South America holds 30% of the world's avifauna, with Atlantic Forest representing one richest regions Neotropics. Here we have compiled a data set on Brazilian bird occurrence (150,423) and abundance samples (N = 832 species; 33,119 individuals) using multiple methods, including qualitative surveys, mist nets, point counts, line transects). We used four main sources data: museum collections, on-line databases, literature sources, unpublished reports. The comprises 4,122 localities from 1815...
Applicability of modeling tools to tackle conservation problems is key for planning. However, papers regarding real-world issues are scarce. Here, we combined two identify priority areas in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, focusing on last large-bodied frugivorous bird region, red-billed curassow (Crax blumenbachii). We used population viability analysis (PVA) determine (1) minimum viable size under different hunting scenarios; and (2) critical forest patch required maintain populations....
Abstract The distribution of the highly diversified and species-rich snake genus Atractus was assessed in search for endemism areas. dataset 6000 museum specimens used to run an Endemicity Analyses order identify areas biogeographic relevance . By using distinct methodological approaches modifying size shape grid cells we obtained a better adjustment each species range, taking into account distributed along Andean Atlantic Forest mountain ranges or certain vegetation constraints. Three...
