Abstract (en):
The reproduction, feeding, parental care, growth, behavior and territoriality of Vanellus chilensis are described, based on observations of three territories around San Pablo Lake, Imbabura, Ecuador. The habitat of this species is threatened by human activities such as agriculture and livestock, which also affect other resident and migratory birds. The conservation and management of these wetlands is a priority.

Se describen la reproducción, alimentación, cuidado parental, crecimiento, comportamiento y territorialidad de
Vanellus chilensis, con base en observaciones de tres territorios ubicados en los alrededores del lago San Pablo,
Imbabura, Ecuador. El hábitat de esta especie en esta localidad está amenazado por actividades humanas como
agricultura y ganadería, que también afectan a otras aves residentes y migratorias, por lo que es urgente la conservación y manejo de estos humedales.
