Accepted 27 July 2012.ABSTRACT: The Brazilian state of <strong>Acre</strong> bor<strong>de</strong>rs Peru and Bolivia to the west and south, and the Brazilian states of Amazonas andRondônia to the north and east, respectively. The state is located within the lowlands of the western Amazon basin, adjacent to thefoothills of the An<strong>de</strong>s, within a “megadiverse” region of the Brazilian Amazon basin. Despite its diversity, the region is still onlypoorly known in scientific terms, and is consi<strong>de</strong>red to be a priority for future biological surveys. Given this situation, the presentstudy aims to contribute to the scientific knowledge of the avian fauna of southwestern Amazonia, by evaluating the followingquestions – (a) how many and which bird species occur in the state of <strong>Acre</strong>?; (b) how are these species distributed within the state?;and (c) what are the priority areas for new ornithological surveys within the state of <strong>Acre</strong>? My metho<strong>do</strong>logical procedures inclu<strong>de</strong>d(a) a wi<strong>de</strong> literature search; (b) two years of field surveys, including observation records and the collection of voucher specimens;(c) map the distribution of avian taxa within the two main interfluvial regions (east and west of the Purus River) of the state; and(d) the i<strong>de</strong>ntification of contact and possible hybridization zones, based on the distribution of parapatric sister taxa. The literaturesearch and fieldwork resulted in the compilation of 9550 avian records, encompassing 4763 specimens, of which 2457 (51.5%) werecollected during the past five years. A total of 667 species were confirmed for the state of <strong>Acre</strong>, representing 75 families and 23 or<strong>de</strong>rs.A total of 64 migratory species were also recor<strong>de</strong>d, of which 46.8% (n=30) are Nearctic migrants, 15 (23.4%) were consi<strong>de</strong>red tobe intratropical migrants, and 19 (29.6%) were classified as austral migrants. Overall, 41 of the recor<strong>de</strong>d species and subespecieswere en<strong>de</strong>mic to the Inambari center of en<strong>de</strong>mism. Of all forest avian taxa present year round in the state, 79% are distributed inboth main interfuvial regions, 16% were recor<strong>de</strong>d only in the central-western sub-region (west of the Purus), and 5% only in theeastern sub-region (east of the Purus). At least five pairs of purported sister taxa presented allopatric distributions, whereas 15 hadparapatric distribution within the state. Two zones of secondary contact (east and west) were i<strong>de</strong>ntified, which coinci<strong>de</strong>d with twopossible hybridization zones. The main conclusions of this study are: (a) the total number of species recor<strong>de</strong>d in the state is high butwill probably increase as new surveys are conducted; (b) neither of the state’s major rivers – the Purus and the Juruá – act as physicalbarriers to the dispersal of most of the resi<strong>de</strong>nt species found in the state; (c) the zones of secondary contact found <strong>do</strong> not coinci<strong>de</strong>with the basins of these two major rivers, which supports the i<strong>de</strong>a that factors other than physical barriers to dispersal <strong>de</strong>terminethe present distribution of some of the resi<strong>de</strong>nt bird taxa of <strong>Acre</strong>; and (d) birds restricted to the white-sand forests (campinas andcampinaranas) found only in the western portion of the state, as well as those found only in the <strong>de</strong>nse forests of eastern <strong>Acre</strong>,constitute together the most threatened elements of the state’s avifauna since no conservation units protect these specific habitats.KEY-WORDS: Amazonia; areas of en<strong>de</strong>mism; contact zones; hybridization; Purus; white sand forests.INTRODUCTIONThe Amazon basin encompasses the largest andmost diverse tract of continuous tropical rainforestfound anywhere in the World. Covering more than sixmillion square kilometers in nine countries of northernSouth America, the region is home to more than 40,000plant species, 427 mammals, 1294 birds, 378 reptiles,427 amphibians, and more than 3,000 species of fish,representing around 10% of the planet’s biodiversity(Mittermeier et al. 2003). Despite this biologicalrichness, few of the plans proposed for the <strong>de</strong>velopmentof the region have contemplated the effective protectionof these natural resources. In most cases, this is justifiedby the lack of a<strong>de</strong>quate information on this diversity,which might enable its inclusion in the <strong>de</strong>cision-makingprocesses un<strong>de</strong>rpinning strategic planning. However,relatively little has been <strong>do</strong>ne to compile the existing dataand catalog the species that occur in the region, or theirgeographic ranges.Brazil has one of the richest avian faunas inSouth America, with a current total of 1832 species(CBRO 2011). Despite this diversity and the fact thatornithological research began in Brazil in the 16thcentury, the first systematic catalog of Brazilian birds wasonly produced in the mid-20th century (Pinto, 1938;1944; 1978). The seminal work on the country’s birdsis that of Sick (1985; 1997), which provi<strong>de</strong>s <strong>de</strong>tailed


Birds of the Brazilian state of <strong>Acre</strong>: diversity, zoogeography, and conservationEdson Guilherme395meandrous—their courses change constantly, resulting ina mosaic of oxbow lakes and islands throughout the basin(Toivonem et al. 2007). This process favors the migrationor passive dispersal of animals between margins (Ayres& Clutton-Brock 1992; Silva et al. 2005a; Haffer 2001).These whitewater rivers inclu<strong>de</strong> the Purus and Juruá in thesouthwestern Amazon basin, which are two of the majorright-bank tributaries of the Solimões (Amazon River).Whatever the color of their water, however, all the majorrivers, such as the Amazon, Tapajós and Negro, tend to beless effective as barriers in their headwater reaches, wheretheir margins are much closer together (Haffer 1992b;2001; Hayes & Sewlal 2004).A common distribution pattern in the Amazonbasin is the occurrence of two or more closely relatedtaxa within contact zones. These contact zones are oftencharacterized by the parapatric distribution of sister taxawithin a relatively narrow and well-<strong>de</strong>fined area (Haffer1987). Parapatric taxa occur in adjacent areas (Haffer1992a), which are often <strong>de</strong>limited by physical or ecologicalbarriers, although in some cases, there is contact, and evenoverlap between their geographic ranges (Haffer 1992a;1997; Aleixo 2007). In some cases, these contact zonesare characterized by intense interspecific competition(Haffer 1986; 1987; 1992a; Price, 2008). One of thedirect consequences of this contact is the possibility ofgene flow between neighboring populations, <strong>de</strong>pendingon the genetic similarity of the taxa involved, which maylead to hybridization (Haffer 1986; 1997; Price, 2008)and the formation of distinct hybrid zones (Haffer 1987).These zones are usually characterized by the coexistenceof pure and hybrid individuals within the same areas(Aleixo 2007).Contact zones may be either primary or secondary.Primary contact zones arise as a consequence of thedifferentiation of local populations in response to selectionpressures associated with environmental gradients (Endler1982), whereas secondary zones are the result of the reencounterof previously isolated populations, whichhave differentiated un<strong>de</strong>r distinct ecological conditions(Haffer 1997). Haffer (1987, 1997) believed that allcontact zones between Amazonian birds are secondary,resulting from the geographic expansion of sister taxa,which were previously isolated in forest refuges, as aconsequence of global climate changes. In this case, thepresence of contact zones may indicate the location ofancient ecological barriers, which have disappeared overtime (Haffer 1987).Ornithological research in the Brazilian state of <strong>Acre</strong>Ornithological research in <strong>Acre</strong> only began inthe 1950s, when two pioneering expeditions wereun<strong>de</strong>rtaken in what was, at the time, still only a Brazilianterritory rather than a state. The first of these took placein the eastern portion of the territory (Vanzolini, 1952;Pinto & Camargo, 1954), with the subsequent excursionexploring the western portion (Novaes, 1957; 1958).Eastern <strong>Acre</strong> was visited firstly by the privatecollector José Hidasi, in 1968, and then in 1976 byGeral<strong>do</strong> Pereira da Silva, an employee of the EvandroChagas Institute in Belém. Records of some of thespecimens collected during these expeditions can befound in the ornithological literature (Novaes 1978;Pierpont & Fitzpatrick 1983; Teixeira et al. 1994; Hidasi& Bankovics 1997; Sick 1997).During the 1990s, a number of professionalornithologists visited western <strong>Acre</strong>, in particular the Serra<strong>do</strong> Divisor National Park and the Alto Juruá ExtractivistReserve. The occurrence of more than 500 local species ofbirds was recor<strong>de</strong>d during these expeditions (Whittaker& Oren 1999; Whittaker et al. 2002).In 2005, I began the research for my <strong>do</strong>ctoraldissertation, which was entitled “Bird fauna of theBrazilian state of <strong>Acre</strong>: diversity, zoogeography, andconservation”. This project inclu<strong>de</strong>d more than 20expeditions to poorly-known or unexplored areas withinthe state. The results of this research were presented in mydissertation (Guilherme 2009) and have been publishedin a number of papers (Guilherme 2007; Guilherme &Santos 2009; Aleixo & Guilherme 2010; Guilherme &Borges 2011; Guilherme & Dantas 2011a).During this same period, Dante Buzzetti carried outa <strong>de</strong>tailed ornithological survey of the Chandless StatePark (Buzzetti 2008), while Luiz Mestre and GregoryThom studied the bird communities in areas affected byfire within the Chico Men<strong>de</strong>s Extractivist Reserve (Mestreet al. 2010a). The compilation of the data from all thesestudies and the <strong>de</strong>scription of the distribution patterns ofthe bird species in the Brazilian state of <strong>Acre</strong> constitutethe principal theme of this paper.MATERIAL AND METHODSStudy AreaThe Brazilian state of <strong>Acre</strong> in located in thesouthwestern Amazon basin, bor<strong>de</strong>ring Bolivia and Peruto the south and west, and the Brazilian states of Amazonasand Rondônia to the north and east, respectively (Figure1). The state covers a total area of 164,221.36 km², whichcorresponds to 4.26% of the area of Brazil’s northernregion, and 1.92% of the country as a whole (Governo<strong>do</strong> <strong>Acre</strong> 2012).Most of the state is located within two adjacenthydrographic basins, that of the Purus River, in theeastern and central portions of the state, and the Juruá,in the west (Figure 2). All the watercourses of these twobasins belong to the hydrographic basin of the Amazon<strong>Revista</strong> <strong>Brasileira</strong> <strong>de</strong> <strong>Ornitologia</strong>, 20(4), 2012

