apical flycatcher

apical flycatcher is a songbird endemic to colombia . the species lives in gallery forest in vallies in western colombia below 1700 meters in elevation . it is an easy myiarchus flycatcher to identify , as it is the only member of that genus with conspicuous white tips to the tail feathers . otherwise it is a normal - appearing member of the genus with large size , slim shape , stout bill , and crest , and typical behavior , conspicuously hawking insects around woods and borders . apical flycatcher gives several call types , a dry whit call , stutters , and whistles .

justification : although this species may have a restricted range , it is not believed to approach the thresholds for vulnerable under the range size criterion ( extent of occurrence < 20 , 000 km2 combined with a declining or fluctuating range size , habitat extent / quality , or population size and a small number of locations or severe fragmentation ) . the population trend appears to be increasing , and hence the species does not approach the thresholds for vulnerable under the population trend criterion ( > 30 % decline over ten years or three generations ) . the population size has not been quantified , but it is not believed to approach the thresholds for vulnerable under the population size criterion ( < 10 , 000 mature individuals with a continuing decline estimated to be > 10 % in ten years or three generations , or with a specified population structure ) . for these reasons the species is evaluated as least concern .
the global population size has not been quantified , but this species is described as ' fairly common ' ( stotz et al . ( 1996 ) . trend justification : this species thrives in secondary and open habitats and is suspected to be expanding its range as deforestation continues ( del hoyo et al . 2004 ) .

the king quail ( excalfactoria chinensis ) , also known as the blue-breasted quail , asian blue quail , chinese painted quail , or chung-chi , is a species of old world quail in the family phasianidae .

this species is the smallest " true quail " , ranging in the wild from southeastern asia to oceania with 10 different subspecies .

a failed attempt was made to introduce this species to new zealand by the otago acclimatisation society in the late 1890s .

it is quite common in aviculture worldwide , where it is sometimes misleadingly known as the " button quail " , which is the name of an only very distantly related family of birds , the buttonquails .

small , quiet and unobtrusive the king quail is commonly found in pairs or small parties of around 5 or six , although groups as large as 40 have been recorded . unlike th stubble quail , the king quail does not appear to follow seasonal food sources . king quail live exclusively on the ground and will hide in dense undergrowth rather than fly up when disturbed . like so many other quail , it will burst suddenly into flight when almost trodden on . more
back to the button quail bulletin board . back to the button quail home page .
the red - backed button - quail , turnix maculosus , and the brown quail live in similar habitats to the king quail and are dark on top and so the three could be confused . however , in flight , the king quail has narrower more pointed wings and is uniformly dark on its upperparts , with no pale panel on its underwing . adult brown quail are much larger than king quail . adult female and juvenile king quail on the ground could be confused with stubble quail , coturnix pectoralis , which are larger and are paler grey - brown on their upperparts with bolder creamy streaking . the stubble quail also has a paler head and is a paler creamy - buff underneath , with heavy dark streaking on its breast and sides .
australia has 10 native species of quail . the king quail , brown quail and the stubble quail are true quail , comprise 3 species and belong to the genus coturnix . the other 7 species of quail are referred to as button quail and belong to the genus turnix . it is easy to distinguish between the two genus of australian quail . the coturnix quail have four toes and three of the toes point forward and the other toe points backwards . the turnix quail have three toes on each foot and each toe points forward .
jumbo coturnix : quail are just larger selectively bred coturnix quail and are commonly used for meat . they are not a different quail just
compatible with most finches , small parrots , doves and pigeons . king quail can often be successfully bred in a colony situation . king quail can be successful in a relatively small cage / aviary of about 1 square metre per pair . hatchling baby king quail are capable of getting through 13 mm ( half inch ) aviary wire . mouse proof wire ( 7mm ) may be necessary to prevent escapes .

on another note , in australia the name button quail refers to a number of species of our native quail . all are protected in the wild as are king quail , another native species . it is facinating to me that the chinese painted quail or king quail or button quail or whatever you want to call these wonderful birds , is native to australia as well as china and other parts of asia . how this happened is a mystery to me .

