Barbet (dog)
The Barbet is a medium-sized breed of French water dog. It is a rare breed. The breed's name comes from the French word , meaning 'beard'. Description Appearance The barbet is a prototypic water dog, with a long, woolly, and curly coat. Their coats grow continuously and must be trimmed and groomed regularly, otherwise the coat can become matted.

Male Barbets are usually tall and between , while females usually reach and . Temperament The Barbet is described as friendly, obedient, and intelligent. Due to their history as water dogs, many Barbet love swimming and playing in water. They are capable retrievers for waterfowl hunting. In France, the barbet can take the (TAN), a basic water-retrieving test, and has recently been permitted to participate in the (BCE), a general hunting-dog test involvin ...

Semnornithidae
The toucan-barbets are small birds in the genus ''Semnornis''. The genus was often included in the paraphyletic barbets, but recently is usually classified into a distinct family, Semnornithidae; alternatively, all barbets might be moved to the toucan family Ramphastidae as a subfamily, Semnornithinae. Toucan-barbets comprise only two species: the toucan barbet (''S. ramphastinus'') and the prong-billed barbet (''S. frantzii''). Taxonomy The phylogenetic relationship between the toucan-barbets and the eight other families in the order Piciformes is shown in the cladogram below. The number of species in each family is taken from the list maintained by Frank Gill, Pamela C. Rasmussen and David Donsker on behalf of the International Ornithological Committee (IOC). Description The ''Semnornis'' barbets are fairly large barbets, measuring between . The toucan barbet is larger than the prong-billed barbet and considerably heavier. They possess large, swollen bills and lack stro ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Capitonidae
The New World barbets are a family, Capitonidae, of 15 birds in the order Piciformes, which inhabit humid forests in Central and South America. They are closely related to the toucans. The New World barbets are plump birds, with short necks and large heads. They get their name from the bristles that fringe their heavy bills. Most species are brightly coloured and live in tropical forest. These barbets are mostly arboreal birds, which nest in tree holes dug by breeding pairs, laying two to four eggs. They eat fruit and insects. These birds do not bird migration, migrate. Taxonomy Fossil New World barbets have been found dating from the Miocene in Florida. The closest relatives of the barbets are the toucans, and these two families are also closely related to the honeyguides and woodpeckers (with which they form the order (biology), order Piciformes). Formerly, the barbets have been treated as one family Family (from ) is a Social group, group of people related either by ...

Ramphastides
Ramphastides is an infraorder of the order Piciformes that includes toucans and barbets. Formerly, the barbets have been classified in a single family, the Capitonidae. However, this has turned out to be paraphyletic Paraphyly is a taxonomic term describing a grouping that consists of the grouping's last common ancestor and some but not all of its descendant lineages. The grouping is said to be paraphyletic ''with respect to'' the excluded subgroups. In co ... with regard to toucans, which resulted in the Capitonidae being split into several families.

Lybiidae
Lybiidae is a family (biology), family of birds also known as the African barbets. There are 44 species ranging from the type genus ''Lybius'' of forest interior to the tinkerbirds (''Pogoniulus'') of forest and scrubland. They are found throughout sub-Saharan Africa, with the exception of the far south-west of South Africa. The African terrestrial barbets, Trachyphoninae, range from the southern Sahara to South Africa. Members of one genus, ''Trachyphonus'', are the most open-country species of barbets. The subfamily Lybiinae contains the African arboreal barbets. There are 37 species of Lybiinae in 6 genera. Taxonomy The Phylogenetics, phylogenetic relationship between the African barbets and the eight other families in the Order (biology), order Piciformes is shown in the cladogram below.

Megalaimidae
Megalaimidae, the Asian barbets, are a family of birds, comprising two genera with 35 species native to the forests of the Indomalayan realm from Tibet to Indonesia. They were once clubbed with all barbets in the family Capitonidae but the Old World species have been found to be distinctive and are considered, along with the Lybiidae and Ramphastidae, as sister groups. Taxonomy In the past the species were placed in three genera, ''Caloramphus'', ''Megalaima'' and ''Psilopogon'', but studies show that ''Psilopogon'' to be nested within the clade of ''Megalaima''. Since members of this clade are better treated under a single genus, they have been moved to the genus ''Psilopogon'' which was described and erected earlier than ''Megalaima'' and is therefore chosen on the basis of taxonomic priority principles. Nearly all members of the family are now in the genus ''Psilopogon'', with the exception of those in ''Caloramphus'', which are thought to have Genetic divergence, genetically d ...
