“…The projection of the parasphenoid plate over the most caudal part of the rostrum parasphenoid was similar to that described for Ciconiiformes (FERREIR;DONATELLI, 2005) and for individuals of the family Nyctibiidae (Caprimulgiformes) (COSTA;DONATELLI, 2009).…”

“…The presence of two condyloid processes were observed for Amazona aestiva in the present study. The quadrate otic process was similar to that described in the literature in birds such as Bucconidae (Piciformes) (LADEIRA; and Nyctibiidae (COSTA;DONATELLI, 2009). The rostromedial direction of the orbital process, that is thin and elongated, has also been described in the literature for Megaxenops parnaguae (Passeriformes) .…”

“…Some authors have reported that the mandible process of the quadrate presents four different condyloid processs (SILVA et al, 2012;GUZZI et al, 2015b) while some authors describe the mandible process with two condyloid processes (LADEIRA;COSTA;DONATELLI, 2009). The presence of two condyloid processes were observed for Amazona aestiva in the present study.…”

Obtaining craniometric data is key to establishing parameters that can help in the anatomic identification and understanding of species. The aim of the present study was to establish the craniometric data and describe the main skull bones and structures of Amazona aestiva, which has become common in veterinary clinics, originated from the legalized purchase or trafficking of animals. A total of 20 adult specimens were used, donated for studies by the Paraíba Wild Animal Screening Center (Centro de Triagem de Animais Silvestres da Paraíba (CETAS-PB)/IBAMA-PB, Brazil. The skulls were dissected and macerated with water. First were identified the frontal, maxilla, mandible, nasal, jugal and quadrate bones that served as a base to identify other bone structures that were then compared with the skull of other bird species already described in the literature, especially psitacids. Values were obtained by measuring with a digital pachymeter, and the maximum skull length was 63.0 mm, the maximum width 33.0 mm and the rhamphotheca was 33.8 mm long. No significant differences were observed between males and females and well developed cranial kinesis was a remarkable characteristic of the species. The data obtained serve as a base to identify and characterize the species. These data can also aid in the clinic, imaging and veterinary surgery.

“…There are four distinct small foramina grouped next to the optic foramen (laterally and ventrally). Descriptions in other species suggest that these provide passage to the oculomotor (CN III), trochlear (CN IV), ophthalmic (branch of CN V), and abducent (CN VI) nerves 12,14,42,43 . Different authors point out that, in several species of birds, the large lateral part of the palatine bone plays a role in the ventral protection of the globe against the impact of prey in the palatal region 42,43 …”

Purpose To provide a descriptive investigation about relevant features of the crested caracara's eye (Caracara plancus) and bony orbit, as well as provide data for ophthalmic tests. Methods Morphological observations and the following diagnostic tests were performed: Schirmer tear test (STT), conjunctival flora evaluation, corneal touch threshold (CTT), intraocular pressure (IOP), central corneal thickness (CCT), B‐mode ocular biometry, palpebral fissure length (PFL), and corneal diameter (CD) in 19 healthy birds, plus two macerated skulls. Not all birds were used for each test. Results STT: 7.84 ± 3.05 mm/min; CTT: 2.46 ± 1.10 cm; IOP: 19.18 ± 3.07 mmHg; CCT: 0.31 ± 0.02 mm; PFL: 13.32 ± 1.06 mm; CD: 10.26 ± 2.43 mm; Axial globe length: 1.89 ± 0.06 cm; Anterior chamber depth: 0.27 ± 0.06 cm; Lens axial length: 4.55 ± 0.06 cm; Vitreous chamber depth: 1.2 ± 0.07 cm. The most frequent conjunctival bacterial isolates were Corynebacterium sp. (10/23.8%), Staphylococcus sp. (9/21.42%), Streptococcus sp. (7/16.6%), and E. coli (7/16.66%). The large lateral part of the palatine bone likely plays a role in the ventral protection of the globe against the impact of prey. Observed results are generally reflective of increased body mass compared to other Falconiformes, with values approaching those of similar sized Accipitriformes. Conclusions These data may help veterinarians recognize peculiar morphologic features and perform a more accurate diagnosis of eye diseases of this avian species.

“…Entre as características notáveis que as famílias Caprimulgidae e Nyctibiidae apresentam na mandíbula está a presença de articulações intramandibulares, localizadas na região mediana dos ramos mandibulares. Aquelas duas famílias exibem essa peculiaridade de forma muito similar, a qual já foi mencionada na literatura (Bühler 1970, Costa & Donatelli 2009 (Zusi & Bentz 1982). Esse processo é ainda denominado de tubérculo pronator por Zusi (2013 (1) curta…”

Dedicatória Aos meus pais, Beto e Claudete, e ao meu irmão Guga; pelo carinho e entusiasmo que sempre demonstraram pela minha profissão e minha paixão pelas aves (em especial pelos bacuraus e urutaus!), e por renunciarem muito de suas próprias vidas para que eu chegasse até aqui Epígrafe "Tenho a impressão de ter sido uma criança brincando a beira-mar, divertindo-me em descobrir uma pedrinha mais lisa ou uma concha mais bonita que as outras, enquanto o imenso oceano da verdade continua misterioso diante de meus olhos." Isaac Newton AgradecimentosEm primeiro lugar agradeço ao Prof. Dr. Luís Fábio Silveira pela oportunidade de poder participar de seu grupo de pesquisa e pela orientação competente e transparente durante esses anos de convivência no doutorado. Pela dedicação que destina às coleções ornitológicas do MZUSP, e por propiciar sempre um ambiente de trabalho altamente agradável e produtivo.Desde o meu primeiro contato para o ingresso na pós-graduação até a fase final dessa tese tem sido um grande mestre e amigo. A essa e todas as oportunidades que me foram confiadas, sou profundamente grato Luís.