the overall goal of the experiments reported here was to develop king quail as subjects for the study of avian pairing behavior , allowing a comparison with japanese quail . the specific goals were : ( 1 ) to develop suitable testing paradigms for eliciting and measuring the behavior ; ( 2 ) to determine whether king quail form selective male - female social relationships ; and ( 3 ) to determine whether paired birds remember the former partner after an extended separation . the focus was on the behavior of males because most of the extensive body of work on neuroendocrine mechanisms of behavior of japanese quail concerns males .
breeding quail can be hard at times . you will have to have a lot of space to house the quail , you will have to spend a lot of money on feed , water and housing for the quail , and you will have to give up most of your time on the quail .
king quail were introduced a number of times in victoria and may have been released in south australia . however there appear to be none living now in south australia . they were first discovered in the kimberleys area in 1974 .

hi frank , i keep chinese painted quail ( we call them king quail in australia ) in large aquariums and cages . yesterday i noticed 2 out of 5 of my four week old quails ( raised by their parents ) are a bit lame . they still look healthy and have no problems eating , but they appear to have no strength and they move slow if i go to pick them up . i think it is similar to a hen quail i once bought but died a month or so later . have you encountered or heard of anything like this before ? are there any common diseases in king quail you know about ? please , any help would be greatly appreciated – brendon

zebra finches are also one of the two species used for a majority of the avian research on neuroendocrine mechanisms of behavior more generally . the other is the japanese quail ( coturnix japonica ) . male japanese quail interacting with females are vigorous rapid copulators but non - copulatory social contact behavior like allopreening and huddling has not been reported [ 16 , 17 ] . the limited information available from the field suggests that the mating system of wild birds is probably flexible , with short - term serial pairings at best [ 17 , 18 ] . in contrast , king quail ( also called asian blue quail , blue - breasted quail , or chinese painted quail ) are invariably described as monogamous with strong pair bonds , based on field sightings and observations of zoo - housed animals [ 18 , 19 ] . like japanese quail , king quail are well suited to laboratory research [ 20 ] . although an ethogram was published some years ago [ 21 ] , there has been little subsequent behavioral research published on this species and none on its social behavior .
i haven’t mixed king pigeons with other birds . although they are quite large , kings are much like other rock doves in my experience , and should leave the quail alone . they may stress the quail a bit when landing or , especially , if they become startled and explode into flight , but other than that i think it should work out .
wanted male or female brown quails preferably around the ipswich area . please email or text as i cannot always answer the phone . i do not want jap or king quails .
in the turnix or button quail the hen is larger than the cock bird . the button quail hens have a brighter coloured plumage than the males . in the coturnix quail the sexes are about equal in size but the males have a brighter coloured plumage than the hens .

ecology and management of quail in australia is the first academic study of this game bird as it exists in australia . written by australian wildlife biologist dr graham hall and published in collaboration with the ssaa , the book examines australia’s three quail species - brown , stubble and king - and their introduction to and history in this country . also covered are the habitats and current populations of these species , practices for managing them , and the future of quail research and hunting in australia .
king quail have quite a variety of calls . while fairly silent outside the breeding season , one of the best indicators of its presence is a high - pitched three - note call , which has a low volume and is uttered monotonously near sun set . it may be heard all d
there is a chance that the mother quail will abandon or harm the chicks leading to you hand - raising them . many people say that quail don ' t make good mothers but this depends on the quail themselves and your experience . however , you must always be prepared for the worst .
the best way to keep baby king quailssafe from other birds is keeping them away from each other . place the mother and baby quail in a large cardboard box or cage with holes smaller than ½ inch in a draft - free room . attaching screen to the bottom and sides of the cage will ensure that the tiny quail cannot squeeze through the wire and later freeze to death . more

the groundbreaking publication delves into the specifics of the three quail species found in australia : brown , stubble and king . two of these species have a ‘game’ status , which allows them to be hunted in some states , making the research relevant and significant to game bird hunters around the country .
if you need to stay with native species , the button quail described here would be a good choice . other larger natives sometimes seen in captivity are the stubble quail , conturnix pectoralis and the brown quail c . ypsilophorus . both are rather shy and require a large , well - planted aviary .

