Comité Argentino De Registros Ornitológicos Comité Argentino de Registros Ornitológicos PROPUESTA CARO 06 – Quitar Serpophaga munda de la lista de aves argentinas Jorge La Grotteria - 24/05/2021 ANTECEDENTES Forma muy debatida por la ciencia. Berlepsch (1893) describió a S. munda separándola de S. subcristata. Zimmer (1955) analiza ambas formas y considera que S. munda corresponde a un hábitat xerófilo- montañoso, y S. subcristata a las llanuras húmedas. Sostiene que la coloración dorsal y ventral no es concluyente. Bó (1969) llega a un resultado similar al de Zimmer (1955) pero encuentra que en determinada zona se encuentran ambas formas en simpatría, quedando la duda de si se quiebra el aislamiento genético e hibridizan. Short (1975) considera a S. munda como una subespecie o morfo de S. subcristata. Straneck (1993) unifica a S. subcristata con S. munda por tener iguales repertorios acústicos corroborando lo mencionado por Zimmer (1955), Short (1975) y Bó (1969). Smith (1971) realizó anteriormente análisis acústicos de ambas formas y apoyó el punto de vista de munda como especie válida por diferir en coloración y algunas vocalizaciones de S. subcristata, a lo que Straneck (1993) refuta que las diferencias vocales reportadas por Smith (1971) son mínimas y atribuibles a diferencias individuales o regionales, a lo que agrega que Smith no contó con el material comparativo suficiente. Herzog (2001) señala que Straneck (1993) posee severos defectos en la metodología y comenta que al re-examinar toda la información con un criterio conservador obtiene resultados opuestos, señalando que S. subcristata y S. munda son especies válidas. Mazar Barnett y Pearman (2001) siguen a Straneck (1993) basándose en las idénticas vocalizaciones e intergradación en la zona de contacto. Herzog y Mazar Barnett (2004) aseguran que los especímenes S. griseiceps de Berlioz (1959) representan a jóvenes de S. munda. Straneck (2007) explica que el error de los autores que insisten en que S. griseiceps son juveniles de S. munda (Berlioz, 1959; Traylor, 1979, 1982; Remsen y Traylor, 1989; Herzog y Mazar Barnett, 2004) proviene en que sus estudios solo se basan en pieles y no realizan análisis acústicos de las especies. Continúa tratando a munda como una subespecie de S. subcristata mencionando que "la diferencia de color se debe más a una adaptación cromática al ambiente donde viven, que a una diferencia específica". Serpophaga griseicapilla Como parte del complejo taxonómico, S. griseicapilla fue importante en el esclarecimiento de S. s. munda: Berlioz (1959) describió a Serpophaga griseiceps en base a cuatro especímenes provenientes de Cochabamba, Bolivia. Traylor (1979, 1982) considera a S. griseiceps como juveniles de S. munda, y Remsen y Traylor (1989) ratifican esto. Straneck (1993) revalida a S. griseiceps, para un taxón encontrado en Argentina que no vocaliza como S. "munda" ni como S. subcristata. Herzog y Mazar Barnett (2004) mencionan que el trabajo de Straneck (1993) posee problemas metodológicos, aseguran que los especímenes S. griseiceps de Berlioz (1959) representan a jóvenes de S. munda y los especímenes S. griseiceps de Straneck son aparentemente una especie críptica hasta ese momento no descripta de Serpophaga. Straneck (2007) describe una nueva especie denominada Serpophaga griseicapilla para los ejemplares "S. griseiceps de Straneck" y detalla que el error de los autores que insisten en que S. griseiceps son juveniles de S. munda proviene en que sus estudios solo se basan en pieles y no realizan análisis acústicos de las especies, por lo que aclara que se necesita este tipo de estudios de las poblaciones de Bolivia para exclarecer a S. griseiceps de Berlioz (1959). Además agrega que en el norte y oeste de Argentina se pudieron observar ejemplares de S. griseicapilla con muy poco amarillo ventral o simplemente blancos en la zona ventral y subcaudal. Siendo esto coincidente con lo que sucede con las subespecies de S. subcristata, mientras más árida es la zona, menos coloración poseen. 1 Comité Argentino de Registros Ornitológicos ESTADO ACTUAL En el Main List del South American Classification Committee (SACC) se encuentra presente como una especie válida con dos referencias: 18. Serpophaga munda is often considered a subspecies (e.g., Zimmer 1955, Traylor 1977<?>, 1979a, Straneck 1993) or morph (Short 1975) of S. subcristata, but see Olrog (1963) and Herzog (2001). 19. "Serpophaga griseiceps," known from four specimens from Bolivia, was formerly considered a valid species (e.g., Zimmer 1955, Meyer de Schauensee 1966, 1970). Traylor (1979) treated S. griseiceps as a synonym of S. munda; rationale, however, was not published. Straneck (1993) resurrected S. griseiceps as a valid species, but see Herzog & Barnett (2004), who concluded that "griseiceps" most likely represents the juvenal plumage of S. munda. See Hybrids and Dubious Taxa. Straneck (2007) described a new species, Serpophaga griseicapilla, for the taxon previously suspected to be S. "griseiceps." SACC aceptó la incorporación de S. griseicapilla, pero llamativamente, para el caso de S. munda solo se limitan a Herzog (2001), siendo que luego de eso se ha adicionado mucho más información relevante para el caso, y no hay un “SACC proposal needed” (Remsen et al., 2021). Vale descatar que Remsen tenía opinión encontrada con la de Straneck (Remsen y Traylor, 1989). Clements et al. (2019), consideran a munda como especie válida, siguiendo al SACC, taxonomía utilizada por eBird. Birds of the Word se encuentra en un estado “híbrido”, ya que heredó el contenido de “Handbook of the Birds of the World”, adquirido por The Cornell Lab of Ornithology, se enlazó con eBird pero sus taxonomías no coinciden, como tampoco las distribuciones geográficas de las especies justamente por las diferencias taxonómicas. En las fichas de las especies (por ejemplo, en Colaptes melanochloros) muestra el siguiente mensaje: “Editor's Note: This is a shorter format account, originally published in HBW Alive. Please consider contributing your expertise to update and expand this account. Taxonomic note: Lump. This account is a combination of multiple species accounts originally published in HBW Alive. That content has been combined and labeled here at the subspecies level. Moving forward we will create a more unified account for this parent taxon. Please consider contributing your expertise to update this account.”. Para el caso de S. munda, HBW no la consideraba como especie plena, pero ahora fue incorporada en Birds of the Word (Fitzpatrick, 2020). HBW and BirdLife Taxonomic Checklist v5 consideran a munda como una subespecie de S. subcristata (Handbook of the Birds of the World and BirdLife International, 2020), citando como fuente taxonómica a del Hoyo et al. (2016). Narosky e Yzurieta (1987, 2003) consideraban a S. munda como una especie válida. Luego, Narosky e Yzurieta (2010) ya consideran a munda como subespecie de S. subcristata. Mazar Barnett y Pearman (2001), López-Lanús (2017), De la Peña (2020), y Pearman y Areta (2020) consideran a munda subespecie de S. subcristata. Pearman y Areta (2021) señalan intergradación entre ambas formas. 2 Comité Argentino de Registros Ornitológicos PROPUESTA Propongo quitar Serpophaga munda de la Lista de las Aves de la Argentina.

