A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2010 found that the genus Grus was polyphyletic. [4] In the subsequent rearrangement, four species were placed in the resurrected genus Antigone. [2] The genus had initially been erected in 1853 by German naturalist Ludwig Reichenbach. [5] The type species is the sarus crane (Antigone antigone). [6]
In the resulting rearrangement to create monophyletic genera, four species, including the sandhill crane, were placed in the resurrected genus Antigone that had originally been erected by the German naturalist Ludwig Reichenbach in 1853. [8] [9] The specific epithet canadensis is the modern Latin word for "from Canada". [10] Five subspecies are ...
The brolga was formerly placed in the genus Grus, but a molecular phylogenetic study published in 2010 found that the genus, as then defined, was polyphyletic. [11] In the resulting rearrangement to create monophyletic genera, four species, including the brolga, were placed in the resurrected genus Antigone that had originally been erected by ...
The family name Gruidae comes from the genus Grus, this genus name is obtained from the epithet of the common crane which is Ardea grus, it is named by Carl Linnaeus from the Latin word grus meaning "crane". [9] The 15 living species of cranes are placed in four genera. [1]
The meaning of the name is, as in the case of the masculine equivalent Antigonus, "in place of one's parents" or "worthy of one's parents". Antigone appears in the three 5th century BC tragic plays written by Sophocles, known collectively as the three Theban plays, being the protagonist of the eponymous tragedy Antigone.
The genus Grus was erected by the French zoologist Mathurin Jacques Brisson in 1760. [1] The name Grus is the Latin word for "crane". [2] The German ornithologist Peter Simon Pallas was sometimes credited with erecting the genus in 1766 [3] but the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature ruled in 1956 that Brisson should have ...
