Resumo: | Birds of prey are important for maintaining ecosystems, since they can regulate the populations of vertebrates and invertebrates. However, anthropic activities, like habitat fragmentation, have been decreasing the number of birds of prey, affecting the habitat ecological relations and, decreasing biodiversity. Our objective was to evaluate species of birds of prey (Accipitriformes and Falconiformes) in a protected area of the Atlantic forest in northeastern Brazil. The area was sampled for 17 months using fixed points and walking along a pre-existing trail. Birds of prey were classified by their Punctual Abundance Index, threat status and forest dependence. Sixteen birds of prey were recorded, being the most common Rupornis magnirostris and Caracara plancus. Most species were considered rare in the area and not dependent of forest vegetation. None of the registered species were threatened with extinction. Our results showed that the studied area presents a considerable diversity of birds of prey, including species sensitive to environmental changes. Thus, it is important to protect this area to increase the availability of feeding and nesting areas for birds of prey. |

As aves de rapina são importantes para a manutenção dos ecossistemas, pois podem regular as populações de vertebrados e invertebrados. Porém, atividades antrópicas, como a fragmentação do habitat, vêm diminuindo o número de aves de rapina, afetando as relações ecológicas do habitat e diminuindo a biodiversidade. Nosso objetivo foi avaliar espécies de aves de rapina (Accipitriformes e Falconiformes) em uma área protegida de Mata Atlântica no nordeste do Brasil. A área foi amostrada por 17 meses em pontos fixos e percorrendo uma trilha pré-existente. As aves de rapina foram classificadas por seu Índice de Abundância Pontual, status de ameaça e dependência da floresta. Dezesseis aves de rapina foram registradas, sendo as mais comuns Rupornis magnirostris e Caracara plancus. A maioria das espécies foi considerada rara na área e não dependente da vegetação florestal. Nenhuma das espécies registradas estava ameaçada de extinção. Nossos resultados mostraram que a área estudada apresenta uma diversidade considerável de aves de rapina, incluindo espécies sensíveis às mudanças ambientais. Assim, é importante proteger esta área para aumentar a disponibilidade de áreas de alimentação e nidificação para aves de rapina.Universidade Federal de Campina Grande - UFCG2020-09-28info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttp://revistas.ufcg.edu.br/ActaBra/index.php/actabra/article/view/41610.22571/2526-4338416Acta Brasiliensis; Vol 4 No 3 (2020): Acta Brasiliensis; 156-160Acta Brasiliensis; Vol 4 No 3 (2020): Acta Brasiliensis; 156-160Acta Brasiliensis; Vol 4 No 3 (2020): Acta Brasiliensis; 156-1602526-43382526-432Xreponame:Acta Brasiliensis (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Campina Grande (UFCG)instacron:UFCGenghttp://revistas.ufcg.edu.br/ActaBra/index.php/actabra/article/view/416/106Copyright (c) 2020 Acta Brasiliensisinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSilva, Cleverton daAzevedo, Cristiano Schetini deRuiz-Esparza, JuanRibeiro, Adauto de Souza2021-07-12T20:03:31Zoai:ActaBra.revistas.ufcg.edu.br:article/416Revistahttp://revistas.ufcg.edu.br/ActaBraPUBhttp://revistas.ufcg.edu.br/ActaBra/index.php/actabra/oaiactabrasiliensis@gmail.com || actabrasiliensis@gmail.com2526-432X2526-4338opendoar:2021-07-12T20:03:31Acta Brasiliensis (Online) - Universidade Federal de Campina Grande (UFCG)false |
