In natural and altered environments, the Ecosystem Services (ES) provided by the presence of vegetation, especially regulating ES such as climate regulation and air pollutant removal, are essential to improve human health and well-being. In this study, we focused on a tropical-subtropical river basin which covers urban, peri-urban and rural landsca...
Hummingbirds are specialized in consumption of nectar and play an important role in Neotropical plant communities acting as pollinator organisms. Despite the importance of this mutualistic interaction, studies about hummingbird-plant relationships remain scarce regarding the Cerrado domain (Brazilian savanna). In this study, we aimed to describe th...
We aimed to investigate the fire effects on four species that depend on riparian ecosystems of São Francisco River, Serra da Canastra, Minas Gerais, Brazil. The Sharp-tailed Streamcreeper (Lochmias nematura) did not change the use of habitat, but the Sooty Tyrannulet (Serpophaga nigricans) actively searched for food at farther distances from the ri...
Grasslands are characteristic physiognomies of the Brazilian Cerrado domain. One of last remnants of these threatened environments in the state of São Paulo is located in Itirapina Ecological Station, considered as an Important Bird Area (IBA). We investigated bird assemblages that use seasonally flooded grasslands, and predominantly dry grasslands...
The present study aimed to survey the avian community in caatinga vegetation of Serra do Pará massif within the "agreste" region of Pernambuco, Brazil. We recorded a total of 140 species of 43 families. Analyses of community structure and composition show that among the species listed, approximately 46% are non-passerines, and 54% are passerines, w...
To support future forest recovery projects based on plant-animal interactions, this work aimed to evaluate the ornithochoric species and fruit consumption by birds in both a mosaic of seasonal semideciduous forest and a mixed reforested area in Rio Claro, Sao Paulo, Brazil. By monitoring and evaluating fruiting and frugivory events in focal and ad...
This study compared niche breath, prey size, and diet variability in two pairs of sympatric species of terrestrial insectivorous birds, each pair containing one species that can persist in small forest fragments and one that does not. The pairs were Myrmeciza ferruginea and Sclerurus rufigularis; and Formicarius colma and F. analis, respectively. T...

... A composição da comunidade de aves de determinadas fitofisionomias semiabertas brasileiras é um tema recorrente na literatura, tais como as encontradas nas distintas formações do Cerrado (Tubelis & Cavalcanti 2000, Tubelis & Cavalcanti 2001, Cardoso da Silva & Battes 2002, Willis 2004, Straube et al. 2005, Piratelli & Blake 2006, Motta-Junior et al. 2008, Tubelis 2009, Lopes et al. 2010, Dornas & Crozariol 2012, Kanegae et al. 2012, Fieker et al. 2013, Rodrigues et al. 2016, Cavarzere & Arantes 2017, da Caatinga (Silva et al. 2003, Pacheco 2004, Santos 2004, Olmos et al. 2005, Ruiz-Esparza et al. 2011), e dos Pampas (Di Giacomo & Krapovickas 2005, Azpiroz et al. 2012, além de restingas (Gonzaga et al. 2000, Rocha et al. 2005, Gomes et al. 2008, Lima 2010, Almeida et al. 2012, Mota et al. 2012. Porém são mais escassas informações sobre as aves de formações semiabertas que ocorrem como enclaves em regiões florestais, como as campinaranas amazônicas (Aleixo & Poletto 2007, Guilherme & Borges 2011, cangas (Pacheco et al. 2007) e as muçunungas dos tabuleiros costeiros do leste do Brasil (Cordeiro 2003, Venturini & Paz 2005, Faria et al. 2016. ...

... Para as aves, outros fatores podem explicar a variação na composição das espécies visitadas. Diferenças nas frequências de visitas e no tempo de permanência nas espécies, por exemplo, podem estar relacionados com a abundância dos recursos alimentares na área de estudo, a sazonalidade na fenologia de frutificação das plantas na comunidade, a preferência alimentar por parte das aves, e a exclusão competitiva através da territorialidade e dos encontros agonísticos (Las-Casas et al., 2012b). ...

... Another potential mechanism for elevational shifts is tracking prey availability -biomass of arthropods in the leaf litter drops with soil moisture (Levings andWindsor 1984, Jirinec et al. 2016), including seasonal reductions in the DS (Willis 1976, Pearson and Derr 1986, McKinnon et al. 2015, and vertical movements within the leaf litter (Usher 1970). Mestre et al. (2010) quantified prey in regurgitated samples of F. analis at the BDFFP, predominantly finding ants (Formicidae; ~55%). In Panama, ant activity dropped by 25% in the DS and was > 200% higher in ravines than exposed plateaus (Kaspari and Weiser 2000). ...

... In the present study, birds of the families Thraupidae, Pipridae, and Tyrannidae were the main seed dispersers in both native forest and eucalyptus plantation. Fadini & De Marco (2004), Lopes et al. (2005) and Athie & Dias (2012) pointed out some of the same species found on the present study, such as C. caudata, Tangara sayaca (Linnaeus, 1766), T. coronatus and Turdus rufiventris Vieillot, 1818, as being fundamental to the interaction network of potential seed dispersers in the Atlantic Forest of the southeastern Brazil. These species are considered tolerant to the presence of exotic monocultural species, for having a generalist diet and a wide distribution, being equally registered in preserved native vegetation and in eucalyptus plantations along the Atlantic Forest domain (Machado & Lamas, 1996;Manhaes et al., 2010). ...
