  • Elbroch Et Al 2017 Benefiting from Carrion Provided by Pumas
    Biological Conservation 215 (2017) 123–131 Contents lists available at ScienceDirect Biological Conservation journal homepage: www.elsevier.com/locate/biocon Short communication Vertebrate diversity benefiting from carrion provided by pumas and other MARK subordinate, apex felids ⁎ L. Mark Elbroch , Connor O'Malley, Michelle Peziol, Howard B. Quigley Panthera, 8 West 40th Street, 18th Floor, New York, NY 10018, USA ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Keywords: Carrion promotes biodiversity and ecosystem stability, and large carnivores provide this resource throughout the Biodiversity year. In particular, apex felids subordinate to other carnivores contribute more carrion to ecological commu- Carnivores nities than other predators. We measured vertebrate scavenger diversity at puma (Puma concolor) kills in the Food webs Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, and utilized a model-comparison approach to determine what variables influ- Scavenging enced scavenger diversity (Shannon's H) at carcasses. We documented the highest vertebrate scavenger diversity of any study to date (39 birds and mammals). Scavengers represented 10.9% of local birds and 28.3% of local mammals, emphasizing the diversity of food-web vectors supported by pumas, and the positive contributions of pumas and potentially other subordinate, apex felids to ecological stability. Scavenger diversity at carcasses was most influenced by the length of time the carcass was sampled, and the biological variables, temperature and prey weight. Nevertheless, diversity was relatively consistent across carcasses. We also identified six additional stalk- and-ambush carnivores weighing > 20 kg, that feed on prey larger than themselves, and are subordinate to other predators. Together with pumas, these seven felids may provide distinctive ecological functions through their disproportionate production of carrion and subsequent contributions to biodiversity.

  • Olive Warbler (Peucedramus Taeniatus)
    Olive Warbler (Peucedramus taeniatus) NMPIF level: Biodiversity Conservation Concern, Level 2 (BC2) NMPIF assessment score: 14 National PIF status: No special status New Mexico BCRs: 34 Primary breeding habitat(s): Mixed Conifer Forest, Ponderosa Pine Forest, primarily above 7,000 feet (both habitats in BCR 34 only) Summary of Concern Olive Warbler is a coniferous forest species of highland Mexico and Central America. At the northern limit of its distribution in southern New Mexico, it requires open stands of mature pine and mixed conifer forest. Associated Species Greater Pewee (BC2), Hutton's Vireo, Mexican Chickadee (BC2), Pygmy Nuthatch (SC2), Western Bluebird (SC2), Yellow-rumped Warbler, Grace's Warbler (SC1), Red-faced Warbler (SC1), Chipping Sparrow, Dark-eyed Junco, Red Crossbill Distribution Olive Warbler is a pine-associated species primarily of highland Central America and Mexico. Its breeding range extends north to east-central Arizona and southwestern New Mexico. Populations in the United States and northern Mexico are at least partially migratory, although winter records exist in New Mexico and Arizona. In New Mexico, Olive Warblers breed across the southern Mogollon Rim and associated isolated mountains, from the Mogollon, Magdalena, and Black ranges south (Lowther and Nocedal 1997, Parmeter et al. 2002). Ecology and Habitat Requirements Olive Warbler occupies both pine forest and pine-oak woodlands in Mexico and Central America. In the southwest, the species occurs mostly in ponderosa pine and mixed conifer forest which contain a component of oak understory. Nests are located high (30-70 feet) in conifers and far from the trunk, in the terminal needles of pine or fir boughs.

Its use as a meaningful taxonomic indicator has been defunct for well over a century, as the “warblers” encompass hundreds of thin-billed, insectivorous passerines across more than a dozen families worldwide. This is not itself an issue, as many other passerine names (flycatcher, tanager, sparrow, etc.) share this common name “polyphyly”, and conventions or modifiers are widely used to designate and separate families that include multiple groups.

  • Elegant Trogon (Trogon Elegans)
    Elegant Trogon (Trogon elegans) NMPIF level: Biodiversity Conservation Concern, Level 1 (BC1) NMPIF assessment score: 16 NM stewardship responsibility: Low National PIF status: Watch List New Mexico BCRs: 34 Primary breeding habitat(s): Southwest Riparian Other habitats used: Madrean Pine-Oak Woodland (foraging) Summary of Concern Elegant Trogon is primarily a Mexican species with a limited breeding population in several mountain ranges of southeast Arizona, with at most a few pair breeding regularly in the Peloncillo Mountains of New Mexico. It requires moist riparian canyons with a sycamore component and upland areas of arid woodland. Associated Species Zone-tailed Hawk, Elf Owl (SC1), Black-chinned Hummingbird (SC2), Arizona Woodpecker (BC2), Northern Flicker, Dusky-capped Flycatcher, Hepatic Tanager, Brown-crested Flycatcher, Magnificent Hummingbird (BC2) Distribution Elegant Trogon is resident along the Pacific slope of Mexico from Sonora to Oaxaca, and in eastern Mexico from central Tamaulipas and southeast Nuevo León south to Puebla and Oaxaca (Howell and Webb 1995). A separate population is also resident in portions of Guatemala, El Salvador, and the interior of Honduras, south to Costa Rica. In summer, the breeding range extends a fairly short distance north into southeast Arizona. In New Mexico, this species is present only in the Peloncillo Mountains in southwest Hidalgo County (Kunzmann et al. 1998, Parmeter et al. 2002). Ecology and Habitat Requirements Across its range in Mexico and Central America, Elegant Trogon occupies a range of lowland, foothill and mountain habitats, including high elevation montane forests, semi-arid pine-oak woodland, lowland tropical deciduous forest and thorn forest. In southeast Arizona, where breeding populations have been studied, it is associated with sycamore- or high-elevation cottonwood-dominated riparian vegetation in a surrounding matrix of pinyon-juniper, pine-oak woodland or upland forest (Kunzmann et al.
