Plate 9
EDITORS COMMENTS
from Alfred Russel Wallace's seminal work, "The Geographical Distribution of Animals," published in 1876, offers a captivating glimpse into the rich biodiversity of the Malayan forest. This illustration showcases a vibrant and intricately detailed representation of the forest's characteristic avian inhabitants. At the heart of the image lies a majestic Malayan hornbill (Bucerotes buceroides), its distinctive, forked beak adorned with bright red and yellow feathers, a striking contrast against the lush green foliage. The hornbill, a proud member of the Bucerotidae family within the order Bucerotiformes, is a large, powerful bird that is well-known for its elaborate courtship displays, which involve the male sealing off a hole in a tree with mud and feeding the female through it while she incubates her eggs. Perched on a long branch, a frogmouth (Caprimulgus malayanus) keeps a watchful eye on the forest floor below. This nocturnal bird, belonging to the Caprimulgiformes order, is expertly camouflaged against the bark, its cryptic plumage allowing it to blend seamlessly into the tree. Among the other birds depicted in this illustration are various fowl and galliformes, including pheasants and jungle fowl, which are common inhabitants of the Malayan forest. The plate also features a variety of mammals, such as eutherian species like deer and tapirs, which can be found coexisting harmoniously with the avian population. This stunning illustration offers a snapshot of the diverse and fascinating world of the Malayan forest, a testament to the extraordinary biodiversity of Asia and the remarkable work of naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace.
