Un abrazo Don Manuel! Daniel F. Lane Fernando Angulo En uno de mis primeros viajes a Perú, María Koepcke me sugirió ir al Museo Javier Prado Manuel A. Plenge es una de las personas más solicitadas cuando se trata de un sábado por la mañana para conocer a un entusiasta compañero de las aves, información sobre aves peruanas y es también uno de los más citados en los informes y Manuel Plenge. Manuel estaría allí usando su tiempo libre del trabajo para acceder a publicaciones sobre aves peruanas. Esto es el resultado de una dedicación y esfuerzo ejemplares de aves y de la literatura en el museo. Inmediatamente nos hicimos buenos admirables que empezaron desde bastante temprano en su vida y aún continúa, amigos y nuestra pasión compartida por el estudio de las aves, nos proporcionó dándonos herramientas que quienes trabajamos con aves peruanas apreciamos y muchas largas y felices tardes de discusión. Cuando estábamos en Lima, nosotros agradecemos profundamente. tres, Manuel, su esposa Isabel y yo a menudo salíamos en excursiones improvisadas alrededor de Lima. En uno de esos viajes, al sur de Lima colectamos una Aguja de Mar Irma Franke (Limosa haemastica), la primera para el Departamento de Lima. Los Plenge pronto se convirtieron en un gran apoyo en el Perú, que facilitó mucho del trabajo realizado por LSU, así como el de muchas otras instituciones. A medida que su interés científico por las aves se desarrollaba, se le hizo evidente a Manuel que su trabajo siempre iba a impedirle caer en un extenso trabajo de campo. Él vio que era necesario hacer accesible la bibliografía ornitológica para los científicos que trataban de explorar y estudiar las aves del Perú. Decidió dedicar gran parte de sus fines de semana y las horas en casa para enfocar sus esfuerzos científicos en la organización de la bibliografía de las aves del Perú. Al hacer esto, ha hecho de los estudios científicos algo más fácil y más completo para todos nosotros. Siempre está dispuesto a ayudar a cualquier persona desde cualquier lugar, que le solicite información sobre la bibliografía y la historia ornitológica del Perú y tiene amigos en todo el mundo. Lo que Manuel ha realizado le ha dado al Perú una un de las mejores y más completas bibliografías ornitológicas de cualquier lugar. Gracias, Manuel! John O’Neill 6 7 PRESENTACIÓN DEL AUTOR REVIEWS Thank you, Manuel. Most of you know Don Manuel, of course – he is a lifelong resident of Lima, and he has been a part of the ornithological community in Peru for decades. I don’t even know when or how Manuel developed his interest in birds – presumably, as the case for most of us, it was a passion he developed early, with no obvious origin. Don Manuel is in every way a national treasure. I consider it a privilege to have known Manuel – been friends with Manuel – for so many years, and to have benefited from his knowledge, generosity and friendship. And I hope that all of you today will understand how lucky you are to be able to work with Manuel and to benefit from his many contributions to ornithology in Peru. En mi juventud tenía un ligero interés en las aves observándolas esporádicamente Tom Schulenberg donde vivía en Miraflores, Lima. En algún momento a principios de los años 60`s, comencé a tener interés en la fotografía. Dos libros publicados por la “National Geographic Society” ilustrando aves a través mediante fotografías me inspiraron en comenzar a fotografiar aves. Encontré que no era tarea fácil. En ese entonces no existían libros/ Since I started in the world of birds in the 80’s, the name of Manuel Plenge was always guías para identificar las aves de Lima, ni qué decir del Perú.

  • Bird Ecology, Conservation, and Community Responses
    BIRD ECOLOGY, CONSERVATION, AND COMMUNITY RESPONSES TO LOGGING IN THE NORTHERN PERUVIAN AMAZON by NICO SUZANNE DAUPHINÉ (Under the Direction of Robert J. Cooper) ABSTRACT Understanding the responses of wildlife communities to logging and other human impacts in tropical forests is critical to the conservation of global biodiversity. I examined understory forest bird community responses to different intensities of non-mechanized commercial logging in two areas of the northern Peruvian Amazon: white-sand forest in the Allpahuayo-Mishana Reserve, and humid tropical forest in the Cordillera de Colán. I quantified vegetation structure using a modified circular plot method. I sampled birds using mist nets at a total of 21 lowland forest stands, comparing birds in logged forests 1, 5, and 9 years postharvest with those in unlogged forests using a sample effort of 4439 net-hours. I assumed not all species were detected and used sampling data to generate estimates of bird species richness and local extinction and turnover probabilities. During the course of fieldwork, I also made a preliminary inventory of birds in the northwest Cordillera de Colán and incidental observations of new nest and distributional records as well as threats and conservation measures for birds in the region. In both study areas, canopy cover was significantly higher in unlogged forest stands compared to logged forest stands. In Allpahuayo-Mishana, estimated bird species richness was highest in unlogged forest and lowest in forest regenerating 1-2 years post-logging. An estimated 24-80% of bird species in unlogged forest were absent from logged forest stands between 1 and 10 years postharvest.

