The Conservation Status of Birds on the Cordillera De Colan, Peru
Bird Conservation International (1997) 7:181-195. © BirdLife International 1997 The conservation status of birds on the Cordillera de Colan, Peru C. W. N. DAVIES, R. BARNES, S. H. M. BUTCHART, M. FERNANDEZ and N. SEDDON Summary In July and August 1994, we surveyed two areas in the south of the Cordillera de Colan, Amazonas department, Peru, above the north bank of the rio Utcubamba. We found a high rate of deforestation, with trees being felled for timber, forest being cleared for the cultivation of cash crops, and elfin forest being burned for pasture. Most of the forest on the mountain range may have been cleared in 10 years. We recorded a number of important bird species, highlighting the significance of the area for the conservation of biodiversity; globally threatened birds included Peruvian Pigeon Columba oenops, Military Macaw Am militaris and Royal Sunangel Heliangelus regalis. Elfin forest is under particular threat in the area, but probably still holds species such as Long-whiskered Owlet Xenoglaux lowcryi. We recommend that a protected area containing areas of cloud-forest and elfin forest be established on the Cordillera de Colan. Introduction The Andean mountain chain is one of the most biologically diverse areas of the world. ICBP (1992) identified 23 Endemic Bird Areas (EBAs) in the Andes, reflecting a pattern of endemism corresponding well with data on other animal and plant groups (ICBP 1992). The tropical Andes must be considered a high priority for conservation, because of their high biodiversity and severe environmental degradation. In Peru, there are several large effectively protected areas of wet montane forest in the south and centre the country, the northernmost being Rio Abiseo National Park centred at 8°S, but the only protected area of wet montane forest in the north is the Alto Mayo Protection Forest which aims at watershed rather than biological resource conservation (INRENA 1995). -
La Perla Acquisition, Abra Patricia Reserve in Peru
La Perla Acquisition, Abra Patricia Reserve in Peru A Tropical Forest Forever Fund Grant Continuing with our efforts to protect wintering grounds for nearctic/neotropical migrants, our Tropical Forest Forever Fund,awarded a grant of $25,000 to American Bird Conservancy and ECOAN to acquire a significant forest addition to the Abra Patricia Reserve in Peru: the La Perla tract (shown in red on the map below). The Abra Patricia-Alto Nieva Private Conservation Area is located at mid- altitude in the foothills of the Andes, in the Peruvian Yungas where bird diversity is among the highest on Earth. The reserve protects parts of the upper watershed and headwaters of the Amazon River which is threatened by accessibility through a major paved road as well as the construction of new roads, bringing logging, agriculture, and cattle ranching as well as poaching of wildlife and orchids. A total of 6,690 acres has been acquired for this reserve to protect habitat for migratory and threatened bird species including the endangered Long-Whiskered Owlet and the Ochre-fronted Antpitta. The reserve is owned and managed by ECOAN, the Andean Ecosystem Association which works to conserve birds and other wildlife and their ecosystems in the Andes of Peru. The American Bird Conservancy and ECOAN are in the final stages of acquiring the core tracts of forest needed to complete the Abra Patricia Reserve and the 86- acre La Perla tract is a significant addition. It is located on the southern edge of the reserve and has about 60% forest cover. The World Bank and World Wildlife Fund rank the Peruvian Yungas ecoregion among the richest ecosystems in the world with at least 7,000 species of flowering plants and an exceptional concentration of endemic plant and animal species. -
Northern Peru Marañon Endemics & Marvelous Spatuletail 4Th to 25Th September 2016
Northern Peru Marañon Endemics & Marvelous Spatuletail 4th to 25th September 2016 Marañón Crescentchest by Dubi Shapiro This tour just gets better and better. This year the 7 participants, Rob and Baldomero enjoyed a bird filled trip that found 723 species of birds. We had particular success with some tricky groups, finding 12 Rails and Crakes (all but 1 being seen!), 11 Antpittas (8 seen), 90 Tanagers and allies, 71 Hummingbirds, 95 Flycatchers. We also found many of the iconic endemic species of Northern Peru, such as White-winged Guan, Peruvian Plantcutter, Marañón Crescentchest, Marvellous Spatuletail, Pale-billed Antpitta, Long-whiskered Owlet, Royal Sunangel, Koepcke’s Hermit, Ash-throated RBL Northern Peru Trip Report 2016 2 Antwren, Koepcke’s Screech Owl, Yellow-faced Parrotlet, Grey-bellied Comet and 3 species of Inca Finch. We also found more widely distributed, but always special, species like Andean Condor, King Vulture, Agami Heron and Long-tailed Potoo on what was a very successful tour. Top 10 Birds 1. Marañón Crescentchest 2. Spotted Rail 3. Stygian Owl 4. Ash-throated Antwren 5. Stripe-headed Antpitta 6. Ochre-fronted Antpitta 7. Grey-bellied Comet 8. Long-tailed Potoo 9. Jelski’s Chat-Tyrant 10. = Chestnut-backed Thornbird, Yellow-breasted Brush Finch You know it has been a good tour when neither Marvellous Spatuletail nor Long-whiskered Owlet make the top 10 of birds seen! Day 1: 4 September: Pacific coast and Chaparri Upon meeting, we headed straight towards the coast and birded the fields near Monsefue, quickly finding Coastal Miner. Our main quarry proved trickier and we had to scan a lot of fields before eventually finding a distant flock of Tawny-throated Dotterel; we walked closer, getting nice looks at a flock of 24 of the near-endemic pallidus subspecies of this cracking shorebird. -
Reversed Plumage Ontogeny in a Female Hummingbird: Implications for the Evolution of Iridescent Colours and Sexual Dichromatisrn
Biological Journal ofthe Linnean Society (1992), 47: 183-195. With 3 figures Reversed plumage ontogeny in a female hummingbird: implications for the evolution of iridescent colours and sexual dichromatisrn ROBERT BLEIWEISS Department of <ooLog~ and the zoological Museum, University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI 53706, U.S.A. Received 15 Nouember 1990, accepted for publication 18 April 1991 In polygynous birds, bright plumage is typically more extensive in the sexually competitive males and develops at or after sexual maturity. These patterns, coupled with the importance of male plumage in sexual displays, fostered the traditional hypothesis that bright plumages and sexual dichromatism develop through the actions of sexual selection on males. This view remains problematic for hummingbirds, all of which are polygynous, because their bright iridescent plumages are also important non-sexual signals associated with dominance at floral nectar sources. Here I show that female amethyst-throated sunangels [Heliangelus amethysticollis (d’Orbigny & Lafresnaye)], moult from an immature plumage with an iridescent gorget to an adult plumage with a non-iridescent gorget. This ‘reversed’ ontogeny contradicts the notion that iridescent plumage has a sexual function because sexual selection in polygynous birds should be lowest among non- reproductive immature females. Moreover, loss of iridescent plumage in adult females indicates that adult sexual dichromatism in H. amethysticolfzs is due in large part to changes in female ontogeny. I suggest that both the ontogeny and sexual dichromatism evolved in response to competition for nectar KEY WORDS:-Hummingbird - moult - ontogeny - iridescence - sexual selection - feeding ecology.
