“…In addition, this study showed a high heterogeneity in the effect of roadside edges on nest predation across studies (Vetter et al, ). There have been few experimental studies on the factors affecting nest predation intensity near habitat edges in tropical forests ( Coelho, ; Marini et al, ), especially regarding forest edges associated with roads (Batáry & Báldi, ; Vetter et al, ). Therefore, it is important to perform more studies to assess the influence of fragmentation processes and edge effects related to different types of adjacent land uses (Vetter et al, ), to understand the effects of edges associated with roads.…”

Road construction is considered to be one of the primary causes of forest fragmentation, and little is known about how roads affect bird reproductive success. The objective of this study was to assess the survival rate of artificial nests along an edge associated with a highway and in the interior of a tabuleiro forest. The study was performed at the Sooretama Biological Reserve, on the margins of federal highway BR‐101, between September and October 2015. A total of 168 artificial nests with a Common quail ( Coturnix coturnix ) egg in each nest were placed along six sampling transects, at distances of 2, 25, 50, 100, 200, 400, and 800 m from the highway toward the forest interior. We used logistic regression and estimated daily survival rate (DSR) using the “Nest Survival” function in the program MARK to estimate artificial nest survival and assessed the effect of the distance from the highway. The artificial nest survival rate was significantly higher on the highway margins than at other distances. The results show that artificial nests located up to 25 m from the highway have a greater success probability (over 95%) and a significant decrease in success probability more than 50 m from the highway. Although we cannot rule out other nonroad‐specific edge effects on artificial nest predation, our results suggest that the impacts of the highway (e.g., noise, vibration, visual stimuli) cause predators to avoid the road's surroundings (up to 25 m into the forest) when selecting their feeding sites, which partially supports the predation release hypothesis.

“…Em relação aos pequenos mamíferos, vários estudos mostraram evidências de que para estes animais a vegetação linear funciona como corredores, embora possa também servir como habitat "residência" (ROSENBERG et al, 1997;COELHO, 1999;SOUZA et al, 2003).…”

Study of the expansion of geographic areas of american cutaneous leishmaniasis (ACL) transmission in the region of Campinas -State of São Paulo -Brazil. Purpose of Study. Having in mind the raise of american cutaneous leishmaniasis since the 1980's in the region of Campinas-SP with the emergence of other transmission areas, a study aiming the elucidation of the disease's expansiveness in this region was accomplished. Method. The study was carried out in 14 cities considered as recent transmitters in the last decades. Personal peculiarities as sex, aging and occupation, besides the growth and demographic density in each city were studied. The percentage of covering
