En su historia se definen dos etapas. La inicial (primera serie) sumó más de 80 entregas entre los años 1987 y 1998, y fue disconti- nuada. Posteriormente, comenzando el nuevo milenio, la Fundación de Historia Natural Félix de Azara decidió editar la segunda serie de esta publicación. Entre los años 2001 y Segunda Serie 2005 se publicaron 18 números y finalmente en el año 2008, S con Juan Carlos Chebez (1962-2011) como editor, cobró real CA impulso, llegando hoy al número 259. El presente volumen anual compila las Nótulas Faunísticas del año 2018.

Santos Dumont, s/nº - Cidade Universitária (Block II), Cáceres, 78200-000, MT, Brazil. Corresponding author: Angélica Vilas Boas da Frota, [email protected] Abstract The Estação Ecológica de Taiamã (EET) is one of the Ramsar sites in the Pantanal wetlands of Brazil. We present an annotated list of bird species recorded between 2015 and 2018, along with a compilation of existing data for this area. In our sampling, 207 species were recorded, with 76% documented. We have the first record ofChlidonias niger (Linnaeus, 1758) for the Pantanal and Central region of Brazil. Another 30 species are new records for EET, such as the migrant Hirundo rustica Linnaeus, 1758. The general list comprises 24 orders, 60 families, and 278 species, of which 160 were assigned to the primary list and 118 to the secondary list. This study will aid in the conservation of biodiversity in the Pantanal. The EET and its buffer zone are important for maintaining biodiversity and expanding its boundaries may further promote the conservation of birds in Brazilian wetlands. Keywords Bird migration, floodplain, Nearctic migrant, ornithological inventory, Paraguay River, protected areas, waterbirds.

  • BRAZIL: the Pantanal and Amazon Birding Tour 29 June – 13 July 2019
    Tropical Birding - Trip Report BRAZIL: the Pantanal and Amazon – June/July 2019 A Tropical Birding Set Departure BIRDING TOUR (www.shorturl.at/hxyW0) BRAZIL: The Pantanal and Amazon Birding Tour 29 June – 13 July 2019 Report and photos by ANDRES VASQUEZ N., the guide for this tour Even though this is primarily a birding tour, the Jaguars always take the first place when it comes to the favorite sightings of the tour, especially in this tour where we got to see 10 different individuals in only two boat outings!!!! This has been by far the most I have seen not only in absolute numbers but also in terms of numbers in a single spot: there was a time when we saw a tense interaction of a family of mom and two well grown cubs (picture above) with a male that was wandering near by; we also saw two different couples mating, and finally a pair of young males walking together, apparently two brothers. www.tropicalbirding.com +1-409-515-9110 [email protected] p.1 Tropical Birding - Trip Report BRAZIL: the Pantanal and Amazon – June/July 2019 INTRODUCTION: In this tour we combine some of the World’s best birding regions like the mega diverse Amazon rainforest, the seasonally flooded Pantanal plains, and just shortly the dry and unique Cerrado. This combination brings a HUGE amount of birds to our checklists out of which there are many of South America’s MEGAS, not only in terms of special birds but also in terms of “special bird families” (sbf – families that many tour participants haven’t seen before).

  • Bolivia's Avian Riches 2016 BIRDS
    Field Guides Tour Report Bolivia's Avian Riches 2016 Sep 3, 2016 to Sep 19, 2016 Dan Lane For our tour description, itinerary, past triplists, dates, fees, and more, please VISIT OUR TOUR PAGE. Seeing several Cream-backed Woodpeckers this well was definitely one of the highlights of the tour. Photo by participant Brian Stech. Bolivia, as per usual, didn’t disappoint with some amazing scenery, great birds, and the occasional logistical challenge. Roadwork caused a few delays but, on occasion, actually gave us an unexpected opportunity to see a good bird! That Hellmayr’s Pipit in Siberia and the side road to search (and successfully find!) Red-fronted Macaw and a few other targets along the Mizque were both happy results, for example. But the tour gave us some other great memories: high on the list were the astounding views of several Cream-backed Woodpeckers—a rather reasonable stand-in for the Ivory-billed! We also reveled in our luck with the difficult Scimitar-winged Piha, which showed in spades for us! The boldly-patterned White-eared Solitaire and the colorful Band-tailed Fruiteater were other birds that ranked high on our lists of species seen. Others we appreciated were the bold Brown Tinamou that crossed the track in front of us, the moxie of that male Andean Hillstar that inspected us up close, the majesty of the Andean Condors we saw on several days, the startling plumage of the Red-tailed Comet, and the equally captivating Black-hooded Sunbeam, the more muted beauty of the Cochabamba Mountain-Finch, and the escaped jailbird plumage of the Barred Fruiteater.

