LOS DERECHOS HUMANOS EN EL DEPARTAMENTO DE SANTANDERSANTANDER VICEPRESIDENCIA DE LA REPÚBLICA PROGRAMA PRESIDENCIAL DE DERECHOS HUMANOS Y DERECHO INTERNACIONAL HUMANITARIO VICEPRESIDENCIA DE LA REPUBLICA Director: Carlos Franco E. Coordinador Área de Políticas y Coordinación Interinstitucional: Tomas Concha Coordinadora Observatorio de Derechos Humanos: Ana Silvia Linder Diseño carátula: Patricia Lora Diagramación: Patricia Lora SANTANDERSANTANDER El departamento de Santander ocupa una superficie de 30.537 Km2 que representa el 2,7% del territorio nacional. Su capital es Bucaramanga habitada por aproximadamente 536.449 habitantes. Su población es de 2’014.590 santandereanos que representan el 4,6% del total de colombianos. Sus cabeceras municipales concentran 1’418.736 pobladores y el resto del departamento 595.854. El PIB del departamento es de $11,5 billones de pesos, lo que representa una participación a nivel nacional del 6,15%[1]. En la mayor parte de Santander se produce cacao, tabaco, piña y guayaba, y en menor proporción fique, papaya y palma africana. En el terreno industrial se destaca la producción de alimentos y bebidas; sobresale la del petróleo en el primer complejo petrolero del país en Barrancabermeja. Sus indudables riquezas naturales y su potencial económico en lo que se refiere a actividades de explotación, son la fuente del relativo alto nivel de desarrollo que posee la región y el principal factor que la constituye en una zona estratégica y atractiva para los grupos armados irregulares. Los beneficios financieros que los mismos pueden obtener en la región dada la producción agrícola y ganadera así como la explotación petrolera en Barrancabermeja especialmente, son una invitación a hacer presencia para los diferentes grupos ilegales. -
Territory Size and Stability in a Sedentary Neotropical Passerine: Is Resource Partitioning a Necessary Condition?
J. Field Ornithol. 76(4):395±401, 2005 Territory size and stability in a sedentary neotropical passerine: is resource partitioning a necessary condition? Janet V. Gorrell,1 Gary Ritchison,1,3 and Eugene S. Morton2 1 Department of Biological Sciences, Eastern Kentucky University, Richmond, Kentucky 40475 USA 2 Hemlock Hill Field Station, 22318 Teepleville Flats Road, Cambridge Springs, Pennsylvania 16403 USA Received 9 April 2004; accepted 11 April 2005 ABSTRACT. Long-term pair bonds and defense of territories year-round are common among tropical passer- ines. The boundaries of these territories tend to be stable, perhaps re¯ecting the need to defend an area that, regardless of conditions, provides suf®cient food resources. If, however, these stable territories are not, even tem- porarily, suf®ciently large, then intra-pair competition for available food may result, particularly in species with no sexual size dimorphism. With such competition, sex-speci®c differences in foraging behavior may result. Male and female Dusky Antbirds (Cercomacra tyrannina) are not size dimorphic, and pairs jointly defend territories throughout the year. Our objective was to determine if paired Dusky Antbirds exhibited sex-speci®c differences in foraging behavior. Foraging antbirds were observed in central Panama from February±July 2002 to determine if pairs par- titioned food resources. Males and females exhibited no differences in foraging behavior, with individuals of both sexes foraging at similar heights and using the same foraging maneuvers (glean, probe, and sally) and substrates (leaves, rolled leaves, and woody surfaces). These results suggest that Dusky Antbirds do not partition resources and that territory switching, rather than resource partitioning, may be the means by which they gain access to additional food resources. -

Serra Dos Tucanos, Brazil 2017 BIRDS
Field Guides Tour Report Serra dos Tucanos, Brazil 2017 Oct 23, 2017 to Nov 2, 2017 Marcelo Padua For our tour description, itinerary, past triplists, dates, fees, and more, please VISIT OUR TOUR PAGE. We made quite a journey to find this bird! The Three-toed Jacamar is an Atlantic Forest endemic, and we were able to get some super looks at it. Photo by participant Ben Oko. As a tour leader, one of the most common questions I get from participants is, which "tour is my favorite?". Although this is a question with no answer as each tour is different, and I love all the tours I lead, there are certain aspects of a tour that I enjoy more than others, and this tour checks the box for most of them. It starts with the facts that the climate is mild and we usually do not face extreme temperatures, but it also has to do with the abundance of species of birds, many of which are endemic, the comfort of the lodge that offers great food and lovely rooms surrounded by great habitat, the diversity of habitats, and the fact that you get to settle in to a room for long enough to actually enjoy it and unpack your suitcase. This year's tour was a great success. We found most of the targets we set out to find, we enjoyed a good mix of people with great camaraderie, and the weather was kind to us for the most part. So even though I can't choose a favorite tour, I can say with certainty that if I ever had to choose, this would certainly be one of the top contenders. -
An Integrative Approach to Species-Level Systematics Reveals the Depth of Diversification in an Andean Thamnophilid, the Long-Tailed Antbird
The Condor 114(3):571–583 The Cooper Ornithological Society 2012 AN INTEGRATIVE APPROACH TO SPECIES-LEVEL SYSTEMATICS REVEALS THE DEPTH OF DIVERSIFICATION IN AN ANDEAN THAMNOPHILID, THE LONG-TAILED ANTBIRD MORTON L. ISLER1,3, ANDRÉS M. CUERVO2, GUSTAVO A, BRAVO2, AND RObb T. BRUMFIELD2 1Department of Vertebrate Zoology, MRC-116, National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, P. O. Box 37012, Washington, DC 20013 2 Department of Biological Sciences and Museum of Natural Science, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, LA 70803 Abstract. The geographic range of the Long-tailed Antbird (Drymophila caudata) extends from the Paria Mountains of Venezuela south through the Andes to northern Bolivia, a geographic and elevational distribution unique in the antbirds (Thamnophilidae). Plumage variation among most populations is not obvious, and although eight subspecies have been described, half have been synonymized. We took a multidimensional approach to reexamining the taxonomy of the complex. We identified lineages by evaluating divergence in mtDNA, and defined study groups within them to take into account previously described plumage differences. We then assessed the taxonomic status of principal lineages and study groups by comparing vocal differences among them to established taxonomic “yardsticks” for thamnophilid antbirds. Finally, we related taxa to the ecology of the regions in which they occur. The outcomes revealed substantial diversification, sufficient for recognition of four species, three restricted to the north and one widespread along the main body of the Andes extending from northwestern Colombia south to Bolivia. Speciation in Andean Drymophila antbirds is partially associated with elevational and environmental divergence. The results provide valuable inputs to mapping and understanding avian evolution in the Andes and demonstrate the value of a multifaceted approach in solving taxonomic problems. -

