“…On an ampler, and more directly comparable scale, the mammalian faunas recorded in fragments of Atlantic Forest in other regions of Brazil, such as São Paulo and Minas Gerais, were between 52% and 67% similar to that recorded in the present study (Magioli et al, 2014;Machado et al, 2016;Laurindo et al, 2017;Bovo et al, 2018 The similarities were even greater in comparison with fragments of Cerrado savanna, protected or otherwise, with an average of 83% of species in common (Rodrigues et al, 2002;Bocchiglieri et al, 2010;Campos et al, 2013;Leite et al, 2016;Cabral et al, 2017), reflecting the considerable influence of this biome on the mammalian fauna of the study area. The species richness recorded in the present study is probably also a reflection of the vegetation structure of the fragments surveyed, which are formed predominantly by seasonal semi-deciduous Atlantic Forest in transition with areas of Cerrado savanna (Melo et al 2013).…”
