Genera

The Scolopacidae are a large family of waders, (known as shorebirds in North America). The Dunlin, Calidris alpina, is a small Wader, sometimes separated with the other " Stints quot in Erolia. Chordates ( Phylum Chordata) are a group of Animals that includes the Vertebrates together with several closely related Invertebrates Birds ( class Aves) are bipedal endothermic ( Warm-blooded) Vertebrate animals that lay eggs. Modern birds (subclass Neornithes) are the members of class Aves that have survived into recent times and have coexisted with Humans Modern birds are Neognaths ( Neognathae) are Birds within the Subclass Neornithes of the class Aves. Charadriiformes is a diverse order of small to medium-large Birds It includes about 350 Species and has members in all parts of the world Nicholas Aylward Vigors (1785 &ndash October 26, 1840) was an Irish Zoologist and Politician. Year 1825 ( MDCCCXXV) was a Common year starting on Saturday (link will display the full calendar of the Gregorian Calendar (or a Common A genus (plural genera from Γένος Latin genus "descent family type gender" is a low-level Taxonomic Actitis is a small Genus of Waders comprising just two very similar Bird Species: Common Sandpiper, The Surfbird is a small stocky Wader in the family Scolopacidae Turnstones are the bird Species in the Genus Arenaria in the family Scolopacidae. The Upland Sandpiper, Bartramia longicauda, is a large Shorebird, closely related to the Curlews (Thomas 2004 The calidrids or typical waders are a group of Arctic -breeding strongly migratory wading Birds These birds form huge mixed flocks The Willet, Tringa semipalmata (formerly in the Monotypic Genus Catoptrophorus, as Catoptrophorus semipalmatus Coenocorypha is a Genus of tiny Birds also known as the New Zealand snipes, which are found in the Outlying Islands of New Zealand The tattlers are the two very similar Bird Species in the Shorebird Genus Tringa. The Spoon-billed Sandpiper (or Spoonbill Sandpiper) Eurynorhynchus pygmeus, is a small Wader which breeds in northeastern Russia Gallinago is a genus of Birds in the Wader family Scolopacidae. The Broad-billed Sandpiper, Limicola falcinellus, is a small wading Bird. The three dowitchers are medium-sized long-billed wading Birds They resemble Godwits in body and bill shape and the reddish underparts in summer but are The godwits are a group of large long-billed long-legged and strongly migratory wading Birds of the Genus Limosa. The Jack Snipe, Lymnocryptes minimus is a small stocky Wader. For alternative meanings of Numenius see Numenius (disambiguation. A phalarope is any of three living Species of slender-necked shorebirds in the genus Phalaropus of the Bird family Scolopacidae The Ruff ( Philomachus pugnax) is a medium-sized Wader. It is usually considered the only member of its Genus Philomachus, but more recent research The two to four species of Polynesian sandpipers, the only members of the genus Prosobonia, are small wading Birds confined to remote The woodcocks are a group of seven extant very similar wading Bird Species in the Genus Scolopax, characterised by a long slender "Shanks" redirects here For other meanings see Shanks (disambiguation and Shank. The Buff-breasted Sandpiper, Tryngites subruficollis, is a small shorebird. The Terek Sandpiper ( Xenus cinereus) is a small Wader and the only member of the genus Xenus. Waders, called shorebirds in North America (where "wader" is used to refer to long-legged wading Birds such as Storks and Many of the smaller species are often called "sandpipers", especially members of genera Calidris, Tringa and Actitis. Other well-known groups include curlews and snipes. The majority of species eat small invertebrates picked out of the mud or soil. An invertebrate is an Animal lacking a Vertebral column. The group includes 98% of all animal Species — all animals except those in the Chordate Different lengths of bills enable different species to feed in the same habitat, particularly on the coast, without direct competition for food. Anatomy Stegosaurus --> Beaks can vary significantly in size and shape from species to species