regardless of the limited information about the mating system of either king or japanese quail in the wild , there is clearly a pronounced contrast between the overt behavior patterns of the sexes together—allopreening and huddling with little copulation in king quail and high frequency copulation with no allopreening or huddling in japanese quail . because few birds , including zebra finches , have relatives with a different mating system , the behavioral differences between these two quail species thus offer a new and unique opportunity for a comparative approach to discovering the neuroendocrine and neural basis of pairing behavior in birds . a logical next step would be to test mechanism hypotheses in birds of both species that were raised under the same conditions and tested in the same way . a comparison of the underlying mechanisms in the two quail species , when combined with the important work that has already gone on with voles , will help reveal which mechanisms are likely to generalize across the multiple independent evolutionary origins of monogamy in vertebrates [ 42 ] . the two quail species also raise interesting questions about the ultimate causes of the difference in the behavior of the sexes with each other . king quail are smaller and have a tropical distribution . japanese quail , like the sibling species coturnix coturnix , breed mainly in the temperate zone and their flexible mating system seems to be the derived state in their clade [ 39 ] . whether or how size or climate were involved in the evolution of the species difference are also questions for the future .

the experiments also provided information about some of the other behavior of this little - studied species . males never did any kind of strutting ( including the wings - down display ) to a female once they were cohabiting , even following a brief separation , and wings - down displays were often accompanied by lunging and attacking . this suggests a strictly aggressive function consistent with the “wings - down attack” name given by schleidt et al . [ 21 ] . in the king quail tests , only males ever growled , and much more growling occurred when males could not see other birds , consistent with its description as a “separation call” [ 19 ] . male japanese quail emit a vocalization that is somewhat acoustically similar , but it is associated with strutting [ 31 ] , whereas king quail growls never occurred together with wings - down displays in the experiments . the loud long - distance advertisement call of male japanese quail is the crow , which attracts females [ 32 ] . males crow much less when in visual contact with a female [ 33 ] . the loud calls of the king quail occurred only occasionally during the tests but were emitted by females as well as males .

consider adding a nesting box for the quail . you can make a nesting box out of plastic container , pots or small cardboard boxes as long as they have an entrance to them . the nesting box should be a bit bigger than the quail itself and the quail should be able to fit through the hole / entrance .

the male king quail comes in quite a few hues , which includes blue , brown , silver , maroon , darkish brown & almost black . they have orange ft which are difficult and equipped to withstand a continuous life on the ground like quite a few other activity birds . the female is similar to the male but simply cannot appear in shades of blue . they can dwell up to 13 several years in captivity but only 3 - 6 on normal . in the wild they might dwell only one . 5 several years . the eggs of king quail are a light , creamy - brown colour and a little pointed at the ‘top’ roughly ovular in condition .

the most important outcome of these experiments is the striking contrast between the behavior of king quail and japanese quail . in the king quail , only two copulation attempts were seen in over 18 hours of video recordings of males and females together in the same cage . instead , close and often mutual allopreening and huddling characterized male - female interactions once initial aggression or avoidance subsided . japanese quail , on the other hand , are famous for vigorous short latency copulation whenever males and females are placed in the same cage . they have been important subjects for studying the hormonal and neural mechanisms for avian copulatory behavior and the consequences of copulation for fertilization success [ 16 , 29 ] . although one recent study with japanese quail interprets the results of separation - reunion tests as indicating pair bonds [ 34 ] , allopreening and huddling have never been reported in this species [ 17 ] . proximity in choice tests predicts copulation , and females aggregate to try to avoid copulatory attempts by non - preferred males [ 25 , 35 ] .

although most birds are socially monogamous , research using experimental manipulations to test hypotheses about underlying hormonal and neural mechanisms for the formation and maintenance of pair relationships has been largely limited to zebra finches [ 13 ] . the experiments reported here establish king quail as a highly suitable species for the study of avian pairing behavior . the behavior is distinctive and easily measured . the birds have the same practical advantages as japanese quail , including ease of hatching , rearing , and housing , short development time , and disease resistance [ 29 ] .

flame hawkfish ( neocirrhites armatus ) are so named because of their brilliant red color . they also have a black stripe that runs along the base of their dorsal fin , as well as black circles around their eyes .

