The nightingale reed warbler (Acrocephalus luscinius), or Guam reed warbler, is an extinct song bird endemic to Guam. It has not been reported since the late 1960s and is now considered extinct.
Taxonomy and systematics[edit]
The nightingale reed warbler was originally described in 1830 by the French explorers and naturalists Quoy & Gaimard as Thryothorus luscinius. Until 2011, the Pagan reed warbler, Aguiguan reed warbler, and Saipan reed warbler were also considered as subspecies of the nightingale reed warbler until split by the IOC.[2]
Threats[edit]
The nightingale reed warbler was driven to extinction by several introduced species. These included the brown tree snake which has also decimated the populations of several other bird species on Guam. Other introduced predators included rats, cats and feral ungulates such as goats or sheep.[3] An introduced plant, ivy gourd, destroyed the canopy of the trees nightingale reed warblers built their nests in. Wetland destruction, fires and pesticides, as well as intensive land use for agriculture or building further reduced the available habitat.[4]
