A threshold response to habitat disturbance by forest birds in the Choco Andean corridor, northwest Ecuador. Biodiversity and Conservation, 18: 2421-2431. E-mail: stobr AT warnell.uga.edu Abstract: Understanding how organisms use disturbed habitats and how that use can be increased is a pivotal question in conservation biology. We analyzed the relationship between upper canopy cover, a measure of disturbance, and habitat occupancy and use by 18 forest bird species in northwest Ecuador. From May 22 to June 28, 2006 we conducted five, 10-min 50 m-radius point counts at each of the 28 sites (140 total) representing a gradient of habitat disturbance from 1,285 to 1,787 m in elevation. Both habitat occupancy and use showed strong threshold responses at 21–40% upper canopy cover with the probability of occupancy increasing from about 0 to 1 and emigration (the probability that a species would stop using the site during the study period) decreasing from about 1 to 0. Bird surveys ended near the beginning of the driest time of year and high levels of emigration in more disturbed areas imply that forest birds stopped using these areas as the dry season approached, possibly due to a shift in food resources. Patterns of habitat use and occupancy suggest that disturbed habitat in the region (which is primarily abandoned pasture) may only be valuable to forest birds after a specific level of regeneration and during certain times of the year.

Migratory songbird use of shade coffee in the Venezuelan Andes with implications for conservation of cerulean warbler. Biological Conservation, 142: 2476-2483. E-mail: bakermans.1 AT osu.edu Abstract: Although previous studies have demonstrated high use of shade coffee plantations by Neotropical migratory birds, we still have a poor understanding of the suitability of shade coffee plantations as habitat on the wintering grounds. We studied density, body condition, and survivorship of Neotropical migrants, with emphasis on cerulean warbler (*Dendroica cerulea*), in primary forest and shade coffee plantations in Venezuela. We worked in three primary forest sites and three shade coffee plantations on the western slope of the Cordillera de Mérida of the Andes Mountains. At each site, we surveyed migrants with distance-based line transects and mist-netted and banded migrants during November–February 2005/06 and 2006/07. In addition, we estimated apparent monthly survival for cerulean warbler based on 29 color-banded individuals. Densities of migrants were 3–14× higher in shade coffee plantations than primary forest sites, even after accounting for differences in detectability. Apparent monthly survival of cerulean warblers was estimated at 97% and overwinter persistence was similarly high. In addition, cerulean warblers demonstrated high between-season fidelity, with 65% of the birds banded the first year being resighted during the second year. Interestingly, immature birds returned at nearly half the rate as did adults. Banding data indicated that body condition increased significantly as the season progressed for cerulean warblers, Tennessee warblers (*Vermivora peregrina*), and American redstarts (*Setophaga ruticilla*). Collectively, these data provide evidence that shade coffee plantations offer high quality wintering habitat for Neotropical migrants, including cerulean warblers.

