New bird species discovered in northern Colombia

From the page: A new bird for science has been discovered on Serran�a de los Yarigu�es range, beside the Cerulean Warbler Bird Reserve in Colombia. It has been named "Yarigu�es Brush-Finch", with the scientific name Atlapetes latinuchus yariguierum. It was described by an Anglo-Colombian team of biologists from Fundaci�n ProAves including Thomas Donegan and Blanca Huertas, following their leadership of the first biological exploration of the Yarigu�es mountains.

The new bird is named for the Yarigu�es indigenous people who formerly inhabited the mountain range where the bird was found. The new bird is a large and colorful finch with black, yellow and red plumage. It differs from its closest relatives in having a black back and no white markings in its wings. It is also found in other nearby mountains in Colombia's Eastern Andean range. Genetic, morphological and vocal studies have confirmed its identity as a new taxon.

Bird Moms Manipulate Birth Order To Protect Sons

From the page: When marauding mites turn up in a house finch's nest, she shelters her sons from the blood-suckers by laying male eggs later than those containing their sturdier sisters, according to new research.

Making sure the vulnerable baby boys are exposed to mites for a shorter period allows both the sons and the daughters to survive long enough to leave the nest.
