the conception bank silver boa ( chilabothrus argentum ) is a species of boa described in may 2016 .

it is only known from the conception island bank in the bahamas .

it is the first known discovery of a west indian boa species in 73 years .

it is named for its unique silver color .

dr . reynolds and his colleagues named this new species chilabothrus argentums and gave it the common name conception bank silver boa .
fortunately for the silver boa , all islands on the conception island bank are national parkland , and visitors to the area are relatively rare .

the scientists named the conception bank silver boa ( chilabothrus argentum ) , based on both its color and the fact it was first found on an aptly named silver palm tree . a study on the species appeared in the journal breviora .
the silver boa , chilabothrus argentum , is so named because of its distinctive metallic colour and the fact that the first specimen found was climbing a silver palm tree .
the conception bank silver boa averages about 37 to 43 inches ( 0 . 95 – 1 . 1 m ) in length from the tip of its snout to the urogenital vent . the tail is about 8 inches ( 20 cm ) long .
the snake is threatened by natural disasters , the illegal pet trade and feral cats , of which many can be found on conception island bank . the good news for this species is all islands on the conception island bank are national parkland , and visitors to the islands is rare .
“the beautiful bahamian silver boa , already possibly critically endangered , reminds us that important discoveries are still waiting to be made . ”
its latin name is chilabothrus argentum , argentum being latin for ' silver . ' graham reynolds says it ' s a beautiful new species of silver boa and he told voa that
finding a new boa is extremely rare , especially in a well - studied region like the caribbean .

a team of researchers led by dr . graham reynolds from the university of north carolina asheville has discovered a new species of non - venomous boid snake on the conception island bank , bahamas .
the three other bahamian boa species look different from the newfound species , with dark splotches and stripes . the silver boa is not only paler , it also—unlike the others—lives in trees , where it feeds mostly on birds .
thus , the entire silver boa population , which the team estimates to be fewer than a thousand animals , is found only in one small patch of earth .
captured silver boas were electronically tagged by the scientists before being freed back into their forest home .
this makes the species vulnerable to extinction , and reynolds and his colleagues believe the silver boa should be designated as critically endangered by the international union for conservation of nature .
“this new species occurs on a group of islands that have never been connected to any of the other islands in the bahamas , ” says reynolds . “as far as we know , they only occur on conception island bank and nowhere else . ”

this snake is considered critically endangered and is one of the most endangered boa species globally .
a new species of boa constrictor has been discovered on a remote island in the bahamas .

another silver boa had come down from the forest and crawled right over him as he slept . they ' d located their sixth specimen , and dna analyses back at the lab confirmed the snake was a new species .
“graham reynolds and his co - authors have not only discovered and described a new species of snake , but even more remarkable , a new species of boa . that’s rare , exciting , and newsworthy , ” said robert henderson , a boa expert with the milwaukee museum of natural history . “the beautiful bahamian silver boa , already possibly critically endangered , reminds us that important discoveries are still waiting to be made . ”
“the beautiful silver boa , already possibly critically endangered , reminds us that important discoveries are still waiting to be made , and it provides the people of the bahamas another reason to be proud of the natural wonders of their island nation . ”
the proof came when genetic tests came back from a harvard lab , confirming that the silver boa was in fact a different species that - just like darwin ' s finches on the galápagos islands - had been evolving in isolation for several million years .
this new boa is just one of the hundreds , perhaps thousands of new species that are discovered every year .
ray agrees that despite living in a refuge , the boa is still in danger—in particular from feral cats and dogs .
according to the scientists , the description of this new snake brings the total number of west indian boa species to 12 .

