Dwarf tinamou

The dwarf tinamou (Taoniscus nanus), also known as the least tinamou, is a small, superficially partridge-like bird with short tail and wings, found only in Brazil. Nothurinae and dwarf tinamou are tinamous.

Family (biology)

Family (familia,: familiae) is one of the nine major hierarchical taxonomic ranks in Linnaean taxonomy.

See Nothurinae and Family (biology)

Forest

A forest is an ecosystem characterized by a dense community of trees.

See Nothurinae and Forest

Fruit

In botany, a fruit is the seed-bearing structure in flowering plants that is formed from the ovary after flowering (see Fruit anatomy).

See Nothurinae and Fruit

Genus

Genus (genera) is a taxonomic rank above species and below family as used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms as well as viruses.

See Nothurinae and Genus

Grassland

A grassland is an area where the vegetation is dominated by grasses (Poaceae).

See Nothurinae and Grassland

Insect

Insects (from Latin insectum) are hexapod invertebrates of the class Insecta.

Palaeognathae

Palaeognathae is an infraclass of birds, called paleognaths or palaeognaths, within the class Aves of the clade Archosauria. Nothurinae and Palaeognathae are Paleognathae.

Rhea (bird)

Rheas, also known as ñandus or South American ostrich, are moderately sized South American ratites (flightless birds without a keel on their sternum bone) of the order Rheiformes.

Seed

In botany, a seed is a plant embryo and food reserve enclosed in a protective outer covering called a seed coat (testa).

See Nothurinae and Seed

South America

South America is a continent entirely in the Western Hemisphere and mostly in the Southern Hemisphere, with a considerably smaller portion in the Northern Hemisphere.

See Nothurinae and South America

Species

A species (species) is often defined as the largest group of organisms in which any two individuals of the appropriate sexes or mating types can produce fertile offspring, typically by sexual reproduction.

See Nothurinae and Species

Subfamily

In biological classification, a subfamily (Latin: subfamilia, plural subfamiliae) is an auxiliary (intermediate) taxonomic rank, next below family but more inclusive than genus.

See Nothurinae and Subfamily

Taxonomic rank

In biology, taxonomic rank is the relative level of a group of organisms (a taxon) in an ancestral or hereditary hierarchy.
