A comparison of bird communities in natural and revegetated grasslands in south Brazil

Abstract: Natural grasslands are declining due to loss, fragmentation and degradation, resulting in the decline of grassland-associated bird species. The Pampas Biome in south Brazil is not exception to this worldwide trend, facing the expansion of croplands and afforestation with exotic tree plantations for cellulose production. To cope with the continuous degradation and loss of grasslands, restoration is an important conservation strategy, but basic information regarding the response of the fauna to restoration pract… Show more

“…As suggested, food resources, perching structures, and breeding sites can be some of the primary limiting factors in the species distributions and preferences within a given habitat (Cody 1985, Hutto 1985, Jones 2001. Studies on the effects of secondary succession in forests have shown that in general, early successional bird communities include more generalist granivorous, omnivorous and insectivorous species, considered as pioneer species indicative of disturbance (Rangel-Salazar et al 2009, Becker et al 2013. As succession progresses, structural diversity of vegetation increases and, depending on the community composition, specialized frugivorous, nectarivorous, and specialized insectivorous species (soil, bark, understory and foliage gleaning) colonize the habitat and increase in numbers (May 1982, Winkler 2005, Rangel-Salazar et al 2009.…”

Becker et al (2013) found that bird communities in restored mining areas in southern Brazil had similar species richness between sites after 10-20 years of abandonment, although differences in the abundance of species according to feeding guild were evident: granivorous species decreased, whereas carnivorous, frugivorous, and nectarivorous increased (especially those forests dependent species); omnivorous species remained stable. Their findings suggest that effects could be reflected through changes in functional groups, or can be species specific.…”