Birds of the Brazilian state of <strong>Acre</strong>: diversity, zoogeography, and conservationEdson Guilherme397River. The state’s drainage system is well distributed, andis composed of mean<strong>de</strong>ring rivers with short straightchannels that flow over sedimentary rocks mainly in asouthwest to northeast direction.The climate of <strong>Acre</strong> is hot and humid, with therelative humidity of the air ranging from 80% to 90%.As in other parts of the Amazon basin, there are twomain climatic seasons – a dry season, from May toOctober, when precipitation <strong>de</strong>creases substantially, anda rainy season, from November to April, when rainfallis almost constant (Duarte & Marcarenhas 2007).Abrupt cold snaps are common during the dry season.This phenomenon is known locally as “friagem”, and isthe result of the movement of polar fronts, which areforced northwards by the Atlantic Polar Air Mass, whichadvances over the Chaco plain to western Amazonia (<strong>Acre</strong>2000). Annual precipitation ranges from 1600 mm to2750 mm, with the highest values being recor<strong>de</strong>d in thewest of the state, which is closer to the equator, and hassuffered less habitat <strong>de</strong>struction, while the lowest rainfalllevels occur in the eastern portion of the state, which isless preserved (Cunha & Duarte, 2005).Three subtypes of climate can be found in the state,following Köppen’s classification (Duarte 2007). In thisscheme, the climate of the Juruá basin can be assignedto subtype Af3, in which the precipitation in the driestmonth is above 60 mm, and the annual total is between2000 and 2500 mm (Cunha & Duarte, 2005; Duarte,2007, 2008). The Purus basin climate is classified as Am3,in which annual precipitation is the same as Af3, but thatof the driest month is lower, between 30 mm and 60 mm.The <strong>Acre</strong> River basin climate (subtype Am4) is even drier,with annual precipitation of 1500-2000 mm and meanrainfall in the driest month (June) of around 30 mm.The mean annual temperature of the state as a whole isapproximately 24.5°C, with a maximum of around 32°C(<strong>Acre</strong> 2000).The Ecological-Economic Zoning (EEZ) of thestate of <strong>Acre</strong> (<strong>Acre</strong> 2000) <strong>de</strong>fined three phyto-ecologicalregions – the <strong>de</strong>nse rainforest, open rainforest, and thecampinas-campinaranas (white-sand forest) <strong>do</strong>mains. Ihave a<strong>do</strong>pted this classification to i<strong>de</strong>ntify the principalhabitats occupied by the different bird species in thestate (Appendix 1). The principal characteristics of these<strong>do</strong>mains are as follows:Dense Rainforest (hereafter DRF): This <strong>do</strong>main ischaracterized by large trees (20-50 m in height), lianas,and epiphytes. The distribution of this habitat within thestate of <strong>Acre</strong> is related to that of tertiary and quaternarysediments in areas with annual precipitation above 2300mm, and average temperatures of 22° to 23°C (IBGE2005). These geomorphological and climatic conditionsprevail primarily in the west of the state, where theclimate is more humid (dry seasons are shorter) thanthe east. The diagnostic feature of this type of forest is auniform canopy with emergent trees and sparse or absentun<strong>de</strong>rgrowth (<strong>Acre</strong> 2000). Depending on the edaphicconditions and topography, the region’s DRFs can besubdivi<strong>de</strong>d into three distinct formations – alluvial,lowland, and submontane forests (IBGE, 2005).Open Rainforest (hereafter ORF): Like the <strong>de</strong>nserainforest, this type of forest is composed of mediumto large trees, but with a pre<strong>do</strong>minance of shrubbytrees and woody lianas (IBGE, 2005). This type ofhabitat is associated with areas of sedimentary rocks ofPlio-Pleistocene origin in lowland Amazonia, whichare characterized by undulating hills – the SolimõesFormation – or hilly interfluvia (<strong>Acre</strong> 2000). The ORFhabitats are found throughout most of <strong>Acre</strong>, on a varietyof geomorphological units, but can be subdivi<strong>de</strong>d intotwo formations – lowland and alluvial – based on edaphicand topographic criteria (IBGE, 2005). These habitatscan also be differentiated into a number of differentforest types, based on the relative <strong>do</strong>minance of palms,bamboos and/or lianas (IBGE 2005; <strong>Acre</strong> 2000).Campinas and Campinaranas: These habitats arefound throughout the Amazon basin, where they grow onwhite sandy soils (An<strong>de</strong>rson 1981; IBGE 2005; Silveira2003), which are extremely nutrient-poor and have ahighly permeable subsoil (Jirka et al. 2007). Given thesesoil characteristics, campinaranas have a relatively thicklayer of superficial roots when compared with othertypes of Amazonian vegetation (Jirka et al. 2007; Silveira2003). The campinas are characterized by irregular, openvegetation, with un<strong>de</strong>rgrowth of reduced stature. Thesehabitats are ma<strong>de</strong> up of relatively <strong>de</strong>nse stands of small,thin trees, with few emergent trees (Silveira, 2003). In <strong>Acre</strong>,campinaranas are only found in the Juruá basin, mainlyin the municipalities of Cruzeiro <strong>do</strong> Sul and MâncioLima. The habitats are normally found in areas drained byblackwater rivers, such as the Bagé and the Machadinho(<strong>Acre</strong> 2000). Silveira (2003) <strong>de</strong>scribed four distinct typesof white-sand vegetation in southwestern Amazonia – openshrubby campina, campina <strong>do</strong>minated by buriti (Mauritiaflexuosa) palms, campina grasslands, and campinaranasensu lato. In addition to the campinaranas located alongthe bor<strong>de</strong>r with the Brazilian state of Amazonas, a smallarea of this vegetation was sampled on the left bank ofthe Cruzeiro <strong>do</strong> Vale stream in the municipality of PortoWalter (Guilherme & Borges 2011).Literature searchI <strong>de</strong>rived a preliminary list of birds that occur in<strong>Acre</strong> from a systematic review of the available literature.The first step was to i<strong>de</strong>ntify and compile all the availablereferences to construct a database containing all therecords of birds available for the state. For each record,I searched for the following information: 1) the preciselocation of the observation and/or specimen collection;<strong>Revista</strong> <strong>Brasileira</strong> <strong>de</strong> <strong>Ornitologia</strong>, 20(4), 2012


398Birds of the Brazilian state of <strong>Acre</strong>: diversity, zoogeography, and conservationEdson Guilherme2) species and, when available, subspecies i<strong>de</strong>ntification;3) the observer(s) and/or collector(s) associated with therecord; 4) the date of the record; and 5) when applicable,the institution in which the specimen(s) were <strong>de</strong>posited.I used these data to establish a spreadsheet in MicrosoftExcel® in which each line represented a record and eachcolumn contained the different types of informationlisted above. The next step was to update the scientificnomenclature of many records, given that the names ofsome general, species and the status of some subspecieshave changed during recent taxonomic reviews.The references I used to compile the preliminaryspecies list for the period between 1950 and 2005were Pinto & Camargo (1954), Novaes (1957; 1958),Whittaker & Oren (1999), Guilherme (2001),Whittaker et al. (2002), and Rasmussen et al. (2005). Thesubsequent period (since 2005) is covered by my <strong>do</strong>ctoralthesis (Guilherme 2009) and all subsequent publications(Guilherme & Santos 2009; Aleixo & Guilherme 2010;Guilherme & Dantas 2011a, Guilherme & Borges 2011,Mestre et al. 2010a).Specimens <strong>de</strong>posited in natural history museumsBased on the references reporting on theornithological expeditions conducted in <strong>Acre</strong>, I couldtrace the whereabouts of practically all bird specimenscollected in the state. Collections holding bird specimenscollected in <strong>Acre</strong> are the Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi(MPEG), Museu <strong>de</strong> Zoologia da Universida<strong>de</strong> <strong>de</strong> SãoPaulo (MZUSP), Museu Nacional <strong>do</strong> Rio <strong>de</strong> Janeiro(MNRJ), Museu <strong>de</strong> Zoologia da Universida<strong>de</strong> Estadual<strong>de</strong> Campinas (ZUEC/UNICAMP), Louisiana StateUniversity Museum of Natural Sciences (LSUMZ), FloridaMuseum of Natural History (FMNH), and the AmericanMuseum of Natural History (AMNH). An additional 34specimens are <strong>de</strong>posited in the private collection of Prof.José Hidasi (CPJH), in Goiânia, Goiás (Brazil).The vast majority (ca. 85%) of the bird specimenscollected in <strong>Acre</strong> have been <strong>de</strong>posited in the Dr. Fernan<strong>do</strong>C. Novaes Collection of the Goeldi Museum in Belém,Brazil, and all of these specimens were examinedduring the present study. I obtained information on thespecimens from all other museums directly from thecurators responsible for each collection via electronic mail.Whenever a <strong>do</strong>ubt arose with regard to the i<strong>de</strong>ntificationor locality of a specimen, I contacted the curator onceagain. In these cases, the queries were resolved eithertextually or by photographs.LocalitiesI established a database for the cataloguing of allthe localities in <strong>Acre</strong> for which at least one avian recordis available, that is, at least one record in the literatureor a specimen <strong>de</strong>posited in a museum. For recordsobtained prior to 1990, I traced localities and theirrespective coordinates in the Ornithological Gazetteerof Brazil (Paynter & Taylor 1991). For records obtainedafter 1991, locality information and coordinates wereretrieved from the techni cal reports, scientific papers,and specimen labels. For the expeditions conductedby myself between 2005 and 2009 (Guilherme 2009),geographic coordinates were obtained directly in the fieldwith a Garmin 72® GPS receiver.Taxonomy and nomenclatureHere, I a<strong>do</strong>pt the taxonomy and nomenclature ofthe Brazilian Checklist Committee (CBRO 2011). At thepresent time, this Committee recognizes a total of 1832bird species in Brazil, representing 95 families distributedin 26 or<strong>de</strong>rs. The presence of a number of polytypicspecies represented by distinct, parapatrically-distributedsubspecies was recor<strong>de</strong>d in <strong>Acre</strong>. For the zoogeographicanalyses, I treated all subspecies that could be diagnosedand were consi<strong>de</strong>red to be allopatric / parapatric as distincttaxa, following the recommendation of Aleixo (2007).Subspecific i<strong>de</strong>ntification of species represented by morethan one visibly diagnosable taxon in <strong>Acre</strong> was initiallybased on analyses of series of specimens <strong>de</strong>posited atMPEG. Confirmation of <strong>de</strong>scriptions of these subspeciesand their geographic distributions were obtained in Pinto(1978), Isler & Isler (1999), Restall et al. (2006), and <strong>de</strong>lHoyo et al. (1992, 1994, 1996, 1997, 1999, 2001, 2002,2003, 2004, 2005, 2006).Species statusI classified the bird species recor<strong>de</strong>d during thepresent study as resi<strong>de</strong>nt or migrant. I consi<strong>de</strong>red speciesto be resi<strong>de</strong>nt if they breed within the limits of the stateof <strong>Acre</strong>. I i<strong>de</strong>ntified three groups of resi<strong>de</strong>nts: nativespecies (native to the Amazon basin), inva<strong>de</strong>rs (native toother South American biomes, and which only entered<strong>Acre</strong> following anthropogenic modifications of theenvironment), and introduced species (native to othercontinents).I inferred a resi<strong>de</strong>nt status based on gonad size ofspecies represented by museum specimens as well dataavailable in the literature. Some sources, such as Hilty &Brown (1986), Ridgely & Tu<strong>do</strong>r (1994; 2009), Stotz et al.(1996), Sick (1997), Schulenberg et al. (2007), and theHandbook of the Birds of the World collection provi<strong>de</strong>important information on the reproductive behavior ofAmazonian species. Birds classified as migratory are thoseknown to breed outsi<strong>de</strong> the Amazon basin. Based on the<strong>de</strong>finition of Hayes (1995), three groups of migratorybirds are found in <strong>Acre</strong> – Nearctic, intratropical, andaustral migrants. The Nearctic migrants breed in North<strong>Revista</strong> <strong>Brasileira</strong> <strong>de</strong> <strong>Ornitologia</strong>, 20(4), 2012


Birds of the Brazilian state of <strong>Acre</strong>: diversity, zoogeography, and conservationEdson Guilherme399America and migrate to South America during the borealwinter. Intratropical migrants breed in the tropics, in thepresent case, South America, but migrate regularly toother areas within the same continent (Jahn et al., 2006;Hayes, 1995). This category inclu<strong>de</strong>s only species thatbreed in other biomes – e.g., Cerra<strong>do</strong>, Pantanal, Chaco– and then migrate to the Amazon basin. The australmigrants are the species that breed in southern SouthAmerica and then migrate northwards during the winter.Zoogeography and i<strong>de</strong>ntification of contact/hybridization zonesI tested whether the Purus River representsan important barrier and is associated with a majorbiogeographic break in the distribution of resi<strong>de</strong>nt forestbirds in <strong>Acre</strong> by arbitrarily dividing the state into twoportions (west and east of this river), and calculating thesimilarity in species composition between these areas.Because of their overall high dispersal capabilities, neithermigratory species, nor those associated with aquatic habitats(Anatidae, Podicipedidae, Phalacrocoracidae, Anhingidae,Ar<strong>de</strong>idae, Ciconidae, Aramidae, Heliornithidae, Jacanidae,Sternidae, Rynchopidae, and Alcedinidae), were inclu<strong>de</strong>din this analysis. I used Microsoft Excel® for the productionand analysis of the matrix.I based the i<strong>de</strong>ntification of possible contact zoneson the selection of all taxa assumed to 1) be sister orclosely related species within a genus; or 2) representsubspecies grouped un<strong>de</strong>r the same polytypic species,that are parapatrically distributed within the state of<strong>Acre</strong>, i.e., represented by adjacent populations within aspecific area (Haffer 1997; Aleixo 2007). I i<strong>de</strong>ntified thecontact zones using the approach of Haffer (1987, 1997),which first establishes a “core” region of the distributionof each taxon, and then the overall limits of its range. Thehorizontal or vertical position of the contact zone was<strong>de</strong>fined according to the expansion of the distributionof each taxon, that is, with a north/south or east/westexpansion of the geographic range (and vice versa). Thegeneral distribution of each taxon estimated based onPinto (1978), Ridgely & Tu<strong>do</strong>r (1994, 2009), InfoNatura(2007), Schulenberg et al. (2007), and the Handbook ofthe Birds of the World series.If specimens were available from a purportedcontact zone, they were analyzed to <strong>de</strong>termine whetheror not hybrids could be found within the zone. Ahybridization zone can be <strong>de</strong>tected through the presenceof hybrid specimens in close proximity to a contact zone.The i<strong>de</strong>ntification of potential hybrid specimens wasbased on the visual inspection of plumage characteristicsand other external morphological characters. However,it is important to note that any inferred hybrid statusis tentative and can only be confirmed throughcomplementary genetic studies.Checklist compilationThe inventory of the bird species that occur in theBrazilian state of <strong>Acre</strong> was compiled based on the criteriaproposed by Carlos et al. (2010), with the records beinggrouped in two distinct lists:a) The primary list: all the species with confirme<strong>do</strong>ccurrence via vouchered <strong>do</strong>cumentation(specimens, photos or audio recording) in thestate of <strong>Acre</strong>;b) The secondary list: species that are reported tooccur in the state, but have not been confirmedthrough observations or specimens, as well asspecies known to occur in neighboring areas,which are assumed to occur (“probableoccurrence”) in <strong>Acre</strong>, based on their distributionpattern and ecological characteristics.RESULTSSpecies richness and compositionA total of 9550 bird records were compiled for thestate of <strong>Acre</strong>. Of these, 4763 are specimens <strong>de</strong>posited inmuseums, more than half of which (51.5%, n = 2457)were collected during the past five years (Guilherme2009). Overall, it was possible to confirm the occurrenceof 667 species in the state (Appendix 1), of which17 have two well-differentiated subspecies with anallopatric or parapatric local distribution (Tables 3 and4). The five families with the highest number of speciesare the Thamnophilidae (61 species), Tyrannidae (61),Thraupidae (41), Accipitridae (29), and Furnariidae (26)which together account for 32.6% of the total numberof species recor<strong>de</strong>d in the state (Appendix 1). The nonpasserinesare represented by 300 species, and thepasserines, by 367 species. In the case of the passerines,247 species are sub-oscines (Tyranni), while the other120 species are oscines (Passeri).The occurrence of most (79.3%, n = 529) of thespecies recor<strong>de</strong>d for <strong>Acre</strong> has been confirmed by thecollection of voucher specimens (Appendix 1). Themajority of these specimens (84.9%, n = 4045) are<strong>de</strong>posited at MPEG, and most of the others (11.7%,n = 558) at the MZUSP. The remaining specimens –approximately 3.5% – are found in other museums inBrazil and abroad (Appendix 1).A total of 113 localities were compiled for the aviantaxa of <strong>Acre</strong> (Guilherme 2009, Figure 3). At six of thesesites, more than 300 species have been recor<strong>de</strong>d (Figure 3).In the case of 22 species, the data from <strong>Acre</strong>represent the only records for Brazil (Appendix 1). Thesecondary list (Appendix 2) was prepared based on the<strong>Revista</strong> <strong>Brasileira</strong> <strong>de</strong> <strong>Ornitologia</strong>, 20(4), 2012

