156) Crypturellus bartletti; kusacz płowy, Bartlett's tinamou (kusacz Bartletta) - gatunek kusacza występującym w nizinnych lasach Ameryki Południowej.

Kusacz Bartletta to gatunek monotypowy. Wszystkie kusacze należą do rodziny kusakowatych, a w szerszym ujęciu są również bezgrzebieniowcami. W przeciwieństwie do innych bezgrzebieniowców, kusacze potrafią latać, chociaż generalnie nie są dobrymi lotnikami. Wszystkie bezgrzebieniowce wyewoluowały z prehistorycznych ptaków latających, a kusacze są najbliższymi żyjącymi krewnymi tych ptaków.

Crypturellus powstało z trzech łacińskich lub greckich słów. Kruptos oznaczający ukryty, oura oznaczający ogon i ellus oznaczający zdrobnienie. Dlatego Crypturellus oznacza mały ukryty ogon. Bartletti pochodzi od łacińskiej formy Bartlett, aby upamiętnić Edwarda Bartletta.

Kusacze Bartletta występują na bagnach i nizinnych lasach w regionach subtropikalnych i tropikalnych do wysokości 500 m (1600 stóp). Gatunek ten pochodzi z zachodniej części Amazonii w Brazylii, północnej Boliwii i wschodniego Peru w Ameryce Południowej. Występuje również we wschodnim Ekwadorze. W swoim zasięgu występowania jest uważany za rzadki.

Podobnie jak inne kusacze, kusacz Bartletta zjada owoce z ziemi lub nisko położonych krzewów. Zjada również niewielkie ilości bezkręgowców, pąki kwiatowe, delikatne liście, nasiona i korzenie. Samiec wysiaduje jaja, które mogą pochodzić od nawet 4 różnych samic, a następnie wychowuje je, aż będą gotowe do samodzielnego życia, zwykle 2–3 tygodnie. Gniazdo znajduje się na ziemi w gęstych krzakach lub między podniesionymi korzeniami.

Międzynarodowa Unia Ochrony Przyrody (IUCN) klasyfikuje tego kusaka jako gatunek najmniejszej troski, a jego zasięg występowania wynosi 1 600 000 km2 (620 000 mil kwadratowych).

Brother and Sister trying to race a train on their horse in Chiapas, Mexico, 2000

Photo: Don Bartletti

I made this photograph from the roof of a lurching freight train in Chiapas, Mexico, where I perched along with 60 other stowaways – all illegal immigrants from Central America. For weeks I’d been riding northbound freights through Mexico to document the journey of Honduran children hoping to reunite with mothers who’d left them behind to find work in the U.S. Appearing out of the countryside, a boy and girl gallop their horse alongside the train. The race brought cheers and laughter from those clinging to the top of the train – rare moments of joy shared with migrants bound to El Norte. This image is part of my photo essay that was awarded the 2003 Pulitzer Prize. (Don Bartletti)

Dwarf Cuttlefish |  Sepia bandensis

The cuttlefish gets its name from its cuttlebone—an internal, porous structure that helps the animal regulate its buoyancy. The cuttlefish can control that buoyancy by changing the gas-to-liquid ratio via a specialized tube called the ventral siphuncle. Cuttlefishes are unique in that no other cephalopods have cuttlebones.

The 1947 Lawsuit That Helped Desegregate California Schools for Latinx Children

In fall 1944, Soledad Vidaurri showed up at 17th Street School in Westminster, California, with two of her children and three of her nieces and nephews; as described in "Teaching Tolerance," a project of the Southern Poverty Law Center, she intended to enroll them at the local elementary school. An administrator visually examined the children before deciding that Soledad's daughters, Alice and Virginia Vidaurri, could stay, but their cousins could not. Instead, Soledad was instructed to register them in the town’s Mexican remedial school. The reason was blatantly clear to Soledad. Alice and Virginia shared a light complexion and white features, while her brother’s children — Sylvia, Gonzalo Jr, and Geronimo Méndez — had darker skin and a more indigenous appearance. This incident eventually served as a catalyst for the mobilization of thousands of Mexican-American families who came together to challenge segregation in four Orange County school districts.

