eudocimus is a genus of ibises , wading birds of the family threskiornithidae .

they occur in the warmer parts of the new world with representatives from the southern united states south through central america , the west indies , and south america .

there are just two species in this genus , american white ibis ( eudocimus albus ) scarlet ibis ( eudocimus ruber ) the two species hybridise , and are sometimes considered conspecific .

the genus eudocimus appears to be most closely related to ( but more primitive than ) plegadis , the latter distinguished anatomically by the conformation of the tarsometatarsus .

the fossil record is poor , but the early miocene fossil species plegadis paganus has some intermediate features .

it has two foramina in the intertrochlear groove of its distal tarsometatarsus , as do plegadis in contrast to the single foramen of eudocimus and many other bird species .

the derived nature of this species indicates ibises belonging to eudocimus were already in existence at this time .

a 2010 study of mitochondrial dna of the spoonbills by chesser and colleagues , which included e. ruber , nipponia nippon and threskiornis aethiopicus found that e. ruber was an early offshoot and not closely related to a clade containing the spoonbills and old world ibises .

remains similar to e. albus have been found in middle pliocene deposits of the bone valley formation in central florida , and lower pliocene deposits of the yorktown formation at lee creek in north carolina .

two species , one living and one extinct , have been recovered from the talara tar seeps in northern coastal peru .

eudocimus peruvianus was described from a tarsometatarsus that differed slightly from e. albus , whose remains were also found there .

remains of neither species are common in the beds .

the tar seeps have been dated at 13,900 years old .

the american white ibis is still found in peru .

these birds are found in marshy wetlands , often near coasts .

they build stick nests in trees or bushes over water , and a typical clutch is two to five eggs .

eudocimus ibises are monogamous and colonial , often nesting in mixed colonies with other wading species .

adults are 56 – 61 cm long with an 85 – 95 cm wingspan .

they have long curved bills , pink legs and bare red faces .

the plumage is all-white ( albus ) or all-scarlet ( ruber ) , except for the black wing-tips , which are easily visible in flight .

juveniles are largely brown with white underparts and duller bare parts .

eudocimus ibises feed by probing with their long , downcurved beaks .

their diet consists of fish , frogs , crustaceans and insects .

they fly with neck and legs outstretched , often in long , loose lines , especially on their way to or from the night-time roosts .

eudocimus pleased god by his blameless life , and the lord called him at age 33 . lying on his deathbed , saint eudocimus gave final instructions to place him in the grave in those clothes in which he would meet death . then he sent everyone out of the room and entreated the lord that no one would see his end , just as no one saw his secret efforts during life . his attendants buried him as he had instructed them . right after the death of saint eudocimus miracles took place at his grave . many sick people were healed , and the news of the miraculous healings spread .
saint eudocimus is considered by the russian church to be one of the special protectors and intercessors before god of the family hearth . he was , as his name implies , truly successful in every virtue .
the righteous life of saint eudocimus was devoted to pleasing god and serving his neighbor . having given a vow to remain unmarried and chaste , he avoided conversation with women and did not look at them . he would speak only with his own mother , whom he greatly respected . the emperor valued his virtue and talents , so he appointed saint eudocimus as governor of chorziane , armenia . fulfilling his duty as a servant of god , saint eudocimus governed the people justly and with kindness . he concerned himself with the unfortunate , and with orphans and widows , and he was a defender of the common people . his personal christian exploits which he did in secret , were known only to god .
saint eudocimus , a native of cappadocia ( asia minor ) , lived during the ninth century during the reign of emperor theophilus ( 829 - 842 ) . he was the son of the pious christians basil and eudokia , an illustrious family known to the emperor . they raised their son “in discipline and admonition of the lord” ( eph . 6 : 4 ) , planting in his soul a sincere faith and holy virtues .
after 18 months , the mother of saint eudocimus came from constantinople to venerate his relics . she gave orders to remove the stone , dig up the ground , and open the grave . everyone beheld the face of the saint , bright as if alive , altogether untouched by decay . a great fragrance came from him . they took up the coffin with the relics from the earth , and they dressed the saint in new clothes . his mother wanted to take the relics of her son to constantinople , but the kharsian people would not clear a path for their holy one . after a certain time the hieromonk joseph , having lived and served at the grave of the saint , transported the relics of saint eudocimus to constantinople . there they were placed in a silver reliquary in the church of the most holy theotokos , built by the parents of the saint .

