Resumo: | In Brazil, few studies compare the consumption of native and exotic fruits, especially in an urban environment. The Network Theory may be useful in such studies, because it allows evaluating many bird and plant species involved in interactions. The goals of this study were: evaluate a bird frugivory interaction network in an urban environment; checking the role played by native and exotic plants in the network and comparing the consumer assemblies of these two plant groups. A literature review on bird frugivory in Brazilian urban areas was conducted, as well as an analysis to create an interaction network on a regional scale. The analysis included 15 papers with 70 bird species eating fruits from 15 plant species (6 exotic and 9 native). The exotic and native fruit consumers did not form different groups and the interaction network was significantly nested (NODF = 0.30; p < 0.01) and not modular (M = 0.36; p = 0.16). Two exotic plant species are in the generalist core of the frugivory network (Ficus microcarpa and Michelia champaca). The results point out that a relatively diversified bird group eats fruits in Brazilian urban areas in an opportunistic way, with no preference for native or exotic plants. |

A Teoria de Redes pode ser útil nestes estudos, pois permite avaliar várias espécies de aves e plantas envolvidas em interações. Os objetivos deste trabalho foram: avaliar uma rede de interações de frugivoria por aves em ambiente urbano; verificar o papel de plantas nativas e exóticas na rede e comparar as assembleias de consumidores destes dois grupos de plantas. Foi conduzida uma revisão da literatura sobre frugivoria por aves em áreas urbanas brasileiras e uma análise foi realizada para criar uma rede de interações em escala regional. Foram incluídos 15 trabalhos na análise com 70 espécies de aves consumindo frutos de 15 espécies de plantas (seis exóticas e nove nativas). Os consumidores de frutos exóticos e nativos não formaram grupos distintos e a rede de interações foi significativamente aninhada (NODF=0,30; p < 0,01) e não modular (M= 0,36; p= 0,16). Duas plantas exóticas fazem parte do núcleo de generalistas da rede de frugivoria (Ficus microcarpa e Michelia champaca). Os resultados indicam que um grupo relativamente diversificado de aves consome frutos em áreas urbanas no Brasil de maneira oportunista, sem preferência por nativos ou exóticos.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina2015-09-29info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/biotemas/article/view/2175-7925.2015v28n4p8310.5007/2175-7925.2015v28n4p83Biotemas; v. 28 n. 4 (2015); 83-972175-79250103-1643reponame:Biotemas (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/biotemas/article/view/2175-7925.2015v28n4p83/30389Copyright (c) 2015 Diego Silva Freitas Oliveira, Alexandre Gabriel Franchin, Oswaldo Marçal-Júniorinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessOliveira, Diego Silva FreitasFranchin, Alexandre GabrielMarçal-Júnior, Oswaldo2017-10-19T15:58:56Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/38913Revistahttp://www.biotemas.ufsc.br/index.htmPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/biotemas/oai||carlospinto@ccb.ufsc.br2175-79250103-1643opendoar:2017-10-19T15:58:56Biotemas (Online) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false |
