Full textAbstract:
Environmental stress on primate populations can take many forms. Abiotic factors, such as temperature and precipitation, may directly influence the behavior of primates owing to physiological demands of thermoregulation or through indirect influences on vegetation that primates rely on for food. These effects can also scale up to the macro scale, impacting primate distributions and evolution. Primates also encounter stress during interactions within and between species (i.e., biotic interactions). For example, selective pressure from male-perpetrated infanticide can drive the development of female counterstrategies and can impact life-history traits. Predation on primates can modify group size, ranging behavior, and habitat use. Finally, humans have influenced primate populations for millennia. More recently, hunting, habitat disturbance, disease, and climate change have increased in frequency and severity with detrimental impacts on primate populations worldwide. These effects and recent evidence from camera traps emphasize the importance of maintaining protected areas for conserving primate populations.

Full textAbstract:
Primates occur in 90 countries, but four—Brazil, Madagascar, Indonesia, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC)—harbor 65% of the world’s primate species (439) and 60% of these primates are Threatened, Endangered, or Critically Endangered (IUCN Red List of Threatened Species 2017-3). Considering their importance for global primate conservation, we examine the anthropogenic pressures each country is facing that place their primate populations at risk. Habitat loss and fragmentation are main threats to primates in Brazil, Madagascar, and Indonesia. However, in DRC hunting for the commercial bushmeat trade is the primary threat. Encroachment on primate habitats driven by local and global market demands for food and non-food commodities hunting, illegal trade, the proliferation of invasive species, and human and domestic-animal borne infectious diseases cause habitat loss, population declines, and extirpation. Modeling agricultural expansion in the 21st century for the four countries under a worst-case-scenario, showed a primate range contraction of 78% for Brazil, 72% for Indonesia, 62% for Madagascar, and 32% for DRC. These pressures unfold in the context of expanding human populations with low levels of development. Weak governance across these four countries may limit effective primate conservation planning. We examine landscape and local approaches to effective primate conservation policies and assess the distribution of protected areas and primates in each country. Primates in Brazil and Madagascar have 38% of their range inside protected areas, 17% in Indonesia and 14% in DRC, suggesting that the great majority of primate populations remain vulnerable. We list the key challenges faced by the four countries to avert primate extinctions now and in the future. In the short term, effective law enforcement to stop illegal hunting and illegal forest destruction is absolutely key. Long-term success can only be achieved by focusing local and global public awareness, and actively engaging with international organizations, multinational businesses and consumer nations to reduce unsustainable demands on the environment. Finally, the four primate range countries need to ensure that integrated, sustainable land-use planning for economic development includes the maintenance of biodiversity and intact, functional natural ecosystems.

With 60% of all primate species now threatened with extinction and many species only persisting in small populations in forest fragments, conservation action is urgently needed. But what type of action? Here we argue that restoration of primate habitat will be an essential component of strategies aimed at conserving primates and preventing the extinctions that may occur before the end of the century and propose that primates can act as flagship species for restoration efforts. To do this we gathered a team of academics from around the world with experience in restoration so that we could provide examples of why primate restoration ecology is needed, outline how primates can act as flagship species for restoration efforts of tropical forest, review what little is known about how primate populations respond to restoration efforts, and make specific recommendations of the next steps needed to make restoration of primate populations successful. We set four priorities: (1) academics must effectively communicate both the value of primates and the need for restoration; (2) more research is needed on how primates contribute to forest restoration; (3) more effort must be put into Masters and PhD level training for tropical country nationals; and finally (4) more emphasis is needed to monitor the responses of regenerating forest and primate populations where restoration efforts are initiated. We are optimistic that populations of many threatened species can recover, and extinctions can be prevented, but only if concerted large-scale efforts are made soon and if these efforts include primate habitat restoration.

AbstractBrazil has a high diversity of primates, but increasing anthropogenic pressures and climate change could influence forest cover in the country and cause future changes in the distribution of primate populations. Here we aim to assess the long-term suitability of habitats for the conservation of three threatened Brazilian primates (Alouatta belzebul, Sapajus flavius and Sapajus libidinosus) through (1) estimating their current and future distributions using species distribution models, (2) evaluating how much of the areas projected to be suitable is represented within protected areas and priority areas for biodiversity conservation, and (3) assessing the extent of remaining forest cover in areas predicted to be suitable for these species. We found that 88% of the suitable areas are outside protected areas and only 24% are located in areas with forest cover. Although not within protected areas, 27% of the climatically suitable areas are considered priority areas for conservation. Future projections, considering a severe climate change scenario, indicate that A. belzebul, S. flavius and S. libidinosus may lose up to 94, 98 and 54% of their suitable range, respectively. The establishment of primate populations and their long-term survival in these areas are at risk. Mitigation actions such as the implementation of new protected areas, forest restoration and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions will be essential for the conservation of Brazilian primates.