Birding the Atlantic Rainforest, South-East Brazil Itororo Lodge and Regua 11Th – 20Th March 2018
BIRDING THE ATLANTIC RAINFOREST, SOUTH-EAST BRAZIL ITORORO LODGE AND REGUA 11TH – 20TH MARCH 2018 White-barred Piculet (©Andy Foster) Guided and report compiled by Andy Foster www.serradostucanos.com.br Sunday 11th March The following 10 day tour was a private trip for a group of 4 friends. We all flew in from the UK on a BA flight landing the night of the 10th and stayed in the Linx Hotel located close to the International airport in Rio de Janeiro. We met up for breakfast at 07.00 and by 08.00 our driver had arrived to take us for the 2.5 hour drive to Itororo Lodge where we were to spend our first 6 nights birding the higher elevations of the Serra do Mar Mountains. On the journey up we saw Magnificent Frigatebird, Cocoi Heron, Great White Egret, Black-crowned Night Heron, Neotropic Cormorant and Roadside Hawk. By 10.30 we had arrived at the lodge and were greeted by Bettina and Rainer who would be our hosts for the next week. The feeders were busy at the lodge and we were soon picking up new species including Azure-shouldered Tanager, Brassy-breasted Tanager, Black-goggled Tanager, Sayaca Tanager, Ruby- crowned Tanager, Golden-chevroned Tanager, Magpie Tanager, Burnished-buff Tanager, Plain Parakeet, Maroon-bellied Parakeet, Rufous-bellied Thrush, Green-winged Saltator, Pale-breasted Thrush, Violet- capped Woodnymph, Black Jacobin, Scale-throated Hermit, Sombre Hummingbird, Brazilian Ruby and White-throated Hummingbird…. not bad for the first 30 minutes! We spent the last hour or so before lunch getting to grips with the feeder birds, we also picked up brief but good views of a Black-Hawk Eagle as it flew through the lodge gardens. -

Diagnosis and Observations of a Hybrid Hummingbird (Metallura Tyrianthina X Aglaiocercus Kingi) in the Eastern Andes of Colombia F
Rev. Acad. Colomb. Cienc. Ex. Fis. Nat. 39(153):481-490, octubre-diciembre de 2015 Hybrid hummingbird at Rogitama, Boyacá doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.18257/raccefyn.260 Ciencias naturales Diagnosis and observations of a hybrid hummingbird (Metallura tyrianthina x Aglaiocercus kingi) in the Eastern Andes of Colombia F. Gary Stiles*, José Oswaldo Cortés-Herrera Instituto de Ciencias Naturales, Universidad Nacional de Colombia, Bogotá, Colombia Abstract An unusual, strikingly colored male hummingbird present for several months in the Rogitama Biodiversity Reserve in Boyacá, Colombia created considerable media attention. It was initially suggested that the bird might represent the rediscovery of the Bogotá Sunangel, Heliangelus zusii. However, a later study of its DNA identified H. zusii as a member of a clade that includes Aglaiocercus and Taphrolesbia. Given the many differences in plumage from the Rogitama hummingbird, this hypothesis was rejected. Three hypotheses regarding its identity were examined in detail: it could represent an unusually colored male of Aglaiocercus kingi, a hybrid between two local species, or an undescribed species. We observed this bird’s foraging and interactions with other hummingbirds, recorded its song and captured it to describe in detail its plumage and take morphological measurements, after which it was released. We rejected all hypotheses except that of a hybrid, and concluded that A. kingi and Metallura tyrianthina were its probable parents. In contrast to its plumage and morphometrics, its song was unlike those of its putative parents, possibly representing a transgressive character. The same may be true of the bluish coloration (termed “hybrid bluing”) that characterized several hybrids between green-backed parental species, including the Rogitama hummingbird. -
