allan octavian hume allan octavian hume cb ( 6 june 1829 – 31 july 1912 ) was a civil servant , political reformer and amateur ornithologist and horticulturalist in british india . known to most of us as one of the founders of the indian national congress , a political party that was later to lead the indian independence movement , few know that he was an extremely notable ornithologist who has been called “the father of indian ornithology” and , by those who found him dogmatic as “the pope of indian ornithology . ”
allan octavian hume ( image : frontispiece of “the nests and eggs of indian birds ( vol ii ) . public domain )
hume had a vast network of correspondents all over india who sent him many skins and much information . read about his network here on shyamal ‘s blog :
“ . . of eight great rooms , six of them full , from floor to ceiling , of cases of birds , while at the back of the house two large verandahs were piled high with cases full of large birds , such as pelicans , cranes , vultures , & c . an inspection of a great cabinet containing a further series of about 5000 eggs completed our survey . “
hume’s interest in life science was lost in 1885 when all his manuscripts were sold by an unscrupulous servant as waste paper and after a landslip caused by heavy rains in simla damaged his personal museum and specimens .

this species is endemic to australia , where it is widely distributed mainly along the forested and coastal heath of the southern and eastern portions of the country . it is also present on a number of offshore islands ( including kangaroo island ) ( lunney 2008 ) .
recorded from subalpine woodland , coastal scrub , coastal heath , eucalypt forest , and tropical moist forest . it is a largely terrestrial and ground - dwelling species that occurs in areas with a dense undergrowth of shrubs and ferns ( lunney 2008 ) . females give birth to about five young and several litters may be produced in a good season ( lunney 2008 ) .
maximum longevity : 5 . 3 years ( captivity ) observations : weaned animals live about one year , but there is a field record of 3 . 8 years and a laboratory record of 5 . 3 years ( taylor and calaby 1988 ) .
the following is a representative barcode sequence , the centroid of all available sequences for this species . there are 7 barcode sequences available from bold and genbank .

listed as least concern in view of its wide distribution , large population , occurrence in a number of protected areas , lack of major threats , and because it is unlikely to be declining .
it is generally common in most parts of its range , and locally abundant . it is very common , for instance , in coastal heaths ( a . burbidge pers . comm . ) .
this species is very sensitive to habitat disturbance and land clearing , and may be threatened in parts of its range by inappropriate fire regimes and bushfire , as well as logging activities .
the bushrat doesn ' t show much overlap in diet with other local rodent species . in the summer it consumes primarily fruit , arthropods , and seeds , but in the winter its main source of food is from a particular cyperaceous species . when found in the forest it consumes primarily fungi and various fibrous plant material .
) begins breeding around november and has litter sizes ranging usually between 4 - 5 . the majority of individuals do not live to a second breeding cyle due to their short life span .

this species has been reported from lowland and montane rain forest , and also in secondary forest associated with swampy soils .
amori , g . ( small nonvolant mammal red list authority ) & cox , n . ( global mammal assessment team )
listed as least concern because , although it is seldom recorded , it has a relatively wide distribution , is tolerant of some habitat degradation , has a presumed overall large population , and because it is unlikely to be declining fast enough to qualify for listing in a more threatened category .
the threats to this species are not well known , but its association with forest habitats suggest that it may be threatened by deforestation .
it is not known if the species is present in any protected areas . additional studies are needed into the distribution , abundance , general ecology and threats to this little - known species .

murinae , the old world rats and mice , is the largest subfamily of muroid rodents . there are an astonishingly diverse 561 species in this subfamily , which are divided among 126 genera in 29 divisions .
musser , g . , m . carleton . 2005 . superfamily muroidea . d wilson , d reeder , eds . mammal species of the world . baltimore and london : the johns hopkins university press .
rats and mice are native to the ethiopian , palearctic , and oriental regions , including africa , the arabian peninsula , europe , the middle east , india , china , taiwan , korea , japan , the indo - malayan region , the philippines , new guinea , australia , and tasmania . in addition , murines have been introduced around the world by humans , and now have a virtually cosmopolitan distribution .

