“…The distribution of the Military Macaw in Mexico is along the Sierra Madre Occidental and Sierra Madre del Sur (Pacific slope) (Almazán-Núñez and Nova-Muñoz, 2009; Howell & Webb, 1995;Peterson & Chalif, 1989), in northeastern Mexico in the Sierra Madre Oriental (Gulf of Mexico slope) (Arizmendi & Márquez, 2000;Íñigo-Elías, 1999;Rivera-Ortíz et al, 2013), and in central Mexico (Hernández-Castán, Villordo-Galván, Canogarcía, Gaspariano-Martínez, & Rodríguez-Cantalapiedra, 2012; Jiménez-Arcos, Santa Cruz-Padilla, Escalona-López, Arizmendi, & Vázquez, 2012;Rivera-Ortíz et al, 2008; Urbina-Torres, Monroy-Vilchis, González-Martínez, Amador-Solís, & Celis-Murillo, 2012). However, in recent years its distribution has been drastically reduced by the change in land use and illegal trade (Marín-Togo et al, 2012;Monterrubio-Rico, Labrada-Hernández, Ortega-Rodríguez, Cancino-Murillo, & Villaseñor, 2010;Ríos-Muñoz & Navarro-Sigüenza, 2009;Rivera-Ortíz et al, 2013).…”
