El Cuco-Hormiguero Bandeado (Neomorphus radiolosus) es una especie rara, amenazada y poco estudiada, endémica de la ecorregión del Chocó. Entre septiembre de 2012 y septiembre de 2013 observé cuatro individuos de esta especie en la reserva Un poco del Chocó, en el noroccidente de Pichincha. Habitué a tres individuos a comer insectos de mi mano, lo...

Un poco del Chocó es una reserva de 15 ha ubicada en el noroccidente de Pichincha. La reserva forma parte de la IBA Mashpi-Pachijal, del ACUS Subcuenca Río Pachijal y de la reserva de biosfera del Chocó Andino. Hasta la actualidad, se han registrado 279 especies de aves en la reserva. Por su gran diversidad en avifauna, inicié un proyecto de anilla...

Ecuador has the highest density of bird species of any country in the world. Yet avian research, especially demographical studies, are scarce and there are many challenges that limit the development of a coordinated country-wide program. The lack of a national banding scheme is a major obstacle. Little is known on molt patterns and molt strategies...

A major barrier to advancing ornithology is the systemic exclusion of professionals from the Global South. A recent special feature, Advances in Neotropical Ornithology, and a shortfalls analysis therein, unintentionally followed a long-standing pattern of highlighting individuals, knowledge, and views from the Global North, while largely omitting...

Abundancia, riqueza de especies y diversidad de gasterópodos terrestres en la reserva Un poco del Chocó

Boasting with 1640 bird species, Ecuador is known worldwide for its high diversity in bird species. But despite the high species richness and endangerment of its avian fauna, ornithological research in Ecuador is still scarce. Especially certain biogeographic regions, like the humid forests of the Ecuadorian Chocó, are very poorly documented. One o...

Comparing the beta-diversity of hummingbird-plant interactions between four sites in northwestern Pichincha, Ecuador, within the project EPHI (Ecology of plant and hummingbird interactions)

Since years ecological studies in tropical montane forests are focusing on the interactions between hummingbirds and their food plants as they are of central interest for this ecosystem. Up to now it has not been studied which influence rarity has on the pollination of the food plants. Studies of intraspecific differences in density have shown that...
