''Parula'' was formerly a small genus of New World warblers which breed in North and South America. In 1758, Linnaeus classified the northern parula as a tit, ''Parus americanus'', and as taxonomy developed the genus name was modified first to ''Parulus'' and then the current form. The family name, Parulidae, of course also derives from this source. Most recently, the two species were: * Northern parula, ''Parula americana'' * Tropical parula, ''Parula pitiayumi'' (Flame-throated and crescent-chested warblers were formerly classified in this genus.) ==Taxonomy== Recent genetic research has suggested that ''Parula'' and ''Setophaga'' are congeneric and should be merged. As the name ''Setophaga'' (published in 1827) takes priority over ''Parula'' (published in 1838), both the species would be transferred to ''Setophaga'' where this is accepted.〔Lovette, I. J. et al. (2010). A comprehensive multilocus phylogeny for the wood-warblers and a revised classification of the Parulidae (Aves). ''Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution'' 57 (2): 753-770. (Abstract )〕 This change has been accepted by the North American Classification Committee of the AOU,〔Chesser, R. T. et al. (2011). Fifty-Second Supplement to the American Ornithologists’ Union Check-list of North American Birds. ''Auk'' 128 (3): 600-613 (fulltext )〕 and the IOC.,〔IOC World Bird List (Family Parulidae )〕 however the South American Classification Committee of the AOU continues to use the genus ''Parula''. 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「Parula」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
