HEMATOLOGY AND PLASMA BIOCHEMISTRY REFERENCE INTERVALS FOR FREE-LIVING ADULT CHIMANGO CARACARA (MILVAGO CHIMANGO) DURING THE NONBREEDING SEASON

Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine, 2023
: Hematological and blood biochemistry values are useful in assessing the physiological, nutritional, and overall health status of captive and free-living wildlife. For the chimango caracara (Milvago chimango), the most common raptor species in Argentina,

Visual acuity in an opportunistic raptor, the chimango caracara (Milvago chimango)

Physiology & Behavior, 2016
Raptors are always considered to have an extraordinary resolving power of their eyes (high visual acuity). Nevertheless, raptors differ in their diet and foraging tactics, which could lead to large differences in visual acuity. The visual acuity of an opportunist bird of prey, the Chimango caracara (Mivalgo chimango) was estimated by operant ...

First Record of the Chimango Caracara (Milvago chimango) Using Shrimp as Prey

Journal of Raptor Research, 2019
The Chimango Caracara (Milvago chimango; hereafter, chimango) is one of the most common raptors in southern South America (White et al. 1994). Due to its high ecological plasticity, the species occupies a wide variety of habitats from mountainous to ...

Variation in boldness and novelty response between rural and urban predatory birds: The Chimango Caracara, Milvago chimango as study case

Behavioural Processes, 2020
The study of traits that enable species to thrive in urban habitats is critical to a better understanding the evolution of urban ecosystems. Here, we examined variation in boldness, neophobia, and exploratory behavior in a generalist raptor, the Chimango Caracara, Milvago chimango, occurring in areas with different urbanization level.

Experimental assessment of problem solving by Milvago chimango (Aves: Falconiformes)

Journal of Ethology, 2007
We report a preliminary assessment of problem solving as an estimate of behavioural innovation and learning ability of a generalist and abundant raptor, Milvago chimango, under controlled conditions in aviaries. Experimental tests consisted in presentation of a Plexiglas box with four lids leading to isolated pieces of meat.

Natal dispersal and philopatry of Chimango Caracaras (Milvago chimango) in suburban, rural and natural habitats, determined by band recovery and re-sighting data

Emu - Austral Ornithology, 2018
ABSTRACTNatal dispersal is a process whereby birds move from their birthplace to the site of their first attempt at reproduction. This process has strong implications for the dynamics and genetic structure of populations. However, studies on the dispersal of neotropical birds of prey are scarce.

Prevalence of Pathogens in Free-Living Adult Chimango Caracaras (Milvago chimango) in Three Areas with Different Levels of Urbanization in the Pampas Ecoregion, Argentina

Journal of Raptor Research
. Urbanization can adversely impact animal populations through factors such as loss of natural habitat, introduction of nonnative competitors and predators, pollution, and increased exposure to pathogens.

Inter-individual and age differences in exploration, neophobia and problem-solving ability in a Neotropical raptor (Milvago chimango)

Animal Cognition, 2010
Animal innovations have far-reaching ecological and evolutionary consequences. The occurrence and persistence of an innovation require several processes, including exploration, social and asocial learning, and low neophobia. In addition, the identity of the innovator may determine how these new behaviours are socially transmitted.