  • TOUR REPORT Southwestern Amazonia 2017 Final
    For the first time on a Birdquest tour, the Holy Grail from the Brazilian Amazon, Rondonia Bushbird – male (Eduardo Patrial) BRAZIL’S SOUTHWESTERN AMAZONIA 7 / 11 - 24 JUNE 2017 LEADER: EDUARDO PATRIAL What an impressive and rewarding tour it was this inaugural Brazil’s Southwestern Amazonia. Sixteen days of fine Amazonian birding, exploring some of the most fascinating forests and campina habitats in three different Brazilian states: Rondonia, Amazonas and Acre. We recorded over five hundred species (536) with the exquisite taste of specialties from the Rondonia and Inambari endemism centres, respectively east bank and west bank of Rio Madeira. At least eight Birdquest lifer birds were acquired on this tour: the rare Rondonia Bushbird; Brazilian endemics White-breasted Antbird, Manicore Warbling Antbird, Aripuana Antwren and Chico’s Tyrannulet; also Buff-cheeked Tody-Flycatcher, Acre Tody-Tyrant and the amazing Rufous Twistwing. Our itinerary definitely put together one of the finest selections of Amazonian avifauna, though for a next trip there are probably few adjustments to be done. The pre-tour extension campsite brings you to very basic camping conditions, with company of some mosquitoes and relentless heat, but certainly a remarkable site for birding, the Igarapé São João really provided an amazing experience. All other sites 1 BirdQuest Tour Report: Brazil’s Southwestern Amazonia 2017 www.birdquest-tours.com visited on main tour provided considerably easy and very good birding. From the rich east part of Rondonia, the fascinating savannas and endless forests around Humaitá in Amazonas, and finally the impressive bamboo forest at Rio Branco in Acre, this tour focused the endemics from both sides of the medium Rio Madeira.

Sedano Cruz 2013 © Copyright by Raul E. Sedano Cruz 2013 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Avian diversification along elevational zones in the Tropical Andes: density-dependent cladogenesis of tanagers, ecological speciation and climate-driven population genetic differentiation in isolation by Raul E. Sedano Cruz Doctor of Philosophy in Biology University of California, Los Angeles, 2013 Professor Thomas B. Smith, Chair Examining patterns of biodiversity in the Tropical Andes provides insight into ecological and evolutionary processes leading to accumulation of lineages in montane regions. In the Tropical Andes, the dramatic changes in topographic and environmental conditions over short distances constitute an ideal system for studying morphological adaptation and geographic discontinuities. These patterns of biodiversity along elevational gradients in the Tropical Andes remains intriguing because there is no comprehensive theory that explains, species richness, high levels of endemism, and the extraordinary variation in traits that are ecologically relevant, in a ii region that occupies less than 1% of global surface. In particular, I examine phylogenies, eco morphology and population genetics of birds in the Tropical Andes. In chapter one, I use phylogenetic-based methods to assess slowdown in evolution of body size, changes among lineages in elevational-range overlap and rate-shifts in cladogenesis. Interspecific phylogenetic comparative analysis of the Core Tanager clade supports an overall density-dependent cladogenesis consistent with tenets of adaptive radiation.

  • Brazil's Eastern Amazonia
    The loud and impressive White Bellbird, one of the many highlights on the Brazil’s Eastern Amazonia 2017 tour (Eduardo Patrial) BRAZIL’S EASTERN AMAZONIA 8/16 – 26 AUGUST 2017 LEADER: EDUARDO PATRIAL This second edition of Brazil’s Eastern Amazonia was absolutely a phenomenal trip with over five hundred species recorded (514). Some adjustments happily facilitated the logistics (internal flights) a bit and we also could explore some areas around Belem this time, providing some extra good birds to our list. Our time at Amazonia National Park was good and we managed to get most of the important targets, despite the quite low bird activity noticed along the trails when we were there. Carajas National Forest on the other hand was very busy and produced an overwhelming cast of fine birds (and a Giant Armadillo!). Caxias in the end came again as good as it gets, and this time with the novelty of visiting a new site, Campo Maior, a place that reminds the lowlands from Pantanal. On this amazing tour we had the chance to enjoy the special avifauna from two important interfluvium in the Brazilian Amazon, the Madeira – Tapajos and Xingu – Tocantins; and also the specialties from a poorly covered corner in the Northeast region at Maranhão and Piauí states. Check out below the highlights from this successful adventure: Horned Screamer, Masked Duck, Chestnut- headed and Buff-browed Chachalacas, White-crested Guan, Bare-faced Curassow, King Vulture, Black-and- white and Ornate Hawk-Eagles, White and White-browed Hawks, Rufous-sided and Russet-crowned Crakes, Dark-winged Trumpeter (ssp.
