![]() ![]() Because there had been no indication that a third species might occur, it was a surprise when in 1985 F. The poorly known Ochre-bellied Hawk-Owl of the lowland rainforests in North and Central Sulawesi (White and Bruce 1986) is a small, fairly typical member of its genus (Frontispiece). Of these, the Speckled Hawk-Owl (Ninox punctulata) primarily inhabits disturbed lowland habitats throughout the island (White and Bruce 1986), and is morphologically quite different from other endemic Indonesian Ninox. įor many years two endemic species of the genus Ninox were thought to occur on the central Indonesian island of Sulawesi. Because Ninox ics is only known from one specimen, its distribution and conservation status are unknown nothing is known of its ecology, but it probably occurs primarily at higher elevations than N. Its relationships within the genus Ninox are unclear it differs in several morphological characters from all other species. Ninox ios is small, predominantly bright chestnut, and lacks facial patterning it has pink orbital skin, yellow irides, triangular whitish scapular spots, a finely banded and relatively long tail, unusually short, slender tarsi that are feathered for most of their length, and weak claws. It was previously identified as a rufous morph of the Ochre-bellied Hawk-Owl, N. $35? Wow, even if it is a loss leader for the online version.ABSTRACT.-A distinctive new species of hawk-owl, Ninox ios, is described from a specimen collected in 1985 in forest at 1120 m in Bogani Nani Wartabone (then Dumoga-Bone) National Park, North Sulawesi, Indonesia. Making a rather complex and powerful database this easy to use and attractive is no mean feat. A thorough read will offset the relative lack of inline help. Note that there is a user’s guide available online that can also be downloaded as PDF. How well it scales I can’t tell you, but Ninox has enterprise customers, so that should be a good sign. Of course, I was only dealing with a thousand rather small records with no images, etc. Imports, scrolling, drag & drop, image loading were all very, very quick–like blink of an eye quick. I found Ninox extremely fast, especially compared to Access on Windows, which has recently become slothful when opening forms. For the price, I don’t care, but I don’t develop database applications for others anymore. There’s no “white fencing” (a term I heard from Ninox), i.e., customizing the front end with company logos, etc. I must also stress that Ninox for Mac is an end-user only database. Ninox makes adding dates easy with a calendar-like date picker. One other thing that bugged me: when you access one of the drop-down controls (yes/no, date picker, etc.), Ninox resets the tab counter/location (the tab key moves from field to field) to the first field in the form, forcing you to select the next field in the form with mouse or tab through all the fields again. Note that this was an old record with the date already in place–my clock was not set wrong. Most of the time you’ll simply use Ninox’s handsome calendar-style date picker selector shown below. That isn’t a huge deal, but it might bite some. Subsequently, however, pasting into a date field, it became Jan 22nd, 0004. They imported fine as you can select the format being used. All my dates are in the format month/day/year, e.g or 1/4/22–January 4th 2022.
