This species was considered a PCE endemic, but there is now a single recent record south of the São Francisco river in Sergipe outside of the PCE which may be a vagrant individual – perhaps unsurprising as a river is unlikely to form a major barrier for a large soaring forest raptor. We recorded this species from another 16 sites in Pernambuco, Alagoas and Paraíba states (Table 2). This series of new records (including the first for the state of Paraíba) suggests that this species is more widespread in the PCE than formerly thought. The persistence of some individuals in small and degraded forest fragments (and likely an ability to move between different forest patches) coupled with an apparent absence of hunting pressure, suggest a degree of resilience to land-use change in the region, although quantitative studies should be undertaken to assess this assumption. Nevertheless, we suggest that this species also ought to be the target of a captive breeding program given the relative ease at which raptors can be maintained and bred in captivity.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03C08790FFD40367FD33FF40F7C14B02	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

There have been no subsequent sightings by ornithologists in the region and semi-structured interviews with local people living around suitable forest fragments failed to indicate any recent sightings (Silveira et al., 2004, GAP unpublished data). However, prior to this species’ extinction in the wild, a few individuals were captured and a captive breeding program was launched. This program is now composed of both hybrids (with Razor-billed Currasow Pauxi tuberosa) and pure-bred individuals, and is currently run by two aviculturists in Minas Gerais, Brazil (see Silveira et al., 2004). This captive population, now numbering over 100 pure-bred individuals, is subject to genetic management (Francisco et al., in prep.) with a reintroduction program scheduled to start in 2015 in Alagoas.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03C08790FFD40367FF79FD8FF1A44A22	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

(2003a) finding this parrotlet in 5 of 15 surveyed forest fragments (Fig. 3). Our fieldwork produced additional records from 13 localities in Pernambuco, Paraíba and Alagoas (Table 2). As with the preceding species, this parrotlet may be preadapt- ed to life in fragmented landscapes as these and other psittacids have to track spatio-temporally variable fruit resources (e.g., Lees &amp; Peres, 2009). Parrotlets in the genus Touit have very poor survivorship in captivity and are thus not highly sought after by bird traffickers (Collar, 2000). A pair was observed attending a nest in an arboreal termitarium in the RPPN Fazenda Pacatuba, municipality of Sapé, Paraíba. The preference for nesting in arboreal termitaria frees members of this genus from dependence on tree hollows, required by many parrot species.These may be a population-limiting factor in degraded and regenerating forests with few large old trees (e.g., Cockle et al., 2010).</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03C08790FFD40367FD33FBCFF7A04842	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Like Philydor novaesi it is only known from Murici and RPPN Frei Caneca and was apparently a specialist in foraging in arboreal bromeliads. Mazar-Barnett &amp; Buzzetti (2014) suggest that it should be listed as Critically Endangered both nationally and internationally. Realistically however this species is also likely extinct, there have been no records from other sites in the region and the last records from Frei Caneca were obtained in February 2005 (D. Buzzetti: XC#180936) and the last records from Murici was in April 2007 (D. Buzzetti: XC#180893). The disappearance of these two Furnarids and the Glaucidium pygmy-owl represent the first evidence for extinctions of endemic Brazilian birds in modern times.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03C08790FFD50365FD55FBE0F2424D42	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Since its description, the species has been extensively sought-after by many different fieldworkers in forest fragments across the PCE using playback of the single vocal sample available (see Roda &amp; Pereira, 2006; Roda et al., 2011). These searches have resulted in just one subsequent undocumented sight record of a single bird observed at Usina Trapiche in November 2001 (Silva et al., 2002). Our own playbacks elicited a mobbing response in small passerines (e.g., Red-headed Manakin Ceratopipra rubrocapilla, Olivaceous Woodcreeper Sittasomus griseicapillus, Variable Oriole Icterus pyrrhopterus) at Engenho Cachoeira Linda, Mata do Roncadorzinho, and other fragments e.g., the Usina Trapiche (Mata do Dêra, Mata do Sá and Engenho Jaguaré) which we may interpret as evidence of the historic occurrence of G. mooreorum in these localities. Given the absence of records for a minimum period of 12 years, we consider that this species may be potentially extinct. Galileu Coelho (pers. comm.) regularly heard one or more individuals of this species singing near the main house of the Saltinho research station until the start of the 1990’s. Pygmy-owls belonging to the Glaucidium minutissimum species complex (which also includes G. hardyi) (Marks et al., 1999) occur at low densities in well-preserved forest physiognomies, so there is now very little suitable habitat left for this species in the PCE. However, there are several precedents for the rediscovery of cryptic night birds (e.g., Halleux &amp; Goodman, 1994; King &amp; Rasmussen, 1998) and we encourage observers to keep looking, just in case.</p> <p>Philydor novaesi Teixeira &amp; Gonzaga, 1983, Alagoas Foliage-gleaner (IUCN and MMA: CR)</p> <p>Discovered at Murici, Alagoas in 1979 (Teixeira &amp; Gonzaga, 1983), this species has only ever been found at this type locality and the RPPN Frei Caneca, Pernambuco (Roda, 2008; Roda et al., 2011, Fig. 5). This is one of the most highly sought-after species (by both visiting birders and professional ornithologists alike), and ourselves and others have searched extensively for this species in forest fragments across the PCE (even in forest patches outside of the ‘known’altitudinal range) but with no success. Playback of vocalisations of the Alagoas Foliage-gleaner – a nuclear species in mixed-species flocks (acting to aggregate, and orientate other flock members), attracted facultative flock-following heterospecifics (Mazar-Barnett et al., 2005; Roda, 2008; Roda et al., 2011), such as the Long-billed Gnatwren Ramphocaenus melanurus (at Murici and Bonito), Rufous-winged Antwren Herpsilochmus rufimarginatus and White-flanked Antwren Myrmotherula axillaris (at Mata do Estado). We interpret the reaction of these flock-following species as expressing interest in joining a flock and evidence for the historic occurrence of this species at Mata do Estado, Engenho Água Azul, Bonito and Gravatá. This species was last recorded from Murici in 2007 (sound-recording in Minns et al., 2009 and image here: http://ibc.lynxeds. com/photo/alagoas-foliage-gleaner-philydor-novaesi/ perched-adult) and last recorded from Frei Caneca in September 2011 (CA, video-recording) despite subsequent intensive searches at both these localities. Along with Pernambuco Pygmy-owl, we consider the Alagoas Foliage-gleaner likely extinct following forest loss, fragmentation and degradation. The disappearance of these species represent the first evidence for extinctions of endemic Brazilian birds in modern times (see Lees et al., 2014a).</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03C08790FFD50366FFA3FF40F0E74CE2	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

