Abstract

GONZALEZ-ZAMORA, Diego Adolfo et al. Presence of the Eurasian Collared-dove (Streptopelia decaocto) on the Revillagigedo Islands, Mexico. Huitzil [online]. 2016, vol.17, n.1, pp.151-154. ISSN 1870-7459.

We recorded for the first time the presence of Streptopelia decaocto in two of the Revillagigedo islands; Clarion and Socorro. We observed three adults of S. decaocto on different dates between March and July 2015. On both islands, we observed the birds in areas associated with human activities: in the military base of the Mexican Navy and in a vessel of the Navy. Further studies are needed to assess the distribution, abundance, and effects of S. decaocto in the Revillagigedo Islands.
