Haemosporidian genera Plasmodium , Haemoproteus and Leucocytozoon , responsible for avian malarial infections, are highly diverse and have a wide range of health effects and predictors, depending on the host and its environmental context. Here, we present, for the first time, detailed information on the identity, prevalence and parasitaemia of haem...
Despite intensive research during the last few decades, understanding of ecological and physiological factors related to haemosporidian infections in birds is still fragmentary. Since more model organisms are needed in order to understand these infections in the wild, we analysed avian haemosporidian infections in the rufous-collared sparrow ( Zono...
We present predation events, supported by photographs, for five colubrid and one viperid species; and we discussed on the reported die for each snake: viperidae: Bothrops asper; Colubridae: Dendrophidion dendrophis, Erythrolamprus epinephelus albiventris, Erythrolamprus miliaris crysostomus, Leptodeira annulata, Pseudalsophis sp., Bothrops asper.
Este artículo analiza 61 casos de aberraciones cromáticas del plumaje (ausencia total o parcial de pigmentos en algunas o en todas las plumas) en 43 especies de aves silvestres ecuatorianas, agrupadas en 21 familias, incluyendo 51 nuevos registros y siendo este el primer reporte de aberraciones en Ecuador para 14 familias. Esta compilación incluye...

The Ecuadorian inter-Andean dry valleys are highly affected by human intervention. Currently, less than 5% of the original vegetation cover of these valleys remains on creeks and hillsides. Bosque Protector Jerusalem (1,110 ha), in the upper Guayllabamba River valley, protects the largest remnants of inter-Andean dry forest in Ecuador. Here, we pre...
We report two high altitude sightings of Boat-billed Heron in the Andes of Ecuador. Based on identification and the localities were the sightings were reported, we suggest that both individuals belong to the Amazonian population of this species.
Jerusalem Protective Forest is located in northern
Ecuador Andean valley. Belongs to the Important
Bird Area (IBA): Guayllabamba Valley.
The followings are the photos taken during the
authors' respective thesis' field work.
Este manuscrito presenta información sobre el contenido estomacal de especimenes de buhos en los museos de Ecuador.
We present the monitoring information of two pairs of Bat Falcon (Falco rufigularis), onein a locality of Ecuadorian Amazon (in the Yasuní National Park, from May to June 2012)and in a locality in western Ecuador (in Milagro city, from October 2011 to July 2012). Wediscuss the observed behavior with the data in literature on this bird and, in the a...
Ante la ausencia de información detallada
sobre la dieta del Búho Ventribandeado, sugerimos
que se alimenta principalmente de
insectos, basándonos en nuestro análisis estomacal
y su correspondencia con la información
de dos especímenes del MECN. Aunque
los datos aquí presentados son limitados, el
entrenamiento adquirido durante la identificación
de...
