Identifying species' extinction risks and understanding their ecological associations are considered critical steps for achieving long-term conservation of biodiversity in the face of global changes. We evaluated the potential impact of global climate change (GCC) on the co-distribution patterns of 12 Mexican endemic hummingbirds and 118 plants the...

The rapid sprawl of urban settings often comprises a drastic landscape transformation due to the replacement of natural vegetation by impervious surfaces. However, cities can serve as critical refuges for some native fauna, particularly for pollinators. Here we used citizen data to contrast the structure of hummingbird-plant meta-networks across di...

We describe three bird-plant networks in the elfin forest of the Peruvian Andes. The elfin forest is a poorly studied ecosystem; we compared the network parameters and found key species.

Also known as Boucard’s Tinamou, Slaty-breasted Tinamou is found only in Middle America, where its overall range extends from southeastern Mexico south to Costa Rica. This species is represented by two subspecies, which differ in overall coloration. It is recorded from sea level to at least 1800 m, and this tinamou is found in a variety of forest t...

The northernmost representative of a large family of terrestrial birds, Thicket Tinamou occurs from northern Mexico south to southern Costa Rica. This species has two distinctive groups of populations. Along the Pacific lowlands of Mexico from Sinaloa to Guerrero is a subspecies that is gray below and whose male has an unbarred back. From Tamaulipa...
