  • Some New Information on the Distribution of Venezuelan Birds
    Some new information on the distribution of Venezuelan birds Peter Boesman Como resultado de la observación de aves en el campo durante los ultimos 10 años, se presenta un resumen de nuevos datos de distribución de aves en Venezuela. Los datos están organizados por area (20 en total), la mayoria de las areas son poco conocidas. Las observaciones de mayor importancia se detallan en ‘appendix 1’. En Falcón, la Serranía de San Luis tiene muchas más especies tipicas de las alturas sub-tropicales de la Cordillera de la Costa que previamente conocido, las serranias en el noreste de Falcón, de alturas bajas, tienen una avifauna abundante de especies de selva tropical, y areas de agua dulce en esta misma parte de Falcón y el norte de Carabobo son un refugio para muchas especies acuaticas poco conocidas. Los Andes en Lara y Trujillo no han sido estudiados tan profundamente como en Mérida, y por consecuencia se han descubierto importantes extensiones en la distribución de varias especies. En Mérida, se documenta indicaciones de una ruta migratoria muy importante a través del Valle del Río Santo Domingo. Las alturas bajas del Parque Nacional Tamá en Táchira (en el valle de los ríos Frio y Negro) y las areas adjacentes en Apure merecen mayor investigación en vista de algunas observaciones sorprendentes. Igualmente, los descubrimientos en islas del Río Orinoco fueron inesperados. La selva del Río Caura en el norte de Bolívar alberga especies previamente conocidas solamente del estado de Amazonas, y la región del Río Grande en el noreste de Bolívar tiene una avifauna tipicamente Guyanesa.

  • Torres D. 2007. Torrent Duck Distribution
    INTRODUCTION The torrent duck (Merganetta armata) is a bird native only to South America. It is the only species of waterfowl adapted to live in the fast flowing rivers of the Andean mountains. They occur in a wide geographic range along both sides of the Andean Mountain Range, at elevations between 1,800-3,700 m, extending along some 8,000 km from "Cordillera de Mérida" in northwestern Venezuela to "Tierra del Fuego" at the southern limit of Argentina (Fjeldså & Krabbe 1990; Gómez-Dallmeier & Cringan 1989, Phelps & Meyer De Schauensee 1978). The species taxonomy is quite confusing, but three subspecies are currently recognized (Fig. 1): Merganetta armata armata which is found in Chile and Argentina; Merganetta armata leucogenis, distributed from southern Ecuador to northern Chile; and Merganetta armata colombiana, found in Venezuela, Colombia and northern Ecuador (Fjeldså & Krabgbe 1990). M. armata colombiana M. armata leucogenis Adult Male M. armata armata Adult Female Color Variations Subadults Plumage variation through the age Figure 1. Geographic variations of Merganetta armata. Illustration: Jesús de Orión Mora / © VWF. Males of the southern nominate subspecies, M. a. armata, have a grey back and blackish underparts with a chestnut belly. Males of the slightly smaller northern subspecies, M. a. colombiana, are paler underneath, with steaked grey-brown underparts. Males of the third subspecies, M. a. leucogenis, are intermediate but can be variable in plumage; some having entirely black underparts. Only males of this subspecies have a black 'teardrop' mark beneath the eye. The Peruvian subspecies is sometimes split into not less than 4 subspecies (leucogenis, turneri, garleppi and berlepschi), but these are more likely simply color variations, as they are not limited to distinct areas.

J. Dorr SERIES PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION Emphasis upon publication as a means of “diffusing knowledge” was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian. In his formal plan for the Institution, Joseph Henry outlined a program that included the following statement: “It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge.” This theme of basic research has been adhered to through the years by thousands of titles issued in series publications under the Smithsonian imprint, com- mencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to History and Technology Smithsonian Contributions to the Marine Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Museum Conservation Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology In these series, the Institution publishes small papers and full-scale monographs that report on the research and collections of its various museums and bureaus. The Smithsonian Contributions Series are distributed via mailing lists to libraries, universities, and similar institu- tions throughout the world. Manuscripts submitted for series publication are received by the Smithsonian Institution Scholarly Press from authors with direct affilia- tion with the various Smithsonian museums or bureaus and are subject to peer review and review for compliance with manuscript preparation guidelines. General requirements for manuscript preparation are on the inside back cover of printed volumes.
