DescriptionCauca River Canyon - home of the new wren Thryophilus sernai (Cucarachero Paisa) (7241470126).jpg
Seasonally Dry Tropical Forests are patchily distributed and in peril. In Antioquia, this inter-Andean valley is a narrow canyon bounded by the humid slopes of the Andean cordilleras and enclosed by the belt of lowland humid rainforests of the Lower Cauca-Nechí "refuge". Increasing landscape change and a forthcoming massive flooding for a hydroelectric dam (Pescadero-Ituango) threaten the poorly known biota of this canyon, including a rare, new bird species that is endemic to it, just discovered by a team led by Carlos Esteban Lara and with the collaboration of Sandra V. Valderrama Ortiz, Diego Calderón, Daniel Cadena, and me. (Auk 129:537–550; for a PDF click: www.museum.lsu.edu/cuervo/pubs_files/Thryophilus.sernai_A...).
