Foram registradas um total de 450 espécies de aves, das quais 63 consideradas de interesse para conservação, como Leucopternis lacernulatus, Harpyhaliaetus coronatus, Triclaria malachitacea, Myrmotherula minor, Dacnis nigripes, Sporophila frontalis e S. falcirostris. A reserva também está desenvolvendo um projeto de reintrodução dos localmente extintos Crax blumembachii e Aburria jacutinga, e de reforço das populações locais de Tinamus solitarius.

    Geographic Variation and Species Limits in Middle American Woodnymphs (Thalurania)

    THEWILSONBULLETIN A QUARTERLY MAGAZINE OF ORNITHOLOGY Published by the Wilson Ornithological Society VOL. 104, No. 2 JUNE 1992 PAGES 205-388 Wilson Bull., 104(2), 1992, pp. 205-219 GEOGRAPHIC VARIATION AND SPECIES LIMITS IN MIDDLE AMERICAN WOODNYMPHS (THALURANIA) PATRICIA ESCALANTE-PLIEGO ’ AND A. TOWNSEND PETERSON* ABSTRACT.- We analyzed geographic variation in morphology and plumage coloration in male woodnymphs of the genus Thalurunia in Middle America and northwestern South America. Morphometric characters distinguish the disjunct western Mexican populations from populations to the south. Three groups are distinguished by discrete plumage coloration characters. We propose that these groups be recognized as separate species: T. ridgwuyiof western Mexico; T. colombicaof Central America south to western Panama and disjunctly in interior northwestern South America; and T.fannyi ofeastem Panama, western Colombia, and northern Ecuador. Received1 I July 1991, accepted20 Sept. 1991. RESUMEN.-En este trabajo analizamos la variation geografica en morfologia yen patrones de coloration en el plumaje de 10s machos de las “ninfas de bosque” de1 genera Thalurunia de Mesoamerica y noroeste de Sudamtrica. Los caracteres morfometricos distinguen las poblaciones de1 oeste de Mexico de todas las poblaciones de1 sur. Con base en la coloration de1 plumaje, caracteres discretos separan tres grupos. Proponemos que estos grupos Sean reconocidos coma especies distintas: T. ridgwayi de1 oeste de MCxico; T. colombicadesde Centroamerica hacia el sur al oeste de Panama y continuando desputs en el noroeste de Sudamerica; y T.fannyi de1 este de Panama, oeste de Colombia y extremo norte de1 Ecuador. In spite of more than a century of study, patterns of geographic variation and speciation in Middle American birds remain poorly understood.

On birds of Santander-Bio Expeditions, quantifying the cost of collecting voucher specimens in Colombia. Acta biol. Colomb. 2020;25(1):37-60. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.15446/abc. v25n1.77442 ABSTRACT Several scientific reasons support continuing bird collection in Colombia, a megadiverse country with modest science financing. Despite the recognized value of biological collections for the rigorous study of biodiversity, there is scarce information on the monetary costs of specimens. We present results for three expeditions conducted in Santander (municipalities of Cimitarra, El Carmen de Chucurí, and Santa Barbara), Colombia, during 2018 to collect bird voucher specimens, quantifying the costs of obtaining such material. After a sampling effort of 1290 mist net hours and occasional collection using an airgun, we collected 300 bird voucher specimens, representing 117 species from 30 families.

    Sección científica _ A new record of eggs and a domed nest of the Long-tailed Wood-Partridge (Dendrortyx macroura). Gilberto Chávez-León. Instituto Nacional de Investigaciones Forestales, Agrícolas y Pecuarias, Campo Experimental Uruapan. Av. Latinoamericana 1101, Colonia Revolución, Uruapan, 60050, Michoacán, México. E-mail: [email protected]. Abstract A domed nest with four eggs of the Long-tailed Wood-Partridge (Dendrortyx macroura) was found on 29 April 1998 at 1900 m in Barranca del Cupatitzio National Park, Michoacán, Mexico. I describe the vegetation at the site and the structure of the nest and a clutch of four eggs found on 11 June 1998 in the nearby communal forest of Nuevo San Juan Parangaricutiro. Key words: nesting, Trans Mexican Volcanic Belt, Odontophoridae. Un nuevo registro de huevos y de un nido abovedado de Dendrortyx macroura. Resumen El 29 de abril de 1998 encontré un nido abovedado con cuatro huevos de Dendrortyx macroura, a una altitud de 1900 m, en el Parque Nacional Barranca del Cupatitzio, Uruapan, Michoacán, México. Aquí describo la vegetación del sitio y la estructura del nido, al igual que una nidada de cuatro huevos encontrada el 11 de junio de 1998 en el vecino bosque comunal de Nuevo San Juan Parangaricutiro.
