... In addition, studies comprising specific data on the incidence of bird species play fundamental role in the process to better understand and conserve the biodiversity of a given region (Godoi et al., 2012;Souza et al., 2015). Fauna-survey studies can provide information about bird populations' responses to environmental changes (Baesse, 2015), as well as describe the composition of a bird community living in a given region to diagnose whether there are rare and endangered species among the recorded ones (Cavarzere et al., 2009). ...
Piauí is inserted between two important biomes, the Cerrado and the Caatinga. The transition areas, demonstrate unique characteristics and derived from adjacent biomes, thus presenting a high number of species of different types of habitats. Studies that have specific data on the occurrence of species are essential for the knowledge and conservation of the biodiversity of a region. The article aims to present the species of birds recorded in the state of Piauí, analysing the conservation status of the species. For this survey a systematic review is being used through indexers such as Google Scholar, Scielo and virtual libraries of Higher Education Institutions. A single table with all the species found in the surveys and maps was made to help visualize the municipalities that have scientific publications. The state of Piauí has 224 municipalities, of these only 35 have a survey of the avifauna with 143 publications between 1982 and 2022, which recorded 487 species of birds in the territory of Piauí. Of these records 36 species (7.4%) are classified with some degree of threat according to the IUCN and MMA. The studies are concentrated in the north and south, with few studies in the center of the state. Analyzing the map of the state of Piauí it was possible to observe that the Conservation Units are also concentrated in the northern and southern regions of the state. Thus, most of the studies were carried out in Conservation Units, and the surveys found outside Conservation Units are within Priority Areas for Conservation.

Abstract. Several phytogeographic regions (Cerrado, Pantanal, Atlantic Forest, Gran Chaco, and Chiquitano Dry Forests) converge in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, and influence regional biodiversity. Despite a list of birds in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul being published by Nunes et al. (2017), it is necessary to update and critically review avifauna records. In this study, we gathered the results of several records obtained from species lists and online data platforms of the 336 sites in this state over the last decades and grouped them into Main (Primary and Secondary) and Tertiary Lists. The avifauna of Mato Grosso do Sul is composed of 678 species, of which 643 (95%) have records proving their occurrence (Primary List), whereas 34 still lack documentation (Secondary List). The number of related species for Mato Grosso do Sul represents 34% of the Brazilian avifauna. Some species stand out for their unique occurrence in Mato Grosso do Sul, such as Melanerpes cactorum, Celeus lugubris, Phaethornis subochraceus, and Cantorchilus guarayanus, reflecting the influence of different phytogeographic regions of the Chaco and Chiquitano Dry Forests. Migrants represent 20% of the bird community occurring in the state, of which 93 species correspond to migrants from various regions of South America (south and west) and 40 to boreal migrants. Thirty-three species perform nomadic movements across the Pantanal Plain and other regions of the state. Thirty-one species are included in some conservation-threatened categories of global and/or national endangered species lists. Other 30 species are included in the near-threatened category at the global level and 23 at the national level. In addition, species typical of dry forests (in Serra da Bodoquena and Urucum Massif) and those from the Atlantic Forest in the south of the state deserve attention due to their restricted distribution and the high anthropogenic pressure on their habitat.
... The harpy eagle, Harpia harpyja, (Fig. 1) is perceived by local people as a livestock predator throughout its Neotropical distribution range (Sick, 1984;Trinca, Ferrari & Lees, 2008;Curti & Valdez, 2009;Godoi et al., 2012). Harpy eagles are apex predators that prey on >100 species of arboreal vertebrates (Miranda, 2018). ...
Apex predators are widely threatened globally and generally considered a priority on the conservation biology agenda. The harpy eagle, Harpia harpyja, is an apex predator threatened by habitat loss and persecution and a flagship species for Neotropical conservation. We investigated the roles of social, economic and environmental factors related to livestock depredation by harpy eagles, causes of reported harpy eagle persecution by local landholders and the intent of future harpy eagle killings. We explored these issues using structured interviews with 184 local livestock owners, who had admitted killing a combined total of 181 harpy eagles. We found that livestock abundance and livestock husbandry were the best positive predictors of levels of self‐reported livestock predation by harpy eagles. Domestic livestock reported to be killed by harpy eagles (192) were mainly chickens (47.9%), followed by goats (22.4%), pigs (18.2%) and sheep (8.3%), with pets representing only ~3% of kills. Few harpy eagle killings were related to livestock predation, which accounted for less than 20% of all eagles killed. Instead, the main reason for killing harpy eagles was simple curiosity, and many interviewees reported later regretting their acts. Regarding intent to kill harpy eagles in the future, interviewees’ perceptions of the threat posed to livestock and humans by eagles, and the subjective norm, were unrelated to intent to kill harpy eagles further. The single most important factor in predicting intent to kill harpy eagles was whether the interviewee had suffered livestock predation by eagles in the past. Additionally, the intention to kill eagles was negatively associated with landholding size. Most of our interviewees were relatively large landowners, but they are typically outnumbered by smallholders who are more likely to persecute harpy eagles. Consequently, education, compensation and tourism activities should be directed to smallholders to mitigate unnecessary persecution and mortality of harpy eagles.
