Arses (genus)
''Arses'' is a genus of monarch flycatchers in the family Monarchidae. The genus is restricted to forest and secondary forest, second growth on the island of New Guinea, a few surrounding islands and northern Queensland, Australia. The genus is separated by their frilled necks, fleshy blue eye wattles and delicate pendent nests. They also have a distinctive foraging technique, hopping up tree trunks in a spiral fashion. Taxonomy The genus ''Arses'' was introduced by the French naturalist René Lesson in 1831. The type species was subsequently designated as the frilled monarch (''Arses telescopthalmus'') by English zoologist George Robert Gray in 1840. The genus name is from the Persian king Arses of Persia, Arses who ruled from 338 until 336 BC.

Frilled Monarch
The frilled monarch (''Arses telescopthalmus'') is a species of bird in the family Monarchidae. As currently defined, its range is restricted to forest on New Guinea and nearby smaller islands, but historically it has included some or all of the remaining members of the genus '' Arses'' as subspecies. Taxonomy and systematics This species was originally described in the genus ''Muscicapa''. Some authorities consider the ochre-collared monarch and the frill-necked monarch as subspecies of the frilled monarch. Alternate names include the Australian frilled monarch and frilled flycatcher. Subspecies Five subspecies are recognized: * ''A. t. batantae'' - Sharpe, 1879: Formerly classified by some authorities as a subspecies of the frill-necked monarch. Found on Batanta and Waigeo (western Papuan islands) * ''A. t. telescopthalmus'' - ( Lesson & Garnot, 1827): Found on Salawati and Misool (western Papuan islands) and north-western New Guinea * ''A. t. aruensis'' - Sharpe, 1879: F ...

Pied Monarch
The pied monarch (''Arses kaupi'') is a species of bird in the monarch-flycatcher family, Monarchidae. It is endemic to coastal Queensland in Australia. Taxonomy and systematics The pied monarch was described by John Gould in 1851, who deliberated on placing it in a genus by itself on account of its feet and eye ring. The nest and eggs were undescribed until collected by Robert Hislop on 3 December 1894 near Bloomfield River. The pied monarch is closely related to and forms a superspecies with the two other species of monarch flycatcher in the genus '' Arses''. Two subspecies are recognised, however they two intergrade where their ranges meet at Mossman, and they could be treated as a monotypic species. The monarch flycatchers are classified either as a subfamily Monarchinae, together with the fantails as part of the drongo family Dicruridae, or as a family Monarchidae in its own right. Molecular research in the late 1980s and early 1990s revealed the monarchs belong to a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Arses Kaupi -Australia-8
Arses (; ), also known by his regnal name Artaxerxes IV (; ; ), was the twelfth Achaemenid King of Kings from 338 to 336 BC. Arses ascended the throne, after his father Artaxerxes III—who had caused a resurgence of the Persian Empire—was poisoned by the eunuch Bagoas. The latter put Arses on the throne with the expectation of being able to control him. With the weakening of the Achaemenid Empire from the assassination of Artaxerxes III and the succession of Arses, the Greek league sent troops into Asia in 336. Arses, in an attempt to free himself from Bagoas' influences, tried to have the eunuch poisoned; but did not succeed, instead succumbing to poison himself at the orders of Bagoas. Bagoas put Arses' cousin Darius III on the throne after him. Name He is known as in Greek sources and that seems to have been his real name, but the Xanthus trilingue and potsherds from Samaria report that he took the royal name of Artaxerxes IV, following his father and grandfather. i ...

Type Species
In International_Code_of_Zoological_Nomenclature, zoological nomenclature, a type species (''species typica'') is the species name with which the name of a genus or subgenus is considered to be permanently taxonomically associated, i.e., the species that contains the biological Type (biology), type wiktionary:en:specimen, specimen (or specimens). Article 67.1 A similar concept is used for suprageneric groups and called a type genus. In botanical nomenclature, these terms have no formal standing under the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants, code of nomenclature, but are sometimes borrowed from zoological nomenclature. In botany, the type of a genus name is a specimen (or, rarely, an illustration) which is also the type of a species name. The species name with that type can also be referred to as the type of the genus name. Names of genus and family ranks, the various subdivisions of those ranks, and some higher-rank names based on genus names, have suc ...

René Primevère Lesson
René (''Born again (Christianity), born again'' or ''reborn'' in French language, French) is a common given name, first name in French-speaking, Spanish-speaking, and German-speaking countries.

In addition, both forms are used as surnames (family names). René as a first name given to boys in the United States reached its peaks in popularity in 1969 and 1983 when it ranked 256th. Since 1983 its popularity has steadily declined and it ranked 881st in 2016. René as a first name given to girls in the United States reached its peak in popularity in 1962 when it ranked 306th.
