Canastero
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'', respective ...

Ancient Greek
Ancient Greek includes the forms of the Greek language used in ancient Greece and the ancient world from around 1500 BC to 300 BC. It is often roughly divided into the following periods: Mycenaean Greek (), Dark Ages (), the Archaic period (), and the Classical period (). Ancient Greek was the language of Homer and of fifth-century Athenian historians, playwrights, and philosophers. It has contributed many words to English vocabulary and has been a standard subject of study in educational institutions of the Western world since the Renaissance. This article primarily contains information about the Epic and Classical periods of the language. From the Hellenistic period (), Ancient Greek was followed by Koine Greek, which is regarded as a separate historical stage, although its earliest form closely resembles Attic Greek and its latest form approaches Medieval Greek. There were several regional dialects of Ancient Greek, of which Attic Greek developed into Koine. Dia ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