Abstract. The purpose of this article is to provide a survey of the diversity of primate locomotor behaviour for people who are involved in research using laboratory primates. The main locomotor modes displayed by primates are introduced with reference to some general morphological adaptations. The relationships between locomotor behaviour and body size, habitat structure and behavioural context will be illustrated because these factors are important determinants of the evolutionary diversity of primate locomotor activities. They also induce the high individual plasticity of the locomotor behaviour for which primates are well known. The article also provides a short overview of the preferred locomotor activities in the various primate families. A more detailed description of locomotor preferences for some of the most common laboratory primates is included which also contains information about substrate preferences and daily locomotor activities which might useful for laboratory practice. Finally, practical implications for primate husbandry and cage design are provided emphasizing the positive impact of physical activity on health and psychological well-being of primates in captivity.

SUMMARYHuman–wildlife interactions have reached unprecedented levels, and humans are influencing the earth's ecosystems more rapidly and extensively than ever before. This situation is cause for serious concern, especially since disease interactions between wildlife and humans have been recognized as major conservation threats. In this study, long-tailed macaques,Macaca fascicularis, from 2 forest parks located in north-eastern Thailand were investigated to determine the influence of habitat modification by humans on helminth parasite associations in non-human primates. Macaque populations with contact to anthropogenically modified environments were compared with sylvatic groups in nearby natural environments. In order to test for human–non-human primate transmission of parasites, the local human populations were also examined. Humans were infected with a number of potentially pathogenic parasites, includingOpisthorchis viverriniandStrongyloides stercoralis. However, eggs of these helminths were not detected in macaque feces. Thus, no direct parasite transfer from humans to non-human primates could be confirmed. However, macaque groups with more frequent contact with human-modified habitats, and a higher portion of human-provided food in their diet, had significantly higher prevalences and intensities ofStrongyloides fuelleborniand of an intestinal fluke (probablyHaplorchissp.) than sylvatic groups. Positive correlations were found between the time foraging on the ground and infection withS. fuelleborni, and the amount of human-provided food and intestinal fluke infection. Human alteration of habitat and associated modifications in non-human primate behaviour are likely to play a role in determining the occurrence, prevalence and intensity of zoonotic helminth infection of wild non-human primates.

Full textAbstract:
Tropical forests constitute the main part of the non-human primate’s habitat but they are more and more fragmented because of anthropic activities. In Ivory Coast, the present forest cover includes only some fragments more or less important. The knowledge of the primate’s diversity and their distribution in these relics of forest constitute some hopeful elements for their conservation. This study has been carried out in two classified forests and a community forest of the Tonkpi area in the West of Ivory Coast. It aims first, to assess the species of primates, then to highlight their spatial distributions and at last, determine their conservation status and the threats there are facing. The methodology used consisted firstly, on interview among hunters and older living around the forests to have an overall view of the monkey species in the area and the forests that housing them. Next, foot surveys have been organized in the identified forests during the interview. At the end of this study, seven species of primates belonging to West African forests have been confirmed in these forest relics base on observation of nests, vocalizations and visual signs. The majority of these species are observed at the periphery of forests mainly in mountain and flooded areas apart from Galagoïdes thomasi which is more abundant even in fallow land. Among those species, one (Piliocolobus badius) is listed Endangered (EN) and Colobus polykomos is considered vulnerable (VU) by IUCN; and five others are least Concern (LC). The sustainable conservation of those primates is threatened by agriculture, traditional and industrial mining, hunting and logging. The existence in those forest relics of primate species with conservation concerned justify their value for the sustainable conservation of those primates and the need to reinforce measure of protection.

