Comments Found at elevations of 2400-3700m, along forest edges, including Polyepsis woods, and secondary forest, often degraded woods in agricultural land. They tend to sit out on prominent branches, like this one. We saw these in several places along the roads over the Andes.

This page is a Tree of Life Branch Page.

Each ToL branch page provides a synopsis of the characteristics of a group of organisms representing a branch of the Tree of Life. The major distinction between a branch and a leaf of the Tree of Life is that each branch can be further subdivided into descendent branches, that is, subgroups representing distinct genetic lineages.

For a more detailed explanation of the different ToL page types, have a look at the Structure of the Tree of Life page.
