Relationship between pest birds and landscape elements in the Pampas of Central Argentina
Many species of birds are considered pests in rural areas modified for agricultural production. We evaluated the abundance of four species of avian pests (Eared Dove (Zenaida auriculata), Monk Parakeet (Myiopsitta monachus), Picazuro Pigeon (Patagioenas picazuro) and Spot-winged Pigeon (P. maculosa)...
