Opis:: In Poland 6 species of Galliformes are breeding and 3 of them are open-farmland species of birds: Pheasant Phasianus colchicus, Partridge Perdix perdix and Quail Conturnix coturnix. In last years an exponential decline in number of birds in farmland is observed. The main reason of this situation is fast development of agriculture, using of fertilizers, farmland monocultures, soil erosion, the cutting of small field woods and increasing population of predators, such as the Foxes Vulpes vulpes, Racoon Dogs Nycteresus procyonoides or crows Corvus corone. In addition, the series of severe, cold winters and rainy springs caused limitation of insects availability, which are the main food of the young birds.

Opis:: We identified a second, perfectly preserved skeleton of the earliest known galliform bird, Gallinuloides wyomingensis Eastman. The new specimen clearly shows that G. wyomingensis does not belong to crown group Galliformes as assumed by earlier authors. In particular, the primitive presence of a deeply excavated, concave facies articularis scapularis at the coracoid precludes the inclusion of G. wyomingensis into crown group Galliformes. Gallinuloides wyomingensis is morphologically very similar to Paraortygoides messelensis Mayr, a nearly contemporaneous galliform from Messel, Germany. The exclusive presence of stem group galliform birds in pre−Oligocene deposits does not support the Gondwanan origin of Galliformes as evidenced by the Southern Hemisphere distribution of basal crown group members (Megapodiidae and Cracidae).
