Abstract: We conducted a study on small-mammal composition, abundance and diversity across altitudinal vegetational gradients in the Urucum Mountains (from 150 to 1000 m asl) western Brazil, complex biogeographic region. Small mammals were collected 31 sampling units distributed along (forest grassland), totalling 18 112 trap-nights for pitfall 3500 live-trap. Community variation among was assessed by randomization tests, setting altitude, vegetation, locality time as factors, using...
Abstract We updated the checklist of mammals from Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil based on primary records only. One hundred and sixty-six mammal species were listed as occurring in state, 47 them being medium to large, small 73 bat species. The are distributed 31 families: Didelphidae (17 spp.), Dasypodidae (7 Myrmecophagidae (2 Cebidae (1 sp.), Callithrichidae Aotidae Pitheciidae Atelidae Leporidae Felidae Canidae (4 Mustelidae (5 Mephitidae Procyonidae Tapiridae Tayassuidae Cervidae Sciuridae...
Abstract The distributional data of mammalian fauna are important to reach a comprehensive overview biogeographic patterns and highlight regional conservation status, especially in poorly known region such as the Chiquitano dry forest western Brazil. Our aims were survey mammal species occurring Urucum Mountains, located southeast end forest, compare its composition areas elsewhere different ecoregions, discuss their statuses. Small mammals sampled using pitfall live traps, medium large by...
Throughout the world, natural habitats have been replaced by pastures. Thus, bird conservation requires making pastures more accessible for birds. The use of birds inhabiting surrounding may be affected structure and their distance from habitats. In this study we tested whether species richness, composition abundance in Brazilian Cerrado are linked to habitat dietary requirements vegetation We found that with trees shrubs had greater richness forest birds, insectivorous semi-forest...
The informations of bird species distribution in different habitats and the structure their communities are crucial for conservation. We tested differences composition, richness abundance birds phytophysiognomies at Bodoquena Mountains, western Brazil, we demonstrated variations between trophic groups. Sampling was conducted July 2011 June 2012 200 point counts arranged study area. A total 3350 contacts were obtained belonging to 156 species. Woodland savannas, seasonal forests arboreal...
A ordem Rodentia representa aproximadamente 39% da diversidade mundial de mamíferos, sendo que para o Brasil são reconhecidos atualmente 76 gêneros e 263 espécies. Para a Bacia do Alto Paraguai (BAP), foi registrada ocorrência 42 espécies, distribuídas em oito famílias: Sciuridae (2 gêneros, 2 espécies), Cricetidae (15, 27), Caviidae (3, 3), Ctenomyidae (1, 1), Cuniculidae Dasyproctidae Erethizontidae 1) Echimyidae (5, 6). Dentre as espécies registradas na BAP, duas foram recentemente...
Several phytogeographic regions (Cerrado, Pantanal, Atlantic Forest, Gran Chaco, and Chiquitano Dry Forests) converge in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, influence regional biodiversity. Despite a list birds Sul being published by Nunes et al. (2017), it is necessary to update critically review avifauna records. In this study, we gathered results several records obtained from species lists online data platforms 336 sites over last decades grouped them into Main (Primary Secondary)...
Different vegetation types are distributed in mountains according to altitude, topography and soil. The composition structure of bird communities these areas can change relation the gradient, with particular occupying each habitat type. In this study we present changes composition, species richness abundance over gradient forests, savannas altitudinal grasslands Maciço do Urucum, a mountainous region located Chiquitano Dry Forests domain western Brazil. We recorded 165 through qualitative...
The data set represents the first attempt at a large-scale inventory of non-volant mammals, with potential applications to performing macroecological studies, developing conservation strategies, and undertaking population community ecology research, but also evaluate ecological consequences fragmentation defaunation. Our objectives for compiling these were summarize information about inventories mammals in critically important area Upper Paraná River Basin by focusing on species richness...
The Crested Black-Tyrant (Knipolegus lophotes) is a member of the Tyrannidae family that occurs throughout open areas in central, southeastern and southern Brazil. Although this species regions surround state Mato Grosso do Sul, there had never been recorded sighting state. Thus, information on its distribution across Brazil's midwestern region scarce. In study, we report first sightings K. lophotes Sul. These records extend known range Brazil contribute to expanding knowledge bird...
A better understanding of patterns species distribution is critical to carrying out the ecological studies needed develop more appropriate conservation plans. Here we present records for six bird in state Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. Five these (Trogon rufus, Baryphthengus ruficapillus, Notharchus swainsoni, Synallaxis ruficapilla and Procnias nudicollis) are rare their range still poorly understood; one (Tyrannopsis sulphurea) was recorded first time state.
Here, we highlight significant expansions in the distribution of Rhinella ocellata state Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. Originally described as Bufo ocellatus by Günther (1858) and subsequently reclassified Cochran (1954), this species belongs to margaritifera group. Novel records were obtained through nocturnal surveys anurans two previously undocumented locations for species. In December 2019, Vista Alegre, Maracaju, was identified approximately 190 km south nearest record Miranda. The second...
Although Três Lagoas municipality is located in a rare and highly fragmented Atlantic Forest-Cerrado ecotone, there scarcity of biodiversity data to guide conservation decisions. Therefore, this study aimed compile the first bird checklist 31 localities propose strategies based on avian richness, migratory status. A total 419 species were recorded, which 412 exclusive ecotone seven Cerrado domain (C. minor, L. xenopterus, P. unicinctus, T. curucui, S. pileata, melanopis luteola). According...
A ordem Didelphimorphia é composta somente pela família Didelphidae, exclusiva do continente americano. Esta amplamente distribuída na região Neotropical, ocupando grande variedade de hábitats. literatura registra 68 espécies didelfídeos no Brasil, das quais 24 delas têm ocorrência confirmada para a Bacia Alto Paraguai (BAP). As presentes nessa pertencem três subfamílias – Glironiinae (1 gênero, 1 espécie), Caluromyinae (1, 2) e Didelphinae (11, 21) e, dentre elas, inclui-se Monodelphis...
Os ambientes úmidos ao redor do mundo vêm sofrendo severos efeitos devido às atividades antrópicas que degradam e reduzem a quantidade de habitat disponível, afetando negativamente biodiversidade. Esse padrão é observado em diferentes regiões brasileiras, como no estado Mato Grosso Sul. Neste estudo nós apresentamos dados sobre composição, riqueza abundância aves 41 áreas úmidas inseridas Pantanal Cerrado Nós registramos 96 espécies são predominantemente associadas com estes ambientes.
