“…Previously known on the Panamanian side of Cerro Tacarcuna and Cerro Malí (1,060 m; Wetmore 1972, Ridgely & Gwynne 1989. In Colombia, this little-known bird has been recorded recently in the West Andes (Cuervo et al 2003), Central Andes (Salaman et al 2002, Cuervo et al 2008a and Serranía de San Lucas (Donegan 2012b), with historical records in the East Andes in dpto. Santander (Hilty & Brown 1986).…”

“…The Andes probably achieves its greatest geomorphological complexity in Colombia ( Cediel et al 2003 ), where the main range of the Andes coming from Ecuador branches off into three ranges (i.e., Cordillera Occidental, Cordillera Central, and Cordillera Oriental) that are separated by deep inter-Andean valleys (i.e., Cauca and Magdalena) ( Kattan et al 2004 ). Among these three main ranges, the north of Cordillera Central is of particular biogeographic interest, not only because of its high levels of species richness and endemism in vertebrates ( Cuervo et al 2008a ) and plants ( Callejas et al 2005 ), but also because elements from several other biogeographic areas (e.g., Choc ó , Central America, and inter-Andean valleys) converge in this region ( Cuervo et al 2008b ). Although the northern Andes have long been recognized as an important biogeographic area ( Chapman 1917 ), such interesting biogeographic patterns have been recently refined by intense fieldwork conducted in this region for groups such as birds, frogs, and reptiles, which have resulted in the description of nine new endemic vertebrates in merely a decade: two species of birds ( Cuervo et al 2001, Cuervo et al 2005, three snakes ( Passos et al 2009 ), one lizard ( Velasco et al 2010 ), and three frogs ( Bravo-Valencia and Rivera-Correa 2011 , Rivera-Correa and Guti é rrez-C á rdenas 2012 , Rivera-Correa and Faivovich 2013 ).…”

On the basis of our recent fieldwork and historical records, we document the diversity of small non-volant mammals in the northern end of Cordillera Central of Colombia, an important region in the context of vertebrate biodiversity. From February 2004 to February 2006, we completed mammal surveys in three localities at the department of Antioquia, with elevations ranging from 1650 to 2000 m. We recorded a total of 14 species: three marsupials, one shrew, one heteromyid, and nine sigmodontinae rodents, including three species endemic in Cordillera Central. The rodents Heteromys australis , Nephelomys pectoralis , and Rhipidomys latimanus were recorded in all localities. Nephelomys pectoralis was captured in all surveys and was the most abundant species. Nearby historical records exist for 16 species, seven of which were not captured during our surveys. The community of small mammals in the northern Cordillera Central has species richness similar or higher than that in other Andean localities with a broader elevational range. We show that small mammal communities from middle elevations are a mixture of middle elevation endemics and highland species, but with little contribution from the lowlands. Finally, the occurrence of endemic and threatened species in this region suggests its importance from a conservational and biogeographical standpoint for small terrestrial mammals.

“…This species was previously recorded in the Cordillera Central on the western slope in the departments of Caldas and Risaralda and on the northern end of the Cordillera Central in Antioquia (Beltrán and Kattan 2001;Cuervo et al, 2008b). This forest thrush was mist-netted on May 2007 in disturbed forest at 2100 m on the Clarita Botero parte Alta.…”

The Totare River Basin is one of the largest and most important river basins in the Department of Tolima, Colombia. Despite its rich and diverse fauna, little is known about the bird species that inhabit this region. This study presents a list of birds compiled from field surveys along the river basin (from 270 to 3642 m a.s.l.) conducted between February and March 2007, plus a review of literature published so far, and complemented by opportunistic records during eight consecutive years. The checklist is comprised of 410 species, of which 11 are Colombian endemic, seven semi-endemic, 36 migratory, and 12 endangered species. Fourteen species are new records for the municipality of Ibagué, and 10 are new and noteworthy records from the east slope of the Cordillera Central. This checklist identifies as sites of conservation priority to Clarita Botero and Ambala.
