Patagona gigas

NOTES

To elaborate our model we produced four pseudoreplicas of the only point locality we found for this species in the country in Cotinga 10 (1998). The new points were located at approximate 1.5-2 km south, west, north and east from the original locality.

The habitat suitability model generated in Maxent showed a small area suitable in climatic terms for this species in central Boyaca in the central-northern Eastern Andes. Areas not near Ipiales were excluded from the potential distribution map of this hummingbird.

This species has a big geographical range that has been estimated in 3,690,000 km2 and Colombia represents the outskirts of its distribution to the north. It is not known if it is present in the country seasonally and its general ecology in the country is poorly known. It needs further research to know better is distribution in Colombia and ecology, equally it needs some attention in conservation if it is intended to be preserved in the country.
