This website presents my interest in photography and birdwatching. Majority of the pictures were taken by digiscoping, i.e. mounting a digital camera on a spotting scope.This technique gives the possibility to have high focal length, bigger than 2 000 mm, and thus, decrease the approach distance of the animal.
Phylogenetic tree of birds "Protists to avians" |
By clicking on the above picture, you will watch a simplified representation of the phylogenetic tree of birds.
This pages have been done with the software
Inxight Star Tree Studio and the information found on the regretted website
http://phylogeny.arizona.edu/tree/phylogeny.html. It is not the aim of this presentation to introduce the complete view of the history of birds. My goal is to show a simple view of the slow evolution of the wildlife, from the first cells to the more developped pluri-cellular animals.
To browse these pages, click-slide to open the branches of the tree. Left click centers the square selected on the page. Most of the squares are active, and lead by double-click to a page describing the clade selected on the website of the Museum of
Paléontology of the University of California, Berkeley
: http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/help/taxaform.html.
The squares*synapsida* and *reptilia* link to the following of the phylogenetic tree.
