Post-Fledging Habitat Selection by the Slender-billed Parakeet (Enicognathus leptorhynchus) in a Fragmented Agricultural Landscape of Southern Chile

Abstract: Abstract. Despite the importance of the post-fledging period in avian population dynamics, little is known about habitat use during this life stage. We examined habitat selection by radio-tracked juvenile Slender-billed Parakeets (Enicognathus leptorhynchus) at multiple spatial scales in a fragmented agricultural landscape of southern Chile. Using home ranges versus study area (home-range selection) and locations versus combined home range (habitat-type selection), we based spatial analyses of habitat selectio… Show more

“…These birds are of special concern for conservation given their recent population declines during the last century (COLLAR, 1997;DÍAZ, 2012;GOODALL et al, 1957). This situation renders these birds a priority, especially with regards to acquiring knowledge about their biology -including their parasites; nevertheless, scientific literature on this topic is scarce (CARNEIRO et al, 2012). In addition, because of their low population sizes, only those birds that have died by natural or accidental deaths can be examined for endoparasites.…”

“…Slender-billed Parakeet (Enicognathus lepto rhynchus) -like other parrots -is an intelligent species, which likely promotes its persistence in dynamic landscapes. These characteristics may facilitate the adaptation of foraging behaviour to include most available resources within a given area (Carneiro et al 2012). An overall increased bill length may improve the power or efficiency with which these species can rip off mud and flowers, extract grubs from live wood, or demolish decaying wood.…”
