Nesting success and productivity of Tucuman Parrots (Amazona tucumana) in high-altitude forests of Argentina: do they differ from lowland Amazona parrots?

Abstract Most of our knowledge of reproduction of wild parrots in the Neotropics comes from studies of tropical lowland species, with few studies addressing species of high-altitude forests. We studied the reproductive biology of Tucuman Parrots (Amazona tucumana) in north-western Argentina between 2004 and 2009. We obtained data on reproductive output for 86 nests and on causes of mortality for 94 nests. Mean clutch-size per nesting attempt was 3.6 eggs ± 1.0 (s.d.). Hatching success (proportion of eggs laid that hatch) was 0.77 ± 0.17. Fledging success (proportion of nestlings that fledge) was 0.83 ± 0.13. The overall breeding success (mean number of fledglings per laying female per year) was 2.3 ± 0.8. Overall finite nesting success (daily survival rate to the power of the nesting length) was 0.53 ± 0.27, and chick finite nesting success rate was 0.74 ± 0.22. We did not find differences in reproductive rate between Tucuman Parrots and other species of Amazona parrot from lowland habitats. Productivity and nesting success of Tucuman Parrots had high values in some years and low values in others. This was probably related to fruiting events of Podocarpus parlatorei—a critical food item. The main causes of nesting failure were predation (16%) and abandonment (12%). Our results suggest that for several species of Amazona in lowland habitats, predation and poaching may be the main limiting factors whereas climatic factors and food availability may contribute most to nesting failure at higher altitudes.

Los pajaros carpinteros (Aves, Picidae) son considerados especies ingenieras de ecosistemas, y son sensibles a cambios en la composicion y estructura de los bosques. El noroeste Argentino contiene la mayor superficie de bosque nativo del pais. El objetivo de este trabajo fue caracterizar los sitios donde el carpintero lomo blanco (Campephilus leucopogon) excava huecos e identificar patrones de seleccion de sustratos de excavacion en la selva pedemontana de las Yungas Australes y en el bosque de dos quebrachos del Chaco Seco del noroeste Argentino. En las dos regiones forestales se recorrieron transectas en busca de huecos excavados por el carpintero lomo blanco. Se caracterizaron los arboles con huecos y se compararon con arboles sin huecos evaluados en parcelas ubicadas al azar. En la selva pedemontana y bosque chaqueno, la mayoria de los huecos excavados por el carpintero lomo blanco se encontraron en arboles vivos con grandes diametros a la altura del pecho (> 60 cm), significativamente mayores que los de los arboles disponibles. La altura de los huecos excavados fue mayor en la selva pedemontana que en el bosque chaqueno, en concordancia con la mayor altura promedio de la primera. El carpintero lomo blanco selecciono para excavar huecos ejemplares de Calycophyllum multiflorum y Amburana cearensis en la selva pedemontana y de Aspidosperma quebracho-blanco y Chorisia insignis en el bosque chaqueno. Estos resultados permiten proponer recomendaciones de manejo forestal para retener atributos estructurales clave para el carpintero lomo blanco.
