Population Spatial Metrics
Home Range Size
In the Cauca Valley, Colombia, mean home range size was 10.7 ha (± 8 ha), and typically occupied by pairs or family groups, composed of three and four individuals (5).
Another study from the Amazon River (Colombia), reported that Horned Screamer territories ranged in size from 100 m2 to 240 m2. The territories consisted of large floating mats of vegetation, which pairs used for feeding and nesting (59).
Population Status
Numbers
The population size is estimated at <100,000 individuals across its range, but more data are needed (64).
Trends
The population is believed to be decreasing, likely due in a large part to the dual pressures of habitat loss and hunting (65, 66).
Population Regulation
No information available.