neocirrhites armatus is widespread in the pacific and commonly seen in parts of its range . neocirrhites armatus is closely associated with particular corals , however it is not known if this species is a coral obligate . very substantial declines in abundance of its host coral species could then lead to reductions in populations of this species . it is unlikely that this is a major threat to the species at this time , and there are no other known major threats . the species is listed as least concern .
there are no known conservation measures in place for neocirrhites armatus . the species does occur in marine protected areas in some parts of its range - for example the phoenix islands protected area in kiribati and the great barrier reef marine park in australia .
larger hawkfishes might eat small fish , shrimps etc . in the aquarium . species of the cyprinocirrhites and neocirrhites genera are least likely to eat shrimps etc .
neocirrhites armatus is not common in museum collections , having only 109 records worldwide ( accessed through the fishnet2 portal , www . fishnet2 . net , 2015 - 02 - 23 ) . it is very commonly seen in parts of micronesia , especially in guam and the northern mariana islands ( i . williams pers . comm . 2015 ) .
neocirrhites armatus is a solitary species that inhabits seaward reefs at depths down to 25 metres . it is usually found perching among branches of pocillopora ( for example p . eydouxi and p . elegans ) and stylophora coral heads which it inhabits for shelter as protection . this species has a maximum total length of 9 cm ( allen and erdmann 2012 ) .
( of neocirrhitus armatus castelnau , 1873 ) froese , r . & d . pauly ( editors ) . ( 2018 ) . fishbase . world wide web electronic publication . , available online at urltoken [ details ]
neocirrhites armatus is distributed in the western pacific , from japan ( the ryukyu and ogasawara islands ) , micronesia , papua new guinea ( the louisiade group ) , across melanesia and polynesia to the pitcairn islands , south to the great barrier reef , australia ( allen and erdmann 2012 ) . this species is found to depths of at least 25 m , but more commonly in 10 - 15 m ( i . williams pers . comm . 2015 ) .
there are no known major threats at this time . neocirrhites armatus is collected for the aquarium trade , but this is not thought to have a substantial impact on populations of this species . as this species is closely associated with corals , any threat to these corals could eventually impact this species . for example , such corals could be affected by climate change ( bleaching or acidification ) or destruction of coral habitat . very substantial declines in abundance of its host coral species could then lead to reductions in populations of this species ; however , it is unlikely that such impacts would threaten this species within three generation lengths .
donaldson replies : “i am still investigating the question you raised but can offer a bit of insight . with neocirrhites and probably oxycirrhites typus , both obligate coral - dwelling species , sex - change is probably driven by environmental / behavioral cues , e . g . the loss of the male in a mating group . ”