prefers swampy environments such as mud flats and shallow bays . it tends to reproduce and nest on dense brush - covered islands and mangroves near the mouths of rivers .
is in the same family as spoonbills . ibises have slightly webbed feet and a thin , down - curved bill . they fly with the bill forward and neck held straight . all ibises are long - legged and long - necked wading birds , but
can be characterized by its stunning red plumage and its glossy blue - black wing tips . this bright red color fades to pink in captive zoo birds , unless they are given a specific diet , which consists of high levels of protein and shrimp meat . although the adults are brightly colored , the young are dull , with a grayish - brown color and white underbellies . females and males are identical in coloration , but the male ' s body size and bill length are much larger . scarlet ibises weigh between 0 . 772 to 0 . 935 g , are 55 . 8 to 76 . 2 cm long and have wingspans of 52 . 1 to 56 . 1 cm . their metabolic rate can reach 1432 cm ^ 3 oxygen / hour .

has a colonial and social breeding system . nests are generally built close to one another with more than one per tree . this is most likely done to reduce the risks of predation . males use displays of preening , flights , head rubbing , and a rocking motion to attract mates . a female must be cautious when approaching a male , because he may actually attack her if she does not remain in his display area . scarlet ibises are polygynous , the males often mate with more than one female .
( hancock , et al . , 1992 ; olmos and silva , 2001 ;

begins visiting its colonial nesting sites by mid - september , egg - laying takes place between early november through december . the first egg is laid 5 to 6 days after copulation and there are usually 3 to 5 eggs in each nest . eggs are not glossy , but are smooth . incubation lasts between 19 to 23 days . chicks fledge after 35 days and are independent in 75 days .
( hancock , et al . , 1992 ; olmos and silva , 2001 )
are altricial , when they first hatch , they are helpless and cannot even hold up their heads . both adult birds share in the responsibilities of caring for and tending to the young . both incubate , provide food and also guard against predators . to feed their chicks adults grab hold of the bill of the young bird , which causes it to raise its head so that the parent can regurgitate into the mouth . the chick ' s feet develop quite fast ; this allows the chicks to fledge as early as 2 weeks . by 40 days old , the young are able to fly well and by 75 days old , they are able to provide for themselves and can leave the colony .
have approximately a 50 % mortality rate . in general , colonies suffer from high mortality rates due to predation and lack of food . although information on actual lifespan of
usually lives for about 16 years in the wild and 20 years in captivity ; the oldest known captive individual lived 31 years .

is a highly communal species . it is social both during nesting and when searching for food .
will fly in large flocks between different feeding and roosting sites . in flight , the birds will soar and also glide at great heights and speeds . if disturbed , sometimes all the birds of a nesting area will take flight at once . territorial disputes between males are settled by size .
is varied and extensive , because of nomadic movements between nesting and foraging sites . shifts occur between the interior wetlands of northern south america to coastal locations . more specifically , birds forage between the higher and lower llanos of south america . nesting then takes place in northwestern colombia and along the atlantic coast and into brazil where it nests along the northeastern coast .
produces a honking noise to communicate disturbances in the nest and also uses the noise in courtship . the young have a shrill cry , that they use to let parents know that they are in need of food . touch is important during courtship . the males and females make greeting displays to one another and then wrap necks . the male produces the honking noise during courtship , while the female produces more of a squealing sound .
forages for food by either probing in water with its long bill or pecking for prey items on soil surfaces . their main diet consists of crustaceans and aquatic invertebrates . crayfish and small crabs compose a bulk of the diet , along with aquatic insects . frogs , mollusks , small snakes and small fish are also prey for

