Avifauna of the Upper Guaporé River Valley in Mato Grosso state, Southern Brazilian Amazon Forest
View through CrossRef
The Guaporé Valley is located in an important transition area between the Cerrado and the Amazon biomes and has a large area of its extent legally protected by Conservation Units or Indigenous Territories. However, the region, inserted in the "deforestation arc", territorial area known for high rates of forest loss, has been changed over the years by the replacement of natural forests by pastures for cattle production. This work aimed to survey the bird population with the current land use in different areas. The research on bird species was performed from March 2012 to January 2013 in eight points along 25 km of the Guaporé River. It was recorded 11,192 birds belonging to 173 species from which 5 was seasonal visitors. Our study was also compared with other studies carried out in the area, and so we added 30 species not yet recorded by previous studies.
