First Records Of Heliomaster Furcifer (trochilidae) In The State Of São Paulo And Expansion Of Its Distribution [primeiros Registros De Heliomaster Furcifer (trochilidae) No Estado De São Paulo E Ampliação De Sua Distribuição]

Heliomaster furcifer is a hummingbird that inhabits open areas, appearing to be a species of low density, with few reports in the literature. Its distribution is known for the states of Goias, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Minas Gerais to Rio Grande do Sul, with no records for the State of São Paulo. We present here the first records of H. furcifer in this state, expanding its geographical distribution.193422423Grantsau, R., (1988) Os Beija-flores do Brasil, , Rio de Janeiro: Expressão e CulturaLopes, L.E., Leite, L., Pinho, J.B., Goes, R., New bird records to the Estação Ecológica de Águas Emendadas, Planaltina, Distrito Federal (2005) Ararajuba, 13, pp. 107-108de Schauensee Meyer, R., (1970) A Guide to the Birds of South America, , Philadelphia: Academy of Natural Sciences of PhiladelphiaNunes, A.P., Tizianel, F.A.T., Melo, A.V., Nascimento, V., McHado, N., Aves da Estrada Parque Pantanal, Corumbá, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brasil (2010) Atualidades Ornitológicas, 156, pp. 33-47van Perlo, B., (2009) A field guide to the birds of Brazil, , New York: Oxfod University PressRuschi, A., (1986) Aves do Brasil, 5. , Beija-flores.

The golden lancehead Bothrops insularis (Serpentes: Viperidae) relies on two seasonally plentiful bird species visiting its island habitat

Adult individuals of the island pitviper Bothrops insularis have a diet based on birds. We analysed bird species recorded in the gut of this snake and found that it relies on two out of 41 bird species recorded on the island. When present, these two prey species were among the most abundant passerine birds on the island. A few other migrant birds were very occasionally recorded as prey. A resident bird species (Troglodytes musculus) is the most abundant passerine on the island, but seems able to avoid predation by the viper. Bothrops insularis is most commonly found on the ground. However, during the abundance peak of the tyrannid passerine Elaenia chilensis on the island, more snakes were found on vegetation than on the ground. We suggest that one cause may be that these birds forage mostly on vegetation, and thus cause the snakes to search for prey on this arboreal substratum4613-14885895CONSELHO NACIONAL DE DESENVOLVIMENTO CIENTÍFICO E TECNOLÓGICO - CNPQFUNDAÇÃO DE AMPARO À PESQUISA DO ESTADO DE SÃO PAULO - FAPESPsem informaçã
