Abstract: ABSTRACT. The Pernambuco Center of Endemism (PCE) in northeastern Brazil is highly fragmented and degraded. Despite its potential conservation importance the bird fauna in this area is still relatively unknown and there are many remnant fragments that have not been systematically surveyed. Here, we report the results of bird surveys in five forest fragments (one pioneer, two ombrophilous and two seasonal). In total, 162 taxa were recorded, 12 of which are endemic to the PCE. The frequency of endangered species… Show more

“…Compared to previous studies in the PCE, the present study found higher species richness than Lyra-Neves et al (2004), andLobo-Araújo et al (2013), probably due to particularities of different forest types, the small sizes of the fragments or differences in sampling effort and methodologies. Conversely, Roda (2004), Magalhães et al (2007) and Farias et al (2007) recorded higher values of 125, 151 and 140 species, respectively, in contrast to the 111 found in this study.…”

“…In the present study, the species was recorded mainly in the dry season, when young individuals were observed feeding on mango (Mangifera indica) and cashew fruits (Anacardium occidentale) in February. The species has also been recorded in Alagoas by Silveira et al (2003a) and Lobo-Araújo et al (2013). Studying 17 forest fragments in the state, Silveira et al (2003b) did not observe this species in the dry southern forests, where the reduced abundance of plants of the Melastomataceae family may limit the occurrence of this tanager.…”

“…Also, the ubiquitous usage of Parker's classification in academic studies in the Neotropics may be an additional reason for the continuing usage of this metric in EAs. Since its publication, this parameter has been used in many studies, as an untreated dependent variable, associated with other parameters to test the effects of fragmentation and landscape features in bird assemblages (e.g., Petit and Petit, 2003;Uezu et al, 2005;Barlow et al, 2006;Edwards 2006, Feeley et al, 2007;Hansbauer et al, 2008b;Lees and Peres, 2008;Martensen et al, 2008Martensen et al, , 2012Ferraz et al, 2012;Banks-Leite et al, 2013), as a parameter to support discussions about human disturbance effects on birds and habitat conditions (e.g., Woltmann, 2003;Oostra et al, 2008;Giacomo and Casenave, 2010;Lobo-Araújo et al, 2013) and to characterize the bird communities at a given site (e.g., Matlock Jr et al, 2002; Tejeda-Cruz Franz et al, 2010;Arendt et al, 2012;Lyra-Neves et al, 2012). However, being the most used ecological indicator in the scientific literature does not mean that it is suitable for all types of environmental assessment (Dale and Beyeler, 2001;Carignan and Villard, 2002).…”