Our research goal was to investigate the primate pet trade in the United States. While dogs and cats are the most common type of pet, there are an estimated 15,000 pet primates in the United States and the demand for exotic pets in general has been rising. Most research on pet primates occurs in habitat countries and little is known about these pets in the United States. We collected data from six exotic pet-trade websites twice a month for 12 months. We recorded the type of primate for sale, sex, age, location, and price. We used Chi-Square Goodness-of-Fit tests to compare whether the number of male and female pet primates for sale and the number of different age categories of pet primates for sale differed from equality and Spearman Correlation to examine associations between price and size and price and supply. We recorded 551 pet primates for sale between June 2019-June 2020, with 69.1% platyrrhines, 21.6% strepsirrhines, and 8.9% catarrhines. Marmosets were sold most often (36.7%, N = 202) followed by lemurs (21.6%, N = 119), capuchins (11.3%, N = 62), and squirrel monkeys (10.5%, N = 58). Almost two-thirds of the pet primates for sale were male (Chi-Square = 16.056, df = 1, P = 0. 00006) and 78.7% were under one year old (Chi-Square = 440.264, df = 2, P<0.00001). The median price was $3,800 though price was highly variable, even for the same taxa. There are several potential drivers for the primate pet trade, including media influence, fashion/status, and profitable breeding though these are not mutually exclusive. Primates do not make good pets and even when captive-bred, pet primates impact the conservation of their wild counterparts. Advertisement campaigns focusing on disease transmission and legal consequences and a federal ban on pet primate ownership are two avenues to pursue to end the ownership of pet primates in the United States.

Full textAbstract:
As a consequence of recent human activities. populations of approximately 75% of the world’s primates are in decline, and more than 60% of species (n = 512) are threatened with extinction. Major anthropogenic pressures on primate persistence include the widespread loss and degradation of natural habitats caused by the expansion of industrial agriculture, pastureland for cattle, logging, mining, and fossil fuel extraction. This is the result of growing global market demands for agricultural and nonagricultural commodities. Here, we profile the effects of international trade of forest-risk agricultural and nonagricultural commodities, namely soybean, oil palm, natural rubber, beef, forestry products, fossil fuels, metals, minerals, and gemstones on habitat conversion in the Neotropics, Africa, and South and Southeast Asia. Total estimated forest loss for these regions between 2001 and 2017 was ca 179 million ha. The average percent of commodity-driven permanent deforestation for the period 2001–2015 was highest in Southeast Asia (47%) followed by the Neotropics (26%), South Asia (26%), and Africa (7%). Commodities exports increased significantly between 2000 and 2016 in all primate range regions leading to the widespread conversion of forested land to agricultural fields and an increase in natural resource extraction. In 2016, US $1.1 trillion of natural-resource commodities were traded by countries in primate range regions. The Neotropics accounted for 41% of the total value of these exports, Southeast Asia for 27%, Africa 21%, and South Asia 11%. Major commodity exporters in 2016 were Brazil, India, Indonesia, Malaysia and South Africa, countries of high primate diversity and endemism. Among the top 10 importers were China, the US, Japan, and Switzerland. Primate range countries lag far behind importer nations in food security and gross domestic product per capita, suggesting that trade and commodity-driven land-use have done little to generate wealth and well-being in primate habitat countries. Modeling of land-use and projected extinction of primate species by 2050 and 2100 under a business as usual scenario for 61 primate range countries indicate that each country is expected to see a significant increase in the number of species threatened with extinction. To mitigate this impending crisis, we advocate the “greening” of trade, a global shift toward a low-meat diet, reduced consumption of oil seed, diminished use of tropical timber, fossil fuels, metals, minerals, and gemstones from the tropics, accompanied by a stronger and sustained global resolve to regulate and reverse the negative impacts of growing unsustainable global demands and commodity trade on income inequality, and the destruction of primates and their habitats.

Vietnam's exceptionally rich fauna is threatened by habitat loss and hunting. Although a system of protected areas has recently been developed, many of the sites selected are subject to human encroachment, hunting pressure and other forms of exploitation. Other protected areas may be too small to hold viable populations of primates. Following faunal surveys of existing and proposed protected areas in Vietnam between 1988 and 1991, this paper documents the status of and identifies threats to three species of threatened primate: white-cheeked gibbon Hylobates leucogenys gabriellae, red-shanked douc langur Pygathrix nemaeus and blackshanked douc langur P. nigripes.

