Levantamento expedito da ornitofauna de um fragmento florestal no município de Campo Mourão, Paraná

Abstract

Affirms the importance of the knowledge of the avifauna in the ecosystems and the impacts of forest fragmentation on these. The work aims to provide a theoretical framework and a basis for future studies, through survey of the birds in a forest fragment in the municipality of Campo Mourão. The composition and distribution of birds in Brazil was discussed, with emphasis in the State of Paraná, highlighting forest fragmentation as one of the main causes of environmental degradation and reduced gene flow between species. To obtain the results of methodologies were used method of transects and fixed points method. The record of the species found in the study area, highlighting their eating habits. As a result, obtained the largest number of species with omnivorous feeding habit, followed by the insectivorous, allowing to see which five species were present in all four works (present and comparison). Finally, explains the importance of preservation and management of small forest fragments to ensure the presence of the most demanding species.
