Priorities for Future Research

Introduction

Almost half of the described species of Grallaria still are lacking studies of their nesting behavior, and Ochre-striped Antpitta is among these. In addition, this is one of only two truly lowland species of Grallaria, and thus may have very different life history strategies than its congeners. For these reasons more information is needed on all aspects of the behavior and ecology of this species. Of particular importance might be studies that evaluate the effects of forest fragmentation on Ochre-striped Antpitta, and on the dispersal abilities of this species.