At the time, Mexican-American men were serving in World War II, while their children were being sent to segregated, inadequate schools. In the early 20th century, a boom in California’s citrus industry led to a demand for agricultural labor and a wave of Mexican migration to the state. By the late 1940s, some estates say that Mexican and Mexican-American labor comprised more than 80% of the agricultural labor force in Southern California. White American landowners saw Mexican children as little more than prospective sources of cheap labor for the farms that would provide the wealth to fund their own children’s futures.

Working-class Latinx immigrants in this country, however, have consistently viewed education as the single most important tool for achieving upward social mobility. Because of this, Latinx parents have mobilized to fight for their children’s futures on countless occasions throughout history. One of those fights led to victory in a California lawsuit that set the stage for Brown v. Board of Education.

Gonzalo and Felícitas Méndez, Sylvia, Gonzalo Jr, and Geronimo’s parents, had migrated to the United States as children. Both worked as migrant farmers, moving between Texas, Arizona, and California as the seasons changed. Eventually, they were able to lease their own asparagus ranch in Southern California, making them one of the very few Chicanx tenant farmers in the state. But neither their status in the community nor their citizenship status — both were U.S. citizens — prevented their children from being refused an education by an institution that had no legitimate reason to deny them. (Seventy years later, Sylvia recalled that her only motivation for wanting to go to an all-white school was getting to play in a beautiful playground.)

Here we go! Our first extant genus of Tinamou! Crypturellus, which is mostly a forest-dwelling type of tinamou (though some species live in the steppe and grasslands). Today, they live throughout Uruguay to Mexico. This genus is extremely specious, with 21 extant species and 1 extinct species. 

By Jack Wood on @thewoodparable 

The one extinct species, C. reai, is from the Santa Cruz Formation of Argentina, living about 17.5 to 16.3 million years ago, in the Burdigalian age of the Miocene of the Neogene. It is only known from a humerus, but it indicates this genus evolved quite a while ago and was present in a higher latitude than today. This indicates that tropical climates were present in Patagonia during the Miocene, since that is the primary habitat preference of tinamou in this genus. It is also one of the earliest tinamou fossils known, which indicates that tinamou appeared quite early on looking essentially the same as today, and their ghost lineage from other palaeognaths remains a mystery. It was most similar to the modern Pale-browed tinamou in shape, except for having differently arranged muscles. 

Pale-Browed Tinamou by Tony Castro, CC BY-SA 4.0

Modern species of Crypturellus are very loud birds, with males and females having different calls, and in some cases - like with the Slaty-Breasted Tinamou - the calls are so unique per bird that individuals can be recognized based on the calls. Other tinamous can be grouped together based on the similarity of their calls - the Undulated, Red-Legged, and Yellow-Legged Tinamou all make similar calls, while the Brown Tinamou, Small-Billed Tinamou, and Tataupa Tinamou all make similar calls. They like to eat fruit in their forested environment, but also will feed upon insects, which they often leap as high as 1 meter to grab. This genus mates by the male lowering his breast to the ground and then raising his neck vertically, making him look larger to impress females. The females will lay clutches of 2 eggs, with multiple females contributing to a nest until it reaches sizes of up to 16 eggs. Males that mated with all these females will then incubate and care for the young for 16 days. The chicks are very precocial and run around often like the chicks of rails, and gain maturity at 20 days. 

