Several aspects of ornithology differ from related disciplines, due partly to the high visibility and th .... He took part in an expedition to Chile and described many species of birds in collaboration with Rodolfo Amando Philippi. He directed the publication of the ''Naturgeschichte aller Vögel Europas'' ("Natural history of all European birds"). Although the two scientists jointly described many species, the cactus ''Cereus coerulescens'' var. ''landbeckii'' was named by Philippi in honour of his colleague. Philippi also named the following (non-avian) species after Landbeck: * ''Calceolaria landbeckii'': (1860), botanical species in the family Calceolariaceae. * ''Gnaphalium landbeckii'': (1864), botanical species in the t ...

Birds Of Argentina
Birds are a group of warm-blooded vertebrates constituting the class Aves (), characterised by feathers, toothless beaked jaws, the laying of hard-shelled eggs, a high metabolic rate, a four-chambered heart, and a strong yet lightweight skeleton. Birds live worldwide and range in size from the bee hummingbird to the ostrich. There are about ten thousand living species, more than half of which are passerine, or "perching" birds. Birds have whose development varies according to species; the only known groups without wings are the extinct moa and elephant birds. Wings, which are modified forelimbs, gave birds the ability to fly, although further evolution has led to the loss of flight in some birds, including ratites, penguins, and diverse endemic island species. The digestive and respiratory systems of birds are also uniquely adapted for flight. Some bird species of aquatic environments, particularly seabirds and some waterbirds, have further evolved for swimming. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
