TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the relationship between short-and long-term changes in agricultural land use on the densities of six bird species (Milvago chimango, Caracara plancus, Tyrannus savana, Zenaida auriculata, Molothrus bonariensis, and Sturnella supercilliaris) using data from a large-scale, longterm avian monitoring program in central Argentina.

TL;DR: The effect of land use and cover extent on birds between 2003-2012 was evaluated using a Bayesian hierarchical, multi-species and multi-season occupancy model, and the results support predictions that species diversity is positively related to habitat heterogeneity and habitat heterogeneity would likely benefit most species in an intensified agroecosystem.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the relationship between pest bird densities and the environmental variables associated with land use and/or cover, vegetation productivity and climate in the Pampas region of Argentina and Uruguay.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors assessed the frequency and distribution of Azara's tuco-tuco mounds in plots under center-pivot irrigation during two alfalfa crop seasons.

TL;DR: There was an increase in insecticide doses and treated area during the last decade, and this trend might be reversed by the development of training programs for people doing agrochemical applications that consider the environmental performance of each active ingredient used, and by building a strong commitment to maintaining a healthy productive environment.
