Habitat use by Collared Crescentchest (Melanopareia torquata) in a Cerrado in southeastern Brazil: implications for management

Abstract: The Collared Crescentchest (Melanopareia torquata) is a small insectivore endemic to the Cerrado. We examine the habitat use of this bird in a preserved Cerrado area in southeastern Brazil. Despite its occurrence in grassland with shrubs, the species used these areas less frequently than expected. The Collared Crescentchest mainly used areas of campo cerrado, but it was not recorded in a disturbed one. The common occurrence of exotic grass (U. decumbens) and cattle grazing may have brought about factors for it… Show more

“…Key approaches to improve knowledge of this bird assemblage include analyses of habitat use via BARCI designs (Before-After Reference ControlImpact), and population size estimates for species of conservation concern (e.g. Kanegae 2011, Kanegae et al 2012a, 2012b. Conservation of the grassland and savanna biota at Santa Bá rbara Ecological Station in the medium and long terms is a challenge that must be faced with management grounded on scientific research.…”
