梅花雀科
梅花雀科(学名:Estrildidae)是旧大陆热带地区和澳大拉西亚的一种小型雀形目鸟类,包括有多个常见鸟类的物种,例如:文鸟、侏儒鸟、火雀、鹦雀及梅花雀等[1]。梅花雀科有时会被视为雀科(Passeridae)的亚科,只包括在旧世界出现的雀,例如:麻雀属[2]。尽管其外型可能有点相似,本科物种与燕雀科、鹀科又或美洲鹀科的关系其实并不密切。

梅花雀是群居的籽食鸟类,其喙短厚而尖利。梅花雀科物种的身体构造与习性都十分相似,但彼此间羽毛的颜色和花纹差异很大。
所有品种的梅花雀都会建造较大的半圆形鸟巢,每次可产5至10枚白色鸟蛋。大部分物种会建造用以栖息的鸟巢。部分火雀和斑腹雀会在维达雀科的巢内产卵寄生。
大部分的梅花雀都对寒冷极为敏感,性喜温暖,多在热带定居;少数则在澳大利亚南部及新几内亚的高地,并适应了当地较为寒冷的气候,例如:高山文鸟、红胁火尾雀、红眉火尾雀,还有Stagonopleura这个属的物种。
梅花雀科中最小的物种是小绿背织雀(Nesocharis shelleyi),体长仅8.3厘米(3.3英寸)。而最轻的物种是黑腰梅花雀(Estrilda troglodytes),仅重6克(0.21盎司)。最大的物种是禾雀(Padda oryzivora),体长可达17厘米(6.7英寸),体重可达25克(0.88盎司)。[3]

演化
有关梅花雀科物种的系统发生生物地理学(phylogeography)及其可能起源[4][5]的研究已经有了成果[6]。假设认为:随着喜马拉雅山的上升逐渐趋强(1,650万年前),季雨在印度得以形成,右图中便描述了这一起源。这项研究[6]的结论如下[7]:
- 梅花雀科为单系群多分枝的鸟类,其进化可能开始于中中新世(约1,650万年前),然后分布于非洲、亚洲及澳大利亚;
- 这一假设的时间跟燕雀亚科(Fringillinae,其实亦只有燕雀属所有物种)物种开始辐射的时间符合,也与喜马拉雅山及西藏高原最大的上升时间符合。这一次的上升是由于印度板块最强烈的撞击而引起,并且形成了今日南亚地区的季雨系统,以及其他较激烈的气候变化,例如:令西藏高原及中国沙漠的气候更干燥。
- The most ancient evolutive group comprises African (银嘴文鸟), Asian (白喉文鸟) and Australian (斑胁火尾雀); this suggests that the whole Estrildids radiation might have originated around India.[6][4][5]
- The African group Nesocharis is grouped with the African gender Estrilda.
- The 胡锦鸟 (Erythrura or Chloebia gouldiae) is definitely included within genus Erythrura with the other species.
- The 禾雀 (Padda or Lonchura oryzivora) is a very modified species from genus Lonchura: bigger than the rest of Lonchura species, and a noticeable and quite different head pattern. It is endemic to Java, Bali, and the Bawean Islands, although escapes from captivity can be seen today in other neighboring islands.
- 非洲的文鸟属African munias (Spermestes) belong to a genus totally different from Australian and Asian s.
- The Australian 红眉火尾雀 (Neochmia temporalis), very similar to African common waxbill (Estrilda astrild), is unrelated to it. Their similarities (bill, red brow, etc.) are due to 趋同演化, since their environmental pressures (weather, habitat, feeding) are similar.[6][5]