Resumo: A alteração das necessidades energéticas dos endotérmicos pela variação da temperatura ambiental devido aos custos da termorregulação pode influenciar seu comportamento. O objetivo desse estudo foi investigar a influência da temperatura nos comportamentos de sauás (Callicebus nigrifrons) na Serra do Japi, região com marcada sazonalidade e temperatura reduzida pela altitude. Para isso, relacionamos com a temperatura: o padrão de atividade, os itens alimentares e os comportamentos termorregulatórios durante o descanso (seleção de micro-hábitat, contato entre os indivíduos e postura corporal). Quanto menores as temperaturas mínimas noturnas, o que pode representar estresse térmico, os sauás iniciaram suas atividades mais tardiamente, no momento em que a temperatura ambiental já estava elevada. A distância percorrida diariamente não variou com a temperatura, mas os sauás locomoveram mais no início do dia, horário mais frio, coincidindo com o início das atividades. Entre os meses, a locomoção foi menor nos mais frios, possivelmente resultando em economia de energia. Não houve seleção por itens alimentares mais calóricos em temperaturas baixas. Entretanto, houve aumento no forrageio nos meses mais frios (não relacionado com a disponibilidade de frutos), compatível com a ideia de que os custos da termorregulação podem influenciar a ingestão de alimentos. A seleção de locais ao sol foi maior em temperaturas baixas, e tal comportamento pode estar reduzindo os custos da termorregulação com o aumento da absorção de calor da radiação solar. O contato entre os indivíduos ao longo do dia não teve relação com a temperatura e pode ter sido influenciado somente pelas interações sociais. A postura não variou em função da temperatura e aquelas que resultavam em menor perda de calor para o meio foram predominantemente adotadas. Isso, provavelmente, devido ao porte pequeno da espécie (elevada razão superfície/volume) que contribui para maior perda de calor nas baixas temperaturas registradas. Conclui-se que os sauás apresentam variação comportamental em função da temperatura ambiental quanto à escolha de micro-hábitats e padrão de locomoção e forrageio
Abstract: Variations in ambient temperature can change the energy requirements of endothermics due to costs of thermoregulation. So, ambient temperature can influence animal's behavior. The aim of this work was to investigate ambient temperature influence on wild black-fronted titi monkeys (Callicebus nigrifrons) behavior. We conducted this study in Serra do Japi, region with marked seasonality and temperature reduced due to high altitude. We analyzed the relation between temperature and the following variables: activity pattern, types of food consumed and thermoregulatory behaviors observed during resting (microhabitat selection, contact between individuals and body posture). In lower night minimum temperatures, which may represent thermal stress to titi monkey, they started their activities later in the day, after ambient temperature increase. There was no correlation between path length and ambient temperature, but titis moved more at beginning of the day (at the coldest hours), when they were starting these activities. During the coldest months, titis moved less, which could be a strategy to save energy. During this period, they did not select higher-calorie food items, but there was an increase in foraging behavior (not related to fruit availability), which is consistent with the idea that the energy costs of thermoregulation can influence food intake. The sunny resting places were selected at low temperatures. This behavior could be used to reduce thermoregulation costs, allowing the increase of heat absorption from solar radiation. The contact between individuals throughout the day was not related to the temperature and may be influenced only by social interactions. Body postures were not influenced by ambient temperature and postures that avoid heat loss were predominantly adopted. This is probably due to the small size of the species (considering the high surface/volume ratio) which contributes to greater heat loss at low temperatures. We concluded that titi monkey's behaviors vary in function of ambient temperature, such as microhabitat choice and pattern of moving and foraging

Previous issue date: 2011-02-25O gênero Callithrix compreende seis espécies de pequenos primatas arborícolas, encontradas nas regiões central e oriental do Brasil. As espécies têm distribuição parapátrica com aparente afinidade às formações fitoecológicas: a presença de Callithrix jacchus tem ocorrência na Caatinga, C. penicillata habita principalmente áreas de Cerrado e as demais espécies, C. aurita, C. flaviceps, C. geoffroyi e C. kuhlii são típicas de Mata Atlântica. Eventos de introdução de algumas destas espécies têm demonstrado sua habilidade em colonizar áreas distintas daquelas onde são nativas. Há mais de dez anos a distribuição de Callithrix não é revisada, existindo um grande número de novos registros de ocorrência, publicados em literatura especializada, que necessitam ser incluídos em estudos biogeográficos destas espécies. Ademais, as causas da ausência de simpatria entre as espécies de Callithrix não são claras, sendo necessária maior investigação a respeito. Desta forma, os objetivos deste estudo foram revisar a distribuição geográfica das espécies de Callithrix, investigar o habitat adequado à sua permanência além dos limites geográficos conhecidos e se existem regiões adequadas para mais de uma espécie. Os registros de ocorrência compilados foram georreferenciados e as localidades foram inseridas graficamente em mapas de municípios, de unidades de conservação e de vegetação, tanto para correção de erros de posicionamento geográfico quanto para observação dos tipos vegetacionais associados à presença destas espécies. Posteriormente, os dados de ocorrência foram associados às variáveis climáticas e topográficas para produção de modelos de habitat, por meio do algoritmo MaxEnt. Os modelos foram submetidos a limite de corte de presença mínima de treino. Foi compilado um total de 359 localidades e a sobreposição dos polígonos de distribuição estimada revelaram que espécies exibem variado grau de especialização com relação ao habitat desde especialistas como C. flaviceps capaz de colonizar apenas quatro tipos vegetacionais diferentes, até C. jacchus observado em 25 tipos de formações distintas. Além disso, foi observado que os tipos de vegetação floresta ombrófila densa e floresta estacional semidecidual estão presentes na distribuição geográfica das seis espécies. Os modelos de habitat apresentaram valores de AUC superiores a 0.9, portanto, podem ser considerados de ótimo desempenho. Houve sobreposição de áreas adequadas para todas as espécies. A análise dos dados de ocorrência e vegetação associados aos resultados da modelagem de habitat permitiu inferir que os limites entre as áreas de ocorrência das espécies, não só coincidem com a presença de grandes rios, mas também com a transição entre formações vegetais distintas, e que os diferentes potenciais adaptativos ecológicos das espécies, provavelmente, influenciam em sua distribuição geográfica, através de exclusão competitiva.

