Saudareos
''Saudareos'' is a genus of parrot in the family Psittaculidae. Taxonomy The genus ''Saudareos'' was introduced in 2020 for a clade of lorikeets that form a sister clade to ''Eos''. The type species is the ornate lorikeet. The genus name combines the Indonesian language "saudara" meaning "sister" with the genus name ''Eos''. The genus contains three species which were formerly assigned to ''Trichoglossus'' and one that was assigned to ''Psitteuteles. The genus contains the following five species: * Mindanao lorikeet (''Saudareos johnstoniae'') – formerly placed in ''Trichoglossus'' * Sula lorikeet (''Saudareos flavoviridis'') – formerly placed in ''Trichoglossus'' * Yellow-cheeked lorikeet (''Saudareos meyeri'') – split from ''S. flavoviridis'' * Ornate lorikeet (''Saudareos ornata'') – formerly placed in ''Trichoglossus'' * Iris lorikeet The iris lorikeet (''Saudareos iris'') is a small, up to 20 cm long, green lorikeet bird. The male has a red forehead, yellow ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Ornate Lorikeet
The ornate lorikeet (''Saudareos ornata''), sometimes named the ornate lory, is a species of parrot in the family Psittaculidae. It is endemic to the Sulawesi archipelago in Indonesia.Coates, B. J., & K. D. Bishop (1997). ''A Guide to the Birds of Wallacea.'' Dove Publications Pty. Ltd. It is found in forest, woodland, mangrove and plantations, and is locally common. Taxonomy The ornate lorikeet was formally described by the Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus in 1758 in the tenth edition of his ''Systema Naturae'' under the binomial name ''Psittacus ornatus''. Linnaeus based his description of the "Lory Parrakeet" that had been described and illustrated in 1751 by George Edwards in his "A Natural History of Uncommon Birds". Linnaeus mistakenly specified the location as "America" although Edwards had stated that the bird had come from the " East Indies" (actually the Indonesian island of Sulawesi).

Mindanao Lorikeet
The Mindanao lorikeet or Mount Apo lorikeet (''Saudareos johnstoniae'') is a species of parrot in the family Psittaculidae. There are two very similar subspecies, which are both endemic to Mindanao, Philippines. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. It is threatened by habitat loss and trapping for the illegal wildlife trade. IUCN estimates the population to be as low as 1,500 individuals with it going locally extinct in areas of its range. Taxonomy The Mindanao lorikeet was formerly placed in the genus ''Trichoglossus'' but was moved to a newly introduced genus ''Saudareos'' based on the results of a molecular genetic analysis of the lorikeets published in 2020. There are two poorly differentiated subspecies:Forshaw (2006). plate 13. *''S. j. johnstoniae'' – central and southeast Mindanao *''S. j. pistra'' – western Mindanao Description The Mindanao lorikeet is 20 cm (8 in) long.

Sula Lorikeet
The Sula lorikeet (''Saudareos flavoviridis'') is a species of parrot in the family Psittaculidae. It is endemic to the Sula Islands in Indonesia. It is found in forest and woodland at altitudes up to 2400 m.Coates, B. J., & K. D. Bishop (1997). ''A Guide to the Birds of Wallacea.'' pp. 334-335. Dove Publications Pty. Ltd. It is generally common. Taxonomy This species was formerly placed in the genus ''Trichoglossus'' but was moved to a newly introduced genus ''Saudareos'' based on the results of a molecular genetic analysis of the lorikeets published in 2020. It was formerly considered conspecific with the yellow-cheeked lorikeet and collectively called the citrine lorikeet. Description The Sula lorikeet is a mainly green parrot about 20 cm (8.0 in) long. Its bill is orange. In the nominate subspecies the head and chest are yellow, the latter narrowly scaled with green, and the lore Lore may refer to: * Folklore, acquired knowledge or traditional beliefs * ...

