Topic: Strigiformes


In the News (Mon 6 Oct 08)

  
  Distinguishing taxonomic features (from owl) --  Encyclopædia Britannica
To determine relationships within the Strigiformes, taxonomists utilize the osteology of the skull and the sternum, relative specializations of the eye and ear, and the development of the facial disk.
The widespread Bantu languages—spoken by people in central, eastern, and southern Africa—have special prefixes for identifying types of nouns, and the Afro-Asiatic languages of North and northeastern Africa have prefixes on verbs that identify the subject of the verb.
Strigiformes is made up of two families of owls: the barn owls and the typical owls.

 Owl - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For uses of the word Owl as a three letter acronym, see OWL.
An owl is any of some 200+ species of solitary, mainly nocturnal birds of prey in the order Strigiformes.
Owls mostly hunt small mammals, insects, and other birds, though a few species specialize in hunting fish.

 Night-Flying Raptors-Owls (from bird of prey) --  Britannica Student Encyclopedia
There are not as many different kinds of night-flying raptors (in the order Strigiformes) as there are of day-flying birds of prey (in the order Falconiformes).
All such birds could be considered birds of prey, even a robin in pursuit of a worm.
However, the term “bird of prey”; is used more precisely for only those birds in either of two orders: Falconiformes and Strigiformes.

The strigiformes range in all the world, with the exception of Antarctic region; barn owl has one of vaster areals of all living birds.
In generally the prey is swallowed whole; indigestible parts, as bones, hairs and feathers, are pressed and regurgitated in solid masses colled stuffings.
Some strigiformes of this kind are known, as american horned owl (Otus asio), of North America, and the horned owl (Otus scops), of Eurasia; this last one is a very peregrin specie.

 Digimorph - Athene cunicularia (burrowing owl)
Two groups comprise Strigiformes (owls), the Tytonidae (barn and bay owls) and Strigidae (all other owls) (Randi et al., 1991).
This arrangement of evolutionary relationships is supported by a number of diagnostic characters that are observable in the skeleton and musculature of the hindlimb.
Other phylogenetic trees, however, show either a polyphyletic Strigiformes or a sister-group relationship between Strigiformes and Caprimulgiformes (see Sibley and Ahlquist, 1990; Bleiweiss et al., 1994; Johnsgard, 1998; Livezey and Zusi, 2001).

Raptators are a group of birds that include all the species of Falconiformes and Strigiformes.
Species of Strigiformes are nocturnal raptors, the soft feathers of the birds make them fly soundlessly.
The feeding habits of birds of Strigiformes and Falconiformes are very similar, whereas they separate their ecological niche by catching prey either during day or at night.

When in 1980 my book Birds of Prey of the World (Parey, Berlin) was printed, I had the idea for a similar project on the strigiformes of the world.
So I began to collect every bit of information about this subject - and, remember: the Internet wasn`t in reach for the common wildlife artist then.
In the early nineties I wrote three different annotated checklists about Strigiformes.