stays together in large groups . that way , males can use their larger size to defend their young and their female mates . the large grouping is also useful because the birds produce warning calls to warn the others of danger .
lives among many other wading birds . while it can live harmoniously with other species , it also defends its individual space very aggressively . other birds often steal the eggs of
, thus it must be protective of its territory . because of its large colonial sizes ( which can have anywhere from 20 to 600 nests , and sometimes even up to 2000 nests ) ,
contributes significantly to the energy flow of organisms in the environment in which it lives . in one wetland , it has been noted to be responsible for 10 % of the energy flow through the community .
this species forages for food with many other types of wading birds , such as storks and spoonbills and specifically has been seen living with brazilian wading ducks . one reason that the species may be mutualistic in sharing feeding areas is that if it allows for a great number of birds to feed communally at its site , then it has a better chance to hide from predators among all the other birds . also , many wading birds together stir up the shallow water and disturb the prey so that they are easier to find and catch .
many other types of wading birds , such as storks , spoonbills and brazilian wading ducks .
dates back to the 16th century when indian tribes would use the bright feathers for adornment and also eat the meat of the bird .
meat and eggs are still used as food by humans and the feathers continue to be used as decorative objects by people both inside and outside of the indian community .
uses sends it into many different environments to find its meals . unfortunately , their foraging can lead the birds to beaches , gardens , yards , playing fields , golf courses , and even agricultural fields where it can disrupt the residential lives and activities of people . while no major economic downfalls or disturbances have been reported as a result of
, many consider the large number of birds in these public areas to sometimes be a nuisance .
. other crucial aspects threatening the species revolve around habitat loss . nesting ground destruction and loss of foraging and feeding grounds are serious problems , along with heavy pollution in these now limited areas . disturbance of breeding and foraging areas because of recreational activities , such as boating , is also a complication for colonies of
habitats and also gaurd the animal from hunting . however , in many areas , law enforcement is weak . in order to sustain the populations of
, pollution must be controlled in their breeding and feeding areas and people living in rural areas should be education about the bird . they are protected by the us migratory bird treaty act and are listed as appendix ii by cites .

