Consumption of aquatic macrophytes by the Red-gartered Coot Fulica armillata (Aves: Rallidae) in a coastal wetland of north central Chile
ABSTRACT The Red-gartered Coot Fulica armillata, is a common herbivorous water bird in coastal wetlands of the southern Neotropical region. Microhistological analyses of feces collected at the coastal wetland of Punta Teatinos (north central Chile; ~29ºS), show that this coot feeds predominantly on...
