The subspecies Setophaga petechia gundlachi is characterized by its specificity to mangrove habitat during the breeding season. The objective of this work was to compare the prey availability for S. petechia gundlachi during the breeding season in two mangrove sites with different vegetation structure in Havana, Cuba. To describe different levels of vegetation structure between both mangrove sites, we took several variables at 50 plots. Besides, we recorded the foraging behavior of S. petechia gundlachi to establish the design of prey availability sampling. We measured prey availability by using the branch clipping method, about 90 samples were collected at each mangrove site. Bajo de Santa Ana mangrove, with a lower height and diameter at breast height, showed evidence of deforestation. Laguncularia racemosa was the most used mangrove species for foraging and offered the highest biomass of available prey in the Laguna de Cobre-Itabo mangrove site. The greatest biomass of available prey was found at the Laguna de Cobre-Itabo, with a value of 5.1 (CI: 4.0 - 6.2) mg / 100 g of branch clipping. The Bajo de Santa Ana site had a lower value than expected 1.6 (CI: 0.8 - 1.7) mg / 100 g of branch clipping. The results provide evidence of the possible influence of mangrove vegetation structure changes on food availability for S. petechia gundlachi in this urban landscape.
La subespecie Setophaga petechia gundlachi se caracteriza por su especificidad al hábitat de manglar durante la etapa reproductiva. El objetivo de este trabajo fue comparar la disponibilidad de presas para S. petechia gundlachi durante la estación reproductiva en dos manglares con diferente estructura de la vegetación en la Habana, Cuba. Para caracterizar las diferencias en estructura de la vegetación entre ambos manglares, se tomaron variables en 50 parcelas. Además, se realizaron observaciones de la conducta de forrajeo de S. petechia gundlachi para establecer el diseño para el muestreo de la disponibilidad de presas. La disponibilidad de presas se midió mediante el método de corte de rama, con aproximadamente 90 muestras por manglar. El manglar de Bajo de Santa Ana, con una menor altura y diámetro a la altura del pecho, mostró evidencias de deforestación. Laguncularia racemosa fue la especie de mangle más usada para forrajear, y que ofrece la mayor biomasa de presas disponible en el manglar de Laguna de Cobre-Itabo. La mayor biomasa de presas disponible fue para Laguna de Cobre-Itabo, con un valor de 5,1 (IC: 4,0 - 6,2) mg / 100 g de ramas. Mientras que Bajo de Santa Ana presentó un valor más bajo de lo esperado con 1,6 (IC: 0,8 – 1,7) mg / 100 g de ramas. Los resultados brindan evidencia de la posible influencia de las modificaciones en la estructura de la vegetación de manglar sobre la disponibilidad de alimento de S. petechia gundlachi en este paisaje urbano.