“this study represents the first new in situ discovery of a west indian boa species in 73 years , ” the scientists said .
expedition member alberto puente - rolón , an expert on caribbean boas , agreed that the animal appeared unlike any species of known boa .
expedition member alberto puente - rolón , an expert on caribbean boas , agreed that the animal appeared unlike any species of known boa .
it has unique color among bahamian boa species . the upper ( or dorsal ) surface of the body is silver gray to very light tan , occasionally with a very faint gray dorsal stripe extending the length of the spine with jagged edges and occasional interruption . the lower ( ventral ) surface is pure cream white with no markings or other coloration .
“as dr reynolds slept , a boa crawled down from the forest , across the beach , and directly onto his head , ” the report revealed .
so the team went searching for more boas , finding four more snakes before settling down to sleep on the beach at conception island . but it turns out the boas weren ' t ready to call it a night .
the reptile faces threats such as natural disasters ( which could wipe out the entire population ) ; poaching for the pet trade ; and feral cats , which exist on conception island and are known to prey on boas elsewhere in the bahamas .
like other constricting snakes , the boa wraps its body around prey and causes death by suffocation . the staple diet of boas in the bahamas consists of frogs , birds and rats .

commenting on the find , boa constrictor expert robert henderson , from the milwaukee museum of natural history , said : “worldwide , new species of frogs and lizards are being discovered and described with some regularity . new species of snakes , however , are much rarer .
research describing the new snake is published in the may 2016 issue of the journal breviora .
“it has been at least 58 years since the in situ discovery of new populations of taxonomically distinct boas in the region , the last being the report in 1957 of boas on margaret cay , ragged islands , bahamas . ”

the shiny reptile likely numbers only a thousand individuals in its remote bahamas habitat , experts say .
on an uninhabited island in the southern bahamas , a scientist noticed a snake that shined like metal as it climbed a tree .
“we all came to take a look at it , and it was instantly clear that this was something different , ” says biologist r . graham reynolds , part of the scientific team exploring the remote islands .
“sometime around 3 : 30 in the morning , i woke up to something crawling across my face , ” says reynolds , now a biologist at the university of north carolina , asheville .
“this discovery is significant because of how well - studied many parts of the bahamas are , especially in terms of herpetology , ” says julie ray , director of the conservation group team snake panama .
every year , thousands of snakes gather at the narcisse snake dens in manitoba , canada .
reynolds and his colleagues are working with the bahamas national trust , which administers the national parks , on strategies to protect the species .
“all efforts should be made to restrict the number of dogs on the island and how freely they are allowed to roam , ” says ray .
“more importantly , an attempt should be made to remove the feral cats from this protected natural area because they are not native predators . ”

scientists identified 20 of the metre - long snakes during two expeditions to the caribbean islands , the second made in october last year .
one of the creatures made a dramatic appearance by slithering on to the head of the expedition leader as he slept .
the us team led by dr graham reynolds , from harvard university , confirmed the snake was a previously unknown species after conducting a genetic analysis of tissue samples .

a report from harvard university described how , during the first expedition , one of the snakes introduced itself to dr reynolds while he and his colleagues were sleeping on a beach .
“this caused him to awake with a start , and upon realising what had happened , he awoke the others . ”
the creature is said to be critically endangered according to the international union for conservation of nature’s “red list” criteria , and threatened by feral cats that roam the island .

a group of university biologists surveying a remote island in the bahamas have stumbled upon a new and possibly extremely rare new snake species .
the university of north carolina biologist also told voa the snake is likely to be highly endangered and efforts are already being made to ensure its survival in the wild .
as soon as we saw the first specimen ,
reynolds says ,
we knew it was something different - we just didn ' t know how different .
his team , which included biologists from harvard , massachusetts , and puerto rico , was instantly struck by
the coloration , body shape , head shape , and body size [ which ] were all different - looking than the hundreds of other boas of the other species we have seen .
but the snakes aren ' t alone on the island . it ' s also full of non - native feral cats , and reynolds told voa he ' s
confident
they ' re eating his new species .
right now his team is doing more research ,
trying to document the presence of cats using camera traps and identify ways to remove them from the island .
reynolds and his team are also providing data to the bahamas national trust in the hopes that they can quickly establish a conservation program .
reynolds confirmed that the snake is indeed a new species based on a genetic analysis of tissue samples from the reptile .
chilabothrus argentum lives in trees and feeds primarily on birds . reynolds believes the snake should be considered critically endangered and should appear on the international union for conservation of nature’s “red list . ”