Au cours des dernieres dizaines d'annees, de nombreuses operations de sauvetage ont ete organisees a la suite de la construction de grands barrages hydroelectriques et des centaines d'operation de translocations ont ete entreprises. La plupart ne sont pas documentees et concernent assez rarement les primates, especes phares en terme de recherche scientifique et de conservation de la nature. Quand il n'existe pas d'autre solution, de telles operations peuvent s'averer tres utiles, a condition que certaines procedures soient respectees. En plus de sauver des vies animales, et si elles sont soigneusement preparees et documentees, ces operations peuvent etre benefiques en termes de connaissance et de conservation de la nature et sont nettement preferable a l'autre option : regarder et ne rien faire. C'est dans cet esprit qu'a ete organise un programme de sauvetage, translocation et recherche sur la faune de guyane sur le barrage de petit saut en guyane francaise qui a noye 365 km#2 de foret. Parmi environ 5 500 animaux captures, figuraient 229 singes qui ont ete preleves et deplaces vers une zone forestiere protegee. Cette etude ne represente qu'une partie de l'ensemble des recherches entreprises. Un historique des operations de translocation, est tout d'abord presente. Les objectifs d'une etude specifique sur les primates sont ensuite exposes : demontrer la faisabilite d'une translocation de primates en milieu forestier, approfondir les connaissances ecologiques, veterinaires, biomedicales, genetiques et optimiser la methodologie par la mise au point de techniques d'immobilisation sures et efficaces. Le choix des deux especes est explique. Seize singes hurleurs et 3 sakis a face pale ont ete suivis par telemetrie ; les resultats de la translocation sont exposes.

