SECOND GROWTH AS HABITAT TO NOCTURNAL BIRDS: COMPARING OCCURRENCE BETWEEN PRIMARY FOREST AND DISTURBED ENVIRONMENTS" Mônica Sberze Ribas Gonçalo Ferraz Mario Cohn-Haft
2
Future second growth sites? Amazon deforestation Fearnside, unp. data
3
Impacts of deforestation on forest species www.seppo.net
4
Increase in second growth area Wright e Muller Landau 2006
5
Objective Compare the occupancy of primary forest and second growth sites by nocturnal birds.
6
Focal species Cohn-Haft et al. 1997 Nyctibiidae Nyctibius griseus Nyctibius leucopterus Strigidae Glaucidium harhyi Lophostrix cristata Caprimulgidae Nyctidromus albicollis Caprimulgus nigrescens

Analysis that incorporate reality of the sampling process Estimate occupancy (Ψ) accounting for imperfect detection (p) Likelihood approach: What is the probability of obtaining a line of data given a model? 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Co-variables – logit (Ψ) = β0 + β1cap Mackenzie et al. 2002, Hines 2004

Influence of second growth in occupancy
12
Caprimulgidae and Strigidae pairs
13
Nyctibiidae pair – comparison between primary forest and second growth
14
Nyctibiidae pair – second growth modeling occurrence
15
Is second growth suitable for forest species? Expected (G. hardyi, M. watsonii, N. griseus, N. leucopterus, N. albicollis) Surprises (L. cristata, P. perspicillata, C. nigrescens e N. bracteatus) What exactly are they doing there?
