Mearnsia ist eine kleine Vogelgattung in der Familie der Segler (Apodidae). Bei den beiden Vertretern der Gattung handelt es sich um mittelgroße Segler mit einem stark glänzenden Gefieder. Beide Arten sind Endemiten, der Philippinensegler kommt nur auf den südöstlichen Inseln der Philippinen vor, der Papuasegler nur auf Neuguinea.[1]
Merkmale Es handelt sich um Segler mittlerer Größe mit einer Körperlänge von ungefähr 14 (Philippinensegler) bzw. 11,5 Zentimetern (Papuasegler). Beide Arten der Gattung weisen ein stark glänzendes Gefieder auf, das des Papuaseglers ist nahezu vollständig schwarz bis auf den stark kontrastierenden hellen Kehlfleck und einen weißen Bereich an den Deckfedern der Flügelunterseite. Der Philippinensegler ist schwarzglänzend, nur die Unterseite ist nahezu vollständig weiß.
Bei beiden Arten ragen die Federkiele der Steuerfedern als „Schwanzdornen“ über die Fahnen hinaus, was typisch für die Vertreter der Tribus Chaeturini ist. Diese Dornen sind aber im Vergleich zu anderem Arten relativ dünn und mit nur etwa einem Millimeter Länge kürzer als bei allen anderen Arten dieser Tribus.
Systematik Zunächst wurden die Arten dieser Gattung von den meisten Autoren der Gattung Chaetura zugeschlagen. David Lack unterstützte jedoch 1956 die Abtrennung des Philippinen- und des Papuaseglers in eine eigene Gattung und dieser Standpunkt wurde von späteren Autoren verifiziert und akzeptiert.[2]
Die folgenden Arten werden der Gattung zugerechnet:

The Philippine Needletail (Mearnsia picina) is a swift endemic to the Philippines. It occurs naturally in subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests.
This species is endangered and rare due to habitat loss. ...

NT Philippine Spinetail Mearnsia picina
... Distribution and population Mearnsia picina is endemic to the Philippines where it has been described as fairly common on Mindanao, Samar, Leyte, Biliran, Cebu and Negros, with a recent record from Tawitawi, but it appears to be scarce and local even at the best sites (Collar et al. 1999).
Ecology This species is apparently restricted to lowland forest, although little is known of its breeding habits or life history. It feeds high above forest, either alone or in small groups.
Threats The close association with lowland forests suggests that this species may be highly susceptible to habitat loss through commercial logging, conversion for agriculture and plantation forestry, as well as urban developments and mining. ...

The swifts are the most aerial of birds and some, like the Common Swift, even sleep and mate on the wing.
One group, the Swiftlets or Cave Swiftlets have even developed a form of echolocation for navigating through dark cave systems where they roost.
They are superficially similar to swallows but are completely unrelated to those passerine species, since swifts are in the separate order Apodiformes, which they formerly shared with the hummingbirds. ...

The Philippine spine-tailed swift (Mearnsia picina), also known as the Philippine needletail or Philippine spinetail, is a species of swift in the family Apodidae. It is endemic to the Philippines found in the islands of Mindanao and Visayas. Its natural habitat is tropical moist lowland forests. It is becoming rare due to habitat loss.
Description EBird describes the bird as "A little-known medium-sized, short-tailed swift found over forest, usually at higher elevations. Mainly black with obvious white throat and underwing patches. Wing shape is unusual, with a “cut-out” next to the body and pointed wing tips curved backward. Tail square, with spines that are difficult to see. Distinguished from other swifts in its range by the white marks under the wings. Voice unknown."[2]
It is differentiated from its southern counterpart by its cream colored throat, cheek and belly versus the bluish-white parts of the Southern silvery kingfisher.
Habitat and Conservation Status
It appears to be reliant upon forested streams below 1,000 m and will tolerate secondary and selectively logged forest and even streamside vegetation within coconut plantations, close to forest edge.
IUCN has assessed this bird as near threatened.This species' main threat is habitat loss with wholesale clearance of forest habitats as a result of logging, agricultural conversion and mining activities occurring within the range. The close association with lowland forests suggests that this species may be highly susceptible to habitat loss through commercial logging, conversion for agriculture and plantation forestry, as well as urban developments and mining ...
