One thought on “New Georgia Dwarf-kingfisher (Ceyx collectoris)”
Remote-sensing analysis of rates of deforestation overlook degradation from logging which has been very high in the species’ range and continues. The only data that I can find on relative abundances in primary and logged forest are from Buckingham et al who found almost identical densities in primary and logged lowland forest. However, the increasing intensity of logging is likely to have rendered large areas unsuitable and also silted many creeks so I believe that there is a significant ongoing rate of decline. I don’t believe that it comes close to the criteria for population fragmentation or fluctuations.