Manuel A. Plenge Lima, Peru Castillo-Guerrero, José Alfredo, Guillermo Fernández, Guillermina Arellano, and Eric Mellink 2009. Diurnal abundance, foraging behavior and habitat use by non-breeding Marbled Godwits and Willets at Guerrero Negro, Baja California Sur, México. Waterbirds, 32: 400-427. E-mail: emellink AT cicese.mx Abstract: Seasonal variation in abundance, time activity budgets and foraging behavior of non-breeding Marbled Godwits (*Limosa fedoa*) and Willets (*Tringa semipalmata*) were compared at four sites at the Laguna Ojo de Liebre—Guerrero Negro saltworks complex, Baja California, Mexico. Habitat use varied between species, seasons and sites. Marbled Godwits (182 ± 44.1 individuals per site) were more abundant than Willets (70 ± 16.1 individuals per site), reflecting their overall pattern in northwestern Mexico. Overall abundance diminished throughout the season (270 ± 69 individuals per site in Oct–Nov, 85 ± 21 in Dec–Jan and 60.2 ± 24 in Feb–Mar), although it remained high at mudflat. Consistent with bill length, Willets foraged mostly by pecking, while Marbled Godwits did so mostly by probing (proportion of pecks: 0.95 ± 0.17 and 0.4 ± 0.27, respectively). Marbled Godwits changed their time activity budgets through the wintering season: time devoted to vigilance changed from 8–23% in Oct–Nov, to 0.4–8% in Feb–Mar whereas time devoted to feeding changed from 12–40% in Oct–Nov to 59–74% in Feb–Mar. This pattern seems to reflect a change in priorities; surviving early in the season and accumulating energy to migrate, later. In both species, differences in use of habitat appeared to be related to site characteristics such as substrate hardness and risk of predation. The mudflat was the site most used and the saltmarsh, the least used. Some individuals in both species used the more risky saltmarsh, but increased the time devoted to vigilance. Thus, habitat quality for non-breeding shorebirds depended on both benefits and costs for foraging birds, and habitat choice by specific individuals was complex and probably involved condition- or state-dependent tradeoffs that balanced metabolic requirements, safety priorities, and, perhaps, social status or dominance. Kushlan, James A. 2009. Feeding repertoire of the Boat-Billed Heron (*Cochlearius cochlearius*). Waterbirds, 32: 408-414. E-mail: jkushlan AT earthlink.net Abstract: The Boat-billed Heron's (*Cochlearius cochlearius*) atypical bill has inspired a half-century of literature addressing its possible ecological and evolutionary implications. Based on a review of this literature and results of a field study conducted in San Blas, Mexico, it can be concluded that the Boat-billed Heron is nocturnal, visuallyfeeding, with a limited and simple feeding repertoire and diet. The heron forages by standing on branches and roots and by walking slowly in shallow water capturing fish and shrimp by lunging and by scooping the surface of the water with its bill. Except for scooping, the feeding repertoire is unexceptional and moreover is typical of other herons that feed by perching on low-hanging branches. Similarly, its food is similar to other nocturnal herons feeding in the same place. Herons obtained about 60 prey items per day. Thus the outlandish bill appears not to be detrimental to the bird's foraging successfully in a manner typical of herons using similar habitat. The bill has been shown to be used in social signaling, which may be its primary contemporary function. Based on available information the exceptional bill of the Boat-billed Heron appears to have few, if any, systematic or ecological implications. Kushlan, James A. 2009. Foraging and plumage coloration of the Galapagos Lava Heron (*Butorides Striata* Sundevalli). Waterbirds, 32: 415–422. E-mail: jkushlan AT earthlink.net Abstract: The Lava Heron (*Butorides striata sundevalli*) is a distinctively dark-plumaged heron that feeds along the rocky intertidal shoreline of the Galapagos Islands. The open shoreline used by the Lava Heron differs markedly from the dense swamps used by most populations of *Butorides*. Larva Herons feed by standing and by walking slowly at the water's edge, averaging only three steps per minute and catching primarily fish, crabs and prawns. Lava Heron foraging is characterized not only by its use of open shoreline, but by an extreme dependence on standing feeding behavior, frequent shifting of feeding sites following the tidal flux across a broad intertidal zone, and importance of crabs in the diet; but overall its foraging does not differ significantly from that used by *Butorides*elsewhere. The fundamental *Butorides* foraging strategy appears to have accommodated the habitat shift from dense bushes to open shoreline. Individuals maintain separate feeding territories, with the nest being placed within the territory of one of the pair. Feeding success was 0.12 prey per minute. In that nesting production is low contrasted with other populations, it appears that food may overall be limiting. The Galapagos population differs from South American Striated Herons (*Butorides striata striata*) in having a longer and stouter bill, a feature that correlates with the importance of crabs in the diet. Although known for its distinctive dark color, plumage ranges from all black to light grey, similar to South American birds. The dark color has been assumed to provide camouflage against the similarly colored shoreline, but its specific function has not been explained. Dark ventral plumage likely provides camouflage from active fish and crab prey. Dark dorsal plumage likely provides camouflage on the dark shoreline from above. Although the Galapagos lacks predators, four bird species steal prey from herons, suggesting that the dark plumage of Lava Herons may function to provide camouflage against piratical birds. Whereas the complex plumage patterns of most *Butorides*populations renders those birds cryptic within their usual densely vegetated habitat, dark plumage is similarly cryptic along the exposed dark shoreline of the Galapagos. Casaux, Ricardo J., Cecilia Y. Di Prinzio, Maria L. Bertolin, and Maria A. Tartara 2009. Diet of the Neotropic Cormorant *Phalacrocorax olivaceus* at West Chubut, Patagonia, Argentina. Waterbirds, 32: 444–449. E-mail: rcasaux AT dna.gov.ar Abstract: A total of 124 pellets (regurgitated casts) produced by the Neotropic Cormorant (*Phalacrocorax olivaceus*) were collected monthly between January 2004 and November 2005 from a roosting site at Rosario Lake Chubut, Patagonia, Argentina. Analyses of the samples showed that fish were the most frequent and important prey by number, followed by crustaceans and molluscs. The three fish species inhabiting Rosario Lake were represented in the diet which suggests that this bird is a generalist feeder. However, cormorants positively selected for Patagonian Silverside and Rainbow Trout, which might be related to their foraging strategy and/or to the conspicuousness of potential prey. The estimated annual fish intake by cormorants at Rosario Lake ranged between 2.3–3.7 tons of fish or 16,000–26,000 individuals. The impact produced by the Neotropic Cormorant on recreational fish resources and local fish farms appears negligible.

Plenge Lima, Peru García-Trejo, Erick A., Alejandro Espinosa de los Monteros, Ma. del Coro Arizmendi, and Adolfo G. Navarro-Sigüenza 2009. Molecular systematics of the Red-Bellied and Golden-Fronted Woodpeckers. Condor, 111: 442-452. E-mail: eagt AT hp.fciencias.unam.mx Abstract: The Red-bellied Woodpecker species group (*Melanerpes* *carolinus*and relatives) is composed of five morphologically similar species whose limits have been unclear. The relationship of the Golden-fronted Woodpecker (*M*. *aurifrons*) to the remainder of the group is particularly uncertain. We used mitochondrial DNA sequences to examine the phylogeny of this group and its close relatives. We sequenced 872 bp, including fragments of the genes for ND2, ND3, COIII, and tRNAmet, of 11 species of *Melanerpes*. We constructed trees from combined sequences by using the maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference approaches. We found that *M*. *aurifrons* is not monophyletic but rather consists of two clades, one comprising tropical populations (*M. santacruzi*), the other, consisting of northern populations, being sister to *M*. *carolinus*. The Caribbean species, *M*. * superciliaris*, is sister to the *carolinus-aurifrons* clade. The group as a whole appears to have diversified into multiple lineages in response to several episodes of vicariance, perhaps associated with glacial-interglacial cycles. As a result of these findings, major taxonomic changes in the group are needed. Durães, Renata 2009. Lek structure and male display repertoire of Blue-Crowned Manakins in eastern Ecuador. Condor, 111: 453-461. E-mail: rduraes AT ucla.edu Abstract: Among lek-breeding manakins (Pipridae), courtship repertoires are extremely diverse and have played a central role in establishing phylogenetic relationships within the family. Behaviorally, *Lepidothrix* is among the least known genera in the family, with brief accounts published for only two of the eight species. Here, I describe the lek structure, territory characteristics, vocalizations and behavioral display elements of the Blue-crowned Manakin (*Lepidothrix coronata coronata*) in eastern Ecuador. From 2003 to 2006, I located all leks in two 100-ha study plots (average of 13.5 leks 100 ha-1) and recorded behavior at individual territories in ten leks. Males displayed solitarily or at exploded leks with up to seven individual territories of ~0.1 ha; within a lek, territory centers were separated by about 90 m. Males in definitive and predefinitive plumage (2 years and older) held stable territories, whereas first-year, female-plumaged males did not hold stable territories but sometimes associated loosely with territorial males. I noted 4 vocalizations and 11 male display behaviors during solitary and group displays involving other males and females, revealing a repertoire considerably more diverse than previously documented.

