This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Castro-Vargas, Fernando, Rosselli, Loreta (2020): Biología reproductiva de Porphyriops melanops bogotensis (Gruiformes, Rallidae) subespecie endémica y amenazada del norte de los Andes. Caldasia 42 (1): 50-62, DOI: 10.15446/caldasia.v42n1.80853, URL: doi.org/10.15446/caldasia.v42n1.80853 ABSTRACT The Rallidae is a widely distributed family in the planet, with a high proportion of endangered species and limited information on reproductive biology.

Porphyriops melanops bogotensis is an endangered and isolated endemic Colombian subspecies and no detailed information about its breeding biology and nestling development. We describe the breeding biology of P. m. bogotensis and the development of the nestlings, thus providing novel information that may help its conservation. The study was done in the Bogotá area highland plateau between 2016 and 2019.
