It appears that part of the quote may have been attributed in error to Darwin. The source of the confusion seems to be the book Galapagos, a Natural History By Jackson, M. H. (1993) - Page 177 - ( Page views at Google Books - http://books.google.co.in/books?id=TlxzU6i_LV0C&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_navlinks_s ) Here it can be seen that the statement in which Darwin apparently reports being shadowed for three kilometres by juvenile birds, is actually the statement of Jackson, the author of the book. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.247.145.189 (talk) 21:55, 15 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move

[edit]
The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: no consensus after nearly a month of discussion, and nearly two weeks without new discussion.--Cerejota (talk) 05:19, 18 September 2011 (UTC) ~~~~[reply]


– Requesting move of all the animal articles using "Galapagos" without diacritics (with the exception of fish here, which could be a bit of a different case; these are also all the articles actually related to the islands except an organisation). The page for the islands has just been moved back to the diacritics (Talk:Galápagos Islands#Requested move), after that page and some of the pages listed here were moved without discussionby. Most articles (e.g., Galápagos tortoise, Galápagos Petrel) use and have used the diacritics; diacritics definitely are very commonly used, if not more so and in more appropriately for the article as argued at the requested move for the islands. It is possible that diacritics are less commonly used for the animal species, but I would expect it to be the opposite, especially for relatively obscure species. —innotata 16:17, 20 August 2011 (UTC) —innotata 16:17, 20 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Flightless or almost flightless?

[edit]

Hello, I red the article about the Galapagos Crake and it says it is an almost flightless species, but can someone give more information about that? I mean clarify if it actually "flies",glides, flutters, or flies poorly. I asked the same on Galapagos Crake article.