Heterospecific pairing and hybridization between wild Humboldt and Magellanic Penguins in southern Chile. Condor, 111: 544-550. E-mail: asimeone AT unab.cl Abstract: The Humboldt (*Spheniscus humboldti*) and Magellanic (*S. magellanicus*) Penguins overlap over 1100 km along the coast of the southeastern Pacific Ocean, and much has been hypothesized about hybridization between them. We visited Puñihuil and Metalqui islands, southern Chile (41-42° S), where both species form mixed colonies; these are also the Humboldt Penguin's southernmost colonies. We observed one mixed pair attending chicks and two adults of intermediate color pattern, one of which tended a chick at a nest. Additionally, on the basis of analysis of 30 blood samples of Humboldt Penguins from the Puñihuil colony, we report the first documented Humboldt × Magellanic Penguin hybrid. Judged from the pattern of restriction fragments, this bird had a Magellanic dam and a Humboldt sire. We sequenced mitochondrial and nuclear copies independently to confirm these results. We suggest that hybridization at Metalqui and Puñihuil is encouraged by the low abundance of the Humboldt Penguin rather than by failed mate recognition. Sturge, Rachel J., Frode Jacobsen, Bryan B. Rosensteel, Richie J. Neale, and Kevin E. Omland 2009. Colonization of South America from Caribbean Islands confirmed by molecular phylogeny with increased taxon sampling. Condor, 111: 575-579. E-mail: rsturge1 AT umbc.edu Abstract: A previous phylogeny of New World orioles (*Icterus*) suggested a possible example of island-to-mainland colonization. Using two mitochondrial genes (cytochrome *b* and ND2), that study showed that 43 of the recognized species/ subspecies are divided into three clades (A, B, C). Because of a lack of fresh tissue, however, two key taxa--the South American Orange-crowned Oriole (*I. auricapillus*) and the Caribbean Hispaniola Oriole (*I.** dominicensis dominicensis*)--were missing from that analysis. To complete the phylogeny, we sequenced both genes for these taxa and reconstructed a well-supported phylogeny via parsimony and maximum-likelihood analyses. The addition of *I. d. dominicensis* to the phylogeny confirms that the Greater Antillean Oriole (*I.** dominicensis*) is polyphyletic, and taxonomic revision of this species complex is warranted. Also, the placement of *I. auricapillus* and *I.** d. dominicensis* within clade A has important implications for biogeography. The revised phylogeny implies that clade A orioles colonized mainland South America from Caribbean islands. Orioles thus provide a striking example of reverse colonization that contradicts the traditional assumption in island biogeography of mainland-to-island colonization.

Plenge Lima, Peru Christianini, Alexander V., and Paulo S. Oliveira 2009. The relevance of ants as seed rescuers of a primarily bird-dispersed tree in the Neotropical cerrado savanna. Oecologia, 160: 735-745. E-mail: pso AT unicamp.br Abstract: The scale at which seed dispersal operates has many implications for the spatial patterns of plant recruitment and diversity. We investigated the effect of short- (ants) and long-distance (birds) seed dispersal of the fleshy-fruited melastome, *Miconia rubiginosa*, in the Brazilian savanna. We estimated the contribution of dispersal vectors to the removal of the fruit crop from the canopy (birds), and once seeds have reached the cerrado floor (ants) over two fruiting seasons. Birds (13 species) removed up to 23.7% of the fruit crop from the crown, but dropped a substantial proportion of fruits beneath the parent plant. Birds removed a greater proportion of fruits from trees producing large fruit crops, as predicted by the fruit crop size hypothesis. However, up to 18.9% of the fruit crop fell beneath the parent plant as ripe fruit. Most fallen fruits were removed by ants (seven genera), which are likely to play a relatively important role in terms of the quantity of seeds dispersed, especially for plants producing small fruit crops (a conceptual model is presented). Birds and ants did not influence seed germination, but they differ in terms of the spatial scale of dispersal and deposition patterns. Ants probably play an important role in the local population dynamics of *Miconia*, whereas birds are responsible for long-distance dispersal associated with the colonization of new patches and metapopulation dynamics. By removing seeds from bird droppings, ants may also reshape at a finer scale the seed rain generated by primary dispersers. Indeed, seedlings and saplings of *Miconia* are more frequently found around leaf-cutter ant nests than in control areas away from ant nests or around large *Miconia* trees. The quantitative component of dispersal effectiveness by ants acting as “rescuersâ€� of seeds that fail to be dispersed, or fall under parent trees, is probably more important than currently recognized in other systems. Martínez del Rio, Carlos, Pablo Sabat, Richard Anderson-Sprecher, and Sandra P. Gonzalez 2009. Dietary and isotopic specialization: the isotopic niche of three *Cinclodes* ovenbirds. Oecologia, 161: 149-159. E-mail: cmdelrio AT uwyo.edu Abstract: By comparing the isotopic composition of tissues deposited at different times, we can identify individuals that shift diets over time and individuals with constant diets. We define an individual as an isotopic specialist if tissues deposited at different times have similar isotopic composition. If tissues deposited at different times differ in isotopic composition we define an individual as an isotopic generalist. Individuals can be dietary generalists but isotopic specialists if they feed on the same resource mixture at all times. We assessed the degree of isotopic and dietary specialization in three related Chilean bird species that occupy coastal and/or freshwater environments: *Cinclodes oustaleti*, *Cinclodes patagonicus*, and *Cinclodes nigrofumosus*. *C. oustaleti* individuals were both isotopic and dietary generalists. Tissues deposited in winter (liver and muscle) had distinct stable C (δ13C) and stable N isotope ratio (δ15N) values from tissues deposited in the summer (wing feathers) suggesting that birds changed the resources that they used seasonally from freshwater habitats in the summer to coastal habitats in the winter. Although the magnitude of seasonal isotopic change was high, the direction of isotopic change varied little among individuals. *C. patagonicus* included both isotopic specialists and generalists, as well as dietary specialists and generalists. The isotopic composition of the feathers and liver of some *C. patagonicus* individuals was similar, whereas that of others differed. In *C. patagonicus*, there were large inter-individual differences in the magnitude and the direction of seasonal isotopic change. All individuals of *C. nigrofumosus* were both isotopic and dietary specialists. The distribution of δ13C and δ15N values overlapped broadly among tissues and clustered in a small, and distinctly intertidal, region of δ space. Assessing individual specialization and unraveling the factors that influence it, have been key questions in animal ecology for decades. Stable isotope analyses of several tissues in appropriate study systems provide an unparalleled opportunity to answer them.

