Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Comportamento e dieta de Chiropotes albinasus (I. Geoffroy & Deville, 1848) - cuxiú-de-nariz-vermelho(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2013) SILVA, Rafaela Fátima Soares da; PERES, Carlos Augusto; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9267735737569372; VEIGA, Liza Maria; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4423233175920315The red-nosed cuxiú, Chiropotes albinasus, is a poorly understood neotropical primate that is listed at ‘Threatened with Extinction’ by the IUCN. The current study was conducted on a group of C. albinasus at RPPN Cristalino, MT, Brazil. Activity budget, use of space and feeding ecology were studied using Simultaneous Scan methods. The study group was monitored for six months (two months in the rainy season, four in the dry season). The behavioural categories Moving, Feeing and Paused accounted for 81.17% of the activity records. Most activity was recorded in the middle strata of the forest (between 16 and 20m). Diet was principally frugivorous (82.52%), but invertebrates were also eaten. Representatives from some 18 plant families were consumed. Arrabidaea spp. and Brosimum latescens were the taxa most commonly consumed. During the dry season there was an increase in the consumption of such nonfruit items as invertebrates and flowers. Group size varied between 1 and 19 throughout the study. The sex-ration of groups also varied greatly. Parental care was observed by male C. albinasus, as well as interspeciic agonistic interactions between the cuxius and Ateles marginatus and between Sapajus apella.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Efeito da fragmentação florestal sobre a estrutura da comunidade de drosofilídeos (Diptera) no extremo sul da Amazônia(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2005-02-28) SANTOS, Ronildon Miranda dos; MARTINS, Marlúcia Bonifácio; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8882047165338427Ambient disturbances frequently produce changes in the structure of landscape and fauna diversity. Data about degradation's history, ambient structure and species have been collected in 30 forest fragments of different sizes in Alta Floresta and Apiacás towns, south of the Amazonia, to verify how Drosophilidae community answers to forest fragmentation. The results showed great heterogeneity between forest fragments; however diversity was similar between larger and best conserved and small with high degree of degradation. A total of 10.692 individuals of Drosophilidae, divided in 62 taxons, were collected. Relation between forest fragments size and species diversity was not observed. However, e opening of sub-forest was one of ambient variables that contributed the more to reduction of species diversity. Estimate of species richness for the region was around 100. The structure of abundance of communities was more similar between the forest fragments than species composition. About 34% of total richness was restricted to de forest edge and 19% to the center of the remnants; 47% of the species was common to both habitats. Some species of drosophilids answered to a distance gradient forest matrix-center. D. malerkoffiana, S. latifasciaefonnis and Z. indianus decreased their frequencies with the proximity of the center. On the other hand, the group willistoni increased in abundance. The main effect of the forest spalling on the community of drosophílids is the drastic alteration in species composition, with the matrix of the habitat being determinative in species composition of forest fragments.
