Introduction
Virtually nothing is published on this species in the New World. It is assumed that ecological requirements, movements etc are the same as for S. melanatos in the Old World but this may not be a valid assumption. Climate change and its impact on rainfall (hence breeding productivity) as well as the changing wetlands due to an increased number of hydroelectric generation plants needs investigating.
