Perninae
The raptor subfamily Perninae includes a number of medium-sized broad-winged species. These are birds of warmer climates, although the Pernis species (European honey buzzard and crested honey buzzard) have a more extensive range.

| Kingdom: | Animalia |
| Phylum: | Chordata |
| Class: | Aves |
| Order: | Accipitriformes |
| Family: | Accipitridae |
| Subfamily: | Perninae Blyth, 1851 |
Several of the species in this group eat mainly insects, and the honey-buzzards are specialist feeders on wasp larvae. Reptiles are also taken by several birds in this group.
Several authorities consider Gypaetinae to be within or even synonymous with Perninae.[1]

gollark: Yes, inasmuch as far as I know you need various more advanced calculus things to do much of that, as well as large quantities of other maths you don't appear to know.
gollark: One basic use is that you can calculate the rate of change of things, because that's basically what the derivative is. For example, velocity is rate of change of displacement, so you can go from displacement to velocity (to acceleration, which is rate of change of velocity, and so on), or integrate to go the other way.
gollark: Having vaguely looked at how they work, I don't think you can do that unless you know the frequency of sound in question.
gollark: Have you tried expanding the brackets?
gollark: Roughly.
