“…We obtained occurrence records in new areas compared to the historical distribution (Figure 1b). Reinforcing published results (Sosa et al 2011, Reales et al 2019, we found Yellow Cardinals in areas west of the original distribution. The presence of cardinals in Sierra de las Quijadas National Park in San Luis province was surprising, since there are no historical records of the species, probably because of the lack of surveys in the national park.…”

“…Nevertheless, in spite of the efforts, no Yellow Cardinals were sighted. This coincides with the lower density registered in this region by Reales et al (2019). Since several sites were surveyed, we are confident that the lack of records is a consequence of true absence and not of the sampling design.…”

“…We sought information in all available publications through an exhaustive bibliographic search (Appendix S1 in the online supplementary material), in free databases (eBird.org, Global Biodiversity Information Facility -gbif.org, EcoRegistros.org, and Banco de Registros de Cardenal Amarillo, handled by the Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development of Argentina), as well as from specimens deposited in museums (Appendix S2). As these sources largely coincide with those of Reales et al (2019), to avoid duplication, we took presence points independently of that study. Based on this information, we constructed a database.…”

“…Besides those new localities, the Yellow Cardinal has disappeared from a good part of its historical distribution. Although records were always more scattered in the central part of the distribution compared to the margins (Reales et al 2019), it used to harbour populations. Nevertheless, in spite of the efforts, no Yellow Cardinals were sighted.…”

“…Although a database with presence data points of Yellow Cardinals from 1995 to 2018 has been assembled (Reales et al 2019), there is no information on the presence of the species in several regions with historical presence and/or suitable habitat. Moreover, extraction of individuals for the cage bird market can decrease population size rapidly until local extinctions, as frequently observed in recent years (Ló pez-Lanú s et al 2016).…”

Summary The Yellow Cardinal Gubernatrix cristata is a globally endangered passerine from the southern cone of South America. Because of its conspicuous plumage and very attractive song, it suffers considerably from illegal pet trade. The largest remaining populations are found in Argentina, but no coordinated efforts have been made thus far to understand better its current distribution and conservation status. During three annual surveys supported by a citizen science programme, more than 140 volunteers surveyed 644 geographical points during spring and detected 221 Yellow Cardinals. Based on the survey results, we evaluated the presence of cardinals within protected areas in Argentina and found that the species was only detected in four of them, two of which were private reserves with a low level of protection. We also found that the species was not restricted to the ‘Espinal’ ecoregion, but also inhabited ‘Monte’ and ‘Chaco’ ecoregions, which are generally drier. This citizen science programme allowed us to obtain up-to-date information on the remaining populations of the Yellow Cardinal and helped to increase public awareness about the conservation problems faced by the species. We propose some future strategies for monitoring Yellow Cardinals and taking informed conservation decisions.
