A new species of Campylopterus sabrewing is described from eastern Brazilian tropical dry forests occurring below 900 m asl. Its holotype (MZUSP 99024) is an adult female from Sítio Duboca (16°43'19''S, 43°58'20''W, elevation 840 m), municipality of Montes Claros, state of Minas Gerais. A taxonomic revision based on more than 1,000 museum specimens revealed that the new taxon, together with C. largipennis, C. diamantinensis and C. obscurus (with C. aequatorialis considered as a subjective…

First avifaunal survey of a Cerrado dry forest enclave on the right bank of the São Francisco River, Minas Gerais, Brazil, with insights on geographic variation of some species
Cerrado dry forest enclaves have been treated as an endemic bird area. In the last years, some avifaunal surveys have been conducted in dry forests on the left bank of the Sao Francisco River,…

Comparative Phylogeography of Birds Across the Tocantins–Araguaia Interfluve Reveals a New Biogeographic Suture in the Amazon Far East
TLDR
The scenario of phylogeographic breaks and population subdivision recovered herein along the Tocantins and Araguaia rivers, associated with the existence of contact zones and the occurrence of gene flow, define the TAI as hitherto unknown biogeographic suture zone, localized in southeasternmost Amazonia.

TLDR
The Dry-forest Sabrewing Campylopterus calcirupicola is a recently described species of hummingbird endemic to the seasonally dry forests of eastern Brazil and its nest is cup-shaped and built with plant down strengthened with arthropod silk, with abundant moss and some lichens on its exterior.

TLDR
Local occurrences and abundances seem to be the result of highly species-specific factors, and hence any general determinant of community structure may be obscured by specific reactions in such species-rich, heterogeneous and complex tropical rain-forest communities.

TLDR
The results identify numerous genetically and phenotypically divergent lineages which may result in new species-level designations upon closer taxonomic scrutiny and thorough sampling, although lineages in the tropical region could be older than those in the temperate zone without necessarily representing separate species.

TLDR
The stage is set to proactively redefine polytypic species to separate component species for the 21st century, which will better reflect phylogeny and evolutionary status, characterize biodiversity more accurately, guide improved sampling patterns of bird populations for systematic studies, and enable informed conservation decisions.
