“…The highest numbers of birds roosting in the reserve were recorded from March to October, which corresponds to the non-breeding season of the local avifauna (Maurício et al 2013), and when the water level in wetlands is higher. Despite the fact that large numbers of birds roost within the reserve, we found no evidences of colonial breeding of waterbirds in the area.…”

Abstract:The Reserva Biológica do Mato Grande encompasses 5,161 hectares of wetlands, restinga forests and grasslands in southern Brazil. Aiming to assemble a list of bird species occurring in the reserve, we carried out 21 monthly expeditions from July 2007 to March 2009 and an additional visit on October 2014, totaling 341 hours of sampling. We additionally searched for records in online databases and museums. In total, 211 species of birds were found, compared to 223.83 (SD = 3.88) and 214.68 (SD = 4.71) species respectively predicted through Jackknife 2 and Chao 2 estimations. Plegadis chihi was the most abundant bird roosting in the reserve. The area is important for the conservation of Circus cinereus, Spartonoica maluroides, Limnoctites rectirostris and Sporophila palustris, which are considered threatened or near-threatened in state, national and/ or global levels. We emphasize the urgent need of implementing the Reserva Biológica do Mato Grande in order to conserve the regional avifauna.

“…For instance, among animals including mice and bats, lichens are used as food (Kumor et al 2009), and some birds use Parmotrema spp. lichens as nesting material (Maurício et al 2013, Mercado-Díaz et al 2015.…”

Parmotrema species in a cloud forest region turned into an urban zone in Xalapa, Veracruz, Mexico SUMMARYThe cloud forest of Mexico has the highest biodiversity among the country's diverse forest types; however, 90 % of the cloud forest ecosystem in the region of Xalapa has been destroyed and what remains is at risk. This region is home to an enormous diversity of lichen species. In a lichen survey carried out in this remnant of cloud forest in Xalapa, which has been turned into an urban area, we identified only eight species of Parmotrema, all of which showed vegetative propagules. Regardless of the role of the genus in the ecosystems, these lichens may be disappearing as a result of the transformation and destruction of the cloud forest ecosystem in Mexico.Key words: Parmotrema, cloud forest, Xalapa Region, Mexico. RESUMENEl bosque mesófilo de montaña es de los ecosistemas más diversos que hay en el México; sin embargo, en la región de Xalapa el 90 % ha sido destruido y el resto está en riesgo. La región alberga gran diversidad de líquenes. En este sitio de estudio, que fue un remanente de bosque mesófilo de montaña transformado a zona urbana, se identificaron solo ocho especies pertenecientes al género Parmotrema, todas ellas presentaron propágulos vegetativos. No obstante la importancia del género en los ecosistemas, estos líquenes están en riesgo de desaparecer como resultado de la transformación y destrucción del ecosistema en México.Palabras clave: Parmotrema, bosque mesófilo, región de Xalapa, México.

Tinamus solitarius (Vieillot, 1819), the Solitary Tinamou, was observed in the central region of Rio Grande do Sul state, on the western portion of the Serra Geral escarpment, in the municipality of Itaara. This population is the most austral of the species and is isolated from the 2 other populations that inhabit Rio Grande do Sul: 1 in Turvo State Park and the other in the eastern portion of the Serra Geral escarpment.