Birds of the Brazilian state of <strong>Acre</strong>: diversity, zoogeography, and conservationEdson Guilherme401The vast majority of the 667 species recor<strong>de</strong>d for thestate – 602 (90,2%) – were classified as resi<strong>de</strong>nts, whereasfive (Bubulcus ibis, Geranoaetus albicaudatus, Caracaraplancus, Vanellus chilensis, and Athene cunicularia) wereconsi<strong>de</strong>red to be inva<strong>de</strong>rs, and another five as introducedspecies (Columba livia, Passer <strong>do</strong>mesticus, Sicalis flaveola,Sporophila maximiliani, and Estrilda astrild; Guilherme2000, 2011). The last species has adapted well to theregion (Silva 2004), and all introduced species nowreproduce in the wild in<strong>de</strong>pen<strong>de</strong>ntly.A total of 64 migratory species were i<strong>de</strong>ntified, ofwhich almost half 46.8% (n = 30) are Nearctic migrants,whereas 23.4% (n = 15) are consi<strong>de</strong>red to be intratropicalmigrants, and 29.6% (n = 19) austral migrants. Twospecies – Phoenicoparrus jamesi (Guilherme et al. 2005)and Heliomaster furcifer – were consi<strong>de</strong>red to be vagrants(Appendix 1).En<strong>de</strong>mic species<strong>Acre</strong> is located within the Inambari center ofen<strong>de</strong>mism (Haffer 1978; Cracraft 1985; Silva et al.2005b). Of the 57 taxa listed as en<strong>de</strong>mic to this centerby Cracraft (1985) and the 45 listed by Haffer (1978),41 were recor<strong>de</strong>d in <strong>Acre</strong> (Appendix 1). The speciesO<strong>do</strong>ntophorus stellatus, Phaethornis phillipii, Pteroglossusbeauharnaesii, Simoxenops ucayalae, Hemitriccusflammulatus, and Ramphotrigon fuscicauda are not listedas en<strong>de</strong>mic in Appendix 1 because subsequent studies (see<strong>de</strong>l Hoyo 1994, 1999, 2002, 2003, 2004; Perlo 2009)have exten<strong>de</strong>d their known ranges beyond the limits ofthe Inambari center. However, four species were ad<strong>de</strong>dto this list, including three more recently <strong>de</strong>scribed taxa(Nannopsittaca dachilleae, Thamnophilus divisorius andCnipo<strong>de</strong>ctes superrufus) and one (Hypocnemis subflava) thathas been raised to full species status. Therefore, currently41 Inambari en<strong>de</strong>mic species are known to occur in <strong>Acre</strong>(Appendix 1).Endangered speciesNone of the native species recor<strong>de</strong>d in the presentstudy is inclu<strong>de</strong>d in the Brazilian list of bird speciesthreatened with extinction (Macha<strong>do</strong> et al. 2008). Onthe other hand, Sporophila maximiliani, which wasintroduced into the state by bird fanciers, and is nowfound naturally in the wild, is the only species listedas endangered by Macha<strong>do</strong> et al. (2008). However, theIUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature)red list inclu<strong>de</strong>s 10 species resi<strong>de</strong>nt in <strong>Acre</strong> in the nearthreatened (NT) category – Harpia harpyja, Morphnusguianensis, Primolius couloni, Nannopsittaca dachilleae,Formicarius rufifrons, Grallaria elu<strong>de</strong>ns, Synallaxis cherriei,Simoxenops ucayalae, Conothraupis speculigera, and Cacicuskoepckeae.HabitatsMost (77.8%) of the bird species recor<strong>de</strong>d in <strong>Acre</strong>are found in the <strong>de</strong>nse or open terra firme rainforest, withpalms and/or bamboo (Appendix 1). With the exceptionof a small proportion of species that are restricted tobamboo forest (Appendix 1), all other forest speciesrecor<strong>de</strong>d in <strong>Acre</strong> are associated with forests where palmsare present. Approximately 12.9% of the recor<strong>de</strong>d speciesare associated with aquatic environments, such as várzeaswamp forest, riverbank habitats, creeks, reservoirs, lakes,and the sandy beaches formed by mean<strong>de</strong>ring riversduring the dry season (Appendix 1).A small, but nevertheless important, proportion ofthe species (2.1%) is strictly associated with the vegetationthat grows on sandy soils, that is, the campinas andcampinaranas (Appendix 1). These habitats are located onlyin the extreme west of the state. Of all bird species associatedwith this type of habitat in <strong>Acre</strong>, at least nine (Patagioenasspeciosa, Polytmus theresiae, Dendrocolaptes certhiapolyzonus, Formicivora grisea, Schiffornis amazona, Neopipocinamomea, Xenopipo atronitens, Cnemotriccus fuscatusduidae, and Tachyphonus phoenicius) can be consi<strong>de</strong>redto be restricted to these habitats, and at least a furthertwelve (Crypturellus strigulosus, Topaza pyra, Fre<strong>de</strong>rickenaunduligera, Heterocercus linteatus, Machaeropterus striolatus,Manacus manacus, Hemitriccus minimus, Hemitriccusgriseipectus, Lophotriccus vitiosus, Poecilotriccus latirostris,Ramphotrigon ruficauda, and Attila citriniventris) arepartially restricted to them (Guilherme 2009, Guilherme& Borges, 2011, Guilherme & Aleixo, unpubl. data).Distribution patternsThe majority (79%) of the 667 species of birds foundin <strong>Acre</strong> occur in both of its sub-regions (separated by thePurus River), and hence throughout the state (Appendix1). A further 16% were recor<strong>de</strong>d only in the centralwesternsub-region of the state (west of the Purus), and5% only in its eastern portion (east of the Purus). Noneof the species are restricted to the central portion of thestate - the intermediate region between the Juruá andPurus rivers.At least five pairs of purported sister taxa werei<strong>de</strong>ntified with a distribution pattern consistent withclassic allopatry (Table 1). In all these cases, one or otherof each pair of taxa was found in different areas of thestate, e.g., Crypturellus undulatus undulatus/yapura andLepi<strong>do</strong>thrix coronata coronata/exquisita.A total of 15 sets of parapatric purported sistertaxa were i<strong>de</strong>ntified during this study, encompassing30 taxa, 26 of which are currently treated as subspecies(Table 2). In most cases, one of the parapatric taxa iswi<strong>de</strong>ly distributed in <strong>Acre</strong>, whereas the other has a morerestricted range (Table 2, Figure 5).<strong>Revista</strong> <strong>Brasileira</strong> <strong>de</strong> <strong>Ornitologia</strong>, 20(4), 2012

404Birds of the Brazilian state of <strong>Acre</strong>: diversity, zoogeography, and conservationEdson GuilhermeContact and hybridization zonesTwo contact zones were i<strong>de</strong>ntified within the studyarea (<strong>Acre</strong>) based on the distribution of parapatric taxa(Table 2). I have <strong>de</strong>noted these zones as the (a) westerncontact zone and (b) eastern contact zone (Figures 5, 6,and 7). The western contact zone is based on the presenceof the following sister taxa – Pipra filicauda/P. fasciicauda(Figure 6), Dendrocincla fuliginosa neglecta/D. f. atrirostris(Figure 5), and Pteroglossus castanotis castanotis/P. c.australis (Guilherme 2009). The eastern zone is <strong>de</strong>finedby the occurrence of Xiphorhynchus chunchotambo/ocellatus, Hypocnemis subflava/peruviana (Figure 7), andGlyphorhynchus spirurus castelnaudii/G. s. albigularis(Guilherme 2009).Two possible hybridization zones were i<strong>de</strong>ntifiedwithin the study area, coinciding with the contact zones.The western hybridization zone is <strong>de</strong>fined on the basis ofthe presence of specimens with intermediate characteristicsbetween Pteroglossus castanotis castanotis/P. c. australisand Dendrocolaptes certhia juruanus/D. c. polyzonus,whereas the eastern zone is characterized by the presenceof morphologically intermediate specimens betweenBrotogeris cyanoptera cyanoptera/B. c. beniensis and Momotusmomota cf. nattereri/M. m. simplex (Guilherme 2009).DISCUSSIONBird diversity in <strong>Acre</strong>The large number of bird species recor<strong>de</strong>d in theBrazilian state of <strong>Acre</strong> further emphasizes the biologicaldiversity of southwestern Amazonia (Haffer 1990). Infact, the number of species recor<strong>de</strong>d for <strong>Acre</strong> – 667 –represents more than half of the total recor<strong>de</strong>d for thewhole of the Amazon basin (Marini & Garcia, 2005;Mittermeier et al. 2003), and if only the fauna of thesouthern basin (south of the Solimões/Amazon channel)is consi<strong>de</strong>red (Stotz et al. 1996), 74.4% of the specieswere recor<strong>de</strong>d in <strong>Acre</strong>.The avifauna of <strong>Acre</strong> is composed primarily ofresi<strong>de</strong>nt species, but also inclu<strong>de</strong>s migrants and inva<strong>de</strong>rs.Five of the nine new species ad<strong>de</strong>d to the list of Brazilianbirds since 2005 were recor<strong>de</strong>d in <strong>Acre</strong> (Guilherme et al.2005, Guilherme & Aleixo 2008, Aleixo et al. 2008, Regoet al. 2009, Zimmer et al. 2010, CBRO 2011). Anotherspecies – Cacicus koepckeae – should also be ad<strong>de</strong>d to thislist, based on the recent record from the Chandless River(Buzetti 2008). Of the 1832 bird species known to occurin Brazil (CBRO, 2011), 22 have been recor<strong>de</strong>d only in<strong>Acre</strong> (Appendix 1), which testifies to the singularity ofthis state. <strong>Acre</strong> is located entirely within the Inambaricenter of en<strong>de</strong>mism, the largest such area in the lowlandsof the southern Amazon basin (Silva et al. 2005b).According to Cracraft (1985), the geographic rangesof the 57 bird taxa en<strong>de</strong>mic to the southwestern Amazonbasin <strong>de</strong>fine the limits of the Inambari center. Almostthree quarters (73.6%) of these en<strong>de</strong>mic taxa have beenrecor<strong>de</strong>d in <strong>Acre</strong>, with four new species (all <strong>de</strong>scribed since1985) being ad<strong>de</strong>d to the list subsequently (Appendix 1).<strong>Acre</strong> can be consi<strong>de</strong>red to be an excellent sample of theInambari center, given that it covers only 12% of its area,but contains more that 70% of its en<strong>de</strong>mic species. Giventhis, <strong>Acre</strong> is an excellent natural laboratory for the studyof historic biogeography.The migratory species were recor<strong>de</strong>d in both of thegeographic sub-regions (Appendix 1). However, some ofthe species arriving from south-central South Americawere only observed in eastern <strong>Acre</strong> (Appendix 1). Australand intratropical migrants such as Myiopagis viridicata,Tyrannus albogularis, Casiornis rufus, and Turdusamaurochalinus, arrived in the state from the southeast(e.g., Bolivian Chaco), where they breed (Davis 1993;Jahn et al. 2002, Appendix 1). Some migratory species,in particular tyrannids, tend to occupy the forest edges,secondary vegetation, and open areas (Chesser 1997). Asthe forest cover of easternmost <strong>Acre</strong> has been extensivelydisturbed, the resulting open and regenerating habitatscontribute to an increase in the probability of recordingother forest edge species such as Micrococcyx cinereus,Contopus cinereus, and Elaenia flavogaster (Appendix 1). Itseems likely that the occurrence of these species will alsobe confirmed for the central-western sub-region of thestate as new surveys are carried out in these areas duringthe migration season.A group of species, previously known only from thefoothills of the An<strong>de</strong>s and lowlands in Peru and Bolivia,was recor<strong>de</strong>d in the central eastern sub-region of <strong>Acre</strong>.For some species, such as Picumnus subtilis, Xiphorhynchuschunchotambo, and Cacicus koepckeae, these records<strong>do</strong> not represent either migrations or recent shifts indistribution, but rather, these species are resi<strong>de</strong>nts thathad simply not been recor<strong>de</strong>d previously, due to thelack of surveys in the area adjacent to the bor<strong>de</strong>rs withPeru and Bolivia. Other species, such as Conothraupisspeculigera and Pseu<strong>do</strong>colopteryx acutipennis neverthelessappear to migrate from the Pacific slope and An<strong>de</strong>s to thelowlands of Amazonia.Vagrancy also plays a role in the <strong>Acre</strong> avifauna.Phoenicoparrus jamesi, which is typical of the salt lakesof the An<strong>de</strong>an altiplano, was observed in <strong>Acre</strong> on a singleoccasion, and was consi<strong>de</strong>red to be an acci<strong>de</strong>ntal visitorby Guilherme et al. (2005). The nearest record of thisspecies is from the Manu National Park in southwesternPeru, at an altitu<strong>de</strong> of 350 m asl, where it was alsoconsi<strong>de</strong>red to be an vagrant (Walker et al. 2006), giventhat this lowland area is equally distant from the naturaldistribution of the species (<strong>de</strong>l Hoyo et al. 1992). Anotherspecies consi<strong>de</strong>red to be a vagrant here is Heliomaster<strong>Revista</strong> <strong>Brasileira</strong> <strong>de</strong> <strong>Ornitologia</strong>, 20(4), 2012

