Ecuador: Rainforest & Andes I 2015
Field Guides Tour Report Ecuador: Rainforest & Andes I 2015 Mar 1, 2015 to Mar 15, 2015 Willy Perez For our tour description, itinerary, past triplists, dates, fees, and more, please VISIT OUR TOUR PAGE. Brown Inca is a Choco endemic, and this individual was drying out its feathers during our west-slope cloudforest visit. (Photo by guide Willy Perez) This Rainforest & Andes tour title describes our itinerary perfectly: we went from the heights of the Andes (Papallacta being our highest stop, at 4400 meters) to the foothills on both slopes, and then ended at Sacha Lodge in the lowland Amazonian basin. Along the way we passed through wonderful scenery: beautiful dry valleys, cloudforest, rainforest, and the fantastic paramo. Our goal was to see birds, and we saw so many of them! There was a cloud of hummingbirds at Yanacocha, the highlight being a Rainbow-bearded Thornbill nesting on a cliff overhang. And Angel Paz's reserve is always a unique experience; we had Cocks-of-the-rock in full display, a pair of Rufous-bellied Nighthawks roosting, and again many hummingbirds, included Wedge-billed coming to the feeders (the first time I've seen it here). But this time the Giant Antpitta stole the show -- three of them followed us along the trail! And what about the nice welcome from the Common Potoo that some of us could see from our rooms at Septimo Paraiso, and the big surprise with Long-tailed Potoo at Sacha? The day at Silanche felt almost too short, there are so many birds to look for. -

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.

THE ECOLOGICAL REQUIREMENTS OF THE NEW ZEALAND FALCON (Falco novaeseelandiae) IN PLANTATION FORESTRY A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Zoology at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand Richard Seaton 2007 Adult female New Zealand falcon. D. Stewart 2003. “The hawks, eagles and falcons have been an inspiration to people of all races and creeds since the dawn of civilisation. We cannot afford to lose any species of the birds of prey without an effort commensurate with the inspiration of courage, integrity and nobility that they have given humanity…If we fail on this point, we fail in the basic philosophy of feeling a part of our universe and all that goes with it.” Morley Nelson, 2002. iii iv ABSTRACT Commercial pine plantations made up of exotic tree species are increasingly recognised as habitats that can contribute significantly to the conservation of indigenous biodiversity in New Zealand. Encouraging this biodiversity by employing sympathetic forestry management techniques not only offers benefits for indigenous flora and fauna but can also be economically advantageous for the forestry industry. The New Zealand falcon (Falco novaeseelandiae) or Karearea, is a threatened species, endemic to the islands of New Zealand, that has recently been discovered breeding in pine plantations. This research determines the ecological requirements of New Zealand falcons in this habitat, enabling recommendations for sympathetic forestry management to be made. -

Flowers Visited by Hummingbirds in an Urban Cerrado Fragment, Mato Grosso Do Sul, Brazil
Biota Neotrop., vol. 13, no. 4 Flowers visited by hummingbirds in an urban Cerrado fragment, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil Waldemar Guimarães Barbosa-Filho1,2 & Andréa Cardoso de Araujo1 1Laboratório de Ecologia, Centro de Ciências Biológicas e da Saúde, Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso do Sul – UFMS, CP 549, CEP 79070-900, Campo Grande, MS, Brasil. http://www-nt.ufms.br/ 2Corresponding author: Waldemar Guimarães Barbosa-Filho, e-mail: [email protected] BARBOSA-FILHO, W.G. & ARAUJO, A.C. Flowers visited by hummingbirds in an urban Cerrado fragment, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. Biota Neotrop. 13(4): http://www.biotaneotropica.org.br/v13n4/en/ abstract?article+bn00213042013 Abstract: Hummingbirds are the main vertebrate pollinators in the Neotropics, but little is known about the interactions between hummingbirds and flowers in areas of Cerrado. This paper aims to describe the interactions between flowering plants (ornithophilous and non-ornithophilous species) and hummingbirds in an urban Cerrado remnant. For this purpose, we investigated which plant species are visited by hummingbirds, which hummingbird species occur in the area, their visiting frequency and behavior, their role as legitimate or illegitimate visitors, as well as the number of agonistic interactions among these visitors. Sampling was conducted throughout 18 months along a track located in an urban fragment of Cerrado vegetation in Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brasil. We found 15 species of plants visited by seven species of hummingbirds. The main habit for ornithophilous species was herbaceous, with the predominance of Bromeliaceae; among non-ornithophilous most species were trees from the families Vochysiaceae and Malvaceae. -

Isospora sepetibensis Berto, Flausino, Luz, Ferreira and Lopes, 2008 is a protozoan coccidian parasite (Chromista: Miozoa: Coc- cidiomorphea: Coccidia) that was originally described from Brazilian tanagers Ramphocelus bresilius (Linnaeus, 1766) in the Marambaia Island in the Coast of the State of Rio de Janeiro. In the current work, this species was identified from black-goggled tanagersTrichothraupis melanops (Vieillot, 1818) in the Itatiaia National Park, which is a protected area with a high degree of vulnerability in the interior of the State of Rio de Janeiro, distant in more than 100 km of the type-locality. Its oocysts are sub-spherical to elongate ovoidal, 25.9 × 20.7 µm with smooth, bi-layered wall, ~ 1.3 µm and length/width ratio of 1.1–1.4 (1.26). Micropyle and oocyst residuum absent, but one or two polar granules are present. -

Puerto Iguazú, Misiones, Argentina, from 8–11 August, 2017 Puerto Iguazú is located in the heart of the interior Atlantic Forest and is the portal to the Iguazú Falls, one of the world’s Seven Natural Wonders and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The area surrounding Puerto Iguazú, the province of Misiones and neighboring regions of Paraguay and Brazil offers many scenic attractions and natural areas such as Iguazú National Park, and provides unique opportunities for birdwatching. Over 500 species have been recorded, including many Atlantic Forest endemics like the Blue Manakin (Chiroxiphia caudata), the emblem of our congress. This is the first meeting collaboratively organized by the Association of Field Ornithologists, Sociedade Brasileira de Ornitologia and Aves Argentinas, and promises to be an outstanding professional experience for both students and researchers. The congress will feature workshops, symposia, over 400 scientific presentations, 7 internationally renowned plenary speakers, and a celebration of 100 years of Aves Argentinas!

TRAINER Department of Biology, Universityof Northern Iowa, Cedar Falls, IA 50614 DAVID B. MCDONALD ArchboldBiological Station, P.O. Box 2057, Lake Placid, FL 33852 Abstract. We examined the vocal repertoire of lek-mating Long-tailed Manakins (Chi- roxiphia linearis, Pipridae) in Monteverde, Costa Rica. Males in this genusare unusualin performing a cooperativecourtship display, including duet songsand coordinateddual-male dance displays. Males give at least 13 distinct vocalizations, several of which occur in clear behavioral contexts. By observing the behavioral context and the sequencein which calls were given, we found that the most frequent calls occurred during three types of activity: song bouts, dance, and noncourtship interactions. The responsesof males to playback of six vocalizations indicated that the calls function as much in mediating cooperative inter- actions as in expressingmale-male agonism. The evolution of the large vocal repertoire in Long-tailed Manakins may be associatedwith their unique social system based on long- term, cooperative relationshipsamong males. Key words: Vocalization;call function; Long-tailed Manakin; Chiroxiphia linearis; so- ciality; cooperation,lek. Resumen.