) are wading birds that are native to the coastal regions of southeastern north american . year - round , their range extends from delaware south to the shores of central america . during the end of the summer months , however , white ibises can be found as far north as new york . during the spring breeding season , their population seems to be localized on the southern portion of the atlantic coast ( south of virginia ) including the entire u . s . and mexico gulf coast , cuba , dominican republic , the brazilian and colombian coast , and hispaniola . remote breeding locations can also be found on the northern coast of venezuela . during the winter months , white ibises migrate south of the carolinas and localize in the coastal areas of the united states and internationally .
( frederick and ogden , 1997 ; frederick , et al . , 1996 ; frederick , 1987 ; heath , et al . , 2009 )
because they require shallow water for feeding , many white ibises are found in coastal , aquatic environments such as ponds and lakes or inland wetlands . white ibises are primarily found in coastal regions during the summer and winter months and move inland towards the beginning of the breeding and nesting seasons . because water depth is of the upmost importance for their feeding and reproductive behaviors , white ibises may shift locations due to the rise and fall of water levels . for example , white ibises have been known to move inland to fields and wetlands when floodwaters advance , exceeding depths of 20 cm .
( bildstein , et al . , 1990 ; heath , et al . , 2009 )
white ibises are white , long - legged wading birds with black wing tips . they possess a long curved bill that aids in feeding . a sexually dimorphic species , adult males are significantly larger than adult females , weighing , on average , about 1 , 050 grams compared to 750 grams among female ibises . female bills and wingspans are , on average , shorter than males . the wingspan of white ibises ranges from 56 to 68 cm . adolescent white ibises lack feathers until they are 4 to 5 days old . at this point , feathers are brownish gray , and do not become completely white until adulthood . upon hatching , juvenile white ibises exhibit a pinkish white bill that is relatively straight . after the first two weeks , the bill begins to elongate , curve downward , and appears similar to the long distinctive adult bill . during the breeding seasons , male and female white ibises display sexually monomorphic changes . this includes the pink coloration of the bill that fades and becomes black at the tip later in the breeding season . also , the legs and faces of breeding white ibises are red . a red gular pouch is also displayed by female white ibises . this structural feature is present for about 10 days during the displaying phase of breeding .
( bildstein , 1987 ; de santo , et al . , 1990 ; heath and frederick , 2006 ; heath , et al . , 2003 ; heath , et al . , 2009 ; kushlan - a , 1977 ; petit and bildstein , 1986 )
white ibises are a monogamous species that possess five stages during the breeding season , which begins in early spring ( march ) . the five stages include display , copulation , egg - production , incubation , and chick rearing . these stages are tied to major behavioral changes exhibited by both sexes . the first stage is display , which lasts about 10 days . this is when mate choice is decided and display flights take place . involving many individuals of the colony , these display flights result in the birds flying in a circular motion around the perimeter of the colony , diving up and down . mate choice seems to be catalyzed by the formation of a red gular sac on the female . the females display these bright red pouches to the males , which initiates the pair formation . once pairing has occurred , the male and female lock heads by wrapping their necks together . the pair then proceeds to lunge their heads toward the ground in a thrust - like motion . males take the process of pairing extremely serious and have been known to attack , mate by force , or abandon the nest if another male has breed with his mate . however , some studies emphasize that this forced copulation behavior has not been directly observed , so there is some question about this tactic .
( frederick , 1987 ; heath and frederick , 2006 ; heath , et al . , 2009 ; kushlan - c , 1977 )
the second step is the copulation stage , when mating occurs . males display many courtship behaviors including rubbing their bill on the female’s head , preening , and head - nodding at the female . males may become violent during this period and sometimes injure the females . due to the aggressive nature of displaying males , females approach in a submissive manner and produce a high - pitched squeal as a greeting . during this time , nest construction begins . nest construction is dependent on both parents . female white ibises construct the nest by grabbing twigs with their bill and forcing them into the nest framework , while males collect dead or living twigs for the females to use . males may steal twigs and other wooden materials from other nests . nests are normally located in the tops of trees , specifically in the crook of the trunk . however , nests have also been located on the ground . after the nest construction period , the third stage of breeding , egg production , begins . males are still extremely aggressive towards other males of the colony and to their own mate , as a way of protecting their young . the last stages are egg incubation , which lasts 3 weeks and chick - rearing , which lasts 6 weeks .
( frederick , 1987 ; heath and frederick , 2005 ; heath and frederick , 2006 ; heath , et al . , 2003 ; heath , et al . , 2009 ; kushlan - c , 1977 )