Morphological and Ecological Evolution in Old and New World Flycatchers (215pp.) Director of Dissertation: Donald B. Miles In both the Old and New Worlds, independent clades of sit-and-wait insectivorous birds have evolved. These independent radiations provide an excellent opportunity to test for convergent relationships between morphology and ecology at different ecological and phylogenetic levels. First, I test whether there is a significant adaptive relationship between ecology and morphology in North American and Southern African flycatcher communities. Second, using morphological traits and observations on foraging behavior, I test whether ecomorphological relationships are dependent upon locality. Third, using multivariate discrimination and cluster analysis on a morphological data set of five flycatcher clades, I address whether there is broad scale ecomorphological convergence among flycatcher clades and if morphology predicts a course measure of habitat preference. Finally, I test whether there is a common morphological axis of diversification and whether relative age of origin corresponds to the morphological variation exhibited by elaenia and tody-tyrant lineages.

COLLIAS Departmentof Biology, Universityof California, Los Angeles, CA 90024-1606 Abstract. The object of this review is to relate nest-buildingbehavior to the origin and early evolution of passerinebirds (Order Passeriformes).I present evidence for the hypoth- esis that the combinationof small body size and the ability to place a constructednest where the bird chooses,helped make possiblea vast amountof adaptiveradiation. A great diversity of potential habitats especially accessibleto small birds was created in the late Tertiary by global climatic changes and by the continuing great evolutionary expansion of flowering plants and insects.Cavity or hole nests(in ground or tree), open-cupnests (outside of holes), and domed nests (with a constructedroof) were all present very early in evolution of the Passeriformes,as indicated by the presenceof all three of these basic nest types among the most primitive families of living passerinebirds. Secondary specializationsof these basic nest types are illustratedin the largest and most successfulfamilies of suboscinebirds. Nest site and nest form and structureoften help characterizethe genus, as is exemplified in the suboscinesby the ovenbirds(Furnariidae), a large family that builds among the most diverse nests of any family of birds. The domed nest is much more common among passerinesthan in non-passerines,and it is especially frequent among the very smallestpasserine birds the world over.

