Phaethornis longirostris

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 above 2,154 m.

The habitat suitability model generated in Maxent showed a very few areas suitable in climatic terms for this species in the high Cauca and Magdalena valleys and towards extreme southwest Colombia. Also a very few areas far southeast near Leticia (Amazonas). These 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 92,693 km2, which corresponds to a loss of 65 % of its potential original distribution due to deforestation. This species favours edges and secondary vegetation, although it is found more frequently inside forest than Phaethornis anthophilus, and therefore possibly deforestation has not negatively affected greatly its populations. However, it is important to note that subspecies susurrus is restricted to Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta and Perija, and its conservation depends mainly on the actions taken in Colombia north of the country, and area that has been heavily deforested.
