Barred Antshrike (Thamnophilus doliatus), family Thamnophilidae, order Passeriformes, Costa Rica

Antshrikes, antbirds, antwrens, and antpittas get their names from the practice of following columns of army ants. They prey on insects and other small animals which flee the or escape the ants.

Sakesphoroides niedeguidonae Cerqueira et al., 2024 (new species)

(Illustration of male [back] and female [front] individuals of Sakesphoroides niedeguidonae by Eduardo Brettas, from Cerqueira et al., 2024)

Meaning of name: niedeguidonae = for Niède Guidon [Brazilian archaeologist]

Suggested common name: Northern silvery-cheeked antshrike

Age: Holocene (Meghalayan), extant

Where found: Dry forest and scrub in northeastern Brazil, mostly on the northern/western bank of the São Francisco River

How much is known: At least 83 collected specimens are held in museum collections.

Notes: S. niedeguidonae is an antbird, a diverse group of small birds from the American tropics. Antbirds are so named because some species follow army ants to feed on small animals fleeing from the ant swarms, though this behavior has not been observed in the genus Sakesphoroides.

Sakesphoroides is found solely in the dry forest and shrubland (Caatinga) of northeastern Brazil. Only one species in this genus had previously been recognized, S. cristatus. However, a new study argues that the northern and southern populations of Sakesphoroides should be classified as distinct species based on genetic, vocal, and anatomical differences. The southern populations keep the name S. cristatus and are given the suggested common name of southern silvery-cheeked antshrike, whereas the northern populations are described as a new species, S. niedeguidonae.

Males of the two species are difficult to tell apart. Among females, however, S. niedeguidonae differs from S. cristatus in having more strongly barred tail feathers, a lighter brown crest on the head, and an olive brown (instead of cinnamon brown) back.

Seasonally dry tropical forests such as the Caatinga have traditionally been thought of as having low biodiversity and few unique species compared to tropical rainforests, but recent discoveries such as S. niedeguidonae have shown that much of dry forest biodiversity has likely been historically overlooked.

8K Ultra HD: The Pinnacle of Visual Clarity

As the world of technology constantly evolves, the realm of display resolutions has reached new heights with 8K Ultra HD. Here's a deep dive into this visual marvel: Definition: 8K Ultra HD, with a resolution of 7680 × 4320 pixels, offers a staggering four times the number of pixels as 4K (3840 × 2160) and sixteen times the resolution of Full HD (1920 x 1080). Benefits: - Unparalleled Detail: 8K resolution captures intricate details that can be discerned even when viewed up close on massive screens. - Enhanced Depth: The richness of pixels in 8K translates to more depth and three-dimensionality, making visuals pop out. - Improved Color Accuracy: With the additional data in each frame, there's a broader range of colors and greater color accuracy. - Post-Production Flexibility: For videographers, having 8K footage means more flexibility during editing, such as cropping, zooming, and stabilizing videos without sacrificing quality. Hardware Considerations: - Display Size: To fully appreciate 8K, one would typically need a larger screen (65 inches or above). - High-speed Connections: Streaming or playing 8K content requires robust data handling. HDMI 2.1, for instance, supports 8K video at 60fps. - Storage: 8K videos, particularly those at higher frame rates, can be massive in size, necessitating considerable storage capacity. Content Availability: As of recent years, 8K content has been somewhat limited. However, with the advent of 8K cameras and TVs, more content creators are adopting this resolution, making it more accessible to the general audience. Future of 8K: With the proliferation of technology, 8K will likely become more standard, especially for larger displays and professional setups. As bandwidth improves and storage becomes cheaper, 8K could soon be as commonplace as 4K has become today. In conclusion, 8K Ultra HD is not just a step but a leap forward in the world of visual display technology, promising a viewing experience that is nothing short of mesmerizing. Whether for professional use or personal entertainment, 8K is the epitome of what the future holds. Read the full article

🐜🐜🐜 ANT WORLD 🐜🐜🐜

For each of these ant-names there are usually multiple genera. Nearly all of these birds are from Central and South America (except for some exceptions at the end...) Note that sharing an English common name doesn't guarantee a close taxonomic relationship!

1. Antwren (61 spp, Thamnophilidae)
