Is the Chestnut-Capped Foliage-Gleaner Clibanornis Is the Chestnut-capped Foliage-gleaner ISSN 1981-8874 Clibanornis rectirostris (Wied, 1831) 9 77198188700350 0 1 8 (Passeriformes: Furnariidae) a typical gallery forest species endemic to the Cerrado region? Marcelo Ferreira de Vasconcelos1,2, Luiz Gabriel Mazzoni2, Alyne Perillo2, Thiago Oliveira e Almeida3, Filipe Cristovão Ribeiro da Cunha4, Christian Regis da Silva5, Eduardo José Gazzinelli6 & Santos D’Angelo Neto7 The Chestnut-capped Foliage-gleaner (Clibanornis rectirostris) is considered an endemic species of the Cerrado re- gion, having a strong association with gallery forests occurring in this mor- phoclimatic domain (Silva 1995, Betini et al. 1998, Silva & Vielliard 2000, Fa- ria et al. 2012). Despite the finding of Marini (2001) that the Chestnut-capped Foliage-glea- ner is not sensitive to forest fragmen- tation and probably has the capacity to cross unfavorable landscape matrices, recent studies have suggested the spe- cies’ vulnerability based on its depen- dence on the highly impacted gallery forests (Faria et al. 2012). Furthermore, future range loss and shifts are expec- ted due climate change (Marini et al. 2009). Here, we present records of C. rec- tirostris in habitats not represented by gallery forests of the Cerrado, including the first observations in the Atlantic Forest region. We also comment on the species’ conservation based on these new records. Our records were made opportunisti- cally while conducting several avifau- nal surveys in the states of Minas Ge- rais and São Paulo, between the years of 2001 and 2015. Whenever possible, records were documented by photo- graphs, recordings of vocalizations and specimen collecting. Vocalizations were deposited in the Arquivo Sonoro Elias Coelho (ASEC), Rio de Janeiro, Figure 1.

Records in other habitats not represen- ted by gallery forests in the Cerrado region Arboreal caatinga In January and July 2013, during an avifaunal survey conducted at Riacho dos Machados municipality, northern Mi- nas Gerais, in a transitional zone between the Caatinga and the Cerrado, MFV, TOA and CRS found C. rectirostris in typical dry arboreal caatinga, without any water- course or gallery forests (Figure 1). Four specimens, two males and two females (MCNA-2753, 3583, 3584, 3587 - Figu- re 2), were collected in two fragments of arboreal caatinga (16o03’S, 43o08’W and 16o04’S, 43o07’W).

Cerradão woodland On 19 January 2004, MFV collected a female specimen (DZUFMG-4101 - Fi- gure 3) in a cerradão woodland at Fazen- da Jacaré-Riachão (18o38’S, 45o05’W), Felixlândia municipality, Minas Gerais state. This area was represented by tall typical cerradão trees of c. 8 m with dense tangles of vines. Despite not being close to any gallery forest, a small vere- da palm grove occurred 500 m from the collecting site. On 10 January 2015, another female (MCNA-4230 - Figure 2) was obtained by MFV in a cerradão habitat in Rifai- na municipality (20°00’S, 47°25’W), São Paulo state. This site is physiognomically very similar to that in Felixlândia and la- cks any watercourse in its interior (Figu- re 4), despite being located near second- -growth gallery forests of Rio Grande, c.

Atualidades Ornitológicas, 185, maio e junho de 2015 - www.ao.com.br 41 The species was also recorded during several months between 2010 and 2012 in an avifaunal inventory conducted at the campus of the Pontifícia Universida- de Católica de Minas Gerais (19°55’S, 43°59’W), isolated in an urban matrix of the large city of Belo Horizonte, in the state of Minas Gerais (Vasconcelos et al. 2013). We estimated three individuals li- ving in a small forest fragment of less than 7 ha inside the campus. Vegetation cover of this urban forest fragment is re- presented by semideciduous forest and lacks riverine habitats. Nevertheless, there are some natural barrancos in its interior and a small artificial lake (Figu- re 5). In the MCNA there is a specimen obtained from this area (MCNA-2441 - Figure 2). Despite the majority of recor- ds having come from the forest fragment, in a single occasion one individual was observed when singing in the canopy of a “castanheira” tree (Terminalia catappa) in the urbanized area of the campus, 250 m away from the forest fragment.

