O objetivo desse livro é apresentar ao leitor um pouco da diversidade de aves que habita o Parque Nacional da Serra da Canastra. A partir daí, pretende-se que as pessoas da região e também os turistas despertem ou aumentem o interesse pela riqueza biológica desta Unidade de Conservação, de modo a estimular práticas e ações positivas em relação à na...
Grasslands are characteristic physiognomies of the Brazilian Cerrado domain. One of last remnants of these threatened environments in the state of São Paulo is located in Itirapina Ecological Station, considered as an Important Bird Area (IBA). We investigated bird assemblages that use seasonally flooded grasslands, and predominantly dry grasslands...
List of birds recorded foraging in grasslands of Serra da Canastra National Park after fire. SUPPLEMENTARY MATERIAL, Appendix SI, Paper title: The influence of fire on the assemblage structure of foraging birds in grasslands of the Serra da Canastra National Park, Brazil
A new variety of Schizachyrium tenerum from South America is described and illustrated. The new taxon (S. tenerum var. muticum) differs from the other varieties of the species (S. tenerum var. tenerum and S. tenerum var. hirtiglume) mainly by the absence of awns in the sessile spikelets, which is a very unusual character in the genus. The new varie...
A new species of Mesosetum with a winged rachis, only known from Serra da Canastra, Minas Gerais, Brazil, is described and illustrated. The new species (Mesosetum canastrense) is morphologically similar to M. alatum, but it is distinguished mainly by the collar with a continuous line of trichomes (vs. absent or interrupted in M. alatum), synfloresc...
Although fire is a natural phenomenon in the dynamics of some biomes around the world, it can threaten the biodiversity of certain ecosystems. Climate change and the expansion of anthropogenic activities have drastically increased the occurrence of large-scale burnings worldwide. The 2020 fire events in the Pantanal marked a historically unpreceden...
Fire might occur under natural conditions in the Pantanal of Brazil; however, with climate change, severe periods of drought potentiated the devasting fires in 2020, resulting in substantial wildlife loss. Considering that mammal communities are strongly affected by fire and habitat alterations, the aim of this study was to evaluate possible differ...

Hummingbirds are specialized in consumption of nectar and play an important role in Neotropical plant communities acting as pollinator organisms. Despite the importance of this mutualistic interaction, studies about hummingbird-plant relationships remain scarce regarding the Cerrado domain (Brazilian savanna). In this study, we aimed to describe th...
Andar ao longo da rodovia Transpantaneira no Pantanal mato-grossense, durante uma noite com clima tropical quente e úmido é uma experiência acústica excepcional. Oposto a dominância dos sons das inúmeras aves durante o dia, a noite e, especialmente, sob lua cheia, um forte coro assustador vem das áreas abertas inundadas, dos lagos e rios pantaneiro...
Biological invasion is one of the main threats to native biodiversity. For a species to become invasive, it must be voluntarily or involuntarily introduced by humans into a nonnative habitat. Mammals were among first taxa to be introduced worldwide for game, meat, and labor, yet the number of species introduced in the Neotropics remains unknown. In...
Mammalian carnivores are considered a key group in maintaining ecological health and can indicate potential ecological integrity in landscapes where they occur. Carnivores also hold high conservation value and their habitat requirements can guide management and conservation plans. The order Carnivora has 84 species from 8 families in the Neotropica...
Birds play a key role in ecosystem dynamics, including urban and rural areas, bringing environmental quality improvements and ecological stability. Species contribute directly to natural regeneration of vegetation and succession processes, by offering ecosystem services as seed dispersal, an important role in human-modified areas. We studied the as...
Here we report observations on the interactions between a family of the endangered Mergus octosetaceus and an individual of Tachybaptus dominicus on a stretch of the upper São Francisco River, in the Serra da Canastra National Park.
The Brasilia Tapaculo, Scytalopus novacapitalis Sick, 1958, is a rare, geographically restricted, and endangered bird species that inhabits riparian vegetation of Cerrado, mainly Gallery Forests. In Serra da Canastra National Park, southeastern Brazil, wetlands are under threat due to frequent non-natural burnings and invasion by feral pigs, Sus sc...
Observations on the use of horse dung as nesting material by the Short-crested Flycatcher, Myiarchus ferox (Aves: Tyrannidae) in the Cerrado of Goias state, central Brazil, with a short review of materials used in nests.
Fight between two top predators, Geranoaetus melanoleucus and G. albicaudatus (Aves: Accipitridae), in a recently burned grassland at Serra da Canastra National Park, Brazil.
Agonistic behavior between two birds and a mammal in understorey Cerrado fragment, central Brazil
Record of behavioral interaction between Yellow-headed Caracara (Milvago chimachima, Aves: Falconidae) and the Lowland Tapir (Tapirus terrestris, Mammalia: Tapiridae) in a Cerrado savanna of central Brazil.
We aimed to investigate the fire effects on four species that depend on riparian ecosystems of São Francisco River, Serra da Canastra, Minas Gerais, Brazil. The Sharp-tailed Streamcreeper (Lochmias nematura) did not change the use of habitat, but the Sooty Tyrannulet (Serpophaga nigricans) actively searched for food at farther distances from the ri...
Grasslands are the most threatened physiognomies of the Cerrado biome (Brazilian savanna), a biodiversity hotspot with conservation as a priority. The Serra da Canastra National Park protects the most important remnants of the Cerrado's southern grasslands, which are under strong anthropogenic pressure. The present study describes the structure of...
Inúmeras estratégias são utilizadas visando mitigar as ameaças à biodiversidade. A criação de unidades de conservação para preservação ambiental deveria ser concomitante à implantação destas estratégias, assim como em localidades onde o meio urbano encontra-se próximo a áreas de alta relevância ecológica. O presente trabalho coletou dados ecológico...
Este trabalho insere-se no contexto da Educacao Ambiental, mais especificamente na organizacao e uso do espaco externo escolar no sentido de se aumentar a aproximacao da crianca com a natureza, de forma a estabelecerem relacoes cotidianas entre si. Tem como objetivo apresentar o resultado de observacao e registro sistematico da visita de beija-flor...
O presente ensaio busca, por meio de analise de literatura das areas ambientais, refletir sobre a interpretacao e utilizacao dos instrumentos legais do que se denomina educacao ambiental (EA) no Brasil e ambientes naturais nas paisagens do Estado de Sao Paulo. Apresenta como base conceitual de estabelecimento de processos de EA a referencia Conceit...