Bartlett’s Tinamou, from the British Museum, in the Public Domain

As stated, there are many species of tinamou, so time to go through them in alphabetical order (by species)! The Black-Capped Tinamou is from tropical lowlands in Peru and Bolivia, and has even extended to Brazil. It is black, brown, and grey, with its legs red. It behaves much like the other members of its genus, living in low lying bushes and feeding off of fruits, flowers, leaves, seeds, roots, and insects. Sadly, it is near-threatened. Bartlett’s Tinamou, above, is not endangered, and is found in subtropical and tropical forests in Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, and Ecuador, and its mostly brown with some black spots. It’s also about 27 centimeters long. 

Berlepsch’s Tinamou by John Gerrard Keulemans, in the Public Domain 

Berlepsch’s Tinamou is from Columbia and Ecuador, and though it has a very limited range in tropical habitats, it doesn’t appear to be threatened ecologically. It’s about 29.6 to 32 centimeters in length, with the females slightly heavier than the males. They’re usually a very dark brown, and though they can fly they rarely do, picking off fruit from low hanging branches. 

Slaty-Breasted Tinamou by Exotic Ornithology, in the Public Domain

The Slaty-Breasted Tinamou is from Mexico and Central America, in lowland evergreen forests with thick undergrowth for it to hide in. It’s about 27 centimeters in length and very shy and difficult to spot, though it has a three note low call that’ll make for up to five hours at a time. The Rusty Tinamou, conversely, is mainly in tropical and swamp forests in South America, and though it isn’t threatened its habitat means it’s very difficult to spot this bird. The Barred Tinamou also lives in Colombia and Venezuela in tropical forests, and is smaller than other tinamous, only about 25 centimeters long, and also has yellowish feathers. 

Cinereous Tinamou by Manuel Anastácio, CC BY-SA 2.5

The Cinereous Tinamou is from swamp and lowland forests in Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela, Suriname, Guyana, French Guiana, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia, mainly in the Amazon rainforest. They will sometimes venture out into the savanna and feed in coffee and cocoa plantations. They greatly supplement their fruity diet with insects such as ants and mole-crickets, and they eat a lot of seeds and berries in the winter. They don’t really make nests but just kind of lay their eggs in a giant pile of leaves on the floor. They also have a very loud whistle that they make at dawn and dusk. 

Thicket Tinamou by Exotic Ornithology, in the Public Domain 

The Thicket Tinamou is a reddish tinamou from Mexico, which isn’t endangered and very common. At 27 to 29 centimeters long, it’s fairly average in size. It makes a whoo-oo call and the tinamou are often found in pairs and families in various kinds of tropical and subtropical forests in the lowlands. It also lives in Costa Rica and lives very close to the United States. It’ll nest in raised roosts and eats a variety of fruits, seeds, and invertebrates. 

Grey-Legged Tinamou by José Alvarez Alonso, CC BY 2.0 

The Grey-Legged Tinamou is near threatened and from Colombia, Venezuela, and Brazil, though it may extend as far as Peru. It’s about 30 centimeters long, making it fairly large for this genus. They have a slightly varied diet and lives in drier lowland forests and dry scrubland, which it blends in with with its brown plumage. 

Red-Legged Tinamou by the British Museum, in the Public Domain 

The Red-Legged Tinamou looks a lot like quail even though it’s not, it’s a tinamou. It can be anywhere between 27 and 32 centimeters in length, making it both small and big for this genus. It has a whistling call and it has pinkish eggs which I just find neat. They live in Guyana, Suriname, Colombia, Venezuela, and Brazil, and it might extend into French Guiana. It preferably lives in dry forests, though it does venture into wet forests, shrubland, and grassland. The Choco Tinamou (no image) is a very rare and vulnerable tinamou, quite small (about 25 to 26 centimeters in length), and it’s very dark as well. It has a sad sounding three note whistle. Being from tropical and subtropical moist forests, its habitats are being destructed by human activity and as such it is vulnerable to extinction. There are, however, efforts to conserve its habitat ongoing. 