white ibises breed once a year during the spring months , from march to april . during the egg production stage , which occurs 4 to 5 days after mating , female ibises lay one egg every other day , with an average clutch size ranging from 2 to 4 eggs . in one rare instance , a clutch size as large as 7 eggs was recorded . the clutch size can vary depending on geographic location . for example , inland populations tend to have larger clutches of 2 to 3 eggs , compared to coastal populations that average 1 to 2 eggs . each clutch is concluded within a week . the eggs can be brown or cream , with blueish green spots . on average , eggs weigh about 50 . 8 g and measure 58 by 39 mm . once the eggs are hatched , both parents contribute to the warmth of their young by laying on top of them , which last about 3 weeks . sexual maturity for both males and females is reached at age 3 .
( frederick , 1987 ; heath and frederick , 2006 ; heath , et al . , 2009 )
during the incubation period , female white ibises leave to gather food for the young , while the male white ibises stay to protect the nest . the incubation period , which is primarily the male ' s job , lasts about 3 weeks . because males are significantly bigger and more aggressive than females , this likely provides better protection for the hatchlings . studies have shown that when male white ibises are incubating and caring for their young , testosterone levels drop considerably . some hypothesize this enhances their ability to stay and watch over the young . hatchlings are initially unable to move due to their weak legs . additionally , young white ibises are unable to see for 1 to 3 days , because their eyes have not yet opened and do not fully open until day 9 . due to these limitations , the young are completely dependent upon their parents . both of the parents aid in the feeding process . because young white ibises have underdeveloped neck muscles , hatchlings are unable to sustain the weight of their neck and have to lie on their side for 1 to 2 days until their muscles properly develop . during this time , parental ibises lie on top of their young to ensure warmth . on their 2nd day , adolescent ibises begin eating food . the young remain in the nest for about 40 days , while completing short flights and gaining the ability to find food . adult ibises teach their young to fly by standing close to them and beginning to take off . this allows the young to mimic the adults’ technique . once they are able to fly , juveniles are independent and depart from the original colony .
( frederick , 1987 ; heath and frederick , 2005 ; heath and frederick , 2006 ; heath , et al . , 2003 ; heath , et al . , 2009 )
from banding data , the oldest white ibis found in the wild was 16 years and 4 months old . however , the average lifespan and survivorship of wild adult ibises has not been reported . the maximum lifespan observed in captivity was 27 years and 7 months , with an average in captivity of about 20 years . nestling survivorship is considerably lower after the first 20 days post - hatching and varies significantly with age and year , which may be explained by predation . for example , in the coastal regions of north carolina ( 1980 to 1982 ) the survivorship of nestlings to 10 days old was 89 % in the first year , 86 % in the second year , and 68 % in the third year . in the everglades , nestling data was collected from the same colony for 21 days over three years . to day 21 in the everglades , nestling survivorship ranged from 37 to 83 % . in addition , nestling survivorship for coastal louisiana is 55 % . in florida , nestling survivorship to 60 and 90 days old was 59 to 94 % and 44 to 78 % , respectively .
( brouwer , et al . , 1993 ; clapp , et al . , 1982 ; heath , et al . , 2009 )
white ibises practice a colonial lifestyle . these birds are highly sociable and are found in large colonies of 500 to 15 , 000 birds at all times . the large colonies aid in their protection from possible predators . for example , if a predator threatens colony members , large groups of ibises will come together to alleviate the threat . the colony participates in many activities together including feeding , foraging , nesting , mating , and roosting .
while searching for food , white ibises forage primary through tactile probing , by thrusting their bill into the wetland substrate , while traveling at a very slow pace . once prey are found and removed from the substrate , white ibises swallow the prey by rapidly lunging their head forward . white ibises feed in large groups ( > 5 , 000 birds ) primarily in the early morning and / or late evening . however , this early morning and late evening feeding is not observed during the nesting period .
( frederick and ogden , 1997 ; heath , et al . , 2009 ; kushlan , 1979 )
these birds may fly over 30 km in a single trip . while in flight , these birds remain in “v” - shaped groups known as skeins . this v formation probably increases aerodynamics while in flight . learning to fly in this formation is essential to the survival of adolescent white ibises . juveniles that are unable to develop this behavioral pattern exhibit a significantly higher mortality rate .
( heath , et al . , 2009 ; petit and bildstein , 1986 )
white ibises tend to travel based on the abundance of food and conditions of the current habitat . foraging flights regularly take place and are usually less than 40 km at one time . colonies of greater than 1 , 000 breeding pairs cover over 800 square kilometers of wetlands .
( de santo , et al . , 1997 ; frederick and ogden , 1997 ; heath , et al . , 2009 )
white ibises locate prey by non - visual , tactile sensations . they are relatively quiet birds , but are known to communicate with a
