An evaluation of monk parakeet damage to crops in the metropolitan area of Barcelona

An evaluation of monk parakeet damage to crops in the metropolitan area of Barcelona.— We evaluated damage to commercial crops caused by the monk parakeet, Myiopsitta monachus, in the Baix Llobregat agricultural area (1,024 ha) bordering the city of Barcelona, Spain. Average crop loss was 0.4% for t...

Our data show that the potential damage to crops by monk parakeets in this invaded area is now a reality.

En promedio, las cotorras causaron pérdidas en los cultivos del orden del 0,4% en el tomate, el 28% en el maíz, el 9% en la ciruela claudia ovalada, el 36% en la ciruela claudia redonda, el 37% en la pera, el 17% en el caqui y el 7% en el membrillo. Nuestro trabajo confirma de forma objetiva que los daños potenciales producidos por la cotorra de pecho gris en esta zona invadida son ya una realidad. La pasividad en la gestión ante las especies invasoras a la larga siempre acarrea graves consecuencias. Por lo tanto, los sistemas de detección de daños y la rápida intervención en este tipo de conflictos son herramientas básicas en la gestión para evitar problemas a medio largo plazoPeer reviewedMuseo de Ciencias Naturales (Barcelona)Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas [https://ror.org/02gfc7t72]201620162016info:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501Publisher's versioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionhttp://hdl.handle.net/10261/133021reponame:DIGITAL.CSIC.
