A few examples of ongoing, Neotropical-based, long-term (20+ years) ornithology research programs (ordered by starting year), and the biological shortfalls they address. Domains follow Lees et al. (2020): Systematics, Biogeography, Population Biology, Evolution, Functional Ecology, Abiotic Tolerance, Biotic Interactions, Natural History; we add Human-wildlife Interactions as a ninth domain of critical importance to ornithology. We chose to highlight studies initiated or currently led by in-country researchers that may be less visible to researchers outside of the Neotropics.
