Some 25 years ago a group of Chilean Flamingos (Phoenicopterus chilensis) appeared in the coastal wa- ters of The Netherlands, Germany, and Denmark. In subsequent years, the group was enlarged by some Greater Flamingos (P ruber roseus) and Caribbean Flamingos (P r. ruber) and also appeared in inland waters. This free-living flamingo group became very adaptive to these habitats. I reviewed literature on flamingo presence in Western Eu- rope, habitats and weather conditions in these areas, as well as summarized my own observations. The flamingos established an inland breeding colony and winter in the joint delta of the rivers Rhine, Meuse, and Scheldt. They developed a clear annual migratory pattern. Although salt and brackish waters are available, the flamingos prefer fresh water. Young flamingos are born almost annually, but it seems that numbers can only be kept stable (about 50) by the occasional addition of escapes.
大约25年前,一群智利火烈鸟(智利腓鸟)出现在荷兰、德国和丹麦的沿海地区。在随后的几年里,这个群体被一些大火烈鸟(P ruber roseus)和加勒比火烈鸟(P r. ruber)扩大,也出现在内陆水域。这种自由生活的火烈鸟群变得非常适应这些栖息地。我回顾了关于西欧火烈鸟存在的文献——这些地区的绳索、栖息地和天气条件,并总结了我自己的观察结果。火烈鸟在内陆建立了繁殖地,并在莱茵河、默兹河和斯海尔德河的联合三角洲过冬。它们形成了清晰的年度迁徙模式。虽然有咸水和微咸水,但火烈鸟更喜欢淡水。年轻的火烈鸟几乎每年都会出生,但似乎只有偶尔增加逃跑的数量才能保持稳定(大约50只)。

-Analysis of the morphology of 141 Antarctic Shags (Phalacrocorax bransfieldensis) breeding at Harmony Point (62017'S, 59014'W), South Shetland Islands, and 85 at Danco Coast (64009'S, 60057'W), Antarctic Peninsula, indicated that males are significantly heavier and larger than females. However, there are overlaps in the morphometric variables (mass, culmen, bill, tarsus and wing length, and bill depth and width) between sexes. Two discriminant functions correctly classified 97.8% and 97.6% of the males and females considered to generate them. When the validity of the discriminant functions was checked on other Antarctic Shags breeding at Harmony Point and at Danco Coast, the rate of correct classification remained high.

-Three flamingo species occur in the High Andes wetlands of Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, and Peru: James (Phoenicoparrusjamesi), Andean (P. andinus), and Chilean, (Phoenicopterus chilensis). During summer, the Vilama Lakes concentrate 30% of the James and Andean Flamingo populations of Argentina. These 9 lakes differ in size, depth, water composition, plankton, and submergent vegetation. We studied flamingo populations and wetlands of the Vilama Lakes region from 1995 through 1998. Species abundance was related to habitat variables. Shallow and highly saline lakes, rich in diatoms and cyanophytes but poor in zooplankton, concentrated the James Flamingo. Deep lakes with macrophytes and dense zooplankton provided habitat for the Chilean Flamingo and had more diverse waterbird communities than the shallow lakes. The Andean Flamingo occurred in almost every lake but in generally low numbers; however, it was more abundant in intermediate-character lakes and shallow lakes. Overall, shallow lakes sustained great numbers of flamingos, but changes in lake size did not explain abundance variations. The Vilama Lakes are complementary habitat patches for these species of flamingo, and for other vulnerable species (e.g., Horned Coot [Fulica cornuta]). This biological information contributed to the design of Vilama National Reserve (160,000 ha) with its 9 lakes under the management category of Natural Monument. The planned Vilama Reserve would contribute to a 3-nation reserve proposal formed by the present Eduardo Avaroa National Wildlife Reserve in Bolivia and Flamingos National Reserve in Chile, thus protecting the whole area of highest conservation value for Andean andJames Flamingos.

-Most Northern Hemisphere ducks form pairs on the wintering grounds, and timing of pairing varies considerably among species and populations. Hypotheses to explain variation in pairing chronology utilize sex-specific cost-benefit frameworks. These hypotheses have not been adequately tested, largely because of inadequate sample size of pairing chronologies, especially within the tribe Mergini. Wintering Common (Mergus merganser), Hooded (Lophodytes cucullatus), and Red-breasted mergansers (M. serratus) were observed at several sites in southwest British Columbia to determine pairing chronology. Courtship displays of Hooded Mergansers occurred significantly earlier than those of Red-breasted Mergansers. Hooded Mergansers began to pair in mid-November, Redbreasted Mergansers in early February, and Common Mergansers in late February. We tested the prediction that the largest species of ducks pair earliest. This could occur if females derive energetic benefits as a result of pairing, and females of larger species begin to accumulate endogenous nutrients earlier. It could also occur if pairing exerts an energetic cost on males, such that males of smaller species are more prone to winter mortality as a result of fluctuations in energy demand. The much earlier pairing of the smallest species (Hooded Mergansers) is inconsistent with either scenario. We suggest that between-species differences in pairing chronology may be better explained by the constraints imposed by sexual segregation during winter. Received 29 March 1999, accepted 29June 1999.

