I cite Wikipedia (2023/09/09) Synoicus is a genus of 4 species of Old World quail.[2] The species in the genus are distributed throughout sub-Saharan Africa, tropical Asia, and Australasia. Two of the four species in the genus were originally classified in Excalfactoria, one was classified in Anurophasis, and one was classified in Coturnix. Several phylogenetic studies found these species to all group together into a single genus, which was followed by the International Ornithological Congress in 2021 W.J.Daunicht
Actually, there is just one valid species in the genus Synoicus, which is the Brown Quail (Synoicus ypsilophorus) and the only five extant species in the genus Coturnix are now the Common Quail (Coturnix coturnix), the African Quail (Coturnix africana), the Western Mainland Asiatic Quail (Coturnix indica), the Eastern Mainland Asiatic Quail (Coturnix altaica), and the Japanese Quail (Coturnix japonica), this officially renders the genera Coturnix and Synoicus both as polyphyletic, the three species of chungchi being the asiatic chungchi, african chungchi, and oceanian chungchi all belong to the genus Excalfactoria, where their scientific names are now Excalfactoria chinensis, Excalfactoria adansonii, and Excalfactoria lepida respectively, the snow mountain quail belongs to the monotypic genus Anurophasis, where its scientific name is now Anurophasis monorthonyx, the currently living stubble quail and recently extinct new zealand quail both now constitute the genus Nesortyx, where their scientific names are now Nesortyx pectoralis and Nesortyx novaezelandiae respectively, and the two species of sonakebater being the rain sonakebater and harlequin sonakebater now belong to the genus Chrysortyx, where their scientific names are now Chrysortyx coromandelicus and Chrysortyx delegorguei respectively, as far as told, the brown quail of the monotypic genus Synoicus is more closely related to the stubble quail and new zealand quail of the genus Nesortyx than it is to the snow mountain quail, which is why the snow mountain quail is moved back to Anurophasis, with Coturnix being the sister genus to the Anurophasis + (Synoicus + Nesortyx) clade to the exclusion of the more primitive genera of old world quails being Ophrysia and Perdicula, additionally chungchis (genus Excalfactoria) and sonakebaters (genus Chrysortyx) are not true quails at all, all six genera of old world quails being Ophrysia (Himalayan Quail Lineage), Perdicula (Bush Quails), Coturnix (Bronze Quails), Anurophasis (Snow Mountain Quail Lineage), Synoicus (Brown Quail Lineage), and Nesortyx (New Zealand Quail and Stubble Quail) all constitute the subfamily Coturnicinae, which actually belongs to the family Perdicidae, whereas the genera Excalfactoria (Chungchis) and Chrysortyx (Sonakebaters) do not fall under this group, despite some superficial similarities such as black-and-white chin coloring, chungchis and sonakebaters are not closely related at all and also belong to two different families, chungchis (genus Excalfactoria) belong to the family Gallidae, which more closely relates them to the chickens (genus Gallus), shizurens (genus Bambusicola), francolins (subtribe Francolinina), spurfowl (tribe Galloperdicini), senlinaos (genus Sinortyx), ropohons (genus Sondaicornis), jinegus (genus Arboricola), daoiren (Oreoperdix crudigularis), peafowl (subtribe Pavonina), arguses (subtribe Argusianina), nartakees (genus Polyplectron), wajameras (genus Haematortyx), rohutans (subtribe Tropicoperdicina), snowcocks (genus Tetraogallus), alavorona (Margaroperdix madagascarensis), and shabalrimals (genus Ammoperdix), while sonakebaters (genus Chrysortyx) belong to the family Phasianidae, which more closely relates them to pheasants (subfamily Phasianinae), monals (genus Lophophorus), yejakuns (genus Tetraophasis), and tragopans (genus Tragopan), the superficial similarities between chungchis and sonakebaters are results of convergent evolution, the closest living relatives of the chungchis are actually the snowcocks, while the closest living relatives of the sonakebaters are actually the tragopans.
Thank you for your explanations. Would you please cite the scientific studies you refer to and the opinion of the International Ornithological Congress concerning these questions. I also suggest that you edit the article 'Synoicus' at en.wikipedia.org W.J.Daunicht
Die Ringeltauben haben wir heute bei uns auch. die sind wirklich friedlich und auch deren Rufe. Aber früher in den 70er/80er Jahren hatten wir Tauben bei uns,die echt lästig waren! Sie spazierten auf den Balkonen herum und im Sommer kamen sie sogar in die Wohnungen spaziert und sauber waren die auch nicht. Später bekam ich heraus,dass eine Nachbarin die heimlich auf dem Dachboden angefüttert hatte. Als die Frau 1985 wegzog,jagten wir die Tauben alle hinaus und machten den Dachboden zu. Heute sind da Wohnungen entstanden.
@@1962speiche Ah ja, die sind echt süss! 😍🕊😍 Ah, sie hat die süssen Tiere heimlich gefüttert? Sehr interessant. Waren es Stadttauben oder Ringeltauben?
@@michaelnagele3285 Das waren gewöhnliche Stadttauben,cirka 50 Stück,die immer in unserem Viertel kreisten. Die Hausverwaltung hat das spitzgekriegt und in allen Häusern ein absolutes Taubenfütterverbot ausgesprochen. Die Nachbarin hat natürlich Brot und keine Körner denen gegeben. Die Tauben sahen sehr schmuddelig aus. Heute würde die Frau von der Stadt eine Strafe von bis zu 5000 Euro aufgebrummt bekommen.
