Some writers equated the bird with extant swamphens, including African swamphens by the French ornithologist Jacques Berlioz in 1946, and western swamphens by the French ornithologist Nicolas BarrC) in 1996, despite their different habitat. The French ornithologist Philippe Milon doubted the Porphyrio affiliation in 1951, since Dubois' account stated the RC)union bird tasted good, while extant swamphens do not. In 1967, the American ornithologist James Greenway stated that the bird "must remain mysterious" until Porphyrio bones are one day uncovered. In 1974, an attempt was made to find fossil localities on the Plaine des Cafres plateau, where the bird was said to have lived, but no caves (which might contain kitchen middens where early settlers discarded bones of local birds) were found, and it was determined that a more careful study of the area was needed before excavations could be made.

While some early researchers thought the bird to be flightless, Brown's account states it could fly, and it is thought to have been a reluctant flier. Hume suggested it may have fed on plant matter and invertebrates, as other swamphens do. At least in the latter part of its existence, it appears to have been confined to mountains (retreating there between the 1670s and 1705), in particular to the Plaine des Cafres plateau, situated at an altitude of about 1,600b1,800 m (5,200b5,900 ft) in south-central RC)union. The environment of this area consists of open woodland in a subalpine forest steppe, and has marshy pools. The RC)union swamphen was termed a land-bird by Dubois, while other swamphens inhabit lowland swamps. This is similar to the RC)union ibis, which lived in forest rather than wetlands, which is otherwise typical ibis habitat.

In 1977, the American ornithologist Storrs L.

Responding to Strickland's book later that year, the Belgian scientist Edmond de SC)lys Longchamps coined the scientific name Apterornis coerulescens based on Dubois' account. The specific name is Latin for "bluish, becoming blue". SC)lys Longchamps also included two other Mascarene birds, at the time only known from contemporary accounts, in the genus Apterornis: the RC)union ibis (now Threskiornis solitarius); and the red rail (now Aphanapteryx bonasia). He thought them related to the dodo and Rodrigues solitaire, due to their shared rudimentary wings, tail, and the disposition of their digits. The name Apterornis had already been used for a different extinct bird genus from New Zealand (originally spelled Aptornis, the adzebills) by the British biologist Richard Owen earlier in 1848, and the French biologist Charles Lucien Bonaparte coined the new binomial Cyanornis erythrorhyn ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 20 Dec 2022 10:22:03 +0100 From: "Nike Shopper Feedback" Subject: Congratulations!

While only known from 17th- and 18th-century accounts by visitors to the island, it was scientifically named in 1848, based on the 1674 account by Sieur Dubois. A considerable literature was subsequently devoted to its possible affinities, with current researchers agreeing it was derived from the swamphen genus Porphyrio. It has been considered mysterious and enigmatic due to the lack of any physical evidence of its existence. This bird was described as entirely blue in plumage with a red beak and legs. It was said to be the size of a RC)union ibis or chicken, which could mean 65b70 cm (26b28 in) in length, and it may have been similar to the takahe. While easily hunted, it was a fast runner and able to fly, though it did so reluctantly.

The programme to move South Island takah? to predator-free island refuges, where the birds also receive supplementary feeding, began in 1984. Takah? can now be found on five small islands; Maud Island (Marlborough Sounds), Mana Island (off Wellington's west coast), Kapiti Island (off Wellington's west coast), Tiritiri Matangi Island (Hauraki Gulf) and Motutapu Island (Hauraki Gulf). The Department of Conservation also runs a captive breeding and rearing programme at the Burwood Breeding Centre near Te Anau which has up to 25 breeding pairs. Chicks are reared with minimal human contact. The offspring of the captive birds are used for new island releases and to add to the wild population in the Murchison Mountains. The Department of Conservation also manages wild takah? nests to boost the birds' recovery. An important management development has been the stringent control of deer in the Murchison Mountains and other takah? areas of Fiordland National Park. Following the introduction of deer hunting by helicopter, deer numbers have decreased dramatically and alpine vegetation is now recovering from years of heavy browsing. This improvement in its habitat has helped to increase takah? breeding success and survival.

All six endemic species of Mascarene rails are extinct, all caused by human activities. Overhunting was the main cause of the RC)union swamphen's extinction (it was considered good game and was easy to catch), but according to Cheke and Hume, the introduction of cats at the end of the 17th century could have contributed to the elimination of the bird once these became feral and reached its habitat. Today, cats are still a serious threat to native birds, in particular Barau's petrel, since they occur all over RC)union, including the most remote and high peaks. The eggs and chicks would also have been vulnerable to rats after their accidental introduction in 1676. On the other hand, the RC)union swamphen and other birds of the island appear to have successfully survived feral pigs. Cattle grazing on Plaine des Cafres was promoted by the French explorer Jean-Baptiste Charles Bouvet de Lozier in the 1750s, which may have also had an impact on the bird.