list of species of the monarch - flycatchers ( monarchidae ) family . each species provides information on taxonomy , descriptive notes , voice , habitat , food and feeding , breeding , movements , status and conservation and bibliography .
the monarch - flycatcher family , as presently defined , is a diverse group of small , slim - bodied , generally active arboreal birds , many of which are handsomely plumaged . its members range in size from the warbler - like . . .
more recently , the grouping has been refined somewhat as the original concept of corvida has proven paraphyletic . the narrower ' core corvine ' group now comprises the crows and ravens , shrikes , birds of paradise , fantails , monarch flycatchers , drongos and mudnest builders .

the majority of the family is found in forest and woodland habitats . species that live in more open woodlands tend to live in the higher levels of the trees but , in denser forest , live in the middle and lower levels . other habitats used by monarch flycatchers include savannah and mangroves , and the terrestrial magpie - lark occurs in most australian habitats except the driest deserts .

while the majority of monarch flycatchers are resident , a few species are partially migratory and one , the satin flycatcher , is fully migratory , although the japanese paradise flycatcher is almost entirely migratory . the asian paradise flycatcher is migratory over the northern parts of its range and sedentary in the tropics , and the african paradise flycatcher makes a series of poorly understood intra - african migratory movements .
the monarch - flycatchers are generally monogamous , with the pair bonds ranging from just a single season ( as in the african paradise - flycatcher ) to life ( the elepaio ) . only three species are known to engage in cooperative breeding ; but many species are as yet unstudied . they are generally territorial , defending territories that are around 2 ha in size , but a few species may cluster their nesting sites closely together . nesting sites may also be chosen close to aggressive species , for example leaden flycatchers nests may be located near the nests of the aggressive noisy friarbird . [ 4 ] the nests are in turn often aggressively defended by monarch flycatchers . in all species the nest is an open cup on a branch , fork or twig . in some species the nests can be highly conspicuous .

the ioc world bird list is an open access resource of the international community of ornithologists . our goal is to facilitate worldwide communication in ornithology and conservation based on an up - to - date classification of world birds and a set of english names that follows explicit guidelines for spelling and construction ( gill & wright 2006 ) .
the ioc editorial team and advisors update the web - based list quarterly . the updates include changes of recommended names or classification , additions of newly described species , corrections of nomenclature , and updates of species taxonomy .
the ioc world bird list complements other primary world bird lists that differ slightly in their primary goals and taxonomic philosophy , i . e . the clements checklist of the birds of the world , the howard & moore complete checklist of the birds of the world , 4 th edition , and hbw alive / bird life international . improved alignment of these independent taxonomic works is a goal of the newly structured international ornithologists union , including a round table discussion at the 2018 meeting in vancouver , british columbia .

small to medium - sized passerines with broad - based , often deeply compressed bill , usually slender legs with strongly curved claws , some species with greatly elongated central rectrices ; plumage variable , from modest to brightly coloured , often with rufous , grey , white or black , some species glossy blue .
the broad flat bill , the stiff bristles around the nares , and a general similarity in hunting behaviour led early ornithologists to group the world’s numerous “flycatcher” radiations together . with more detailed morphological studies and , later , molecular analyses , these gross similarities . . .

