Mesoscale bird distribution pattern in montane phytophysiognomies along an ecot...

Brazil has a high diversity of birds and presents the largest number of threatened bird species in the neotropical region. Even so, there are gaps in the bird knowledge, especially in ecotonal montane regions. Given this panorama, this study aimed to analyse the bird community distribution (richness, composition, and beta diversity between phytophysiognomies) of an ecotonal montane landscape of southeastern Bra...

Efeitos do fogo nas florestas - as queimadas em Roraima.

Bird community of upper-montane rupestrian fields in South of Minas Gerais Stat...

Studies about the birds of rupestrian fields in the south of Minas Gerais State in Southeastern Brazil are incomplete, although this region is ornithologically well studied. This bird community has closely associated ecology with fields and the most endangered species of the Cerrado domain. The objective of this manuscript is to create a list of birds which occur in the rupestrian fields of seven municipalities...

Composição florística do compartimento arbóreo de cinco remanescentes florestai...

Para composição de uma lista florística de espécies arbóreas das florestas do maciço do Itatiaia, foram inventariadas cinco áreas de floresta ombrófila montana situadas nos municípios de Bocaina de Minas e Aiuruoca, sul de Minas Gerais, e Resende, sudoeste do Rio de Janeiro. A listagem de espécies resultou de levantamentos florísticos conduzidos nas cinco áreas, acompanhados de levantamentos fitossociológicos e...

Species composition and frequency of habitat use by medium and large-sized mamm...

The Cerrado biome is the second largest natural vegetation type existing in Brazil after the Amazon, covering 91% of the State of Tocantins, with 30% of the territory changed as a result of the expansion of economic development areas. The substitution of natural vegetation means habitat loss on species, and may put the survival of medium and large-sized mammal species under extinction risk. These species repres...

A probabilistic model for tropical tree seed desiccation tolerance and storage ...

Knowledge of seed desiccation tolerance is fundamental for conservation and use of forest species. The protocol used for classification of seed desiccation tolerance and storage is time consuming and many times limited by the lack of information about optimum conditions for seed germination and treatments to overcome seed dormancy. This study evaluated 66 Brazilian tree species aiming to correlate seed characte...