406Birds of the Brazilian state of <strong>Acre</strong>: diversity, zoogeography, and conservationEdson Guilhermefurcifer. The only record of this species for <strong>Acre</strong> is a singlespecimen (ZUEC – 1565) <strong>de</strong>posited in the ornithologicalcollection of zoology museum at UNICAMP (Appendix1). This specimen was found <strong>de</strong>ad on the Campus of theFe<strong>de</strong>ral University of <strong>Acre</strong> by herpetologist Adão JoséCar<strong>do</strong>so, in February 1988. The species is consi<strong>de</strong>redto be a vagrant because its known range is restricted tosouthern central South America (<strong>de</strong>l Hoyo et al. 1999).Whereas this species might be consi<strong>de</strong>red an austral orintratropical migrant, the date on which the specimen wasfound (during the austral summer) is inconsistent withthis classification. Another possibility is that the speciesis resi<strong>de</strong>nt in <strong>Acre</strong>, but is rare and occurs at a low <strong>de</strong>nsityin the region. However, the lack of records from northernBolivia, eastern Peru, and other parts of <strong>Acre</strong>, togetherwith the single records available from Leticia (southeastColombia) and Napo, in northeastern Ecua<strong>do</strong>r (<strong>de</strong>l Hoyoet al., 1999) reinforce the conclusion that the species is asporadic vagrant in the Amazon basin.Invasive species were concentrated primarily inthe eastern extreme of the state, presumably due to itsrelatively high human population <strong>de</strong>nsity and greater areaof altered habitats. This part of <strong>Acre</strong> is connected to theneighboring state of Rondônia by a major highway alongwhich many large cattle ranches occur, which explains whysome species, such as Geranoaetus albicaudatus, Caracaraplancus, Vanellus chilensis, and Athene cunicularia, beganto colonize the state from the east, even though they havenow reached its western portion, towards Cruzeiro <strong>do</strong> Sul,as well as areas in the southeast, in the direction of thetowns of Brasiléia and Assis Brasil, on the bor<strong>de</strong>r withBolivia and Peru. A similar situation has arisen in the caseof species that have escaped from captivity, such as Estrildaastrild (see Silva 2004), or that have been released intourban environments on purpose, such as Sicalis flaveolaand Passer <strong>do</strong>mesticus (Guilherme 2000, 2011). Thesespecies were first recor<strong>de</strong>d in the state capital (Rio Branco),but have since colonized practically all the urban centerslocated along the main highways that cross the state.Few regional ornithological studies are availablethat can be used for systematic comparisons with theinventory presented here, although similar studies havebeen conducted in the Brazilian state of Roraima andthe Bolivian <strong>de</strong>partment of Pan<strong>do</strong>. Roraima is the onlyBrazilian state localized within the Amazon basin whichhas had its avifauna surveyed systematically – includinghistorical records – in recent years (Santos 2005; Naka etal. 2006). Santos (2005) and Naka et al (2006) recor<strong>de</strong>d741 bird species in Roraima, a total 10.3% higher thanwhat I am reporting here for <strong>Acre</strong>. There are two mainfactors that may account for this difference. One is thefact that Roraima’s area is almost a third (32%) largerthan that of <strong>Acre</strong>, and the other is the fact that Roraimais a more heterogeneous region, with a number of typesof habitat not found in <strong>Acre</strong>, such as dry and montaneforests, tepuis, and savannas (Santos 2005; Nakaet al. 2006).By contrast, the species richness recor<strong>de</strong>d here for<strong>Acre</strong> was 25.5% higher than that reported by Remsenand Traylor (1989) for Pan<strong>do</strong>, in Bolivia, although therewas a similarity of 91.6% between the species lists ofthe two territories, which is a result of their geographicand ecological similarities, including the same habitatsand similar altitu<strong>de</strong>s (Parker & Remsen 1997; Tobias &Sed<strong>do</strong>n 2007). The larger number of species recor<strong>de</strong>d for<strong>Acre</strong> may be related to sampling effort, but also the factthat this state is more than twice the size of its Boliviancounterpart (164,221 km 2 vs 61,331 km 2 ).The number of bird species known to occur in <strong>Acre</strong>more than <strong>do</strong>ubled over the past two <strong>de</strong>ca<strong>de</strong>s, which reflectsthe increase in sampling effort during this period (Figure 4).However, whereas the number of species already recor<strong>de</strong>dfor the state is substantial, it seems likely that the specieslist will still grow over the next few years. This conclusionis partly supported by some of the species that have beenrecor<strong>de</strong>d in neighboring areas, such as southwesternAmazonas and the lowlands of Peru and Bolivia, but haveyet to be confirmed for <strong>Acre</strong> (Appendix 2).Recent surveys in <strong>Acre</strong> have recor<strong>de</strong>d a numberof species that were previously known only for thePeruvian and Bolivian Amazon basin. The records ofXiphorhynchus chunchotambo, Pachyramphus xanthogenys,Picumnus subtilis, Glyphorhynchus spirurus albigularis,and Poecilotriccus albifacies presented here were the firstfor Brazil (Guilherme & Aleixo, 2008, Aleixo et al.2008, Rego et al. 2009, Guilherme 2009, Zimmer et al.2010). Some of these species were previously known onlyfrom the Peruvian and Bolivian An<strong>de</strong>an region at low tomo<strong>de</strong>rate elevations and have only recently been recor<strong>de</strong>din the adjacent lowlands of the Brazilian Amazon basin(Guilherme & Aleixo 2008, Aleixo et al. 2008, Rego et al.2009, Aleixo & Guilherme 2010, Zimmer et al. 2010).One other example is Chrysolampis mosquitus, which wasrecor<strong>de</strong>d from the upper Purus in 2007 (Guilherme &Dantas 2008, Guilherme & Dantas 2011a); previously,this species had been recor<strong>de</strong>d two years earlier in Bolivia(Tobias & Sed<strong>do</strong>n 2007).Overall, the sum of the confirmed species (Appendix1) with those of likely occurrence (Appendix 2) indicatesa potential count of 757 bird species for the Brazilian stateof <strong>Acre</strong>. If this prediction is confirmed even partially, <strong>Acre</strong>would have one of the richest avifaunas of any Brazilianstate, <strong>de</strong>spite its relative reduced area.Zoogeography of birds in <strong>Acre</strong><strong>Acre</strong> resembles a butterfly wing in shape, with aconstriction in the center of two roun<strong>de</strong>d lobes (Figure2), with its primary axis in an east-west orientation,rather than north-south. This means that the distribution<strong>Revista</strong> <strong>Brasileira</strong> <strong>de</strong> <strong>Ornitologia</strong>, 20(4), 2012


Birds of the Brazilian state of <strong>Acre</strong>: diversity, zoogeography, and conservationEdson Guilherme407of local species is best un<strong>de</strong>rstood in an east-west, ratherthan a north-south dimension, with the Purus Riverforming the principal division within the state. The Purusdivi<strong>de</strong>s <strong>Acre</strong> into two main portions, an eastern portionon its right margin, and western portion to its left margin(Figure 2).Of the resi<strong>de</strong>nt forest taxa in <strong>Acre</strong>, almost 80% arewi<strong>de</strong>ly distributed within the state, being found in bothits eastern and western portions. Among other things, thisreflects the mostly low-lying terrain (except in the westernextreme) and relatively homogeneous habitats foundthroughout most of the state. This low species turnoverwould be expected in the absence of major physicalbarriers, such as rivers or mountains, capable of limitingthe dispersal of most taxa. However, some taxa onlyoccur in one of the state’s two sub-regions, although thisdistribution pattern appears not related to the presenceof the two main rivers that cross the state, the Purus andthe Juruá. This may be primarily due to the fact that thesehighly mean<strong>de</strong>ring rivers arise in lowland Amazonia, andso, taxa can cross them often more easily than they wouldrivers whose headwaters are in unsuitable habitat (such asdry country or mountains). Genetic studies of primates(Peres et al. 1996), ro<strong>de</strong>nts (Patton et al. 1994; Patton andSilva 1998), birds (Aleixo 2004, Fernan<strong>de</strong>s et al. 2012),and amphibians (Gascon et al. 1998) have all confirmedthat the Juruá is an ineffective zoogeographic barrier forthese groups.Other factors may nevertheless influence thedistribution of different taxa in southwestern Amazonia,including interspecific competition, edaphic conditionsand habitat characteristics (Tuomisto et al. 1995, 2003;Daly & Silveira, 2002; Roig & Martini, 2002; Silveiraet al. 2002). A closer examination of the geographicdistribution of birds within one of the sub-regions(Appendix 1) reveals that the pattern observed in <strong>Acre</strong> isrepeated on the Peruvian si<strong>de</strong> of the bor<strong>de</strong>r. Species suchas Phlegopsis erythroptera, Thamnomanes saturninus, Attilacitriniventris, Pipra filicauda, and Dixiphia pipra havealso been recor<strong>de</strong>d only in northeast Peru (Schulenberget al. 2007). Similarly, Poecilotriccus albifacies, Cnipo<strong>de</strong>ctessuperrufus, and Micrococcyx cinereus, which were onlyfound in eastern <strong>Acre</strong> (Appendix 1), were also found onlyin adjacent southeastern Peru (Schulenberg et al. 2007).A similar pattern has also been recor<strong>de</strong>d for palms(Arecaceae) in <strong>Acre</strong>. Some species, such as Wettiniaaugusta, Syagrus smithii, Socratea salazarii, Iriartellastenocarpa, Hyospathe elegans, Dyctyocaryum ptarianum,Bactris riparia, and Astrocaryum faranae, are foun<strong>do</strong>nly in the western sub-region of <strong>Acre</strong> (Lorenzi et al.2004). Other species, such as Astrocaryum aculeatum,Astrocaryum murumuru, and Bactris elegans are restrictedto the eastern part of the state (Lorenzi et al. 2004). Eventhough practically all these species of palm also occurin areas adjacent to <strong>Acre</strong>, their east-west distributionwithin the state is similar to that observed in some birdspecies (Appendix 1). Some of these palm species arealso restricted to specific environments, such as plateaus,swamps, campinas, and campinaranas. This distributionpattern in <strong>Acre</strong> may be a reflection of the sedimentaryhistory of the Marañon–Ucayali–<strong>Acre</strong> basin, to the west,and the Madre <strong>de</strong> Dios basin, to the east. In the westernpart of the state, relatively ancient formations (e.g.,Fm Moa, Rio Azul, Divisor and Cruzeiro <strong>do</strong> Sul) wereexposed by the uplift of the An<strong>de</strong>s, and contrast withthe more recent Cenozoic formations in the east partsof the state, e.g., Fm Solimões and Fm Madre <strong>de</strong> Dios(Milani & Thomaz Filho, 2000, Campbell et al., 2006).In western <strong>Acre</strong>, the topography and variations in thecomposition of the soil have played an important role inthe formation of distinct ecosystems, which may certainlyhelp to explain the higher number of species of palms andbirds (and probably others groups of organisms) restrictedto western <strong>Acre</strong> (Lorenzi et al. 2004, Guilherme, 2009).For most of the species restricted to one of the subregions,<strong>Acre</strong> and the adjacent lowlands of Peru representthe southwestern extreme of their distribution in theAmazon basin. Species such as Thamnomanes saturninus,Pipra filicauda (Figure 6), and Dixiphia pipra are wi<strong>de</strong>lydistributed in northern Amazonia, ranging south as faras the southwestern extreme of the Amazon lowlands(Ridgely & Tu<strong>do</strong>r, 2009). There are exceptions, however,such as Thamnophilus divisorius, which is en<strong>de</strong>mic towestern <strong>Acre</strong> and northeastern Peru. The distribution ofthis species is associated with an area of mo<strong>de</strong>rate altitu<strong>de</strong>,the submontane forests of the Serra <strong>do</strong> Divisor range.Many of the taxa restricted to the eastern sub-region of<strong>Acre</strong> are associated with bamboo forests (e.g., Picumnussubtilis, Cnipo<strong>de</strong>ctes superrufus, and Poecilotriccus albifacies)or <strong>de</strong>nse rainforest (e.g., Lepi<strong>do</strong>thrix coronata exquisita).Eastern <strong>Acre</strong> encompasses the greatest concentration ofthese habitats than the western portion of the state. Thissuggests that habitat-related environmental gradientsmay play a more important role in the distribution ofthe species in eastern <strong>Acre</strong> than the mere presence of aphysical barrier such as the Purus River. Other taxarestricted to eastern <strong>Acre</strong>, such as Crypturellus undulatusundulatus, Antrostomus sericocaudatus, and Herpsilochmusrufimaginatus, are more wi<strong>de</strong>ly distributed in the Amazonbasin, although this may represent the southwesternextreme of their distribution.Allopatric/parapatric rangesWhereas five pairs of purported sister taxa appear tohave an allopatric distribution in <strong>Acre</strong> (Table 1), it seemslikely that further ornithological surveys may confirmthat these taxa are actually parapatric in the state, and thattheir apparent allopatric distribution is merely a samplingartifact. A common feature of the taxa consi<strong>de</strong>red to be<strong>Revista</strong> <strong>Brasileira</strong> <strong>de</strong> <strong>Ornitologia</strong>, 20(4), 2012


