Latin
Latin (, or , ) is a classical language belonging to the Italic branch of the Indo-European languages. Latin was originally a dialect spoken in the lower Tiber area (then known as Latium) around present-day Rome, but through the power of the Roman Republic it became the dominant language in the Italian region and subsequently throughout the Roman Empire. Even after the fall of Western Rome, Latin remained the common language of international communication, science, scholarship and academia in Europe until well into the 18th century, when other regional vernaculars (including its own descendants, the Romance languages) supplanted it in common academic and political usage, and it eventually became a dead language in the modern linguistic definition. Latin is a highly inflected language, with three distinct genders (masculine, feminine, and neuter), six or seven noun cases (nominative, accusative, genitive, dative, ablative, and vocative), five declensions, four verb conjuga ...

Collared Titi
The collared titi monkey (''Cheracebus torquatus'') is a species of titi, a type of New World monkey. It is endemic to northern Brazil. Taxonomy At the end of the 1980s the genus ''Callicebus'' was revised from the Hershkovitz concept of three species to thirteen neotropical species, with the collared titi, ''Callicebus torquatus'', having four subspecies. In 2001 Colin Groves elevated one of the subspecies, the Colombian black-handed titi, ''C. t. medemi'', to ''Callicebus medemi'' and a year later Van Roosmalen ''et al.'' elevated the remaining subspecies to species. These last changes were made with few arguments to support the changes and were apparently influenced by the increasing use of the so-called phylogenetic species concept of Cracraft, which seeks to define species as the "smallest diagnosable cluster of individual organisms within which there is a parental pattern of ancestry and descent." The species complex was updated to ''Cheracebus'' in 2016. The recent disc ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ring Ouzel
The ring ouzel (''Turdus torquatus'') is a mainly European member of the thrush family Turdidae. It is a medium-sized thrush, in length and weighing . The male is predominantly black with a conspicuous white crescent across its breast. Females are browner and duller than males, and young birds may lack the pale chest markings altogether. In all but the northernmost part of its range, this is a high-altitude species, with three races breeding in mountains from Ireland east to Iran. It breeds in open mountain areas with some trees or shrubs, the latter often including heather, conifers, beech, hairy alpenrose or juniper. It is a migratory bird, leaving the breeding areas to winter in southern Europe, North Africa and Turkey, typically in mountains with juniper bushes. The typical clutch is 3–6 brown-flecked pale blue or greenish-blue eggs. They are incubated almost entirely by the female, with hatching normally occurring after 13 days. The altricial, downy chicks fledge i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
African Stonechat
The African stonechat or common stonechat (''Saxicola torquatus'') is a species of the Old World flycatcher family (Muscicapidae), inhabiting sub-Saharan Africa and adjacent regions. Like the other chats, it was long assigned to the thrush family (Turdidae), to which the chats are convergent. Its scientific name refer to its appearance and habitat and means "collared rock-dweller": ''Saxicola'' from Latin ''saxum'' ("rock") + ''incola'' ("one who dwells in a place"), ''torquatus'', Latin for "collared". In the past ''S. torquatus'' usually referred to the entire "common stonechat" superspecies and some sources still keep it that way, but all available evidence strongly supports full species status for the European (''S. rubicola'') and the Siberian stonechat (''S. maurus'') of temperate Eurasia, in addition to the island-endemics Fuerteventura chat (''S. dacotiae'') and Réunion stonechat (''S. tectes'') which were never unequivocally accepted into ''S. torquatus''.

The rufous-winged antshrike (''Thamnophilus torquatus'') is a species of bird in the family Thamnophilidae. It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, and Paraguay; the northwestern half of its range is much of the southeast Amazon Basin.

Black-collared Bulbul
The black-collared bulbul (''Neolestes torquatus''), or black-collared greenbul, is a species of songbird in the bulbul family, Pycnonotidae. It is monotypic within the genus ''Neolestes''. For many years, some authorities considered the genus to belong to the bushshrike or shrike families due to shape and plumage similarities until a review of molecular genetic relationships in 1999 confirmed the behavioural and morphological affinities to Pycnonotidae. The black-collared bulbul is found in equatorial Africa in its natural habitat of dry savanna A savanna or savannah is a mixed woodland-grassland (i.e. grassy woodland) ecosystem characterised by the trees being sufficiently widely spaced so that the canopy does not close. The open canopy allows sufficient light to reach the ground to ....

White-tailed Shrike
The white-tailed shrike (''Lanioturdus torquatus'') is a small passerine bird from the family wattle-eye, Platysteiridae. It is also known as the chatshrike or ground batis. It occurs only in western Angola and Namibia in thorn scrub. It forages from ground level, where it hops about in large bounds and upright posture, to 25m above ground, scanning for insects. The very short tail, with a small black mark at the tip of the central two feathers, is always carried down, never sticking up. Its range of calls includes loud ringing territorial whistles. This curious bird, which some consider to have close affinities with the batis (bird), batises and others the bushshrikes, was discovered in 1837 by James Edward Alexander in the Naukluft Mountains of Namibia. Waterhouse subsequently described it in 1838, the name ''Lanioturdus'' ('shrike-thrush') reflecting the uncertainty of its classification, and ''torquatus'' denoting 'collared'. The sexes have a similar appearance. It is a comm ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
