It is among the earliest known members of its genus . Described in 2006, it was of similar size to the Canada Goose Verify source date August 2007 which subspecies? See also Cackling Goose . It is known from a humerus bone Verify source date August 2007 , which differs form the living species by a wider distal end of the diaphysis , a dorsal Condyle anatomy condyle that is more rounded in Dorsum biology dorsal view and more prominent compared to the ventral condyle in distal view, and a deeper humerotricipital sulcus in distal view. The fossil was found in a Late Miocene Middle Turolian European Mammal Neogene stage MN12, 7.5 6.8 million years ago deposit at Perivolaki in Thessaly , after which region the species was named. Both near shore freshwater bodies and open grassland habitat were found in the Perivolaki area during MN12. The species provides further support for the distinctness of Branta from the Anser genus Anser grey geese by that time. It also suggests that the present biogeography of Eurasian Branta breeding at Arctic and wintering at Mediterranean latitude s is a product of post Miocene times, possibly due to range shifts during the ice age era. In this aspect it is notable that such a breeding wintering range disjunction is less pronounced in the Canada and Cackling Goose Cackling Geese of North America, where unlike in there was no W E barrier the Alpide belt barring range shifts in response ...

The scientific nomenclature was up to date and vernacular names in Italian, French, German and English are provided for each species. A large number of local names was added for the common birds. There is a detailed and differential description of each species, and notes on distribution, breeding, eggs, habitat, song, and food. There are diagnoses of genera and a bibliography of nearly 1000 titles articles and books on Italian ornithology general accounts of the structure of birds, bird migration , song, eggs, nidification and taxonomy. There is also a systematic list, a list of species erroneously recorded species and a table of migration dates. The 500 text figures illustrate morphological detail and the 36 coloured plates depict most of the Italian species.

Iceland is an island and country in the north Atlantic . Its birds are typical of northwestern Europe, but there are few breeding landbirds because the hard winters make it difficult for resident species, and the remoteness limits the range of summer bird migration migrants . However, the island has recorded an impressive array of American vagrants, due to its location. Iceland has recorded 370 bird species as listed below. These include one extinct species, one globally threatened species, and one introduced species.
