Neotropical Birds: Ecology and Conservation

Abstract

JSTOR is a not-for-profit service that helps scholars, researchers, and students discover, use, and build upon a wide range of content in a trusted digital archive.

Seasonality and assemblages of non-passeriform waterbirds in várzea lakes on the lower Amazonas River, Santarém, Pará, Brazil

“…All eight Scolopacidae species were either recorded exclusively in the dry phase or were more abundant at this time. All recorded species are northern migrants (Stotz et al 1996), which apparently use várzea as a feeding and resting stop during migration. Their occurrence principally in the dry phase also coincides with the presence of habitat (beaches and muddy environments) appropriate for these species (Stotz et al 1996).…”

Their occurrence principally in the dry phase also coincides with the presence of habitat (beaches and muddy environments) appropriate for these species (Stotz et al 1996). Gallinago paraguaiae is not a northern migrant, but Sick (1997) mentions that some populations are migratory within South America, which may be related to the presence of this species in the dry phase in the present study.…”

Distribución y comentarios sobre comportamiento del Lechuzón Mocho Chico (Pulsatrix koeniswaldiana) en el sur de la provincia de Misiones, Argentina

“…El Lechuzón Mocho Chico (Pulsatrix koeniswaldiana) es de las rapaces nocturnas de mayor tamaño de la selva atlántica (Stotz et al 1996;BirdLife 2000;Develey & Endrigo 2004). Habita diversos ambientes como selvas tropicales y subtropicales húmedas, bosques de Araucaria, bosques en tierras bajas, bordes y claros de selva (Rodríguez Mata et al 2006;König & Weick 2010).…”

Alegrinho-do-chaco (Inezia inornata): um novo passeriforme para o sul do Brasil

“…O status de conservação do Alegrinho-do-chaco ainda é pouco conhecido (Fitzpatrick 2019), mas a espécie tem sido classificada como pouco preocupante, ainda que com uma tendência populacional em decréscimo (BirdLife International 2016). Embora seja tido como razoavelmente comum (Stotz et al 1996), a população global do Alegrinho-dochaco ainda não foi quantificada e estima-se que haja uma perda de quase 15% de hábitat adequado em sua distribuição ao longo de três gerações (BirdLife International 2016).…”
