Meanings of manakin in inglés

The prettiest bird was a tiny manakin, coal-black, with a red-and-orange head.

The curious black umbrella-bird is entirely confined to it, as is also the little bristle-tailed manakin.

We found no significant correlations between manakin parasite lineage turnover and both manakin species turnover and geographic distance.

We used molecular methods to screen 1343 individuals of 30 manakin species for the presence of parasites.

We also found no evidence that manakin parasite lineage turnover among host species correlates with range overlap and genetic divergence among hosts.

They are called after their colours, as the speckled manakin, the white-capped South American manakin, the purple-breasted, variegated, purple-throated, and rock manakins.

Climate differences, species turnover in the larger bird community and parasite lineage turnover in non-manakin hosts did not correlate with manakin parasite lineage turnover.

To preserve in our collections the fine tint of the plumage of a male and full-grown rock-manakin, it must not be exposed to the light.

When I encounter one of these people some fine day in a hotel, I act like the birds, who see a manakin in a field.

Bostwick suspected that the male manakin's sound was produced when its thick-tipped feather shafts rubbed over its ridged feathers, like a spoon over wooden slats.

With feathers that resonate at precisely 1,500 hertz, the male club-winged manakin is perhaps the bird world's most perfectly tuned example of sexual selection.

The birds I had caught were found to be manakins and tiger-birds.

Among them were several species of trogons and little bristle-tailed manakins.

Male manakins are able to lift their wings over their back and shake them rapidly, producing a loud mechanical sound.

The plumes worn by the Guipunaves* are the most celebrated; being composed of the fine feathers of manakins and parrots.

About the size of a pigeon, it belongs to the tribe of the diminutive manakins, most of which have beautiful and curious plumage.
