Boissonneaua jardini

NOTES

To elaborate our model we removed uncertain localities such as those localities with no coordinates and all records with coordinates laying down in sites with estimated elevations below 350 m and above 2,882 m. Also four records in BioMap from Tolima, Caqueta, Vichada and Guainia, which represent corrupted information in the database were deleted before modelling.

The habitat suitability model generated in Maxent showed areas suitable in climatic terms for this species along the Central Andes and in the western slope of the Eastern Andes, as well as in serrania del Baudo. Except the most northern part of the Central Andes, those areas are not known to be occupied by the species and were excluded from the potential distribution map of this hummingbird.

Assuming that the distribution of the species may have filled the complete climatic model generated, its distribution today in remnants of forest is about 13,519 km2, which corresponds to a loss of 59 % of its potential original distribution due to deforestation.

This near-endemic species has been catalogued by BirdLife International (2016) as of Low Concern (LC) because it is believed it does not approach to the thresholds of Vulnerable (VU) according to the range size, population trend or population size criterion. It is considered to be locally uncommon to common (McMullan & Donegan 2014, HBW Alive 2016) and its extent of occurrence has been estimated in 35,400 km2 (BirdLife International 2016). Our maps suggest its extent of occurrence just in Colombia is about 32,882 km2, which is greater than considered by other authors previously and includes some areas from where has been recently known in the northern central Andes. 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. Nonetheless, forest degradation and fragmentation continues along its potential range and therefore we believe it must be considered as Near Threatened (NT) at national level in Colombia and globally.
