“…Taking into account that lowland lakes in Argentina are key habitats for vulnerable species of flamingoes all the year round (Bucher and Curto, 2012) or especially during winter when some of the high-Andes lakes in Argentina, Bolivia, Chile and Perú freeze (Caziani et al, 2007), further research on zooplankton is needed. They would be a tool for monitoring the ecological quality of the wetlands related to the conservation biology of flamingoes, particularly for P. chilensis, the most abundant species, wich can use zooplankters as a food source.…”

“…These flamingo species show contrasting temporal and spatial patterns in the Pampean region. The Chilean flamingo inhabits most of these lowland wetlands throughout the year, whereas the Andean flamingo uses only some of them in winter (Caziani et al, 2007;Romano et al, 2009).…”

“…The ecological information published on this species makes reference to observations on certain reproductive aspects (Sosa 1999), geographical distribution and population fluctuations (Johnson et al 1958;Caziani et al 2001Caziani et al , 2007Rocha 1997), nesting, habitat use (Mascitti 2001;Mascitti and Bonaventura 2002;Mascitti and Castañera 2006), and conservation status (Bucher 1992). If we consider its widespread population distribution throughout the country, there are currently no existing publications about the Chilean flamingo's diet nor do we know the prey selection strategy (selective or opportunistic) it uses in the different environments in which it lives.…”

Background: The geographical distribution of the Chilean flamingo (Phoenicopterus chilensis) includes the southern-central Neotropics. Despite its wide distribution, currently there is no dietary information on its southern distribution range. From June to September 2011, we quantified the diet and prey availability of the Chilean flamingo in the marine wetland of Caulín (41°48' S, 73°37' W), southern Chile.Results: The prey availability related to both plankton and benthos were four species of copepods, four polychaetes, one foraminifera, and two amphipods. The diet of the Chilean flamingo was composed of foraminifera (Ammonia beccarii), copepods (Harpacticus sp.) and polychaetes. The most abundant prey items from feces of flamingos were Ammonia beccarii and Harpacticus sp. The diameter of A. beccarii consumed by flamingos ranged between 400 and 900 μm, while its width varied between 100 and 300 μm. The width of Harpacticus sp. consumed ranged between 160 and 260 μm. The similarity between flamingo diet and prey availability was 0.553. The diversity of prey organisms in the benthos was higher than that observed from plankton and feces of birds. A. beccarii was preferred over other prey consumed by flamingos. This preference is not related to the size of Harpacticus sp. but to their ability to swim and escape from flamingos. Conclusions:The dietary similarity of the Chilean flamingo versus the availability of prey in the environment (plankton and benthos) was 55%, indicating that the Chilean flamingo is a partially selective predator.

“…These three species migrate in Northern Andes (Parada, 1990;Caziani et al 2007), and on a metacommunity view point it would have the main community joined by Phoenicopterus chilensis as main predator, that coexist with Phoenicoparrus andinus and P. jamesi that graze on phytoplankton (Table 1; Figure 1). (Echaniz and Vignatti, 2011;Vignatti et al, 2007;.…”
