Building bridges between environmental and political agendas is essential nowadays in face of the increasing human pressure on natural environments, including wetlands. Wetlands provide critical ecosystem services for humanity can generate a considerable direct or indirect income to local communities. To meet many sustainable development goals, we need move our trajectory from current destructive wiser wetland use. The article contain proposed agenda Pantanal aiming improvement public policy...
Climate change poses a critical threat to the Pantanal, largest wetland in world. Models indicate an increase frequency of extreme precipitation events and extended periods drought. These changes can amplify consequences for Pantanal's ecological functioning, which has already experienced intensive human modification its hydrological system environmental health. The present study analyzed spatial temporal dynamics rainfall resulting extremes Brazilian area Upper Paraguay River Basin (UPRB)...
The first record of the Orthoptera species Lerneca inalata for Brazil is presented here. taxon represented by a new subspecies beripocone subsp. nov. (Phalangopsidae, Luzarinae), collected in Pantanal Poconé, Mato Grosso, Brazil. This work includes morphological and morphometric data as well descriptions female genitalia calling song. has diagnostic features male with six ventral spines on B sclerite, spine having subtle bifurcation; mid-region strongly sclerotized pseudepiphallus;...
Homalinotus depressus (Linnaeus, 1758) (Molytinae: Cholini) is an economically important weevil that occurs in association with wild palm trees and causes damage to coconut plantations (Cocus nucifera L.) the state of Pará, Brazil. We present, for first time, descriptions illustrations larva pupa H. depressus, discussion terminology used morphology chaetotaxy Curculionoidea. compare immature stages larvae pupae Heilipodus erythropus (Klug, 1829) (Hylobiini), Rhyparonotus altarensis (Olliff,...
Machine learning tools are widely used in support of bioacoustics studies, and there numerous publications on the applicability convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to automated presence-absence detection species. However, relation between merit acoustic background modelling recognition performance needs be better understood. In this study, we investigated influence substance detector White-lored Spinetail (Synallaxis albilora). Two designs were evaluated: 152-layer ResNet with transfer a...
Computer-assisted species recognition facilitates the analysis of relevant biological information in continuous audio recordings. In present study, we assess suitability this approach for determining distinct life-cycle phases Southern Lapwing Vanellus chilensis lampronotus based on adult vocal activity. For purpose use passive 14-min and 30-min soundscape recordings (n = 33 201) collected 24/7 mode between November 2012 October 2013 Brazil's Pantanal wetlands. Time-stamped detections V....
Terrestrial arthropods from tree canopies in the Pantanal of Mato Grosso, Brazil. This study represents a contribution to knowledge diversity associated canopy Vochysia divergens Pohl (Vochysiaceae). Three trees individuals were sampled during two seasonal periods this region: a) by spraying one high water (February); b) fogging low (September/October). The 15,744 (183.2±38.9 individuals/m²) obtained all three (86 m²) represented 20 taxonomic orders, 87.1% Insecta, and 12.9% Arachnida....
In this study different sampling techniques for Diplopoda in soil, tree trunks and canopies were applied an integrated way the northern region of Pantanal Mato Grosso, Brazil. This was done order to assess relationship within fauna each forest strata, as well its richness temporal distribution. all these habitats there a total 1,354 diplopods, distributed four taxonomic orders, with Polyxenida being predominant over Polydesmida, Spirostreptida Spirobolida. The largest representation found on...
The moon phase affects the ecology and vocal activity of nightjars (Caprimulgidae). However, some studies have found contradictory results regarding impact on nightjars. To increase our knowledge this topic, we monitored behavior two Neotropical nigthjars, Little nightjar (Setopagis parvula) Common pauraque (Nyctidromus albicollis), over 5 lunar cycles in Brazilian Pantanal. We tested relationships between daily output (number calls uttered) proportions calling at dusk, midnight, dawn. Our...
Abstract Tinamous (Tinamidae) are a group of Neotropical birds for which little information is available. The Undulated Tinamou ( Crypturellus undulatus ) one the most widespread species but also declining. Due to its secretive habits, ecological knowledge regarding relies on few anecdotal descriptions. We used automated recorders monitor vocal activity over an annual cycle at four sites in Brazilian Pantanal. provide description and analyze diel seasonal patterns calling this new...
Arthropods associated with the canopy of palm Attalea phalerata Mart.(Arecaceae), in Pantanal Poconé, Mato Grosso, Brazil.Six individuals A. phalerata, Poconé floodplains were sprayed a synthetic pyrethroid (0.25% concentration) order to study biomass, diversity, and richness arthropods.A total 17,188 (238.7±80.6 ind./m²) arthropods belonging 22 Orders, was collected 72 m² funnel area.Two hours after spraying, 58.9% number fell into funnels, 37.6% obtained by shaking trees, finally, 3.5%...
Três indivíduos da palmeira Attalea phalerata Mart (Arecaceae) foram amostrados durante a fase aquática (cheia) no Pantanal de Mato Grosso (fevereiro/2001) utilizando-se metodologia nebulização copas "canopy fogging". Este estudo objetivou avaliar diversidade, hábitos alimentares e distribuição espacial comunidade Formicidae em dessa que forma adensamentos monodominantes, típicos nessa região. Cada foi nebulizada uma única vez realizadas três coletas subseqüentes. Um total 966 formigas,...
Seis indivíduos de Attalea phalerata Mart. foram amostrados durante o período cheia (fase aquática) no pantanal mato-grossense (fevereiro/2001), empregando-se a metodologia nebulização copas com objetivo analisar composição, estrutura e biomassa da comunidade artrópodes associada à copa dessa espécie vegetal, bem como influência do regime hídrico sobre comunidade. Cada palmeira foi nebulizada uma única vez realizadas três coletas subseqüentes. O total 63.657 (643,0 ± 259,87 indivíduos/m²)...
Bird vocal activity is affected by endogenous and exogenous factors. Owl surveys are mainly based on the detection of nocturnal calls, therefore, impact factors owls' may have consequences in conservation planning behavioural studies. However, our current knowledge about climatic moon phase owl calling behaviour very limited, especially Neotropics. We used autonomous recording units to evaluate effect air temperature, rainfall, relative humidity, percent illuminated occurrence...
