Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. El libro Paraulatas de Venezuela recopila minuciosamente la informacion existente sobre las aves venezolanas de la familia Turdidae, basada en una extensa revision bibliografica, trabajo de campo y museologico, plasmada de manera que pueda ser utilizada por personas del ambito cientifico o el ciudadano comun. Explora todos los aspectos conocidos de cada paraulata, desde la raiz de su nombre latino, nombres vernaculares locales y foraneos, taxonomia, descripcion de sus distintos plumajes, los diferentes ambientes que ocupa y con cuales organismos se relaciona, su dieta, canto, nido, epoca reproductora y muda del plumaje, asi como sus parasitos y depredadores naturales conocidos, todo ello de manera de evaluar el conocimiento actual de cada una, mostrandonos asi los puntos debiles que deben orientar nuestros estudios y observaciones futuras. Cuenta ademas con 77 ilustraciones a todos color que incluyen los distintos plumajes de cada especie, discriminados por razas (subespecies), sexo (machos, hembras) y edad (juveniles, adultos, subadultos). Cada una cuenta ademas con un mapa de distribucion donde se muestra la geografia que ocupan a lo largo del territorio nacional, igualmente discriminado por subespecies, lo que ofrece una mejor perspectiva de su ubicacion en las distintas ecorregiones del pais. Asimismo, se da una escala de distribucion altitudinal que ayuda al lector a visualizar los rangos de altitud donde se encuentran, discriminada al N o S del Orinoco. The book "Paraulatas de Venezuela" (=Thrushes of Venezuela) exhaustively collects information about the Venezuelan birds in the Turdidae family, based on an extensive literature review, fieldwork and museum research, designed so it can be used by scientific or ordinary people. Also, it explores all known aspects of each thrush species, such as the etymology of its Latin name, vernacular names (local, foreigners), taxonomy, plumage description, and habitat, as well as its diet, singing, nest, breeding and molting season, even its parasites and natural predators, all in order to assess the current knowledge of each species, and thus showing the weak points that should guide our future studies and observations. The book also contains 77 full color illustrations, covering the plumage of each species and subspecies in addition to their differences in gender (male, female) and age (juvenile, adults, subadults). Besides, each Thrush species has a distribution map that shows its geography, also discriminated by subspecies, providing a better view of its location in the different eco-regions of the country. Also, an altitudinal chart helps the reader visualize the altitude ranges where each species inhabit. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The "Names of the Birds of Venezuela: Common, Scientific, Aboriginal" compiles the different names used on the Venezuelan bird species, both in everyday speech and in the scientific community. This book collects the historical information of the common names, in a way that allows the reader to visualize its changes over time. In many cases, geographical variations of those common names are included to improve our understanding about the name origins and their variations. In addition, this work provides the common names used for Venezuelan bird species in other languages within the continental and insular America (English, French, and Portuguese), a fundamental tool to establish their equivalences within the region. The book also compiles the bird names used by the 44 Venezuelan aboriginal groups, current and extinct, throughout the country history and across its geography. Wherever possible, brief explanations about the name meaning and influence ofover many of the ethnic groups involved are provided. This information is complemented with each bird scientific name, both at the species and subspecies levels, together with an explanation of its etymology and the bird characteristic that the scientific name intended to highlight (homology). In a broader sense, this book describes the etymologies that various authors have proposed for each scientific name in their search for the most appropriate one. This description of the names etymologies is firmly based on an exhaustive literary revision, which in many cases covers documents dating back to Ancient Greece to the present. This book also includes the changes in scientific names for each Venezuelan bird species since its description; changes that have been the result of continuous revisions in avian taxonomy. In those cases where a scientific name honors a person (eponymous) associated in some way with the history of Ornithology, a brief biography is provided. Finally, this book compiles many popular and road trip stories associated with the names given to birds in Venezuela. Altogether, this work constitutes an unprecedented effort to preserve the cultural and scientific heritage of Venezuela. This item is printed on demand.
