Habitat Barriers to Movement of Understory Birds in Fragmented South-Temperate Rainforest

Resumen

docarpus National Park in southern Ecuador (ca. 100 km north of Angashcola), where recent records of S. cinctus derive (Bloch et al. 1991), and the Reserva del Alto Quindio Acaime/Los Nevados National Park/ Ucumari Regional Park complex in Colombia. Other potentially viable populations of S. cinctus in Ecuador probably occur within Sangay National Park (Chimborazo/Morona-Santiago) and the Cayambe/Coca Ecological Reserve (R. S. Ridgely pers. comm.). Stringent protection of these areas should be strongly supported. Acknowledgments.-Sponsors of the Amaluza expeditions are listed in Williams and Tobias (1994), and to these we are indebted. We also thank: Paul Atkinson, Thomas Brooks, Robert Clay, Robert Ridgely, and Paul Salaman for reviewing the manuscript and providing ideas; Rodrigo Tapia-Castro (along with several members of Arcoiris) and David Espinosa for assistance in the field; and Nancy Hilgert de Benavides (with the staff of CECIA) for hospitality and help during our visits to Ecuador.
