“…In general, migratory behaviour is uncommon amongst rails but sporadic dispersal appears to occur widely in the family. For example, American coots Fulica americana make seasonal movements and frequently aggregate in winter (Terres , Udvardy , McKnight and Hepp ), and dispersal in Brazilian wood rail Aramides mangle appears to involve cyclic range expansion and retraction (Marcondes et al ). The corncrake Crex crex is notable among Rallidae for its reproductive range that requires seasonal migration between Europe/Asia and southern Africa (Taylor , Walther et al ).…”

Despite the capacity for dispersal, range size varies considerably among birds species. Many species have restricted geographic spread, whilst others routinely travel long distances to reach preferred habitat. These alternatives are well expressed amongst the rails (Rallidae) and a varying tendency for movement results in overlapping distribution patterns. Here, we examine the situation of a particular lineage, the Lewinia rails (L. mirifica, L. pectoralis and L. muelleri) that inhabit a very wide spatial and ecological range. Lewinia occurs from the Philippines, north of the equator in Oceania, to Australia and the subantarctic Auckland Islands far to the south. Allopatric distribution and differences in plumage colour result in their treatment as distinct species but our mitochondrial molecular analysis (cyt b and CR) reveals genetic distances of less than  1%. The genetic and phylogeographical structure in the Lewinia lineage includes shared nuclear sequence alleles and this is consistent with a callibrated multigene phylogeny suggesting trans-hemispheric dispersal since the middle Pleistocene. Despite this recent history, available morphometric data indicates that the subantarctic population has relatively small wings for its mass, and this implies adaptation away from flight. Lewinia provides a nice example of the way dispersal and adaptation intersect over short time frames to generate diversity.

The taxonomy of the polytypic and wide-ranging Gray-necked Wood-rail, Aramides cajaneus is reviewed, based on external morphology and voice. Throughout its distribution, there is extensive plumage variation, much of it taxonomically uninformative. However, through three informative plumage characters, as well as morphometric and vocal variation, three phylogenetic species were identified within what is today known as Aramides cajaneus, all of which already had available names: Aramides albiventris Lawrence, 1868, from southern Mexico to northeastern Costa Rica, Aramides cajaneus (Statius Müller, 1776) (sensu stricto), from southwestern Costa Rica to Argentina, and Aramides avicenniae Stotz, 1992, from a small section of the coast of southeastern Brazil. Aramides albiventris presents extensive plumage variation, but with no geographic structure. The song of Aramides cajaneus and Aramides avicenniae is strikingly and completely different from the song of Aramides albiventris. A previously unnoticed parapatric pattern of distribution of Aramides cajaneus and its congener Aramides saracura in southeastern Brazil is described, and we clarify that the name Aramides plumbeicollis, included in the synonymy of Aramides albiventris, was first made available in 1892, rather than in 1888 as is widely referred. In addition, plumage variation in Aramides ypecaha, Aramides wolfi, and Aramides mangle is discussed.

“…Nevertheless, any classification using this typology should not be considered definitive and should be updated constantly as more is discovered about species' movements. For instance, there are many examples of migratory movements detected in species long considered resident, including the Little wood-rail Aramides mangle (Marcondes et al 2014), the Rufous-thighed kite Harpagus diodon (Lees & Martin 2015) and the Ash-throated casiornis Casiornis fuscus (Lees 2016…”

“…Some of the nomadic, undefined and partial migrants could, in fact, be performing movements more regular than we think, and some of the residents could actually be migrants or partial migrants. There is a steady stream of studies revisiting migratory status in species formerly thought to be sedentary, such as the Little wood-rail Aramides mangle (Marcondes et al 2014), the Rufous-thighed kite Harpagus diodon (Lees & Martin 2015) and the Ash-throated casiornis Casiornis fuscus (Lees 2016). Additionally, in some cases species are known to perform some type of cyclical seasonal movements, but little is known about their spatial pattern, such as the Slaty elaenia Elaenia strepera (Marantz & Remsen 2013).…”

“…Although distinguishing which species' data presented seasonality due to bias or migration was out of the scope of this paper, we consider important that such investigation is performed subsequently. Further analysis could reveal a number of overlooked cryptic migratory species especially in the mega-diverse tropical regions of sub-Saharan Africa, Southeast Asia and South America, where species movements are in general poorly understood (Chesser 1994;Marcondes et al 2014;Barçante et al 2017). In these regions the prevalence of seasonal migration could be the rule rather than the exception as, for example, monsoon regimes in rainforests and seasonal fire in drier areas are known to trigger migrations (Endo et al 2014).…”

Birds perform many types of migratory movements that vary remarkably both geographically and between taxa. Nevertheless, nomenclature and definitions of avian migrations are often not used consistently in the published literature, and the amount of information available varies widely between taxa. Although comprehensive global lists of migrants exist, these data oversimplify the breadth of types of avian movements, as Publications included in this thesis No publications included.