a hardy marine , suitable for reef or fish - only systems , but will prey on small ornamental fish and motile invertebrates—this is not restricted to animals small enough to be ingested whole , as they will dismember larger prey items . highly oxygenated water
a hawkfish wants a high perch from which it can keep an eye on the scene below , and down from which it can swoop onto its prey . in the wild it is an obligate resident of coral branches , and in the aquarium it needs a suitable habitat into which it can div
carnivorous . despite the fact that their natural behaviors are centered around a highly predatory lifestyle , flame hawks are usually easy to wean over to prepared foods and will then greedily accept all regular aquarium fare .
believed to be a protogynous hermaphrodite , with the male generally being slightly larger . although captive spawnings occur , no successful rearing of the fry , which have a long planktonic stage , has been reported .
bright red with a broad , arc - shaped black dorsal band and a black eye ring .
a bit pricier than other hawkfishes , the flame hawk is still less expensive than many other popular marines . its color and personality ensure its steady popularity . lacking a swimbladder , these animals stay motionless on their perch until prey is sighted , at which point they swoop down onto their meal like their avian namesakes . because a hawkfish can be extremely territorial about its perch , it is recommended that other species be stocked in the aquarium first to allow them to establish territories before the hawkfish arrives to claim what it wants . the flame hawk is a beautiful and fascinating fish that certainly deserves its continued popularity .
this little fish was my dinner date on a recent night out . though it turns out she has quite the complicated love life .
native to the coral reefs of the western pacific ocean , the flame hawkfish is a sought - after species in the aquarium fish trade . hobbyists enjoy its inquisitive nature , darting about the fish tank and peering at visitors with muppet - like , googly eyes . hawkfish are called such because of their habit of perching atop coral branches like hawks — then bursting off for circling swims to patrol their patch of territory , before returning to their favorite perching branch .
while our date that night was brief , the flame hawkfish has no shortage of romantic intrigue .
the flame hawkfish favors a specific type of coral and is highly preferential in terms of territory — some individuals have been observed to reside continuously on the same coral head for more than two years ( donaldson 1989 ) .
within their little homefront , flame hawkfish often live in monogamous pairs , defending their territory against intruding males and large females . couples engage in frequent courtship year - round , and courtship takes place — you guessed it — around sunset ( donaldson 1989 ) .
but like many other reef fish species , the “relationship status” of flame hawkfish has dizzying twists , many of them described by biologist terry donaldson in a 1989 study .
it seems that flame hawkfish monogamy depends on the size and number of their coral head habitat . on reefs where suitable coral heads are located sufficiently apart , flame hawkfish are likely to form monogamous pairs , presumably because the chance of males finding and meeting female mates is much lower .
but on coral heads large enough to support the territories of multiple females , or on reefs where suitable coral heads are located close enough together , males will “acquire” additional females — and a small harem forms .
donaldson observed two of these relationship structures . in one , “a male living with a female often made visits to a second adjacent female during courtship periods , but returned to the coral where the first female resided . ”
in another , a single male living alone will have visited “each of the females in adjacent coral heads during courtship periods but returned to its own coral head when courtship had been completed . ”
to use american english vernacular , some male flame hawkfish , it would appear , are “playahs” .
but wait , there’s more ! it turns out that flame hawkfish are “protogynous hermaphrodites” — all flame hawkfish are born female , but as they grow larger , their gonads will change from egg - producing ovaries into sperm - producing testes . the sex change is permanent and males can’t change back into females — although there are other species of hawkfish that can do so ( sadovy and donaldson 1995 ) .
this expected sex change might explain why on smaller coral heads where mates are hard to come by , flame hawkfish couples will chase away intruding males and and large females .
a resident female has an obvious incentive to chase away intruding females , to prevent them from stealing her man , so to speak . but a resident male has an incentive to chase away large females because a large female could be ready to change into a male — one that could subsequently steal his woman .
so , it was probably for the better that my hawkfish date didn’t get too serious . even if we had hit it off , i might have come home one day to find all my possessions thrown out of my house , with my hawkfish bride - turned - groom possibly on the prowl and sleeping around with my neighbors . my life ruined because of some pint - sized , tomato - colored sleazeball…
addendum october 27 , 2013 : professor terry donaldson followed up with me by email , and offered even more fascinating observations about the breeding ecology of the flame hawkfish . i asked him whether flame hawkfish changed sex simply as they grew larger , or whether females changed sex when a resident male is lost .
donaldson adds he suspects flame hawkfish are capable of bidirectional sex change — unlimited gender switches between male / female states — and he hopes to conduct further studies .
“bidirectional sex change might occur also , but again this would be driven by a behavioral cue . if a larger male succeeds in gaining entry into a coral head , it might force the smaller resident male to change back into a female , so as to make the best of a bad situation without losing available microhabitat and mating opportunities . ”

this species can be kept in a small tank , if it is specifically equipped to meet its needs .
it is recommended however , to keep it in an aquarium which is larger then described above .
this species can be a threat for small fishes , crustaceans , worms , snails etc .
food with plenty of pigment and generally a varied diet of high quality can help alleviate colour loss .
when a male is needed , a female changes sex and takes on the role .
this species can be aggressive when kept together with fish that are very similar , or if they are not provided with adequate space .
hawkfish stay still and wait for food most of the time , they are therefore suitable for smaller aquaria .
very aggressive genera the very aggressive species will sometimes attack many different types of fish , even the ones that are larger than themselves .
semi aggressive genera the semi aggressive species are most threatening towards fish whose behaviour mimcks their own , and fish which are introduced after they have settled in .
less aggressive genera the less aggressive species are rarely threatening towards fish that which do not resemble them .
hawkfish do not place many demands on their surroundings or water quality , as they are fairly hardy .
it is possible to keep several hawkfish together , but sometimes they will suddenly begin to fight after some time in the aquarium . this may be due to them changing gender so one can end up with two males .