Although of Caribbean birds it may be of interest. Manuel A. Plenge Lima, Peru Temeles, Ethan J., Carolyn R. Koulouris, Sarah E. Sander, W. John Kress 2009. Effect of flower shape and size on foraging performance and trade-offs in a tropical hummingbird. Ecology, 90, No. 5: pp. 1147-1161. [West Indies] E-mail: ejtemeles AT amherst.edu Abstract: Matches between the bills of hummingbirds and the flowers they visit have been interpreted as examples of coadaptation and feeding specialization. Observations of birds feeding at flowers longer or shorter than their bills combined with a lack of experimental evidence for foraging trade-offs, however, fail to support these interpretations. We addressed these inconsistencies by considering a seldom-studied dimension of hummingbird–flower relationships, the shape of bills and flowers, through experiments on the Purple-throated Carib, *Eulampis jugularis*, and its major food plant, *Heliconia*, in the eastern Caribbean. Bills of male *E. jugularis* are considerably shorter and straighter than bills of females. We examined foraging performances and trade-offs during visits to natural heliconias and 34 artificial flowers of differing length and curvature. Supporting predictions based on matches between bill and flower morphology, handling times of females were significantly shorter than those of males at the long, curved flowers of a green morph of *H. bihai*. Contrary to predictions, handling times of males were not significantly shorter than handling times of females at the short flowers of *H. caribaea*. At artificial flowers, maximum extraction depths of females were significantly longer than maximum extraction depths of males at all curved flowers, but not at straight flowers. Handling times of females were significantly shorter than handling times of males at the longest artificial flowers for all curvatures, whereas handling times of males were significantly shorter at short, straight, artificial flowers, but only while hover-feeding without a perch. Within each sex, handling times were inversely related to bill length at long flowers for all shapes. Taken together, these performance trade-offs suggest that the long, curved bills of females are adapted for feeding from long, curved flowers, whereas the short bills of males are adapted for hover-feeding from short, straighter flowers. In addition, the finding that differences in feeding performance occur at the extremes of floral phenotypes suggests that the evolution of bill morphology may be driven by a small subset of the flowers visited by a hummingbird species. Subject: NEOLIT: Ecología Austral, 19 (1) From: Manuel Plenge <plenge.manuel AT GMAIL.COM> Date: Sat, 7 Nov 2009 10:08:40 -0500 Neoorners, I have not seen this paper in NEOLIT. Manuel A. Plenge Lima, Peru Cozzani, Natalia, and Sergio M. Zalba 2009. Estructura de la vegetación y selección de hábitats reproductivos en aves del pastizal pampeano. Ecología Austral, 19: 35-44. [Argentina] Download: http://www.scielo.org.ar/scielo.php?script=sci_issuetoc&pid=1667-782X20090001&lng=es&nrm=iso Abstract: La transformación acelerada de los pastizales naturales en tierras destinadas a actividades agrícolas y ganaderas afecta de manera particular a las aves de pastizal, cuya reproducción depende de forma estricta de estos ambientes. En este trabajo estudiamos las especies de aves que anidan en el Parque Provincial Ernesto Tornquist, ubicado al sudoeste de la provincia de Buenos Aires. Durante tres temporadas reproductivas realizamos búsquedas intensivas de nidos, registramos las características de los sitios donde estaban construidos y evaluamos las preferencias de las distintas especies por sectores de pajonales cerrados (dominados por Paspalum quadrifarium y Cortaderia selloana) o por áreas de flechillar (pastizales dominados por especies de Stipa y Piptochaetium). Hallamos 214 nidos construidos en matas de pasto o en el suelo, correspondientes a 12 especies. El 76.65% de los nidos se hallaban en sectores de pajonal, pese a que los pajonales representaban solo el 7.75% del área de trabajo, lo cual refleja una preferencia significativa por estos ambientes. Resultó llamativa la abundancia reducida de nidos de especies como Ammodramus humeralis, Cistothorus platensis y Anthus correndera y la ausencia total de otras, como la perdiz colorada (Rhynchotus rufescens), todas ellas aves obligadas de pastizal, asociadas fundamentalmente a ambientes de flechillar. Nuestros resultados podrían reflejar una vulnerabilidad particular de las aves que anidan en los flechillares, los ambientes más afectados en su estructura por el efecto del pastoreo de grandes herbívoros.