R. Lamas on 14 January 2001 in second-growth forest on the left bank of Rio Suaçuí Grande (18°21’S, 42°31’W), São Pedro do Su- açuí municipality, Minas Gerais. The area was very degraded by selective lo- gging and the presence of cattle, with a very open understory. Nevertheless, there were several ravines on the river margin. The bird was vocalizing from a dense clump of exotic bamboo (Bambusa sp.). Between 22 and 30 December 2003, SDN and MFV observed and heard an individual of C. rectirostris in the pro- perty of Mr. Onofre Sandinha (17°08’S, 42°44’W), Leme do Prado municipality, near the limits of the Acauã Ecological Station. The area is represented by typi- cal semideciduous Atlantic Forest (Ka- Figure 5.

The region possesses typical semideciduous Atlantic Forest fragments (Figure 7) interspersed with pastures and second growth habitats. Barrancos were very common in this area, either within the forests or in forest edges and pastures. On 17 March 2011 the species was re- corded in a fragment of Atlantic Forest in the municipality of Carlos Chagas, eas- tern Minas Gerais. EJG heard the voca- lizations of four individuals in a riverine forest on the right bank of the Rio Mucuri (17°36’S, 41°02’W). The forest area was very narrow, with open understory and a small flooded area that was soaked with the accumulated rain of the past days. The surroundings of this forest were composed of a dirt road and deforested slopes with isolated shrubs. On 13 April 2011, FCRC collected two females, an adult and a juvenile (MCNA 1550, 1551 - Figure 2), in a fragment of semideciduous forest in the municipali- ty of Almenara, Minas Gerais (16°00’S, Figure 6.

The Neotropical ovenbirds (Furnariidae) are an adaptive radiation of suboscines renowned for the diversity of their nests. Like most altricial insectivores, they generally exhibit biparental care. One tribe, Philydorini, includes 46 species thought to nest in either underground burrows or tree cavities, nest types traditionally treated as equivalent in phylogenetic studies. Their parental care systems are poorly known, but could help illuminate how uniparental care – typically associated with frugivory – can arise in insectivores. We examined the extent to which nest placement, parental care, and associated reproductive traits map onto two major clades of Philydorini identified by genetic hypotheses. We review published literature and present new information from the Atlantic Forest of Argentina, including the first nest descriptions for Ochre-breasted Foliage-gleaners (Anabacerthia lichtensteini) and Sharp-billed Treehunters (Heliobletus contaminatus). In the Automolus-Thripadectes-Clibanornis clade (including Philydor rufum), 134 of 138 reported nests were in underground burrows. In the Syndactyla-Anabacerthia-Anabazenops clade (including Heliobletus, Philydor atricapillus, and Philydor erythrocercum), 44 of 48 nests were in tree cavities.

  • Supplemental Wing Shape and Dispersal Analysis
    Data Supplement High dispersal ability inhibits speciation in a continental radiation of passerine birds Santiago Claramunt, Elizabeth P. Derryberry, J. V. Remsen, Jr. & Robb T. Brumfield Museum of Natural Science and Department of Biological Sciences, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, LA 70803, USA HAND-WING INDEX AND FLIGHT PERFORMANCE IN NEOTROPICAL FOREST BIRDS We investigated the relationship between wing shape and flight distances determined during 'dispersal challenge' experiments conducted in Gatun Lake in the Panama Canal (Moore et al. 2008). During the experiments, birds were released from a boat at incremental distances from shore and the distance flown or the success or failure in reaching the coast was recorded. To investigated the relationship between the hand-wing index and flight distance in Neotropical birds we used data on mean distance flown from table 3 in ref. We estimated hand-wing indices for the 10 species reported in those experiments (Table S1) . Wing measurements were taken by SC for four males of each species at LSUMNS. The relationship between the hand-wing index and distance flown was evaluated statistically using phylogenetic generalized least-squares (PGLS, Freckleton et al. 2002). We generated a phylogeny for the species involved in the experiment or an appropriate surrogate using DNA sequences of the slow-evolving RAG 1 gene from GenBank (Table S2). A maximum likelihood ultrametric tree was generated in PAUP* (Swofford 2003) using a GTR+! model of nucleotide substitution rates, empirical nucleotide frequencies, and enforcing a molecular clock. We found that the hand-wing index was strongly related to mean distance flown (R2 = 0.68, F = 20, d.f.