... This record confirms the occurrence of the buff-fronted owl, Aegolius harrisii, in the Brazilian state of Pernambuco, which resolves a long-standing lacuna in the inventory of the state's avian fauna. Reports of this type are important for providing basic ecological data on poorly-known species, in particular distribution records, which are essential for the development of effective environmental management strategies (Piacentini et al., 2006;Godoi et al., 2012). Records of the rare, threatened or poorly-known species from data-poor areas are essential for the understanding of the local biota and the planning of effective conservation measures (Godoi et al., 2012). ...

We present new records of Gray-bellied Hawk, Accipiter poliogaster (Temminck, 1824), and Rufous-thighed Hawk, A. striatus erythronemius (Kaup, 1850), from northeastern Brazil and review the occurrence of these species in this region. While A. s. erythronemius occurs in secondary forests in the semi-arid regions of northeast Brazil, A. poliogaster seems to be associated more with mature and wet forests and not in the Caatinga scrub.

... In the gradient of riparian forests and submontane forests of our study area three species were recorded, Harpia harpyja and Spizaetus ornatus, which are near extinction on a global level (IUCN 2015), and Spizaetus melanoleucus. The presence of these species in the Maciço do Urucum indicates that the local forests are still capable of maintaining populations of forest raptors, demonstrating the importance of the preservation of these areas, and showing that the occurrence of these species in the western Brazil depends on the maintenance of continuous natural areas (Godoi et al. 2012). In altitudinal grasslands of the Maciço do Urucum we observed 16 bird species, four of which were found only in these areas. ...
Different vegetation types are distributed in mountains according to altitude, topography and soil. The composition and structure of bird communities in these areas can change in relation to the vegetation gradient, with particular communities occupying each habitat type. In this study we present the changes in composition, species richness and bird abundance over the gradient of forests, savannas and altitudinal grasslands of Maciço do Urucum, a mountainous region located in the Chiquitano Dry Forests domain in western Brazil. We recorded 165 bird species through qualitative and quantitative methods. Forested savannas, riparian forests and submontane forests presented the highest richness and abundance of birds, while arboreal savannas and altitudinal grasslands had intermediate and low values, respectively. The bird composition was similar between riparian and submontane forests, while other vegetation types present more dissimilar bird communities. Our results show differences in composition, richness and bird abundance among the vegetation types present at Maciço do Urucum, and highlight an important function of vegetation gradients for the conservation of bird communities in mountains. Additionally, this is the first study of the bird communities in the Brazilian Chiquitano Dry Forests, an important domain in the west of Brazil which has been poorly studied.
... The harpy eagle Harpia harpyja is the world's largest living eagle, weighing between 4.8 and 7.6 kg (Sick 1984, Ferguson-Lees & Christie 2001. In Central and South America, harpy eagles are threatened by retaliation for predation (imagined and real) on domestic animals, habitat loss, use as food, and by curious settlers and colonists who want to see the birds closer at hand (Trinca et al. 2008, Godoi et al. 2012, Freitas et al. 2014). The species is distributed over forest ecosystems in Central and South America, but has nearly vanished from Cerrado and Atlantic Forest environments (De Oliveira & Silva 2006, Aguiar-Silva et al. 2012, Silva et al. 2013. ...
... The overwhelming number of sloths in the general harpy eagle diet begs the question as to what harpy eagles kill in slothless regions. Areas like the Pantanal, the Cerrado, and semideciduous Atlantic Forest are outside the distribution of Bradypus and Choloepus, and these regions currently have small, if any, populations of harpy eagles (Godoi et al. 2012, Silva et al. 2013, and present studies are incapable of attributing a cause to this pattern. If the hypothesis presented here is correct and harpy eagles are truly specialized in preying on species with passive antipredator defenses, I predict that animals with similar strategies, such as armadillos and porcupines, will probably be substitutes for sloths in such areas. ...
