Comprehensive inventory of páramo birds and their habitat affinities in a conservation hotspot, the Macizo del Cajas Biosphere Reserve, southern Ecuador
The páramo ecosystem is a significant centre of Andean bird diversity with high concentrations of threatened species. The Macizo del Cajas Biosphere Reserve’s páramos are a district of the biogeographic páramo province of northern Andes and are therefore considered a conservation hotspot with representative bird diversity. To enhance regional conservation efforts, comprehensive inventories of bird species that occupy this páramo are required. We present an updated bird inventory for the páramos of Macizo del Cajas and included validated records from eBird and GBIF databases along with records from continuous monitoring across this páramo landscape for five years. We also provide notes on habitat affinity and important new, rare, restricted range, and threatened birds. We report 112 bird species within the reserve, including five endemics, and three globally and 12 nationally threatened species. Finally, we discuss the use of habitat affinities as indicators of biodiversity patterns in páramo to improve conservation tools for key habitats.

El ecosistema de páramo es un centro importante de diversidad de aves andinas con altas concentraciones de especies amenazadas. Los páramos de la Reserva de la Biosfera Macizo del Cajas son un distrito biogeográfico de la provincia del páramo de los Andes del norte y por tanto, son un punto crítico de conservación con una diversidad de aves representativa. Inventarios exhaustivos de la avifauna que ocupa este páramo son requeridos para asegurar esfuerzos de conservación regional. El presente estudio brinda un inventario actualizado de aves de los páramos del Macizo del Cajas. Se incluyen registros verificados desde eBird y GBIF, así como registros de cinco años continuos de monitoreo a través del paisaje de páramo. Además, se incluyen notas acerca de la afinidad de hábitat y registros importantes, nuevos, raros y de aves amenazadas. En total, se reportan 112 especies de aves dentro de la reserva, incluyen cinco endémicas, tres globalmente amenazadas y 12 a escala nacional. Finalmente, se discute el uso de la afinidad de hábitat como indicador de los patrones de biodiversidad en el páramo para mejorar herramientas de conservación para hábitats clave.