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPESCapuchin monkeys are frugivorous-insectivorous primates, although they can explore a wide range of food items. The availability of fruits is a key-aspect of the ecology of these primates, with direct influences over the quality of a given area for the species, and often represents the main determinant of the pattern of range use of groups. In a population-level analysis, however, the pattern of occupation of a fragment by capuchin monkeys is influenced by a broader set of factors, including structural parameters of the habitat. The purpose of this study was to describe the pattern of use of different phytophysiognomies by a population of yellow-breasted capuchins in an Atlantic Forest fragment, relating to the structural aspects and fruit availability of the environment. The study area is in Itaporanga D'Ajuda (11º08'07 "S, 37º18'43" W), in the state of Sergipe, henceforth denoted by Fazenda Rio Fundo (FRF). The fragment has approximately 800 ha of native forest, associated with surrounding plantations of Eucalyptus sp. and bamboos. Among the native forest formations, the vegetation types of shrub-arboreal Restinga (RE), Mata de Tabuleiro (MT), and arboreal Restinga (mature, FM, and secondary, FS). Data collection was carried out monthly between March 2015 and February 2016. The different habitat types of the FRF were compared in relation to the availability of fruits, through phenological monitoring of tree species; and habitat structure, by analyzing its medium height, DBH, density, land cover rate and species composition of the tree community. The use of different habitats by capuchin monkeys, and the occurrence of potential predators of the species, was monitored using 31 camera traps, distributed among habitats. The FM and the FS are the habitats with greater height of canopy and ground cover rate at FRF, in addition to having a pattern of relatively continuous availability of fruit throughout the year. The areas of RE and MT, in turn, are the habitats with the highest dominance indexes in the plant community, as well as the most open and seasonal ones. From a sampling effort of 1,444 trap-day, capuchin monkeys were recorded in 430 videos in 39 separate visits. Nine of the 10 permanent sampling points in FM or FS received visits of the target-species. No record of the presence of monkeys was obtained in MT or RE. We observed that the areas of FM and FS represent preferential habitats for the yellow-breasted capuchins at FRF. This preference is related to the greater height of canopy and ground cover rate of these areas. The advantages conferred by these parameters refer to both the availability of food and support for the locomotion of the primates, and thus, protection against predation. The main threat faced by the population of S. xanthosternos at FRF refers to its limited size, which in turn, stems from the small size and high degree of isolation of the fragment. The presence of several small remaining fragments in the region, however, enables the creation of ecological corridors, which would increase the total area available for the maintenance of the yellow-breasted capuchins, contributing to the conservation of populations of the species in the state.
Macacos-prego são considerados frugívoros-insetívoros, apesar de explorarem uma vasta gama de recursos alimentares. A disponibilidade de frutos é um aspecto-chave da ecologia desses primatas, influenciando diretamente na qualidade da área para as espécies, além de frequentemente ser o principal determinante do padrão de uso da área de vida dos grupos. Numa análise em nível populacional, entretanto, o padrão de ocupação de um fragmento por macacos-prego pode ser influenciado por um conjunto mais amplo de fatores, o que inclui parâmetros estruturais do habitat. O objetivo do presente trabalho foi descrever o padrão de uso de diferentes fitofisionomias por uma população de Sapajus xanthosternos num fragmento de Mata Atlântica, relacionando-o a aspectos estruturais e de disponibilidade de frutos do ambiente. A área de estudo fica no município de Itaporanga D’Ajuda (11º08’07”S, 37º18’43”W), no estado de Sergipe, doravante tratado por Fazenda Rio Fundo (FRF). O fragmento possui cerca de 800 ha de floresta nativa, associados a plantações de Eucalyptus sp. e bambus. Entre as formações florestais nativas, estão as fitofisionomias de Restinga arbustivo-arbórea (RE), Mata de tabuleiro (MT), e Restinga arbórea madura (FM) e secundária (FS). A coleta de dados foi realizada mensalmente entre março de 2015 e fevereiro de 2016. Os diferentes tipos de habitat da FRF foram comparados entre si em relação à disponibilidade de frutos, através do monitoramento fenológico de espécies arbóreas; e à sua estrutura, através da análise de seus valores médios de altura, DAP, densidade, taxa de cobertura do solo e composição florística de indivíduos arbóreos. A utilização dos diferentes tipos de habitat pelos macacos-prego, além da ocorrência de potenciais predadores da espécie, foi monitorada através de 31 armadilhas fotográficas, distribuídas entre os habitats. A FM e a FS são os habitats com maior altura de dossel e taxa de cobertura do solo da FRF, além de apresentarem um padrão de disponibilidade de frutos relativamente contínuo ao longo do ano. As áreas de RE e MT, por sua vez, são os habitats com os maiores índices de dominância na comunidade vegetal, e também os mais abertos e sazonais da FRF. De um esforço amostral de 1.444 armadilhas-dia, o macaco-prego foi registrado em 430 vídeos, em 39 visitas independentes. Nove dos 10 pontos amostrais fixos em FM ou FS receberam visitas da espécie-foco. Não foi obtido nenhum registro da presença dos macacos em MT ou em RE. Foi observado que na FRF as áreas de FM e FS representam habitats preferenciais para os macacos-prego-do-peito-amarelo. Essa preferência parece estar relacionada à maior altura de dossel e taxa de cobertura do solo dessas áreas. As vantagens conferidas por esses parâmetros referem-se tanto à disponibilidade de alimento, com à de suportes para a locomoção dos macacos e, por conseguinte, proteção contra predação. A principal ameaça enfrentada pela população de S. xanthosternos da FRF refere-se ao seu tamanho limitado que, por sua vez, decorre do tamanho reduzido e alto grau de isolamento do fragmento. A presença de vários pequenos fragmentos remanescentes na região, entretanto, possibilita a criação de corredores ecológicos, o que aumentaria a área total disponível para a manutenção do macaco-prego-do-peito-amarelo, colaborando para a conservação das populações da espécie do estado.