minimum volume
indicates the size of the tank needed to house this species under optimal conditions .
this is based on a medium size animal , which you want to keep for several years . it might be possible to keep smaller specimens for a limited period in a smaller tank . a larger tank might be needed for fully - grown specimens .
hardiness
indicates how resistant this species is to disease and how well i tolerates bad conditions in general . some species doesn ' t handle transportation very well , but that doesn ' t mean that the species isn ' t hardy under the right conditions .
in this case , a
normal
aquarium is a reef aquarium with mixed corals or a fish only aquarium with an approximately salinity of 1 . 026 ( sg ) and a temperature close to 26°c . species requiring more than a 4000 - liter tank are considered not suitable for home aquarium .
special aquariums may cover tanks with low salinity , sub - tropical temperature , deep sand bed , sea grass etc .
always reef safe : no sources indicate that this species will harm corals or other invertebrates .
often reef safe : only a few aquarists has reported problems keeping this species with corals and other invertebrates .
reef safe with caution : this species may be a threat to some types of invertebrates .
reef safe with luck : most specimens will harm corals and / or other invertebrates , but you might be lucky .
not reef safe : this species is a threat to most corals and / or other invertebrates .

in their natural environment , flame hawkfish are often found in living in pairs in the shallow waters of the pacific ocean . they are usually found along coral reefs .
flame hawkfish are bottom - dwelling fish and they often hide among hard corals . you should also provide lots of live rock in their aquarium .
although flame hawkfish do best when living among hard corals , they often eat the other inhabitants in a reef tanks , such as small crustaceans and molluscs . they will eat your ornamental shrimps and hermit crabs , and sometimes even smaller fish and some sessile invertebrates .
in fact , their natural diet consists of small molluscs and other crustaceans . in captivity , flame hawkfish sometimes lose their brilliant red color due to dietary deficiencies . to prevent this , feed them meaty marine foods , chopped up sea food ( crab , shrimp , squid ) as well as other meaty marine fish foods ( mysid shrimp , vitamin enriched brine shrimp , frozen marine fish food ) . they enjoy eating marine snails and feeder shrimp .
flame hawkfish are small fish , reaching only about 3 . 5 - 4 inches ( 9 - 10 cm ) in length . despite their small size they can become territorial toward other bottom - dwelling fish . they are generally peaceful with non bottom - dwellers .

it existed during the middle carnian age of the late triassic ( around 216.5 to 228.0 million years ago ) .

the scant fossil material and the locality they were collected from ( the gorno formation were once shallow lagoons ) lead to initial uncertainty over the nature of the fossil .

it was proposed to be the remains of a pycnodont fish but further studies eventually made this hypothesis unlikely .

the overall morphology of the teeth suggests they are the upper postcanines of the right maxilla of a gomphodont ( herbivorous cynodonts ) , but they also possess unique characteristics that make their taxonomic assignment difficult .

a jaw fragment with three teeth preserved , collected from the gorno formation ( carnian , upper triassic ) of lombardy ( italy ) is described . the teeth are transversely elongated , three - cusped and bear anterior and posterior cingula . their overall morphology supports their identification as postcanines of a gomphodont cynodont . the unique tooth morphology of the new specimen supports its attribution to a new genus and species , while at the same time precluding positive assignment to already known gomphodont families . there is a fairly small record of gomphodont cynodonts in europe , so that the described specimen adds to the knowledge of the distribution and diversity of european gomphodonts and it also represents the first ever collected in italy .

sacc . 2005 and updates . a classification of the bird species of south america . available at : urltoken .
justification : this species has a very large range , and hence does not approach the thresholds for vulnerable under the range size criterion ( extent of occurrence < 20 , 000 km2 combined with a declining or fluctuating range size , habitat extent / quality , or population size and a small number of locations or severe fragmentation ) . despite the fact that the population trend appears to be decreasing , the decline is not believed to be sufficiently rapid to approach the thresholds for vulnerable under the population trend criterion ( > 30 % decline over ten years or three generations ) . the population size has not been quantified , but it is not believed to approach the thresholds for vulnerable under the population size criterion ( < 10 , 000 mature individuals with a continuing decline estimated to be > 10 % in ten years or three generations , or with a specified population structure ) . for these reasons the species is evaluated as least concern .
the global population size has not been quantified , but this species is described as ' rare ' ( stotz et al . 1996 ) . trend justification : this species is suspected to lose 4 . 1 - 4 . 3 % of suitable habitat within its distribution over three generations ( 12 years ) based on a model of amazonian deforestation ( soares - filho et al . 2006 , bird et al . 2011 ) . it is therefore suspected to decline by < 25 % over three generations .
