Soft cover. Condición: As New. 104 pp. ; paper wrappers ; illustrated ; Contents: Dispersal, Mimicry, and Geographic Variation in Northern Melanesian Birds / Jared Diamond (Abstract: I present new information about 34 of the 195 resident land and freshwater bird species of north ern Melanesia, an area characterized by a rich avifauna, high endemism, and great geographic variation in morphology. There are many examples of geographic variation in voice, behavior, habitat preference, altitudinal range, vertical stratum, abunda nce, and nest. Possible vocal convergence or mimicry between sympatric populations of different species is described between the goshawk Accipiter albogularis and the kingfisher Halcyon chloris, between the cuckoo-shrike Coracina [tenuirostris] and other species in its mixed-species foraging flocks, between the white-eyes Zosterops murphyi and Z. rendovae kulambangrae, and between the starlings Aplonis grandis and Mino dumontii. Hybridization is reported between the Bismarck and New Guinea rac es of the cuckoo Eudynamys scolopacea on Long Island (described as a new subspecies), between the whistlers Pachycephala pectoralis and P. melanura, and between the honey-eaters Myzomela tristrami and M. cardinalis. Cyclones bring Australian species , some of which occasionally remain to breed. Over-water dispersal ability varies greatly, from species that can be seen flying over water any day to species that rarely or never cross water. For instance, a channel 12 km long and only 0.15-1 km wid e divides Florida Island into two halves, one of which possesses and the other of which lacks a resident population of the coucal Centropus milo) -- Notes on Hawaiian Snake Eels (Pisces: Ophichthidae), with Comments on Ophichthus bonaparti / John E. McCosker (Abstract: The 22 ophichthid eel species of the Hawaiian Islands (including Johnston and the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands) are reviewed, and a key to their identification is provided. New Hawaiian records of Indo-Pacific species include C allechelys catostoma and Ophichthus bonaparti. Callechelys lutea is reported from Johnston Island. Hawaiian and Johnston Island ophichthid species comprise: Apterichtus flavicaudus, Brachysomophis crocodilinus, B. henshawi, Callechelys catostoma, C. lutea, Cirrhimuraena playfairii, Ichthyapus vulturis, Leiuranus semicinctus, Muraenichthys schultzei, Myrichthys colubrinus, M. magnificus, Ophichthus bonaparti, O. erabo, O. kunaloa, O. polyophthalmus, Phaenomonas cooperae, Phyllophichthus xenodon tus, Schismorhynchus labialis, Schultzidia johnstonensis, Scolecenchelys cookei, S. gymnota, and S. puhioilo. Additional data are provided for the rare deep-water species Ophichthus kunaloa. The following synonymies are proposed: Ophisurus chrysospi los Bleeker, Poecilocephalus markworti Kaup, Ophichthys episcopus Castelnau, and Ophichthys garretti Günther = Ophichthus bonaparti (Kaup); and Ophichthus retifer Fowler = Ophichthus erabo (Jordan & Snyder). The endemism and distribution of Hawaiian and Johnston Island ophichthids (22.7%) are discussed and compared with those of muraenid eels. Vertebral formulas are provided for all species to facilitate the identification of leptocephali.) -- Reproductive Ecology of the Gobiid Fish Eviota aba x at Nobeoka, Japan, with Notes on Geographic Variation / Masanori Taru and Tomoki Sunobe (Abstract: The reproductive behavior and spawning cycle of the gobiid fish Eviota abax were observed in a rocky tide pool at Nobeoka, Miyazaki, Japan. Both se xes maintained nonterritorial, overlapping home ranges. The spawnings took place at the low tide of neap to spring tidal periods. Matings varied in each spawning cycle, but males did not simultaneously mate with multiple females. Males were larger t han females in the spawning pairs. After spawning, only the male guarded the egg mass. ; AS NEW. Book.…

Hardcover. Original cloth. Condición: Very Good (Used copy). HISTORY South Africa -The Reminiscences of Thomas Stubbs, including Men I have known is a historical autobiography and personal narrative written by Thomas Stubbs (1808â"1877), a prominent British 1820 Settler in South Africa. [1, 2]Edited by W.A. Maxwell and R.T. McGeogh, the manuscript was published posthumously in 1978 by A.A. Balkema for Rhodes University as part of the Graham's Town Series. It serves as a vital first-hand account of early 19th-century colonial expansion, fluid border politics, and conflict in the Eastern Cape. [1, 2, 3]Core Themes & Historical Content The 1820 Settler Experience: The book begins with Stubbs' childhood memory of embarking from London on the settler ship Northampton. It details his early pioneering years as a saddler's apprentice and his varied, often difficult, career as a businessman and mail contractor in Grahamstown (including a bankruptcy declaration in 1858). Frontier Warfare & Leadership: Stubbs achieved historical prominence as a military and civic leader during the Seventh and Eighth Frontier Wars (also known as the Xhosa Wars or Albany Wars of 1846 and 1850). He founded Stubbs' Sporting Club, which evolved into the Albany Rangers (Mounted Rangers). As their Field Commander from 1850 to 1853, he led civilian volunteers defending the rural settlements around Grahamstown. Life in the Fish River Bush: The narrative offers deep insight into early encounters, trade, and tension with the Xhosa people. His father, John Stubbs, engaged in trading beads and buttons for Xhosa ivory and cattle before being killed, forcing Thomas to learn the "secrets of life in the Fish River bush" at a young age.Historians consider Stubbs an engaging storyteller, though his writing is episodic and functions partly as an apologia pro vita sua (a defense of his own life and choices). Late in life, he spent 14 years petitioning the colonial government for financial compensation for health damages suffered during his military service. [1, 2]While providing a gritty, unvarnished look at frontier lifeâ"including drunken pranks on guard duty and clashes with British military elitesâ"the text also reflects the casual brutalities of the era. Modern reviews note that Stubbs glosses over or omits darker actions committed by his contemporaries, such as his brother-in-law's involvement in the mutilation of Xhosa King Hintsa. xvi, 302 p. : ill., fold. map ; 24 cm. #270926 (No dustjacket) Stubbs, Thomas, 1808-1877 South Africa -- Biography Elizabeth's Bookshops have been one of Australia's premier independent book dealers since 1973.
