Abstract

This dataset is a compilation of field observations of birds during rapid biological inventories conducted by the Field Museum and in collaboration with indigenous and campesino people, NGOs, museums and universities, and government agencies. These data serve as a major resource for biodiversity and geographic distribution patterns. The collection of field observations holds unique ecological and conservation significance because biological inventories are conducted in concurrence with social inventories in remote, unknown areas, and the dataset includes observations of numerous rare species. The dataset is focused in the Andes-Amazon region in Peru and Colombia.

Note that the data provided in this resouce may also have been logged in eBird.

Project details

Project title: Rapid Inventories 1999 - present
Personnel: Douglas Stotz, Thomas Schulenberg, Carmen Quiroga, Lois Jammes, Debra Moskovits, John O'Neill, Daniel Lane, Thomas Valqui, Christian Albújar, Ruichang Quan, Zhengbo Li, Brian O'Shea, Johnny Condori, Romer Miserendino, Arturo Kirkconnell, Osmany González, John Fitzpatrick, Freddy Rodríguez Santana, Tatiana Pequeño, Jorge Flores Villar, Luis Melián Hernández, Andrew Farnsworth, Kenneth Rosenberg, Eduardo Iñigo-Elias, Gerardo Begué, Jose Rojas, Juan Díaz Alvan, Patricio Mena Valenzuela, Ernesto Ruelas Inzunza, Renzo Zeppilli, Percy Saboya del Castillo, Oscar Laverde, Juan Pablo López, Esteban Carrillo Chica, Wilmer Andrés Ramírez Riaño, Brayan Coral Jaramillo, Flor Ángela Peña Alzate, Fredy Queta Quenamá
Design description: Rapid inventories are expert surveys of remote forests. These inventories do not attempt to produce an exhaustive list of species or higher taxa. Rather, the surveys 1) identify the important biological communities in the site or region of interest, and 2) determine whether these communities are of outstanding quality and significance in a regional or global context.