Yellow-Legged Tinamou by Marcos Massarioli, CCY BY 2.0 

The Yellow-Legged Tinamou is near threatened and found in shrublands and woods in Brazil. It has grey-brown plumage and is about 28 to 31 centimeters long. It eats a lot of leaves, roots, and invertebrates in addition to fruit. Unfortunately, habitat destruction is to blame for its population loss. 

Brown Tinamou, by the British Museum, in the Public Domain 

The Brown Tinamou lives in Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Brazil, Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay, and Uruguay, giving it one of the southernmost ranges of any living member of the genus. It lives in lowland and mountain forests, preferring high elevations. It is also very shy, making it hard to spot. It lives alone or in pairs, and is about 25 to 30 centimeters long on average. 

Small-Billed Tinamou by Dario Sanches, CC BY-SA 2.0 

The Small-Billed Tinamou is known from Brazil, Peru, Bolivia, Paraguay, and Argentina, living in dry savanna and shrubland. It has a tiny, red bill and is about 22 centimeters in length, making it small in general - allowing it to hide easier in bushes and against the dry ground. The Tepui Tinamou is also a open-habitat-dwelling bird, known from only Venezeulan shrubland and mountain forests. Thus they live in higher altitudes. They’re about 27 centimters in length and eat lots of roots, leaves, seeds, flowers, and invertebrates in addition to fruit.

Little Tinamou, by Gary L. Clark, CC BY-SA 4.0 

The Little Tinamou is about 22 centimeters long and very shy, making it quite adorable in my opinion. It’s rarely seen and lives in dark, dense forests across Central and South America. It’s also solitary, making spotting one even harder, and it’s very brown with a black head. It lives in lowland tropical forests and some shrubland, and they also will live in farmland successfully. 

Brazilian Tinamou by Marcos Massarioli, CC BY 2.0 

The Brazilian Tinamou lives in lowland forests that are primarily tropical and moist, and it lives in Bolivia, Brazil and Peru. They’re about 28 centimeters in length and are very common and not threatened ecologically. 

Tataupa Tinamou, by Marcos Massarioli, CC BY-SA 3.0 

The Tataupa Tinamou is about 25 centimeters in length and mainly dark greyish brown, with a bright red bill and reddish legs. They prefer dry forests and live in Brazil, Bolivia, Argentina, Paraguay, Peru, and even Ecuador. 

Pale-Browed Tinamou by the Zoological Society of London, in the Public Domain 

The Pale-Browed Tinamou is a near-threatened species from Peruvian and Ecuadorian arid forests. About 28 centimters long, it has striping along its feathers and pinkish to yellowish legs. Due to deforestation, its population is decreasing. 

Undulated Tinamou by Marcos Massarioli, CC BY-SA 3.0 

The Undulated Tinamou lives in wooded habitats of the Amazon Basin, and they’re also very shy, though they have a distinctive call that sounds like com-pra-pan, the Spanish phrase for “buy bread”. It’s about 28 to 30 centimeters in length and it is in general brownish grey and with black bars on its body and neck. It prefers drier habitats when possible. 

Variegated Tinamou, by Luciana Costa, CC BY-SA 3.0 

Our last species, the Veriegated Tinamou is from wet lowland forests with dense undergrowth across Colombia, Venezuela, French Guiana, Suriname, Guyana, Brazil, Peru, Ecuador, and Bolivia. It’s about 29.5 to 33 centimeters in length, making it fairly large, and it has striped feathers along its back. It’s throat is also white as are its butt feathers. They make five uniform notes for their call, sometimes trilling before descending in pitch. Luckily, it isn’t vulnerable for extinction.

CHIAPAS RACERS

J'ai pris cette photo du toit d'un train de marchandises au Chiapas, au Mexique, où j'étais perché avec 60 autres migrants - tous des clandestins d'Amérique centrale. Pendant des semaines, j’avais pris des trains de marchandises en direction du nord du Mexique pour documenter le parcours des enfants honduriens voulant rejoindre leur mère partie chercher du travail aux États-Unis.

