ATLANTIC-PRIMATES: A dataset of communities and occurrences of primates in the Atlantic Forests of South America

There are 26 primate species in the Atlantic Forests of South America, 19 of them endemic. We compiled a dataset of 5,472 georeferenced locations of 26 native and 1 introduced primate species, as hybrids in the genera Callithrix and Alouatta. The dataset includes 700 primate communities, 8,121 single species occurrences and 714 estimates of primate population sizes, covering most natural forest types of the tropical and subtropical Atlantic Forest of Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina and some other biomes. On average, primate communities of the Atlantic Forest harbor 2±1 species (range=1-6). However, about 40% of primate communities contain only one species. Alouatta guariba (N=2,188 records) and Sapajus nigritus (N=1,127) were the species with the most records. Callicebus barbarabrownae (N=35), Leontopithecus caissara (N=38), a...

Pelage Variation and Distribution of the Black Lion Tamarin, Leontopithecus chrysopygus

Folia Primatologica, 2016

Since the discovery of the species, authors have described variations in the pelage of L. chrysopygus, but the nature of this variation has remained unknown. We examined museum specimens and living animals to see if the pelage of L. chrysopygus varies individually, geographically or ontogenetically. We reviewed all known locality records of the species, and concluded that the pelage of L. chrysopygus varies individually and ontogenetically, but not geographically. The extent of the golden chromogenetic fields is larger in younger individuals, and the pelage becomes darker after successive moults. We examined 2 juveniles that presented a pelage similar to adult L. caissara. Geographically, there is a clear break in the phenotypes attributed to L. caissara and L. chrysopygus, precluding clinal variation and corroborating the specific status of the ...

Within and surrounding the Morro do Diabo State Park: biological value, conflicts, mitigation and sustainable development alternatives

With a biodiversity that includes endemic species, such as the black lion tamarin (Leontopithecus chrysopygus) a seriously endangered primate, the conservation of forest remnants has become a priority. The non-profit organization Instituto de Pesquisas Ecológicas (Institute for Ecological Research (IPÊ)) has studied the forest in Pontal do Paranapanema and undertaken conservation initiatives such as environmental education, community involvement, habitat restoration and the promotion of policies that protect natural areas while simultaneously empowering people to improve their conditions of living. Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra (MST) a movement of the landless, has pressed local landowners and the government to distribute land for landless families, creating conflicts and diminishing the priority of nature conservation. Through transparent and participatory approaches IPÊ has succeeded in bringing the conservationists and the landless to work together in the planting of trees. Trees protect water, improve the soil and shield the settlers from environmental damages, while they form corridors for wildlife, buffer zones to protect forest fragments and "stepping stones" to propitiate seed dispersal. This innovative approach to conservation is already seen as an example to be followed in other contexts.

People, primates and predators in the Pontal: from endangered species conservation to forest and landscape restoration in Brazil's Atlantic Forest

These activities began as a research project on the conservation ecology of the highly endangered Black Lion Tamarin and broadened into a landscape-scale restoration and conservation project involving the active participation of hundreds of landless families that colonized the region. Rather than viewing these colonists as a threat, a non-governmental organization arose to address their needs, providing training and support livelihoods. Local communities were engaged in conservation and restoration activities focused on studying the movement patterns of endangered species, environmental education programmes, planting native trees along riparian corridors, establishing coffee agroforestry plantings and initiating community-managed nurseries for the production of local native seedlings and non-native fruit trees. Farmers gained knowledge, income and food security...

Planejamento De Um Corredor Ecológico Entre O Parque Nacional De Brasília e a Estação Ecológica De Águas Emendadas

A fragmentação de habitats é um fator que ameaça a conservação da biodiversidade por isolar populações de diversas espécies e por dificultar ou cessar o fluxo genético imprescindível à viabilidade das espécies. Este trabalho estuda a evolução da ocupação humana ao redor do Parque Nacional de Brasília (PNB) e a Estação Ecológica de Águas Emendadas (EEAE), dois núcleos da Reserva de Biosfera do Cerrado, como estratégia de proteção contra a fragmentação, planejando um corredor ecológico que as interligue. [METODOLOGIA] Fazer-se-á um estudo comparativo do progresso da ocupação humana e formas de utilização do solo, desde os anos de implantação da Capital até os dias atuais, nas áreas ao redor e entre as reservas, através de mapas e imagens de satélite. Como verificados em outras metodologias já aplicadas à implantação de corredores, este estudo fornecerá as bases necessárias para definição do local e as dimensões do corredor mais adequadas àquela área. [RESULTADOS] Observou-se que a região noroeste do PNB até a EEAE (Chapada da Contagem) e a área ao norte de Sobradinho ainda estão bastante preservadas, provavelmente por terem topografia acidentada, dificultando a sua ocupação. Assim sendo, é uma área propensa a abrigar o corredor ecológico. Nessa região encontram-se também diversos mananciais, o que faz a sua preservação ainda mais crucial, havendo uma utilidade social, além de ecológica. [CONCLUSÃO] A implantação de um corredor ecológico, ou um sistema de corredores, entre o PNB e a EEAE é possível e irá garantir a conservação e a sustentabilidade dessas Unidades de Conservação, além de promover melhoria na quantidade e qualidade de água para o abastecimento humano do Distrito Federal.
