Range extension of the known distribution of the Black-backed Grosbeak, Pheucticus aureoventris (Passeriformes: Cardinalidae) in Brazil, with the first records for the states of Rondônia, Amazonas and Goiás
We present the first records of Pheucticus aureoventris from the states of Rondônia, Amazonas and Goiás in Brazil, which significantly expand the species’ known range into central South America and Amazonia. Previously, P. aureoventris was known only as an austral migrant to semi-open areas in south...

We present the first records of Pheucticus aureoventris from the states of Rondônia, Amazonas and Goiás in Brazil, which significantly expand the species’ known range into central South America and Amazonia. Previously, P. aureoventris was known only as an austral migrant to semi-open areas in south-western Brazil. We hypothesize that deforestation (creating additional open habitats) and an increase in the number of ornithologists surveying poorly sampled regions, may be related to the range extension of P. aureoventris in Brazil. |