the dental formula is 1 / 1 , 0 / 0 , 0 / 0 , 3 / 3 = 16 in most murine genera . the incisors can be opisthodont , orthodont , or proodont . most have ungrooved incisors . the molars are rooted and are not evergrowing . the molars range from brachydont to hypsodont , and the third molars are always smaller than the first and second molars . most murines have three lingual cusps on the upper molars , giving a triserial cusp arrangement ; there is always at least an anterolingual cusp on the second upper molars . in addition , the lower molars usually have labial cusplets . murines vary widely in skull characteristics , and the diversity is so great that no synapomorphies of the skull can be identified , except of the lack of a sphenofrontal foramen or squamosoalisphenoid groove . a skeletal characteristic that all murine genera share is the presence of a prominent neural spine on the second thoracic vertebra . diploid chromosome numbers for murines range from 25 to 68 .
hubbard , c . 1972 . observations on the life histories and behavior of some small rodents from tanzania . zoologica africana , 7 ( 2 ) : 419 - 449 .
murines occupy a wide variety of boreal , temperate , subtropical , and tropical habitats , including : coniferous and deciduous forests , subtropical broadleaf forests , tropical rainforests , monsoon forests , savannahs , steppes , grasslands , scrub forests , alpine meadows , deserts , rocky outcrops , river valleys , marshes , swamps , lakes , rivers , streams , agricultural fields , cities , and towns . murines span a greater elevational range than any other muroid subfamily ; they have been found in high mountains at more than 4 , 000 meters , and in mine shafts more than 500 meters below the earth ' s surface .

, carrion , and even household items such as glue , paste , and soap . individual murine species range from dietary generalists that will eat just about anything to specialist herbivores and specialist carnivores . many murine species cache their food in burrows or crevices for later use .
murines are essential components of many ecosystems . they have roles as seed dispersers , pollinators ( johnson et al . 2001 ) , predators , and / or prey . not all ecosystem roles are positive , however . some murine species have been introduced to areas where they were previously absent , and they have devastated ecosystems by outcompeting or feeding on native wildlife . a few murine species have developed a commensal relationship with humans , and , especially in urban areas , rely on human - produced waste to survive . in turn , various parasites use murines as hosts , including

murines usually do not live more than a few months in the wild , and those that do rarely live to be three years old . in captivity , however , some murines may live nearly a decade .
most murines have a polygynandrous mating system , with each male and female only associating for the brief time required for copulation and each individual having multiple mates . a few species are monogamous , at least within one breeding season , and males stay with their mates and help to raise their young .
female murines , like all mammals , provide their young with milk before the young are able to eat solid food . many murines build nests - - the size , shape and location of which varies among species - - in which they raise their young . yet females of other species simply allow their babies to clamp on to their teats and then carry their young around with them . the time to weaning is relatively short , as young murines grow and develop quickly . both altricial and precocial murine species are known . male parental care is rare , but not unheard of , in this group . for example , male four - striped grass mice (

justification : l . microdon has suffered a recorded decline in fishery catches in the southern part of the lake of more than 70 % in the last 10 years . this species is not often recorded outside the southern part of the lake so it is assessed as endangered , on the assumption that the decline has affected the main part of the population . the threat is ongoing as the trawl fishery continues .

it has a larger number of lower gillrakers ( 24 - 29 ) than most similar species . it can be quickly distinguished from most superficially similar species by the number of bars below the dorsal fin ( 7 , compared to 8 - 9 ) and by the absence of a midlateral spot . it generally has a larger mental ( chin ) process than the similar , but smaller , lethrinops ' oliveri ' . individuals of the species reach a maximum size of around 20 cm ( 8 inches ) total length and feed on benthic diatoms , principally the filamentous aulacoseira , with occasional crustacean and chironomid fragments .

species from the deep - water mud - bottom habitats of lake malawi . ( the upper fish is male ; the lower , female . ) it has suffered badly from heavy trawl fishing in the area where it was most abundant . in the se arm of the lake , it used to make up 44 % of the cichlid catch in experimental trawls between 60 and 80 m ( 200 - 260 ft ) depth , and it comprised 28 % of the catch of the commercial demersal trawls . it has not been observed at all in recent surveys , and it may be extinct in the area . although only a single specimen had previously been recorded by expert taxonomists from outside the se arm , fisheries recorders have recently reported that this species is still abundant near karonga , where the habitat is similar to the southern arms . this remains to be confirmed .

another very rare oolithic ammonite brought to our customers from fossils direct . many hours of preparation work has gone into this magnificent specimen . the ammonite itself is heavily ribbed and its characteristic nodes makes this one of the most desirable oolithic ammonites . this discovery was made during a temporary exposure digging a waterpipe some fifteen years ago . the ammonite lies in an aesthetic piece of matrix which also has a cut base for ease of display . approximately 170 million years old .