-Lesser Flamingos (Phoeniconaias minor) occur mainly in Africa where they breed on isolated and often inhospitable soda lakes in the Rift Valley (East Africa), and on old lake beds in southern Africa (Botswana and Namibia). Controversy surrounds 2 aspects of their ecology: (1) whether populations are stable or declining, and (2) whether East African and southern African populations are genetically isolated. Here I review evidence showing that declines may be as high as 21% over 2 decades for African populations (5.10 million to 3.99 million present day), and 27% for southern African populations (55,000-40,000 birds in 20 years). Similarity in these declines, based on different sources of evidence, suggest the declines are real and not artifacts. Evidence for disjunct populations in East and southern Africa was based on (1) a presumed energetic inability to fly the 2,200 km from Natron (Tanzania) to Sua Pan (Botswana), (2) no evidence of birds landing in areas midway between the 2 areas, and (3) no evidence for birds flying north (or south). However, because resident southern African populations never exceed 55,000 birds, the 1 million birds reliably estimated from Etosha (Namibia) in 1971, and the 1.7 million birds reported from Sua Pan in 1974, show that birds must have come from elsewhere. Simultaneous declines in East African populations suggest an exodus from the Rift Valley. Research has also shown that flamingos deposit fat as do other migratory birds, allowing them to cover the distance nonstop. Night flights and alternative coastal routes through Mozambique would reduce the likelihood that birds would be seen migrating. Finally, an influx of thousands of young Lesser Flamingos into Kenya-Tanzania was reported in April-May 1997, when no breeding was known. At that time thousands of birds had been breeding on Sua Pan. The evidence, therefore, suggests both a population decline and constant movement between the 2 main breeding areas in East and southern Africa. DISMINUCIONES EN LA POBLACION Y MOVIMIENTOS DEL FLAMENCO MENOR EN AFRICA Resumen.-El flamenco menor (Phoeniconaias minor) ocurre mayormente en Africa donde se reproduce en lagunas saladas aisladas y frecuentemente inh6spitas el Valle del Rift (Africa oriental), y en las cuencas secas de las lagunas en la parte sur de Africa (Botswana y Namibia).

小火烈鸟(Phoeniconaias minor)主要出现在非洲,它们在东非大裂谷(Rift Valley)孤立的、通常不适合居住的苏打湖上繁殖,以及在非洲南部(博茨瓦纳和纳米比亚)的旧湖床上繁殖。它们的生态学有两个方面存在争议:(1)种群数量是稳定的还是下降的;(2)东非和南部非洲种群是否存在遗传隔离。在这里,我回顾了一些证据,这些证据表明,非洲种群的数量在20年内可能下降高达21%(目前为510万至399万),南部非洲种群的数量下降27%(20年内为55,000-40,000只)。基于不同来源的证据,这些下降的相似性表明,这种下降是真实的,而不是人为的。东非和南部非洲种群分离的证据是基于(1)假设它们没有能力飞行2200公里从坦桑尼亚的Natron到博茨瓦纳的Sua Pan,(2)没有证据表明鸟类降落在这两个地区中间的地区,(3)没有证据表明鸟类向北(或向南)飞行。然而,由于南部非洲的常住鸟类数量从未超过55,000只,1971年在纳米比亚埃托沙(Etosha)可靠地估计了100万只,1974年在苏亚潘(Sua Pan)报告了170万只,这表明鸟类一定来自其他地方。东非人口同时减少,这表明东非大裂谷地区出现了人口外流。研究还表明,火烈鸟会像其他候鸟一样储存脂肪,使它们能够不间断地飞行。夜间飞行和通过莫桑比克的其他沿海航线将减少看到鸟类迁徙的可能性。最后,据报道,1997年4月至5月,成千上万的小火烈鸟涌入肯尼亚-坦桑尼亚,当时还没有繁殖。那时,成千上万只鸟在苏盘岛上繁殖。因此,证据表明,在非洲东部和南部的两个主要繁殖区之间,数量下降和不断移动。在弗拉门戈运动的影响下,在非洲的差距再次扩大。-小弗拉门戈(Phoeniconaias minor)产于非洲,在非洲东部的裂谷(Valle del Rift),在非洲南部的博茨瓦纳和纳米比亚(parte sur de Africa)。3个方面的研究结果:(1)建立了6个种群的种群分布;(2)建立了6个种群的种群分布;Aqui哟hago una resefia de la evidencia, demuestra disminuciones, lo庄严的de 20 afios, 21%乙醇的ser tan阿特拉斯科莫对位las poblaciones africana (de 5.1一3.99米隆目前),y 27%对位poblaciones de la杰克逊苏尔德非洲(de 55.000一40.000 individuos en 20 afios)。在不同的证据基础上,不同的证据表明,不同的证据是不同的,不同的证据是不同的。1 .在纳特隆(坦桑尼亚)和苏亚纳(博茨瓦纳)2 200公里处的火山能源缺乏推定;2.在两个区域内的弗拉门戈火山观测站缺乏推定;3 .在北部的弗拉门戈火山观测站不存在(南)。在禁运期间,非洲其他地区的居民有55 000人失业,1971年在埃托沙(纳米比亚)有1 600万人失业,1974年在苏潘有170万人失业。与此同时,非洲东部地区也出现了类似的现象,比如在德尔谷裂谷地区。在当地的调查中,我们发现了一种新的方法,即在距离上与其他地方的人保持距离。在莫桑比克的其他地区,由于缺乏可替代的气候条件,减少了观测到的持续迁徙的可能性。最后,我们于1997年5月1日在肯尼亚和坦桑尼亚登记了《弗拉门戈少年登记法》,这是一项关于在肯尼亚和坦桑尼亚境内进行大规模繁殖的法律。在中国的时刻,弗拉门戈的脚步,在苏亚潘的脚步。“证据证明”是指在非洲南部的“生殖原则地区”和“生殖原则地区”的持续运动中,在非洲南部的“生殖原则地区”和“生殖原则地区”的持续运动的可能性。
