On dendrocincla tyrannina: Morphology, behavior and conservation of a shy lek-type insectivore
The Tyrannine Woodcreeper (Dendrocincla tyrannina, Dendrocolaptidae) of northern Andean cloud forests is solitary, like the rest of the genus, and wanders in the epiphyte-laden forest understory, depending partly on hard-to-find swarms of army ants and on understory flocks to flush insects. It is wary and silent, hiding after flying short distan ces for prey or gleaning it from moss or trunks. As los s of sleep Andean wet forests where the woodcreepers live resulls in gretaer danger from earthquakes, study and tourism are preferable to settlements.

El trepatroncos tiranino o "churulo" (Dendrocincla tyrannina, Dendrocolaptidae) de los bosques de neblina del norte de los Andes es solitario, como las otras especies del género. Se desplaza en el sotobosque lleno de epífitas, dependiendo parcialmente de los insectos que huyen de los escasos ejércitos de hormigas. Es un ave silenciosa y arisca, que se esconde después de volar cortas distancias en busca de presas, o procurándolas en musgos o troncos. La pérdida de los bosques húmedos andinos de laderas abruptas para dar lugar a la ganadería de baja productividad amenaza a la especie y aumenta el peligro de derrumbes en áreas sujetos a temblores; el uso más apropiado para tales áreas es para estudios científicos y actividades turísticas, y no para asentamientos permanentes Universidad Nacional de Colombia - Sede Bogotá - Facultad de Ciencias - Instituto de Ciencias Naturales 1995-07-01 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf https://revistas.unal.edu.co/index.php/cal/article/view/17348 Caldasia; Vol. 18 No. 86 (1995); 131-140 Caldasia; Vol. 18 Núm. 86 (1995); 131-140 2357-3759 0366-5232 spa https://revistas.unal.edu.co/index.php/cal/article/view/17348/18185 Derechos de autor 1995 Caldasia https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 |
