Complex plumages spur rapid color diversification in island kingfishers (Aves: Alcedinidae)

2022
Abstract Oceanic islands are cradles for diversity. Differences in predation pressures and lack of competition on islands are thought to drive both phenotypic and species diversification. While most work exploring these patterns has focused on life history, behavioral and morphological traits, many island species are uniquely colorful ...

Redescription of Alcedinectes alcyon (Acari: Hypoderatidae) from the Belted Kingfisher (Aves: Coraciiformes; Alcedinidae)

Journal of Medical Entomology, 1996
Alcedinectes alcyon (Boyd) is redescribed based on specimens collected from its belted kingfisher, Megaceryle alcyon (L.), type host in Florida. This species differs from A. cerylei Fain by the chaetotaxy of tarsus III. A. alcyon has a long stout apical seta that tapers to a curved tip resembling that seen on tarsus III of the genus Tytodectes ...

Some observations on the visual optics of kingfishers (Aves, Coraciformes, Alcedinidae)

Journal of Comparative Physiology A, 1987
We studied visual optics using ophthalmoscopy in six species of coraciform birds, five species from the family Alcedinidae (kingfishers) and one from the family Meropidae (bee-eaters). All six species had large angular separations between the two foveae of one eye (angle α); angle α was greater than 40° in all cases, the largest separation so far ...