honking
noise to others in the colony . newly - hatched ibises have a distinctive chirping or
begging
call . this verbal communication of adolescent ibises enables the parents to distinguish their young from the rest of the colony . during the breeding season , male and female ibises develop distinct coloration , which is a form of nonverbal communication , indicating the beginning of courtship behavior . during the time of confrontations , males exhibit visual communication patterns as warning signals including bill chattering and horizontal thrusting toward opponents .
( de santo , et al . , 1990 ; heath and frederick , 2006 ; heath , et al . , 2003 ; heath , et al . , 2009 )
white ibises are foraging birds that search for their prey in shallow waters , about 10 to 15 cm deep . their diet includes insects , crustaceans , small fish , snails , frogs , and other aquatic organisms . white ibises hunt by non - visual , tactile clues provided by their long , curved bill . this long bill allows them to dig into the mud and find the prey . their long bill also helps search for food at slightly deeper water levels . however , food availability is extremely limited by the water levels . for example , if water levels are too high , white ibises cannot forage the wetland substrate their prey inhabits . in contrast , when water levels are too low , many of the aquatic organisms they consume are no longer present . adult white ibises feed in very large groups , while juveniles feed on the perimeter of the colony in the less desirable waters . no diet variation has been observed between juveniles and adults . because males are larger , they forage longer than females to meet energy requirements .
( aguilera , et al . , 1993 ; bilstein , 1983 ; heath and frederick , 2006 ; heath , et al . , 2009 ; kushlan , 1979 )
, which consume ibis eggs . to combat this predation , parental white ibises rarely leave the nest unattended . males display intense aggressive behaviors to fend off fish crows . however , when fish crows discover an unattended nest , they will consume all eggs in the nest . predation by these crows decreases the colony ' s nesting success and is a major cause of mortality experienced by white ibises . white ibis eggs are also preyed on by
have been thought to induce a predatory stress on white ibises , but no studies substantiate this hypothesis .
( dronen and blend , 2008 ; heath , et al . , 2009 ; shield and pamell , 1986 )
colonies of white ibises affect local ecosystems by taking up nutrients while foraging and transporting them to nesting areas . this allows nutrients , such as potassium , phosphorus , and calcium , to be widely dispersed throughout the habitat . many parasitic organisms inhabit adult white ibises including 17 species of nematodes , 21 species of trematodes , 2 species of cestodes , 2 species of acanthocephalans , 3 species of mites , and 5 species of lice .
( forrester and spalding , 2003 ; heath , et al . , 2009 )
in the past , white ibises had been hunted and sold as a food source by native americans and individuals that lived in close proximity to their colonies . in some areas , this practice still continues today . some consider this bird to be a delicacy due to their appealing taste , which is thought to be derived from their crayfish diet .
in louisiana , crayfish producers have been significantly impacted by crayfish predation from white ibises . crayfish farmers have been known to hunt ibises to protect the crayfish from predation . white ibises have no other known adverse effects on humans .
according to the iucn red list , white ibises are listed as least concern and have no special status on the us migratory bird act and the us federal list . currently , their population is large and relatively stable . however , according to the north american waterbird conservation plan ( nawcp ) , their population is of moderate concern due to their migratory pattern and their limited range during non - breeding and breeding seasons . deterioration of their natural habitat is a big threat to their population . for example , in the 1930s to 1970s there was a significant decline ( > 95 % ) of the white ibis population in the florida everglades . this may have been in part caused by human involvement that interrupted the natural hydrologic regime of the everglades , which caused a decrease in food availability . in addition , toxic contaminants in the wetlands , such as mercury , also threatened their population . white ibises captured from the florida everglades in 1999 to 2001 had an accumulation of mercury in their blood , which has detrimental effects on their nervous and reproductive systems . steps to restore and reduce wetland contamination could significantly improve population sizes , including protection of foraging locations and preservation of the natural hydrologic regime .

a species is polymorphic if its individuals can be divided into two or more easily recognized groups , based on structure , color , or other similar characteristics . the term only applies when the distinct groups can be found in the same area ; graded or clinal variation throughout the range of a species ( e . g . a north - to - south decrease in size ) is not polymorphism . polymorphic characteristics may be inherited because the differences have a genetic basis , or they may be the result of environmental influences . we do not consider sexual differences ( i . e . sexual dimorphism ) , seasonal changes ( e . g . change in fur color ) , or age - related changes to be polymorphic . polymorphism in a local population can be an adaptation to prevent density - dependent predation , where predators preferentially prey on the most common morph .