Knowledge of the food habits of threatened taxa is key for their effective conservation, especially in top predators where prey species are frequently also hunted by humans. The harpy eagle Harpia harpyja is the largest living eagle, and is considered Near Threatened by the IUCN. Its main threats are persecution by humans and habitat loss. Predation patterns of this species have been the subject of several descriptive studies, each reflecting the idiosyncrasies of the study area. Systematizing these data permits a transition from descriptive treatments of harpy food habits to a predictive focus, based on defensive prey strategies and foraging theory. This generates information that can enhance management and conservation decisions. Literature data were summarized and standardized, allowing comparison between studies. Results indicate that harpy eagles feed mainly on sloths and other prey with passive antipredator strategies, with sloths accounting for 50% of prey items and biomass consumed. Large monkeys such as howlers (Alouatta spp.) and capuchins (Sapajus and Cebus spp.) are the next most important prey, but combined, primates form only ~20% of the consumed prey biomass. Predation seldom occurs on animals weighing more than 5 kg. This is positive from a conservation point of view, since sloths are not game species, precluding competition between harpy eagles and subsistence hunting.
... Por fim, destaca-se que o conhecimento sobre a distribuição das espécies é fundamental para a sua conservação, sendo prementes estudos mais detalhados em biogeografia e ecologia ( Piacentini et al. 2006). Dados pontuais sobre a ocorrência das espécies, principalmente daquelas raras e ameaçadas, são fundamentais para o conhecimento e conservação da biodiversidade de uma região (Godoi et al. 2012). Desta forma, os resultados deste estudo são importantes, pois descrevem a composição da comunidade de aves do município de Bodoquena, demonstrando que na região existem espécies raras e ameaçadas e, de forma geral, uma alta riqueza de espécies de aves que deve ser conservada em sua totalidade. ...
O objetivo deste estudo foi realizar o levantamento e caracterização da comunidade de aves do município de Bodoquena, com o intuito de fornecer subsídios para a conservação deste grupo na região.
... Por isso é uma espécie rara que ocorre normalmente em regiões que ainda mantém grandes áreas de habitat natural preservado (Sick 1997). No estado de Mato Grosso do Sul esta espécie até têm sido registrada pontualmente na Bacia do Alto Rio Paraná, onde a paisagem encontra-se bastante fragmentada, mas as principais áreas de ocorrência parecem mesmo ser a Serra de Maracaju, Maciço do Urucum e Serra da Bodoquena, que são os grandes maciços florestais do estado (Godoi et al. 2012). A tiriba-fogo ocorre no Paraguai, Bolívia e Brasil, onde apresenta distribuição restrita ao estado de Mato Grosso do Sul (Sick 1997, Sigrist 2007, Van Perlo 2009, ocorrendo na Serra da Bodoquena (Pivatto et al. 2006), Serra de Maracaju e no ecótono destas áreas com a planície pantaneira. ...
... Nevertheless, Birds of Upper Paraná River Basin in the State of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil Mauricio Neves Godoi, José Carlos Morante Filho, Érica de Souza Módena, Claudenice Faxina, Fernando Augusto Tambelini Tizianel, Ricardo Bocchese, Maria Antonietta Castro Pivatto, Alessandro Pacheco Nunes and Sérgio Roberto Posso they require relatively large areas and continuous habitat, and thus may become rare and even extinct regionally due to the lack of massive continuous forest in the Upper Paraná River. In the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, these species have been more commonly found in regions with larger and preserved natural habitats, especially in the Pantanal, Maciço do Urucum and Serras da Bodoquena and Maracajú (Godoi et al. 2012b). Some large frugivorous species occur in the region, such as Primolius maracana, Procnias nudicollis, Tinamus solitarius and Crypturellus obsoletus. ...
The Upper Paraná River Basin covers approximately half of the territory of Mato Grosso do Sul state. There are two phytogeographic domains in this region: Cerrado and Atlantic Forest. Despite these domains have a high biological diversity and suffer intense anthropogenic pressure, little is known about their avifauna in this region. Thus, we presented a compilation of the avifauna based on field studies conducted by the authors, supplementary data from literature and institutional material deposited
in museum collections. We recorded 472 species of birds belonging to 25 orders and 71 families. Eleven species are endemic to the Cerrado and 26 to the Atlantic Forest. Nine species with Amazonian distribution and four from the Chaco were also found in this region. Sixteen intercontinental migratory species were recorded and 20 species are considered endangered. These endangered
species are rare or uncommon in the region, except for Rhea americana and Alipiopsitta xanthops, which are very common. These data reinforce the importance of the conservation of birds in these areas, as well as additional studies that will allow a better characterization of the avifauna of the region. We recommend the creation of new protected areas in the Upper Paraná River region, in addition to the full maintenance of Permanent Preservation Areas and Legal Reserves. This will ensure the conservation of these birds currently threatened by strong anthropic pressure due to the presence of pastures and large-scale agriculture in the region.
