| Gui¤a (_Leopardus guigna_) preys on cavity-nesting nestlings | |
| 2013 Revista Chilena de Historia Natural (86): 501-504 | |
Predation has been a leading cause of nesting failure among diverse species of birds, accounting for up to 90 % of nest failure in some endangered populations. Different types of predators, such as small/medium.sized mammals and birds, are able to impact the reproductive success of birds by preying on their nest contents. Nevertheless, direct evidences of predation events has been poorly documented, highlighting the relevance to obtain original and reliable data about an ecological interaction that may strongly impact bird populations and community structure, particularly in highly perturbed ecosystems. |