  • Brood Parasitic Nestlings Benefit from Unusual Host Defenses Against Botfly Larvae (Philornis Spp.)
    Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology (2019) 73:146 https://doi.org/10.1007/s00265-019-2751-3 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Brood parasitic nestlings benefit from unusual host defenses against botfly larvae (Philornis spp.) Cynthia A. Ursino1 & M. C. De Mársico1 & J. C. Reboreda1 Received: 6 May 2019 /Revised: 5 September 2019 /Accepted: 13 September 2019 # Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2019 Abstract Brood parasitic birds lay their eggs into the nests of other birds, abandoning parental care of their nestlings to the unsuspecting hosts. Parasite and host nestlings may themselves be parasitized by botfly larvae (Philornis: Muscidae), which burrow under the nestlings’ skin and can seriously affect growth and survival. Here, we provide the first direct evidence that adult baywings (Agelaioides badius), the primary host of the specialist brood parasitic screaming cowbird (Molothrus rufoaxillaris), regularly remove botfly larvae from their own and parasitic nestlings by pulling them out of the nestlings’ skin. This is the only bird species known to remove botfly larvae. By combining nestling cross-fostering with video recording of baywing nests, we show that due to prompt removal, infection with botfly larvae had negligible effects on nestling growth and survival despite high prevalence. Our results provide the first direct observations for larva removal behavior in botfly hosts. Screaming cowbirds may benefit from using baywings as its main host, as larva removal by adult baywings reduces the costs of botfly parasitism. Significance statement Infection by botfly larvae of the genus Philornis (Muscidae) causes nestling mortality in many Neotropical birds. Despite the lethal effects, most Philornis hosts studied so far lack specific defenses against these larvae.

    Juan Carlos Reboreda Vanina Dafne Fiorini · Diego Tomás Tuero Editors Behavioral Ecology of Neotropical Birds Chapter 6 Obligate Brood Parasitism on Neotropical Birds Vanina Dafne Fiorini , María C. De Mársico, Cynthia A. Ursino, and Juan Carlos Reboreda 6.1 Introduction Obligate brood parasites do not build their nests nor do feed and take care of their nestlings. Instead, they lay their eggs in nests of individuals of other species (hosts) that rear the parasitic progeny. For behavioral ecologists interested in coevolution, obligate brood parasites are pearls of the avian world. These species represent only 1% of all the living avian species, and their peculiar reproductive strategy imposes on them permanent challenges for successful reproduction. At the same time, the hosts are under strong selective pressures to reduce the costs associated with para- sitism, such as the destruction of eggs by parasitic females and the potential fitness costs of rearing foreign nestlings. These selective pressures may result in parasites and hosts entering in a coevolutionary arms race, in which a broad range of defenses and counterdefenses can evolve. Females of most species of parasites have evolved behaviors such as rapid egg laying and damage of some of the host’s eggs when they visit the nest (Sealy et al. 1995; Soler and Martínez 2000; Fiorini et al. 2014). Reciprocally, as a first line of defense, hosts have evolved the ability to recognize and attack adult parasites (Feeney et al. 2012). Parasitic eggs typically hatch earlier than host eggs decreasing host hatching success and nestling survival (Reboreda et al. 2013), but several host species have evolved recognition and rejection of alien eggs, which in turn selected for the evolution of mimetic eggs in the parasite (Brooke and Davies 1988; Gibbs et al.
