Phaethornis striigularis

NOTES

To elaborate our model we removed uncertain localities such as 'Bogota skins' and all records with coordinates laying down in sites with estimated elevations above 1,811 m. Also a record in BioMap from Buenavista (Meta), which clearly represents corrupted data, was removed previously to modelling.

The habitat suitability model generated in Maxent showed areas suitable in climatic terms for this species in a continuous belt along the eastern slope of the Eastern Anden from Arauca to the south, and a very few areas in the far east of Colombia. These areas are not known to be occupied by the species and were excluded from the potential distribution map.

Several specimens in collections from the area near the border with Panama have been identified as ssp subrufescens and not saturatus. Apparently saturatus has been assumed to be in Colombia because of an old specimen placed in the British Natural History Museum with locality ‘Colombia’ collected by R.J. Balston. This specimen well may come from Panama and not Colombia. The evidence suggests possibly ssp saturatus is not in Colombia, at most in the extreme NW Colombia may be an intergrading area between both subspecies, but so far there is no evidence pointing to this.

Assuming that the distribution of the species may have filled the complete climatic model generated, its distribution today in remnants of forest is about 116,342 km², which corresponds to a loss of 60 % of its potential original distribution due to deforestation in Colombia.