Tello" <jtello AT AMNH.ORG> Date: Fri, 6 Nov 2009 17:40:12 -0500 The Wilson Journal of Ornithology Sep 2009 : Volume 121 Issue 3 1) Observations on the Breeding Biology of the Silky-Tailed Nightjar (Caprimulgus sericocaudatus mengeli) Fiona A. Wilkinson pg(s) 498–505 Abstract I found 15 nests of the Silky-tailed Nightjar (Caprimulgus sericocaudatus mengeli) from 1994 to 2004 at Cocha Cashu Biological Station, Manu National Park, Perú. Females and males shared incubation and brooding duties with females on the nest during the day and males on at night. Nest relief occurred between 0300–0600 and 1800–2100 hrs. Two-egg clutches were placed on bare ground or on leaf-litter in more mature strands of forest. The semi-precocial young were mobile within 24 hrs of hatching and remained in the area with an adult through the fledgling stage. Both males and females feigned injury during incubation and brooding if disturbed. Three nesting sites were used for 5 years and another for 10 years, suggesting strong site fidelity and possibly a strong pair bond among long-lived individuals. 2) Incubation in Great Tinamou (Tinamus major) Patricia L. R. Brennan pg(s) 506–511 Abstract I monitored Great Tinamou (Tinamus major) clutches between February and May 2000–2002 at La Selva Biological Station in Costa Rica, and describe observations on incubation behavior and nest attendance. Incubation lasted 17 days and began after the clutch was completed. Nest attendance during monitoring was high: birds were incubating during 249 nest checks at all incubation stages. Only five of 18 incubating birds that were monitored (34,282 min) with video and photographic cameras left the nest for a combined 257 min. There was no pattern to time of day or length of time when incubating birds left the nest. DNA from seven incubating birds was used to identify gender and all were males. All birds that sat on clutches defended their eggs and subsequent chicks, but were not recorded standing up to turn their eggs. High nest attendance and reduced parental activity at the nest may reduce nest detection by predators. 3) Breeding Seasons, Molt Patterns, and Gender and Age Criteria for Selected Northeastern Costa Rican Resident Landbirds Jared D. Wolfe, Peter Pyle, and C. John Ralph pg(s) 556–567 Abstract Detailed accounts of molt and breeding cycles remain elusive for the majority of resident tropical bird species. We used data derived from a museum review and 12 years of banding data to infer breeding seasonality, molt patterns, and age and gender criteria for 27 common landbird species in northeastern Costa Rica. Prealternate molts appear to be rare, only occurring in one species (Sporophila corvina), while presupplemental molts were not detected. Most of our study species (70%) symmetrically replace flight feathers during the absence of migrant birds; molting during this period may limit resource competition during an energetically taxing phase of the avian life-cycle. 4) Foraging Behavior of Tufted Tit-Tyrants (Anairetes parulus) in Semiarid Northcentral Chile Andrew Engilis Jr. and Douglas A. Kelt pg(s) 585–592 Abstract We studied foraging behavior of Tufted Tit-Tyrants (Anairetes parulus) in Matorral (shrubland) habitat of northcentral Chile. This species is a generalist insectivore feeding in most shrubs of Matorral habitat at our study site, although they favored three of the dominant plant species. Their foraging is typical of small tyrannid flycatchers, using rapid perch gleans coupled with hover gleans and supplemented by flycatching. They use relatively long search periods (3–5 sec) followed by rapid gleans, which is typical for small tyrannids. Their active foraging (3.1 ± 1.8 prey attacks/min) coupled with a longer search time distinguishes them from parids or regulids of the Holarctic with which they often are compared. They generally forage singly or in pairs and aggressively defend what appears to be foraging territories in winter and summer. Densities of Tufted Tit-Tyrants at our study site were higher than reported in other studies from Chile and Argentina, presumably reflecting resource availability. 5) Eggs, Nests, and Incubation Behavior of the Moustached Wren (Thryothorus genibarbis) in Manu National Park, Perú Gustavo Adolfo Londoño pg(s) 623–627 Abstract The genus Thryothorus is a wide spread genera in the Neotropics and nesting information is known for 85% of the species. I found four nests of the Moustached Wren (Thryothorus genibarbis) that were dome and bulky ball-like structures with a side entrance. All nests contained two white eggs with reddish-brown blotches. Daily nest attentiveness was 58.0% and average egg temperature was 32.5° C. Incubation behavior varied among nests and also throughout the incubation period, especially during early stages. 6) First Description of Nests and Eggs of the White-bellied Seedeater (Sporophila leucoptera) Mercival R. Francisco pg(s) 628–630 Abstract I describe nests and eggs of the White-bellied Seedeater (Sporophila leucoptera) in Brazil. Nests (n = 5) were cup-shaped and built of thin grass roots and spider web silk with thin walls allowing eggs and young to be seen through them. Nests were in trees (2.5–4.5 m above ground) and close to water. Eggs (n = 3) were white with black and brown spots concentrated at the large end and measured 19.2 × 13.0 (1.7 g), 18.7 × 13.3 (1.8 g), and 18.8 × 13.9 mm (1.8 g). Both parents fed nestlings, but only females incubated. The White-bellied Seedeater is not presently endangered, but many local populations have been extirpated because of intense commercial trapping and habitat loss. Additional knowledge on the ecology and breeding biology of seedeaters is urgently needed for development of effective conservation plans. 7) A Nest of the Marble-Faced Bristle Tyrant (Pogonotriccus ophthalmicus) with Comparative Comments on Nests of Related Genera Harold F. Greeney pg(s) 631–634 Abstract Pogonotriccus bristle tyrants are a small group of flycatchers for which few data on nest architecture are available. I describe the nest of Marble-faced Bristle Tyrant (P. ophthalmicus) from eastern Ecuador. The nest was an oven-shaped, mossy ball with a hooded side entrance attached by the back to the trunk of a large tree. I discuss aspects of nest architecture, composition, and placement which may prove useful for resolving phylogenetic hypotheses within the Leptopogon-Pogonotriccus-Pseudotriccus clade of pipromorphine flycatchers. These characters, in particular nest attachment and construction, support a close relationship between Pogonotriccus, Pseudotriccus, and Corythopis. The switch from draping material to stuffing material during construction may be a key innovation uniting these genera. 8) Description of the Nest and Eggs of the Black-cheeked Ant Tanager (Habia atrimaxillaris) Luis Sandoval and Abraham Gallo pg(s) 635–637 Abstract The Black-cheeked Ant Tanager (Habia atrimaxillaris) is endemic to the Osa Peninsula on the south Pacific coast of Costa Rica. There is little knowledge of the natural history and especially the reproductive habits of this species. We describe the nest and eggs of the Black-cheeked Ant Tanager based on observations of three nests near Puerto Jiménez, Puntarenas, Costa Rica. The nests and eggs were similar to other species of Habia supporting previous work suggesting relationships within Habia. -- Jose G.

