“…En la cuenca alta del río Pastaza, Upano y Paute se sitúa el Parque Nacional Sangay (PNS) una de las áreas protegidas mejor conservadas de Ecuador, posee amplia gradiente altitudinal, 700-5.230 msnm gran variedad ecosistémica (Ministerio del Ambiente del Ecuador, 2013) y faunística (Albuja et al, 1996;Guevara et al, 2010;. En 1983 la UNESCO lo declaró Patrimonio Natural de la Humanidad (UNESCO, 2005), estableciéndose como la única área protegida del Ecuador continental con ésta denominación.…”

In this study we present the results of inventory efforts of non-volant mammals in Sangay National Park (SNP), one of the least studied regions of Ecuador. We conducted inventories at 9 locations between December 2010 and June 2015 along a gradient of elevations between 1.300 and 3.650 m. To document the presence of non-volant mammals we used capture techniques (Sherman, Tomahawk, and pitfall traps) and direct and indirect detection techniques (track and sign surveys, interviews). The trap effort consisted of 5.730 trap/nights. We detected 86 species in the study area of which rodents were the most diverse group with 36 species (41.8%). The small mammals Chilomys instans, Neusticomys vossi, Ichthyomys cf. stolzmanni, Thomasomys fumeus, Dactilomys dactylinus and Echimys saturnus, the marsupial Marmosa rubra were detected in the SNP for the first time. The shrew-opossum Caenolestes sangay, shrew Cryptotis montivaga and rodents Phyllotis haggardi, Thomasomys fumeus, T. hutsoni, T. cf silvestris, Rhipidomys sp. nov., y Cavia patzelti are endemic species that speak to the biogeographic importance of SNP. Our results with additions from other published studies indicate the presence of 103 species of non-volant mammal, positioning it as the most diverse natural area in the Andes of Ecuador, and as the second most diverse of the tropical Andes.

“…In Ecuador, the PA are important sites for conservation and serve a wide variety of uses [33]. The Sangay National Park (PNS) is one of the best preserved PA of Ecuador [44] with a wide ecosystem [45] and faunistic diversity [46][47][48]. For the Ecuadorian Ministry of Environment, one of the principles of PA is to promote sustainable tourism, which involves the management, zoning, and establishment of strategic alliances with stakeholders [40].…”

Tourism in natural areas attracts people seeking contact with pristine ecosystems as opposed to a polluted urban habitat and a stressful pace of life. An adequate tourist route and itinerary guarantees a high level of tourist satisfaction. The objective of this study was to focus on the design of a tourist route and itinerary in the Altar Volcano, Sangay National Park, central Ecuador, by integrating tourist attractions and facilities. Within the methodological process, the main tourist attractions of the area were identified and georeferenced; then, a thematic map was elaborated using ArcGIS 10.5® software. Distances were determined by considering the transportation alternatives in relation to the base camps. Finally, the itinerary was structured by considering the possible tourist activities of each place or attraction. As a result, a tourist route was obtained that included 19 attractions and an itinerary that interacts with various activities in the study area. This research will strengthen tourism activities in the Altar Volcano, allowing for an increase in the number of visitors and the development of sustainable tourism thanks to proper planning in the use of a new tourist route.

“…Although the species usually inhabits the forest canopy, its nests tend to be sited in the lower strata, even in anthropogenically degraded areas (Skutch 1964). In central Brazil, three nests were at 1.1-3.0 m (Marini et al 2010), with others at 1.5 m in Ecuador (Guevara et al 2010), 3 m in Venezuela (Friedmann & Smith 1955), 4 m in Pará (Snethlage 1935a) and 0.6-4.5 m in Costa Rica (Skutch 1964). In Venezuela, Aguilar (1996) even mentioned nests on the ground.…”

“…A single-egg clutch appears typical in this species (Snethlage 1935a, Skutch 1964, Haverschmidt 1972, Haverschmidt & Mees 1994, Aguilar 1996, . However, nests found in Ecuador, Trinidad & Tobago and central Brazil indicate that two eggs may be common in some regions (Belcher & Smooker 1936, Guevara et al 2010, Marini et al 2010). The two nests in Alagoas each held one egg; they were white, oval to long-oval in shape, and measured 37.7 × 25.6 mm and 35.8 × 24.9 mm.…”

The meeting was recorded and a video of the event is available online at https://youtu.be/KU7MPekp41c and also via the Club website https:// boc-online.org.Dr Richard Sales, renowned for his wide-ranging research and publications on raptors, notably British falcons, and Steve Watson, who has been conducting a decades-long field study on the Peregrine Falcon Falco peregrinus in Gloucestershire, jointly presented a very well-illustrated talk entitled The Peregrine Falcon, based on their groundbreaking recent book of the same name. Richard's area of special research interest, namely the interaction between anatomy and behaviour underlying the Peregrine's flight characteristics and prey capture, synergistically complemented the broader focus by Steve on ecology and population characteristics, resulting in a particularly comprehensive overview. Broader discussion of the wide range and complex taxonomy (approaching 20 subspecies according to most authorities) of the species was not neglected, and the authors' detailed research included fascinating novel nuggets of information, including that the Peregrine's visual acuity is likely to be even greater than generally understood.The 1009th meeting of the Club was held in conjunction with the Linnean Society of London at Burlington House, Piccadilly, London W1J 0BF, on Monday 6 November 2023 when Dr Will Smith spoke on Rock Doves and the process of 'extinction by hybridisation'. A detailed account of this meeting will be included in the March 2024 issue of the Bulletin.