Iris Lorikeet
The iris lorikeet (''Saudareos iris'') is a small, up to 20 cm long, green lorikeet bird. The male has a red forehead, yellow nape, purple band back from eye between nape and cheek, and yellowish below. The female almost similar with red-marked green forecrown and yellowish green cheek. The iris lorikeet is distributed in the forests and woodlands on the islands of Wetar and Timor in the Lesser Sundas. It is found from sea level to altitude of 1,500m. The iris lorikeet is usually found in small flocks. Due to ongoing habitat loss, limited range and illegal trapping for the caged-bird trade, the iris lorikeet is evaluated as Near Threatened on IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. It is listed on Appendix II of CITES. Taxonomy The iris lorikeet was formerly placed in the genus '' Psitteuteles'' but was moved to a newly introduced genus '' Saudareos'' based on the results of a molecular genetic analysis of the lorikeets published in 2020.

Trichoglossus
''Trichoglossus'' is a genus of lorikeet in the Psittaculidae or true parrot superfamily. The genus is distributed widely through Australia, Wallacea and Melanesia, with outliers in the Philippines and Micronesia. Members of the genus are characterised by barring, sometimes prominently, on the upper breast. Taxonomy The genus ''Trichoglossus'' was introduced in 1826 by the English naturalist James Francis Stephens. The name combines the Ancient Greek ''thrix'' meaning "hair" and ''glōssa'' meaning "tongue". The type species was subsequently designated as the coconut lorikeet. Following the publication of a molecular phylogenetic study of the lorikeets in 2020, three species were moved from ''Trichoglossus '' to the newly erected genus ''Saudareos''. These were the Mindanao lorikeet, the ornate lorikeet The ornate lorikeet (''Saudareos ornata''), sometimes named the ornate lory, is a species of parrot in the family Psittaculidae.

Carl Linnaeus
Carl Linnaeus (; 23 May 1707 – 10 January 1778), also known after his ennoblement in 1761 as Carl von Linné Blunt (2004), p. 171. (), was a Swedish botanist, zoologist, taxonomist, and physician who formalised binomial nomenclature, the modern system of naming organisms. He is known as the "father of modern taxonomy". Many of his writings were in Latin; his name is rendered in Latin as and, after his 1761 ennoblement, as . Linnaeus was born in Råshult, the countryside of Småland, in southern Sweden. He received most of his higher education at Uppsala University and began giving lectures in botany there in 1730. He lived abroad between 1735 and 1738, where he studied and also published the first edition of his ' in the Netherlands. He then returned to Sweden where he became professor of medicine and botany at Uppsala. In the 1740s, he was sent on several journeys through Sweden to find and classify plants and animals. In the 1750s and 1760s, he continued to collect an ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Parrot
Parrots, also known as psittacines (), are birds of the roughly 398 species in 92 genera comprising the order Psittaciformes (), found mostly in tropical and subtropical regions. The order is subdivided into three superfamilies: the Psittacoidea ("true" parrots), the Cacatuoidea (cockatoos), and the Strigopoidea (New Zealand parrots). One-third of all parrot species are threatened by extinction, with higher aggregate extinction risk ( IUCN Red List Index) than any other comparable bird group. Parrots have a generally pantropical distribution with several species inhabiting temperate regions in the Southern Hemisphere, as well. The greatest diversity of parrots is in South America and Australasia. Characteristic features of parrots include a strong, curved bill, an upright stance, strong legs, and clawed zygodactyl feet. Many parrots are vividly coloured, and some are multi-coloured. Most parrots exhibit little or no sexual dimorphism in the visual spectrum. They form the most ...

Clade
A clade (), also known as a monophyletic group or natural group, is a group of organisms that are monophyletic – that is, composed of a common ancestor and all its lineal descendants – on a phylogenetic tree. Rather than the English term, the equivalent Latin term ''cladus'' (plural ''cladi'') is often used in taxonomical literature. The common ancestor may be an individual, a population, or a species (extinct or extant). Clades are nested, one in another, as each branch in turn splits into smaller branches. These splits reflect evolutionary history as populations diverged and evolved independently. Clades are termed monophyletic (Greek: "one clan") groups. Over the last few decades, the cladistic approach has revolutionized biological classification and revealed surprising evolutionary relationships among organisms. Increasingly, taxonomists try to avoid naming taxa that are not clades; that is, taxa that are not monophyletic. Some of the relationships between organisms ...
