This book is also dedicated to Cracidologists who have devoted their lives to studying these fascinating birds. By devoted, they are indeed no less than that - they may risk their lives working in dangerous regions and less than comfortable conditions to satiate their quest to learn all they can about these rare birds. It goes without saying that books such as this would not exist were it not for the countless hours these disciplined students of Ornithology have dedicated to direct study of these life forms they are so passionate to conserve.

This person was Stuart Strahl. We were both at similar stages in our careers and personal lives, and at the time both heavily vested in field research and conservation of Neotropical vertebrates: Strahl in birds, and myself in primates. During this visit Stuart had become interested in a very little-known group of birds that sounded like a type of Mexican dance or drug addict; this was the avian family known as the Cracids. Stuart was quite excited about studying and conserving these birds, and little did I realize at the time what Strahl

  • Distribution and Population Density of the Endangered Cauca Guan Penelope Perspicax
    Bird Conservation International (2006) 16:299–307. ß BirdLife International 2006 doi: 10.1017/S0959270906000475 Printed in the United Kingdom Distribution and population density of the Endangered Cauca Guan Penelope perspicax GUSTAVO H. KATTAN, ADRIANA LEO´ N, GERMA´ N CORREDOR, WILLIAM BELTRA´ N and MO´ NICA PARADA Summary The original 24,900 km2 distribution of the Cauca Guan Penelope perspicax is currently reduced to less than 750 km2. In addition, forest within this range is fragmented and populations are isolated. We conducted surveys to determine the presence of the Cauca Guan at several locations within its present range, and mapped all known localities with guan records. Cauca Guan populations are confirmed to occur at only four sites, and the guan is absent from several localities with historic records. Some sites where the Cauca Guan is potentially present are highlighted. In particular, the possible existence of populations on the Pacific slope of the Andes requires confirmation, since a large habitat block is available. Population density estimates were obtained in two protected areas. In Yotoco Forest Reserve (559 ha) we estimated 8.6 guans km22. At Otu´ n-Quimbaya Flora and Fauna Sanctuary (489 ha), guans fed seasonally on leaves of Chinese ash Fraxinus chinensis, an exotic tree planted in a revegetation programme. Seasonal densities in ash plantations were over 100 guans km22, whereas in mixed forest, mean density was 41.6 birds km22. Ash has apparently become a key resource for this population. Although these two populations are within protected areas and have relatively high densities, they are small and isolated and require continued monitoring.

Figs are potential keystone resources that sustain frugivore communities during periods of scarcity, but studies have produced contradictory results. Over 1 y we monitored the phenology of 206 trees of five Ficus species in a Colombian cloud forest, to test whether figs produced fruit during periods of low overall fruit availability. We also measured fig tree densities in 18 0.5-ha plots and made 190 h of observations at 24 trees of three species to determine whether figs were abundant and consumed by a large proportion of the local frugivores. The five species produced fruit year-round but fig availability varied monthly by orders of magnitude. Fig trees reached comparatively high densities of 1–5 trees ha−1 and were consumed by 36 bird species (60% of the local frugivore assemblage) and three mammal species.
