“…Schubert et al . (2019) compared WikiAves occurrence records within the Brazilian state of Paraná with data from eBird and found temporally consistent occurrences between observation platforms for five migratory and four resident species. In addition, they found evidence that the Chivi Vireo Vireo chivi and the Blue‐black Grassquit Volatinia jacarina are probably migratory or partial migrants within Paraná (Schubert et al ., 2019).…”

“…Although the use of citizen science data in North America and Europe has outpaced other regions (Callaghan et al 2019), citizen science data have been used in South America to document single species distributions (Piana 2016, Hern andez et al 2019, Dom ınguez et al 2020, climate-driven range expansion (Hayes et al 2018), distribution of functional groups in urban areas (Guti errez-Tapia et al 2018), wintering range of a North American migrant (Klipp et al 2018), migratory pathways (Pollack-Vel asquez et al 2020) and drivers of bird-window collisions (Rebolo-Ifr an et al 2019) and to assess the potential impact of resource extraction on Neotropical migrants (Rodewald et al 2019). The comparative dearth of citizen science research can be attributed to the availability of less complete data (Callaghan et al 2019, La Sorte & Someveille 2020, necessitating the use of datasets in addition to eBird (Lees 2016, Schubert et al 2019.…”

The Common Potoo Nyctibius griseus is abundant, charismatic and generally considered to be sedentary across its range. Using citizen science data from eBird and WikiAves, we demonstrate that the Common Potoo may be a partial migrant whose breeding populations depart southeastern Brazil, Uruguay and northern Argentina in May to August during the region’s austral winter. MaxEnt models revealed that spatio‐temporal shifts in Common Potoo distributions were driven by seasonal changes in temperature and precipitation. We examined potential seasonal detection biases by restricting our analysis to daytime observations and testing for seasonally dependent shifts in distribution for two nocturnal non‐migratory species. Our results provide the first evidence of migration for any member of the family Nyctibiidae. Our approach exposes the potential value that WikiAves data offer towards elucidating seasonal movements of South American birds.

“…The technology now available greatly facilitates this process, in particular cell phones that can photographically document these events. Allied to the technology, citizen science ornithological platforms, such as eBird (www.ebird.org), iNaturalist (https://www.inaturalist.org/), Wikiaves (www.wikiaves.com.br), have experienced a recent expansion of functionalities and there are many users around the world including Brazil as well as all South America (Schubert et al 2019). These platforms provide a great contribution for the development of a bigger and more accurate database, particularly in poorly explored areas (e,g.…”

transatlantic Movement of Domestic PIGEONS Columba livia domestica

Historically, Domestic pigeon (Columba livia domestica Gmelin,1789) (Columbiformes, Columbidae) breeders use the species to promotes race competitions which over the time could select traits to increase the flight performance and spatial orientation capabilities. Although the species has remarkable navigational abilities, it is possible that these birds sometimes become disoriented pushing the individuals to fly off-course and over distances larger than usual. Here we report a Domestic Pigeon ringed in the Canary Islands (Spain) observed in the Abrolhos Archipelago, eastern Brazil, and compiled similar events (N = 5) in the Southwest Atlantic Ocean coast. Our results indicate that these events are largely unnoticed in the scientific literature as most of them were found in non-scientific newspaper and academic conferences, thus, untraceable from scientific databases as Scopus and Google Scholar. As domestic pigeons are possible intermediate hosts of diseases, we encourage the creation of a systematized database of this kind of movements of these birds, including the profile of these vagrants and the circumstances in which these events occur, which can be a basis to be used for scientists and decision makers.
