Birds Described In 1851
Birds are a group of warm-blooded vertebrates constituting the class Aves (), characterised by feathers, toothless beaked jaws, the laying of hard-shelled eggs, a high metabolic rate, a four-chambered heart, and a strong yet lightweight skeleton. Birds live worldwide and range in size from the bee hummingbird to the ostrich. There are about ten thousand living species, more than half of which are passerine, or "perching" birds. Birds have whose development varies according to species; the only known groups without wings are the extinct moa and elephant birds. Wings, which are modified forelimbs, gave birds the ability to fly, although further evolution has led to the loss of flight in some birds, including ratites, penguins, and diverse endemic island species. The digestive and respiratory systems of birds are also uniquely adapted for flight. Some bird species of aquatic environments, particularly seabirds and some waterbirds, have further evolved for swimm ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Asthenes
Canasteros and thistletails are small passerine birds of South America belonging to the genus ''Asthenes''. The name "canastero" comes from Spanish and means "basket-maker", referring to the large, domed nests these species make of sticks or grass. They inhabit shrublands and grasslands in temperate climates from the lowlands to the highlands. They feed on insects and other invertebrates gleaned from the ground or the low vegetation. Taxonomy The genus ''Asthenes'' was introduced in 1853 by the German naturalist Ludwig Reichenbach. The name is from Ancient Greek ''asthenēs'' meaning "insignificant". The type species was designated by George Robert Gray in 1855 as ''Synallaxis sordida'' Lesson. This taxon is now considered to be a subspecies of the sharp-billed canastero (''Asthenes pyrrholeuca sordida''). In 2010, it was discovered that the thistletails and the Itatiaia spinetail, formerly placed in their own genera (''Schizoeaca'' and ''Oreophylax'', respectively), are actu ...
