Extracts from the naturalist's journal, published after his death in a biography prepared by his widow, Lucy (1787–1874), states that he was aboard ship ‘Drawing all day’ when the specimen was collected by one of his assistants. Consequently, Halley submitted that Audubon’s claim in the Ornithological biography to having first sighted the bird was fabricated and that his granddaughter Maria R. Audubon (1843–1925) doctored her alternate version of the journal to be consistent before she destroyed the original. However, Halley overlooked critical facts, including evidence that Lucy’s manuscript was compiled and edited by others; the published work contained numerous errors; and the journal entries for the previous two weeks were misdated and sometimes conjoined from multiple days, proving that her journal was not a faithful transcription of the original.","PeriodicalId":38973,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the British Ornithologists'' Club","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82675526","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Bishop","doi":"10.25226/bboc.v143i2.2023.a6","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.25226/bboc.v143i2.2023.a6","url":null,"abstract":"Summary. I discuss why the tropical island of New Guinea has long been important in the development of our understanding of birds. There are two sets of reasons: New Guinea's birds, and its geography and peoples. New Guinea birds include: the famous birds of paradise, bowerbirds, and megapodes, which evolved in New Guinea (or New Guinea plus Australia) and are still concentrated there; pigeons, parrots, and kingfishers, which are especially species-rich and diverse in New Guinea and radiated there, whether or not they originally evolved there; and many groups that are morphologically and ecologically similar to European groups, such as ‘wrens’, ‘creepers’, and ‘nuthatches’, but that proved to be ‘lookalikes’ that evolved independently in New Guinea / Australia, just as numerous marsupial mammals and placental mammals converged on similar morphologies. Finally, the poisonous pitohuis and ifrit independently acquired the same neurotoxin as did South American poison-dart frogs; and a melampitta roosts and nests underground. The advantages offered by the island itself include: its equatorial location and its high mountains, so that New Guinea offers the entire range of habitats from coral reefs and rainforests through alpine grassland and glaciers on one short transect; the ‘right size’ (sufficient species to illuminate but not too many species so as to confuse); a simple geographic layout comprising a central mountain chain and its lowland ring; hundreds of islands of three types; virtually complete knowledge of the composition of its resident avifauna at the level of species; and the encyclopedic knowledge of birds among traditional New Guinea peoples. As examples of phenomena of general biological interest that New Guinea birds have illuminated, I discuss elevational sequences of congeners, culture in bowerbirds, evolution of ‘aggressive mimicry’ of larger bird species by smaller birds, brown-and-black mixed-species foraging flocks, and selection for and against overwater dispersal. These birds, landscapes, and topics are illustrated by photographs by K. David Bishop.","PeriodicalId":38973,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the British Ornithologists'' Club","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80832241","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

New Guinea and its satellite islands are justly renowned for their spectacular and highly diverse, endemic avifauna. The oceanic island of Biak and its satellites, in Teluk Cenderawasih (formerly Geelvink Bay), Papua province, Indonesia, has an avifauna of c.159 species including the largest number of endemics of any island in the New Guinea region: seven species are strictly endemic to Biak and another six are shared with other Teluk Cenderawasih islands but not Yapen. Despite Biak attaining an elevation of c.1,034 m there are no species whose range on Biak is known to be entirely montane. We provide a physical description of Biak and its twin Supiori, and discuss the biogeography and conservation of their birds. We present a detailed checklist of all species recorded to date. Since the publication in 1939 of Mayr & Meyer de Schauensee, 66 species have been added to the Biak list, of which Short-eared Owl Asio flammeus and Black-winged Stilt Himantopus himantopus are new for the entire Australo-Papuan region and Grey Heron Ardea cinerea only the second for the region and first for New Guinea; 47 of these additions are also first records for any island in Teluk Cenderawasih. An appendix summarises the distribution and status of birds in Teluk Cenderawasih (excluding mainland New Guinea species only on Yapen).","PeriodicalId":38973,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the British Ornithologists'' Club","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74153705","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
