Distribution Maps X: Bearded Manakins

Bearded manakins are small birds found in Central and South America. I learned about them by reading a scientific article entitled "Comparison of Species Tree Methods for Reconstructing the Phylogeny of Bearded Manakins (Aves: Pipridae, Manacus) from Multilocus Sequence Data."[1] Within the article was a map representing the ranges for the four species of bearded manakins. I redrew the map as an .svg, separated it into indivual maps for each species, and uploaded them to Wikimedia Commons. And, of course, I inserted them into the appropriate article over at Wikipedia.

Orange-collared Manakin (Manacus aurantiacus)

White-collared Manakin (Manacus candei)

White-bearded Manakin (Manacus manacus)

Golden-collared Manakin (Manacus vitellinus)

And the range for the genus as a whole:

Bearded Manakins (Genus Manacus)
