drepanididae การใช้

A new genus and species of bird from the Island of Maui, Hawaii ( Passeriformes : Drepanididae ).
Most authorities categorize this group as a family Drepanididae, but some biologists still place them as a subfamily, Drepanidinae, of the finch family, Fringillidae.
Larger islands with diverse ecological niches encouraged floral and faunal adaptive radiation, whereby multiple species evolved from a common ancestor, each species adapted to a different ecological niche; the various species of Hawaiian honeycreepers ( Family " Drepanididae " ) are a classic example.