408Birds of the Brazilian state of <strong>Acre</strong>: diversity, zoogeography, and conservationEdson Guilhermeallopatric in this study is the presence of one of the twoforms in each of the two sub-regions of the state (Table1), which suggests that they are separated by the Purus,which may act as a physical barrier to dispersal. However,a closer examination of the taxa listed in Table 1 indicatesthat it is more likely that pairs such as Crypturellusundulatus undulatus/yapura may in fact be limited bycompetition. This conclusion is supported by the factthat these medium-sized birds are capable of flying acrosseven the largest of Amazonian rivers (Remsen & Parker1983; Ayres & Marigo 1995) and that they attract theirmates primarily through their vocalizations (Sick, 1997).However, Lepi<strong>do</strong>thrix coronata coronata and L. c.exquisita are weak fliers, which tend to be restricted to theinterior of the forest. In this specific case, the Purus andthe floodplain (várzea forest) associated with it, which thespecies tends to avoid, may in fact function as a physicalbarrier to dispersal between the two populations. At thepresent time, Lepi<strong>do</strong>thrix c. coronata is known only fromthe western sub-region (left margin of the Purus), whereasL. c. exquisita is thought to be restricted to the easternsub-region (right margin).Most of the species with two or more purportedsister or closely related taxa in <strong>Acre</strong> have a parapatricdistribution (Table 2), following a general distributionpattern within the state. This pattern is characterizedby the wi<strong>de</strong> distribution of one taxon (marked with anasterisk in Table 2) and a more restricted range for theother. There were two exceptions to this general pattern,however. In the case of Thamnophilus aethiops juruanusand T.a. kapouni, both subspecies were recor<strong>de</strong>d in boththe east and the west of the state, whereas both Galbula<strong>de</strong>a amazonum and G. d. phainopepla were only foundin eastern <strong>Acre</strong>. This configuration may reflect thecompetition between these pairs of taxa within secondarycontact zones (Haffer 1997; Price 2008).It seems possible that the parapatric taxa with arestricted distribution within the state represent formsthat have arrived recently from other regions within theAmazon basin (Haffer 1987; 1997). On arriving in a region,competition with the sister / closely related taxon likelyrestricts the distribution of the new arrival to a peripheralarea of the range of its congener / conspecific taxon.Contact zonesTwo principal zones of “secondary contact” werei<strong>de</strong>ntified on the basis of the distribution of the parapatrictaxa within the state of <strong>Acre</strong>. One is a north-south contactzone (i.e., “vertical contact zone”) located in the westernpart of the state (Figures 5 and 6) whereas the secondwas a east-west contact zone (i.e., “horizontal contactzone”) in eastern <strong>Acre</strong> (Figure 7). The western contactzone is characterized by the meeting of replacement taxa,one of which is distributed northwards to the northernSolimões (Amazon) basin, whereas the other is distribute<strong>de</strong>astwards into the southern Amazon basin, as in the caseof Pipra filicauda/fasciicauda (Haffer 1997, Figure 6), oreven beyond the southern boundaries of Amazonia, suchas with Pteroglossus castanotis castanotis/australis (Pinto1978), and Crypturellus undulatus undulatus/yapura (<strong>de</strong>lHoyo et al. 1992; Pinto 1978). A similar situation isobserved in the case of Dendrocincla fuliginosa neglecta/atrirostris, in which both forms are found only in theAmazon basin (<strong>de</strong>l Hoyo et al. 2003).A different pattern can be observed in the easterncontact zone, where one of the replacement taxa is wi<strong>de</strong>lydistributed within the Amazon basin, whereas the otheris restricted to the foothills of the An<strong>de</strong>s and neighboringlowland areas. Examples of this pattern inclu<strong>de</strong>Xiphorhynchus ocellatus/X. chunchotambo (Guilherme &Aleixo 2008), Hypocnemis peruviana/H. subflava (Isler etal. 2007, Figure 7), and Glyphorynchus s. castelnaudii/G.s. albigularis.Haffer (1997) i<strong>de</strong>ntified two elongated zones ofsecondary contact in the southwestern Amazon basin,one adjacent to the right bank of the Solimões Riverand the other parallel to the first, but farther south,crossing the upper Juruá and middle Purus towards theeastern Amazon basin. The contact zone i<strong>de</strong>ntified herein eastern <strong>Acre</strong> (Figure 7) is equivalent to the latter ofthese zones in Haffer’s scheme. Whereas at least one ofthese contact zones was known to exist in <strong>Acre</strong>, it wasnecessary to i<strong>de</strong>ntify which of the local taxa corroboratedits occurrence, given that Haffer, in contrast with otherregions of the Amazon basin, did not i<strong>de</strong>ntify the taxathat supported the proposed contact zone in southwesternAmazonia. Whereas Haffer i<strong>de</strong>ntified the taxa thatconfigure the contact zones in the regions referred toas the Ma<strong>de</strong>ira/Tapajós interfluvium and the Teles PiresRiver on the upper Tapajós, the present study focused onthe region of Brazilian Amazonia for which there werepractically no recent ornithological data. Given thisscenario, it was possible not only to confirm the existenceof one of the contact zones in southwestern Amazonia,but also to provi<strong>de</strong> support for the conclusion that thesezones are not related functionally to the configuration ofthe principal rivers that drain the region, i.e., the Purusand Juruá (Haffer 1997).Hybridization zonesThe hybridization zones i<strong>de</strong>ntified in the presentstudy were characterized by the presence of inferredhybrid specimens, which supposedly resulted from geneflow between parapatric purported sister / closely relatedtaxa (Haffer 1986, 1992a; Aleixo 2007; Price 2008). Twohybridization zones, corresponding to the contact zones,were i<strong>de</strong>ntified in the two extremes (eastern and western)of the state.<strong>Revista</strong> <strong>Brasileira</strong> <strong>de</strong> <strong>Ornitologia</strong>, 20(4), 2012


Birds of the Brazilian state of <strong>Acre</strong>: diversity, zoogeography, and conservationEdson Guilherme409The hybridization zone of eastern <strong>Acre</strong> is supportedby the observation of transitional forms of the taxaBrotogeris cyanoptera cyanoptera/beniensis and Momotusmomota simplex/cf. nattereri. The existence of the westernzone was supported only by the taxa Pteroglossus castanotiscastanotis/australis. In this case, the specimen MPEG26747 from the upper Juruá, which was originallyclassified as P. c. australis by Novaes (1957), presentsplumage traits and external morphology, such as the billcolor and shape, that appear to be intermediate betweenP. c. castanotis and P. c. australis. In addition to these twotaxa, it seems likely that other transitional forms may existbetween Dendrocolaptes certhia juruanus and polyzonus,given that they both occur within the same region. As thepresent study did not inclu<strong>de</strong> the most mo<strong>de</strong>rn analyticaltechniques available (e.g., molecular genetics andvocalization analyses), the two principal hybridizationzones i<strong>de</strong>ntified here were consi<strong>de</strong>red to be “probable”rather than <strong>de</strong>finitive. Obviously, the confirmation ofthe status of these zones will <strong>de</strong>pend on the collection ofmore <strong>de</strong>tailed data, <strong>de</strong>rived from more extensive surveysusing alternative scientific approaches.Haffer (1987, p. 140) presented a map showinga wi<strong>de</strong> hybridization zone that begins in the foothillsof the An<strong>de</strong>s, in northeastern Peru, and extends as faras the Amazonian lowlands, crossing the upper Juruáin <strong>Acre</strong>, which corresponds exactly to the westernhybridization zone i<strong>de</strong>ntified in the present study. Eventhough Haffer (1987) did not provi<strong>de</strong> informationon the taxa supporting his southwestern Amazonianhybridization zone, the parapatric distribution oftaxa such as P. c. castanotis and P. c. australis, andDendrocolaptes certhia juruanus and polyzonus in western<strong>Acre</strong> provi<strong>de</strong> some additional evi<strong>de</strong>nce for the existenceof this hybridization zone.Conservation<strong>Acre</strong> is covered almost entirely by Amazonianrainforest (<strong>Acre</strong> 2000), although 11% of its originalforest cover has been lost as a consequence of recenthuman activities in the region (Souza et al. 2006). Evenso, <strong>Acre</strong> is still one of the least <strong>de</strong>forested of BrazilianAmazonian states (Fearnsi<strong>de</strong> 1993). One of the principalreasons for this has almost certainly been the creation andconsolidation of a wi<strong>de</strong> network of protected areas, whichnow covers almost half of the state’s territory (<strong>Acre</strong> 2000).The i<strong>de</strong>ntification of taxa that only occur in habitatsthat are either un<strong>de</strong>r-represented or non-existent in thestate’s protected areas pointed clearly to two main gaps inits conservation coverage: the campinas and campinaranasof westermost <strong>Acre</strong> and the <strong>de</strong>nse lowland rainforests ofthe extreme eastern portion of the state.The campinas and campinaranas of western <strong>Acre</strong>must be protected not only because these habitats arenot represented a<strong>de</strong>quately in any of the state’s protectedareas, but primarily because some bird species are onlyfound in these habitats (see Guilherme & Borges 2011).The creation of protected areas within the <strong>de</strong>nse rainforestof easternmost <strong>Acre</strong> is strongly encouraged due to thepresence of taxa associated specifically with this type ofhabitat, such as Lepi<strong>do</strong>thrix coronata exquisita. Other taxawith similar distributions inclu<strong>de</strong> Brotogeris cyanopterabeniensis, Momotus momota simplex, and Hemitriccusminor. These zoogeographic consi<strong>de</strong>rations are furtheremphasized by the fact that eastern <strong>Acre</strong> <strong>de</strong>nse lowlandrainforests are within the most <strong>de</strong>nsely-populated partof the state, which has suffered high <strong>de</strong>forestation rates(<strong>Acre</strong> 2000).Priority areas for new ornithological surveysBirds are consi<strong>de</strong>red to be the best known and mosta<strong>de</strong>quately sampled vertebrate group in the Amazonbasin. Even so, many areas have yet to be explored byornithologists, and represent gaps in our knowledge onthe region’s avifauna (Oren & Albuquerque 1991). In<strong>Acre</strong>, the areas with the best ornithological samplingto date are the Alto Juruá Extractivist Reserve and theSerra <strong>do</strong> Divisor National Park, located in the westernpart of the state, and the Rio <strong>Acre</strong> Ecological Station andChandless National Park in the eastern sub-region. Allother areas are either un<strong>de</strong>r-sampled, or have never beenvisited by ornithologists (Figure 3). The primary factorlimiting the number of surveys is the logistical difficultiesof visiting these remote areas, which can only be reache<strong>do</strong>nly by river or, in some cases, only by plane. The humanpopulation <strong>de</strong>nsity of these areas is extremely low, andthere is very little infrastructure.Given the current situation, the following areascan be consi<strong>de</strong>red to be of the highest priority for futureornithological surveys in the Brazilian state of <strong>Acre</strong>:Western sub-regiona) Enclaves of campina and campinarana in themunicipalities of Cruzeiro <strong>do</strong> Sul, MâncioLima, Porto Walter, and Marechal Taumaturgo;b) Interfluvium of the Liberda<strong>de</strong>-Gregório rivers;c) Interfluvium of the Muru-Tarauacá rivers;d) Interfluvium of the Envira-Purus rivers;Eastern sub-regiona) Areas surrounding the town of Santa Rosa <strong>do</strong>Purus, on the Brazil-Peru bor<strong>de</strong>r;b) Interfluvium of the Caeté-Iaco rivers;c) Dense rainforests of the municipalities ofSena<strong>do</strong>r Guiomard, Pláci<strong>do</strong> <strong>de</strong> Castro, and<strong>Acre</strong>lândia.<strong>Revista</strong> <strong>Brasileira</strong> <strong>de</strong> <strong>Ornitologia</strong>, 20(4), 2012

