Influence of Agricultural Intensity and Urbanization on the Abundance of the Raptor Chimango Caracara (Milvago chimango) in the Pampean Region of Argentina

Dusting-off the file: A review of knowledge on urban ornithology in Latin America

“…1). In general, urban ornithological studies in Latin America have focused on: (1) urban gradients (Reynaud and Thioulouse, 2000;Leveau andLeveau, 2004, 2005;Juri and Chani, 2005;Faggi and Perepelizin, 2006;Bellocq et al, 2008;Petry and Scherer, 2008;Garaffa et al, 2009;López-Flores et al, 2009;Ortega-Álvarez and MacGregor-Fors, 2009), (2) community comparisons among different urban habitats (Petit et al, 1999;Borges and Guilherme, 2000;Caula et al, 2003;Lucero et al, 2005;Manhães and LouresRibeiro, 2005;Faggi and Perepelizin, 2006;Galina and Gimenes, 2006;Lopes and dos Anjos, 2006;Eduardo et al, 2007;Acevedo and Aide, 2008;Cardozo et al, 2008;MacGregor-Fors et al, 2009a;Ortega-Álvarez and MacGregor-Fors, 2009), (3) bird responses to urban habitat attributes (Leveau andLeveau, 2004, 2006;Faggi and Perepelizin, 2006;MacGregor-Fors, 2008;MacGregor-Fors et al, 2009a;Ortega-Álvarez and MacGregor-Fors, 2009;Suarez-Rubio and Thomlinson, 2009), (4) use of resources by birds within urban systems (Marcondes-Machado et al, 1994;Alves and Pereira, 1998;de Vasconcelos, 1998;Vitali-Veiga and Machado, 2000;Cáceres and Moura, 2003; Baza-Mendonç a and dos Valdés-P...…”

Effect of landscape heterogeneity on diurnal raptor community richness and diversity in JammuShiwaliks, Jammu and Kashmir

“…Urban avoiders like eagles, hawks, and falcons [98] with specific habitat requirements [95] are more abundant in less-disturbed and natural habitats [95,99–100] that provide safe refugee, hostile environment and the prey species [90]. It comprises the species adapted to live in the interior of forests, migrants, nesting birds sensitive to human presence.…”

Relationship between anthropogenic sewage discharge, marsh structure and bird assemblages in an SW Atlantic saltmarsh

“…We suspect that Chimango Caracara is taking advantage of the disturbance, since 340 the capacity and plasticity of this species to use new habitats has been demonstrated 341 (Pedrana et al, 2008;Bellocq et al, 2008), including a remarkable ability to obtain food 342 in novel situations (Biondi et al, 2008). 343…”
