“…Nest location was facilitated by the loud cricket-like calls elicited by 2 nestlings (ICN 36800,368001) and the ejection of fecal sacs. An individual that approached the nest was an adult male (ICN 36798) with enlarged testes and no molt, which indicates male participation in parental care as documented for other Scytalopus , Decker et al 2007, Freeman and Greeney 2008, Hosner and Huanca 2008.…”

“…The extraction of iron ore promotes drastic changes in the landscape, which can lead to the destruction of caves and the epigean environment (Jacobi and Carmo 2008). Currently 80% of the ferruginous substrate (canga) remaining of the Quadrilátero Ferrífero, and the caves inserted in them, are threatened (Bichuette et al 2015), mainly by mining activities (Ferreira et al 2015). Scytalopus are sedentary birds with low flight capacity, which can lead to an increased risk of extinction (Steadman and Martin 2003;Sandel et al 2011), particularly if associated with restricted distribution, endemism, and habitat loss.…”

First description of the nesting site, nest, and eggs of the Rock Tapaculo (Scytalopus petrophilus)

Among the 44 known species of Scytalopus, only 25 have some type of reproductive information available. Here we present the first description of the nesting site, nest, and eggs of the Rock Tapaculo (Scytalopus petrophilus). The nest was registered inside a ferruginous cave located in the Serra do Gandarela National Park, Minas Gerais, Brazil. The closed nest containing two eggs was collected and consisted of cryptogams, grasses, and passerine remiges. The eggs were white and measured 23.0 × 16.3 mm, and 21.7 × 17.2 mm. Building of a new nest was recorded at the same collection site, in the next breeding season. Nesting season extended at least from October to February, and the nest site was reused within and between reproductive seasons. This suggest a strong local association between the species and the ferruginous caves and it reveals the need to preserve this environment which is currently threatened by mining activities.
