	Lapwing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lapwings are medium-sized wading birds belonging to the subfamily Vanellinae of the family Charadriidae, which also includes the plovers and dotterels.
		The traditional terms plover, lapwing, and dotterel were coined long before modern understandings of the relationships between different groups of birds emerged: in consequence, several of the lapwings (subfamily Vanellinae) are still called "plovers", and the reverse also applies.
		While authorities are generally agreed that there about 24 species of lapwing, classifications within the subfamily remain confused.

	Notes on Hatching and Growth of the Southern Lapwing in Chile
		Four eggs are laid and both sexes share in the incubation.
		In the Vanellinae, the incubation period varies from 20 to 30 days depending, in part, on the size of the bird (O. Austin, Jr., Birds o/ the world, New York, Golden Press, 1961; see p.
		The Lapwing, Vanellus vanellus, of Eurasia, which is similar in size to the Southern Lapwing, needs 24 days for hatching its eggs (E. Gilliard, Living birds o/ the world, New York, Doubleday & Co., 1958; see p.

	Phthiraptera Infestation of Five Shorebird Species (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Relationships between host and parasite phylogenies are well documented, especially in the highly host-specific chewing lice and their bird hosts (Rothschild and Clay 1957, Marshall 1981).
		Clay (1962) noted that species within the subfamilies (Vanellinae and Charadriinae) of Charadriidae exhibited greater similarities in chewing lice (Actornithophilus) compared with species from different subfamilies.
		Interspecific (host) differences in louse communities have been studied in other charadriiforms as well.
