buffon's text. Neither the plate caption nor Buffon's description included a scientific name but in 1783 the Dutch naturalist Pieter Boddaert coined the binomial name ''Buceros coronatus'' in his catalogue of the ''Planches Enluminées''. The Malabar pied hornbill is now placed in the genus ''Anthracoceros'' that was introduced by the German naturalist Ludwig Reichenbach in 1849. The species is monot ...

Anthracoceros Malayanus
The black hornbill (''Anthracoceros malayanus'') is a species of bird of the hornbill family Bucerotidae. It lives in Asia in Brunei Darussalam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand. The Black-casqued Hornbill has a selectiveness towards the environment and resources when it comes to reproduction. This organism will only start breeding and nesting when there is a large supply of fruits available, and in trees of larger size. When there are limited resources available, and may curtail nesting for years when there is a low availability of fruits(4). It is the major seed disperser for ''Durio graveolens'', a species of durian. The connection is strong enough to reflect in some of the common names for the fruit: The Kenyah and Dayak peoples call it ''durian anggang'' ( lit. 'hornbill durian'), and in Malay it is called '/' (lit. 'durian bird'), Description The male has a yellowish bill while the female has a dark grey bill.

Bucerotidae
Hornbills (Bucerotidae) are a family of bird found in tropical and subtropical Africa, Asia and Melanesia. They are characterized by a long, down-curved bill which is frequently brightly coloured and sometimes has a casque on the upper mandible. Both the common English and the scientific name of the family refer to the shape of the bill, "buceros" being "cow horn" in Greek. Hornbills have a two-lobed kidney. They are the only birds in which the first and second neck vertebrae (the atlas and axis respectively) are fused together; this probably provides a more stable platform for carrying the bill. The family is omnivorous, feeding on fruit and small animals. They are monogamous breeders nesting in natural cavities in trees and sometimes cliffs. A number of mainly insular species of hornbill with small ranges are threatened with extinction, namely in Southeast Asia. In the Neotropical realm, toucans occupy the hornbills' ecological niche, an example of convergent evolution. Des ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
