About: Guillemot

An Entity of Type: Band_MusicGroup, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Guillemot is the common name for several species of seabird in the Alcidae or auk family (part of the order Charadriiformes). In British use, the term comprises two genera: Uria and Cepphus. In North America the Uria species are called murres and only the Cepphus species are called "guillemots". This word of French origin derives from a form of the name William, cf. French: Guillaume. The three living species of Cepphus form a tribe of their own: Cepphini. They are smaller than the Uria species and have black bellies, rounder heads and bright red feet.

  • Guillemot is the common name for several species of seabird in the Alcidae or auk family (part of the order Charadriiformes). In British use, the term comprises two genera: Uria and Cepphus. In North America the Uria species are called murres and only the Cepphus species are called "guillemots". This word of French origin derives from a form of the name William, cf. French: Guillaume. The two living species of Uria, together with the razorbill, dovekie, and the extinct great auk, make up the tribe Alcini. They have distinctly white bellies, thicker and longer bills than Cepphus, and form very dense colonies on cliffs during the reproductive season. Guillemot eggs are large (around 11% of female weight), pyriform in shape, and colourful, making them attractive targets for egg collectors. The three living species of Cepphus form a tribe of their own: Cepphini. They are smaller than the Uria species and have black bellies, rounder heads and bright red feet. (en)
  • Guillemot est le nom vernaculaire de plusieurs espèces d’oiseaux de mer de l’hémisphère nord de la famille des alcidés. D’après Buffon, ce terme proviendrait de son nom anglais qui signifierait niais en anglais. Cependant, d’après Pierre Belon, ce terme proviendrait du prénom Guillaume. (fr)
  • Zeekoeten is de informele benaming voor een aantal soorten zeevogels uit de familie van de alken uit de orde van de steltloperachtigen. Wanneer de naam geen verdere toevoeging heeft, wordt doorgaans de Uria aalge ('gewone' Zeekoet) bedoeld. Er zijn zeekoeten in twee geslachten, Uria en Cepphus. (nl)
