They comprise four species: * Amazon kingfisher, ''Chloroceryle amazona'' * Green kingfisher, ''Chloroceryle americana'' * Green-and-rufous kingfisher, ''Chloroceryle inda'' * American pygmy kingfisher, ''Chloroceryle aenea'' The American green kingfishers breed by streams in forests or mangroves, nesting in a long horizontal tunnel made in a river bank. They have the typical kingfisher shape, with a short tail and long bill. All are plumaged oily green above, and the underpart colour shows an interesting pattern insofar as the smallest and second largest, American pygmy kingfisher and green-and-rufous kingfisher, have rufous underparts, whereas the largest and second smallest, Amazon kingfisher and green kingfisher, have white underparts with only the males also having a rufous breast band. These birds take crustaceans and fish caught by the usual kingfisher technique of a dive from a perch or brief hover, although the American pygmy kingfisher will hawk at insects in flight. ==Evolutionary history== These water kingfishers are descended from a common ancestor which seems to have been closely related to a progenitor of the pied kingfisher (which at that stage had not yet lost the metallic plumage tone), and are similar in plumage and habits (Moyle, 2006). All four have overlapping ranges, and may fish the same waters; however the weight ratio of ''aenea'': ''americana'': ''inda'': ''amazona'' is almost exactly 1:2:4:8, which prevents direct competition for food. The ringed kingfisher, ''Megaceryle torquata'', a more distant relative, also occurs on the same rivers, but is twice as heavy as the Amazon kingfisher. Genetically, the largest species, ''C. amazona'', is the most distantly related, while the medium-sized (but differently colored) ''C. americana'' and ''C. inda'' are sister species. The differing coloration therefore does not indicate their evolutionary history, but rather seems to have evolved independently, to underscore the visual distinctness between taxa, thus helping to keep their gene pools separate (''see also'' Competitive exclusion principle). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「American green kingfisher」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
