Abstract:

Fragmentation and loss of forests is a global problem that negatively affects biological communities generating local extinction of species. Studies of communities in disturbed areas are important to provide information on new ensembles of birds that are established there. In 56 campaigns carried out during 1991-2002, 272 species of birds were recorded, belonging to 59 families. Five of the species are threatened and 43 endemic (21% of all the species endemic to the Atlantic Forest). The most abundant species were those related to disturbed habitats with the greatest species richness recorded

Abstract:

SummaryWe tested the hypothesis that endemic bird species of the Brazilian Atlantic forest are more sensitive to forest fragmentation than non-endemics in a fragmented landscape in northern Paraná state of southern Brazil. Levels of sensitivity (high, medium, and low) were previously determined in the landscape based on the occurrences of bird species in 14 forest fragments. We evaluated 112 forest bird species and found that endemic species were more sensitive than non-endemics. Among the endemic species, highly sensitive species tended to have smaller geographic ranges. In a second analysis,

Abstract:

Abstract Neotropical forests are home to exceptional biodiversity, especially along the eastern coast of tropical and subtropical South America. In the Atlantic Forest, the subtropical Araucaria Forest harbours both tropical and temperate plant lineages. Is the presence of Araucaria angustifolia the only attribute characterizing the south-eastern South American Araucaria Forest, or is this formation also defined by the co-occurrence of other endemic species? To answer this question, we revisited the history of this vegetation from published lists and from the current distribution data of angio

Areas of endemism are the smallest units of biogeographical analysis. One of its definitions is that these areas harbor organisms with restricted distributions caused by non random historical factors. The aim of this study was to examine historical relationships among areas of endemism in the Neotropics using Brooks Parsimony Analysis (BPA). We applied BPA to 12 unrelated taxa distributed within two sets of endemic areas in order to: (1) compare the proposed endemic area classifications; (2) examine whether Amazonia and Atlantic Forest are true biogeographic units and, (3) examine whether the

Knowledge of the geographic distribution of plants is essential to underpin the understanding of global biodiversity patterns. Vascular epiphytes are important components of diversity and functionality of Neotropical forests but, unlike their terrestrial counterparts, they are under-represented in large-scale diversity and biogeographic analyses. This is the case for the Atlantic Forest - one of the most diverse and threatened biomes worldwide.

Abstract:

The present study describes four new species of the exclusively Neotropical Myrcia s.l., which includes the genera Calyptranthes, Marlierea and Myrcia. The new species are named Myrcia cataphyllata (related to Myrcia bicolor), Myrcia elevata (related to Marlierea velutina), Myrcia megaphylla (very distinct from other species of Myrcia) and Myrcia sessilissima (related to Myrcia tomentosa). They are endemic to their respective biomes: one endemic to the Amazon forest (M. elevata); one from the Campo Rupestre (‘Rocky Fields’) vegetation (M. sessilissima); and two from the Atlantic Forest (M. cat

<em>Drymoreomys albimaculatus</em> is a recently-described rodent and an Atlantic Forest endemic. It is rare and has a poorly defined geographic distribution. This article presents the first record of <em>D. albimaculatus</em> from Paraná state, Brazil and expands the known range of this species into northeastern Santa Catarina state. Both records are from Mixed Ombrophilous Forest and Semideciduous Seasonal Forest types.

Abstract:

We have modeled the ecological niche for 12 plant species belonging to the genusDavilla(Dilleniaceae) which occur in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil. This group includes endemic species lianas threatened by extinction and is therefore a useful indicator for forest areas requiring conservation. The aims are to compare the distribution and richness of species within the protected areas, assessing the degree of protection and gap analysis of reserves for this group. We used the Maxent algorithm with environmental and occurrence data, and produced geographic distribution maps. The results show that

Xylopia atlantica shares with X. decorticans and X. ochrantha cauli and ramiflorous inflorescences. It differs from the former by the non-exfoliating bark, and from the latter by the indument of the monocarps, sparsely yellow-tomentose versus densely golden-tomentose, in X. ochrantha. Al

The park has an area of 800 ha, and its main vegetation is composed of dry forest (at 150–500 m elev.), and a small portion of wet forest (500–700 m), within the Brazilian Atlantic Rainforest biome. We found 83 taxa, including 75 species, 3 varieties, 4 putative hybrids, and 1 cultivar. Among these, 17 are newly recorded from the Espírito Santo.

Abstract:

The Atlantic Forest is one of the most diverse and threatened phytogeographical domains in the world. Despite that, it includes regions with poor floristic knowledge, even in protected areas. Although the importance of protected areas in conserving the Atlantic Forest hotspot is undisputed, it is necessary to recognise the floristic richness of these areas to propose effective conservation actions. In this sense, online databases have proved to be a promising tool for compiling species lists with relevant biodiversity information. This study is based on the list of vascular plants of the "Parq

Anurans are one of the main food items that make up its diet. Other studies have reported unsuccessful predation attempts of this species on frogs of the family Leptodactylidae.

It resembles Piptocarpha axillaris and Piptocarpha macropoda in its overall appearance, but differs mainly by its long pedunculated capitula with few flowers.

The Atlantic Forest is a hotspot for biodiversity, an area which houses high species richness and endemism, but with high level of threat. With reference to the herpetofauna, until recently there has been no detailed information regarding diversity of snakes recorded in the Atlantic Forest, the number of endemic species and their distribution ranges. While these basic data were missing, large areas of original forest have continued to be lost to increased urbanization and human population, representing a severe threat to the biodiversity.

SummaryIn this study I compare bird communities along an elevational gradient in an Atlantic forest remnant (Pico do Corcovado in Ubatuba) in coastal Sao Paulo state, Brazil. Forests at low elevations are structurally more complex and more diverse in plant species than those along the slopes and at higher elevations in this remnant. Consequently it is hypothesized that low elevation forests contain a greater diversity of bird species. Results from the study in the Corcovado area show clear differences in the distribution of forest birds along the elevational gradient from both qualitative and
