Conservation status of the Chilean Woodstar Eulidia yarrellii
(2007)
We assessed the conservation status of the Chilean Woodstar Eulidia yarrellii, a small hummingbird endemic to a few desert valleys of northern Chile and southern Peru. Although no population studies had been conducted, ...
Does Environmental Heterogeneity Promote Cognitive Abilities?
(Elsevier, 2015)
In the context of global change the possible loss of biodiversity has been identified as a major concern. Biodiversity could be seriously threatened as a direct consequence of changes in availability of food, changing ...
Daily Movements of Non-Breeding Yellow-billed Pintails (Anas georgica) in Central Chile
(Waterbird Soc., 2020)
Between January-August 2017, the movements of 18 individual Yellow-billed Pintail (Anas georgica) were studied after capture at the Carampangue wetland in Central Chile and equipped with GPS transmitters. The goal was to ...
Birds in coastal wetlands of Chile
(Springer International Publishing, 2017)
Between the extreme north of Chile and the island of Chiloe, there are approximately 300 coastal wetlands. Among them, there are estuaries where the larg-est waterfowl populations are concentrated, due to their ...
Low habitat overlap at landscape scale between wild camelids and feral donkeys in the Chilean desert
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2016)
Feral domestic ungulates may compete with the populations of wild herbivores with which they coexist, particularly so in arid regions. The potential competition between wild camelids and feral donkeys at the eastern sector ...
Causes of admission to a rehabilitation center for andean condors (vultur gryphus) in Chile
(Raptor Research Foundation, 2016)
Causes of admission to rehabilitation centers can provide valuable information about factors that cause mortality in the wild. We studied causes of admission to a rehabilitation center for 108 Andean Condors (Vultur gryphus) ...
Effects of the structure of pine plantations on their "softness" as barriers for ground-dwelling forest birds in south-central Chile
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2008-03-20)
Fragmentation combined with habitat loss can affect population persistence mainly by isolating habitat fragments. However, this isolation
depends, in part, on the species’ perception of the surrounding matrix compared to ...
Niche Segregation between Wild and Domestic Herbivores in Chilean Patagonia
(PLoS ONE, 2013)
Competition arises when two co-occuring species share a limiting resource. Potential for competition is higher when species
have coexisted for a short time, as it is the case for herbivores and livestock introduced in ...
Detailed dynamic land cover mapping of Chile: Accuracy improvement by integrating multi-temporal data
(Elsevier, 2016)
Stretching over 4300 km north to south, Chile is a special country with complicated landscapes and rich biodiversity. Accurate and timely updated land cover map of Chile in detailed classification categories is highly ...
Is human disturbance causing differential preference of agricultural landscapes by taruka and feral donkeys in high Andean deserts during the dry season?
(Elsevier, 2016)
Areas with high shrub and grass cover are scarce and important for arid-land ungulates. Unfortunately, agricultural activities are often concentrated in such areas causing ungulates either to include croplands as foraging ...
