“…An alternative explanation to the observed pattern may be that larger prey items are more abundant in the patches than in the reserve. Nevertheless, Cavalli et al (2014), studying abundance of insects in similar habitats within the study area and at the same time of year, found that orthopterans (prey size 3; Pretelli et al 2014) were relatively more abundant in agricultural landscapes than in native grasslands, being equally consumed by spectacled tyrants in our study, while lepidopterans (mostly prey size 2; Pretelli et al 2014), were more abundant in continuous grasslands than in agricultural landscapes, but were more consumed in patches than in the reserve. These results would not support the possibility that the difference in the availability of insects between habitats is the cause of the behavioral difference of parental care.…”

“…The prey size [as total length (TL)] was estimated relative to the bill-length of the spectacled tyrant (mean bill-length: 15 mm; M. Pretelli, unpublished data) in the following size-classes: (1) TL B 8 mm; (2) 8 mm \ TL C 15 mm; and (3) TL [ 15 mm. In order to prevent the effects of seasonal variation on the contribution of prey in only one site (Cavalli et al 2014;Pretelli et al 2014), nests were simultaneously filmed throughout the breeding season at both sites.…”

“…Among invertebrates, Orthoptera (spanning greater than 28,000 valid species; Cigliano et al, 2020) are widely used to assess ecological or environmental changes (Gerlach et al, 2013). They are a key resource for upper food web species, such as lizards, spiders, and birds (Borges et al, 2013;Pretelli et al, 2014;Shea et al, 2009;Taylor et al, 2012) and play an important role in recycling organic matter (Prather et al, 2013). Related to ecological changes, Orthoptera species richness and composition have been negatively associated with mowing and grazing (Rada et al, 2014;Rambo & Faeth, 1999), and they are regularly used to assess the success of restoration programs (Alignan et al, 2014(Alignan et al, , 2018Hugel, 2012;Rácz et al, 2013).…”

“…Las aves insectívoras iniciaron más tempranamente su actividad reproductiva y podrían 76 estar respondiendo a la abundancia de insectos en el pastizal (Pretelli et al 2014). Estas nidadas tempranas desde fines de septiembre estuvieron lideradas por el Pecho Amarillo Chico, y esto coincide con lo reportado para esta especie en pastizales de la pampa deprimida (Mermoz y Reboreda 1998).…”

“…Estos resultados aportan información valiosa para comprender la sincronización de la reproducción de las aves de pastizal con los recursos alimenticios disponibles. Sin embargo, todavía hace falta una investigación más exhaustiva sobre estos aspectos, sumado a que existen pocos estudios acerca de la dieta de aves de pastizal y la dinámica de consumo de alimento por parte de adultos y pichones a lo largo de la temporada reproductiva (Pretelli et al 2014).…”
