ORNITOLOGIA NEOTROPICAL 18: 21–36, 2007 © The Neotropical Ornithological Society DIETS OF CRACIDS: HOW MUCH DO WE KNOW? Marcia C. Muñoz1 & Gustavo H. Kattan Fundación EcoAndina/Wildlife Conservation Society Colombia Program, Avenida 2 Oeste, No. 10-54, Cali, Colombia. E-mails: [email protected] & [email protected] Resumen. – Dietas de crácidos: ¿qué tánto sabemos? – Los Cracidae son una familia Neotropical de 50 especies de aves galliformes, muchas de las cuales están amenazadas. A través de una revisión de litera- tura, evaluamos el conocimiento actual de los hábitos alimentarios de los crácidos y establecimos algunos patrones generales. La dieta ha sido relativamente bien documentada para 17 especies, mientras que para otras 19 especies hay información anecdótica, y para 14, no hay información disponible. La fruta es la cate- goría de alimento más importante para los crácidos y se han documentado 672 especies de frutas de todos los tipos en sus dietas (tales como drupas, bayas y arilos). Las familias de plantas más importantes en la dieta de la mayoría de los crácidos son también las más comunes y diversas en los bosques Neotropicales. El follaje, las flores y el material animal (vertebrados e invertebrados) también son comunes en la dieta. El consumo de follaje en particular es común en la mayoría de las especies, pero la folivoría no ha sido ade- cuadamente estudiada en estas aves. Las especies de la subfamilia Penelopinae generalmente pasan las semillas intactas a través del tracto digestivo y son potenciales diseminadoras de semillas. Las especies de Cracinae, en cambio, tienen mollejas fuertes y se alimentan de las semillas grandes; sólo las semillas peque- ñas pasan por el tracto intactas. En general los crácidos parecen tener dietas amplias y generalistas, aunque se han documentado dietas restringidas en respuesta a condiciones locales. Pocos estudios han evaluado las variaciones estacionales y entre hábitats en la disponibilidad de recursos y las respuestas de los crácidos a tales variaciones. El estudio de los patrones de uso y disponibilidad de recursos es esencial para entender los patrones de uso de hábitat, las necesidades de espacio y la dinámica poblacional de los crácidos. Abstract. – The Cracidae are a Neotropical family of 50 species of galliform birds, many of which are threatened. Through a literature review, we evaluated current knowledge of cracid food habits and estab- lished general dietary patterns. Diet has been relatively well documented for 17 species, anecdotal informa- tion is available for 19 species, and no information is available for 14 species. Fruit is the most important food category for cracids, and 672 species in all fruit types (e.g., drupes, berries, arillate fruits) are reported. For most species, the most important plant families in their diets are also the most common and diverse families in Neotropical forests. Foliage, flowers and animal foods (invertebrate and vertebrate) are also common items in cracid diets. Consumption of foliage, in particular, is widespread but folivory has not been adequately studied in these birds. Penelopinae usually pass seeds intact through the digestive tract and are potential seed dispersers. Cracinae, in contrast, have strong gizzards and usually feed on large seeds, with only small seeds passing intact. In general, cracids seem to have broad and generalist diets, although restricted diets in response to local conditions have been reported. Few studies have evaluated seasonal and habitat variations in resource availability and cracid responses to such variation. An understanding of patterns of resource use and availability is essential for understanding habitat use, space needs and popula- tion dynamics of Cracids. Accepted 14 October 2006. Key words: Cracidae, Cracinae, diet, frugivory, folivory, Penelopinae, seed dispersal. ______________ 1Present address: Department of Biology, University of Puerto Rico, San Juan, PR 00931. 21 MUÑ0Z & KATTAN INTRODUCTION We conducted a literature search to com- pile information on cracid diets.

C.P. 29200 / [email protected] 10 July, 2012. Revised December 2014 Assessing Bird Species Richness within Shade-Grown Coffee Farms in Chiapas, Mexico / ID: 0251711 Overall Aim The goal of this project was to identify mechanisms and conservation strategies across agro-forestry systems in the El Triunfo Biosphere Reserve in Chiapas, Mexico. In particular we analyzed key biodiversity, economic, and social components that impact land-use change and ecosystem services in coffee production areas, focusing on how to improve sustainable production and conservation of nature. 2 Assessing Bird Species Richness within Shade-Grown Coffee Farms in Chiapas, Mexico / ID: 0251711 Section 1 Summary The agroforestry systems with coffee at the Sierra Madre of Chiapas, as a part of the Mesoamerican Biological Corridor region, are important for bird species. Agroforestry ecosystems also represent sustainable livelihoods for indigenous groups on the region. Sustainable coffee farming system represents a less human impact on the ecosystem. However, not all coffee producers on the region produce on the same way. Not all the inhabitants are aware of the importance of birds, as a part of the great natural capital of la Sierra Madre, but they either are prepared for the climate change risks and impacts. In this sense, this project seeks to understand, generate and communicate information useful for coffee farmers and their families. The goal is to understand social and economic factors to maintain and increase agroforestry systems with sustainable coffee.