We present the first records of Augastes scutatus for the state of Bahia, whose range now is only 150 kmaway from that of its purported allospecies (A. lumachella). Based on geological evi<strong>de</strong>nce and vegetation cover, we suggest that thepossible vicariant barrier that led to the speciation of these allospecies would be represented by the Caetité plateau (covered mainlyby Cerra<strong>do</strong>) and the lowland areas of the Contas river valley (covered mainly by Caatinga), both in southern Bahia. Possibly, theisolation of those two species in different sectors of the Espinhaço Range (northern and southern parts) is related to climatic changesof the Plio-Pleistocene, which should led populations of an ancestral lineage to take refuge in these higher areas during one or moreinterglacial periods.KEY-WORDS: Augastes; biogeography; campos rupestres; geographical barrier; vicariance.INTRODUCTIONThe genus Augastes Gould, 1849 is represented bythree species: A. scutatus (Temminck, 1824), A. lumachella(Lesson, 1838) and A. geoffroyi (Bourcier, 1843)(Schuchmann 1999). Augastes scutatus and A. lumachellaare consi<strong>de</strong>red possible allospecies, both restricted to thecampos rupestres vegetation in the highlands of the EspinhaçoRange, eastern Brazil (Silva 1995, Sick 1997, Vasconcelos2008). Augastes scutatus is known to be restricted to thecentral and southern portions of the Espinhaço Range (inMinas Gerais state), while A. lumachella is distributed inthe northern section of this mountain range (ChapadaDiamantina region and northern mountains in Bahiastate; Ruschi 1962, 1963, Grantsau 1967, 1988, Silva1995, Sick 1997, Schuchmann 1999, Vasconcelos 2008,Souza et al. 2009). Both species of Augastes en<strong>de</strong>mic to theEspinhaço Range are tightly linked to the campos rupestresflora (see Vasconcelos 2011), feeding on nectar and usingmaterial to build nests from various plant species en<strong>de</strong>micor typical of this vegetation type (Ruschi 1962, Grantsau1967, 1988, Vasconcelos & Lombardi 2001, Vasconceloset al. 2001, Macha<strong>do</strong> et al. 2003, 2007, Rodrigues 2011).Augastes geoffroyi ranges in the An<strong>de</strong>an region, fromBolivia to Colombia and Venezuela (Ruschi 1963, Fjeldså& Krabbe 1990, Schuchmann 1999). Nevertheless, thereare <strong>do</strong>ubts whether this species should be consi<strong>de</strong>red arepresentant of the genus Augastes or the genus Schistes(Schuchmann 1999), thus its evolutionary affinities stillneeds to be better studied un<strong>de</strong>r a phylogenetic perspective(see Abreu 2006).The mountains of the Espinhaço Range consistof an ancient unit belonging to the pre<strong>do</strong>minantlyquartzitic Espinhaço Supergroup, which was <strong>de</strong>positedin a continental rift (starting around 1,752 millionyears ago) and later metamorphosed and uplifted in theBrasiliano orogeny, between 650 and 550 million yearsago (Schobbenhaus 1996, Barbosa et al. 2003, Pedreira &De Waele 2008). With the tectonic events that resulted inthe fragmentation of Gondwanaland in the Mesozoic, theregion suffered differential movement and sag, with upliftof neighboring blocks. This movement was continued,but with less intensity, throughout the Cenozoic (Saadi1993, 1995, Uhlein et al. 1995, Horn et al. 1996, Potter1997, Ab’Sáber 2000, Cruz & Alkmim 2007, Knauer2007, Caxito et al. 2008).Consi<strong>de</strong>ring both putative allospecies in easternBrazilian mountains (A. scutatus and A. lumachella), Silva


444First record of Augastes scutatus for Bahia refines the location of a purported barrier promoting speciation in the Espinhaço Range, BrazilMarcelo Ferreira <strong>de</strong> Vasconcelos, An<strong>de</strong>rson Vieira Chaves and Fabrício Rodrigues <strong>do</strong>s Santos(1995) suggested that a vicariant event in the EspinhaçoRange region would be the responsible for their speciation.Meanwhile, until recently, there was a gap of more than300 km between the ranges of these two species ofAugastes in the Espinhaço Range (between Grão Mogol,Minas Gerais, and the southern Chapada Diamantina,Bahia). Thus, it was not possible to infer what would bethe geographical barrier that led to this probable vicariantevent. Later, Vasconcelos (2008) collected specimens ofA. scutatus in the extreme northern Minas Gerais (Serra<strong>do</strong> Pau D’Arco), and this gap was reduced to 180 km.Here, we report on the northernmost record to date forA. scutatus, which provi<strong>de</strong>s insights on the purportedvicariant barrier responsible for the speciation of bothAugastes species in eastern Brazil.MATERIAL AND METHODSBetween 4 and 7 January 2011, we collected birdspecimens at Morro <strong>do</strong> Chapéu (between 14°52’44”S/42°30’15”W and 14°54’11”S / 42°31’33”W), a mountainlocated in Jacaraci municipality, southern Bahiastate. Specimens were collected with air-compressedcarbines, prepared as study skins and <strong>de</strong>posited at theornithological collections of the Department of Zoologyof the Universida<strong>de</strong> Fe<strong>de</strong>ral <strong>de</strong> Minas Gerais (DZUFMG)and of the Museu <strong>de</strong> Ciências Naturais da PontifíciaUniversida<strong>de</strong> Católica <strong>de</strong> Minas Gerais (MCNA), bothin Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil.RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONOn 5 January, a male of A. scutatus (DZUFMG 6668)was collected in a campo rupestre area at Morro <strong>do</strong> Chapéu(14°53’44”S; 42°30’59”W; elevation: 1,325 m). On thenext day, another male (MCNA 1314) was collected onthe mountain-top (14°54’00”S; 42°31’05”W; elevation:1,430 m). These are the first records of this species inBahia state, narrowing the gap between its range and thatof its northern supposed allospecies (A. lumachella) toonly about 150 km (Figure 1).Other species of plants and amphibians also sharea similar pattern of distribution of these two putativehummingbird allospecies, whereby a species occurs in thecentral-southern portion (in Minas Gerais state) while theother is distributed in the northern section (in ChapadaDiamantina region, Bahia state) of the Espinhaço Range(Harley 1995, Lugli & Haddad 2006a, b, Leite et al.2008). Some authors (e.g., Rapini et al. 2008, Ribeiro etal. 2008) admit that the disjunction between the camposrupestres of Minas Gerais and Bahia would be of 300km, with a lowland barrier imposed by the valleys of theContas, Par<strong>do</strong> and Jequitinhonha rivers, all covered withxerophytic Caatinga and other semi-<strong>de</strong>ciduous forestvegetations. These dry valleys would promote the vicarianceof these taxa insi<strong>de</strong> the Espinhaço Range and also preventfloristic and faunistic exchange between the centralsouthern(Minas Gerais) and northern (Bahia) sections ofthis mountain range (e.g., Harley 1988, Borba et al. 2001,Lugli & Haddad 2006a, b, Rapini et al. 2008, Ribeiro etal. 2008). Nevertheless, the recent records of A. scutatus insouthern Bahia show that this possible disjunction is onlyhalf (c. 150 km) of the original presumed distance, andwould inclu<strong>de</strong> only the Contas River valley.It is also important to stress that there is a smallplateau in the Caetité region (between 800 and 1,100 m),north of Jacaraci, which could represent a stepping-stonelinking both sections of the Espinhaço highlands (Figure1). Meanwhile, this plateau is pre<strong>do</strong>minantly coveredby typical Cerra<strong>do</strong> (savannah), and there are only smallpatches of rocky outcrops around the village of Brejinhodas Ametistas (with less than 3 ha each) with several typicalCaatinga plants (including several cacti), but only a fewtypical montane plant species, such as Vellozia sp. (M. F.V. pers. obs.). A survey conducted in this area by M. F.V. (between 29 April and 5 May 2008) failed to recordany Augastes. Thus, these small patches of rocky outcropsin the Caetité plateau probably <strong>do</strong> not represent suitablehabitat for any species of Augastes, especially because theylack several plants typical of the habitats used by those twohummingbirds. Also, the lithology of the Caetité plateauis completely different from that of the Espinhaço Range.It is pre<strong>do</strong>minantly composed by Cenozoic sedimentaryrocks of the last 60 million years that have been <strong>de</strong>positedin topographically lower areas in relation to the adjacentEspinhaço mountains (Schobbenhaus 1996, Barbosa et al.2003, Cruz & Alkmim 2007, Caxito et al. 2008). Thus,during the Cenozoic, the plateau in the Caetité region wasnot represented by high mountains, and, even with presentaltitu<strong>de</strong>s above 1,000 m, it <strong>do</strong>es not have any representativearea of campos rupestres typical of the Espinhaço Range thatcould maintain viable populations of plants and animalsassociated to this vegetation type (see Vasconcelos 2011).Thus, this region, together with the Contas lowland rivervalley, originally covered by Caatinga vegetation, is notsuitable for the mo<strong>de</strong>rn occurrence and dispersal of bothspecies of Augastes in the Espinhaço Range, as well as severalother typical campo rupestre plants and amphibians fromcentral-southern (Minas Gerais) and northern (Bahia)sections of this mountain range.The possible vicariance between the two speciesof Augastes may be related to climate changes during thePio-Pleistocene. In this context, it is possible that duringglobal cooling events, taxa of plants and animals typical ofthe campos rupestres, which are currently restricted to themountain-tops, may have survived at lower altitu<strong>de</strong>s (seeHarley 1988, Safford 2007). In this case, an ancestral lineageof the two species of Augastes would be formerly distributedin a wi<strong>de</strong>r area.

Thus, ancestralpopulations would have been trapped in “islands” of camposrupestres on the Espinhaço Range mountain-tops, with onepopulation isolated in a southern area and another in thenorthern region, respectively originating A. scutatus and A.lumachella. Even if we consi<strong>de</strong>r potential dispersal amongridges located in the southern and northern portions ofEspinhaço Range, these two populations would have beenunable to cross areas of unsuitable habitats, such as thoserepresented by the Caetité plateau and the Contas Riverlowlands. All these hypotheses can be evaluated once aphylogeography /phylogeny is available for A. scutatus andA. lumachella and the genus Augastes as a whole, as well asother campo rupestre bird species with wi<strong>de</strong>r distributionsthroughout the Espinhaço Range, such as Polystictussuperciliaris and Embernagra longicauda.ACKNOWLEDGEMENTSWe are grateful to J.

