Heliodoxa rubinoides

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 861 m and above 2,803 m.

The habitat suitability model generated in Maxent showed very good fit not showing suitable areas out of the main Andean Ranges. A very few pixels were predicted in serrania de San Lucas and the northern spurs of the Western Andes, those were left in the final potential map to inform, although must be considered areas where the species most likely does not occur.

Distribution of specimens according to BioMap suggest two zones of intergradation between subspecies rubinoides and aequatorialis. Both of them of at least 17,533 km2 in central Antioquia and from Quindio and Valle del Cauca towards the south to Nariño.

The literature points to the nominate subspecies as the one present in the Central Andes (HBW Alive 2016). Nonetheless, distribution of BioMap specimens shows that this is not certain at all. Most of the Western Andes and the Central Andes need collections to clarify better the boundaries between subspecies rubinoides and aequatorialis. Some authors have suggested that subspecies cervinigularis enters Colombia in the extreme southeast Andes (McMullan & Donegan 2014). Nonetheless, this is not likely since there are some collections confirming the presence of subspecies rubinoides.

Assuming that the distribution of the species may have filled the complete climatic model generated, its distribution today in remnants of forest is about 39,107 km2, which corresponds to a loss of 61 % of its potential original distribution due to deforestation.