A Amazônia compreende fitofisionomias que determinam a riqueza e abundância das espécies. Os primatas dependem dos tipos de florestas, onde a diversidade florística determina como as espécies exploram os recursos, fazendo com que uma mesma espécie possa apresentar preferências distintas de acordo com a fitofisionomia. O estudo se deu nas grades de 25km² do Parque Nacional do Viruá e Reserva Biológica do Uatumã. Nestas áreas com fitofisionomias diferentes, obtivemos dados de primatas obtidos por amostragem em transecto em linha que combinamos com imagens de satélite para determinar a partição do habitat. Com um esforço amostral de 709,24 km andados nas duas áreas, observamos oito espécies de primatas. Foram obtidos 119 registros nos tipos de florestas identificadas pelo índice de área foliar, cinco tipos em Viruá e três em Uatumã. As espécies ocorreram com maior frequência nos tipos de florestas mais densas, no entanto em Viruá muitas espécies ocorreram em formações mais abertas do que em Uatumã. Através da análise de correspondência verificamos que as espécies apresentam preferências distintas por tipos de florestas nas duas áreas. As diferentes extensões dos tipos de florestas somando-se ao predomínio de formações abertas como campina e campinarana em Viruá influenciaram sobremaneira a distribuição dos primatas. Este estudo mostra que as diferentes fitofisionomias da bacia do Rio Negro influenciam a distribuição de primatas, que podem ser mais ou menos relacionados com tipos de florestas dependendo de suas extensões, onde não podem ser considerados generalistas ou especialistas, mas usam os diferentes habitats de acordo com sua disponibilidade.

Full textAbstract:
Coimbra-Filho s titi monkey (Callicebus coimbrai Kobayashi & Langguth, 1999) is an endangered, but poorly-known primate that inhabits remnants of the Atlantic Forest in the
Brazilian states of Sergipe and Bahia (northern coast). The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of habitat fragmentation on the ecological characteristics and provide
information on population density and size, and basic ecological characteristics of the species within the study area. These data were also collected for other local primate
species. The survey took place at the Fazenda Trapsa in southern Sergipe, where two survey techniques were applied playbacks (in fragments of < 50 ha) and line transects
(fragments > 50 ha). A total of 476.1 km of line transect was walked between april and october, 2008. Population density was estimated using the DISTANCE program and the
Kelker method. Density was also calculated directly from group counts. A total of 12 groups were identified in the four large fragments surveyed. Groups of Cebus xanthosternos and Callithrix jacchus were also observed in all four fragments. The
presence of Callicebus in the two smaller fragments was confirmed by playback. The overall density in the larger fragments was 12.6 individuals per km². Both DISTANCE and
Kelker provided considerable over-estimates of density. The results of this study indicate the need for caution in the interpretation and comparison of density estimates in studies of titi monkeys, as well as re-emphasizing the efficiency of alternative methods for the surveying of populations in small fragments. Fazenda Trapsa appears to have a total population of around 50 titis, which may have a good chance of survival over the long term, especially if certain conservation measures are taken. The results of the study reinforce the need for the establishment of a reserve network, and the development of
active metapopulation management strategies, in order to guarantee the long-term prospects for the survival of C. coimbrai.O guigó de Coimbra-Filho (Callicebus coimbrai Kobayashi & Langguth, 1999) é um primata ameaçado de extinção, porém é uma espécie pouco conhecida e habita fragmentos de Floresta Atlântica no Estado de Sergipe e Bahia (litoral norte). O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar os efeitos da fragmentação de habitat sobre suas características ecológicas, trazendo informações sobre densidade, tamanho populacional e características básicas da ecologia dentro da área de estudo. Esses dados também foram coletados para outras espécies de primatas. O trabalho foi realizado na Fazenda Trapsa, no sul de Sergipe, onde duas técnicas de levantamento foram aplicadas - playback (fragmentos < 50 ha) e transecção linear (fragmentos > 50 ha). Foi percorrido um total de 476,1 km entre abril a outubro de 2008. Densidade populacional foi estimada através do programa DISTANCE e pelo método de Kelker. A densidade também foi calculada diretamente das contagens de grupos. Um total de 12 grupos foi identificado nos quatro maiores fragmentos levantados. Grupos de Cebus xanthosternos e Callithrix jacchus também foram observados em todos os quatro fragmentos. A presença de Callicebus nos dois fragmentos menores foi confirmada por playback. A densidade geral nos quatro fragmentos maiores foi de 12,6 indivíduos por km2. Tanto o DISTANCE quanto o Kelker forneceram super-estimativas de densidade. Os resultados do presente estudo indicam a necessidade de cautela na avaliação e comparação de estimativas de densidade de guigós, como também reenfatizou a eficiência de métodos alternativos para o levantamento de populações de guigós em fragmentos pequenos. A Fazenda Trapsa parece abrigar uma população de 50 guigós, que pode ter boas chances de sobreviver a longo prazo, principalmente se algumas medidas de conservação forem tomadas. Os resultados do estudo reforçam a necessidade para o estabelecimento de uma rede de reserva, e o desenvolvimento de estratégias de manejo metapopulacional ativo, a fim de garantir a longo prazo possibilidades para sobrevivência de C. coimbrai.

