Resumo
Devido ao desmatamento e perda de área, a Mata Atlântica e suas fisionomias têm sido alvo de diversos estudos sobre as comunidades de aves em diversos fragmentos. O atual estudo visou registrar a riqueza de aves presentes em dois fragmentos de mata estacional semidecidual: a RNNP Olavo Egydio Setúbal (OES) com 615 ha e no fragmento pertencente à fazenda Igurê (IGR) com 320 ha. Além da análise e comparação da estrutura da avifauna nos dois fragmentos a partir de dados como riqueza e abundância, foram também comparadas as categorias alimentares e estratos de forrageio em relação às riquezas e abundâncias registradas em estudos conduzidos anteriormente nas mesmas áreas. Os levantamentos foram realizados mensalmente em cada fragmento durante um período de 12 meses por meio da metodologia de pontos de contagem. Foi registrado um total 129 espécies de aves nas áreas de estudo, sendo 102 espécies em cada fragmento. Os índices de diversidade e equidistribuição apresentaram-se ligeiramente maiores na OES; ambos locais apresentaram maiores riquezas de espécies insetívoras seguidas por frugívoras; quanto às abundâncias, espécies insetívoras foram mais abundantes nos dois locais, porém, as espécies onívoras apresentaram uma maior abundância em relação a OES. Nos dois fragmentos foram registradas espécies endêmicas da Mata Atlântica e ameaçadas de extinção, sendo na OES 22 espécies endêmicas e duas ameaçadas e na IGR 16 endêmicas e duas ameaçadas. A comparação com estudos anteriores revelou que as espécies que apresentaram maiores alterações possuem maior especificidade alimentar como insetívoros e frugívoros. Mesmo apresentando a mesma riqueza, as duas áreas possuem composições específicas distintas, sendo mais espécies de aves especialistas encontradas na OES e na IGR mais espécies generalistas. Apesar de estarem expostas a diferentes pressões, as duas áreas de estudo são de grande importância para a manutenção da avifauna do interior paulista, apresentando a capacidade de manter espécies endêmicas da Mata Atlântica e ameaçadas de extinção cujos níveis de sensibilidade muitas vezes não toleram fragmentos alterados.
Due to deforestation and loss of area, the Atlantic Forest and its physiognomies have been the target of several studies on the bird communities in several fragments. The present study aimed to record the richness of birds present in two fragments of semideciduous seasonal forest: Olavo Egydio Setúbal (OES) with 615 ha and in the Igurê farm (IGR) with 320 ha. In addition to analyze and compare the structure of the avifauna in the two fragments from data such as richness and abundance, we also compared the food categories and forage strata in relation to the richness and abundance recorded in studies conducted previously in the same areas. The surveys were carried out monthly in each fragment during a period of 12 months using the methodology of counting points. A total of 129 bird species were recorded in the study areas, with 102 species in each fragment. The diversity and evenness indexes were slightly higher in OES; both sites presented higher richness of insectivorous species followed by frugivores; insectivorous species were more abundant in both sites, however, the omnivorous species in IGR presented a higher abundance in relation to OES. In both fragments endemic species of the Atlantic Forest and threatened with extinction were recorded, being in OES 22 endemic species and two endangered species and in IGR 16 endemic and two threatened. Comparison with previous studies revealed that the species that presented the greatest changes have a higher food specificity such as insectivores and frugivores. Even though they present the same richness, the two areas have distinct specific compositions, with more species of specialized birds found in the OES and in IGR a higher number of generalist species. Although they are exposed to different pressures, these two study areas are of great importance for the maintenance of avifauna in the interior of São Paulo, presenting the capacity to maintain endemic endangered Atlantic Forest species whose levels of sensitivity often do not tolerate altered fragments.
