Buntings, Sparrows, Seedeaters and allies
[bewerken | brontekst bewerken]Order: Passeriformes Family: Emberizidae
The emberizids are a large family of passerine birds. They are seed-eating birds with a distinctively shaped bill. In Europe, most species are named as buntings. In North America, most of the species in this family are known as Sparrows, but these birds are not closely related to the Old World sparrows which are in the family Passeridae. Many emberizid species have distinctive head patterns. There are species 275 worldwide and 22 species which occur in Suriname.

Saltators, Cardinals and allies
[bewerken | brontekst bewerken]Orde: Passeriformes Familie: Cardinalidae
The cardinals are a family of passerine birds that are robust, seed-eating birds, with strong bills. They are typically associated with open woodland. The sexes usually have distinct plumages. There are 43 species worldwide and 8 species which occur in Suriname.
- Red-and-black Grosbeak Periporphyrus erythromelas
- Grayish Saltator Saltator coerulescens
- Buff-throated Saltator Saltator maximus
- Slate-colored Grosbeak Saltator grossus

- Blue-black Grosbeak Cyanocompsa cyanoides
- Dickcissel Spiza americana
Troupials and allies
[bewerken | brontekst bewerken]Orde: Passeriformes Familie: Icteridae
The icterids are a group of small to medium, often colourful, passerine birds restricted to the New World and include the grackles, New World blackbirds, and New World orioles. Most species have black as the predominant plumage colour, often enlivened by yellow, orange or red. There are 98 species worldwide and 15 species which occur in Suriname.

Een Heinrich event is een geologische gebeurtenis binnen een glaciaal gedurende het Kwartair. Een Heinrich event wordt gekenmerkt door een toename van sediment uit ijsbergen op lage breedtes, een verlaagde temperatuur op het noordelijk halfrond en een verhoogde temperatuur op het zuidelijk halfrond. Binnen de laatste 80.000 jaar worden zes verschillende events onderscheiden, die meestal gezien worden in verband met plotselinge variaties in de dynamiek van de Noord-Amerikaanse ijskap en de oceaancirculatie.
Herkenning en correlatie
[bewerken | brontekst bewerken]Heinrich events werden in eerste instantie herkend in diepzeekernen op relatief lage breedtes in de noordelijke Atlantische Oceaan aan het voorkomen van ice rafted debris (IRD) dat met ijsbergen wordt meegevoerd (zoals dropstones). Ze zijn voor het eerst beschreven als cyclische gebeurtenissen in 1988 door Hartmut Heinrich, die ze tevens correleerde met veranderingen in het voorkomen van bepaalde planktonische foraminiferen.[1] Later zijn ze ook herkend in andere proxy-archieven die met name op zuurstofisotopen-analyse zijn gebasseerd. In ijskernen uit de Groenlandse ijskap zijn te herkennen als diepe dalen in de δ18O-waarde. Tot op zekere hoogte is het ook mogelijk de Heinrich events te correleren met isotopenwaardes van speleothemen uit China en ijskernen uit Antarctica.
Kenmerken
[bewerken | brontekst bewerken]Heinrich events vertonen een duidelijke samenhang met Dansgaard-Oeschger cycli (D/O-cycli). De D/O-cycli hebben een vrij regelmatige periode van 1500 jaar, de Heinrich events treden echter wat onregelmatiger op, het tijdsinterval varieert ruwweg van 5000 tot 15.000 jaar. De Heinrich events worden meestal gevolgd door een plotselinge sterke stijging in de temperatuur.
