Brown Pelicans are Still Beautiful in the Fall

Fall Pelican Even though I went to Cedar Key last week hoping to see the flamingos, I did also see quite a few other interesting animals and plants while out there, too. As I have said before, a day spent exploring Cedar Key and the surrounding area is never a disappointment. One of the many birds that I came across was this pretty brown pelican. Their breeding season is over now, and they are…

Nonbreeding couples also occur in Jackdaws and Ravens, as well as a significant population of single, nonreproducing birds.

Rather than being seen as "barren" or counterproductive, then, homosexuality, transgender, and nonbreeding are considered essential for the continuity of life.

Daily fish fact #726

Ocellaris clownfish!

These fish live in a hierarchy system with a single breeding pair and several nonbreeding males. These male juveniles are theorised to hang around the breeding pair for the chance of one day moving high enough on the hierarchy to gain reproductive rights themselves. The biggest and most dominant fish at the top of the hierarchy is a female, who herself is “born” when the biggest male changes sex.

Many females that do reproduce nevertheless have extended periods of nonbreeding, up to 16 years in some cases.

Another thing that bothers me about ant workers having to be a gender other than female is you never ever do this with male things. If something is gendered male and nonbreeding you just take that at face value. It implies that breeding is an essential part of the female identity, and I fucking hate it lol, especially in the face of all this anti-abortion shit

Round Two: Heracles vs Heliothraupis

Heracles inexpectatus

Artwork by @otussketching, written by @zygodactylus

Name Meaning: Unexpected Herculean Parrot 

Time: 16 to 19 million years ago (Burdigalian stage of the Miocene epoch, Neogene period) 

Location: St. Bathans Fauna, Bannockburn Formation, Aotearoa  

Heracles was a truly alarmingly large parrot, related to modern day Kea, Kaka, and Kakapo, known from the fantastic avifauna of St Bathans. Standing more than two feet tall and weighing about fifteen pounds, this animal was much larger than any expected from the St Bathans fauna, which represented the initial colonization of Aotearoa (Zealandia) after it returned above sea level. Heracles is also the largest known species of parrot, ever. It was presumably flightless, though it is uncertain if it was nocturnal like its living relative the Kakapo. Its exact ecology is still uncertain, given the material known from Heracles is limited and its living relatives have very disparate ecologies, though it is possible it was omnivorous similar to the Kea and Kaka today. The St Bathans fauna lived in a freshwater lake system, in a subtropical emergent rainforest. Separated from land bridges, the fauna was dominated by birds, with early relatives of the Kiwi, New Zealand Wrens, Adzebills, and Wedge-Tailed eagles found in the fauna, as well as somewhat modern looking Moas. Smaller flamingos, large fruit pigeons, and a huge variety of geese and other waterfowl are known. In addition, frogs, tuataras, other lizards, crocodilians, turtles, and many different types of fish are known from this fascinating ecosystem. 

Heliothraupis oneilli

Name Meaning: O’Neill’s Tanager of the Sun God Inti 

Time: Unknown to the present, Holocene, Quaternary 

Location: Western Bolivia and Southern Peru, South America 

Rarely do we get to talk about a newly discovered living species of bird, but this is one of those excellent times! This bird, a bright yellow tanager with a distinctive black stripe across its eye, was found in the Neotropics - specifically in the Yungas region. Given that Latin America has the largest number of bird species in the world, it makes a certain amount of sense that we may have missed some! First spotted in the nineties, it was properly identified and described over the course of the 2010s. The distinctive appearance of this tanager lead to it being nicknamed the “Kill Bill Tanager”, in reference to its similarity to Uma Thurman’s yellow jumpsuit outfit. Distinct in appearance and population from other tanagers, it was deemed not only a separate species, but an entirely separate genus. It is migratory, breeding in the northern Machariapo Valley and going down to the eastern Andes for the nonbreeding season. It lives in deciduous forests, and breeds in bamboo grasses. It is a loud and vocal bird, making distinctive songs and choruses that happen long after the dawn chorus of most other birds. As it lives in a fairly isolated region of these countries, its habitat is not particularly threatened at this time.