P. Ericson Irestedt, M., Fjeldsa˚, J. and Ericson, P. G. P. 2006. Evolution of the ovenbird- woodcreeper assemblage (Aves: Furnariidae) Á/ major shifts in nest architecture and adaptive radiation. Á/ J. Avian Biol. 37: 260Á/272 The Neotropical ovenbirds (Furnariidae) form an extraordinary morphologically and ecologically diverse passerine radiation, which includes many examples of species that are superficially similar to other passerine birds as a resulting from their adaptations to similar lifestyles. The ovenbirds further exhibits a truly remarkable variation in nest types, arguably approaching that found in the entire passerine clade. Herein we present a genus-level phylogeny of ovenbirds based on both mitochondrial and nuclear DNA including a more complete taxon sampling than in previous molecular studies of the group. The phylogenetic results are in good agreement with earlier molecular studies of ovenbirds, and supports the suggestion that Geositta and Sclerurus form the sister clade to both core-ovenbirds and woodcreepers. Within the core-ovenbirds several relationships that are incongruent with traditional classifications are suggested. Among other things, the philydorine ovenbirds are found to be non-monophyletic. The mapping of principal nesting strategies onto the molecular phylogeny suggests cavity nesting to be plesiomorphic within the ovenbirdÁ/woodcreeper radiation. It is also suggested that the shift from cavity nesting to building vegetative nests is likely to have happened at least three times during the evolution of the group.

ABSTRACT: Territorial system and foraging behavior of the henna-capped foliage-gleaner Hylocryptus rectirostris (Aves: Furnariidae). The present study describes the territorial system and foraging behavior of Hylocryptus rectirostris, an endemic bird of gallery forests of the Cerrado region in central South America. Field work was carried out from April 2004 to November 2005 at the ‘Parque Nacional da Serra do Cipó’ (19°20’S, 43°37’W), Santana do Riacho city, state of Minas Gerais, southeastern Brazil. Each individual was captured and marked with colored bands and observed in the gallery forests of the river Cipó. The existence of a territorial system was verified through play‑back. The location of marked individuals was recorded with GPS. Territorial size was estimated using the minimum convex polygon method. When the birds were observed foraging, we recorded the substrate type, height relative to the ground and distance to the closest river bank. Defensive territorial behavior was observed in the majority of events, with response in 71% of total events, 65% of which in the breeding season and 79% in the non‑breeding period, a non‑significant difference.

That got our tour off to a good start with Horned Screamer nearby, Rufous-necked Wood-Rail, and Jet Antbird. From there we traveled south to Buenaventura, one of a number of Jocotoco Conservation Foundation reserves visited on the 1 www.tropicalbirding.com +1-409-515-9110 [email protected] Page Tropical Birding Trip Report SOUTHERN ECUADOR January 2017 trip. Arguably, the Long-wattled Umbrellabird was the key bird seen there (as usual), but this was complimented by plenty of other top-notch birds too, like Club-winged Manakin, Gray-backed Hawk, Ochraceous Attila, and El Oro Parakeet (Buenaventura represents the only reliable place to see this very rare and extremely local parakeet). Between Buenaventura and our next Jocotoco Foundation reserve, Jorupe, we added yet more quality to the bird list with specialties like White-headed Brushfinch. Jorupe is a hotspot for endemics of the Tumbesian region, one of the richest mainland areas for endemics in the world, and this tour proved no different; the excellent feeders produced White-tailed Jay and Pale-browed Tinamou, and the reserve and day trips from there produced Watkins’s Antpitta, Ecuadorian Piculet, West Peruvian Screech-Owl, Henna-headed Foliage-Gleaner, and Elegant Crescentchest.

  • Southern ECUADOR: Nov-Dec 2019 (Custom Tour)
    Tropical Birding Trip Report Southern ECUADOR: Nov-Dec 2019 (custom tour) Southern Ecuador 18th November – 6th December 2019 Hummingbirds were a big feature of this tour; with 58 hummingbird species seen, that included some very rare, restricted range species, like this Blue-throated Hillstar. This critically-endangered species was only described in 2018, following its discovery a year before that, and is currently estimated to number only 150 individuals. This male was seen multiple times during an afternoon at this beautiful, high Andean location, and was widely voted by participants as one of the overall highlights of the tour (Sam Woods). Tour Leader: Sam Woods Photos: Thanks to participant Chris Sloan for the use of his photos in this report. 1 www.tropicalbirding.com +1-409-515-9110 [email protected] Tropical Birding Trip Report Southern ECUADOR: Nov-Dec 2019 (custom tour) Southern Ecuador ranks as one of the most popular South American tours among professional bird guides (not a small claim on the so-called “Bird Continent”!); the reasons are simple, and were all experienced firsthand on this tour… Ecuador is one of the top four countries for bird species in the World; thus high species lists on any tour in the country are a given, this is especially true of the south of Ecuador. To illustrate this, we managed to record just over 600 bird species on this trip (601) of less than three weeks, including over 80 specialties. This private group had a wide variety of travel experience among them; some had not been to South America at all, and ended up with hundreds of new birds, others had covered northern Ecuador before, but still walked away with 120 lifebirds, and others who’d covered both northern Ecuador and northern Peru, (directly either side of the region covered on this tour), still had nearly 90 new birds, making this a profitable tour for both “veterans” and “South American Virgins” alike.
