Silvopastures in Colombia: how do we enhance their value to conserve forest biodiversity?

By loiselleb@gmail.com| 2018-09-28T13:12:59+00:00 September 28th, 2018|birds, graduate students, TCD|

Bryan Tarbox suggests we can add conservation value to silvopastures by managing them to include certain tree species and microhabitats. These management techniques would improve habitat quality and likely attract and maintain forest species that occupy nearby forest remnants. This research just appeared in CONDOR as part of Bryan's PhD dissertation research in Luke [...]

Documenting display behavior of blue-backed manakins

By loiselleb@gmail.com| 2017-11-12T16:23:11+00:00 November 12th, 2017|Amazon, birds, Ecuador, lek, manakins, sexual selection|

As part of her MS thesis, Ghislaine Cardenas, co-advised by C. Daniel Cadena (Univ. de los Andes) and Bette Loiselle (Univ. Florida), described the display behavior, vocalizations, and social organization of the blue-backed manakin (Chiroxiphia pareola napensis) in Amazon of Ecuador at the Tiputini Biodiversity Station. Males of blue-backed manakins display cooperatively for females in [...]

Long-term study of manakins in its 17th year

By loiselleb@gmail.com| 2017-01-01T14:48:20+00:00 January 1st, 2017|Amazon, birds, ecology, Ecuador, manakins, research, sexual selection|

We began this long-term project on birds, with a particular focus on manakins (Aves: Pipridae) in January of 2001. The site - Tiputini Biodiversity Station in Yasuni Biosphere Reserve - is in western Amazonia and is arguably one of the most biodiverse-rich locations on the planet. The field station is operated by the Universidad San Francisco [...]
