Sampling Methods
Wild birds were captured using six 12-meter-long mist nets deployed over a two-day period at each site, operated from 6:30 am to 11:30 am. Sampling took place between March and October 2021 across 13 localities within seasonally dry tropical forest in eastern Guatemala. Sites varied in the degree of anthropogenic disturbance. Mist nets were checked frequently to reduce handling time and minimize stress. Captured birds were identified, and a small blood sample was collected via brachial venipuncture for the detection of avian malaria parasites (Plasmodium, Haemoproteus and Leucocytozoon) using PCR. All birds were released at the site of capture after sampling.
| Study Extent | The study was carried out in the Motagua Valley region, located in eastern Guatemala within the department of Zacapa, at elevations ranging from 300-900 m above sea level. Sampling took place between March and October 2021 across 13 localities within the study area. |