. . . in the central part a maximun value of 45 mgal can be correlated with the early miocene intrusions . the value of - 30 mgal in the southern part can correlate with the siquisique ophiolitic complex ( pillowlavas and metagrabros ; bartok et al . , 1985 ) . miocene intrusions alignment ( figure 2 ) . . . .
a study of the marine fauna of the liassic strata of south america enables a statement on the question since when in jurassic time a direct faunal exchange with europe via central america was possible . during hettangian and sinemurian time , cosmopolitan genera and species of ammonites were predominant . at that time endemic genera and species of gastropods and pelecypods are frequent . . . .

theretra latreillii ( pale brown hawk moth ) is a moth of the family sphingidae .

it is found in most of asia , including borneo , china , hong kong , the philippines , taiwan and also in the tropical regions of australia .

theretra latreillii

theretra latreillii ( macleay , [ 1826 ] ) = sphinx latreillii macleay , [ 1826 ] .
resembling a small theretra rhesus but forewings conspicuously less elongate and hindwings more rounded apically . very similar to theretra latreillii latreillii but forebasitarsus with outer row of spines single and dorsal lines of abdomen more or less plainly marked . forewing upperside similar to theretra latreillii latreillii but postmedian and submarginal oblique lines clearly visible .

kirby believed that freyer , 1845 , neu beiträge schmett . 5 : 34 ( cited as 1843 ) , had described a homonymous sphinx cretica , for which kirby proposed theretra freyeri as the new substitute name . however , freyer clearly referred back to a description by treitschke , 1834 , in ochsenheimer , die schmett . europa 10 ( 1 ) : 138 , which itself was a german translation of the original description of sphinx cretica by boisduval 1827 , mém . soc . linn . paris 6 : 118 , and which was referenced as such by treitschke on p . 135 . thus there was no homonym in need of replacement and theretra freyeri is an unnecessary replacement name .

this page contains information about pale brown hawk moths that we found in the brisbane area , queensland , australia .
the pale brown hawk moth caterpillars have two colour form , brown and green . the brown form has the dark brown and white waves patterns on the body .
the green form caterpillar is the same body shape , green in colour and less patterns on the body .
all of them have the curved horn on its tail and the eyespots on the first abdominal segment .
with their eyes pattern on the first segment , they look like a small snake with large eyes . and their ' eyes ' blink ! ! when the caterpillar is feeding , its head extended , the eyes pattern is half folded and it look like the closed eyes . when disturbed , the caterpillar hide its head back into its body and this make the eyes pattern fully open . just look like a snake being waken up .
we found that when the caterpillar are young , which they are too small to mimic a snake , they have another standard posture when disturbed . we can not tell what it look like . most likely is something that their predators want to avoid , such as a paw .
the caterpillars start to turn into a pupa when they grow up to 90 - 100mm . they find a place on soil where covered with plants litter . they use their silk to hold those plants litter to form a small room and turn into a pupa inside . they take two days to turn from caterpillar into pupa .
about two weeks later , a moth comes out from the pupa . when it first comes out , their wings are very small . the moth has to find a vertical position to rest on quickly for their wings are expending . this take half a day for their wings to extend , dry and harden . we observed three pupa and all of them emerged at about 10 - 11 : 00pm .
from the close up picture , we can see the coils of the moths proboscis and imagine how long it is . this is the long tongue which the moth used to sip nectar from flowers while it is hovering .
the moth is pale brown in colour , with two dark brown lines of dots on each forewings . the thorax and the abdomen are the same pale brown colour . on its head there are the big brown eyes .
we found that their caterpillar also like to eat grape leaf . we have a small grape plant in our backyard . in later summer 2003 , we found five to six pale brown hawk moth caterpillars on the plant . two days later , all the grape leaves were gone .
