“…Materials used for nest construction included mud, three types of mosses (one possibly Fissidentaceae) and small ferns of the genus Selaginella (Selaginellaceae). Nests contained much less mud and much more vegetable matter than those depicted in Biancalana et al (2012). In Nest 2 mud was used mainly to form the base of the cup-shaped structure.…”

“…Nests varied in shape according to the characteristics of the substrate, as found by others elsewhere (Marín & Stiles, 1992;Vasconcelos et al, 2006). Singleegg clutches have now been documented from widely scattered localities across the known geographic range of the Sooty Swift and seem to be the rule for this species (Chantler, 2000;Vasconcelos et al, 2006;Pearman et al, 2010;Biancalana et al, 2012).…”

Information on the breeding biology of birds is essential for improving avian life-history theory and implementing sound management and conservation actions for these organisms. Comprehensive reviews of this kind of information are lacking for most Neotropical regions, including Rio Grande do Sul, the southernmost Brazilian state. Aiming to update the knowledge on the reproductive status of birds in Rio Grande do Sul, we reviewed breeding records of all potential breeding species recorded in the state using a set of predefined, restrictive criteria for accepting breeding evidences as effective. Data satisfying our criteria were available for 165 species in the literature. We also collected novel breeding information obtained in the state for an additional 126 species, including observations for several species whose reproductive biology is poorly known. Among these are birds previously unknown to breed in Brazil. This new data and the critical review of the previous information resulted in a total of 291 species for which breeding evidences are accepted as effective. This corresponds to 54.7% of the 532 species considered either confirmed or potential breeders in the state. In addition to providing information on nesting dates, clutch size, nest architecture and breeding behavior of south Brazilian birds, our review serves as a benchmark for the adequate assessment of avian breeding records elsewhere. We hope to stimulate observers to rigorously document breeding events, especially for taxa for which basic information is lacking.

“…However, their aerial lifestyle, the difficulty of access to their nests, and in some cases their natural rarity, makes them difficult to study. Despite several recent contributions, knowledge on the life history of this group remains poor (Collins 1980, Marín and Stiles 1992, Pichorim 2002, Pearman et al 2010, Biancalana 2015, Areta et al 2020). Here, we report on the breeding biology of 3 swift species, the Spot-fronted ( Cypseloides cherriei ), Chestnut-collared ( Streptoprocne rutila ), and White-collared ( S. zonaris ) swifts that co-occur in Parque Nacional (PN) Yacambú, Venezuela.…”

“…This means that not only bottlenecks might be the main cause for low genetic variability in birds (Amos & Harwood 1998). Because Sooty Swifts usually establishes small populations (ranging from two to ten individuals in general), exhibits philopatry, presents a long breeding period and raises just one chick per year (Biancalana et al 2012, Biancalana 2015, the population might be suffering from inbreeding and/or might naturally have low genetic variability. Alternatively, population size variation due to historical factors -as climate change in the past -could also explain low genetic variation.…”

Based on microsatellite prospection, we isolated and characterized 21 microsatellite markers for the Sooty Swift (Cypseloides fumigatus) and tested the cross-amplification in the White-collared Swift (Streptoprocne zonaris). Both species are New World species included in the Apodidae family. From these 21, only 13 loci were polymorphic in the Sooty Swift, and their levels of polymorphism were surprisingly low compared to related species. Cross-amplification in the White-collared Swift was successful for 11 loci of the 13 polymorphic found for the Sooty Swift, but seven were monomorphic and four were biallelic. The microsatellites described here could be useful in future genetic population studies for Sooty Swifts and related species.
