Fire promoted opportunity for native grasses in a Neotropical grassland in Brazilian Cerrado invaded by the African grass <em>Melinis minutiflora </em>P. Beauv. (Poaceae). We studied the flowering species in four post-fire periods in a burned area of Serra da Canastra National Park, Brazil.
We investigated the behavioral differences in activity patterns of the Crab-eating Fox (Cerdocyon thous) and the South American Coati (Nasua nasua). We intended to verify if a temporal segregation was occuring, a strategy that can... more
We investigated the behavioral differences in activity patterns of the Crab-eating Fox (Cerdocyon thous) and the South American Coati (Nasua nasua). We intended to verify if a temporal segregation was occuring, a strategy that can facilitate the coexistence between those two common mesopredators in Cerrado savanas of central Brazil.
We studied the Granivores (seed-eating) birds of genus Sporophila that forage on native grasses (Poaceae) in grasslands and open savannas of the two main Conservation Units of southern Cerrado domain, Brazil. Here we presented basic data... more
We studied the Granivores (seed-eating) birds of genus Sporophila that forage on native grasses (Poaceae) in grasslands and open savannas of the two main Conservation Units of southern Cerrado domain, Brazil. Here we presented basic data on their richness and diversity.
We studied Mixed Flocks of Birds in open environments of Brazil. Here we present data on the participation of endangered species.
We investigated the fire effects on habitat use behavior of four species that depend on riparian ecosystems of São Francisco River, Serra da Canastra, Minas Gerais, Brazil.

O Parque Nacional da Serra da Canastra (PNSC) esta entre as unidades de conservacao (UC) brasileiras que sofrem com a ocorrencia frequente de incendios. A acao de incendiarios tem sido apontada como a principal causa. Apesar da prevencao e combate a esses incendios serem realizados ha anos no PNSC por meio da construcao de aceiros e combate direto ao fogo, os custos sao altos, em varias ocasioes os resultados nao sao plenamente satisfatorios, e o fogo acaba atingindo grandes proporcoes e ameacando a biodiversidade. Tendo em vista essa problematica, foi elaborado por analistas ambientais dessa UC, em parceria com pesquisadores vinculados a universidades, um projeto para o desenvolvimento de um Programa de Manejo Integrado do Fogo cujas metas foram: conhecer o historico de fogo no PNSC; integrar o conhecimento produzido e publicado por pesquisadores que desenvolveram pesquisas no PNSC; acompanhar as queimadas naturais, antropicas e de manejo; conhecer as respostas da biota local a oco...
