Avifauna no município de Nova Veneza, Mata Atlântica do Sul de Santa Catarina, Brasil

Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso apresentado para obtenção do grau de Bacharel no Curso de Ciências Biológicas da Universidade do Extremo Sul Catarinense – UNESC.A avifauna da Mata Atlântica pode ser considerada uma das mais ricas do planeta. No entanto, assim como é uma das mais ricas, também é uma das mais ameaçadas, uma vez que a intensa degradação do bioma, que ocorre desde os tempos da colonização, extinguiu uma considerável parcela das espécies de forma local, regional ou total. Por isso, a realização de inventários biológicos se tornou de extrema relevância, principalmente aqueles feitos em áreas importantes para a conservação deste bioma. A fim de ampliar os dados ornitológicos na Mata Atlântica da região dos contrafortes da Serra Geral e ambientes adjacentes, foi conduzido um inventário de espécies no município de Nova Veneza, sul de Santa Catarina, entre junho de 2012 a março de 2015. Foram registradas 271 espécies distribuídas em 65 famílias, incluindo onze espécies quase ameaçadas (Tinamus solitarius, Strix hylophila, Myrmotherula unicolor, Eleoscytalopus indigoticus, Psilorhamphus guttatus, Anabacerthia amaurotis, Carpornis cucullatus, Hemitriccus orbitatus, Cyanocorax caeruleus, Tangara cyanoptera e Euphonia chalybea), quatro ameaçadas globalmente (Procnias nudicollis, Phylloscartes kronei, Tangara peruviana e Sporophila frontalis), duas ameaçadas nacionalmente (Sporophila frontalis e Tangara peruviana) e seis ameaçadas em âmbito estadual (Tinamus solitarius, Penelope superciliaris, Spizaetus tyrannus, Spizaetus ornatus, Tangara peruviana e Sporophila frontalis), bem como espécies pouco relatadas para o estado de Santa Catarina (Callonetta leucoprhys, Porzana flaviventer, Bubo virginianus, Antrostomus sericocaudatus e Phacellodomus ferrugineigula). Os resultados obtidos vêm a confirmar o status dessa área como de extrema importância para a conservação da Mata Atlântica do Brasil, bem como ressalta a importância de inventários realizados em longo praz

Bird diversity and conservation in the southern coast of Santa Catarina state, Brazil

Coastal lagoons and their surrounding habitats often harbour high biodiversity and some of the most threatened ecosystems in the world. However, in the Neotropics the biodiversity is often poorly described, lacking even inventories of species which therefore limits the assessment of threats and the stablishment of efficient conservation measures. We present here lists of bird species recorded at ten sites along the under-studied coastal lagoons of southern Santa Catarina, Brazil, collected mainly from October 2012 to March 2018. We present quantitative data for endemic and threatened species, identify migratory status and highlight distributional novelties. In total, we recorded 229 species encompassing 63 families, including twelve species of conservation concern, 11 endemic to the Atlantic Forest or Pampas zoogeographical provinces and 38 migrants. We provide new records of seven rare species in Santa Catarina (Larus atlanticus, Calidris pusilla, Aramides ypecaha, Bubo virginianus, Limnornis curvirostris, Phacellodomus ferrugineigula and Pseudocolopteryx flaviventris) and report the first evidence of occurrence of Schoeniophylax phryganophilus for the State. Based on our findings, we discuss the regional diversity and conservation of the avifauna

First record of a four-egg clutch of collared forest falcon micrastur semitorquatus, with notes on a nest in a building in southern Brazil

Collared Forest Falcon Micrastur semitorquatus ranges from northern Mexico to southern Brazil. This species is known to lay 1-3 eggs. We describe the first four-egg clutch for M. semitorquatus from observations made in southern Brazil, in the state of Santa Catarina. We also describe the nest site, nestling diet and assess sex ratio and mass gain of the nestlings. © 2018 The Authors

ATLANTIC BIRD TRAITS: a data set of bird morphological traits from the Atlantic forests of South America

Scientists have long been trying to understand why the Neotropical region holds the highest diversity of birds on Earth. Recently, there has been increased interest in morphological variation between and within species, and in how climate, topography, and anthropogenic pressures may explain and affect phenotypic variation. Because morphological data are not always available for many species at the local or regional scale, we are limited in our understanding of intra- and interspecies spatial morphological variation. Here, we present the ATLANTIC BIRD TRAITS, a data set that includes measurements of up to 44 morphological traits in 67,197 bird records from 2,790 populations distributed throughout the Atlantic forests of South America. This data set comprises information, compiled over two centuries (1820–2018), for 711 bird species, which represent 80% of all known bird diversity in the Atlantic Forest. Among the most commonly reported traits are sex (n = 65,717), age (n = 63,852), body mass (n = 58,768), flight molt presence (n = 44,941), molt presence (n = 44,847), body molt presence (n = 44,606), tail length (n = 43,005), reproductive stage (n = 42,588), bill length (n = 37,409), body length (n = 28,394), right wing length (n = 21,950), tarsus length (n = 20,342), and wing length (n = 18,071). The most frequently recorded species are Chiroxiphia caudata (n = 1,837), Turdus albicollis (n = 1,658), Trichothraupis melanops (n = 1,468), Turdus leucomelas (n = 1,436), and Basileuterus culicivorus (n = 1,384). The species recorded in the greatest number of sampling localities are Basileuterus culicivorus (n = 243), Trichothraupis melanops (n = 242), Chiroxiphia caudata (n = 210), Platyrinchus mystaceus (n = 208), and Turdus rufiventris (n = 191). ATLANTIC BIRD TRAITS (ABT) is the most comprehensive data set on measurements of bird morphological traits found in a biodiversity hotspot; it provides data for basic and applied research at multiple scales, from individual to community, and from the local to the macroecological perspectives.
