About this Page

The EcoChart is a pie chart showing the relative likelihood of observing particular other species commonly observed near Accipiter collaris. Likelhood considers both the frequency with which Accipiter collaris is observed at all locations where it has been reported, and the number of observations of all other species at each of those locations. A species that is common where Accipiter collaris is common will have a higher score than if only one of these species is common at that location.
The Top Species lists enumerate those species most commonly observed near Accipiter collaris.
While the chart, lists, and wheel are empirically based on observations, observations favor some phyla over others. Typically Bacteria, Fungi, Protozoa, and Arthropods are more common in the field than in our records.
In the section Characteristics of Habitat, we make some habitat inferences based on the known habitat preferences of those species most commonly associated with Accipiter collaris.

Characteristics of Habitat

Range and Population:

Accipiter collaris is known from a few localities on the west and east slopes of the Andes from south-west Venezuela (Mérida, Táchira), through Colombia and Ecuador, with a recent range extension of 1,500 km to south Peru⁵. It occurs in forest and forest edge, mostly subtropical and moist or wet, at 1,700-1,950 m in Peru² and at 600-1,800 m in Colombia^3,5. Although occasionally relatively abundant^1,5, it is usually rare and highly sensitive to human disturbance⁴.[1]
