	Columba (genus) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The large bird genus Columba comprises a group of medium to large stout-bodied pigeons, often referred to as the typical pigeons.
		The American species of Columba should be split off as a separate genus, Patagioenas, as it was done by the American Ornithological Union.
		A fossil species, Columba omnisanctorum, was described from the Neogene of the Gargano Peninsula, Italy.

	Stock Dove
		The Stock Dove (Columba oenas) is a member of the family Columbidae, Doves and Pigeons.
		The three western European Columba pigeons, though superficially alike, have very distinctive characters; the Wood Pigeon[?] may at once be told by the white on its neck and wing, but the Rock Dove and Stock Doves are more alike in size and plumage.
		The nest, though it is seldom that any nest material is used, is usually in a hole in a tree, a crack in a rock face, or in a rabbit burrow, but the bird also nests in ivy[?], or in the thick growth round the boles of limes.

	Columba Summary
		In 575 Columba was persuaded to visit Ireland to mediate a dispute between the high king and the league of poets.
		Saint Columba (7 December 521 - 9 June 597) is sometimes referred to as Columba of Iona, or, in Old Irish, as Saint Colm Cille or Columcille (meaning "Dove of the church").
		According to Adomnan, Columba came across a group of Picts who were burying a man killed by the monster, and saved a swimmer with the sign of the Cross and the imprecation "You will go no further", at which the beast fled terrified, to the amazement of the assembled Picts who glorified Columba's God.

		The Wood Pigeon (Columba palumbus) is a member of the family Columbidae, doves and pigeons.
		The three Western European Columba pigeons, Wood Pigeon, Stock Pigeon, and Rock Pigeon, though superficially alike, have very distinctive characteristics; the Wood Pigeon may be identified at once by its larger size at 38–43 cm, and the white on its neck and wing.

	White-headed Dove, or Pigeon
		It being detached from all other keys, furnished with rank herbaceous plants, cactuses, and low shrubs, and guarded by a thick hedge of mangroves, no place could be better adapted for breeding; and, at each visit we paid it, White-headed Pigeons were procured.
		The principal difference between Pigeons and Doves, as to their habits, is, according to my observation, that the former generally build their nests close together on the same trees, which the latter never do.
		In general the nest resembles that of the Columba migratoria, but it is more compact, and better lined.

		When the several genera into which Ridgway had divided the American pigeons were reunited with Columba, the name exsul was replaced with wetmorei (C. inornata wetmorei) (04).
		Perez-Rivera and Collazo reported the plain pigeon as being parasitized by larvae of a warble fly of the genus Neomusca (Philornis) (27).
		Although not studied in detail, competition for nesting areas with the red-necked pigeon (Columba squamosa) seems to be a problem (19,20,21).

	Patagioenas
		Among the differences between Streptopelia-OW Columba and NW "Columba" is a 166 bp deletion in the OW groups.
		This study builds on an earlier, broader, study in the Columbidae (Johnson and Clayton 2000) that had the same results relative to Columba, i.e., that the NW and OW taxa were not monophyletic.
		The DNA data, morphology, and behaviour all point in the same direction, I think that the polyphyly of Columba is a solid and correct conclusion.

		In biology, a genus (plural genera) is a grouping in the classification of living organisms having one or more related and morphologically similar species.
		In the common nomenclature, the name of an organism is composed of two parts: its genus (always capitalized) and a species modifier.

	Lecture: Life Classification, Dr. Rodrigue
		There are one or more species in a genus (e.g., our species, Homo sapiens, is the only current member of the Homo genus; the common street pigeon, Columba livia, is one of as many as 54 species in the Columba genus).
		Every other taxon (level in the Linnaean hierarchy) is kind of subjective, depending a lot on the judgment of taxonomists who specialize in one group or another of organisms.
		For example, the pigeon genus, Columba, variously includes 11-54 species, depending on whether a taxonomist is more of a splitter (more genera) or a lumper (put 'em all in the same box).

	Change English name of Columba livia
		This change would also agree with the general generic name for the genus Columba, which is "pigeon." This change would also agree with the common vernacular name for the species that is even used by ornithologists.
		There are wild populations of Columba livia in the United Kingdom, which is not the case in North (or South) America.
		Given that situation, Columba livia is scarcely "their" bird anymore than it is ours.

		On yet another owl matter, the genus for the Snowy Owl is changed from Nyctea to Bubo to reflect that the Snowy Owl is really an Arctic form of eagle-owl.
		And finally, owing to rules for agreement in gender of the genus and species in a scientific name, the specific name for Black-capped Chickadee becomes Poecile atricapilla (vs. the mistaken name atricapillus), and that for Boreal Chickadee becomes Poecile hudsonica (vs. hudsonicus).
		Finally, the Blue Grosbeak, long placed in its own genus, Guiraca, is recognized as being a rather large member of the bunting genus Passerina, thus grouping it taxonomically with the Lazuli Bunting, Indigo Bunting, and the four other species of Passerina.

		Listen,--for at such a moment your soul will be touched by sounds,--to the soft, the mellow, the melting accents, which one might suppose inspired by Nature's self, and which she has taught the Ground Dove to employ in conveying the expression of his love to his mate, who is listening to them with delight.
		Before I proceed to describe the habits of this interesting bird, allow me to present you with the result of my observations relative to the geographical distribution of the birds of the genus Columba, which are either resident in the United States or visit them annually.
		The Passenger Pigeon ranges over the whole of the United States, excepting perhaps the southernmost portions of the Floridas, and extends to Newfoundland, where it is well known.
