Over 60 claylicks were reported, with over 90% occurring in the western Amazon in Peru and Ecuador. The modelling program determined that the highest likelihood of encountering claylicks is associated with the edges of the Amazon, with highest likelihood on the east slopes of the Andes mountains (Fig. 2). All claylicks were found in tropical broadleaf forest and significantly more are found in younger geological age zones and basins. Claylicks with large surface-areas and furthest from the east coast oceans had the highest species richness. Parrots with large ranges and with broader habitat breadth use a larger proportion of claylicks. Parrots claylick distribution in South America: Do patterns of where help answer the question why?

In South America up to 20 species of parrots are commonly observed eating clay from claylicks on riverbanks1 (Fig. 1). Common theories include adsorption of dietary toxins2 and nutrient supplementation, especially sodium3. Recent studies have struggled to separate these benefits as the variables are strongly correlated4. We aimed to map the ext...
