Phaethornis griseogularis

NOTES

To elaborate our model we removed uncertain localities such as 'Bogota skins' and all records with coordinates laying down in sites with estimated elevations off the range 240-1,600 m. Also three records in BioMap from Norte de Santander and one record in DatAves from Amazonas that may represent range extensions but need confirmation (particularly that from DatAves) were removed before modelling. Also one record in ProAves from Santander and another in DatAves from Magdalena that may represent corrupted data (particularly that from DatAves), were removed previously to modelling. A further record in BioMap from Carimagua (Meta) in the Delaware Museum of Natural History was apparently assigned by mistake to this species, the data is corrupted and was removed before modelling.

The habitat suitability model generated in Maxent showed areas suitable in climatic terms for this species in several areas west of the Andes in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, Serrania del Perija and to the west of them; particularly in the northern Central Andes. These areas are not known to be occupied by the species and were excluded from the potential distribution map. Interestingly, areas in Norte de Santander not included to train the model were predicted as potential areas of occurrence of this species, they were included in our final distribution map of the species.

Assuming that the distribution of the species may have filled the complete climatic model generated, its distribution today in remnants of forest is about 28,731 km2, which corresponds to a loss of 55 % of its potential original distribution due to deforestation in Colombia.
