Parasitismo de cría del Renegrido, Molothrus bonariensis, sobre el Chingolo, Zonotrichia capensis : nuevas observaciones y conclusiones
Data on the brood parasitism of the Shiny Cowbird, Molothrus bonariensis on the Rufous-collared Sparrow, Zonotrlchia capensis, was collected during 10 breeding seasons (l970-1979: 70 nests), in a study site at Buenos Aires Province, Argentina. Though the cowbird parasitised 14 species of local passe...
