Abstract |
This paper reports the results of an analysis of 508 sub-fossil carpometacarpi of swiftlets (Aves: Apodidae) recovered during archaeological excavations of the Great Cave of Niah in Sarawak, North-western Borneo. The bones date from 48 ky BP (ky BP: 103 calibrated years before present [1950]) to 0.35 ky BP and provide a means to consider populations of birds (of which one species is a significant commercial interest) in the context of environmental and climatic change in the past, and their responses to recent anthropogenic landscape changes in the present. Biometric analyses and comparative data indicate that the collection contained specimens attributable to the three extant species of swiftlet that currently inhabit the Great Cave: the black-nest swiftlet (Aerodramus maximus), mossy-nest swiftlet (Aerodramus salanganus) and the white-bellied swiftlet (Collocalia esculenta). A subset of 267 identified specimens provides a time series that suggests that the Great Cave and environs have sustained populations of these three species throughout last 48,000 years. While changes in the wing length of extant species of swiftlet are known as a function of geographical and altitudinal range, statistical testing of a single character (greatest length of the carpometacarpus) did not indicate changes in wing length in any of the identified species. The findings indicate that the local environs maintained a sufficient abundance of aerial arthropods to support populations of these obligate insectivores and are consistent with studies that suggest that the structural diversity of forest habitats was maintained throughout the late Pleistocene (48 ky BP to 11.6 ky BP) and Holocene (11.6 ky BP to 0.35 ky BP). The findings also provide context for the recent declines of the commercially-significant black-nest swiftlet and suggest that this species may be ill-equipped to adapt to recent anthropogenic deforestation of the Niah area. |

Abstract |
Due to a lack of distinctive morphological characters, swift taxonomy and phylogeny has always been an area of disagreement. To shed more light on this subject, we reconstructed swift(let) phylogeny based on 1143 bp of mitochondrial cytochrome-b DNA sequence. Although this is not the first attempt to reconstruct swift phylogeny using molecular data, our results show higher support for many of the branches due to our much longer sequences. However, placement of Hydrochous is still unexpected. Implementation of more conservative genetic regions and sampling of more taxa could solve this problem. Most importantly, the Collocaliini resolve as a monophyletic group. The internal structure of the group shows that non-echolocating Collocalia and echolocating Aerodramus form two distinct clades. This is in congruence with earlier classifications based on morphological characters, but in contrast with more recent classifications. |