    BEHAVIORAL CHARACTERISTICS OF SERPOPHAGININE TYRANNIDS W. JOHN SMITH Department of Biology University of Pennsylvania Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19104 and Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute Box 2072 Balboa, Canal Zone The tyrant flycatchers comprise a family with the plumages and ranges of its species, seeking unusually broad ecological radiation, but most similarities and differences in general habitat are birds for which we have as yet very little preferences and foraging methods, then con- information about even gross behavior pat- sidering the vocal and visible displays. Dis- terns, and for which phylogenetic relationships plays are given capitalized names in accord- remain uncertain. One group is ecologically ance with established ethological procedure, interesting because its species forage in ways and are described and compared in physical at least superficially analogous to wood war- form and employment, emphasizing similarities blers, vireos, titmice, wagtails, and Old World and differences among displays that are used reed warblers and grass warblers. In many in similar ways (i.e., accompanied by com- cases the tyrannids even resemble these other parable behavior patterns) by different spe- groups in plumage characteristics. This group cies. Through what is now known about the falls within Hellmayrs’ ( 1927) subfamilies employment of displays in tyrannid genera Serpophaginae and Euscarthminae. Although where whole repertoires have been much more I shall argue in subsequent papers that these thoroughly studied (e.g., Tyrannus, Smith two subfamilies should not be distinguished, a 1966; Sayomis, Smith 1969b, 1970a, b; Con- large number of species and genera are in- topus, Myiozetetes, Pitangus, and Myiody- volved and it is convenient to use Hellmayrs’ nastes, Smith, MS), it is possible to estimate classification as a framework for presenting what kinds of serpophaginine displays have information about their behavior.

  • An Avifaunal Inventory of Parque Nacional Teniente Agripino Enciso, Departamento Boquerón, Northern Paraguay
    [FAUNA Paraguay Technical Publication Number 4] September 2006 AN AVIFAUNAL INVENTORY OF PARQUE NACIONAL TENIENTE AGRIPINO ENCISO, DEPARTAMENTO BOQUERÓN, NORTHERN PARAGUAY Paul Smith, Adam Betuel, Hemme Batjes, Silvia Centrón and Hugo del Castillo INTRODUCTION Parque Nacional Teniente Agripino Enciso (hereafter referred to as Enciso) is one of a collection of six reserves that make up the Reserva de la Biosfera del Chaco in extreme northern Paraguay. It was established in the 1990s with the aim to conserve sites of historical interest from the Chaco War and a population of the threatened Chaco Peccary or Tagua Catagonus wagneri a species known only from fossil remains that was first seen alive in 1976. Located at approximately km700 on the Ruta Trans-Chaco it is arguably the most accessible of the Chaco Biosphere Reserves. The habitat here consists mainly of dense, thorny Chaco forest with a low canopy and open undergrowth. In winter (June to September approximately) it is extremely dry, with considerable flooding taking place during the spring and early summer (September to December approximately) - a result of standing water from heavy seasonal rains (Mario Torales pers. comm.). AIMS Despite excellent visitor facilities, Enciso is one of the most isolated and least visited of Paraguay´s national parks. We aimed to perform an avifaunal inventory of the park which, in addition to records already in the Guyra Paraguay database, would help to produce a complete species list for the site. In the process a bilingual field guide (English/Spanish) to the birds of the park would be produced, to stimulate interest in birds and conservation amongst visitors, and highlight the uniqueness of this fascinating location.

Resumen. – Avifauna chaqueña del norte de Paraguay. – Inventarios llevaros a acabo en cinco sitios en el chaco del norte de Paraguay indicaron la presencia de 233 especies de aves, incluyendo a Mosqueta Boreal (Empidonax alnorum), la cual se registra por primera vez en el país. Se documentaron por primera vez tres especies por medio de especimenes [Chiripepé de Cabeza Gris (yrrhura molinae), Pijuí Ocráceo (Poe- cilurus scutatus) y Batará Boliviano (Thamnophilus sticturus)] y una por grabaciones de cantos [Piojito Trinador ³Serpophaga griseiceps)]. Se registraron dos especies nuevas para el chaco de Paraguay, y 22 especies nuevas para las zonas del Alto Chaco o Matogrosense (sensu Hayes 1995). Comparaciones preliminares entre sitios, junto con información adicional publicada, apoyan a la idea de que el recambio de especies de sitio a sitio es considerable en el bioma del chaco. La recien declarada Reserva de Biosfera del Chaco, si se imple- menta y se protege efectivamente, representa un paso importante hacía la conservación de la avifauna del norte del chaco. Abstract. – Surveys at five sites in the chaco biome in northern Paraguay revealed the presence of 233 bird species including one species, Alder Flycatcher (Empidonax alnorum) new for the country.

This diversity of habitats harbors 16.000+ vascular plants in more than 250 native families, about 5 times more species than the British Isles (in a territory with an area which is only 10% smaller). We traveled the Eastern Andes of Ecuador, enjoying comfortable lodges, exotic food, new plants, and dramatic landscapes. During 14 nights exploring this territory, we recorded about 500+ native plant species! Out of those, 35 are endemic to Ecuador and another 90+ are shared endemics: species found in Colombia (COL) or Perú (PER).
