Mammals represent the largest-bodied elements of world's surviving megafauna and provide several key ecosystems services, yet their populations are often under steep decline throughout tropics. Anthropogenic defaunation is one most important contemporary threats to modern mammal faunas. Although Atlantic Forest biome South America shows clear signs defaunation, extent which this has lost its fauna remains poorly understood. Here, we collate analyze a comprehensive body secondary data...
Estimou-se a produção de serapilheira e taxa decomposição do material foliar em uma área cerradão, fisionomia pouco estudada esse respeito muito ameaçada, principalmente no Estado São Paulo. No período estudo, quantidade total produzida foi 5646,9 kg.ha-1.ano-1, onde fração 'folhas' teve maior participação, contribuindo com 4081,2 kg.ha¹.ano-1, seguida pela 'ramos' (1066,1 kg.ha-1.ano-1), 'estruturas reprodutivas' (434,1 kg.ha-1.ano-1) 'miscelânea' (65,5 kg.ha-1.ano-1).

distribution of the community vascular epiphytes in sites under different degrees disturbance ipanema national Forest, são Paulo, Brazil).despite importance to indicate degree local conservation, there is little research on this subject.the present was performed iperó, Brazil, aiming characterize epiphytic community, analyze their vertical and correlation among sites.Three were considered: RIA -remnant isolated/modified, FAB -advanced forest/border, Fai forest/inside.on each site 90 assorted...
ABSTRACT ∙ Birds have received special attention in urban areas. Due to their conspicuousness and quick response habitat changes, they perfectly fit the requirements as a bioindicator group. In this study, we assessed relationships between urbanization intensity vegetation characteristics bird richness greenspaces of Federal University São Carlos, Paulo, Brazil. We found significant positive relationship exotic tree abundance maximum height, species richness; but no interaction effect...
The captive environment can limit some important behavioral options for nonhuman animals, which often results in decreased welfare. companion of a conspecific be source complexity captivity, but this aspect has received little attention solitary species. This study investigated the effects two different housing conditions on behavior species, Southern tamandua (Tamandua tetradactyla). Six individuals housed singly and four pairs Brazilian zoological institutions were observed 10 days from...
The capacity of a given natural ecosystem to provide certain goods and services that satisfy human needs depends on its environmental characteristics (natural processes components). It was described the availability these (environmental functions) controlled sustained by ecological operating in Ecological Station Jataí (Luiz Antônio, SP). functions identified were grouped four main categories. To make values an integrated factor planning decision making it assessed their socio-economic...
A riqueza e a estratificação vertical das epífitas vasculares foram estudadas na Estação Ecológica de Jataí (EEJ), SP, Brasil. No total, 1.574 pertencentes 29 espécies, 20 gêneros sete famílias encontradas. As Angiospermas representadas por 23 espécies as Samambaias, seis espécies. Os holoepífitos característicos formam dominantes área (93,1%). Epífitas especialistas predominantes área, cerca 55% (17% fuste 38% copa); generalistas contribuíram com 42% hemiepífitas 3%. zonas intermediárias...
The Estação Ecológica de Jataí comprises one of the largest mesophytic semideciduous forest and savanna remnants in state São Paulo. However, anuran surveys on this site have not been registered literature. As result an exploratory survey conducted water bodies surroundings December 2006, we recorded 21 species belonging to five families 10 genera. These findings contribute knowledge fauna associated Paulo state, Brazil.
The occupation pattern of Sotalia guianensis in São Francisco do Sul harbor inlet, Babitonga bay, southern Brazil, was studied between September 1996 and June 1998. A total 200 h naturalistic observations 141.2 estuarine dolphin systematic were made using binoculars 7 x 50. At each three minutes interval, data about number individuals behavior registered. population used the inlet intensively, mainly for fishing activities. Ebb tide responsible a higher index. Considering months analyzed,...
A non-formal Environmental Education (EE) Program has been implemented in the natural conservation area (Ecological Station of Jataí, Luiz Ant nio, São Paulo State), through paradigms, which consider objectives education about, and for environment within cultural perspectives. The aim this is to support information scientific knowledge provide opportunities local population be aware environmental impacts risks resulting from soil use that threaten quality bio diversity Ecological Jataí....
Abstract A small population of coastal bottlenose dolphins ( Tursiops truncatus gephyreus ) inhabits the inland waters Laguna, southern Brazil. subset this interacts with artisanal fishermen. This specialized foraging tactic structures dolphin society into ‘cooperatives' (participants interaction) and ‘non‐cooperatives' (non‐participants). Between 2012 2015, a bridge was constructed in Laguna over an important core area for dolphins. Photo‐identification georeferenced data collected on boat...
A quali-quantitative survey was done in two fragments (75 and 100 ha) of semideciduous forest rural São Paulo State. The aim to characterize the bird community according richness, abundance, occurrence frequency these areas. qualitative showed 145 species Estação Ecológica de Carlos - EESCar (Brotas) 173 Fazenda Santa Cecília FSC (Patrocínio Paulista), while quantitative presence 60 72 respectively. isolation lower environmental quality fragment may be responsible for number this area...
RESUMOA expansão das áreas de pastagens e produção grãos no estado Rondônia se deu forma acelerada na última década devido principalmente a incentivos fiscais alta demanda do mercado externo. Em consequência, graves processos degradação da floresta iniciaram. Este estudo objetivou analisar fragmentação nos municípios Corumbiara Buritis, Rondônia. Para tanto, foram utilizadas imagens Landsat 5 TM para classificar as não floresta. A avaliação acurácia classificação supervisionada Maximum...
Studies were carried out on the localization and mapping of gas stations in urban area São Carlos city, for an environmental diagnosis related to soil, surface water underground contamination resulting from likely leaking fuel storage tanks. Considering that a provision legal restriction makes it possible most public areas are not located station potential risk, these information useful development programs designed reduce risks safety health contamination.
As epífitas têm papel fundamental como indicadores ambientais e podem refletir o grau de preservação local. Esta pesquisa foi desenvolvida na Floresta Nacional Ipanema, São Paulo, Brasil objetivou caracterizar a comunidade epifítica vascular, analisando sua abundância distribuição nos sítios borda interior da floresta. Foram encontradas 16 espécies, pertencentes 12 gêneros seis famílias. Houve predominância dos holoepífitos característicos. Na foram amostradas sete com diversidade Shannon H'...

Throughout the latter half of twentieth century, wildlife habitat destruction and species extinctions have greatly increased. As number endangered grows, use reintroduction as a conservation tool against extinction increases. This study focuses on 16-month marsh deer reintroduced in Jataí Ecological Station. The animals were radio tagged tracked daily between December 1998 April 2000. Displacement activity spatial preferences monitored by triangulation. wandered floodplains inside protected...
