From his arrival in the roads of Batavia on the north coast of Java in January of 1779, Brandes stayed ministering to the people and recording the details of his life, and those around him in an extensive series of drawings now in the Rijksmuseum, many of them acquired as part of the same lot at auction in 1985 at which Arader Galleries.
Sampling stations grouped by Cluster classification (structural-functional groups) from the first three axes of all the PCAs performed. Also shown are the Indicator Species for each group (from IndVal analyses), the season when the indicator value is statistically significant and the influential environmental gradients (PCs) for each species.
Welcome to Birds of India, an internet-based and peer-reviewed resource devoted to Indian birds. India has spectacular birds, which have been studied intensively over the past hundred and fifty years. Yet, dedicated and scholarly web resources with detailed species pages on Indian birds have been scarce. This website offers the Indian birder.
In the 10th edition of Systema Naturae published in 1758, the Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus described 554 species of bird and gave each a binomial name.

Pellornis mikkelseni is an early gruiform from the latest Paleocene-earliest Eocene Fur Formation of Denmark. At approximately 54 million years old, it is among the earliest clear records of the Gruiformes. The holotype specimen, and only material thus far recognised, was originally considered to comprise a partial postcranial skeleton. However, additional mechanical preparation of the nodule.
The life of Marine animals lies in the hands of scientist who try to study and protect them. From the early years of human life, marine animals have taken a part in the lives of humans as a source of food and everyday uses, but as the years have progressed and humans got curious we have started to.
