   Extractions: Ornithology is a zoological science that studies those creatures belonging to the Class Aves, much better known as birds. Birds, the only vertebrates that have feathers, are generally divided into two major groups. Ostriches, Emus, Dodos and Kiwis are ratites, birds that lack that conspicuous keel-like extension on the breast bone and lack the ability to fly. The vast majority of the birds, however, are non-ratites and possess the keel to which the powerful muscles that power the wings are attached. All-in-all, there are over 9200 extant species of birds divided into 30 orders and 174 families. Their ability to fly has allowed them to colonize every land mass on earth including the Arctic and Antarctic and some, like the Penguins, have adapted an aquatic lifestyle coming to shore only to breed and raise young. Fossil evidence of the ancestors of modern birds indicates that they were contemporaneous with dinosaurs. Indeed, evidence is mounting that these feathered creatures are in fact the highly evolved living incarnation of the terrible lizards. This long evolutionary history has allowed for the development of the many unique morphological, physical and behavioral attributes in birds that make the science of ornithology such an interesting vocation.

4. Ornithology: General References
   Literature references to a study of Dunlin migration and wintering in the Sound area, S. Sweden  
   http://home.swipnet.se/~w-48087/faglar/materialmapp/linksmapp/ref.html
   
   Extractions: The average speed of autumn migration in Bluethroats was estimated using two different methods: calculations on ringing recoveries and comparisons of median arrival dates at several stop-over sites. Estimates revealed by these two methods were similar, indicating that temporal data from stop-over sites can reliably monitor the timing of migration. Females arrived before males at stop-over sites in Scandinavia (in juveniles mean difference 3 days, in adults 0.9 days), but estimates of migration speed were similar between sexes. The migration speed in juveniles was estimated to be 30 - 40 km per day for migration in Sweden, and to be 40 - 65 km per day for migration to Finland. Adult birds migrated significantly faster than juveniles during the first part of the autumn migration (100 - 110 km per day). It is suggested that the age differences in migration speed within Scandinavia may be due to differences in fat accumulation and stop-over times between the age classes. Possibly, simultaneous migration and completion of the post-juvenile moult also has a negative effect on the migration speed in juveniles. The migration speed in juveniles increased as the autumn progressed, approaching average values of 100 km per day for migration in southwestern Asia. There are no data available that can explain this situation, although factors such as the rate of fat accumulation at differentstop-over sites along the migration route, experience and selection are discussed.

12. Ornithological Worldwide Literature
    OWL is a compilation of citations and abstracts from worldwide publications concerning the science of ornithology.  
    http://www.birdlit.org/OWL/
    
    Extractions: Instructions for Contributors OWL is a compilation of citations and abstracts from the worldwide scientific literature that pertain to the science of ornithology. A major attraction is its coverage of the 'grey' literature, which are not abstracted by commercial databases such as Zoological Record or the Science Citation Index. OWL deals chiefly with serial publications such as periodicals but also announces new and renamed journals and provides abstracts of other serial publications, conference proceedings, reports, and doctoral dissertations. Papers dealing exclusively with domestic and pet birds and their husbandry are excluded unless they are applicable to non-domestic birds. OWL was previously known as the Recent Ornithological Literature (ROL) or as Recent Ornithological Literature Online (ROLO). The scope of OWL will be more than just the "recent" literature of ornithology. Eventually, the online database will go back 50 or more years to acquire citations to the serial literature. OWL will proceed well into this century with a database of the current worldwide literature that would be of interest to ornithologists. OWL is a joint effort between the American Ornithologists' Union and the British Ornithologists' Union and

The ROL deals chiefly with periodicals, but also announces new and renamed journals and provides abstracts of conference proceedings, reports, doctoral dissertations, and other serial publications. The entries are prepared by scientists who voluntarily scan journals for ornithological articles, generally according to their geographic region and special scientific interests. Papers dealing exclusively with domestic birds and their husbandry are excluded, unless applicable to non-domestic species. The Recent Ornithological Literature ROL ) was published for many years as a printed supplement to The Auk The Emu , or The Ibis In 1998, the societies that publish those journals, the American Ornithologists’ Union , the British Ornithologists’ Union , and Birds Australia (formerly the Royal Australasian Ornithologists’ Union), decided to discontinue the printed version and to switch to an online version instead.
