Mixornis
''Mixornis'' is a genus of passerine birds in the Old World babbler family Timaliidae. Taxonomy These species were formerly placed in the genus '' Macronus''. A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2012 found that ''Macronus'' was not monophyletic. To create monophyletic genera ''Macronus'' was split and some species moved to the resurrected genus ''Mixornis''. ''Mixornis'' had been introduced in 1842 by the English zoologist Edward Blyth to accommodate the taxon ''Timalia chloris''. This is a junior synonym of ''Macronous gularis rubicapillus'' which had been described in 1833 by Samuel Tickell. It is now one of the subspecies of the pin-striped tit-babbler (''Mixornis gularis rubicapilla''). The genus name combines the Ancient Greek ''mixis'' meaning "mixed" or "mingling" with ''ornis'' meaning "bird". Species The genus includes the following species: References *Collar, N.

Pin-striped Tit-babbler
The pin-striped tit-babbler (''Mixornis gularis''), also known as the yellow-breasted babbler, is a species of bird in the Old World babbler family Timaliidae that is found in South and Southeast Asia. Taxonomy and systematics The pin-striped tit-babbler was formally described in 1822 by the American naturalist Thomas Horsfield based on a specimen collected in Sumatra. He coined the binomial name ''Timalia gularis''. The pin-striped tit-babbler was formerly placed in the genus ''Macronus'' but based on the results of a large molecular phylogenetic study published in 2019, the species was moved to the genus ''Mixornis'' that had been introduced in 1842 by the English zoologist Edward Blyth. The genus name combines the Ancient Greek ''mixis'' meaning "mixed" or "mingling" with ''ornis'' meaning "bird". The specific epithet ''gularis'' is Modern Latin meaning "-throated". The pin-striped tit-babbler belongs within a clade that includes the genera ''Dumetia'' and '' Timalia''. The ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

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 Koi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Handbook Of The Birds Of The World
The ''Handbook of the Birds of the World'' (HBW) is a multi-volume series produced by the Spanish publishing house Lynx Edicions in partnership with BirdLife International. It is the first handbook to cover every known living species of bird. The series was edited by Josep del Hoyo, Andrew Elliott, Jordi Sargatal and David A. Christie. All 16 volumes have been published. For the first time an animal class will have all the species illustrated and treated in detail in a single work. This has not been done before for any other group in the animal kingdom. Material in each volume is grouped first by family, with an introductory article on each family; this is followed by individual species accounts (taxonomy, subspecies and distribution, descriptive notes, habitat, food and feeding, breeding, movements, status and conservation, bibliography). In addition, all volumes except the first and second contain an essay on a particular ornithological theme. More than 200 renowned specia ...

Subspecies
In biological classification, subspecies is a rank below species, used for populations that live in different areas and vary in size, shape, or other physical characteristics ( morphology), but that can successfully interbreed. Not all species have subspecies, but for those that do there must be at least two. Subspecies is abbreviated subsp. or ssp. and the singular and plural forms are the same ("the subspecies is" or "the subspecies are"). In zoology, under the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, the subspecies is the only taxonomic rank below that of species that can receive a name. In botany and mycology, under the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants, other infraspecific ranks, such as variety, may be named. In bacteriology and virology, under standard bacterial nomenclature and virus nomenclature, there are recommendations but not strict requirements for recognizing other important infraspecific ranks.