Accepted on 13 September 2012.ABSTRACT: The Crowned Eagle (Urubitinga coronata, Accipitridae) is a globally endangered raptor, en<strong>de</strong>mic to central andsouthern South America. Little is known about this species in Bolivia and no nesting or prey data have been reported for thecountry until now. Between 2007 and 2011, we <strong>de</strong>tected Crowned Eagles in four different locations in Moxos Savannahs of BeniDepartment, Bolivia. We observed an active nest of Crowned Eagle on 23 November 2007. The nest contained a nestling and itwas placed on a living tree approximately 13 m in height and approximately 8 m above the ground. This nest was empty duringSeptember and October 2008, but contained another nestling on 15 November 2009. These represent the first breeding records forthe Crowned Eagle in Bolivia. Prey remains at the nest observed inclu<strong>de</strong>d two nine-ban<strong>de</strong>d armadillos (Dasypus novemcinctus) andtwo six-ban<strong>de</strong>d armadillos (Euphractus sexcinctus). The minimum number of individual Crowned Eagles in the surveyed area wasseven. Our observations of family groups, juveniles and two nestlings confirm the breeding of Crowned Eagles in the Moxos plains.Ectoparasites and uncontrolled burns may threaten the northwestern Bolivian population of the endangered Crowned Eagle.KEY-WORDS: Buteogallus coronatus; conservation; Crowned Solitary Eagle; diet; Harpyhaliaetus coronatus; Moxos savannas; nesting.INTRODUCTIONThe Crowned Eagle (Urubitinga coronata,Accipitridae) is a large raptor (approximately 2.9 kg)en<strong>de</strong>mic to central and southern South America,including Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay and Argentina (Collaret al. 1992, Thiollay 1994, Ferguson-Lees & Christie2001, BirdLife International 2012). This rare eagle occursin low <strong>de</strong>nsities in open and semi-open habitats, in openwoodland, savannah, brushy steppe, dry scrub, lowland,and open or lightly woo<strong>de</strong>d foothills up to 1,200 m(Thiollay 1994, Ferguson-Lees & Christie 2001, Barcellos& Accordi 2006, Monteiro Granzinolli et al. 2006). Thisspecies is consi<strong>de</strong>red globally endangered due to its small,fragmented population, and the severity of the threatsit faces strongly suggest a significant and continuing<strong>de</strong>cline in numbers (Sarasola & Maceda 2006, BirdLifeInternational 2012, IUCN 2012).The national conservation status of the CrownedEagle in Bolivia is Endangered (Bal<strong>de</strong>rrama et al. 2009).The presence of the species in Bolivia was confirmed in afew sites in two separated regions: southeastern Santa Cruz(Kratter et al. 1993, Aráujo et al. 2001, Quiroga & Malo2006, Vi<strong>do</strong>z et al. 2010a, Vi<strong>do</strong>z et al. 2010b), and BeniDepartment (Rocha 1990, Brace et al. 1997, Maillar<strong>de</strong>t al. 2008, Kingsbury & McNeill 2010). In Bolivia theCrowned Eagle occurs in lowlands, generally between200-400m, inhabiting floo<strong>de</strong>d savannahs and dry andsemi-<strong>de</strong>ciduous forest (i.e. Chaco and Chiquitanía) ofBeni and Santa Cruz Departments of Bolivia (Hennesseyet al. 2003). While some aspects of the natural history,breeding biology, and population <strong>de</strong>mographics areknown for this species in Argentina and Brazil (Bellocq etal. 1998, Sarasola & Maceda 2006, Monteiro Granzinolliet al. 2006), virtually no information exists aboutthe populations in Bolivia (Bal<strong>de</strong>rrama et al. 2009).Furthermore, no nesting or prey data have been reportedfor Bolivia.

The Moxos savannahspopulation of Crowned Eagle is the northwestern mostpopulation in its geographical distribution range. Morethan 600 km separate localities in the Moxos savannahsfrom the closest localities in Santa Cruz <strong>de</strong>partment(Bal<strong>de</strong>rrama et al. 2009).Here we present three new localities and we confirmone historical locality for the species on the Moxossavannahs. We also report the first breeding and preyrecords for the Crowned Eagle in Bolivia.MATERIAL AND METHODSMoxos savannahs, Llanos <strong>de</strong> Mojos or Pampas <strong>de</strong>lBeni is a wi<strong>de</strong> savannah plain of edaphic associations.The region has a poor drainage, and in the wet season issusceptible to flooding. This combination of grasslandsinclu<strong>de</strong>s a mosaic of other habitats including carandampalm (Copernicia alba) groves, semi-<strong>de</strong>ciduous woodlands,gallery forest and motacú palm (Attalea phalerata ) groveson higher, unfloo<strong>de</strong>d terrain, islands that may be natural orthe work of pre-Columbian aboriginals (Denevan 1980).For every observation of Crowned Eagles in thearea we recor<strong>de</strong>d the date, time, location (coordinates),number of individuals, their ages (only as adult, juvenileor nestling), whether the birds were perched or flying,other behaviors, and type of prey, if any.RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONBetween 2007 and 2011, we observed CrownedEagles in four different locations in Moxos Savannahs ofBeni Department, Bolivia (Figure 1):A. “Río Ipuru-puru” (14º07’S; 64º57’W).September 2008.

On 23November 2007 we found a nesting pair with a nestlingat “Estancia Palma Sola.” We revisited the nest on 1December 2007 and 7 January 2008. The nest was emptyduring September and October 2008 and we did not<strong>de</strong>tect any Crowned Eagle on the territory during thatseason. On 28 October 2009 we found an adult eagleperched in a tree (Ana<strong>de</strong>nanthera colubrine) (13º84’S;64º54’W) just a few meters from the previous year’s nesttree. On 15 November 2009, we visited the nest andfound that it was reoccupied and contained one nestling.C. “Urkupinia” (13º43’S; 65º07’W). On 28September 2010 we observed one sub-adult perched ina carandam palm and a Southern Caracara (Caracaraplancus) attacking it. On 21 September 2011 we observe<strong>do</strong>ne sub-adult eagle in the same area. The individual wasperched in a carandam palm.D. “Loreto” (15º06’S; 64º41’W). On 26 August2011 we observed a juvenile Crowned Eagle flying overthe road near the town of Loreto.Breeding behaviorThe nest was located approximately 2 km east ofthe Estancia Palma Sola (13º48’S; 64º35’W) in a naturalsavanna next to a stream (locally named Arroyo Colora<strong>do</strong>).Vegetation surrounding the nest tree was a savannah withscattered trees with an average height of 8 m. The nestwas a large platform of sticks placed 9.4 m high in a 13.5m non-i<strong>de</strong>ntified thorny tree in a Curatella americanaopen woodland (Figure 1a). Between 23 November 2007and 7 January 2008 the nest contained one nestling. Onthe first and second visits to the nest we observed that thenestling was infested with botflies (Diptera, Oestridae).We also noted that the nestling had a <strong>de</strong>formed bill inwhich the upper mandible grew towards the right.We found four prey items in the nest: two nineban<strong>de</strong>darmadillos (Dasypus novemcinctus; one individualon 23 November 2007 and another individual on<strong>Revista</strong> <strong>Brasileira</strong> <strong>de</strong> <strong>Ornitologia</strong>, 20(4), 2012

Reportedprey of Crowned Eagles in other countries inclu<strong>de</strong>terrestrial vertebrates such as armadillos (Dasypodidae),skunks (Mustelidae), opposums (Di<strong>de</strong>lphidae), tinamous(Tinamidae), <strong>do</strong>mestic chickens (Gallus <strong>do</strong>mesticus),some reptiles, <strong>de</strong>ad animals and fishes (Collar et al.1992, Bellocq et al. 2002, Maceda et al. 2003, Maceda2007, Tittarelli & Villarreal 2009, Pereyra Lobos et al.2011). As in other countries, armadillos seem to havean important role in the eagle’s diet during the breedingseason (Maceda et al. 2003, Pereyra Lobos et al. 2011).Armadillos and other terrestrial animals are usuallyaffected by fire, an annual human activity in Moxos plains(Langstroth Plotkin 1996). These fires could be affectingthe availability of prey for Crowned Eagles.New localities reported in this work suggest thatMoxos plains are a favorable environment for the speciesand its presence could be better known. The plains ofMoxos is an important site for the species. We observed atleast seven individuals, including family groups, juvenilesand a nestling, confirming the reproduction of CrownedEagles in Moxos plains. Botflies and fire may act aspotential threats for this northwestern-most populationof the endangered Crowned Eagle.ACKNOWLEDGMENTSMost of these observations were possible thanks tothe Blue-throated Macaw Conservation Project (WorldParrot Trust).

Accepted on 24 August 2012.ABSTRACT: Predation of Long–tailed Silky Flycatcher (Ptilogonys caudatus) by Ornate Hawk–Eagle (Spizaetus ornatus) in a cloudforest of Costa Rica. This paper is the first record of a predation event ma<strong>de</strong> by an Hawk–Eagle (S.ornatus, Accipitridae) on a Long–tailed Silky Flycatcher (P. caudatus, Ptilogonatidae) in a cloud forest of Costa Rica, and this is the first prey item reported for thisraptor in a middle elevation forest. Also this is the first predation event reported for the Ptilogonatidae family.KEY-WORDS: Accipitridae; middle elevation forest; Ptilogonatidae; Río Macho.The Ornate Hawk-Eagle ranges from southernMexico through Central America to South America(Marquez et al. 2005). In Costa Rica, it is found almostexclusively in moist forests from sea level to 1500 meters,but can reach up 3000 m.a.s.l. (Stiles & Skutch 1989).The Ornate Hawk-Eagle is <strong>de</strong>pen<strong>de</strong>nt on mature forestfor nesting which takes place in the forest canopy, but canuse clearings or open areas for foraging (Lyon & Kuhnigk1985, Stiles & Skutch 1989, Marquez et al. 2005).The diet of this hawk eagle has been studiedmainly in the Petén of Guatemala (Lyon & Kuhnigk1985, Madrid et al. 1991), Manaus in Brazil (Klein etal. 1988), Belize (Clinton et al. 1991) and AmazonianPeru (Robinson 1994), but few isolated predation eventshave been previously reported for other areas (Haymann1990, Boinski et al. 2003, De Luna et al. 2010). Itsdietary items inclu<strong>de</strong> birds, small mammals and reptilessuch as snakes and lizards (e.g. Iguanidae Iguana iguana,Teiidae; Klein et al. 1988, Clinton et al. 1991, Rangel& Enriquez 1993, Robinson 1994). Avian prey itemsinclu<strong>de</strong>d members of the following families: Tinamidae(e.g. Tinamus sp., Crypturellus sp.), Rallidae (e.g.Arami<strong>de</strong>s cajanea, Porphyrio martinica), Ramphastidae(e.g. Ramphastos sp. Pteroglossus sp.), Psittacidae (e.g. Araspp., Brotogeris sp., Aratinga sp.), Cracidae (e.g. Penelopesp., Ortalis sp.), Psophiidae (e.g. Psophia leucoptera),Columbidae (e.g. Leptotila sp.), Cotingidae (e.g. Rupicolarupicola), Icteridae (e.g. Psarocolius sp, Cacicus sp) aswell as uni<strong>de</strong>ntified small birds (Lyon & Kuhnigk1985, Klein et al. 1988, Clinton et al. 1991, Madrid etal. 1991, Robinson 1994). The mammalian prey itemsobserved inclu<strong>de</strong>d Echimyidae (e.g. Proecomys sp.),Sciuridae (e.g. Sciurus spp.), Di<strong>de</strong>lphidae (e.g. Di<strong>de</strong>lphismarsupialis, Methachiurus nudicaudatus), Dasyproctidae(eg. Dasyprocta sp., Myoprocta sp.), Erethizontidae (e.g.Coendu sp.), Procyonidae (e.g. Potus flavus, Procyon lotor),Canidae (e.g. Speothos venaticus), Cebidae (e.g. Alouattasp., Saimiri spp., Saguinus spp., Cebus sp., Callicebus sp.)and even Phyllostomidae bats (Lyon & Kuhningk 1985,Klein et al. 1988, Stiles & Skutch 1989, Haymann 1990,Madrid et al. 1991, Rangel & Enriquez 1993, Robinson1994, Boinski et al. 2003, De Luna et al. 2010). In CostaRica the prey items of the Ornate Hawk-Eagle have beenpoorly <strong>do</strong>cumented, except for some notes of guans,unspecified small mammals, lizards and snakes (Stiles &Skutch 1989) and a squirrel monkey (Saimiri oerstedi) inCorcova<strong>do</strong> National Park (Boinski et al. 2003).This raptor is known to occur in Río Macho, CartagoProvince, near the hydroelectric dam of the “InstitutoCostarricense <strong>de</strong> Electricidad” and the “Estación <strong>de</strong>Biología Tropical y Acuicultura Río Macho” of the“Universidad Nacional <strong>de</strong> Costa Rica”. This site belongsto the Premontane Rain Forest and Lower MontaneRain Forest life zones, with an average annual rainfall


452Predation of Long–tailed Silky Flycatcher (Ptilogonys caudatus) by Ornate Hawk–Eagle (Spizaetus ornatus) in a cloud forest of Costa RicaVíctor Acosta-Chaves, Fe<strong>de</strong>rico Grana<strong>do</strong>s-Rodríguez and David Araya-Huertasof 3200-3500 mm, temperature ranging between 14-26ºC (Cal<strong>de</strong>rón 1994) and altitu<strong>de</strong> varying from 1500to 1900 m.a.s.l. The landscape consists of mature forestand secondary regenerating forest, forest plantations ofCupressus lusitanica and Alnus acumminata, coffee fields,grasslands and infrastructure for hydropower generationwith a few farmhouses.When visiting this site on 5 December 2010 along adirt road surroun<strong>de</strong>d by secondary forest and grasslands,where the oscillation tank of the hydroelectric dam islocated (9°46’6.52”N; 83°51’8.02”W), we observed aflock of Emerald Toucanets (Aulacorhynchus prasinus)with a pair of Long-tailed Silky Flycatcher (P. caudatus)foraging in a bush (Lauraceae) at the bor<strong>de</strong>r of the roadsi<strong>de</strong>at about 7h 30 min. While we watched those birds, anOrnate Hawk-eagle emerged from the surrounding trees,then gli<strong>de</strong>d towards the bush and captured a LongtailedSilky Flycatcher while it was eating a fruit. At thatmoment, the Emerald Toucanets and the other LongtailedSilky Flycatcher that survived the attack escaped tothe secondary forest for protection, as even bigger toucansare also potential preys according to literature (Rangel &Enriquez 1993). The hawk-eagle flew very quickly to the<strong>de</strong>nse vegetation on the other si<strong>de</strong> of the road as we lostsight of the raptor.The Long-tailed Silky Flycatcher is en<strong>de</strong>mic tothe highlands of Costa Rica and western Panama andinhabits middle and highland forest (it occurs at around1600 m.a.s.l. to timberline). This bird can use partiallyopen areas for feeding (Skutch 1965, Stiles & Skutch1989). To our knowledge, this is first predation reportinvolving an adult Long-tailed Silky Flycatcher andthe family Ptilogonatidae as a whole, since only nestpredation reports are avaliable for this species. (Skutch1965). This observation highlights the importance ofpredation reports obtained in the field, as many of thepasserine birds consumed by the Ornate Hawk-Eaglewere not i<strong>de</strong>ntified to species level in studies based onpellet or bones analysis (Klein et al. 1988, Rangel &Enriquez 1993). Furthermore, these records contributeto a better un<strong>de</strong>rstanding of the habits of this predatorin cloud forests, as current knowledge is limited to thehumid lowlands.ACKNOWLEDGMENTSWe thank the “Estación <strong>de</strong> Biología Tropical yAcuicultura Río Macho” for lending us facilities for birdwatching.

