Abstract A major barrier to advancing ornithology is the systemic exclusion of professionals from Global South. recent special feature, Advances in Neotropical Ornithology, and a shortfalls analysis therein, unintentionally followed long-standing pattern highlighting individuals, knowledge, views North, while largely omitting perspectives people based within Neotropics. Here, we review current strengths opportunities practice ornithology. Further, discuss problems with assessing state...
The United Nations sustainable development goals (SDGs) provide an ambitious and comprehensive framework for addressing the needs on a global, regional, national scale. In order SDG targets to be obtainable, diverse stakeholders need technical, institutional, organizational capacity implement wide variety of initiatives covered under these goals. Inspired by 2016 workshop, this article synthesizes capacity-building themes strategies following approaches development, specifically related...
Abstract Global-scope scientific journals have played an important role in upholding a colonial legacy of north-south inequities ornithology, and they now key to play increasing equity publishing. We explore common barriers faced by ornithologists the Neotropics (Latin America Caribbean) suggest priority actions that Ornithological Applications, Ornithology, other global-scope ornithological can take increase publication research uptake. Among most problems, we identified (1) restrictive...
Migratory behavior can be an important factor in determining contaminant exposure avian populations. Accumulation of organochlorine (OC) pesticides while birds are wintering tropical regions has been cited often as the reason for high concentrations migrant To explore this issue, we satellite tracked 16 Ospreys (Pandion haliaetus) over period 1996–2003 from breeding sites British Columbia, Canada, and integrated results into a database on 15 that were 1995–1999, locations Washington Oregon,...
Tropical Montane Cloud Forests (TMCFs) are among the vegetation types facing greatest threats, both globally and in Mexico. Ecological restoration of TMCFs is a priority several tropical countries. In this paper, we propose that based on applied nucleation methods should be accompanied by set additional mechanisms form six‐prong strategy. our experience, essential tools to ensure positive results composed (1) diagnostic‐prescriptive stage; (2) species selection nursery management native for...
Amazonian bird species often have patchy spatial distributions, and previous work has attributed this pattern to habitat specialization dispersal limitation; however, we know comparatively little about the origins maintenance of isolated populations that constitute a distribution. In study, ask whether are interconnected by dispersal. We formulated 2 alternative hypotheses: (1) relicts ancient connectivity or dispersal; (2) centers local abundance embedded in matrix contemporary diffuse...
A major barrier to advancing ornithology is the systemic exclusion of professionals from Global South. recent special dossier, Advances in Neotropical Ornithology, and a shortfalls analysis therein, unintentionally followed long-standing pattern highlighting individuals, knowledge, views North, while largely omitting perspectives people based within Neotropics. Here, we review problems with assessing state through northern lens, including discovery narratives, incomplete (and biased)...
Summary Continental-scale bird population estimates are used as a decision-support tool in conservation plans. The calculation of these includes the use density values and survey data from one or multiple sources extrapolated to geographic scale interest. In this paper, we migration count monitoring project Veracruz, Mexico, revise existing North American seven species waterbirds, New World vultures, diurnal raptors. two suggest that low propose mechanism correct figures. remaining five...
Abstract In the frugivory networks of many arid and semi‐arid Mesoamerican ecosystems, columnar cacti act as keystone species that produce fruits with a high content water nutrients attractive to numerous vertebrates. The aim this investigation was assess fruit removal patterns two guilds frugivores on woolly torch Pilosocereus leucocephalus . We assessed pulp in ways: by estimating consumption seeds given amount removed per visit percentage over time. put exclosures unripe, intact keep from...
Abstract Frugivory networks exhibit a set of properties characterized by number network theory‐derived metrics. Their structures often form deterministic patterns that can be explained the functional roles interacting species. Although we know lots about how these are organized when ecosystems in complete, condition, much less incomplete and simplified (such as those found urban periurban parks) organized, which features maintained, ones not, why. In this paper, examine between frugivorous...
Los censos durante la migración han sido utilizados como una herramienta válida para determinar estatus poblacionales de aves rapaces. En Veracruz, México, éstos tienen posibilidad generar valiosa información sobre poblaciones a escala regional y continental, proveer cobertura aquellas que no son estudiadas en otros sitios. objetivos este trabajo evaluar el uso los Veracruz seguimiento poblaciones, documentar ajustes hechos un método análisis existente hacerlo apropiado las propiedades...
I briefly review the use of passive and active voices in scientific writing formulate an argument favor voice’s use. provide fictitious examples each narrative type make a side-by-side comparison. Each style has advantages disadvantages. Papers written voice are concise clear, although they also considered colloquial unsophisticated. Those voice, turn, centered on actions – rather than individuals perceived as more objective but can be ambiguous pompous. conclude this essay by noting that...
Summary We present the first study of spatial and temporal dynamics raptors large soaring birds from Isthmus Tehuantepec, Mexico. Using systematic migration counts multiple localities in southern states Oaxaca Chiapas, as well observations their flight trajectories during eight consecutive years (2007–2014), we describe magnitude these movements, geographic extent, phenology most abundant species both spring fall seasons. The were Turkey Vulture Cathartes aura , Swainson’s Hawk Buteo...
We present a simple method to use birds assess and track the restoration of Tropical Montane Cloud Forests using as indicator species. The is composed three pieces: classification disturbance phases, collection species- assembly-level bird data, matching these two data sets understand its relationships. were able select species resident Neotropical migrants exclusively associated each four habitat well some characteristics at assembly level that help condition habitats, prescribe...
In frugivory networks, birds offer plants the advantage of dispersing their seeds away from parent in exchange for macronutrients, primarily sugars, and water. The benefits are clear, as they obtain food water fruits, highly variable plants, may act ways that vary effective dispersers to seed predators. We studied two common species interact frequently network a Neotropical, periurban park: clay-colored thrush ( Turdus grayi) nightshade Witheringia stramoniifolia), order evaluate passing its...
