Abstract

We report the predation of two species of rodents of the Muridae family (Rattus norvergicus and Mus musculus), one specimen of Columbina talpacoti (Aves: Columbiforme) and a crustacean Leptuca sp by females of Quiscalus mexicanus in Panama. One observation was made in 2008, and four in 2020 in Panama City. This report seeks to promote research on the changes that Q. mexicanus makes in its diet depending on the availability of nutritional resources and thus expand the knowledge about its food sources.
