Chapter Ideas
Биолог: A collection of new chapter ideas proposed by foreign members in English. These are already present, thanks to JOrnitho: 1. Easter Island - bestiary 2. Fernando de Noronha - bestiary 3. Marvellous Forest - about Atlantic forest - bestiary 4. A Trip across Highland - about a trip of Andean antelope, bestiary 5. A War for the Hollow - about a "war" against killer bees in South America, bestiary 6. Andaman and Nicobar islands - bestiary 7. A Stone Condominimum - about a sociable hornero and its parasites and enemies, bestiary
JOrnitho: Биолог пишет: Cockroach idea is here: A City Under Bark It includes an ant, a mite, an opossum and a harvester (longleg), but is not full. Needs other species. Do you think that the Jurumi could appear? It's the arboreal anteater-like armadilo that I proposed sometime ago. It can feed in the ground too.
Биолог: JOrnitho Yes, thank you! I include it in the bestiary.
JOrnitho: Биолог I think that the Rapa Nui thrush, Heavy-billed parrot, the timid rail, dwarf junglefowl and the Rapa Nui rat could appear in the chapter about Easter Island. I proposed them sometime ago and their description is in the topic about Fauna of Pacific Islands.
Биолог: JOrnitho OK, I add them there. This will make 9 species of vertebrate animals and 4 species of plants. Quite a full chapter for a rather small island.
JOrnitho: Биолог пишет: OK, I add them there. This will make 9 species of vertebrate animals and 4 species of plants. Quite a full chapter for a rather small island. I see. Maybe we can remove one of the vertebrates? The dwarf junglefowl could be removed and I use this species to live somewhere else. In this case, I would edit the description to have the bird living in other islands.
Биолог: JOrnitho You do not have to remove or edit anything. I said it was quite full, not overfilled or overloaded Feel the difference of words
JOrnitho: Биолог пишет: You do not have to remove or edit anything. I said it was quite full, not overfilled or overloaded Feel the difference of words Oh, ok. I thought that you meant that the island was too full of animals for it size. Hahahaha
JOrnitho: I was thinking that the title of the chapter about the Atlantic forests could "Marvelous Forest" or "Marvelous Land". It would be an reference to how Rio de Janeiro is called "Cidade Maravilhosa" (Marvelous City).
Биолог: JOrnitho OK, good name.
Биолог: And here's the bestiary for the Andaman and Nicobar: Emperor junglefowl Dwarf chital Strong-jawed dog Andaman flying squirrel Indian hawk-eagle Katchall flying squirrel Striped coconut rat
Биолог: And one more chapter is started - A Stone Condominimum, about sociable hornero and its parasites and commensals: White-throated obrero Dwarf kestrel Godelo Boiuna Scabioid chewing-louse Southern guandira, or Southern dwarf leaf-nosed bat Jurupari
JOrnitho: I was thinking if we could start talking about the chapter about Easter Island. I think that it already had enough species.
Биолог: JOrnitho Quite so, but I am pretty busy currently, so I temporarily cannot take part actively. Sorry, JOrnitho.
лягушка: JOrnitho I want to write chapter about Andaman Islands using your idea, but there are emperor junglefowl in it. This bird dwells in Nicobaras, other archipelago that is away from Andaman in about 150 km. So, l can't use it in chapter. Do you agree?
Биолог: лягушка I would notice that dryland bridges could exist there during pre-neocene cataclysms. Later, the bridges disappeared, but the fauna is of common origin and thus quite related. This is how JOrnitho thought the events could have developed by neocene, and that's why he inluded all islands as a whole archipelago there.
медведь: Биолог JOrnitho I would notice that dryland bridges could exist there during pre-neocene cataclysms. As Биолог said, I thought that some dryland bridges could have formed between these islands. The glaciation in the transition between Quaternary and Neocene could have allowed it to happen. Did it happen in the Pleistocene? They are pretty far from the mainland. Could you show me a map of the seafloor there?
JOrnitho: лягушка As Биолог said, I thought that some dryland bridges could have formed between these islands. The glaciation in the transition between Quaternary and Neocene could have allowed it to happen.
лягушка: Bridges in time of glaciation or in true neocene (25 my)? Bear There one big shelf " tentacle" of the continent in bottom of Indian Ocean, but it's quite deep, so it didn't turned to peninsula in Pleistocene.
Биолог: лягушка Bridges in time of glaciation or in true neocene (25 my)? During pre-neocene cataclysms that occurred after holocene and resulted in human extinction. These also resulted in the Antilean bridge in the Caribbean, connecting to Cuba. Neocene does use such temporary bridges.
медведь: лягушка There one big shelf " tentacle" of the continent in bottom of Indian Ocean, but it's quite deep, so it didn't turned to peninsula in Pleistocene. Then I am not sure if this could happen in the Neocene either.
