	Forest Raven
		The Forest Raven (Corvus tasmanicus) is a large Australian species that inhabits the island state of Tasmania.
		It has a proportionately larger bill than the mainland species and also a slightly shorter tail and is the sole representative of the genus Corvus in Tasmania.
		The suggestion that this form be given specific rank and be known as the Relict Raven (Corvus boreus) appears not to have gathered favour, and the Relict Raven remains classified as a subspecies, C.

	Crow - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As a group they show remarkable examples of intelligence; it would not be at all an exaggeration to characterize crows as being to birds what higher primates (including humans) are are to mammals.
		Crows, and especially ravens, often feature in legends or mythology as portents or harbingers of doom or death, because of their dark plumage, unnerving calls, and tendency to eat carrion.
		In mythology and folklore as a whole, crows tend to be symbolic more of the spiritual aspect of death, or the transition of the spirit into the afterlife, whereas ravens tend more often to be associated with the negative (physical) aspect of death.

		The Forest Raven (Corvus tasmanicus) is a large Australian species (50-52 cm in length) that inhabits the island state of Tasmania as well as other parts of south-eastern Australia.
		The Forest Raven inhabits a wide range of habitat within Tasmania such a woods, open interrupted forest, mountains, coastal areas, farmland and town and city fringes.
		A stick nest, very similar to the mainland Australian Raven and like it, built always high up in tall trees.

	Long Distance Dispersal
		As Raven (1979) noted, the distance from Australia to Madagascar is only about 2/3 (5,400 km) of that from Asia to Hawaii, and both source and target have existed for an extremely long time.
		Prevailing easterly winds and ocean currents in the Indian Ocean further increase the probability for LDD from Malesia to the western Indian Ocean (Renvoise 1979).
		From a phylogenetic standpoint, relict taxa constitute long basal branches critical for understanding both ingroup, and broader, higher level outgroup relationships.

		The common raven (Corvus corax) is found throughout nearly all of the northern hemisphere and everywhere within it appears to be morphologically uniform.
		If the California birds represent a relict population (of say the Ice Ages), there is some evidence—an intermingling of the two genetic groups among birds from Washington and Idaho—that they are rejoining the raven mainstream.

	BioMed Central \| Full text \| Richness of Colchic vegetation: comparison between refugia of south-western and East Asia
		Many taxa with disjunct area, especially relict woody plants, occur in these two geographical regions, indicating that a homogeneous forest vegetation covered large areas of the northern hemisphere during most of the Tertiary [5].
		After the ice sheet retreated some taxa were able to migrate and re-colonise large areas forming the modern vegetation, whereas some species (relicts) still remain within the old refugial area.
		Some studies have compared Southeast Asian and North American refugia with similar areas in the Caucasus to show that relicts are preserved there too [6,11].

	Hotspots Revisited
		The total number of plant species is greater than that for the central and northeastern United States and adjacent portions of Canada, an area almost 10 times as large (Raven and Axelrod 1978; Raven 1988; Davis et al.
		The region's impressive endemism is a mixture of outstanding relicts and newly derived species (Stebbins and Major 1965).
		Many of the relicts once had much larger ranges in the Tertiary, but during the cooling and drying trends that accompanied the ice age in North America, these species became restricted to the California region's relatively mild climate.

	Kettle Ecosystem Description
		At the other end of the landform size continuum, Kettle Ecosystems could be confused with Relict Glacial Lakebed Ecosystems, as they are, in fact, small relict glacial lakebeds.
		In this project, Relict Lakebed Ecosystem wetlands describe the extensive flat pro-glacial lakes or the vast flats created when Cook Inlet was dammed by ice (Karlstrom, 1964).
		The Relict Drainageway category describes long linear features that were occupied by large volumes of meltwater at the end of Wisconsin time, but now contain no channelized flow.

	Great Basin--Mojave Desert Region
		If extirpated, relict mammal populations that are isolated on montane islands probably could not recolonize under current climatic conditions.
		Endemics that are restricted to limestone are important in canyons east of Death Valley (Raven 1988).
		The flora and fauna of the northwestern portion of the Mojave Desert were isolated in a wet relict habitat during the last glaciation and consequently became an ecologically unique area (Hafner 1992).

		As a group they show remarkable examples of intelligence; it would not be at all an exaggeration to characterize crows as being to birds what higher primates (including humans) are to mammals.
		Crows have been noted to have some type of funeral, and Ravens often score very highly on intelligence tests.
		Crows, and especially ravens, often feature in legends or mythology as portents or harbingers or doom or death, because of their dark plumage, unnerving calls, and tendency to eat carrion, that causes them to circle above scenes of death such as battles.

		Relict stands of rain forest occur intermittently on steep south-facing slopes along the Chilean coast in the Mediterranean-type climate region (CPD Site SA44).
		Such monotypic genera, by in large, represent ancient relictual taxa that were more widely distributed over southern South America in the Tertiary and have survived in the cool and equable coastal climatic conditions present today.
		The high concentration of relict endemic genera in this rain forest is analogous to the many palaeoendemic genera on some islands (Axelrod, Arroyo and Raven 1991).

		The reintroduction of the deer and of the roe deer and the return of the wild boar gave the opportunity to rebuild, together with the great carnivores, the original food chains.
		Another rarity is represented by the Black Pine of Villetta Barrea (Pinus nigra), a relict species probably dating back to the Tertiary period; it is an exclusive variety of the Park which can be found in some areas of Camosciara and of Fondillo Valley.
		Among the spontaneous conifers there is the Swiss Mountain Pine (Pinus mugo), a glacial relict covering the vegetational strip between the beech tree wood and the high-mountain grassland, which can also be found mainly in the area of Camosciara.
