Corvid Tournament Corvus Bracket Round 2.1: Slender-Billed Crow vs Violet Crow

Slender-billed crow (corvus enca): This mid-sized bird is all black with a distinctive long, curved beak that gives it its name. It lives in various parts of southeast Asia including Brunei, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Peninsular Malaysia. Its diet is largely fish and shrimp. Its conservaiton status is “least concern."

Violet crow (corvus violaceus): The violet crow was considered a subspecies of the Slender-billed crow until 2017 when it was recognized as its own distinct species. It is an all-black bird with a bluish shine that gives it its name. It has a slightly shorter bill than most others in the genus corvus. It lives only on the island of Seram in Indonesia. Its conservation status is “least concern."

70) Corvus typicus; Wrona białoszyja, piping crow (wrona rurowa) - gatunek średniej wielkości ptaka z rodziny krukowatych (Corvidae). Występuje w Indonezji, nie jest zagrożony wyginięciem. Wrona białoszyja zamieszkuje środkowy i południowy Celebes oraz mniejsze wyspy Muna i Buton.

Gatunek po raz pierwszy opisał w 1853 roku francuski ornitolog Karol Lucjan Bonaparte, nadając mu nazwę Gazzola typica. Jako miejsce typowe Bonaparte podał błędnie Nową Kaledonię (fr. Nouvelle Calédonie); niemiecki ornitolog Erwin Stresemann w 1953 roku określił lokalizację holotypu na wyspę Buton. C. typicus czasami umieszczany był w nieuznawanym obecnie rodzaju Nesocorax. Blisko spokrewniony z wroną jednobarwną (C. unicolor), do której jest podobny w budowie; do niedawna uważano, że obydwa gatunki należą do „grupy C. enca”, ale różnią się od tego taksonu swoim zachowaniem i odgłosami. Gatunek monotypowy.

Nazwa rodzajowa: łac.corvus – kruk (w legendach kruk był początkowy biały, ale pomimo jego rzekomego daru proroctwa, został zamieniony w czarnego ptaka z powodu jego zdrady). Epitet gatunkowy: łac. typicus – typowy, typ, od gr. τυπικος tupikos – typowy, zgodny z typem, od τυπος tupos – typ.

W Czerwonej księdze gatunków zagrożonych Międzynarodowej Unii Ochrony Przyrody został zaliczony do kategorii LC (ang.Least Concern – najmniejszej troski). Globalna wielkość populacji nie jest znana, ale gatunek wydaje się być lokalnie umiarkowanie pospolity. Występuje w wielu obszarach chronionych, w tym rezerwatach leśnych i parkach narodowych. Populacja wydaje się być stabilna ze względu na brak dowodów na jakiekolwiek spadki populacji lub inne istotne zagrożenia.

True. This is also the only version of Scott that I like in literally anything. It’s Evo!Scott or nothing.

corvus-enca said: I grew up watching Evolution and I will always stand by it as one of the best superhero shows ever. I was in love with young Kurt

Kurt is extra wholesome in this show. Also his romance with Amanda is *chef kiss* beautiful

It’s been a while, hasn’t it? For those not in the know, this is like the second or third post on this blog. It’s been AGES since it was last updated. Recently @local-robotgirlthing asked for some robosona names, so I went through computing history & electronic components to pull out my favs :>

Enjoy!

Corvid Tournament Corvus Bracket Round 1.1.2: Palawan Crow vs Slender-Billed Crow

In preparing for round 2, I found that the corvidae Wikipedia page is outdated and the Slender-billed crow has recently (within the past 4 years or so) been separated into 4 species, only one of which was on the Wiki page. Instead of reworking the bracket entirely, I thought that since it’s an even number we can have little mini sub round with just these 4 species. These will only be up for a day so vote while you can!

Palawan crow (corvus pusillus): The Palawan crow was previously considered a sub-species of the Slender-billed crow, but it has since been identified as its own distinct species in 2020. They are all black birds with distinctive long, thin beaks. They live in the Philippines on Mindoro, Palawan, and the Calamian Islands. It does not have a listed conservation status.

Slender-billed crow (corvus enca): This mid-sized bird is all black with a distinctive long, curved beak that gives it its name. It lives in various parts of southeast Asia including Brunei, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Peninsular Malaysia. Its diet is largely fish and shrimp. Its conservaiton status is “least concern."

64) Corvus pusillus; Palawan crow (wrona z Palawan) - ptak wróblowy z rodziny Corvidae, z rodzaju Corvus. Wcześniej uznawano go za podgatunek wrony smukłodziobej (Corvus enca), ale dowody filogenetyczne wskazują, że oba są odrębnymi gatunkami i dlatego został podzielony przez Międzynarodową Unię Ornitologiczną. Występuje endemicznie na Filipinach, gdzie występuje na Mindoro, Palawanie i Wyspach Kalamijskich. Jego naturalnym siedliskiem są subtropikalne lub tropikalne wilgotne lasy nizinne oraz subtropikalne lub tropikalne lasy namorzynowe.
