Scientists have long been trying to understand why the Neotropical region holds highest diversity of birds on Earth. Recently, there has increased interest in morphological variation between and within species, how climate, topography, anthropogenic pressures may explain affect phenotypic variation. Because data are not always available for many species at local or regional scale, we limited our understanding intra- interspecies spatial Here, present ATLANTIC BIRD TRAITS, a set that includes...
Xenarthrans-anteaters, sloths, and armadillos-have essential functions for ecosystem maintenance, such as insect control nutrient cycling, playing key roles engineers. Because of habitat loss fragmentation, hunting pressure, conflicts with domestic dogs, these species have been threatened locally, regionally, or even across their full distribution ranges. The Neotropics harbor 21 armadillos, 10 anteaters, 6 sloths. Our data set includes the families Chlamyphoridae (13), Dasypodidae (7),...
Roadkill is widely recognized as one of the primary negative effects roads on many wildlife species and also has socioeconomic impacts when they result in accidents. A comprehensive dataset roadkill locations essential to evaluate factors contributing risk enhance our comprehension its impact populations dimensions. We undertook a compilation records, encompassing both published unpublished data gathered from road surveys or opportunistic sources. GLOBAL ROADKILL DATA includes 208,570...
Land-use change influences biodiversity in non-random ways, affecting some species and functional groups more than others, with potential implications for the loss or degradation of important ecological processes, such as seed dispersal. Here we investigate effect patch-size reduction on composition richness (FRic) avian communities Atlantic Forest fragments, focusing morphological traits associated dispersal frugivorous birds. We found that FRic three key traits—hand-wing index, body mass...
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 We used four main sources data: museum collections, on-line databases, literature sources, unpublished reports.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...
Abstract Mammalian carnivores are considered a key group in maintaining ecological health and can indicate potential integrity landscapes where they occur. Carnivores also hold high conservation value their habitat requirements guide management plans. The order Carnivora has 84 species from 8 families the Neotropical region: Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Otariidae; Phocidae; Procyonidae; Ursidae. Herein, we include published unpublished data on native terrestrial (Canidae;...
Abstract Species distribution modeling (SDM) is a promising tool for priority setting, conservation decision‐making and overall support species conservation. We developed participatory process (PMP) to ensure both the proper use of SDMs as well their efficacy impact tool. The PMP using SDM has assisted planning in number situations, including more than 25 endangered supported IUCN SSC Red List assessments. focuses on stakeholder engagement co‐develop that will turn guide decisions. This...
Biological invasion is one of the main threats to native biodiversity. For a species become invasive, it must be voluntarily or involuntarily introduced by humans into nonnative habitat. Mammals were among first taxa worldwide for game, meat, and labor, yet number in Neotropics remains unknown. In this data set, we make available occurrence abundance on mammal that (1) transposed geographical barrier (2) Neotropics. Our set composed 73,738 historical current georeferenced records alien which...
Roadkill estimates for different species and groups are available many countries regions. However, there is a lack of information from tropical countries, including Latin America. In this study, we analyzed medium large-sized mammal roadkill data 18 toll road companies (TRC) in São Paulo State (6,580 km monitored roads), Brazil. We extrapolated these numbers to the entire system major paved roads (36,503 km). The TRC collected mammal-road- mortality both before (2-lanes) after (4-lanes)...
Abstract: Human-modified landscapes (HMLs) are composed by small, isolated and defaunated forest fragments, which surrounded agricultural urban areas. Information on species that thrives in these HMLs is essential to direct conservation strategies local regional scales. Since dominant the Atlantic Forest, we aimed assess mammalian diversity a HML southeastern Brazil propose strategies. We collected data of terrestrial (small-, medium- large-sized) volant mammals three small fragments (10, 14...
Short and narrow roads are generally overlooked when assessing road impacts on biodiversity. However, these bisect natural environments may cause significant wildlife in local scale. Thus, we monitored roadkills along a short two-lane (CPM road) Southeastern Brazil propose mitigation strategies to reduce mortality. We roadkilled vertebrates 5 km of CPM from 2010 2016 also compiled data previous studies the same road. conducted hotspot analysis identify areas with roadkill aggregation....
Wildlife living within urban ecosystems have to adapt or perish. Red-legged Seriema, a large terrestrial bird, are rare in ecosystems, however, they been reported medium-sized Brazilian city. We investigated the reasons for this occurrence as well their behavior. assessed distribution of Seriemas (including fledglings), free-ranging cats, and cat-feeding points provided by humans, past records study area. discovered that sharing spatial resources with cats without apparent conflicts,...
Abstract This study describes the use of hair traps as a complementary method to obtain samples for stable isotope analysis from medium- and large-sized mammals. We sampled three protected areas within Atlantic Forest, Brazil. Traps formed an enclosure ~16 m 2 composed two barbed-wire strands at different heights, baited with corn, salt, fruits cinnamon powder. Samples were identified using microstructure. 11 species – four globally six nationally threatened which 63.6% frugivorous. found...
The objective of this study was to evaluate four airborne laser scanning derived indicators for monitoring tropical forest stands at different stages sustainable management practices. traditional routines are inefficient and time consuming due the limitation optical sensors in detecting features below canopy large areas involved management. Nine production units logging cycle stage were surveyed using scanning. Non-logged sites also included analysis. For each unit we computed above-ground...
The critically endangered Brazilian Merganser Mergus octosetaceus is one of the rarest waterfowls in world. Only three isolated populations remain Cerrado, totaling less than 250 individuals. We evaluated potential influence small hydroelectric plants (SHPs) and Protected Areas (PAs) on species’ conservation. identified suitable areas by using recent presence records environmental predictors, overlapped it with species dispersion zone SHP impact zone. Suitable for are limited to 4%...
O protocolo avançado de monitoramento comunidades aves, que faz parte do Programa Nacional Monitoramento da Biodiversidade – Monitora, teve início em 2017 na Reserva Biológica Gurupi (REBIO Gurupi), escolhida devido ao contexto degradação está inserida. Os resultados aqui apresentados foram obtidos longo seis campanhas realizadas entre 2017–2023 aplicação e oportunisticamente. Foram registradas 414 espécies, sendo Cercomacra cinerascens a mais abundante. contribuiu com três espécies novas...
A obtenção de dados produção, disponibilidade e consumo pela fauna silvestre das sementes Araucaria angustifolia ainda apresenta lacunas na bibliografia. O objetivo deste trabalho foi monitorar a variação da produção A. em remanescente Floresta com Araucárias sua predação silvestre. estudo realizado RPPN Papagaios-de-Altitude, Urupema, Santa Catarina. Para avaliar chuva do pinheiro-brasileiro foram estabelecidas duas áreas amostrais: um transecto abrangendo 480 m2 30 coletores instalados...
O Brasil é um dos países megadiversos reconhecidos pelo Programa das Nações Unidas para o Meio Ambiente (PNUMA). Para preservar essa biodiversidade diversas estratégias têm sido assumidas, e uma principais vêm políticas públicas: os planos de ação nacional a conservação espécies ameaçadas extinção (PANs). No PAN Aves da Mata Atlântica diversos atores participam do planejamento na execução ações que ocorrem no bioma, como aracuã-guarda-faca (Ortalis remota, Pinto, 1960), criticamente ameaçado...
