“…Therefore, we suggest that behavior of other Phylloscartes species be taken into account when choosing density estimation methods (Buckland et al 2001, Burnham et al 2004, Buckland et al 2015. CSP bird species richness (326 species; Tonetti personal observation) is similar to another Atlantic Forest reserve 70 km from our study area in Serra do Mar: the Boracéia Biological Station (323 species; Cavarzere et al 2010). Serra do Mar, the largest Atlantic Forest patch (~1,000,000 ha; Ribeiro et al 2009), comprises several pristine forest remmants and the similarity between CSP and the Boracéia Biological Station bird richness indicates that despite its proximity to large urban centers, the Serra da Cantareira avifauna is well preserved (Bencke et al 2006).…”

Artículo de publicación ISIAn understanding of the ecological factors determining bird species’ distributions is essential for making informed conservation decisions. These data are especially important for range-restricted species, such as the Santa Marta Bush- Tyrant (Myiotheretes pernix), a threatened endemic of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta (SNSM) in Colombia. Here we adopt a novel hierarchical analysis to describe the bush-tyrant’s ecological niche and infer the regional and local determinants of its limited distribution. We first describe habitat selection based on local habitat use and microhabitats used for foraging. We then use a geoprocessing modeling algorithm to combine habitat selection data with a climatic niche model. The resulting model produced an index of habitat suitability, which we converted into a predicted geographic distribution. Santa Marta Bush-Tyrants showed no clear habitat preferences, but favored forested and secondary growth habitats over open areas, at elevations between 2,100 and 3,300 m. The species’ predicted distribution was restricted to the northern flanks of the SNSM, with an estimated extent of ~352 km2. This estimate is more restricted than previous estimates (570 km2), but does not alter the species’ status as Endangered based on IUCN criteria. The model predicted that the presence of Santa Marta Bush-Tyrants was regionally dependent on cold and humid climates, with low annual variation in temperature and precipitation. Locally, the species’ presence was determined by the availability of habitat edges between forests and open areas. Conservation actions should aim to reduce rates of forest loss, while maintaining the presence of areas with good light and exposed perches, microhabitat conditions typically found in habitat edges or areas of natural disturbance. An explicit integration of quantitative data on habitat use and foraging patterns into niche models would help to obtain more realistic and detailed projections of the occupied distribution of range-restricted birds

Abstract:The biodiversity inventory in protected areas from Atlantic Forest can increase knowledge about species distribution and contribute to monitoring and management actions that enhance the ecosystems conservation. Our objectives were to characterize bird assemblages at Carlos Botelho State Park, São Paulo southeastern Brazil, regarding species composition, relative abundance and association with local vegetation types. Sampling was conducted between April 2006 and December 2009 by transects, resulting in 1,000 hours of sampling effort. We recorded 331 species, most showed relative abundance lower than 100 detections. Twenty-five species are threatened in the state of São Paulo.

Samplings were performed from July 2012 to June 2013, in twelve monthly expeditions to the Boraceia Biological Station (Estação Biológica de Boraceia-EBB), Salesópolis, São Paulo. Hawkmoths were attracted using outdoor light bulbs of one of the EBB's houses, during four consecutive nights, from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. Each individual's collecting time and sex were registered, as well as climatic data every half hour. Specimens were taken to the Museu de Zoologia da Universidade de São Paulo (MZUSP), where they were identified to species and counted. Diversity analyses included rarefaction curve, richness estimator, descriptive graphics of composition, evenness, richness and abundance (by month and time of sampling), and multivariate statistics. Graphics of richness and abundance by temperature and relative humidity were constructed to assess the effect of these climatic variables on sampling, and the influence of fog and rainfall was examined by applying the Mann-Whitney test. Qui-square tests were performed to check whether the sex ratio differed from 1:1, in totality, by month and by time of sampling. Hawkmoths collected in the EBB since 1940 are available at MZUSP. They were identified and counted for elaboration of a historical overview of the local sphingofauna, and to allow comparison between an intense sampling carried out from 1948 to 1950 in the EBB and the recent sampling. This comparison was performed by means of rarefaction curves, descriptive graphics of richness and composition, and multivariate statistics. All species ever recorded in the EBB were photographed for the production of an illustrated guide. In the present study, a total of 2,509 hawkmoths, belonging to 64 species, were collected. Three of these species corresponded to new records for the EBB, and the list of species recorded in the Station reached the amount of 81. The rainiest and hottest months showed the highest richness, abundances and evenness. The species composition maintained relatively homogeneous during these months but it largely varied during the driest months; this pattern was also noticed in the sampling from 1948 to 1950. Abundance and richness decreased throughout the night, and the species composition underwent many changes. Higher temperatures, fog and rainfall were favorable to hawkmoth sampling. Sex ratio was generally skewed toward males. No significant difference in richness was found between the former and the recent sampling, but many species were recorded in only one of them. Comparisons with surveys on other sphingofaunas showed that some possibly rare species occur in the EBB and that this locality holds one of the highest Sphingidae richness in the Brazilian Atlantic Rainforest.
