Williamson's research identified two populations with two very distinct migration patterns - one resident in the central Andes, one that does this long-distance, elevationally extreme migration.
Birds followed the Andes north, bypassing the Atacama, then rapidly return south along a different path along the coast to breed in Chile. Some of these birds' journeys rivaled the longest known hummingbird migration, that of the rufous hummingbird.
"Mountains are potent forces in shaping biodiversity." Huge ecological changes across short distances over steep elevational gradients. Williamson's work has focused on birds in the Andes - what role to elevational gradients there play in generating & maintaining bdioversity?
