Regulus (bird)
''Regulus'' is a genus of bird in the family Regulidae. It contains most kinglet species aside from the ruby-crowned kinglet (''Corthylio calendula''), which was formerly classified in ''Regulus'' but is now known to belong to its own genus. Taxonomy The name of the genus is derived from the Latin ''regulus'', a diminutive of ''rex'', "a king", and refers to the characteristic orange or yellow crests of adult kinglets. Several forms have only recently had their status clarified. The Madeira firecrest was formerly considered to be a subspecies, ''R. i. madeirensis'', of the common firecrest ''R. ignicapillus''. A phylogenetic analysis based on the cytochrome b gene showed that the Madeiran form is distinct at the species level from the firecrest nominate subspecies ''R. i. ignicapillus''. Cytochrome ''b'' gene divergence between the Madeira firecrest and the European bird is 8.5%, comparable with the divergence level between other recognised ''Regulus'' species, such as t ...

Golden-crowned Kinglet
The golden-crowned kinglet (''Regulus satrapa'') is a very small songbird in the family Regulidae that lives throughout much of North America. Description Adults are olive-gray on the upperparts with white underparts, with thin bills and short tails. They have white wing bars, a black stripe through the eyes and a yellow crown surrounded by black. The adult male has an orange patch in the middle of the yellow crown. The juvenile is similar to the adult, but with a browner back and without the yellow crown. This is one of the smallest passerines in North America. Its length, at , is probably the shortest of any American passerine. However, its weight, which averages around , with a range of , is marginally more on average than the American bushtit and black-tailed gnatcatcher. The golden-crowned kinglet has a wingspan of 5.5-7.1 in (14-18 cm). Ecology The golden-crowned kinglet forages actively in trees or shrubs, mainly eating insects, insect eggs and spiders. It produces ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Association Of European Rarities Committees
The Association of European Rarities Committees is a co-ordinating and liaison body for the bird rarities committees of Europe and other nearby countries. It was created in 1993 at a meeting of European rarities committees on the Germany, German island of Heligoland. The association's aims are as follows: * Encourage the founding of a national rarities committee in every European country * Provide help for national committees when requested to do so * Prepare and maintain a European bird list * Organize meetings of delegates of the national committees at approximately two-year intervals to maintain personal contact, information exchange and co-operation For a list of AERC members, see List of the member committees of the Association of European Rarities Committees External links * https://web.archive.org/web/20060824023904/http://www.aerc.eu/ AERC Website References Bird rarities committees {{Europe-org-stub ...

Taxonomic Sequence
Taxonomic sequence (also known as systematic, phyletic or taxonomic order) is a sequence followed in listing of taxa which aids ease of use and roughly reflects the evolutionary relationships among the taxa. Taxonomic sequences can exist for taxa within any rank, that is, a list of families, genera, species can each have a sequence. Early biologists used the concept of "age" or "primitiveness" of the groups in question to derive an order of arrangement, with "older" or more "primitive" groups being listed first and more recent or "advanced" ones last. A modern understanding of evolutionary biology has brought about a more robust framework for the taxonomic ordering of lists. A list may be seen as a rough one-dimensional representation of a phylogenetic tree. Taxonomic sequences are essentially heuristic devices that help in arrangements of linear systems such as books and information retrieval systems. Since phylogenetic relationships are complex and non-linear, there is no u ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Journal Of Ornithology
The ''Journal of Ornithology'' (formerly ''Journal für Ornithologie'') is a scientific journal published by Springer Science+Business Media on behalf of the Deutsche Ornithologen-Gesellschaft. It was founded by Jean Cabanis in 1853, becoming the official journal of the Deutsche Ornithologen-Gesellschaft in 1854. The first issue was produced in January 1853 and Cabanis noted that although there were specialist journals in entomology and conchology that there was nothing to deal with ornithology in Germany. Among the first essays published in the journal, was an essay by Reichenbach on the concept of species. According to the ''Journal Citation Reports'', the journal has a 2012 impact factor of 1.632.

Himalayas
The Himalayas, or Himalaya (; ; ), is a mountain range in Asia, separating the plains of the Indian subcontinent from the Tibetan Plateau. The range has some of the planet's highest peaks, including the very highest, Mount Everest. Over 100 peaks exceeding in elevation lie in the Himalayas. By contrast, the highest peak outside Asia (Aconcagua, in the Andes) is tall. The Himalayas abut or cross five countries: Bhutan, India, Nepal, China, and Pakistan. The sovereignty of the range in the Kashmir region is disputed among India, Pakistan, and China. The Himalayan range is bordered on the northwest by the Karakoram and Hindu Kush ranges, on the north by the Tibetan Plateau, and on the south by the Indo-Gangetic Plain. Some of the world's major rivers, the Indus, the Ganges, and the Tsangpo– Brahmaputra, rise in the vicinity of the Himalayas, and their combined drainage basin is home to some 600 million people; 53 million people live in the Himalayas.

Flamecrest
The flamecrest or Taiwan firecrest (''Regulus goodfellowi'') ( zh, t=火冠戴菊鳥 or ), is a species of bird in the kinglet family, Regulidae, that is endemic to the mountains of Taiwan. Description The flamecrest is a small perching bird, resembling a warbler. Its length is only and weight about 7 g, making it the smallest of all Taiwan's endemic bird species, and the smallest and most colourful member of its family in the world. The top of its head is yellow and orange, with black crown stripes. White feathers encircling the black eye-patches give it the appearance of having two black eyes. The most distinguishing characteristic is the orange-yellow crest on top of the head, for which it is named. Females have the crown stripe pure yellow while males have an orange centre to it. When excited the male erects the crest. The supercilium is very broad and the lores and forehead are whitish. There is a narrow short black malar stripe. The chin is whitish and the throat, ...