Collecting Birds in an Isolated, Magnificent Land in the Nineteen Thirties. By Melbourne A. Carriker, Jr. Co-edited by his son Melbourne R. Carriker and Robert C. Dalgleish. Published by AuthorHouse. 452 pp. Many black and white photographs. Bird in color on cover. Price: softcover (ISBN 1420882901) $13.50, electronic copy (1420883526) $5.95. Available from bkorders AT authorhouse.com An extraordinarily vivid account by intrepid ornithologist Melbourne Armstrong Carriker, Jr. of his three expeditions in Bolivia collecting birds for the Philadelphia Academy of Natural Sciences, travelling from the torrid tropic jungles to the frozen mountain valleys. He collected a total of 8,705 bird specimens, including some new to science, and many new species of bird lice. These species are listed in two extensive appendices in the book. The author's flair for narration, perceptive observations, memory of detail, fondness of people, knowledge of Spanish and of South America, and ability to get along with Latin Americans, enrich his writing. His lively, colorful, descriptive, often humorous, piquant accounts make highly entertaining reading. He succeeded in transmiting to the reader his own special pleasure in exploration, especially of the high mountains, which he loved, and his keen enjoyment of congenial people. At the same time he did not minimiize the disappointments and hardships that were almost daily companions, and these, too, come across vividly, sometimes poignantly. Incredibly, Carriker survived his travels without major accidents, though he did experience several close calls. He held strong opinions, which he did not hesitate to express; and was strong-minded, a characteristic that was often helpful to him in close adversarial situations. Carriker was one of the great early naturalists of Central and Northern South America. His long time colleague, Dr. K. C. Emerson of the Smithsonian Institution, once commented of him that changes in ecolgy, laws, and concerns for environment probably would not permit another person to duplicate his collecting efforts. He was also exceptional in that he was not only an expert in the study of tropical bird fauna, but also of bird chewing lice." Sincerely, Ted Miller -- Dr. Edward H.

De extrema utilidad! BIRDS OF PERU MP3 SOUND COLLECTION BIRDS OF PERU MP3 SOUND COLLECTION Dear birdwatcher, Great news for birdwatchers interested in the neotropics and Peru in particular !! Peter Boesman again produced a new MP3-DVD: BIRDS OF PERU MP3 SOUND COLLECTION By Peter Boesman A MAJOR GAP GETS FILLED Peru is one of the countries with the highest diversity of birds on earth. With Birds of Peru MP3 Sound Collection, Peru finally has a major publication illustrating the vocalizations of the local avifauna. The aim of this work is to cover as many birdspecies as possible occurring in this birdrich country. It includes most of the vocalizations commonly heard while exploring Peruvian nature, with a strong focus on the ‘Peruvian landbirds’. A RECORD NUMBER OF BIRD SPECIES No less than 3347 recordings of 1530 species are included on this single MP3-DVD! The collection of recordings has a total playing time of over 28 hours, the equivalent of some 25 audio CD's !! A LANDMARK PRODUCTION Most of the recordings have been taken in Peru itself, but to increase the overall comprehensiveness an important number comes from other neo-tropical countries. Peter could use his database of over 20.000 recordings from the Neotropics. While this formed an excellent basis to start from, it is thanks to the many contributions of other recordists that this comprehensiveness could be achieved ! THE BEST OF MP3 Every recording includes embedded information such as English name, Scientific name, Date and time of recording, Locality name with coordinates, Recordist, and in some cases further remarks or comments about background species. This information can be consulted in standard software like Windows Media Player, iTunes and even on some MP3 players like the iPod series. Typically several soundfiles per species are included, e.g. to illustrate different types of vocalizations, to illustrate some degree of geographical variation or to document vocalizations from different corners of a bird’s distribution. The Birds of Peru MP3 Sound Collection is a perfect multimedia companion to the field guide ‘Birds of Peru’ by T. Schulenberg et al.. Ordering details: Birds of Peru MP3 Sound Collection order number: # 831040 EU price: € 49,95 (Europe, incl. VAT) World price: € 41,98 (outside Europe) Save yourselve time and prepare your trip to Peru by using this landmark MP3-sound collection! Stay Tuned!

