Abstract: | Bolivia lies within the Tropics and contains extremes from desert to jungle and from low to high altitudes. House Sparrows entered the south of Bolivia from Argentina about 1930 and have now spread to towns and villages scattered through about half of the country. These are principally in the semi-arid Andean descents of south and central Bolivia and in the lowlands in Santa Cruz city and certain nearby towns. In the high altiplano they have reached only two cities and are not numerous in either. They appear to be absent from the humid Andean slopes and from most of the eastern and northern lowlands, with the exception of two isolated towns which they could have reached either from Brazil or from elsewhere in Bolivia. House Sparrows do not occur away from human settlements in Bolivia. |