Full textAbstract:
Introdução: O Brasil possui a maior biodiversidade de mamíferos do mundo, sendo 734 espécies atualmente descritas, representando cerca de 13% da fauna de mamíferos do planeta. O avanço das atividades humanas, tem afetado diretamente esta fauna, devido a caça descontrolada, diminuição de habitat e introdução de animais exóticos, que causam grande impacto para essa fauna de animais silvestres. Decorrente a isso, as atividades conservacionistas para estes fins vem sendo cada vez mais colocadas em pauta. Diante disso, o estudo etnozoológico vem se destacando, pelo fato de apresentar-se como o estudo da ciência zoológica, elaborada através de saberes e crenças da forma que o homem percebe, classifica e utiliza os animais, assim atualizando-se destes conhecimentos, para elaborar estratégias de conservação envolvendo a interação dos humanos com os animais silvestres. Objetivos: Levantamento de mamíferos através de vestígios e diagnostico etnozoológico de produtores em campo, se deu através de buscas ativas quinzenais, realizadas durante novembro de 2019 a novembro de 2020, em bordas de fragmentos no município de Heliodora-MG. Os dados etnozoológicos foram obtidos mediante a visitas, de outubro a dezembro do ano de 2020. Resultados: Em 12 meses de coleta de campo, foram registradas 16 espécies de mamíferos silvestres, pertencentes a 15 gêneros, 11 famílias e sete ordens. A ordem Carnívora foi a mais abundante, com sete espécies, seguida de Rodentia, Lagomorpha e Cingulata com dois táxons por ordem, o restante, Artiodactyla, Didelphimorphia e Primates com um táxon por ordem. Os produtores rurais, citaram todas as espécies registradas em campo, acrescentando, seis espécies a ordem Carnívora, duas a Rodentia, Artiodactyla, e Didelphimorphia, e, uma, a Primates e Pilosa. Conclusão: Os aspectos etnozoológicos abordados neste trabalho, foram de suma importância para adquirir informações presentes e históricas da riqueza de mamíferos do local. Quando se observa um acréscimo no número de espécies pré-existentes, fica evidente, a eficácia do uso do estudo etnozoológico para inventários faunísticos, que, embora se faça necessário, uma maior investigação dos dados obtidos junto a população, são extremamente necessários para elaborar estratégias conservacionistas para o local.

Full textAbstract:
Introdução: Os ecossistemas sustentam a vida humana e suas diversas atividades por meio dos serviços ecossistêmicos, como serviços de suporte, de provisão, de regulação e socioculturais. Há um consenso em diversos círculos científicos sobre a importância dos serviços ecossistêmicos para apoiar a gestão ambiental, tomadas de decisão e políticas públicas, sendo que a identificação e seleção de serviços ecossistêmicos são etapas críticas que influenciam diretamente a relevância para a criação de uma Unidade de Conservação (UC). Objetivos: O objetivo geral da pesquisa foi identificar e avaliar a importância sociocultural dos serviços ecossistêmicos no Distrito do Saí. Materiais e Métodos: O território denominado Distrito do Saí localiza-se na parte continental do município de São Francisco do Sul, no litoral norte do estado de Santa Catarina. O processo de identificação dos serviços ecossistêmicos na área de estudo partiu de um check-list dos serviços ecossistêmicos identificados na literatura. Para a avaliação de importância sociocultural dos serviços ecossistêmicos, foram aplicados questionários de pesquisa junto as partes interessadas (comunidade local e especialistas) para identificar e avaliar os serviços ecossistêmicos do Distrito do Saí. Resultados: Foram identificados os seguintes serviços ecossistêmicos para as entrevistas com as partes interessadas: regulação atmosférica; fornecimento de água; retenção de solo; ciclagem de nutrientes; redução da poluição; polinização; habitat para espécies; fornecimento de alimentos; matérias primas; recursos genéticos; lazer e recreação; beleza estética; patrimônio e identidade cultural; e ciência e educação. Na avaliação de importância, tivemos 35 respostas para os questionários, onde 97% dos entrevistados consideraram o fornecimento de água como um serviço ecossistêmico muito importante, seguido de habitat para espécies (91%) e polinização (89%). Na outra ponta, o fornecimento de matérias primas foi considerado muito importante por 43% dos entrevistados, sendo este o serviço ecossistêmico menos relevante dentre os listados previamente. Conclusão: Os serviços ecossistêmicos mais importantes do Distrito do Saí representam serviços de provisão, de suporte e de regulação, podendo decorrer uma visão abrangente da população na percepção dos ecossistemas, o que é considerado fundamental como base de apoio para a criação de uma UC nesse território.
