Demography and Populations
Introduction
There is no information related to topics such as age at first breeding, life span and survivorship, dispersal, or population regulation.
Measures of Breeding Activity
Age at First Breeding
Information needed.
Annual and Lifetime Reproductive Success
One study found a 74% nest success rate in Chiloé temperate rainforest and 0.009 ± 0.004 daily nest mortality in Chiloé National Park, compared to 0.008 ± 0.002 in forest fragments (n = 47) (17). The same study also found 61% success rate of fledged juveniles (n = 21 successful nests), from both continuous and fragmented forest (17).
Life Span and Survivorship
Information needed.
Disease and Body Parasites
Information needed.
Causes of Mortality
Predation may be higher in habitat fragments than in continuous habitat (17).
Population Spatial Metrics
Very little information. Highly local and usually in low densities due to its highly territorial behavior, so it is common to see/hear only one or two individuals using a patch of suitable habitat.
Population Status
The global population of Magellanic Tapaculo has not been estimated. According to BirdLife International, population trends are unknown (67). The bird has disappeared from islands such as the Falklands, and it has experienced habitat loss due to urbanization, so populations may be declining.
Population Regulation
Information needed.
