Animalia > Chordata > Aves > Passeriformes > Thraupidae > Camarhynchus > Camarhynchus heliobatesCamarhynchus heliobates (Mangrove Finch)Synonyms: Geospiza heliobates (homotypic) The mangrove finch (Camarhynchus heliobates) is a species of bird in the Darwin's finch group of the tanager family Thraupidae. It is endemic to the Galápagos Islands. It was found on the islands of Fernandina and Isabela, but recent surveys have failed to record the species on Fernandina. It has been classified as critically endangered by BirdLife International, with an estimated population of between 60 and 140 located in two large mangroves on Isabela. A study has shown that the two small populations remaining on Isabela Island have begun undergoing speciation and that one or both populations will eventually become extinct due to a lack of interbreeding. |
