Abstract

Sylviorthorhynchus yanacensis es un residente especialista restringido a bosques de Polylepis de los Andes de Perú, Bolivia y Argentina. Aunque son necesarios los datos sobre su reproducción, aún hay escasos reportes sobre las características del nido y la biología del anidamiento. En el presente estudio, en un periodo de cuatro años (2002–2005) se registraron 54 nidos construidos sobre P. besseri en la Cordillera de Cochabamba, Bolivia. El nido se construye en cinco fases en forma de domo, con cuatro capas donde el material principal de las primeras tres capas son gramíneas altoandinas. El tamaño promedio de la puesta fue de 1,8 huevos, con un periodo de incubación de 21 a 24 días. Los polluelos permanecieron 21 días en el nido, con un cuidado parental que se extendió hasta ocho meses después que abandonaron el nido. El éxito de los nidos fue de 59%. El periodo reproductivo, tiempo de construcción del nido, anidamiento prolongado y la arquitectura del nido parecen estar influenciados por la época de lluvia y su frecuente descenso de la temperatura.
