A collection of new chapter ideas proposed by foreign members in English.
These are already present, thanks to JOrnitho:
1. Easter Island - bestiary
2. Fernando de Noronha - bestiary
3. Marvellous Forest - about Atlantic forest - bestiary
4. A Trip across Highland - about a trip of Andean antelope, bestiary
5. A War for the Hollow - about a "war" against killer bees in South America, bestiary
6. Andaman and Nicobar islands - bestiary
7. A Stone Condominimum - about a sociable hornero and its parasites and enemies, bestiary

Cockroach idea is here: A City Under Bark It includes an ant, a mite, an opossum and a harvester (longleg), but is not full. Needs other species.

Do you think that the Jurumi could appear? It's the arboreal anteater-like armadilo that I proposed sometime ago. It can feed in the ground too.

JOrnitho
Yes, thank you! I include it in the bestiary.

I think that the Rapa Nui thrush, Heavy-billed parrot, the timid rail, dwarf junglefowl and the Rapa Nui rat could appear in the chapter about Easter Island. I proposed them sometime ago and their description is in the topic about Fauna of Pacific Islands.

JOrnitho
OK, I add them there. This will make 9 species of vertebrate animals and 4 species of plants. Quite a full chapter for a rather small island.

I see. Maybe we can remove one of the vertebrates? The dwarf junglefowl could be removed and I use this species to live somewhere else. In this case, I would edit the description to have the bird living in other islands.

JOrnitho
You do not have to remove or edit anything. I said it was quite full, not overfilled or overloaded Feel the difference of words

Oh, ok. I thought that you meant that the island was too full of animals for it size. Hahahaha

I was thinking that the title of the chapter about the Atlantic forests could "Marvelous Forest" or "Marvelous Land". It would be an reference to how Rio de Janeiro is called "Cidade Maravilhosa" (Marvelous City).

And here's the bestiary for the Andaman and Nicobar:
Emperor junglefowl
Dwarf chital
Strong-jawed dog
Andaman flying squirrel
Indian hawk-eagle
Katchall flying squirrel
Striped coconut rat

And one more chapter is started - A Stone Condominimum, about sociable hornero and its parasites and commensals:
White-throated obrero
Dwarf kestrel
Godelo
Boiuna
Scabioid chewing-louse
Southern guandira, or Southern dwarf leaf-nosed bat
Jurupari

I was thinking if we could start talking about the chapter about Easter Island. I think that it already had enough species.

JOrnitho
Quite so, but I am pretty busy currently, so I temporarily cannot take part actively. Sorry, JOrnitho.

JOrnitho
I want to write chapter about Andaman Islands using your idea, but there are emperor junglefowl in it. This bird dwells in Nicobaras, other archipelago that is away from Andaman in about 150 km.
So, l can't use it in chapter. Do you agree?

I would notice that dryland bridges could exist there during pre-neocene cataclysms. Later, the bridges disappeared, but the fauna is of common origin and thus quite related. This is how JOrnitho thought the events could have developed by neocene, and that's why he inluded all islands as a whole archipelago there.

цитата:

As Биолог said, I thought that some dryland bridges could have formed between these islands. The glaciation in the transition between Quaternary and Neocene could have allowed it to happen.

Did it happen in the Pleistocene? They are pretty far from the mainland. Could you show me a map of the seafloor there?

Bridges in time of glaciation or in true neocene (25 my)?

There one big shelf " tentacle" of the continent in bottom of Indian Ocean, but it's quite deep, so it didn't turned to peninsula in Pleistocene.

During pre-neocene cataclysms that occurred after holocene and resulted in human extinction. These also resulted in the Antilean bridge in the Caribbean, connecting to Cuba. Neocene does use such temporary bridges.

Then I am not sure if this could happen in the Neocene either.
