Eriocnemis derbyi

NOTES

To elaborate our model we removed uncertain localities such as 'Bogota skins', those localities with no coordinates and all records with coordinates laying down in sites with estimated elevations below 2,400 m and above 3,870 m. Also one record in BioMap from Cundinamarca, which represents corrupted information in the database was deleted.

The habitat suitability model generated in Maxent showed areas suitable in climatic terms for this species along the Western Andes and in the southern half of the Eastern Andes. Those areas are not known to be occupied by the species and were excluded from the potential distribution map of this hummingbird. Exception the area near Jardin (Antioquia) from where there is one known record (correct?, corrupted?).

Assuming that the distribution of the species may have filled the complete climatic model generated, its distribution today in remnants of forest is about 7,815 km², which corresponds to a loss of 70 % of its potential original distribution due to deforestation.

This near-endemic species has been catalogued by BirdLife International (2016) as Near Threatened (NT) because it is believed it has a moderately small range that has shrunk due to habitat loss. It extent of occurrence has been estimated in 24,500 km² (BirdLife International 2016). Our maps suggest its extent of occurrence just in Colombia is about 26,459 km². However, forested areas have been severely degraded in is potential original geographical distribution as our analyses suggest. Giving that the species uses border and secondary habitats possibly its populations have not been greatly affected.
