Yellow-billed stork
The Yellow-billed stork (''Mycteria ibis''), sometimes also called the wood stork or wood ibis, is a large African wading stork species in the Ciconiidae family. It is widespread in regions south of the Sahara and also occurs in Madagascar.
==Taxonomy and evolution==
The yellow-billed stork is closely related to 3 other species in the ''Mycteria'' genus: the American woodstork (''Mycteria americana''), the milky stork (''Mycteria cinerea'') and the painted stork (''Mycteria leucocephala''). It is classified as belonging to one clade with these 3 other species〔Peters JL. 1931. Check List of the birds of the world. Vol 1. Harvard University Press, Cambridge, USA.〕〔Kahl MP. 1972. Comparative ethology of the Ciconiidae. The wood storks (Genera Mycteria and Ibis). Ibis 114: 15-29.〕 because they all display remarkable homologies in behavior and morphology.〔Kahl MP. 1972. Comparative ethology of the Ciconiidae. The wood storks (Genera Mycteria and Ibis). Ibis 114: 15-29.〕 In one analytical study of feeding and courtship behaviours of the wood-stork family, MP Kahl attributed the same general ethology to all members of the ''Mycteria'' genus, with few species-specific variations.〔Kahl MP. 1972. Comparative ethology of the Ciconiidae. The wood storks (Genera Mycteria and Ibis). Ibis 114: 15-29.〕 These four species are collectively referred to as the wood-storks, which should not be confused with one alternative common name (wood-stork) for the yellow-billed stork.
Before it was established that the yellow-billed stork was closely related to the American woodstork, the former was classified as belonging to the genus ''Ibis'', together with the milky stork and painted stork.〔Hancock JA, Kushlan JA, Kahl MP. 1992. Storks, Ibises and Spoonbills of the World. Academic Press, London.〕 However, the yellow-billed stork has actually long been recognised as a true stork 〔Garrod AH. 1875a. On the form of trachea in certain species of storks and spoonbills. Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London 1875: 297-301.〕〔Garrod AH. 1875b. On the disposition of the deep planar tendons in different birds. Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London 1875: 339-348.〕 and along with the other 3 related stork species, it should not strictly be called an ibis.〔Hancock JA, Kushlan JA, Kahl MP. 1992. Storks, Ibises and Spoonbills of the World. Academic Press, London.〕