This large family is often further subdivided into groups of similar birds. These groups do not necessarily consist of a single genus, but as presented here they do form distinct monophyletic evolutionary lineages[1]. A clade is a taxonomic group comprising a single Common ancestor and all the descendants of that ancestor eVolution is the third Album by eLDee, it was due to be released in 2008 The groups, with species numbers in parentheses, are:

Genus Numenius (8 species, of which 1-2 recently extinct)
Genus Bartramia (monotypic)
Genus Limosa (4 species)
Genus Limnodromus (3 species)
Genera Coenocorypha, Lymnocryptes, Gallinago and Scolopax (nearly 30 species, plus some 6 extinct)
Genus Phalaropus (3 species)
Genera Xenus, Actitis, and Tringa which now includes Catoptrophorus and Heteroscelus (16 species)
Genus Prosobonia (1 extant species, 3-5 extinct)
Roughly 25 species, mostly in Calidris which might be split up into several genera. For alternative meanings of Numenius see Numenius (disambiguation. In Biology and Ecology, extinction is the cessation of existence of a Species or group of taxa. The Upland Sandpiper, Bartramia longicauda, is a large Shorebird, closely related to the Curlews (Thomas 2004 Monotypic is an adjective that refers to a taxonomic group with only one type: In Botany, "monotypic" means that a Taxon has only The godwits are a group of large long-billed long-legged and strongly migratory wading Birds of the Genus Limosa.

Other genera currently accepted are Aphriza, Eurynorhynchus, Limicola, Tryngites, and Philomachus, in addition to the 2 Arenaria turnstones.

Bristle-thighed Curlew (Numenius tahitiensis, right) and Ruddy Turnstones (Arenaria interpres)

Common Snipe (Gallinago gallinago)

Greenshank (Tringa nebularia)

Preening male Ruff (Philomachus pugnax)

The early fossil record is very bad for a group that was probably present at the non-avian dinosaur's extinction. The Bristle-thighed Curlew, Numenius tahitiensis, is a large shorebird that breeds in Alaska and winters on tropical Pacific islands The Ruddy Turnstone ( Arenaria interpres) is a small wading Bird, one of two species of Turnstone in the genus Arenaria. The Common Snipe or Fantail Snipe ( Gallinago gallinago) is a small stocky shorebird. The Greenshank Tringa nebularia is a Wader in the large family Scolopacidae the typical waders Personal grooming (also called titivating) is the art of cleaning grooming and maintaining parts of the body The Ruff ( Philomachus pugnax) is a medium-sized Wader. It is usually considered the only member of its Genus Philomachus, but more recent research FOSSIL is a standard protocol for allowing serial communication for Telecommunications programs under the DOS Operating system. "Totanus" teruelensis (Late Miocene of Los Mansuetos (Spain) is sometimes considered a scolopacid - maybe a shank - but may well be a larid; little is known of it. The Late Miocene (also known as Upper Miocene) is a sub-epoch of the Miocene Epoch made up of two stages. Spain () or the Kingdom of Spain (Reino de España is a country located mostly in southwestern Europe on the Iberian Peninsula. Gulls (often informally Seagulls) are birds in the family Laridae

Paractitis has been named from the Early Oligocene of Sasketchewan (Canada). The Rupelian (also known as Stampian, Tongrian, Latdorfian, Vicksburgian, or Early Oligocene) is the first of two stages Saskatchewan (səˈskætʃəwən) is a prairie province in Canada, which has an area of 588276 Country to "Dominion of Canada" or "Canadian Federation" or anything else please read the Talk Page Most living genera would seem to have evolved throughout the Oligocene to Miocene with the waders perhaps a bit later; see the genus accounts for the fossil record. The Oligocene is a geologic epoch of the Paleogene period and extends from about 33 The Miocene is a geological epoch of the Neogene period and extends from about 23 Waders, called shorebirds in North America (where "wader" is used to refer to long-legged wading Birds such as Storks and
