A Survey of mid and large bodied mammals in NĂșcleo Caraguatatuba, Serra do Mar State Park, Brazil
NĂłs aplicamos tĂ©cnicas de amostragem complementares para obter uma lista de espĂ©cies de mamĂferos de mĂ©dio e grande porte no NĂșcleo Caraguatatuba, Parque Estadual da Serra do Mar, Brasil. As amostragens de campo realizaram-se nos meses de Maio e Setembro de 2011. Utilizou-se, censo ao longo de transectos (212,4 km), armadilhas fotogrĂĄficas (223,2 armadilhas-dias) e armadilhas de pegadas (478 armadilhas-dias). Foram obtidos registros de 18 espĂ©cies, pertencentes a 14 famĂlias e oito ordens. NĂłs registramos a presença de sete espĂ©cies consideradas ameaçadas no Estado de SĂŁo Paulo, incluindo primatas (Brachyteles arachnoides), Artiodactyla (Mazama americana e Tayassu pecari), Carnivora (Leopardus pardalis, Leopardus tigrinus e Puma concolor) e Perissodactyla (Tapirus terrestris). Com base em numa extrapolação da riqueza de espĂ©cies (First order jackknife) nĂłs prevemos que existem entre 19 e 32 espĂ©cies de mamĂferos de mĂ©dio e grande porte no NĂșcleo. Nosso Mammal Priority Index classificou o NĂșcleo Caraguatatuba como uma ĂĄrea de importĂąncia mĂ©dia para a conservação de mamĂferos de mĂ©dio e grande porte na Mata AtlĂąntica. Combinado com o nĂșmero e a diversidade de espĂ©cies registradas, nossos resultados demonstram que este NĂșcleo Ă© uma ĂĄrea importante para a conservação de mamĂferos no Estado.We applied complementary survey techniques to obtain a baseline species list of mid and large bodied mammals in NĂșcleo Caraguatatuba, Serra do Mar State park, Brazil. Between May and September 2011 we surveyed the community of mid and large bodied mammals using diurnal line transect census (212.4 km), camera-traps (223.2 camera-trap days) and track-stations (478 track-station days). A total of 18 species were recorded from 14 families in eight orders. We recorded the presence of seven species considered threatened in the State of SĂŁo Paulo, including Primates (Brachyteles arachnoides), Artiodactyla (Mazama cf. americana and Tayassu pecari), Carnivora (Leopardus pardalis, Leopardus tigrinus and Puma concolor) and Perissodactyla (Tapirus terrestris). Based on extrapolated (First order jackknife) species richness estimates we predict that there are between 19 and 32 species of mid and large bodied mammals in the NĂșcleo. Our revised Mammal Priority Index ranked NĂșcleo Caraguatatuba as being of medium overall importance for the conservation of mid and large bodied mammals in the Atlantic Forest. Combined with the number and diversity of species recorded, our results demonstrate that this NĂșcleo is an important area for mammal conservation