monarchids of both sexes are vocal birds , although , in the case of many sexually dimorphic species , songs are given only by the male . generally , the songs are whistled and the calls are harsh or raspy , . . .
the diet of all monarchids that have been sufficiently well studied consists predominantly of insects and small spiders ( araneae ) . this is likely to be true for the family as a whole , although the food . . .
the breeding habits of about one third of the species in the family are well known or moderately well known . for the remainder , however , little or , in some cases , no information is available . the nests and / or eggs of some 30 of the family’s 97 species are still undescribed .
the majority of the monarchidae are residents or sedentary tropical species , but eight species are migratory or partly migratory . typically , migratory species , including the japanese paradise - flycatcher and the . . .
largely as a result of their small size , their forest habitats and their unremarkable calls , monarchs have a very limited relationship with humans . the paradise - flycatchers are visually the most spectacular members . . .

monarchids are small insectivorous songbirds with long tails . they inhabit forest or woodland across sub - saharan africa , south - east asia , australasia and a number of pacific islands . only a few species migrate . many species decorate their cup - shaped nests with lichen . [ 1 ]
many of the approximately 140 species making up the family were previously assigned to other groups , largely on the basis of general morphology or behaviour . the magpie - lark , for example , was assigned to the same family as the white - winged chough , since both build unusual nests from mud rather than vegetable matter . the australasian fantails were thought to be allied with the fantails of the northern hemisphere ( they have a similar diet and behaviour ) , and so on .
with the new insights generated by the dna - dna hybridisation studies of sibley and his co - workers toward the end of the 20th century , however , it became clear that these apparently unrelated birds were all descended from a common ancestor : the same crow - like ancestor that gave rise to the drongos . [ 5 ] on that basis they have been included as a subfamily of the dicruridae , along with the fantails , [ 6 ] although christidis and boles have more recently treated it at familial rank as monarchidae . [ 7 ]
the monarchs are small to medium - sized insectivorous passerines , many of which hunt by flycatching .

the satin flycatcher is fully migratory , breeding in southern australia and migrating to northern australia and new guinea .
, defending territories that are around 2 ha in size , but a few species may cluster their nesting sites closely together . nesting sites may also be chosen close to aggressive species , for example

dichomeris gleba hodges , r . w . , 1986 | butterflies and moths of north america
the forest had three areas when created : gleba balata with , gleba tufari with and gleba jacaré with .
dichomeris gleba is a moth in the gelechiidae family . it was described by hodges in 1986 . it is found in north america , where it has been recorded from illinois , arkansas , missouri , texas , colorado and new mexico .
its boundaries are : north to the cologne gral . diaz , south establishing livestock loma porá , the cologne to the east and west pikyry colonies gleba 2 and gleba 3 .
gleba is the fleshy spore - bearing inner mass of certain fungi such as the puffball or stinkhorn .
the gleba is a solid mass of spores , generated within an enclosed area within the sporocarp . the continuous maturity of the sporogenous cells leave the spores behind as a powdery mass that can be easily blown away . the gleba may be sticky or it may be enclosed in a case ( peridiole ) .
gleba cordata is a species of sea butterfly , a floating and swimming sea snail or sea slug , a pelagic marine gastropod mollusk in the family cymbuliidae .
it is a tissue usually found in an angiocarpous fruit - body , especially gasteromycetes . angiocarpous fruit - bodies usually consist of fruit enclosed within a covering that does not form a part of itself ; such as the filbert covered by its husk , or the acorn seated in its cupule . the presence of gleba can be found in earthballs and puffballs . the gleba consists of mycelium , and basidia and may also contain capillitium threads .
gleba is a village in the administrative district of gmina kadzidło , within ostrołęka county , masovian voivodeship , in east - central poland . it lies approximately south - west of kadzidło , north - west of ostrołęka , and north of warsaw .
gleba found on the fruit body of species in the family phallaceae is typically gelatinous , often fetid - smelling , and deliquescent ( becoming liquid from the absorption of water ) . it is formed on the exterior face of the cap or the upper part of the fruit body . the foul smell helps to attract insects that help disperse the spores . chemicals that contribute to the odor include methylmercaptan and hydrogen sulfide .
