Range expansion and noteworthy records of Costa Rican birds (Aves)

Abstract: We present new distribution information for 19 species of Costa Rican birds. Thirteen species show changes in altitudinal distribution, 9 are recorded at higher elevations such as Egretta rufescens (Gmelin, 1789), Heliomaster constantii (Delattre, 1843), Myiozetetes cayanensis (Linnaeus, 1766), and Lonchura malacca (Linnaeus, 1766), and 4 are recorded at lower elevations,

“…In recent years, numerous cases of latitudinal, longitudinal, and altitudinal movements of waterbirds have been reported, both in Ecuador [58,79,80] and in the Neotropics [55]. The movements of these species may be influenced by different events, such as the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon [81], the pollution of natural wetlands, or the disappearance and appearance of new artificial bodies of water [82]. The only terrestrial species classified as a change of distribution is the White-tailed Kite (Elanus lecurus), a raptor that is benefiting from deforestation in the Tumbesian region [83] and is expanding its range to the south, along the Pacific coast.…”

“…Although the reason for this recent range expansion is currently unknown, we speculate that anthropogenic disturbances such as land-cover changes and climate change are likely important factors to consider. Indeed, a growing number of studies have also associated range expansion in Neotropical birds with these factors in both lowland and montane species (Sandoval et al 2017;Freeman et al 2018). Thus, the detailed collection and publications of sighting records of the Gray-capped Cuckoo throughout the region will be crucial to test this possibility.…”

“…Por lo tanto, se hace necesario un mayor esfuerzo en el reconocimiento y la efectiva identificación de los taxones de este grupo, del cual se sabe que ha radiado en cientos de especies desde el mioceno (Futuyma 1997;Chaves et al 2008;Harvey et al 2020). Por su parte, el complejo M. cayanensis ha sido estudiado en diversas áreas de la biología como la ecología reproductiva, estrategias de forrajeo, anidamiento, morfología general, comportamiento agonístico, ectoparásitos, uso del hábitat, historia natural y distribución, entre otros (Haverschmidt 1971;McKitrick 1985;Cruz y Andrews 1989;Dyrcz 1991Dyrcz , 2002Davis 1993;Rowlett 2003;Price et al 2005;Screnci-Ribeiro y Duca 2010;Watson 2012;Smith et al 2014b;Sandoval et al 2018), pero poco se conoce sobre el estatus taxonómico de sus poblaciones actuales. Debido a su gran similitud, M. cayanensis es usualmente confundido con M. similis en las listas de registro, lo cual crea ruido en los registros actuales de distribución y abundancia.…”
