Is camera-trapping an efficient method for surveying mammals in Neotropical forests? A case study in south-eastern Brazil

Abstract: Although highly diverse (Fonseca et al. 1996), the Atlantic forest mammal fauna is still poorly known, with very few sites exhaustively inventoried or subjected to long-term studies (Passamani et al. 2000). Although the first surveys using camera traps were carried out in the 1920s (e.g. Chapman 1927), most studies are rather recent (Karanth & Nichols 1998). This is not different in Brazil, where few studies have been published (Marques & Ramos 2001, Santos-Filho & Silva 2002, Silveira et al. 2003,… Show more

“…Hence, it is clear that the domestic dog is very common and widely distributed in the park. Similar results were found in a camera trap study in EBSL, also in a region of Atlantic Forest (SRBEK- ARAUJO & CHIARELLO 2005 (GALETTI & SAZIMA 2006) and three domestic dogs were seen preying on an adult male C. nigritus (LUDWIG et al 2006). Thus, these reports together indicate that the impact of domestic dogs on the native fauna of Brazil is already serious enough to suggest that increased control must be adopted.…”

“…A riqueza de mamíferos não voadores registrada para Santa Teresa é igual ou maior do que a encontrada na maioria das áreas neotropicais, sendo superior à registrada em outras localidades já inventariadas de Mata Atlântica . Esta diversidade está representada por oito ordens, 22 famílias e 64 espécies, correspondendo a aproximadamente 40% das espécies de mamíferos não-voadores registradas para Mata Atlântica, apresentando 26% das consideradas endêmicas para o Bioma , SRBEK-ARAUJO & CHIARELLO 2005 As armadilhas fotográficas foram instaladas em trilhas antigas (n = 9; Bonita, Divisa D, Divisa E, Indaiaçu, Palmito, Sagui, Seca, Tapinoã e Timbuí) ou recentemente abertas (n = 3; dos Monos, Nova e dos Porcos), estando estas distribuídas por toda a reserva, totalizando 28 pontos de amostragem. Foram contempladas áreas de Mata Primária, Mata Secundária e Capoeira, classificadas de acordo com feições da vegetação (grau de comunicação entre as copas e altura do dossel em relação ao solo, densidade do sub-bosque e do estrato herbáceo).…”

“…A utilização de armadilhas fotográficas em estudos desenvolvidos no Brasil pode ser considerada recente, sendo empregadas na amostragem qualitativa da mastofauna (MARQUES & RAMOS 2001, SANTOS-FILHO & SILVA 2002, SILVEIRA et al 2003, TROLLE 2003a, b, ALVES & ANDRIOLO 2005, SRBEK-ARAUJO & CHIARELLO 2005, na realização de estudos populacionais (TROLLE & KÉRY 2003, SOISALO & CAVALCANTI 2006) e como ferramenta complementar na obtenção de dados ecológicos (SANTOS-FILHO & SILVA 2002, TROLLE 2003b, JÁCOMO et al 2004, ALVES & ANDRIOLO 2005, MIRANDA et al 2005, GALETTI et al 2006.
