Related History and Etimology
The domestic pigeon (Columba livia domestica) is a pigeon subspecies that was derived from the rock dove (also called the rock pigeon).
The rock pigeon is the world's oldest domesticated bird. Mesopotamian cuneiform tablets mention the domestication of pigeons more than 5,000 years ago, as do Egyptian hieroglyphics. Research suggests that domestication of pigeons occurred as early as 10,000 years ago. Pigeon is a French word that derives from the Latin pipio, for a "peeping" chick, while dove is a Germanic word that refers to the bird's diving flight. The English dialectal word "culver" appears to derive from Latin columba. A group of doves is called a "dule," (pronounced 'dool') taken from the French word deuil (mourning) |
Johann Friedrich Gmelin
(August 8, 1748 - November 1, 1804) Was a German naturalist , botanist , entomologist , herpetologist , and malacologist . Johann Friedrich Gmelin published several textbooks in the fields of chemistry, pharmaceutical science, mineralogy, and botany. He also published the 13th edition of Systema Naturae by Carl Linnaeus in 1788 and 1789. This contained descriptions and scientific names of many new species, including birds that had earlier been cataloged without a scientific name by John Latham in his A General Synopsis of Birds . |
John Latham
(27 June 1740 – 4 February 1837) Was an English physician, naturalist and author. His main works were A General Synopsis of Birds (1781–1801) and General History of Birds (1821–1828). He was able to examine specimens of Australian birds which reached England in the last twenty years of the 18th century, and was responsible for providing English names for many of them. These included the emu, sulphur-crested cockatoo, wedge-tailed eagle, superb lyrebird and Australian magpie. He was also the first to describe the hyacinth macaw. Latham has been called the "grandfather" of Australian ornithology. Elford Leach
(Bottom Left) Born at Hoe Gate, Plymouth, the son of anattorney. At the age of twelve he began a medical apprenticeshipat the Devonshire and Exeter Hospital, studying anatomy and chemistry. By this time he was already collecting marine animalsfrom Plymouth Sound and along the Devonn coast. At seventeen hebegan studying medicine at St Bartholomew's Hospital in London,finishing his training at the University of Edinburgh beforegraduating MD from the University of St Andrews (where he hadnever studied). From 1813 Leach concentrated on his zoological interests and wasemployed as an 'Assistant Librarian' in the Natural History Department of the BritishMuseum , where he had responsibility for the zoological collections. Here he threw himself into thetask of reorganising and modernising these collections, many of which had been neglected since HansSloane left them to the nation. In 1815, he published the first bibliography of entomology in Brewster's Edinburgh Encyclopedia. He also worked and published onother invertebrates, amphibians, reptiles, mammals and birds. |
