梅花雀科
梅花雀科(學名:Estrildidae)是舊大陸熱帶地區和澳大拉西亞的一種小型雀形目鳥類,包括有多個常見鳥類的物種,例如:文鳥、侏儒鳥、火雀、鸚雀及梅花雀等[1]。梅花雀科有時會被視為雀科(Passeridae)的亞科,只包括在舊世界出現的雀,例如:麻雀屬[2]。儘管其外型可能有點相似,本科物種與燕雀科、鵐科又或美洲鵐科的關係其實並不密切。

梅花雀是群居的籽食鳥類,其喙短厚而尖利。梅花雀科物種的身體構造與習性都十分相似,但彼此間羽毛的顏色和花紋差異很大。
所有品種的梅花雀都會建造較大的半圓形鳥巢,每次可產5至10枚白色鳥蛋。大部分物種會建造用以棲息的鳥巢。部分火雀和斑腹雀會在維達雀科的巢內產卵寄生。
大部分的梅花雀都對寒冷極為敏感,性喜溫暖,多在熱帶定居;少數則在澳大利亞南部及新幾內亞的高地,並適應了當地較為寒冷的氣候,例如:高山文鳥、紅脅火尾雀、紅眉火尾雀,還有Stagonopleura這個屬的物種。
梅花雀科中最小的物種是小綠背織雀(Nesocharis shelleyi),體長僅8.3厘米(3.3英寸)。而最輕的物種是黑腰梅花雀(Estrilda troglodytes),僅重6克(0.21盎司)。最大的物種是禾雀(Padda oryzivora),體長可達17厘米(6.7英寸),體重可達25克(0.88盎司)。[3]

演化
有關梅花雀科物種的系統發生生物地理學(phylogeography)及其可能起源[4][5]的研究已經有了成果[6]。假設認為:隨着喜馬拉雅山的上升逐漸趨強(1,650萬年前),季雨在印度得以形成,右圖中便描述了這一起源。這項研究[6]的結論如下[7]:
- 梅花雀科為單系群多分枝的鳥類,其進化可能開始於中中新世(約1,650萬年前),然後分佈於非洲、亞洲及澳大利亞;
- 這一假設的時間跟燕雀亞科(Fringillinae,其實亦只有燕雀屬所有物種)物種開始輻射的時間符合,也與喜馬拉雅山及西藏高原最大的上升時間符合。這一次的上升是由於印度板塊最強烈的撞擊而引起,並且形成了今日南亞地區的季雨系統,以及其他較激烈的氣候變化,例如:令西藏高原及中國沙漠的氣候更乾燥。
- The most ancient evolutive group comprises African (銀嘴文鳥), Asian (白喉文鳥) and Australian (斑脅火尾雀); 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 胡錦鳥 (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.
- 非洲的文鳥屬African munias (Spermestes) belong to a genus totally different from Australian and Asian s.
- The Australian 紅眉火尾雀 (Neochmia temporalis), very similar to African common waxbill (Estrilda astrild), is unrelated to it. Their similarities (bill, red brow, etc.) are due to 趨同演化, since their environmental pressures (weather, habitat, feeding) are similar.[6][5]