The rufous-vented chachalaca (Ortalis ruficauda) is also known in Trinidad and Tobago as the cocrico and is proudly displayed on the country’s coat of arms with Trinidad’s scarlet ibis. Since rufous-vented chachalacas inhabit the island of Tobago and are absent in Trinidad, it is regarded as Tobago’s national bird (Government of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, 2010). They are galliforms, which are vegetarian, fowl-like birds with short stout beaks and strong breast muscles. Adults can reach up to 55 cm in size and has a combination of brown to olive toned plumage, with small areas covered in grey feathers (Kenefick et al. 2007). The throat is bare and rufous (reddish-brown coloration), its bill and legs are grey, and the loral skin (bare skin around the eyes) is dark blue (Kenefick et al. 2007). They have strong robust legs for scratching and running, short wings and a well developed long broad tails. Chachalacas are the smallest of the family Cracidae which also include guans and curassows. There are fifty members of this turkey- like family which lives in the western hemisphere (Kenefick et al. 2007). ECOLOGY. Its distribution ranges from the Southwest United States, Southern America, and Caribbean islands of the Grenadines, Tobago, and Margarita Islands (Kenefick et al.

    WHITE-WINGED GUAN Penelope albipennis E1 Discovered in dry north-westernmost Peru in 1876 and generally presumed extinct for a century thereafter, this guan is now known from a small number of dry wooded valleys in the Andean foothills of Peru (chiefly in Lambayeque), where it numbers possibly less than a hundred individuals and is seriously endangered by forest clearance. DISTRIBUTION The White-winged Guan is restricted to a small area of north-west Peru, although the exact extent of its distribution there remains to be clarified; that it might or does occur in adjacent Ecuador is dealt with in the last paragraph in this section. The species was originally described from a specimen collected in December 1876 on Condesa island, 3°31’S 80°29’W, in the Santa Lucia swamps of the Tumbes river delta, Tumbes, and a second specimen was obtained a month later, January 1877, at the Hacienda Pabur, 5°15’S 80°20’W, 200 km to the south and 130 km inland, in Piura, while a third specimen from the same locality is believed to be the live-caught offspring of the second (Taczanowski 1877, 1884-1886, Vaurie 1966b, de Macedo 1978, 1979). At the time of its first discovery, the species was reported at second-hand to inhabit mangroves at the mouth of the Zarumilla (“Zurumilla”) on the border with Ecuador, and to be found in all the larger river valleys of western Peru as far south as the Chicama in La Libertad (but there was no sight record from there, contra Meyer de Schauensee 1966), in particular those at Lambayeque and “Nancho (Rio de Saña)” in adjacent Cajamarca (Taczanowski 1884-1886).

Here we present the first record of aberrant plumage in the White‐throated Piping‐guan (Pipile grayi). The individual with aberrant plumage was predominantly white‐colored, but with pale cream underparts. Unfeathered body parts like the fleshy wattle, bill, and tarsus had pink color. Based on these characteristics we conclude that it likely constitutes a case of “Ino‐light” mutation.

Nesta comunicação breve apresenta‐ mos o primeiro registro de coloração aberrante de plumagem de Jacutinga‐de‐barbela‐branca (Pipile grayi). O indi‐ víduo apresentou plumagem com coloração predominantemente branca, com as partes inferiores com coloração creme. Outras partes do corpo, como barbela, bico e tarso apresentaram coloração rosada. Através destas caracterís‐ ticas fenotípicas e utilizando‐se de chaves de identificação para mutação de plumagem em aves disponíveis na litera‐ tura é suscetível que esta aberração se trate de um caso de mutação “Ino‐light”.

Accepted on 21 February 2019. ABSTRACT: The Ornate Hawk-Eagle (Spizaetus ornatus) is a top predator and inhabits mainly preserved forests. It occurs from Mexico to Argentina and throughout Brazil, where it is threatened by extinction. It hunts birds, mammals and reptiles, picking up both on the ground and on the branches in the forest. Here we report data on a pair and one young individual of this species registered in the southeast of Minas Gerais state, eastern portion of the Espinhaço Range, Brazil. In addition, a literature review on the diet of the species was carried out aiming gather data on food habits. The nesting territory, as well as the nest was discovered in semi-deciduous seasonal forest area. We recorded predation of a Lesser Yellow-headed Vulture (Cathartes burrovianus) by the young. After two days of observation, the nest was overthrown, what allowed its screening for other food items discovered after analysis of some feathers and bones. Detailed records of predation of S. ornatus were non-existent or inaccurate.

    The Cracidae – Chachalacas, Guans and Curassows The Cracidae or cracids are a bird family group of ancient origin going back perhaps some 50 million years and currently inhabiting parts of South and Central America. The Craci are a sub-order of the Galliformes which also contains most of the best known game birds in the sub-order the Phasiani such as pheasants, grouse, guinea fowls, and quails. The other members of the Craci comprise the megapodes of Australasia. Cracids are mostly arboreal (tree-dwelling) species which typically inhabit forest environments and thus their biology and habits are not well known. There is a good deal of debate on how many species the family comprise but there are some 40 – 50 currently extant. Curassows are the largest in size of the birds in this group with measurements generally in the 70-80 cm range; Guans are slightly smaller (+/- 60cm) and Chachalacas the smallest in the group at +/- 50 cm. Chachalacas are all rather similar in appearance Plain Chachalaca Ortalis vetula Chaco Chachalaca Ortalis canicollis Cracids appear to be monogamous and make a rather flat rudimentary nest of sticks with two to four plain white or cream eggs being laid depending on the species; the eggs are quite large relative to the size of the bird although the nests tend to be relatively small. Little Chachalaca Ortalis motmot Rufous-vented Chachalaca Ortalis ruficauda All cracids are typically vegetarian eating fruits, seeds, flowers, buds and leaves but limited evidence shows that some animal matter, especially insects such as grasshoppers are taken. Most cracids are highly vocal and their calls can carry a considerable distance.
