“…However, surveys of the avian fauna are available for only three of these areas (D'Horta et al 2005;Ruiz-Esparza et al 2011;Lyra-Neves et al 2012). In 2007, the state government decreed the Mata do Junco Wildlife Refuge in the municipality of Capela, with the primary objective of protecting the local populations of endangered species endemic to the Atlantic Forest of northeastern Brazil, in particular the Coimbra Filho's Titi Monkey (Callicebus coimbrai) and the Fringe-backed Fire-eye (Pyriglena atra).…”

Abstract:This study presents an inventory of the bird fauna of the Mata do Junco State Wildlife Refuge in Capela, in the northeastern Brazilian state of Sergipe. Monthly samples were collected between January 2011 and May 2012. Each 3-day sample was based on mistnetting (100 m) in two areas and the compilation of MacKinnon lists of 10 species. During the 17 months of the study period, the occurrence of 129 bird species belonging to 41 families was confirmed for the study area. In the mist-nets, a total of 469 individuals representing 58 species were captured in 3400 net-hours of sampling effort. A total of 100 MacKinnon lists were compiled, resulting in an inventory of 119 bird species. Eight of the species are endemic to Brazil, of which, five are restricted to the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. Three of the species are included in the IUCN Red List, at different levels of concern. Overall, the results of the study indicate that the Mata do Junco represents an important area for the protection of the region's avian fauna and the habitats they rely on.

“…This contribution is maximized by the presence of pollinators that visit different individuals during flowering period. Locatelli and Machado (1999) pointed out that the hummingbird Chlorostilbon lucidus (Shaw 1812) (Apodiformes: Trochilidae) is the main pollinator of T. palmadora and Ruiz-Esparza et al (2011) pointed out that C. lucidus is distributed in the studied population area. The low number of plants in the largest age categories is justified by the fact that the area where we developed this study was recently assigned to creation of a conservation unit.…”

Plant age is a factor that influences production of flowers in some species. In some cacti, new cladodes and flowers buds grow from areolar meristems located in the cladodes. It is possible to determine the age of the cactus by counting the maximum number of cladodes present in a branch. Among the species of cacti that present annual vegetative growth determined by the climatic seasons is the species Tacinga palmadora. The objective of this study was to determine the initial reproductive age of this species and to evaluate the relation between the age of T. palmadora individuals and the number of flowers produced. The study was conducted at the Grota do Angico Natural Monument, in the municipality of Poço Redondo in Sergipe state in September 2017. Two hundred and seventeen individuals of T. palmadora were analyzed in the study area. In each individual, where counted the number of flowers and the number of cladodes present in the largest branch from the base, thus estimating the age of each individual. A positive and significant relation was observed between average number of flowers produced and age of individuals of T. palmadora in the evaluated population. Highlighted Conclusion Tacinga palmadora presents a greater number of flowers in older individuals due to the greater number of cladodes.

“…Os produtores de goiaba demonstraram conhecer poucas espécies de aves da região. O número de aves conhecidas pelos produtores entrevistados corresponde a apenas 23,3% do total de 197 espécies já registradas para o semiárido sergipano [37,38,39,40]. No entanto, este resultado foi maior que o encontrado por Ruiz-Esparza (2014) [40], que verificou a percepção de agricultores no assentamento Jacaré-Curituba, Alto Sertão sergipano; e semelhante ao encontrado por Silva-Andrade et al (2016) [17], que investigaram a percepção de agricultores convencionais e nãoconvencionais no semiárido pernambucano.…”

A presença de aves em agroecossistemas pode aumentar significativamente a produção agrícola e os valores de marcado, por meio, especialmente, do controle de pragas, importante serviço ecossistêmico, mas que não costuma ser percebido pelos agricultores. Deste modo, esta pesquisa buscou investigar e compreender a percepção dos produtores de goiaba (Psidium guajava L.) do Alto Sertão sergipano sobre a avifauna silvestre local, a fim contribuir para a conservação da avifauna e para o desenvolvimento de práticas agrícolas mais sustentáveis. Os dados foram coletados de julho de 2017 a março de 2018, por meio de entrevistas estruturadas com 85 produtores de goiaba. Foi citado um total de 50 espécies de aves pelos entrevistados. Cerca de 70% dos produtores entrevistados afirmaram que as aves visitam as plantações para se alimentar das goiabas, causando prejuízos econômicos. Poucos produtores percebem as aves como elementos importantes dentro do sistema agrícola, realizando poucas práticas para sua proteção. Assim, faz-se necessário estimular a percepção positiva dos produtores sobre a interação das aves com o ambiente agrícola, uma vez que esses animais podem fornecer importantes serviços ecossistêmicos (ex., controle de pragas).