E. Hayes. 2006. Trans-Atlantic vagrancy of Palearctic birds in Trinidad and Tobago. Journal of Caribbean Ornithology 19:61-72. WHITE WAGTAIL (MOTACILLA ALBA) One was seen by many observers and photographed at Waller Field, TRI, from 26 December to 2 January 1988 (Frank Oatman in ffrench 1991). Alström and Mild (2003) regarded the bird as belonging to the northeastern Palearctic race ocularis. However, no photos have been examined by the TTRBC and efforts to contact Frank Oatman, who may have taken the photos, have been unsuccessful. We request further information from anybody who has first-hand knowledge of these records or who has access to the photograph(s). Although ffrench (1991) accepted this record and the TTRBC later adopted this decision (Hayes and White 2000), we feel the record should be treated in the same manner as that of the Common Greenshank (see above). An individual in Barbados in January 1987 was thought to belong to the nominate race alba of the western Palearctic rather than either ocularis or Black-backed Wagtail (M. lugens), both recorded in eastern North America only from North Carolina (Buckley et al. 2007). There are no other records from elsewhere in the region. The pdf is available here: web2.puc.edu/Faculty/Floyd_Hayes/jco/pdf/JCO%2019(2)%202006.pdf In the publication we considered it (and the Common Greenshank, also supposedly photographed but with no available photos) hypothetical, but I suspect White Wagtail is still officially accepted by the TTRBC and the Common Greenshank is not. The Buckley et al. reference I think is now 2009 rather than 2007.

This notice was prepared last week by Mercedes Foster. "WILLIAM BELTON, 95, died on October 25, 2009 at his home in West Virginia. Bill was an active member of the ornithological community for many years following his retirement from the United States Foreign Service in 1970. He was involved in both research and conservation, including contributions to the Smithsonian bird collection from his work in Brazil, a two-volume work on the Birds of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, and the translation of Helmut Sick's Birds of Brazil from Portuguese to English. He was also involved in the Pan-American section of ICBP (now the American Bird Conservancy) and Rare (formerly Rare Center for Tropical Bird Conservation). In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the William Belton Conservation Grants Program at American Bird Conservancy. Anyone with memories of Bill to share with the family can contact his granddaughter, Lorien Belton, at avocet AT stanfordalumni.org ." My apologies if this duplicates an earlier message. Bill Belton was a friend, an unselfish pioneer in Brazilian ornithology. I think he loved Brazil and his mountain home in West Virginia equally. Phyllis and I will miss him.

However, the PDF’s have a different page number than the printed paper. Sometimes there is also a different layout regarding photographs. So, if these PDF’s are cited the following that is shown in the PDF’s should be included “published online [date]”. Manuel A.

Dear neorners. Does anybody have a copy of the following papers? Estimating species richness of tropical bird communities from rapid assessment data. Auk, The, Jul 2002 by Herzog, Sebastian K, Kessler, Michael, Cahill, Thomas M  ABSTRACT.-Rapid assessment surveys of tropical bird communities are increasingly used to estimate species richness and to determine conservation priorities, but results of different studies are often not comparable due to the lack of standardization. On the basis of computer simulations and six years of field testing, we evaluated the recently proposed "20-specieslist" survey method and statistical estimators for assessing species richness of tropical bird communities. This method generates a species-accumulation curve by subdividing consecutive observations of birds into lists of 20 species, thus relating cumulative species richness to the number of observations rather than time or space and thereby accounting for moderate differences in observer qualification and field conditions. Species accumulation curves from computer-simulated communities and two empirical data sets from Bolivia were analyzed with nine species richness estimators to evaluate estimator accuracy with respect to variations in species-list size, sample size, species-pool size, and community structure. For empirical and most simulated data sets, the MMMEAN estimator performed best, but it was more sensitive to differences in community structure than most other estimators. The CHAO 2 estimator, which was recommended by previous studies, performed reasonably well but was considerably more sensitive to sample size than MMMEAN. The bootstrap and firstand second-order jackknife estimators performed poorly. We recommend using MMMEAN or, when standard deviations of richness estimates are indispensable, CHAO 2 with 10-species lists for estimating species richness of tropical bird communities and propose a set of standard survey rules. Careful examination of estimator accumulation curves is required, however, and a technique based on the ratio between estimator and species accumulation curve is suggested to control for the confounding effects of sampling effort. Overall, the species-list method combined with statistical richness estimation is doubtlessly much more standardized and valuable than simple comparisons of one-dimensional locality lists and represents a promising tool for conservation assessment and the study of avian diversity patterns in the tropics.  Thanks.

Dear neorners. Does anybody have a copy of the following papers? Estimating species richness of tropical bird communities from rapid assessment data. Auk, The, Jul 2002 by Herzog, Sebastian K, Kessler, Michael, Cahill, Thomas M ABSTRACT.-Rapid assessment surveys of tropical bird communities are increasingly used to estimate species richness and to determine conservation priorities, but results of different studies are often not comparable due to the lack of standardization. On the basis of computer simulations and six years of field testing, we evaluated the recently proposed "20-specieslist" survey method and statistical estimators for assessing species richness of tropical bird communities. This method generates a species-accumulation curve by subdividing consecutive observations of birds into lists of 20 species, thus relating cumulative species richness to the number of observations rather than time or space and thereby accounting for moderate differences in observer qualification and field conditions. Species accumulation curves from computer-simulated communities and two empirical data sets from Bolivia were analyzed with nine species richness estimators to evaluate estimator accuracy with respect to variations in species-list size, sample size, species-pool size, and community structure. For empirical and most simulated data sets, the MMMEAN estimator performed best, but it was more sensitive to differences in community structure than most other estimators. The CHAO 2 estimator, which was recommended by previous studies, performed reasonably well but was considerably more sensitive to sample size than MMMEAN. The bootstrap and firstand second-order jackknife estimators performed poorly. We recommend using MMMEAN or, when standard deviations of richness estimates are indispensable, CHAO 2 with 10-species lists for estimating species richness of tropical bird communities and propose a set of standard survey rules. Careful examination of estimator accumulation curves is required, however, and a technique based on the ratio between estimator and species accumulation curve is suggested to control for the confounding effects of sampling effort. Overall, the species-list method combined with statistical richness estimation is doubtlessly much more standardized and valuable than simple comparisons of one-dimensional locality lists and represents a promising tool for conservation assessment and the study of avian diversity patterns in the tropics.

