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. -

The identification of predators of birds’ nests, crucial to a better understanding of predator-prey interac- tions, remains poorly known. Here we provide evidence that birds, and especially passerines, may depredate birds’ nests in the Cerrado (Neotropical Savannah) of Central Brazil. Data was collected primarily in a Conservation Unit (Estação Ecológica de Águas Emendadas) during the breeding season, between 2003 and 2007. We report and discuss details on 14 events of nest predation, 12 of which by passerines, mostly by curl-crested jays – Cyanocorax cristatellus (Temminck, 1823). The results of our study suggest that the role of birds as nest predators in the Cerrado has been underestimated and needs to be further investigated. KEY WORDS. Cerrado; bird; passerine. -

Accepted on 23 August 2016. ABSTRACT: Pantanal is the world largest inland wetland and is internationally renowned by its high species diversity, but low level of endemism. Extensive areas of the Pantanal have never been subject to adequate sampling, and we still have much to learn about the composition and distribution of the biota found in this threatened biogeographic province. In this paper we present the results of a long term inventory conducted in Pirizal region since 1999. We recorded 343 bird species, 54.8% of them documented with specimens. A significant Amazonian influence was observed in the composition of the bird community sampled. Only two threatened species were recorded: Penelope ochrogaster and Anodorhynchus hyacinthinus. Noteworthy records include Ictinia mississippiensis, Attila phoenicurus, Empidonax alnorum, Myiothlypis leucophrys, Dolichonyx oryzivorus and Catharus fuscescens. KEY-WORDS: avifauna, inventory, Neotropical, wetland. INTRODUCTION frequently exceed 40°C, hordes of mosquitoes and ticks, flooded habitats), resulted in a small number of biological Pantanal is the world largest inland wetland, covering inventories and, consequently, this wetland is full of about 160,000 km2 of southwestern Brazil, eastern collecting gaps. -

Birds of Reserva Natural Laguna Blanca, Departamento San Pedro, Paraguay and the Imminent Threats to Their Conservation
Rev. Biodivers. Neotrop. 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. -

Guyana: Unspoiled Wilderness | Species List January 30 – February 11, 2020 | Compiled by Dave Mehlman With guides Ron Allicock and Dave Mehlman and 8 participants: David, Joan, Judy, Livia, Nate, Robert, Robin, and Steve (HO) = Distinctive enough to be counted as heard only (GO) = Seen by guides only (I) = Introduced Sites visited: Cara Lodge Hotel, Georgetown Botanical Garden, Mahaica River, Ogle Seawall, Kaieteur Falls, Surama Ecolodge, MYC Camp, Harpy Eagle Trail, Surama entrance road, Burro-Burro River Trail, Atta Rainforest Lodge & Canopy Walkway, Atta Cock-of-the-Rock lek, Atta White Sand Forest, Caiman House Lodge, Rupununi River, Karasabai, Manari Ranch, and Takatu River. Summary: 321 species of birds, 6 species of mammals, 5 species of reptiles and amphibians, 9 species of notable insects, and 1 species of fish positively identified. BIRDS (321 species recorded, of which 7 were heard only and 12 seen by guides only): TINAMOUS (Tinamidae) (2) Little Tinamou (Crypturellus soui): (HO), heard on both full days near Surama. Undulated Tinamou (Crypturellus undulatus): heard and seen by a few on the Rupununi River boat trip. DUCKS, GEESE AND SWANS (Anatidae) (4) White-faced Whistling-Duck (Dendrocygna viduata): seen, primarily at a distance and while flying, on the way to and around the savannas at Caiman House. Black-bellied Whistling-Duck (Dendrocygna autumnalis): small group observed in wetland on way to Narish’s house for Mahaica River boat trip. Muscovy Duck (Cairina moschata): seen at different places on 4 days, mostly small groups flying.
