  • Manaus, Brazil: Amazon Rainforest & River Islands

    Manaus, Brazil: Amazon Rainforest & River Islands

    MANAUS, BRAZIL: AMAZON RAINFOREST & RIVER ISLANDS OCTOBER 8-21, 2020 ©2019 The Brazilian city of Manaus is nestled deep in the heart of the incomparable Amazon rainforest, the greatest avian-rich ecosystem on the planet! This colorful, bustling city is perfectly positioned at the junction of the world’s two mightiest rivers, the Amazon and Rio Negro, where vast quantities of the warm, black water of the Negro collide with immense volumes of cooler, silt-laden whitewater of the Amazon flowing down from the Andes. The two rivers flow side-by-side for kilometers before completely mixing (due to the major difference in temperature), forming the famous “wedding of the waters” where two species of freshwater dolphins are regularly seen, including the legendary Pink River Dolphin (males reaching 185 kilograms (408 lbs.) and 2.5 meters (8.2 ft.) in length). A male Guianan Cock-of-the-rock on a lek has to be one of the world’s most spectacular birds. © Andrew Whittaker Manaus, Brazil: Amazon Rainforest & River Islands, Page 2 The Amazon and its immense waterways have formed many natural biogeographical barriers to countless birds and animals, allowing for heightened speciation over countless millions of years. The result is a legion of distinctly different yet sibling species found on opposite river banks. Prime examples on this trip include Gilded versus Black-spotted barbets, Amazonian versus Guianan trogon, Black-necked versus Guianan red-cotinga, White-browed versus Dusky purpletufts, White-necked versus Guianan puffbird, Orange-cheeked versus Caica parrots, White-cheeked versus Rufous-throated antbird, and Rufous-bellied versus Golden-sided euphonia, etc., thus making Manaus a perfect base for the exploration of the exotic mega rich avifauna of the unique heart of Amazonia.

    Amazon Cruise - Primates & Parrots Systematic List 1 – 17 May 2018 Text by Chris Collins with Assistance from Regina Ribeiro

    Amazon Cruise - Primates & Parrots Systematic List 1 – 17 May 2018 Text by Chris Collins with assistance from Regina Ribeiro. Photos by Chris Collins except where indicated. The taxonomy and English names used in this systematic list for the birds generally follows the recommendations of the IOC’s World Bird List with revisions made where an alternative name/taxonomy is considered more appropriate. For mammals, we have largely adopted the treatment proposed in the Handbook of Mammals of the World series by Lynx Editions, although again a few minor changes have been made. The systematic list includes all species seen by at least two people during the extension to Uacari Lodge (1-4 May), the Dolphin Swim excursion (5 May) and the expedition on Iracema (6-17 May). The species listed are based on the nightly logs held both on the extension and whilst on Iracema. MAMMALS Brown-eared Opossum Caluromys lanatus Also sometimes known as the Western Woolly Opossum, two were seen on one of our night trips at Uacari Lodge (3 May) with the same number logged five days later during the night excursion at Laguinho Channel Channel, near the small town of Nova Olinda do Norte on the eastern bank of the Madeira River. Northern Black-eared Opossum Didelphis marsupialis One was found on 3 May whilst on the night time canoe trip at Uacari Lodge. Pale-throated Sloth Bradypus tridactylus A single individual was seen in the grounds of the Tropical Hotel, Manaus on 6 May. Three-toed (Brown-throated) Sloth Bradypus variegatus By far the commonest sloth species on the trip and recorded on seven dates during the main tour and extension, with the highest count being on our night excursion at Xiboraninha (6 May) where at least eighteen were seen.

Biota Neotrop. 11(3): http://www.biotaneotropica.org.br/v11n3/en/abstract?in ventory+bn00911032011 Abstract: We report the results of a short expedition to the remote headwaters of the River Rewa, a tributary of the River Essequibo in the Rupununi, Southern Guyana. We used a combination of camera trapping, mist netting and spot count surveys to document the mammalian and avian diversity found in the region. We recorded a total of 33 mammal species including all 8 of Guyana’s monkey species as well as threatened species such as lowland tapir (Tapirus terrestris), giant otter (Pteronura brasiliensis) and bush dog (Speothos venaticus). We recorded a minimum population size of 35 giant otters in five packs along the 95 km of river surveyed. In total we observed 193 bird species from 47 families. With the inclusion of Smithsonian Institution data from 2006, the bird species list for the Rewa Head rises to 250 from 54 families. These include 10 Guiana Shield endemics and two species recorded as rare throughout their ranges: the harpy eagle (Harpia harpyja) and crested eagle (Morphnus guianensis).

Accepted on 14 December 2017. ABSTRACT: Although species lists from throughout Amazonia have become available, relatively complete inventories based on long- term work remain rare. Longitudinal comparisons at well-studied sites provide the best opportunities for describing communities and identifying changes in regional avifaunas. Within central Amazonia, no region has received as much consistent ornithological coverage as the terra firme forests north of Manaus, Brazil, at the Biological Dynamics of Forest Fragments Project (BDFFP). Here we provide an updated list of the area, including notes on all species added between 1997 and 2017. We recorded 21 species new for the site, most of which (>75%) are birds that prefer várzea or second-growth forest. This brings the cumulative BDFFP list up to 409 species, the majority (66%) of which inhabit primary terra firme forest. Together, this confirms that the regional terra firme community had been well-characterized by the 1990s, and that species additions to the list over the last 20 years are consistent with a changing landscape as urbanization, agriculture, and second-growth spread from Manaus.

STOUFFER Department of Biological Sciences, Southeastern Louisiana University, Hammond, LA 70402-0736 Abstract. When primary forest in central Amazonia is cut and abandoned,the plant successionis dominated by Cecropia spp., whereas when it is cut and burned for pastures, the regrowth vegetation is dominated by Vismia spp. The bird communities of these two regrowth forest types were sampled at six sites (9-13 years old) using mist-nets and obser- vations. Bird speciesrichness was similar between the two forest types. Cecropia regrowth, however, was richer for strictly forest bird species than was Vismia regrowth. Mixed-flock species and ant-following birds were significantly more abundantin the Cecropiu second growth, whereas nonforest insectivores and omnivores were more common in Vismia re- growth. The type of regrowth was found to influence bird speciescomposition in the study sites. These results suggestthat the type of human disturbancehas an important role in determining the bird communitiesthat occupy early successionalareas in central Amazonia.