I tried to register to the congress to send my abstract but I only have an American Express card and I had to ask a friend for his Visa (actually I tried a couple of friends cards when it didn't work). So I couldn't fill the forms that Loretta kindly offered (since the cards weren't mine and my friends left for the weekend).  So I think my only option is the international transference but it cost 50 bucks more and if I have to pay the new fee (after the 30th) which is 510 dollars it will be plus airfare about 1500 dollars only to get there! I don't know if I'm speaking only by myself but that would be too much for a student budget. My question is, could I (and people in the same situation, if any) still pay the early registration fee? Sorry for stuff email accounts and thanks for your understanding, Alejandro   --- El sáb 31-oct-09, James J. Roper escribió: De: James J.

At the same time that many people had problems, many more others did not, which shows that the system is working fine.  If you had problems, and you turned off your pop-up blocker, checked whether your bank allows international charges, and read the instructions clearly and STILL cannot register, you may try contacting the following for their help - carine AT acquaviva.com.br,  vivian AT acquaviva.com.br, and of course, the official IOC e-mail ioc2010 AT acquaviva.com.br. If you need to write to one of these addresses, it would really help them clear up the issue if they knew exactly where the error came up.  So, if you know how to use a screen grabber, you could do that to get an image of the screen with the mistake. Otherwise, please copy the error message as completely as you can and explain as clearly as you can what happened. I noticed that a woman (can't remember her name at the moment) from Colómbia kindly posted a message with an offer to send a form that she received to help her solve the problem. You might also request that form from her. Best of luck to you all! Jim James J.

One of the reasons is the blockage of pop up displays, so when someone click on the Visa figure to continue with the payment, another window opens and the pop up are blocked, so the person cannot continue with the transaction. Another problem is that some credit cards are blocked by their banks for international transactions. In order to solve the problems in general, we made an authorization in debit form for participants to fill up with information and send back to us so we can proceed the payment here, through Mastercard or Visa machines. There is also the option for international bank transfer. Attached, follow the forms and the instructions for the bank transfer, so you can choose the option that better suites you and send back to us." If anybody wants the forms please contact me offline and I will send them.

Please be advised that I am looking into the details and the problems. As soon as I have something for you, I will e-mail again (within 24 hours, I hope) and will send another message to the Neoorn-l and Ornito-l to inform you all of what the heck is going on. I registered and paid (ouch) with no problems. One thing I am checking on is that once you try to do something and get an error, then the system may remember you for a while. I would recommend that, just in case it is this kind of error, that you allow some time to pass until your next attempt.

Genetics & Conservation Adriana Rodriguez-Ferraro, p.3 All seven existing populations of the Yellow-shouldered Amazon Amazona barbadensis are threatened by either habitat destruction or illegal poaching, or the combination of both factors. Populations are restricted to dry habitats and are isolated from each other by more humid habitats they do not use. This situation makes them highly susceptible to local extinction because once a population is extirpated it is very unlikely that wild individuals will re-colonize the area. We examined whether the remaining populations have any type of contact among them.

I agree 100%. Best Stefan Kreft ----- Original Message ----- From: Ellen Paul To: NEOORN-L AT LISTSERV.LSU.EDU Sent: Thursday, October 29, 2009 1:43 AM Subject: [NEOORN-L] website citation question I agree entirely with Stefan in terms of material that are published ONLY online but if it is a publication that is published elsewhere and just happens to be also online, cite the original source and if you want to be really nice to your readers, then you can say Available online at . So for instance if you find a paper in the Journal of Field Ornithology, but you are reading it on the Wiley Blackwell website, or BioOne, or JSTOR, the citation is still Last name, first initial. Year. Title of Paper. Journal of Field Ornithology volume: pages. It would NOT be: Author. Year. Title. http://wileyblackwell.com/jfo/etc. And if you want to be ultra-nice to your readers, then include the DOI (digital object identifier) which is a unique number that will allow you to find that item everywhere it can be found online (and maybe some of those places will be FREE!). As for material that is published only on the internet, then yes, that's the way to do it. Stuff like that tends to have a shelf-life of weeks or months (except on BIRDNET, where it lasts forever until I get the time and the energy to go in and clean house, which happens maybe once every two years). Please try to cite the actual author, and not just the owner of the website, and please try to give the complete URL, not just the URL for the home page, so the reader doesn't have to drill for it.

It generally goes more or less like this: [Author/institution] ([year]): [title of the page]. URL: [URL]; accessed [date]. Best Stefan Kreft ----- Original Message ----- From: John Arvin To: NEOORN-L AT LISTSERV.LSU.EDU Sent: Thursday, October 15, 2009 2:47 PM Subject: [NEOORN-L] website citation question I apologize if this subject has been covered before. I have questions regarding information encountered on websites. Websites are obviously impermanent and therefore uncitable. In my particular case the website is the USFWS Endangered Species listings. These are referenced to a date, volume and issue number, and page number in the Federal Register. I have never seen a citation to the Federal Register before nor have some of my more experienced friends. Clearly there must have been some document that was created by FWS and entered into the register, but I have no idea how to trace that document for a citation. Any insight greatly appreciated.
