ISSN 2027-8918 e-ISSN 2256-5426 Enero-Julio 2016; 6 (1): 55-67 55 DOI: 10.18636/bioneotropical.v6i1.173 Birds of Reserva Natural Laguna Blanca, departamento San Pedro, Paraguay and the imminent threats to their conservation Las aves de la Reserva Natural Laguna Blanca, departamento San Pedro, Paraguay y las amenazas inminentes para su conservación Paul Smith1,2, Hugo del Castillo1,3, Kevin Guest2 Abstract Objective: The results of several years of inventory work at Reserva Natural Laguna Blanca, departamento San Pedro, Paraguay are presented. Results: A total of 301 species are recorded from the reserve, with an additional 18 species known to occur in the catchment area, already declared an Important Bird Area. Thirty four species are reported for the first time in the reserve.Conclusions: The presence of breeding populations of a number of threatened Cerrado birds makes the long term conservation of this site a priority for conservation in Paraguay. However the protected status of the reserve officially ended in January 2015 and the imminent threats that this vitally important bird area faces are detailed. Keywords: Cerrado, Eleothreptus candicans, IBA, Inventory, Grasslands. Resumen Objetivo: Se presentan los resultados de varios años de trabajos de inventario en la Reserva Natural Laguna Blanca, departamento San Pedro, Paraguay. Resultados: Un total de 301 especies de aves han sido registradas en la reserva, han sido comprobadas 18 más en la zona de amortiguamiento (oficialmente declarado un AICA). Treinta y cuatro especies se reportan por primera vez en la zona. Conclusiones: La presencia de poblaciones reproductivas de aves amenazadas del Cerrado indica que la conservación a largo plazo de esta reserva debe ser una prioridad para la conservación en Paraguay.

  • Distribution, Ecology, and Life History of the Pearly-Eyed Thrasher (Margarops Fuscatus)
    Adaptations of An Avian Supertramp: Distribution, Ecology, and Life History of the Pearly-Eyed Thrasher (Margarops fuscatus) Chapter 6: Survival and Dispersal The pearly-eyed thrasher has a wide geographical distribution, obtains regional and local abundance, and undergoes morphological plasticity on islands, especially at different elevations. It readily adapts to diverse habitats in noncompetitive situations. Its status as an avian supertramp becomes even more evident when one considers its proficiency in dispersing to and colonizing small, often sparsely The pearly-eye is a inhabited islands and disturbed habitats. long-lived species, Although rare in nature, an additional attribute of a supertramp would be a even for a tropical protracted lifetime once colonists become established. The pearly-eye possesses passerine. such an attribute. It is a long-lived species, even for a tropical passerine. This chapter treats adult thrasher survival, longevity, short- and long-range natal dispersal of the young, including the intrinsic and extrinsic characteristics of natal dispersers, and a comparison of the field techniques used in monitoring the spatiotemporal aspects of dispersal, e.g., observations, biotelemetry, and banding. Rounding out the chapter are some of the inherent and ecological factors influencing immature thrashers’ survival and dispersal, e.g., preferred habitat, diet, season, ectoparasites, and the effects of two major hurricanes, which resulted in food shortages following both disturbances. Annual Survival Rates (Rain-Forest Population) In the early 1990s, the tenet that tropical birds survive much longer than their north temperate counterparts, many of which are migratory, came into question (Karr et al. 1990). Whether or not the dogma can survive, however, awaits further empirical evidence from additional studies.
