Australia
Australia, officially the Commonwealth of Australia, is a country comprising the mainland of the Australian continent, the island of Tasmania, and numerous smaller islands.
Bird
Birds are a group of warm-blooded vertebrates constituting the class Aves, characterised by feathers, toothless beaked jaws, the laying of hard-shelled eggs, a high metabolic rate, a four-chambered heart, and a strong yet lightweight skeleton.
Black-throated whipbird
The black-throated whipbird (Psophodes nigrogularis) is a passerine bird found in several scattered populations in Southwest Australia.
See Psophodes and Black-throated whipbird
Chiming wedgebill
The chiming wedgebill (Psophodes occidentalis), sometimes referred to as chiming whipbird, is a species of bird in the family Psophodidae. Psophodes and chiming wedgebill are endemic birds of Australia.
See Psophodes and Chiming wedgebill
Chirruping wedgebill
The chirruping wedgebill (Psophodes cristatus) is a medium-sized member of the genus Psophodes, which consists or four to five songbirds endemic to Australia. Psophodes and chirruping wedgebill are endemic birds of Australia.
See Psophodes and Chirruping wedgebill
Cinclosomatidae
Cinclosomatidae is a family of passerine birds native to Australia and New Guinea.
See Psophodes and Cinclosomatidae
Climate change
In common usage, climate change describes global warming—the ongoing increase in global average temperature—and its effects on Earth's climate system.
See Psophodes and Climate change
Corvida
The "Corvida" were one of two "parvorders" contained within the suborder Passeri, as proposed in the Sibley-Ahlquist taxonomy, the other being Passerida.
Cyperaceae
The Cyperaceae are a family of graminoid (grass-like), monocotyledonous flowering plants known as sedges.
Deforestation
Deforestation or forest clearance is the removal and destruction of a forest or stand of trees from land that is then converted to non-forest use.
See Psophodes and Deforestation
DNA sequencing
DNA sequencing is the process of determining the nucleic acid sequence – the order of nucleotides in DNA.
See Psophodes and DNA sequencing
Eastern whipbird
The eastern whipbird (Psophodes olivaceus) is an insectivorous passerine bird native to the east coast of Australia. Psophodes and eastern whipbird are endemic birds of Australia.
See Psophodes and Eastern whipbird
Egg incubation
Egg incubation is the process by which an egg, of oviparous (egg-laying) animals, develops an embryo within the egg, after the egg's formation and ovipositional release.
See Psophodes and Egg incubation
Endemism
Endemism is the state of a species only being found in a single defined geographic location, such as an island, state, nation, country or other defined zone; organisms that are indigenous to a place are not endemic to it if they are also found elsewhere.
Fledge
Fledging is the stage in a flying animal's life between hatching or birth and becoming capable of flight.
Flora
Flora (floras or florae) is all the plant life present in a particular region or time, generally the naturally occurring (indigenous) native plants. The corresponding term for animals is fauna, and for fungi, it is funga.
Genus
Genus (genera) is a taxonomic rank above species and below family as used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms as well as viruses.
Geologic time scale
The geologic time scale or geological time scale (GTS) is a representation of time based on the rock record of Earth.
See Psophodes and Geologic time scale
Gondwana
Gondwana was a large landmass, sometimes referred to as a supercontinent.
Handbook of the Birds of the World
The Handbook of the Birds of the World (HBW) is a multi-volume series produced by the Spanish publishing house Lynx Edicions in partnership with BirdLife International.
See Psophodes and Handbook of the Birds of the World
Hexapoda
The subphylum Hexapoda (from Greek for 'six legs') or hexapods comprises the largest clade of arthropods and includes most of the extant arthropod species.
Jewel-babbler
The jewel-babblers are the bird genus Ptilorrhoa in the family Cinclosomatidae.
See Psophodes and Jewel-babbler
Melaleuca uncinata
Melaleuca uncinata, commonly known as broombush, broom honeymyrtle or brushwood, is a plant in the paperbark family native to southern Australia.
See Psophodes and Melaleuca uncinata
Monogamy
Monogamy is a relationship of two individuals in which they form an exclusive intimate partnership.
Nicholas Aylward Vigors
Nicholas Aylward Vigors (1785 – 26 October 1840) was an Irish zoologist and politician.
See Psophodes and Nicholas Aylward Vigors
Passerine
A passerine is any bird of the order Passeriformes (from Latin passer 'sparrow' and formis '-shaped') which includes more than half of all bird species.
Phylogenetics
In biology, phylogenetics is the study of the evolutionary history and relationships among or within groups of organisms.
See Psophodes and Phylogenetics
Pluvial
In geology and climatology, a pluvial is either a modern climate characterized by relatively high precipitation or an interval of time of variable length, decades to thousands of years, during which a climate is characterized by relatively high precipitation or humidity.
Polyphyly
A polyphyletic group is an assemblage that includes organisms with mixed evolutionary origin but does not include their most recent common ancestor.
Predation
Predation is a biological interaction where one organism, the predator, kills and eats another organism, its prey.
Psophodidae
Psophodidae is a family of passerine birds native to Australia and nearby areas.
Riparian zone
A riparian zone or riparian area is the interface between land and a river or stream.
See Psophodes and Riparian zone
Sclerophyll
Sclerophyll is a type of vegetation that is adapted to long periods of dryness and heat.
Songbird
A songbird is a bird belonging to the suborder Passeri of the perching birds (Passeriformes).
Spider
Spiders (order Araneae) are air-breathing arthropods that have eight limbs, chelicerae with fangs generally able to inject venom, and spinnerets that extrude silk.
Tarsus (skeleton)
In the human body, the tarsus (tarsi) is a cluster of seven articulating bones in each foot situated between the lower end of the tibia and the fibula of the lower leg and the metatarsus.
See Psophodes and Tarsus (skeleton)
Taxon
In biology, a taxon (back-formation from taxonomy;: taxa) is a group of one or more populations of an organism or organisms seen by taxonomists to form a unit.
Thomas Horsfield
Thomas Horsfield (May 12, 1773 – July 24, 1859) was an American physician and naturalist who worked extensively in Indonesia, describing numerous species of plants and animals from the region.
See Psophodes and Thomas Horsfield
Tibia
The tibia (tibiae or tibias), also known as the shinbone or shankbone, is the larger, stronger, and anterior (frontal) of the two bones in the leg below the knee in vertebrates (the other being the fibula, behind and to the outside of the tibia); it connects the knee with the ankle.
Western whipbird
Western whipbird may refer to the following bird species and subspecies.
See Psophodes and Western whipbird
White-bellied whipbird
The white-bellied whipbird (Psophodes leucogaster), also called the Mallee whipbird, is a species of bird in the family Psophodidae. Psophodes and white-bellied whipbird are endemic birds of Australia.
