Birds Of Eastern Himalaya
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 common ostrich. There are over 11,000 living species and they are split into 44 orders. More than half are passerine or "perching" birds. Birds have wings 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 furth ...

Trochalopteron
''Trochalopteron'' is a genus of passerine birds in the laughingthrush family Leiothrichidae. Taxonomy The genus ''Trochalopteron'' was introduced in 1843 by the English zoologist Edward Blyth. The name combines the Ancient Greek ''trokhalos'' meaning "round" or "bowed" with ''pteron'' meaning "wing". The type species was designated in 1930 by E. C. Stuart Baker as the scaly laughingthrush. Species The genus contains the following 19 species: Former species Two species that were formerly included in this genus have been moved to ''Montecincla'' based on phylogenetic studies that showed them to be more distantly related to the ''Trochalopteron'' clade than to a clade formed by species in the genera ''Leiothrix'', ''Actinodura'', ''Minla'', ''Crocias'' and ''Heterophasia''. * Black-chinned laughingthrush, ''Montecincla cachinnans'' (with ''jerdoni'' separated as a full species) * Kerala laughingthrush, ''Montecincla fairbanki'' References {{Taxonbar, from=Q2129285 Tro ...

Birds Of South Asia
''Birds of South Asia: The Ripley Guide'' by Pamela C. Rasmussen and John C. Anderton is a two-volume ornithological handbook, covering the birds of South Asia, published in 2005 (second edition in 2012) by the Smithsonian Institution and Lynx Edicions. The geographical scope of the book covers India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan, Maldives, the Chagos Archipelago and Afghanistan (the latter country had been excluded from previous works covering this region). In total, 1508 species are covered (this figure includes 85 hypothetical list of biota, hypothetical and 67 'possible' species, which are given only shorter accounts). Two notable aspects of ''Birds of South Asia'' are its distribution evidence-base — the book's authors based their distributional information almost completely on Zoological specimen, museum specimens — and its taxonomic approach, involving a large number of species-level splits. The books Volume 1 is a field guide. A nine-page in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
