		But at the same time he was studying botany with Johann von Schreber, who in turn had been a student of C. Linnaeus.
		In 1815, Martius, the zoologist Johann Baptist von Spix, and several other naturalists were selected to participate in this expedition.
		Spix worked assidulously and managed to publish extensively on the mammals, amphibians, reptiles, and birds of Brazil, but he died only six years after his return from the expedition, from illnesses contracted during his time in the Amazon.

	Johann Baptist von Spix - Wikipedia
		Johann Baptist Ritter von Spix schloss sich 1817 der österreichischen Brasilien-Expedition an, bereiste dann aber mit dem jüngeren Botaniker alleine Carl Friedrich Philipp von Martius bis 1820 von Rio de Janeiro das Innere Brasiliens bis Goiás und Rio São Francisco.
		Nach ihrer Rückkehr schrieb Spix das Werk "Reise nach Brasilien", das von Martius fortgesetzt wurde und zwischen 1823 und 1831 in drei Bänden erschien.
		Beispielsweise setzte Louis Agassiz die von Spix begonnene Klassifizierung der von ihm gefundenen Süßwasserfische Brasiliens fort und fand auf diese Weise zu einem seiner wichtigsten Forschungsgebiete, der Ichthyologie.

	The Spix's Macaw
		The bird, a Spix's macaw, is one of a kind, the sole member of its species left in the wild.
		The Spix's would sleep on the central pole of a facheiro cactus -the macaw equivalent of a gated condominium - then fly to meet the Illiger's, who lived in a hole in a tree trunk.
		They located a female Spix's in Recife, 400 miles away, who had spent seven years in captivity She was taken to Curaça, where the head biologist gave her a crash course in non-sedentary life, feeding her food from the wild and building up her wing muscles.

		Until shortly before this time he had paid no special attention to the study of ichthyology, which soon afterwards became the great occupation of his life, if not the one for which he is most remembered in the modern day.
		n 1819-1820, Johann Baptist von Spix and Carl Friedrich Philipp von Martius were engaged in an expedition to Brazil, and on their return to Europe, amongst other collections of natural objects they brought home an important set of the fresh water fishes of Brazil, and especially of the Amazon River.
		Spix, who died in 1826, did not live long enough to work out the history of these fishes, and Agassiz (though fresh out of school) was selected by Martius for this purpose.

	Single, lonely parrot seeks companionship - preservation of the Spix's macaw International Wildlife - Find Articles
		The men know well the habits of their anticipated visitor, the little blue, or Spix's, macaw, a species that has become as rare in the wild as a species can be, reduced to a lone male.
		Da Re is a field biologist who has joined a scientific effort to save the Spix's from extinction, in part by locating a captive female as a potential mate for the lone wild male.
		Not knowing that any Spix's survived in the wild, the new committee focused on breeding the handful of captive birds with the intention of creating a reservoir of macaws for release into the wild.

		It was Spix, who first classified the blue macaws under the species name of Anodorhynchus, which referred to the lack of a notch in the upper mandible.
		Aged nearly 40 when he returned, von Spix as he now was set to work to catalogue and publish his findings despite extremely poor health resulting from his sojourn in Brazil.
		The report on the expedition was published in three volumes in 1823, 1828 and 1831, the last two being prepared and published by von Martius as von Spix had died in Munich in 1826 aged 46.

		An attempt in 1995 to provide the male Spix with a female of his own species failed when she flew into an electrical wire and was killed.
		The Spix's mate, the Illiger, was not marked to differentiate her from other wild Illigers, so scientists do not know if she is still in the area.
