Urbanization is a worldwide problem affecting wildlife negatively. Cities cause habitat suppression, fragmentation, among other disease spreading, suitable conditions for exotic species, and direct animal kills—consequently, local native species might be extinct. Still, urban areas can also provide biodiversity maintenance because some species can be adapted to the urban environment. Here, we assess how the urban environment influences the displacement of native turquoise-fronted Amazon (Amazona aestiva). We created a map of environmental suitability to modeling A. aestiva displacement routes among three protected areas in Brasilia, Brazil. We tested (1) if the modeled corridors tend to be near to the areas where A. aestiva occurs and (2) how landscape spatial heterogeneity influences those modeled routes. We expected to observe oriented routes in homogeneous areas (few pixels with high-frequency selection), and the opposite in heterogeneous areas. To test our hypotheses, we recorded A. aestiva and correlated its presence/absence with the modeled corridors and correlated the landscape spatial heterogeneity with different metrics of the modeled corridors. Our results indicate that at least one of the modeled routes was near to the points with parrots. In general, potential dispersal routes with little spatial variation occurred in homogeneous areas. In the urban matrix, potential routes were less oriented with more spatial variation. Our results suggest the adoption of different strategies to manage the natural environment in an urban matrix. By managing the spatial heterogeneity, it is possible to direct how the species use the space, promoting the displacement to desired areas, avoiding the more urbanized ones.

城市化是一个全球性问题，对野生生物产生负面影响。城市会导致栖息地受到抑制，破碎，以及其他疾病的蔓延，外来物种的适宜条件以及直接的动物杀戮，因此，当地的本地物种可能已经灭绝。尽管如此，城市地区也可以提供生物多样性维护，因为某些物种可以适应城市环境。在这里，我们评估了城市环境如何影响以青绿色为背景的亚马逊（Amazona aestiva）的迁移。我们创建了一个环境适应性地图，以模拟巴西巴西利亚三个保护区中的A. aestiva位移路线。我们测试了（1）建模的走廊是否倾向于靠近A. aestiva的区域（2）景观空间异质性如何影响那些模拟路径。我们期望在同质区域（很少有高频选择的像素）中观察到定向路径，而在异质区域则相反。为了检验我们的假设，我们记录了A. aestiva并将其存在与否与建模走廊相关联，并将景观空间异质性与建模走廊的不同指标相关联。我们的结果表明，至少有一条模型路线接近具有鹦鹉的点。通常，在均匀区域中发生空间变化很小的潜在扩散路径。在城市矩阵中，潜在路线的指向性较差，空间变化较大。我们的结果表明采用不同的策略来管理城市矩阵中的自然环境。通过管理空间异质性，可以指示物种如何利用空间，促进向期望区域的迁移，避免城市化程度更高的物种。
