The white-throated rail (Dryolimnas cuvieri Cuvier's rail , is a species of bird in the family Rallidae .
Distribution [ edit ]
It is found in the Comoros , Madagascar , Mayotte , and Seychelles .
Taxonomy [ edit ]
Illustration of the extinct Assumption Island subspecies, 1908
The nominate subspecies is found in Madagascar. A flightless subspecies (sometimes considered a distinct species),[2] Dryolimnas (cuvieri) aldabranus (Aldabra rail ), inhabits Aldabra , while the semi-flightless subspecies D. c. Abbott (Assumption rail ) from Assumption Island went extinct in the early 20th century due to introduced predators .[3] rising sea levels during the Pleistocene , but the atoll was recolonized by the white-throated rail after it resurfaced; this population evolved in a very similar way to the extinct subspecies, eventually evolving into the modern Aldabra rail. This is one of the very few observed instances of iterative evolution , in which a distinct population is wiped out from an area but it is recolonized by members of the source population, who evolve in the same way as the extinct population.[4] [5]
It is now the last living member of the genus Dryolimnas , and the Aldabra subspecies is believed to be the last flightless bird in the Indian Ocean .[6] habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest and subtropical or tropical mangrove forest .
