“…For each recorded bird species, we compiled seven morphological traits from database information (Cardona‐Salazar et al 2020) or specimens from the ornithological collection of the Museo de Historia Natural—Universidad de Caldas and the Instituto de Ciencias Naturales, Universidad Nacional de Colombia, Bogotá. We used the following morphological traits: total culmen length (TC), culmen width (BW), culmen depth (BD), wing chord (WC), tail length (T), tarsus length (Ta) measured in millimeters (mm), and body weight measured in grams (Wg) (Table S3).…”

Forest plantations may have detrimental effects on biodiversity. However, these plantations are widely used to restore degraded habitats, yet their contribution to restoring functional diversity remains largely unknown. We assessed vegetation structure, resource availability, and bird abundance, as well as bird morphological, behavioral, life history, and functional diversity in 35-year-old monospecific protected Andean alder (Alnus acuminata) forest plantations in the Central Andes range at elevations between 2,400 and 2,800 m, to determine if plantation structure and resource availability favor bird functional diversity. We compared our findings to a 35-to 45-year-old secondary forest that had naturally regenerated. We found similarities in bird functional diversity but different functional composition between the Andean alder plantation and secondary forest. The bird life history, behavioral, and morphological traits from the secondary forest were more heterogeneous than those from the plantation. In addition, standing dead trees in the Andean alder plantation promoted bird functional diversity and the presence of birds in the plantation interior. Overall, vegetation structure and understory resource availability of Andean alder plantations appear sufficient to enable bird functional diversity partially resembling that of secondary forests in the region.

“…This update demonstrates that Salamina might be relevant for future studies in the avifauna in the northern region of the department of Caldas. Additionally, although other municipalities of the Cordillera Central such as Manizales, present higher species richness (up to 540 bird species) compared to Salamina, the differences are based on larger sampling efforts in protected areas such as the Los Nevados National Park and the Rio Blanco Reserve (Pfeifer et al, 2001;Ocampo, 2002;Cardona-Salazar et al, 2020). Therefore, we expect that the number of bird species for Salamina will increase with additional fieldwork.…”

Bird assemblages are increasingly threatened by anthropogenic factors, leading to growing concern about their key role in natural ecosystems. This has led to the creation of conservation programs, however, one of the greatest obstacles to this end is the lack of updated information on the species distribution and taxonomic status. In Colombia, which is recognized as the country with the greatest diversity of birds in the world, conservation efforts are often constrained by the lack of baseline information or outdated data in different regions. To contribute to the knowledge of the regional avifauna, we present an updated checklist for birds of the municipality of Salamina (Caldas), based on published information and field records. We also listed resident, threatened, and endemic species. The checklist includes 279 bird species, 23 of which are migratory, three endemics to Colombia, six are categorized as Near Threatened, and two as Vulnerable (following the IUCN criteria). We propose this updated checklist as baseline information, which can be used in future ecological and management studies of species under conservation priority.
