Abstract

UGARTE, Mauricio  and  LAVALLE VALDIVIA, Marianella. First documented record for the Rufous Collared Sparrow Zonotrichia capensis (Aves: Emberizidae) in the Peruvian Amazon. Rev. peru biol. [online]. 2018, vol.25, n.2, pp.175-178. ISSN 1727-9933.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15381/rpb.v25i2.14077.

We report the presence of the Rufous Collared Sparrow Zonotrichia capensis for the first time in the depart- ments of Loreto and San Martín at 155 and 240 m altitude respectively, which corresponds to the first confirmed record of the species for the Peruvian Amazon. It is possible that the presence of the species is due to the existence of the Tarapoto - Yurimaguas road, which would facilitate the occupation of the species by landscape transformation

Keywords : Rufous Collared Sparrow; Zonotrichia capensis; Amazon basin; Loreto; San Martin; distributional record.
