Patagona chaski Williamson et al., 2024 (new species)
Tumblr media
(Illustration of the type specimen of Patagona chaski by Jillian Ditner, from Williamson et al., 2024)
Meaning of name: chaski = messenger [in Quechua, referring to relay runners of the former Inka Empire, who exhibited exceptional speed, endurance, and memory, similar to this bird species]
Suggested common name: Northern giant hummingbird
Age: Holocene (Meghalayan), extant
Where found: Arid and semiarid habitats along the west slope of the Andes and in intermontane valleys, at altitudes of 1800–4300 m above sea level
How much is known: At least 193 collected specimens are held in museum collections.
Notes: P. chaski is a hummingbird. Weighing between 16–26 g, it is the largest known hummingbird in the world. Until recently, it was considered the same species as the closely related P. gigas. However, a new study on the migratory habits, genetics, and morphology of these hummingbirds suggests that two distinct species should be recognized.
Whereas P. gigas breeds at low elevations and migrates northward to higher elevations, P. chaski remains at high elevations all year round. P. chaski can be found further north than P. gigas (hence the proposed common name "northern giant hummingbird"), but it overlaps with the non-breeding range of P. gigas in the southern parts of its range.
Genetic comparisons suggest that the two species diverged from one another over 2 million years ago, though they remain difficult to tell apart based on appearance. In addition to being slightly larger than P. gigas on average, P. chaski generally has a whitish (as opposed to brownish) throat and a more obvious white ring around the eye.
Reference: Williamson, J.L., E.F. Gyllenhaal, S.M. Bauernfeind, E. Bautista, M.J. Baumann, C.R. Gadek, P.P. Marra, N. Ricote, T. Valqui, F. Bozinovic, N.D. Singh, and C.C. Witt. 2024. Extreme elevational migration spurred cryptic speciation in giant hummingbirds. PNAS 121: e2313599121. doi: 10.1073/pnas.2313599121

(this is the mummified blackb.uck from a while back and I'm just. kind of baffled right now? and yes he *definitely* still has meaty bits in the nerve holes/inside the jawbones. joy!)
(he isn't missing teeth, I managed to pry a few out for more thorough cleaning and just plopped them in the bucket with everything else.)

*insert deer teeth joke here*

Dorm Pelt Wall
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Currently home for winter break but I dearly miss my pelt wall waiting for me back at my dorm.
A few pelts I would love to eventually add to my collection one day would be a timber wolf, pine marten, bobcat, mountain lion, river otter, Finn raccoon, fisher, wild arctic cross, reindeer (hide), wolverine, black back jackal, and golden jackal. Now is it likely I'll be able to acquire all these, hell no. But it's a wish list for a reason. Right now I am more focused on finding an affordable mountable pelt for a 1st attempt at taxidermy.