Soudainement, ce garçon et cette fillette apparurent, galopant sur leur cheval le long de la voie — provoquant les rires et acclamations des jeunes qui s'accrochaient au toit du train — un rare moment de joie partagé en direction d’El Norte.

Cette image fait partie du reportage qui a valu le Prix Pulitzer pour la photo à Don Bartletti en 2003.

Biólogos preparam livro com fotos de 169 espécies de aves do Juruá após dois anos de pesquisa

Livro deve servir de fonte de pesquisas para estudantes da região. Obra vai ser lançada em 2021. Pesquisas ocorreram no Campus da Universidade Federal do Acre em Cruzeiro do Sul. Sete cores da Amazônia é uma das aves que vai estar no livro Marllus Rafael/Arquivo pessoal Em revisão de fotografias e fazendo os últimos ajustes das espécies, os biólogos Marllus Rafael de Almeida e Igor Oliveira preparam o lançamento de um livro listando pelo menos 169 espécies de aves que podem ser vistas na área do Campus Floresta da Universidade Federal do Acre (Ufac), em Cruzeiro do Sul, no interior do Acre. O projeto já tem dois anos de pesquisas e é feito por meio da observação de aves que são típicas da região e também aquelas migratórias, que apenas passam pelo local. O objetivo é auxiliar, principalmente estudantes em pesquisas, mas também aumentar o conhecimento sobre o fauna existente no Acre. O lançamento do livro deve ocorrer em 2021, segundo o biólogo e estudante de mestrado de ciências ambientais da Ufac, Marllus Rafael de Almeida. “Faço uma observação de aves por lazer. Ia fazer uma lista das aves do campus e transformar em PDF com algumas fotos, principalmente para os alunos daqui, porque via que eles têm dificuldades nas disciplinas de zoologia, na parte de identificação de aves, até mesmo aves mais simples”, contou sobre o início do projeto. Ao conversar com Oliveira e apresentar a ideia, devido ao acervo de fotos que já tinha, surgiu a ideia de fazer o livro e os dois começaram a parceria. “Topei, a gente começou em junho de 2018. Foram dois anos de inventário, que acabou em junho de 2020, com a coleta de todas as informações para pegar as aves migratórias que passam por aqui, as diurnas e noturnas. Depois disso, a gente começou a trabalhar nas imagens, pranchas e outras informações que vamos apresentar no livro”, contou. No livro devem constar, além das fotos dos pássaros, dados como o nome científico, popular, local de ocorrência no campus, tamanho, se tem alguma particularidade, como no caso de algumas espécies migratórias, e outras endêmicas que só ocorrem na região Amazônica, por exemplo. Barbudo de coleira e beija-flor de peito azul são duas espécies endêmicas da região Amazônica Marllus Rafael/arquivo pessoal Algumas espécies fotografadas Entre as aves que foram fotografadas e que vão constar no livro estão algumas da região oeste do Acre como: Assanhadinho; Uirapuru seladoe choquinha de garganta carijó. Outras aves são endêmicas, que só ocorrem em determinada região: Beija-flor de peito azul (Amazilia lactea bartletti); Barbudo de coleira. Estes ocorrem no Acre, Peru, Amazonas e Rondônia. Outras aves como: Coruja orelhuda; gavião carijó; Sete cores da Amazônia; Saí andorinha também vão estar presentes no livro. “É uma tentativa de aumentar o conhecimento da rica fauna que temos no Acre, em especial Cruzeiro do Sul, um dos locais de maior biodiversidade do Brasil. Também queremos estimular as pessoas, estudantes e público em geral na prática do birdwatching, uma prática de ecoturismo em potencial e bem sucedida, que poderia ser incrementada aqui na região. Além de rápido, o crescimento e retorno financeiro para cidade estimula a conscientização ambiental e proteção de áreas naturais”, conclui Almeida sobre o projeto.