(2011) reported this PCE endemic in 14 forest fragments in upland forest (between 300 and 700 m asl) in the states of Pernambuco and Alagoas. Albano (2009) also reported this species in lowland forest (c. 80 m asl) at Usina Trapiche. We add two new localities in Pernambuco (Table 2, Fig. 7). This species is typically seen accompanying mixed-species flocks: at the Parque Natural Municipal Mucuri-Himalaya it was observed foraging with Veniliornis sp., Sittasomus griseicapillus, Herpsilochmus atricapillus, Phylloscartes ceciliae, Basileuterus culicivorus and Lanio cristatus, and at the Engenho Brejão was observed in a mixed species flock including Myrmotherula axillaris, Herpsilochmus atricapillus and Phylloscartes ceciliae. This species is still recorded with some frequency at the Mata do Estado and Engenho Água Azul (GAP), and six territories were located at the 630 ha RPPN Frei Caneca in November 2012 (ACL: WA#814109, XC#113530; November/2012). It has apparently declined to a handful of pairs (perhaps now a single pair) at the ESEC Murici, Alagoas (Albano 2009, A. Whittaker pers. comm.). The causes of this nearextinction at the latter site are unknown, but given that the ESEC Murici is the largest remaining forest patchin the PCE this is a very worrying trend, and we consider that this species now qualifies for Critically Endangered status based on a total population now estimated at fewer than 250 mature individuals in a few disparate forest fragments.</p> <p>Xipholena atropurpurea (Wied, 1820), White-winged Cotinga (IUCN and MMA: EN)</p> <p>Restricted to primary lowland and adjacent foothill Atlantic forest (up to 900 m asl), between Paraíba and Rio de Janeiro (Snow, 2004), it has been reported from 13 protected areas (BirdLife International, 2013).

(2003a). We found this species in another four sites in Pernambuco (Table 2, Fig. 9). Although still highly imperilled, this species’ conservation prospects are slightly brighter than those of the other four ‘Murici endemics’ – Philydor novaesi, Cichlocolaptes mazarbarnetti, Myrmotherula snowi and Terenura sicki, occurring in more forest patches albeit always at low densities (Fig. 3).</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03C08790FFD70364FD55FD40F0D54B62	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The pre-Columbian habitat of Forbe’s Blackird in PCE is not known. Most of our records came from forest edges associated with sugar cane plantations, with many nests were found in mango trees, near houses. Autecological studies are needed to understand the ecology of this species in anthropogenic landscapes.

Of the endemic and threatened birds of the PCE, this tanager is among the most tolerant to habitat disturbance, occupying forest edges and orchards where breeding behaviour has been observed (Fig. 3, Silveira et al., 2003b). Capture for the illegal bird trade remains a threat, with individuals traded in illegal street markets around Recife, Pernambuco between June 2000 and June 2005, and between August 2010 and April 2011 (Pereira &amp; Brito, 2005; Regueira &amp; Bernard, 2012).</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03C08790FFD70363FD55F96FF24D4CE2	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
