A LONG-TERM STUDY INDICATES THAT TREE CLEARANCE NEGATIVELY AFFECTS FLEDGLING RECRUITMENT TO THE BLUE-FRONTED AMAZON (AMAZONA AESTIVA) POPULATION

A long-term study indicates that tree clearance negatively affects fledgling recruitment to the Blue-fronted Amazon (Amazona aestiva) population

The Blue-fronted Amazon (Amazona aestiva) is a Neotropical parrot with a large distribution in South America, including areas in Brazil, Bolivia, Argentina and Paraguay.A substantial part of the population of this parrot is concentrated in the Pantanal, a large wetland located in the center of South America.There, the clearing of forest and savanna
