Birds of the Man and Biosphere Reserve of Luki, Bas-Congo province, Democratic Republic of Congo

Abstract: The Democratic Republic of Congo holds the most diverse assemblage of birds in Africa. However, ornithological surveys in its network of reserves are rare. In this paper we pre-sent the first detailed list of birds from the Man and Biosphere Reserve of Luki in the country’s southwestern tip based on collected specimens, photographs, audio recordings, and direct observations from two surveys conducted in 2012–2013. We document a total of 136 species, including the threatened Psittacus erithacus. Range extension… Show more

“…To my knowledge, the specimens of nominate nitens from Ganda Sundi (04°52'S, 12°52'E), Kongo Central [= Lower Congo], in the coastal far west of DR Congo (Chapin 1953), remain the only ones from the country. Its continued presence in the region is implied by some relatively recent field observations (Ayer 2011, Liyandja et al 2015).…”

“…The latter results from information collected in a few provinces according to their accessibility. When extrapolated to the whole of this large country, local specificities of habitats have rarely been taken into account, such as forest type (Murhabale et al, 2021), savannah, miombos, climate, accessibility, anthropogenic activities (Kisasa, 2012 ;Liyandja et al, 2015), soil type (Kisasa & Aloni, 2011), and regulations on biodiversity management (Voelker et al, 2012). Monitoring the evolution of avian stands over time thus becomes a challenging and complex task in these large ecosystems.…”
