megapode

Incubator birds: biogeographical origins and evolution of underground nesting in megapodes (Galliformes: Megapodiidae).

For example, in all captive-breeding programs involving release of megapode chicks within a few hours of hatching, nearly all have died.

A further sign of rain during ebenjip is the paeraeb brown-collared brush turkey (Talegalla jobiensis), scratching together vegetation to build up its megapode mound prior to laying eggs in it.

The proposal was turned down by the ministry last month to protect the habitat of endangered bird Nicobar Megapode, which is found only in that region.

Further, many are involved in school fund-raising activities; digging megapode eggs; marketing eggs or fruit in Gizo; and local lineage matters.

There are megapode mounds in the Albatross Bay area, and these sometimes contain traces of shell originating from nearby middens, but megapode mounds are clearly distinct in terms of their composition and form from shell mounds built by people.
