inca broncíneo

Un gran y robusto colibrí de los bosques nubosos andinos y bordes forestales desde Venezuela hasta Bolivia; los incas bronceados muestran un brillante plumaje bronce-verde con una garganta verde iridiscente y una mancha blanca distintiva en el pecho. Habitan elevaciones entre 900–2.800 metros y son defensores agresivos de parches de flores. Los incas bronceados son traplineroes, siguiendo rutas regulares a lo largo de corredores de plantas en flor en lugar de defender un único territorio. Catalogados como Preocupación Menor con poblaciones estables.

Cliff Mining Bee

The Cliff Mining Bee, Andrena species in the family Andrenidae, is a solitary ground-nesting bee that excavates tunnels in cliff faces, earthen banks, and compacted sandy or loamy soils, where the loose or friable substrates exposed in cliff profiles provide ideal nesting conditions. Mining bees in the genus Andrena are among the most species-rich solitary bee genera in the world, with hundreds of species across the Holarctic region, many narrowly specialized in their choice of pollen host plants. Female cliff mining bees construct vertical or angled burrows in cliff faces, with lateral cells off the main shaft, each containing a pollen ball and a single egg. Males are typically smaller and emerge before females to establish territories near nesting sites. Many Andrena species are oligolectic, collecting pollen from only a small number of plant species, making their populations sensitive to the availability of specific flowering plants in the landscape surrounding nesting areas. Cliff and bank nesting habitats provide well-drained, sun-warmed substrates essential for brood development. The loss of natural cliff faces and earthen banks to development, vegetation succession, and quarrying reduces available nesting habitat for cliff mining bees.