We also collected a blood sample of thisindividual, which was <strong>de</strong>posited in the bird collection ofMuseu <strong>de</strong> Ciências e Tecnologia, Pontífícia Universida<strong>de</strong>Católica <strong>do</strong> Rio Gran<strong>de</strong> <strong>do</strong> Sul (PUCRS - MCP 3395).We found the bird in a habitat characterized by a high<strong>de</strong>nsity of espinilho like trees, <strong>do</strong>minated by Vachelliacaven (Fabaceae) mixed with scrubby thickets and thorny,short trees (Figure 1). The habitat was similar to that<strong>de</strong>scribed for this species in the literature: thickets in aridscrub (Remsen 2003, Chesser & Brumfield 2007). Theindividual recor<strong>de</strong>d was i<strong>de</strong>ntified by plumage as an adultof the nominate subspecies (Figure 2), which occurs innearby Corrientes, and Entre Ríos, Argentina (Remsen2003). The measurements (mm) of the individual were:tarsus (21.1), culmen (23.75), exposed culmen (23.1),culmen from nostril (16.5), wing chord (68.0), tail (totallength; 72.0), and body mass (24.7 g).FIGURE 1.

Our preliminary data suggest that thespecies should be consi<strong>de</strong>red an occasional visitor inBrazil, but subsequent fieldwork may alter this view.We suggest for the species the Portuguese name “joãochaquenho”in allusion to its English and Spanish namesad<strong>de</strong>d of the vernacular name “joão” used commonly forthe representatives of ovenbirds in Brazil. We suggest thatthe range of Tarphonomus certhioi<strong>de</strong>s might extend toUruguay in the Espinilho formation along the UruguayRiver banks.ACKNOWLEDGMENTSWe thank Gabriel Larre, Caio Wahl and MiriamSantos Borba for the valuable help in the field.

Accepted on 23 August 2012.ABSTRACT: Herein we present the first <strong>do</strong>cumented record of the Least Seedsnipe Thinocorus rumicivorus (Eschscholtz, 1829)for Brazil. On the 21 April 2012 a juvenile T. rumicivorus was photographed and sound-recor<strong>de</strong>d by birdwatchers on the beachat Ubatumirim in the municipality of Ubatuba, on the northern São Paulo state coast. This is the first <strong>do</strong>cumented record of anyseedsnipe (Thinocoridae) for Brazil. Its behaviour and the circumstances and potential drivers of its vagration are discussed.KEY-WORDS: birdwatching; Eragrostis; Thinocorus; vagrancy.At mid-morning on 21 April 2012, F. C., J. C. andA. R. F. were birdwatching on the beach at Ubatumirim(23°19’53.53”S; 44°54’34.89”W) in the municipality ofUbatuba, in northern São Paulo state, Brazil, when theyencountered an unusual bird with which they were notfamiliar and could not i<strong>de</strong>ntify. They <strong>do</strong>cumented theoccurrence with a series of digital images and soundrecordings.On returning home, F. C. posted theseon a social networking site and solicited help with thei<strong>de</strong>ntification from A. C. L.; who along with Juan MazarBarnett immediately i<strong>de</strong>ntified the bird as a juvenile LeastSeedsnipe Thinocorus rumicivorus. The bird remainedat the same site for five days, remaining until the 26April. The individual (Figure 1a) was very tame anddid not interact with any other bird species on site,occasionally drinking from nearby small pools (Figure1b), and spending its entire stay along a straight pathwhich gave access to the beach for local people (Figures 1cand 1d). It foraged on the seeds of the non-native ElasticGrass Eragrostis tenuifolia (Poaceae, Chlori<strong>do</strong>i<strong>de</strong>ae) inaddition to other uni<strong>de</strong>ntified food items picked upfrom the ground. The bird was extremely tame and whenapproached closely it would prefer to run away and hi<strong>de</strong>between grass tussocks rather than flying (a behaviourthat reflects its Portuguese name ‘agacha<strong>de</strong>ira-mirim’;Figure 1a). The bird only flew on rare occasions whentotally encircled by the watching observers or whenapproached rapidly by locals on foot or on bicycles. Onflushing, the species would typically call (see archivedrecord: Pereira 2012). In the middle of the day the birdwould shelter in the sha<strong>de</strong> of the tussocks with beak andwings open, apparently suffering from the effects of heatstress. This species has not previously been <strong>do</strong>cumenteddrinking in the wild, as it is normally thought to obtainall its dietary moisture through eating succulent plants(Fjeldså 1996).Thinocoridae is an exclusively South American family,composed of four species in two genera (Attagis gayi, A.malouinus, Thinocorus orbignyianus and T. rumicivorus),which are principally distributed in An<strong>de</strong>an and coldtemperate environments in the An<strong>de</strong>s and Patagonia(Fjeldså 1996). Thinocorus rumicivorus is the smallestspecies in the family and is composed of four subspecies: T.r. pallidus found in the lowlands of southwestern Ecua<strong>do</strong>rand northwestern Peru; T. r. cuneicauda of the Peruvian<strong>de</strong>sert; T. r. bolivianus of the Altiplano region extendingfrom the extreme south of Peru through northern Chileand western Bolivia to northwestern Argentina; andfinally T. r. rumicivorus of the Patagonian steppe southto northern Tierra <strong>de</strong>l Fuego, migrating to central Chile

C.); 1b: Thinocorus rumicivorus drinking rainwater from a puddle (photoby M. A. C.); 1c and 1d: images <strong>de</strong>picting the habitat frequented by the individual (photos by M. A. C.).and the plains of northeastern Argentina and Uruguay.The species typically occupies sandy semi-<strong>de</strong>sert habitatswith a sparse cover of creeping plants and shrubs, withmany succulents. It may also use lightly cultivated areas,feeding on roads and shrubby pastures close to floo<strong>de</strong>dplains, especially in areas <strong>do</strong>minated by Parastrephia sp.(Fjeldså 1996, Lare<strong>do</strong> 1996, Aramburú et al. 2007). Itsdiet consists primarily of seeds and foliage (Fjeldså 1996,Aramburú et al. 2007, Korzun et al. 2009).In Brazil the species has been reported on oneprevious occasion; from the state of Rio Gran<strong>de</strong> <strong>do</strong> Sul,in the municipality of Tavares at the Parque Nacional daLagoa <strong>do</strong> Peixe, on 26 April 1990 by Antas (1990), asfollows:“Thinocorus rumicivorus – Uma ave em plumagemjuvenil encontrada nos campos úmi<strong>do</strong>s entre a formação<strong>de</strong> dunas e a lagoa a 26 <strong>de</strong> abril <strong>de</strong> 1990. Diagnosticadapelo seu característico <strong>de</strong>slocamento no solo e forma <strong>de</strong>corpo e bico inconfundíveis. A ausência <strong>do</strong> negro nocentro <strong>do</strong> pescoço <strong>de</strong>nunciou a ida<strong>de</strong> da ave.

No inverno austral alcança rotineiramente ascostas uruguaias. Esse é, entretanto, o primeiro registro daespécie e da família no país.”.As this record did not inclu<strong>de</strong> any supportingvouchers (images, recordings or a specimen) it could notbe accepted onto the primary list of Brazilian birds by theComitê Brasileiro <strong>de</strong> Registros Ornitológicos (CBRO)along with 30 other species for which <strong>do</strong>cumentationis not available (CBRO 2011). Reasons for this CBRO<strong>de</strong>cision were outlined in the journal “Nattereria”(CBRO 2000). As such, this record of a multi-observed,photographed and sound-recor<strong>de</strong>d individual should besufficient proof to allow this species to be promoted tothe primary list by the CBRO.Despite being one of the commonest bird speciesof southern Patagonia, Thinocorus rumicivorus has beenthe subject of few field studies and its natural history ispoorly known (Fjeldså 1996, Lare<strong>do</strong> 1996, Aramburúet al. 2007, Korzun et al. 2009).

A first <strong>do</strong>cumented Brazilian record of Least Seedsnipe Thinocorus rumicivorus Eschscholtz, 1829 (Thinocoridae)Felipe Castro, João Castro, Aluisio Ramos Ferreira, Marco Aurélio Crozariol & Alexan<strong>de</strong>r Charles Lees457likely that this individual pertains to the subspecies T. r.rumicivorus, since individuals of this taxon are migratory,travelling north to Uruguay to escape the austral winter(Fjeldså 1996). Rates of long-range vagrancy are typicallyfar higher in longer-distance migrants than shorterdistancemigrants or resi<strong>de</strong>nt species (McLaren et al.2006). The overlapping of the two Brazilian recordswithin a few days of each other at the onset of theaustral autumn is probably more than coinci<strong>de</strong>ntal,and both events may have been related to the presenceof exceptional cold weather which may have stimulatedthe individual to migrate farther north than normal. Theweather at the time of the discovery was calm, overcast,20.0 °C, 88% relative humidity and 1017 hPa, but therehad been a particularly strong cold front over southernSouth America in the preceding week. Vagrancy in thespecies has previously been reported with an adult malephotographed on the South Shetland Islands, Antarcticaon 1 December 1996 (Favero & Silva 1998). It is alsopossible, that this individual, a juvenile on its firstmigration, may have committed a navigation error orfailed to ‘turn off’ the en<strong>do</strong>genous urge (‘zugunruhe’) tocontinue migrating (cf. Lees & Gilroy 2009).The diet of the family is poorly known, althoughthe beak morphology is suitable for removing both seedsand parts of the plant itself (Korzun et al. 2009) andthis species consumes more seeds than other membersof the family, which apparently prefer shoots (Fjeldså1996). Thinocorus rumicivorus has not previously beenreported as consuming seeds of Eragrostris (cf. Aramburúet al. 2007) although Aramburú et al. (2007) found thatmembers of the family Poaceae may make up around40% of the species’ diet. Eragrostis tenuifolia is native tosouth-east Asia and the Afrotropics but has been wi<strong>de</strong>lyintroduced elsewhere in the world (Jung et al. 2008). InBrazil it has been reported from the states of Goiás, MinasGerais, São Paulo, and Rio Gran<strong>de</strong> <strong>do</strong> Sul (Boechat &Longhi-Wagner 2000). Within its regular range, T.rumicivorus has been viewed as a potential crop pest, buthas been shown to be beneficial to farmers as the speciesactually consumes more weed species and may in fact beproviding an ecosystem service (Aramburú et al. 2007).For example, in Buenos Aires the species principallyconsumed the species Polygonum aviculare, a pest of wheat(Triticum sp.), from within crops of “couza” (Brassipusnapus) (Aramburú et al. 2007).This Brazilian ‘first’ also illustrates the growingtrend for notable ornithological records to be ma<strong>de</strong> byamateur ornithologists, a situation fostered by the growthof the Wikiaves website (www.wikiaves.com.br) whichhas acted as a focal point in nurturing the communityof <strong>do</strong>mestic amateur ornithologists. This vagrant wasalso visited (‘twitched’) by many observers on subsequentdays, a regular occurrence for a vagrant sighting in Europeor North America, but perhaps the first instance of itskind in Brazil, see Booth et al. (2011) for a review of thepotential conservation benefits of this activity.ACKNOWLEDGEMENTSWe thank Paulo <strong>de</strong> Tarso Z.
