About: Nannopterum

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Nannopterum is a genus of cormorant comprising three species. They are found throughout the Americas, hence the common name American cormorants. These species were formerly classified in the genus Phalacrocorax. A molecular phylogenetic study of the cormorants published in 2014 found that these three species formed a clade that was sister to the genus Leucocarbo. To create monophyletic genera, the three species were moved the resurrected genus Nannopterum that had been introduced in 1899 by English ornithologist Richard Bowdler Sharpe to accommodate the flightless cormorant. The genus Nannopterum is thought to have split from Leucocarbo between 6.7 - 8.0 million years ago.

  • Nannopterum es un clado de aves acuáticas suliformes de la familia de los falacrocorácidos, al cual algunos le otorgan nivel genérico. Incluye 3 especies de cormoranes habitantes del continente americano, tanto en aguas dulces como marinas, así como en islas relacionadas con este. (es)
  • Nannopterum is a genus of cormorant comprising three species. They are found throughout the Americas, hence the common name American cormorants. These species were formerly classified in the genus Phalacrocorax. A molecular phylogenetic study of the cormorants published in 2014 found that these three species formed a clade that was sister to the genus Leucocarbo. To create monophyletic genera, the three species were moved the resurrected genus Nannopterum that had been introduced in 1899 by English ornithologist Richard Bowdler Sharpe to accommodate the flightless cormorant. The genus Nannopterum is thought to have split from Leucocarbo between 6.7 - 8.0 million years ago. The genus name Nannopterum combines the Ancient Greek nannos meaning "dwarf" with pteron meaning "wing". This name was coined for the flightless cormorant, which does indeed have small wings. Genetic studies have found that the neotropic and double-crested cormorants form a clade with the flightless cormorant, and they are thus placed together in the genus Nannopterum despite both species having normal-sized wings and full flight capabilities.

  • Nannopterum is een geslacht van vogels uit de familie van de aalscholvers (Phalacrocoracidae). De wetenschappelijke naam van het geslacht is voor het eerst geldig gepubliceerd in 1899 door Richard Bowdler Sharpe. Dit geslacht is op grond van moleculair genetisch onderzoek afgesplitst van het geslacht Phalacrocorax. (nl)

  • Nannopterum är ett fågelsläkte i familjen skarvar inom ordningen sulfåglar. Ursprungligen beskrevs det enbart för den morfologiskt avvikande och flygoförmögna galápagosskarven, men denna inkluderades sedan i Phalacrocorax. Efter genetiska studier som visar på relativt gamla klader inom Phalacrocorax delas detta släkte allt oftare upp i flera. Nannopterum har då återväckts, men då expanderats till att omfatta fler arter. I dagsläget ingår följande tre arter i släktet, alla förekommande i Amerika: * Galápagosskarv (Nannopterum harrisi) * Amazonskarv (Nannopterum brasilianum) * Öronskarv (Nannopterum auritum) (sv)
