Potential predators of nests of aquatic birds of the wetlands of Caulín, Chiloé, south of Chile and evaluation of methods of detection

Abstract

Potential predators of ground nesting aquatic birds were identifi ed, through various monitoring techniques, in wetlands of Bahía de Caulín, Chiloé, Chile. As a result, a greater proportion of mammalian predators was found, followed by raptorial birds and the monitoring techniques provided information at different taxonomic levels.
