“…As F. adhatodifolia presents a syconia production during this period, the species provides resources for frugivores in this period of reduced food supply. Field observations and literature data on the use of F. adhatodifolia in feeding animal species in MGSP (Muller and Reis, 1992) reinforce this idea. Third, the density of species in the study area (about six individuals.ha -1 ) and the large size of the individuals (crown developed) could ensure large syconia production which could feed the associated frugivorous.…”

“…In addition to the species observed feeding on F. adhatodifolia syconia (Table 4), six species of bats (Muller and Reis, 1992) and three terrestrial mammals species (W. J. Rocha, personal observations) use the species as a resource food.…”

“…Several species of bats are found in MGSP (Muller and Reis, 1992) that consume F. eximia syconia, like Artibeus jamaicensis Leach, 1821 (Sekiama and Rocha, 2006). Brotogeris tirica (Gmelin, 1788) (Green Parakeet) and Cebus apella (capuchin monkey) that occurring in the MGSP are also described in the literature as a consumer of F. eximia syconia (Shanahan et al, 2001).…”

Phenology of two Ficus species in seasonal semi-deciduous forest in Southern Brazil

We analyzed the phenology of Ficus adhatodifolia Schott ex Spreng. (23 fig tree) and F. eximia Schott (12 fig tree) for 74 months in a remnant of seasonal semi-deciduous forest (23°27'S and 51°15'W), Southern Brazil and discussed their importance to frugivorous. Leaf drop, leaf flush, syconia production and dispersal were recorded. These phenophases occurred year-round, but seasonal peaks were recorded in both leaf phenophases for F. eximia and leaf flushing for F. adhatodifolia. Climatic variables analyzed were positively correlated with reproductive phenophases of F. adhatodifolia and negatively correlated with the vegetative phenophases of F. eximia. In despite of environmental seasonality, little seasonality in the phenology of two species was observed, especially in the reproductive phenology. Both species were important to frugivorous, but F. adhatodifolia can play a relevant role in the remnant. Keywords

Time and seasonal patterns of activity of phyllostomid in fragments of a stational semidecidual forest from the Upper Paraná River, Southern Brazil

Bats may exhibit different patterns of activity, considering aspects concerning niche dynamics as well as the establishment and permanence of the communities in the ecosystems. In this way, the present study analyzed the time and seasonal patterns of activity in different species of frequent phyllostomid bats in remnants of the stational semidecidual forest from the Upper Paraná River, Southern Brazil. Captures were performed between January and December, 2006, using 32 mist nets set above the soil along the nocturnal period during the four seasons of the year. The daily and seasonal patterns of activity of each species was modeled using generalized linear models with Poisson error. The best model was selected using Akaike's Information Criterion (AICc). Artibeus planirostris (Spix, 1823) did not exhibit a conspicuous time pattern, whereas A. lituratus (Olfers, 1818) was more frequent after the sixth hour and A. fimbriatus Gray, 1838 had an activity increase along the night. Platyrrhinus lineatus (E. Geoffroy, 1810) was registered during all sampling hours. Carollia perspicillata (Linnaeus, 1758) and Sturnira lilium (E. Geoffroy, 1810) were the most active during the first four hours. Concerning seasonal pattern, the highest activity of these species was verified during the summer. These data contribute to the information about the ecology of bats in the region, highlighting the high adaptive potential of the species studied in relation to the use of space throughout the night and in to variations in environmental conditions.

“…This assemblage is mostly frugivorous, being probably seed dispersers of this wild tomato species (MARCONDES-MACHADO & OLIVEIRA 1988, MÜLLER & REIS 1992, REIS et al 1993, GALETTI & MORELLATO 1994, POULIN et al 1994, SAZIMA et al 1994, CÁCERES 2002, except for small rodents that are most probably seed predators (e.g. PERRY & FLEMING 1980, JANZEN 1982.…”

A study of removal of fruits of the wild tomato, Solanum granulosoleprosum Dunal (N = 5 plants), by vertebrates was carried out in an urban environment of southern Brazil from January to May 1997 and February 1998. To verify diurnal and nocturnal removals, fruits were counted in several fruit bunches, being classified by size and color. Diurnal observations were made on plants to verify bird removal. A mist net was placed among the plants from the evening to 23:00 h to verify bat consumption. Live traps baited with S. granulosoleprosum fruits were placed on the ground among plants to verify terrestrial removers. On average it was found two ripe fruits available per bunch/day, but unripe, small, fruits were dominant (70%). Nocturnal mammals and birds-diurnal mammals partitioned fruits similarly. Bats removing fruits were Artibeus lituratus (Olfers, 1818), Pygoderma bilabiatum (Wagner, 1843) and Sturnira lilium (E. Geoffroy, 1810). Birds were Saltator similis Lafresnaye & d'Orbigny, 1837 and Thraupis sayaca (Linnaeus, 1766). Terrestrial mammals were a marsupial and three rodent species. Except for rodents, these vertebrates must be promoting the seed dispersal of S. granulosoleprosum seeds in disturbed mixed forests of southern Brazil
