Cettiidae Alström, Ericson, U.Olsson & P.Sundberg (1)

Use for: bush warblers

  • Most bush warblers are secretive brown birds, adept at clambering through thick shrubbery, and, though vocal, some will not emerge even in response to playback. Although some genera forage actively in mid and upper levels of vegetation, most forage near the ground and many will not flush if alarmed, instead escaping by walking or scurrying away like a mouse. The tesias and stubtails are the most adroit at running through dense vegetation seemingly without disturbing it at all, and with their short tails, relatively long legs, and bounding gait they look like tiny pittas making their getaway.

Caprifoliaceae Juss.

Use for: Dipsacaceae Juss., Valerianaceae Batsch

  • The honeysuckle family of the order Dipsacales, comprising about 42 genera and 890 species. The family is well known for its many ornamental shrubs and vines. It is primarily composed of north temperate species but also includes some tropical mountain plants. The phylogeny (history of evolutionary development) of Caprifoliaceae has been contentious, and the family is broadly circumscribed. Many of its members were formally placed in discrete families, though molecular and morphological evidence has led to their collective grouping under Caprifoliaceae.
